Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

4/5

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

Television

3/5

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!

Louis Prima

3/5

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.

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

Catchy stuff

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Love this electronic pop shiz

Joan Armatrading

3/5

Boring

GREY Area

Little Simz

2/5

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

Adele

5/5

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

Kraftwerk

1/5

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

Ryan Adams

2/5

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

Funkadelic

3/5

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

Def Leppard

2/5

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

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

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

Sound Affects

The Jam

3/5

Early strokes lite

Countdown To Ecstasy

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Classic Clapton and allman. Best guitar work on any album maybe ever

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

4/5

Really enjoyed this

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

3/5

Very average alt rock

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

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

Fred Neil

2/5

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

George Michael

2/5

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

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Enjoyed it but will need to relisten

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

Classic country but soooo long. Some really friggin awesome instrumentals

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

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

Elvis Presley

4/5

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

London Calling

The Clash

4/5

So many different flavors - rock blues ska reggae

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Good pop album with a lot of good songs

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

2/5

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

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

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

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Never got sucked in. 2/5

Ramones

3/5

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

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

5/5

Fuckin awesome

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

2/5

Hate the accents, pretty boring album

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

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

Beyoncé

3/5

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

Oasis

4/5

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

War

3/5

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

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

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

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

4/5

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

Turbonegro

3/5

Really good songs, really subpar lyrics

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

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