Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

I'm not sure how this album ended up on this list. I'm pretty sure I could find a better album not on this list in any used record store in the world. Maybe there's political or historical information I'm lacking that would help change my opinion, but I'm not going to waste any more time on it.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 06 2023

Solid, just as good as when I first heard it in 1992. Its got a few tracs that don't measure up but overall pretty good.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Oct 11 2023

Gritty rock at its best.

Synchronicity by The Police
Oct 13 2023

Some exceptional songs with some strange ones sandwiched in. The strange ones aren't exactly bad but I'm not sure I can call them good after the first listen.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Oct 14 2023

Fiona Apple is ok. This isn't my favorite album of hers though

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Oct 15 2023

If you like the blues this is probably pretty good. I couldn't get past the third song.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Oct 19 2023

Nice blend of Miles pushing the limits and then holding you softly.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Oct 20 2023

I only know of Kraftwerk from Big Black's cover of The Model and wasn't expecting to like this album as much as I did. The depth and complexities of sound hidden in the repetitive electronic beats is impressive.

Parklife by Blur
Oct 21 2023

Brit pop. not my thing, some catchy songs, a lot of filler.

Horses by Patti Smith
Oct 22 2023

Not my cup of tea but I did enjoy it more than I expected. I'd give it another half star if I could.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Oct 23 2023

There is nothing, and I mean nothing extraordinary about this album. uninspired Lo-fi indie distortion rock that meanders between annoying and almost good. There are one or two good songs, but the album as a whole I'd pass on.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Oct 24 2023

I like when the Stones go country. Some all time classics on this record.

Vespertine by Björk
Oct 25 2023

I used to listen to Selmasongs often and had no idea she was working on another album at the same time. It has similarities to Selmasongs, exploring themes of simplicity but with a quieter more intimate tone.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Oct 27 2023

The song Ray of Light is my guilty pleasure, it touches something inside of me that evokes more joy than a song should, especially from a genre one doesn't normally listen to. I hadn't heard the rest of the album before and although it doesn't hold up to the title track the electronic, dance, and ambient beats made for an enjoyable listening experience.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Oct 29 2023

OK, so here it is, the exact moment I realize that this isn't 1001 albums you need to hear before you die but instead some tasteless basement dweller's wet dream of a project. A chance to finally show the world what they're missing. A chance to dust off those CDs you've been carrying around in milk crates from one shitty failed relationship to another. fuck you. this album is another garbage album that someone bought in junior high back in the day when you spent $12 on a CD and of course you're going to listen to it until you like it, you just wasted $12, how could it not be good? it isn't.

Being There by Wilco
Nov 01 2023

wish you were here instead of me
