Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 16 2023
Dummy by Portishead
May 17 2023

Everyone can agree on this album. It's perfectly average.

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 18 2023

Has a smooth jammy quality that I'm not into. Many songs are too long, overloaded with decoration, meandering loops. Others are interesting, intense. Sounds horny and whiny at the same time - vocals often duetting with the sax.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 15 2023

Very fun, creative, funky hiphop with some amazing beats. Lyrics range from funny and clever to "yo bitch" type shit.

Jun 19 2023

One of the most beautiful voices that keeps underwhelming me - it might be that the music he's covering has aged or maybe I just don't get Soul. The band is playing truly in the background which doesn't help me.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 21 2023

Heavy classic blues rock. The distorted guitar and rock vocals make this almost hard rock / early heavy metal. Steward grew on me, then annoyed me. Somewhat random seeming collection of covers and originals, sometimes wanky.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jun 22 2023

Very intense (sometimes insane) jammy experimental songs about high school bullying and unrequited love. Creative, peculiar, amazing voice.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jun 23 2023

I generally liked this! It's got lots of little moving parts and a good singer. Sometimes too folksy / traditional for my taste.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jun 26 2023

Very touching due to Cash being an absolute darling with the men. He plays anything and the crowd goes wild.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Sep 08 2023

Every song is too long. The space sounds are fun. The lyrics are SO BAD. Hilariously pretentious. Would be better without the singer - but still not good.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Sep 11 2023

Every time I listen to this band I think "Someone get this drummer a better band". I feel like I should like this since it's my favourite rock era - but I just don't. It sounds boring, the singing is bad, the lyrics are artsy-fartsy but the songs are bland.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 12 2023

Very straightforward blues rock classics, some are great, some are cheesy. I enjoy CCR in small doses but get bored of their LPs.

Sep 13 2023

Very monotonous mostly thanks to boring beats. Sound vaguely expensive but slow, doesn't have much substance in the lyrics. Nah! Not made for me.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Sep 25 2023

Great singer, pretty corny music

S&M by Metallica
Sep 26 2023

The softest metal amplified with an orchestra. Got bored about halfway through.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Sep 27 2023

Tame groovy soul. Random storytelling in the middle. Just not really my thing.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Sep 28 2023

Pretty great! Versatile, creative, funky, cool.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Sep 29 2023

Soft girly guitar pop. Solid but boring.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 30 2023

Musically this is much more interesting than the other one with less emphasis on shouty vocals and a genre buffet from jazz to punk. The lyrics are hilariously bad. I... liked it??

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 01 2023

Sounds like stabilized punkrock / new wave. Solid and a little boring.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Oct 02 2023

Wordy, sometimes whiny, mostly acoustic alternative.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Oct 03 2023

Not my favourite of his albums, this is very much the edgy look at me phase. Still he is already so funny!

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Oct 04 2023

Contemporary hard rock somewhere between rock'n'roll and emo with really dramatic singing. Fun! But annoying! But fun!

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Oct 05 2023

Beautiful voice, very cool funky R&B album. Not every song caught my attention but I enjoyed it.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Oct 06 2023

Calm folksy singer-songwriter type songs

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Oct 07 2023

Minimal jazzy beats that are fun but short loops. The rap adds more variation. Lyrics are often mundane.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Oct 09 2023

Incredibly intense and dark, almost industrial sounding, hard. Lyrics range from sexist crap to insane and clever. Immaculate performance with great tributes and features. Very good!

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Oct 10 2023

McCartney shows off his songwriting skills on some catchy pop songs. Band accompanying voice.

Jan 10 2025

Mostly laid back sometimes meandering funky jams. It's good but it lacks tension, gets hippy-esque.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 11 2025

The somewhat tamed, upbeat dancy version of Iggy Pop. Some bangers - some songs are going nowhere. Many go on for too long (Bowie!!!)

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 12 2025

Surprisingly boring blues music with lots of decorative guest stars

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 14 2025

Radio music. Extra star for some fun gimmicky guitar solos.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 15 2025

It all sounds the same, but it has power and some nice bluesy guitar solos.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jan 16 2025

Dense, melancholic but dancy at the same time, electropop

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 17 2025

Did not like this at all. Boring, whiny.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Jan 19 2025

Sounds exactly like the quarter of CSNY that he is. Some pretty finger picking.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jan 21 2025

Chaotic folk rock with heartfelt but cringy teeny lyrics

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 12 2025

Half-asleep dudes grooving along firmly inside of their comfort zones. Laid back, chilled-out, well done, boring.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 14 2025

Very stripped back, storytelly songs about petty criminals and troubled people. Solid, honest folk stuff

Bossanova by Pixies
Jul 11 2025

While this still has some d.i.y. charm the songs are just boring. As usual this band gets on my nerves with disinterested bad singing and the superficial punk pose.
