Vulnicura by Björk

While I can appreciate Björk as an artist, I can't say this album did much for me. A few of the songs were interesting, but it felt like it belonged more as background music for a film or something - not great listening on its own. I ended up skipping the last two songs because they were just a little grating.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

I can appreciate the musicianship here, but this album wasn't really for me.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Aug 31 2023

Nice, relaxing and feel-good.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 01 2023

Liked a few of them, but wasn't a huge fan of the rest. Vocals were a little bit whiney for my tastes, but I can appreciate why this album is well-regarded.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 04 2023

I can appreciate the musicianship here, but this album wasn't really for me.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 05 2023

Aside from "The Suburbs", this was surprisingly boring to me. I liked their other album "Funeral" more. I actually didn't manage to finish this one because I just really wanted to listen to something else instead...

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Sep 11 2023

Alright album. Reading his Wikipedia page gave some interesting context to it. Gentle enough to be decent background music but could potentially put you to sleep. Favorite track: Free Ride Album art: 4/5

Kenya by Machito
Sep 13 2023

I generally am a fan of this kind of older jazzy/big band/instrumental stuff, so this was a pretty cool album to listen to. It was very energetic but almost a little too much for me at times - "Frenzy" reminded me of the sensation of having drank too much coffee. Maybe that was the point! Overall enjoyed this one, but some of the brass sounds were a little harsh for me. Favorite track(s): None stuck out Album art: 3.5/5

Woodface by Crowded House
Sep 14 2023

This one didn't really impress me much, but it was easy listening.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Sep 15 2023

Enjoyed this one, though it did run a bit long.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Sep 18 2023
Dookie by Green Day
Sep 19 2023

Some good songs in here and I definitely like their sound. That said, a lot of the songs sound a bit samey.

Vulnicura by Björk
Sep 28 2023

While I can appreciate Björk as an artist, I can't say this album did much for me. A few of the songs were interesting, but it felt like it belonged more as background music for a film or something - not great listening on its own. I ended up skipping the last two songs because they were just a little grating.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Sep 29 2023

This was... really something. It gets two stars for being vaguely musical. Loved the creepy/weird album artwork.

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 02 2023

Groovy!

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Oct 04 2023

Meh. A gentle sound that wasn't too annoying in the background but it felt kind of pretentious.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Oct 05 2023

I was not expecting to like this as much as I did! Not normally into jazz but something about her sound was very groovy to me.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Oct 06 2023

The first few songs on this album were pleasant and not what I was expecting. Towards the end though it started to get more of that random musical freestyle stuff that is cool but not really something I want to have on for 11-18 minutes at a time...

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 28 2024

This is a pretty solid album, but didn't wow me too much. None of the songs really tickled me, but they have a good sound for sure.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 29 2024

Liked this one quite a bit! They are kind of nostalgic for me, and 1979 is one of my favorite songs. Recognized a few others, and even found a few new ones to add to my library! Cool album art too.

Nixon by Lambchop
Mar 01 2024

I was not sure what to expect going into this, but I was pleasantly surprised! It had a gentle sound but the titles and lyrics seemed just a tad unhinged, which was a fascinating combo. Not sure if I will return to this artist on my own, but it was an interesting and pleasant listen.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Mar 05 2024

I was looking forward to this one for some reason, but it disappointed me. Kind of boring - not unpleasant but didn't interest me as much as I expected.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 06 2024

I wasn't sure if I would like this one going into it, but it was actually pretty nice. Absolutely gave 80s movie vibes.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Mar 07 2024

This was really unique, I liked it. Favorite song: Five Man Army Album art: 2/5

Mar 08 2024

The first few songs started off slow for me, but this album ended up having a great sound and interesting variety. Liked it more than expected.

Jan 23 2025

I already liked this kind of music, so this was a pleasant surprise. Will be listening to him more for sure.
