Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 19 2025

It was fine. It didn't really capture my imaginatoin.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
May 20 2025

It had its moments. I didn't need to be lectured about gentrification, though.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
May 21 2025

Solsbury Hill is fine, but otherwise this isn't the most exciting album.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 22 2025

This was definitely a rock album released in the mid 80s.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
May 23 2025

Normally a fully instrumental album would get an automatic one star, but this has the poltergeist theme.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 24 2025

This was boring.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
May 25 2025

I like Irish folk music in theory, but a whole album of it gets boring.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
May 28 2025

This is a boring album and a slog to get through. The Flaming Lips are a bit too precious.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 29 2025

Sonic Youth were always a band on the peripheral of my listening. They're good and raw, but this album is too long. If it were more focused I could give it four or five stars.

The second half is much better than the first half, but that's because he had The Band backing him. I'm always 50/50 on live albums, but this was fine.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jun 02 2025

This is a beautiful album and worth it for just Captain's Table.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 03 2025

This is Van Halen's Second best album after Diver Down and has Ice Cream Man which is enough to give it five stars.

Medúlla by Björk
Jun 06 2025

If we're being honest, Bjork is boring and too weird 95% of the time. When she nails it, she nails it, but this album isn't it.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 07 2025

This was pretty good, if a little rough, but it's the beginning! Busted!

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jun 08 2025

I wouldn't have necessarily been bored if I had attended this concert live, but it's pretty forgettable other than the wah wah parts on the guitar.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jun 09 2025

Perfectly acceptable dark wave.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 12 2025

This album has too much content and should just be Red Rain, Sledgehammer and Big Time.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

This was fine, but the Beach Boys are overrated.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2025

Boring.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 16 2025

This is the best album of the 90s.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jun 18 2025

This wasn't good.

Sea Change by Beck
Jun 19 2025

This album was beautiful but not as much fun as Odelay.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jun 20 2025

Perfectly cromulent midlevel Aerosmith.
