Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 21 2023

Turn to Stone: Solid 4 (Iconic) It's Over: Light 3 Sweet Talkin Woman: Solid 4 (Iconic) Across the Border: Heavy 2 (kinda bothersome) Night in the City: Heavy 2 (love the strings!, song is alittle annoying, all over the place) Starlight: Light 4 Jungle: Light 4 Believe Me Now: n/a Steppin Out: Lightest 4 Standing in the Rain: 3 (great practical instrumental really close to a 4) Big Wheels: Solid SOLID 4 Summer and Lightning: Light 4 Mr. Blue Sky: 4 (iconic) Sweet Is the Night: Light 4 The Whale: Heavy 2/Light 3 Birmingham Blues: Lightest 3 Wild West Hero: Lightest 3 (good blend from BBlues) Overall, I really like the production and specifically inventive composition, feels like a Beatles album but still inventive enough. Strings are a plus and a half

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Sep 22 2023

Bro those keys though! And the sax such a vibe. But I have to parsel through jazz albums no matter how good they are.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Sep 23 2023

Wow okay the first four songs were incredible. A little long but that's okay. You can definitely see influences that other artists had from this. However I personally can't stand Smoke on the Water and Lazy so 5/7 songs is gonna have to bring this one down a little.

Sep 25 2023

As a hip hop fan, it really makes me sad this is a 2. I really wanted to like it but it is far too bloated.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Sep 29 2023

So overrated. Like I understand why it's in here but goddamn

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Sep 30 2023

Yep, these guys know how to play instruments that's about all I can say it's pretty meh. I really don't like calling this a live album. RIP Phil Lynott, he was pretty cool.

Oct 03 2023

Literally could be a 3 but that 7 minute song absolutely killed this record. Dylan is so overrated. I respect his style and audience but at the same time he mumbles nonsense. Shorten the album a little bit and it would have really surprised me.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Oct 04 2023

Honestly surprised how much I liked this. I truly thought it would be copy and paste and while some songs are the majority are different

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Oct 05 2023

Pretty much seems like rejected Steely Dan songs. The songs have a good beat/instrumentation but then he sings and it's like "alright buddy". Nothing is awful but it's definitely not 1001 albums type stuff.

Fun House by The Stooges
Oct 06 2023

Idk man. I was a 3 all up until the last song. Some of it is long and for some songs it works. It's a shame cause I love punk so much

Boston by Boston
Oct 07 2023

Yeah this absolutely hit after hit. A true classic that deserves to be played everywhere. It is so impressive.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Oct 08 2023

This one isn't bad. Just really not my thing

Oct 10 2023

If the Beatles made an album in 2010, it would sound like this.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Oct 12 2023

The first full-length Police album that I've listened to. Not as poppy as I would like because I really like their hits. That being said, it is clear why these guys are the legends they are.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Oct 16 2023
Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Oct 17 2023

This one just wasn't it, even as background

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Oct 23 2023
Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 28 2023

The movie is not a representation of this album. The movie is not a representation of this album. The movie is not a representation of this album.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Oct 29 2023

Um.... yeah
