Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Aug 21 2023

I find this album generally understimulating. Bob Dylan's is like a monotone painting with a backing band that offers little more underneath. Not for me

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 23 2023

Not a fan of geddy lee's voice. Excellent instrumentation but the vocals just kill the vibe for me

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 25 2023

A couple of the songs were pretty cool. I really like the breakbeat/Dub kinda stuff but other songs dragged on.

Dummy by Portishead
Aug 28 2023

I dig the lowkey electronic hip hop vibes. The vocals are a perfect compliment. I liked it but didn't LOVE it.

The Bends by Radiohead
Aug 29 2023

Not my favorite radiohead album but still a really great listen. Some truly excellent songs on this album. "Just" and "The Bends" lay down a strong rock background for slow emotional songs like "High and Dry" and "Fake Plastic Trees" to really shine. Many songs even fusing slow ballads with moments of overdriven pulsing rock like on "My Iron Lung". This album, like most radiohead, highlights both the moaning sadness and outright anger in Thom Yorke's voice and makes wonder "who hurt you dude"

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 30 2023

One of my least favorite rappers from the early 2000s. Not a big fan of this.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Aug 31 2023

Decent listening. Not highly offensive but not extremely interesting either

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 01 2023

This album is nostalgic for me. The vocal harmonies and instrumentation are gorgeous.

The Cars by The Cars
Sep 04 2023

Some pretty decent songs. Interesting but not mind blowing.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 05 2023

Vocals are kinda mid sometimes. Decent Riffs and solos

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 06 2023

It is groovy but this era of vocals are boring and cliche for me.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 07 2023

Wanted to like this. I didnt tho

Timeless by Goldie
Sep 08 2023

Some of these songs are entirely too long and drag WAY on

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Sep 11 2023

Groovy rock blues fusion. Pretty enjoyable

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Sep 14 2023

Meets expectations. Good musician but just a little too mild for me

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Sep 15 2023

classic michael kiwanuka. Certainly enjoyable especially when his lamenting vocal harmonies and cinematic swells are going. I will revisit this one

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Sep 18 2023

makes me wanna drive too fast on a japanese highway. I liked deep purple before and live albums are fun. definitely enjoyable

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 19 2023

This is a good album for me. I dont love every song but the ones I do hold a special place in my heart. Kurt singing r*** me for 2.5 minutes is... something

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 20 2023

2Hrs is a really long album. There are definitely songs I enjoyed but as a whole it felt like it really dragged on.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 21 2023

eh

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Sep 22 2023

I liked it more than I thought I would. Still just ok

Low by David Bowie
Sep 25 2023

Bowie is good. This is not my favorite of his.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 26 2023

Pretty cool except the singing

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Sep 27 2023

Power metal is one of my least favorite kinds of metal.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 29 2023

I used to really like this album. Unfortunately I was very bored by it on this listen. I guess tastes change

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 02 2023

Dave grohl MMMMMM

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 03 2023

Pretty enjoyable as a whole.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Oct 05 2023

ye this is cool. Neat synths, dancy vibes. Good for working fs

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 09 2023

Even though lou reed comes off as borderline tone deaf sometimes, this album is still a great listen.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 10 2023

the epitome of 90s rap. very cool

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Oct 11 2023

This is not my favorite genre but d'angelo is my favorite artist within it

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Oct 12 2023

Weather report is like 50-50 for me as far as jazz fusion goes. This album is probably more like 75-25 though so pretty good.

Guero by Beck
Oct 17 2023

A decent listen. Low tier as far as beck albums goes for me

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 18 2023

All rap artists seemed to evolve in the early 2000s into something I do not enjoy. The roots in the 90s are a group I love, sad to see that they fell to the pop inspired rap that became the norm in that era.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Oct 24 2023

Ive heard a couple songs off this but it was very enjoyable as a whole

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 25 2023

Im beginning to realize I like less Bowie than I thought

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Oct 26 2023

interesting. Great voice.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Oct 27 2023

Decent

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 31 2023

some bangers some bores

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Nov 01 2023

Biggie poured his pain from the past and joy of the future onto these tracks and it shows

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 08 2023

Joni Mitchell has an extremely pleasant voice. This is super stripped back but honestly still was pretty enjoyable. Just a girl and her guitar

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Nov 09 2023

Not for me but she is incredibly talented

Arrival by ABBA
Nov 10 2023

Its ABBA, maybe not ABBA at their best but even ABBA at their worst is a spectacle that shines brighter than most

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Nov 13 2023

Pretty solid album, less heavy on funk than I was expecting but still good

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Nov 14 2023

Ella set the bar for jazz vocalists. Truly gorgeous stuff

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 15 2023

Its decent. sounds like most 90s synth pop though. Still not bad

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Nov 16 2023

There have been a small number of times during this experiment where an album actually shattered my expectations of it. This was very pleasant. Not monotonous like some other albums in this genre. Melodically interesting. Wow

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 17 2023

One second listen it wasnt as bad as I initially thought but I still wasnt an enjoyer

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 20 2023

Work is not the right place for this music and I probably wouldn't pick it in a situation where it is more warranted

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Nov 22 2023

its alrght

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 24 2023

A nostalgia bomb. Very solid indie/alt rock vibes all around.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 27 2023

Its certainly not bad music. Its just not really a genre I care for most of the time

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Nov 28 2023

Someone get him a voice coach. Sometimes better than decent beyond that

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Nov 30 2023

They kinda sound like a beatles clone. Pretty fun listen still

Boston by Boston
Dec 01 2023

Lot of good songs but still just not really my vibe

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 05 2023

Depeche Mode is one of the more pleasant 80s synth pop groups for me. Still only sorta like it though

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Dec 06 2023

Bri'ish But ye its alright I guess. Some decent tracks but also I was bored 7 songs in

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 07 2023

I typically really like 80s rap but this didnt really do it for me for some reason

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 12 2023

Enjoyable electronic music. Not always the most interesting but good for putting my head down and focusing on some work

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Dec 13 2023

This album feels a little noodly and not in a cool jazz way, in the way that 4 guys in their garage noodle together. There are some cool parts but it is overshadowed by the guitarist's less than interesting improvisation

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Dec 14 2023

Rap and EDM fusion should have been enough to sell this to me but it turned out it took two parts of both genres that I am not a fan of

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 15 2023

Beyonce is extremely talented and some of her songs I like. Most of this album was just hard for me to get through though

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 18 2023

pretty enjoyable. The smiths vocals arent my favorite but generally enjoyable enough

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 19 2023

Thought I wasnt gonna like this but I liked it. It good

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 20 2023

Lots of decent moments and pretty enjoyable overall

Fun House by The Stooges
Dec 21 2023

The stooges are alright at the end of the day. Kinda not that entertaining in the grand scheme of all available rock music

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 25 2023

Pretty enjoyable listen. Nice vocals, some recognizable songs. Instrumentation is mostly unimpressive but also enjoyable so who cares

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 04 2024

Mostly fine, except for I keep coming back which grated my soul like nails on a chalk board. Bruh needed a vocal coach or something
