S&M by Metallica

Another album that I've heard 100+ times. The addition of the symphony is extremely well done. RIP Michael Kamen.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Oct 06 2023

- I knew "Without a Sound" from this band before hearing this album and I like that album - Album came out the year I was born, had no idea they were making music this early - Cool solo on Sludgefeast - Poledo is very strange and not in the greatest way - Cover of The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" - a little sped up with different guitar and vocal effects, but largely the same. It cuts off right before the ending chorus which was weird. - Overall not a bad album but not a great one. No song jumped out to me as a big hit, but it was a nice little jam/experiment album. I like "Without a Sound" much better.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 07 2023

- Never really listened to Tom Waits before so I'm pretty excited - "Downtown" is pretty good - Not a bad album, but not exactly my preferred type of rock. I can certainly see that he is a talented artist and why people enjoy his music.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 08 2023

- I haven't been much of a fan of Steely Dan so I'm hoping this will change my mind. - "Do It Again" is a certified banger. - Alright, I didn't know that "Reelin' in the Years" was Steely Dan. Shame on me! - This is a pretty good album. I'm quite pleased!

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 09 2023

I've known this album for a long time, it's definitely one of the greats. But I'll never turn down a good excuse to give it another listen.

Suede by Suede
Oct 10 2023

I have never heard of Suede or heard anything by this band, but I wasn't impressed at all. Sorry England :(

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Oct 11 2023

- "Dreamer" is the only song I knew prior to this listen and I like it. - "School" is pretty good. - Overall it's a good album, no amazing songs jumped out at me other than "School" and "Dreamer."

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Oct 12 2023

Early 80s pop. It's decent in the beginning, but gets very repetitive towards the end of the album. Good saxophone work though. It's probably deserving of a 2.5 in my book, but I'll round up.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Oct 13 2023

I did not finish the album. The first half was so bad imo that I couldn't go any further. I am disappoint.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Oct 22 2023

Good album. Not too keen on the Beatles cover. Fame is a classic of course.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Oct 23 2023

Good album if you like Bob Dylan. It's Bob doing what Bob does best.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Oct 27 2023

This is nearly a greatest hits album for Billy Joel. Very good album, even the lesser known songs are decent at worst.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 28 2023

This is an album I've listened to several dozen times. Automatic 5 stars from me.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Oct 30 2023

Pretty good album. I need to pick this one up.

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 05 2023

This is a great album for what it represents. But when you really listen, so many of the songs sound exactly the same.

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 12 2023

This is a pretty good album. Some nice bass and drum parts.

S&M by Metallica
Nov 15 2023

Another album that I've heard 100+ times. The addition of the symphony is extremely well done. RIP Michael Kamen.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 16 2023

Great vocals and music. I enjoyed this alot more than I expected.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 17 2023

Great classic album.
