Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Sep 20 2023

Hard to hear all the lyrics - this is my first full Bob Dylan album. Harmonica is great and there’s more instruments than I anticipated. Lots of country-esque guitar strumming.

Marquee Moon by Television
Sep 21 2023

Really good guitar work Some songs super long Elevation had some ear irritating riffs and lead tones with too much high end Venus, Friction, and title track are all amazing

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Sep 22 2023

First album so far that was a bit of a chore to listen all the way through. I respect it though, there are funny lyrics, the Wildest! is perfect album name. Really good brass section.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Sep 26 2023

Intro song was dope, Boss made me want to rip my ears off holy shit that was brutal. 6 songs in and I don't feel like I needed to listen to this before I died. Just finished, album finished strong. I love hip-hip, but this is my least fav album I’ve heard so far (only about a week in). Offence hands down best song 2/5

25 by Adele
Sep 27 2023

My first 5/5 and I’ve had a Dylan and Bowie album so far. I mean holy shit this is good, I was annoyed I got an Adele album today but I mean holy shit. Banger after banger. Piano, guitar, and strings are *chefs kiss*

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Sep 28 2023

I feel like I’m listening to the iPhone alarm and ringtone greatest hits. Even the people who were inspired by this must have realized this shit sucks but concluded they could make music with these sounds. No amount of Molly could make me enjoy this early-EDM robot sound orgy.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Sep 29 2023

I feel like this would be an older album that’d influence musicians in the future, but it’s from 2000. There’s nothing new said here and no new musical approaches. This is the first time, however, that I have heard the singer/songwriter genre contain so much country & rockabilly flavor. Still, this album was nothing special for me. Maybe I didn’t listen to the lyrics hard enough, but who knows. Would rather listen to Bob Dylan or James Taylor any day.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Sep 30 2023

This will be my second listen to this album - I heard amazing things, but thought it was good not amazing. Hoping it’ll hit me harder the second time around. It’s good but same reaction. Superb guitar work, but didn’t tickle my spots the same way other albums have. Nothing I want to listen to more than once to be honest

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Oct 01 2023

So much going on in this album, lots of guitars and chorus pedals. Corny songs and mainly pop ballads. This would be fun stuff to play live. Pour some sugar on me is obviously a banger. The rest I don’t feel like I need to listen to again

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 02 2023

Before I start listening: I generally hate Sprigsteen but haven’t given him an honest fair listen. I will listen and report back. After a few songs: I like it, but sometimes I actually can’t understand what he’s saying because he’s using an absurd voice Overall liked it but didn’t love it

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Oct 06 2023

Meh

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Oct 09 2023

Not as horror rock as I thought. Lots of rag time riffs. Cool album

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Oct 11 2023

This album is hell. It sounds like Hitler and power tools had a baby

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 17 2023

I loved the continuation on this album - felt like one long song/journey. Not to mention there is everything you’d want - pop, rap, funk, guitar work

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Oct 19 2023

Really enjoyed this

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 21 2023

Absolutely and completely epic. The music is great but the experience of the album is the real treat

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Oct 22 2023

Realized to listen to “Fred Neil” and not the many faces of Fred Neil which is 2.5 hours far too late. Listened to the entire album and then some. Glad it’s over

Faith by George Michael
Oct 23 2023

Pretty boring but not the worst thing I’ve ever heard. I gave Bad by MJ a 3, so this has to be a 2

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Oct 25 2023

Classic country but soooo long. Some really friggin awesome instrumentals

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Oct 26 2023

Changed my idea of what a live concert can sound like. Bass in your face. Cool trippy shit but gets old, fast.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 27 2023

Awesome listen clocking in at around half an hour. Really enjoyed it and can see myself revisiting this album. 4/5

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 28 2023

So many different flavors - rock blues ska reggae

Bad by Michael Jackson
Oct 29 2023

Good pop album with a lot of good songs

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Oct 30 2023

Soft pop where nothing is said for an hour straight. Good voice, good beats, but not my cup of tea.

Green by R.E.M.
Oct 31 2023

So fucking unique and cool. Spoken wordy vocals with moments of serious power. Awesome guitar riffs, love the chorus drenched arpeggiated chords. Style and influences for days. 4/5

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 02 2023

Good but seems like it’s the same anthem with different words. Absolutely made the blueprint for later bands. Simplicity and coolness go a long way. 3.5/5

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Nov 06 2023

Hate the accents, pretty boring album

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Nov 07 2023

This was fucking awesome. Great lyrics and beats and first hip hop album like this I have ever heard. Very cool stuff. 4/5

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Nov 08 2023

I liked this album more as it went on. I think B may be the most overrated generational talent I know of, but she’s undeniably a master of her craft. Some unnecessary raunch, some perfectly placed raunch. Killer vocals and beats for her to shine. 3/5

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Nov 09 2023

Awesome album so far. Classic rock vibes but also modern. 4/5

War by U2
Nov 10 2023

Really cool intricate song writing. Guitar is really cool and not as effect driven as anticipated. Bono’s voice isn’t my favorite, but it’s instantly recognizable and gives the music a deep identity 3.5/5

Nov 11 2023

Awesome slow grooves where everyone’s absolutely COOKIN. Albums like this are why I’m grateful I wake up with a new album everyday. Is it a 5/5? Maybe not, but I’m giving it a 5/5 because it’s exactly the kind of music I want to discover

Nov 12 2023

Such a unique sound - I didn’t know Queen had a signature sound and style to such an extent. Great album, not my favorite but very very very good

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Nov 13 2023

Really good songs, really subpar lyrics

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 14 2023

Kinda cool but not my cup of tea - I liked the MGMT album more 2.5/5

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 16 2023

Awesome and so many instruments layered and hiding in the groove, just gotta listen

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 22 2023

Really good stuff

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Nov 25 2023

Slow but really fun and classic

Tago Mago by Can
Nov 26 2023

Went from cool to full on avant garde garbage

Disintegration by The Cure
Nov 28 2023

So slow it look me so long to get through and I never got into it

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Nov 29 2023

Not bad, a little try hard

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 09 2023

Holy hell this was good

Risque by CHIC
Jun 16 2024

Love chic and Nile but didn’t love this album
