Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 17 2023

Big fan of the keys! This was my gateway album to them back in the day. Great memories!

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 18 2023

Some great hits on this one. Others sound alike to me. We've come a long way in the recording production quality these days!

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Aug 21 2023

Great artist, no doubt. I have to be in the mood for jazz, which involves a glass of whiskey in a dimly lit bar! So it was good but it won't be on repeat for me.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Aug 22 2023

British pop in this era all sounds the same to me. Not a bad album, some good hits. But overall it all blended to the same beat for me. Objectively good though

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Aug 23 2023

Did I get locked after hours in a 1995 Tower Records?

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 24 2023

Not my typical jam but I appreciate the significance of this album. I gave it that third star just because of its place in history. And hey, look at us, we legalized it!

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Aug 28 2023

Love the Arctic Monkeys and Alex Turner's distinctive voice. I didn't know about this supergroup until now and was pleasantly surprised! Props to them for blending their sound with Bowie and 60s British Pop to make something different. Glad I gave it a listen.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Aug 29 2023

This is another album that all sounds the same to me. Long drawn out ballads of rock that flow into each other. Plus I'm just sick of some of these tracks that have been played to death. Definitely an iconic album, I get that. Just not something I'll listen to on repeat.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Aug 30 2023

I'm not sure what to rate this album so I gave it three stars. In a massage, this would be 5 stars. While swimming laps or running sprints, I give it 2 stars. While trying not to grow impatient with someone, I rate this one transcended spiritual plane. Averages out to about 3 stars.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Sep 01 2023

The whole album feels yuck, and not because of the name, lol! So not my vibe. And while I get the musical evolution, this is one chain in the evolve I could do without.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Sep 04 2023

This is what I was waiting for all week! So many hits on this album but as a whole this thing is pure gold.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 05 2023

An iconic album, and while I wouldn't normally reach for it I had a hard time critiquing it. I was transported to its release and it seemed like such a game changer. She was a powerhouse from the first line of the first song.

Sep 08 2023

I never listened to the whole album til now. As a whole, I can see how this hit the scene hard and made fifty a big deal. Lots of very good tracks with a couple standout. Very consistent.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Sep 12 2023

I have never understood the appeal of Kanye. This is odd, but also doesn't seem that technically impressive. Maybe I'll read the other reviews and discover what I'm missing. But this album didn't change much for me.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Sep 13 2023

It's a 3.5 star album, but a 4 star artist for me. It's great mood music for the fall and I love the vibes.

Unpopular opinion alert... I don't get the Bob Dylan praise. I mean I kind of appreciate the lyricism. But it must not be my jive. I know. I'm probably wrong. But I won't be revisiting Dylan anytime soon.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Oct 02 2023

Definitely a landmark album and had huge influence on a lot of people. Not my jam but the album is great enough for me to be able to enjoy most of it regardlessa

Oct 03 2023

What I heard and I didn't get to all of it was very hippie vibe and chill. Nothing wrong with that but nothing I'll be going out of my way to revisit. 3 stars because it was okay and I didn't get to all of it so I won't dog it too badly

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Oct 05 2023

Hard not to give this iconic album 5 stars

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Oct 06 2023

Hip hop married punk the day this album came out and we should all be so grateful it did.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Oct 11 2023

I must repeat my last review, they all sound the same to me. Objectively good, rock n roll with distortion and mild screaming. In the right mood, nothing better. Otherwise 3 stars

Nowhere by Ride
Oct 13 2023

A great 90s vibe. Not sure what makes it a top album. But thanks for the nostalgic feels!

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Oct 16 2023

Such an ace of an album. If hip hop isn't your thing I get it. But Dr Dre moved the needle for hip hop with this one and set course for 2 + decades of music that has killed it.!

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Oct 19 2023

I'm not digging this pre-Paramore punk band, but I get why some love it.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Oct 23 2023

I have a soft spot for AC/DC, meaning I love their version of hard rock. But one star off for being over played, which isn't really their fault but still there's only so many times I can hear them scream the song before it gets old. Can't wait for that long awaited acoustic coffee house version of the album to come out...

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Oct 24 2023

This one was actually pretty great. I had nothing bad to say about it except that the cover was strange. But I'm not supposed to judge by thr cover so 5 stars it is

New Wave by The Auteurs
Nov 09 2023

Hey look at me, I'm rating albums again! And this one was hipster which I like but a little too hipster at times and not hipster enough at others. It worked well in the background of work.

Ever notice how U2 basically sings the title of their track over and over again and makes billions doing it? Distinct sound, great vibes, and it's Bono.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Nov 13 2023

How many led zeppelin albums must I endure before the list is done? I think it has been 10% zeppelin so far and they all sound the same. 2 stars, one because I'm tired of it and the second star because it is still pretty good...

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 14 2023

Better than I remembered it being. I was not a fan for forever but as a whole this album feeds my inner punk kid. I liked it.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Nov 21 2023

I thought I would dig this more but most the album was incoherent mumbling alongside slick, distorted guitar riffs. A couple good songs but an album I wouldn't pick up again.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Nov 22 2023

Yeah I like them, and that's why I have it 4 stars. I have no other comments, your honor.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Nov 28 2023

I thought it would be 3 stars. Then I conceded to 4. Then I admitted it was 5 stars. He's a GOAT in his genre. I may not mainline the music but mad respect is given.

Tommy by The Who
