Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Oct 06 2023

a lot of deep tracks from Elton i was unaware of. Heard tiny dancer many times, but Levon right after was awesome. self titled song was great. surprised to hear indian sunset and hear the original song that 2pac sampled on Ghetto gospel. overall great start to the 1001 album endeavor.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Oct 07 2023

classic bob dylan. Tangled up in blue is one of my favs for a long time.

1984 by Van Halen
Oct 10 2023

classic jams. hot for teacher #1 VH song

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Oct 11 2023

i know the first and last tracks on this one but none in between. busy tuesday so this will be nice. country honk was a fun version

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 12 2023

Ive heard a bit of depeche mode but i dont recognize any of these songs. should be a good one. My local radio station has been shilling them for a long time which has gotten annoying. keeping an open mind. its rainy today so this album is hittin different. first song was enjoyable. October+rain makes this album in good timing. Track 1 and track 3 are ones ive heard a handful of times. Album was too long

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Oct 13 2023

I didnt hate it but i didnt enjoy any of it. wouldnt listen again. sadge. not on this album but 'walk on the wild side' is an annoying song to me. love sweet jane though

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 14 2023

Nice tunes

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Oct 15 2023

i think 3 stars is good. would listen again. very chill

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Oct 17 2023

Heard of em but never listened. Monday morning enjoyed it.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Oct 18 2023

sweet. this will spark my yearly obsession with van morrison again. love the guy some good chunes on this one but i rarely go back and listen to songs that are longer than 5 minutes long.

Queen II by Queen
Oct 21 2023

i dont recognize a single song on this. brian may is a legend 'Nevermore' is my favorite so far. track 8/11 deep tracks on this album for me and they were all fine. nothing has stood out much.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Oct 25 2023

the only tune i know by Belle & Sebastion is 'expectations' and its enjoyable. 4 tracks in and im impressed. I had no idea this was late '90s tunes. sweet. nvm ive heard 'get me away from here, im dyin'. I think its from Juno. Great film

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 26 2023

no clue what im getting into here. Lets do this i have a sinus infection and this made it worse. did not finish. first 1 star review coming up

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Oct 27 2023

this is a banger of a debut album. good shite

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 28 2023

Very enjoyable and guaranteed to put you in a good mood.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Oct 30 2023

I like the style of music. I would like this more if it was a 30 minute album and not a 1hr album. I can only handle so much. Each song seemed to be too long. Archives of pain - bass line was real nice. 6 songs in and the music is growing on me. definitely need to be in the mood and not at work on a tuesday morning. alright it was pretty good. love this challenge and getting introduced to bands and artists ive never heard of.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Nov 01 2023

Hell ya good shit here. gumbo ya ya and mama roux are so sick. Kinda reminds of 'spill the wine' song. love that one

GI by Germs
Nov 02 2023

fast paced and unable to understand the lyrics. love it. feel like 2 stars is too low and 3 is slightly too high. im gonna go with 3 because of the 20 albums ive reviewed so far this one is more memorable.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 04 2023

Im a casual talking heads enjoyer. I dont recognize any songs on this album but im sure they are all delightful

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 07 2023

dont even need to listen. its 5 stars

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Nov 08 2023

seems way ahead of his/its time.never heard of this guy but this was a pleasant listen.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 11 2023

this is a 5 star album for me ez

Protection by Massive Attack
Nov 29 2023

cool production but all the lyrics and vocals did not tickle my pickle. would give 3 stars if it was instrumental. 2 stars is the best i can do

More Specials by The Specials
Nov 30 2023

I liked it. Never heard of this band but it tickled my fancy. gg

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Dec 05 2023

ive listened to this at least 100 times. whats 1 more

C'est Chic by CHIC
Dec 06 2023

basslines that will get you bricked up

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Dec 12 2023

Listen to this one to turn your bad days around. Listen on your good days to make them even better.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 19 2023

Good listen for whatever you find yourself getting in to

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Dec 23 2023

never heard of these guys and immediately heard alex turner. great album. listened to it while i walked my pooch

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jan 04 2024

beegee deep tracks. was not a fan. but it wasnt terrible imo

2112 by Rush
Jan 05 2024

besides the opening song the remaining songs were not memorable imo

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 09 2024

First listen seemed like a for sure 5 star rating. Second listen confirmed it. 5 stars. fantastic. East St. Louis Toodle-oo was so great

Odelay by Beck
Jan 12 2024

I was torn betwen 2 and 3 stars. It wasnt a bad record by any means at all but im not going to go back and listen to it.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 13 2024

jeff buckley was not at all who i thought he was. Tragic story. Good album. rip

Elastica by Elastica
Jan 19 2024

pretty cool. listened in my car and it seemed like the vocals were too quiet.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 23 2024

liked it more than their banana album but still not my thing. the only thing making it enjoyable to me is the fact that it released in 1969

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Jan 24 2024

cant give a good review bc i had to listen to it on youtube and it was not a good experience

Low by David Bowie
Jan 31 2024

so far i dont think its very exciting. halfway through. some cool sounds but thats pretty much all it is.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Feb 03 2024

ive passively listened to this full album maybe 10 or so times while doing chores around the house.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 06 2024

great stuff. especially on a rainy day

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Feb 07 2024

Ive never purposefully listened to megadeth. I thought it was a good listen with interesting riffs and some odd time signatures here and there. The opening song was like 3 songs in one. Hangar 18 was probably my favorite and Lucretia right after that. Dave mustaine and Nick menza are a great duo

Snivilisation by Orbital
Feb 08 2024

Before I listen: I've never heard of this group and have no clue what to expect. I see that its 1hr20min in duration. Could be in for a good time or a bad time. Its rainy and slow day at work so ill listen while I do some cleaning and organizing. Released in 1993 is insane. They were ahead of their time. I have been an electronic music enjoyer for about a decade. Daft Punk is my #1 artist of all time and I also enjoy Mezerg. I believe the two groups drew a lot of inspiration from Snivilisation. I love that this album is included in the 1001 albums to listen to before i die.

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 13 2024

i didnt listen but ive listened 1000000 times

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Feb 14 2024

I still like it just as much as i did when I was in 5th grade in 2005.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 15 2024

2 hours. rough. not exactly background noise that i enjoy either. Wasnt awful but i was not a fan.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 17 2024

solid stuff right here

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Feb 21 2024

Halfway through and there hasnt been any song that I didnt like. Very chill and easy to listen to. Talented artist. Pissing in the wind was funny

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 27 2024

it was fine but it was boring. Figure 8 album was yugely better

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Feb 29 2024

listened to this 100000 times now

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Mar 01 2024

I started this album while I was on my way to the dmv, so my morale was very low. This album made my morning so much better despite the other thigns going on. Very influential too. Its almost a 5 star album but for me its not that replayable unless im in the mood for it, which doesnt seem like it would be often.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 02 2024

Nice stuff

Mar 07 2024

Good album but not my taste. Listened to it while waking my dog so prob not rhe best environment
