Low by David Bowie
Sep 22 2023

More prog rocky than I expected. Wasn't really into some of the vocal interludes. Album has definitely aged.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 26 2023

Great album. Fresh. Some lows, lots of highs.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Sep 27 2023

Hard not to love this once you've warmed up to Geddy Lee's vocals. Very solid and consistent album through and through with some absolute classics.

Arular by M.I.A.
Sep 28 2023

Couldn't get through this album. Just when part of a song starts to get catchy, a cacophony of dissonant samples and effects are mashed into your eardrums. On the plus side you get a bit of a break with the skits.

Sep 29 2023

Solid. Tight. Smooth. Consistent to the point that it may have been nice to have more variety. Truly a rapper's delight.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 02 2023

Okay not great

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 03 2023

Not bad, but not particularly fresh or interesting. Recognize a lot of influence that this has had on other musicians (Sixto Rodriguez).

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 04 2023

Has aged pretty well for an electronic album. Not bad at all.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Oct 05 2023

Solid rap album, a lot more hip hop elements than I expected. Decent.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Oct 06 2023

This was okay. A lot of the 1990s rap albums are starting to blur together. They're all pretty good but a bit dated at this point.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 11 2023

Good album, but no big bangers.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Oct 12 2023

Not my cup of tea. Very whiny, could not finish.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Oct 13 2023

Just an awesome album. Lots of soul and a solid rock/blues backbone.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Oct 16 2023

Not the worst

Young Americans by David Bowie
Oct 24 2023

Very solid album. A lot more energy and funk than `Low` and 2 absolute banger singles.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 25 2023

Not the worst.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Oct 27 2023

Just sad

Live! by Fela Kuti
Oct 30 2023

Fantastic, my first 5 star album. Just an amazing 1hr set with incredible instrumentals, feeling, and vocals. Absolutely banging performance.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 31 2023

Solid

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 07 2023

Not the worst

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Nov 14 2023

Seriously funky

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 18 2024

Pretty meh.

Doolittle by Pixies
Apr 19 2024

Some great guitar and drum parts but screechy guitar / vocals turned me off quite a bit.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 22 2024

Banger central

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 24 2024

Fantastic album, all of the songs were great. Amazing soul sounds of the 60s!

American Idiot by Green Day
Apr 25 2024

Highschool lightning captured in a bottle. Still great to this day despite some of the tracks being VERY worn out / overplayed. Bonus of a great followup playlist in the Spotify recommendations.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Apr 26 2024

Not the worst. I can see this being very influential in more modern bands that I like but this was a bit too old school / indie punkish for my tastes.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 29 2024

Great album! Lots more sadboi vibes here than the later Coldplay stuff. Great hits and decent all the way through.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 30 2024

Really solid album. Lots of creative music styles from the era and great vocal harmonies. Can't believe I've never listened to this before.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
May 01 2024

A lot of songs, some of them are okay

Leftism by Leftfield
May 02 2024

Interesting. Not bad considering how poorly electronic music ages.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
May 03 2024

Very cool. A little bit dissonant at times but definitely breaking some ground and ahead of its time.

May 06 2024

This was fantastic, almost no skips, great melodies.

Arrival by ABBA
May 14 2024

Meh, pretty underwhelming to be honest considering how many bangers they've made.

The Man Who by Travis
May 16 2024

Unexpectedly brilliant album.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
May 29 2024

Couldn't get through it

Homework by Daft Punk
May 30 2024

Honestly, hasn't aged that well but still pretty great.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 31 2024

Solid - a lot more variety than expected.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jun 06 2024

Can't beat this album if you want to mambo. Wall to wall classics.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jun 07 2024

Wasn't crazy about the vocals but a musically sound album.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jun 12 2024

Not the worst. Not really my style but very musical.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jun 19 2024

Enjoyable and unoffensive southern rock.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jun 20 2024

Classic.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jun 21 2024

Couldn't take the lyrics and sampling noises

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jun 24 2024

Solid but expected more bangers based on the huge hits on the album.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jun 26 2024

Couldn't handle the vocal style.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jun 27 2024

Good not great IMO

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jun 28 2024

This is just a great, up the middle classic rock album.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 04 2024

Unreal.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jul 10 2024

Very enjoyable easy listening.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 15 2024

Very poppy. Mostly pretty good, not a huge fan of the slow ballads.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jul 17 2024

Great ASMR voice. Very musical album as well. Not into all of the religious under/overtones.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Jul 25 2024

Very enjoyable electropop album.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jul 26 2024

Not bad

2112 by Rush
Aug 01 2024

Pretty good when Geddy isn't singing

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 16 2024

Classic. Not bad. A lot more instrumental than expected - but in a great way.

Guero by Beck
Aug 19 2024

Not bad

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Sep 26 2024

Max 80s pop. Is that a good thing?

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 01 2024

Meh
