All Directions by The Temptations
May 17 2023

Funky grooves. Vocals weren't my style.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
May 18 2023

Fever is a heater. Really like guitar part in "It Feels So Right". Rest of the album didn't do much for me.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
May 22 2023

Groovy and bouncey. Bass and drums really keep things moving. Solid background music

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 23 2023

Great harmonica throughout. Little repetitive at times but that's 60s blues

Teen Dream by Beach House
May 24 2023

Great beginning, slows down near the end but still an all time record

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 25 2023

Way more bizarre than The Sensual World. Not my cup of tea

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
May 26 2023

Darkly atmospheric. Rocket's Tail my favorite. Sneaky 80s guitar leads throughout. This Women's Work a banger of an outro

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
May 29 2023

Cecila Boxer Baby Driver Beginning a little too slow Ending finishes well Weird choice to throw a live song in there

May 30 2023

Much more acoustic than later Talking Heads stuff. Take me to the river stands out as the big banger. Overall cool look into what they would become

Black Metal by Venom
May 31 2023

Post-sabbath core. Doesn't have the same punch as Slayer and the guitar isn't as good as Pantera. Teacher's Pet interesting bluesy metal song

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jun 01 2023

Mdou Moctar adjacent. Love this style of desert blues

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jun 05 2023

Reggatta De Blanc should have been the opener. Copeland going off. Walking on the Moon a classic as well. Does Everyone State has a real swing/bouncy feel. Album really shows off Copeland's mastery

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 06 2023

2+2=5. Love the transition between I Will and A Punch Up at a Wedding.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Jun 07 2023

French orchestral metal. Unique for sure

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 08 2023

Heads Will Roll still slaps. Runaway may be my favorite.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jun 09 2023

Little too out there for me

Jun 12 2023

Nothing really stood out. Suppose I'm not much of a Queen fan

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 13 2023

Cliche to say but there's no skips here. Easiest 5/5

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jun 14 2023

Hits are solid. Everything else kinda meh

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jun 16 2023

Girls and Time are good. Nothing else really stood out

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jun 19 2023

Child in Time best song. Deep Purple pretty solid 70s rock band

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 20 2023

Six Blade Knife - Mark waits till the last minute to lay into a jam. Sultans an obvious classic, may be one of the best songs ever written. In the Gallery real groovy that slows chugs along. Wild West End love song.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 21 2023

who sees you - awesome climax. new you - do do doo ending. in another way - chaos. nothing is - even more so.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 30 2023

Honey and My All low key bangers. The Roof (Back In Time) - samples the Shook Ones Pt. 2. Didn't finish

Jul 05 2023

Not my favorite Korn album. Self titled much better. Cleaned up their sound but not as good. Got the Life and Children of the Korn (with Ice Cube!) stand out. All in the Family with Fred Durst is awful. End of the album drags

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jul 06 2023

Novocaine for the Soul, Beautiful Freak, My Beloved Monster. Very unique sound. Could have fallen in the 90s alt trap but they kept their sound interesting.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jul 07 2023

Bahia - Khruangbin could cover this. Overall pretty solid background jazzy bossa nova album.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 10 2023

Could be the easiest 5 star yet. Aja really the only song I don't love. Deacon, Black Cow, and Peg all bangers. Home At Last probably the best with the slow build into a killer solo. Got the News also pretty forgettable.

Queen II by Queen
Jul 12 2023

Lot of mother/father son songs. So far much better than Sheer Heart Attack. Queen doing standard rock sound instead of operatic Queen.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 13 2023

Love this album. Kiss Off, Add It Up, Promise. Shocked that this came out in 1983. Pioneered an early 90s folk punk.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jul 18 2023

Lullaby kids music. "Wild World" and "Father and Son" I had heard before. Likely on some movie soundtracks

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jul 20 2023

Spotify labeled it as trip hop but I don't see it that way.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jul 21 2023

"Hit me with your rhythm stick" guy. Overall real funny and enjoyable

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jul 25 2023

Definitely ahead of its time. Drums are constantly moving, guitar/keys are very unique.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jul 26 2023

Big U2 influence. Reprise at the end got really spacey.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Aug 10 2023
Parklife by Blur
Aug 14 2023

Cant see why they get so much hype. Not just Song 2 band

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Aug 15 2023

So ahead of his time. Wille the Pimp and The Gumbo Variations are jams

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Nov 17 2023

Love the One You're With, Go Back Home, Black Queen. Especially Black Queen - jammy acoustic tune.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Nov 20 2023

Strangelove a standout. Like the overall vibe but nothing really stands out. A little long as well

Guero by Beck
Nov 24 2023

E-Pro, Girl, Go It Alone, Farewell Ride. Beck all over the place on this one - some electronic songs, some dirty acoustic bangers with a harp, crunchy rock songs.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Nov 29 2023

Really liked the piano version of Sympathy. Bluesy Stones

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 30 2023

Sloop John B. Would have preferred to listen on headphones or better speakers

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Dec 01 2023

Didn't really care for his voice. Nothing really stood out.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Dec 04 2023

Bangers on bangers. Movin' Out, The Stranger, Scenes from Italian restaurant, and Vienna

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Dec 05 2023

Watermelon man and Chameleon

Kenya by Machito
Feb 16 2024

High energy. Overall liked it more than I thought I would

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 21 2024

Expectations, My Wandering Days are Over, Mary Jo

Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 27 2024
Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 05 2024
Low by David Bowie
