Out of Step by Minor Threat

Nice to hear some more Punk music. Good album, doesn't overstay it's welcome as an EP. Always surprised to see this kind of music was a thing that early on.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 09 2023

I mean Riders On The Storm is a certified banger. The rest wasn't really my style, too much of the same doodly melodies of the 70s.The Blusie stuff is well done but not for me. Overall solid album but I fail to see what it brought to the table to make it one of the best.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Oct 10 2023

Yeah it's pretty good, I kinda want to give it 4 stars but I don't see myself listening to it again so 3 it is. Very groovy at times and emotional attitudes others.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 11 2023

I think there's a lot here, this has potential. Replace the singer with someone, who can actually sing and this might be a 4. But my god can Bob Dylan just not sing... Had to stop after 45 minutes, it's just too much.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Oct 12 2023

Very nice album, refreshing listen after the older stuff throughout the week. There's also a clear difference between Coldplay then and now. Even though I like their newer upbeat stuff, they absolutely nail the sad and dreary.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Oct 13 2023

I liked it, not a huge fan of the "newer" Iron Maiden albums but this one was very enjoyable. Not too over the top. All around very solid if a little too mundane.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 16 2023

Very nice, ended up listening to Strangelove a couple of times. The instrumentilisation of Depeche Mode is always so cool and ahead of it's time. Most tracks were good but not absolutely groundbreaking though. Overall great album.

All Directions by The Temptations
Oct 17 2023

Not really my thing. There's some good stuff here though. Just not my cup of tea.

Oct 18 2023

I don't know, why this is on here... I'll say it's not for me, but I genuinely don't know what would make this album special. I suppose it started a new genre? But even then it just seemed very very boring.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Oct 19 2023

Very weird album. I think I am lacking some context here, and maybe I would have rated it better if I had that context. Still the album grew on me throughout. It's interesting but hard to listen to.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Oct 20 2023

That was pretty good and I can see how this was very impactful at the time. Takes influences from a lot of great stuff and probably influenced other great artists aswell.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 23 2023

Actually really good. It grew on me a lot, especially the title track. I think that the Friday albums will always receive higher scores, as you have time to get used to them.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 24 2023

It wasn't bad or anything Rap is just not for me. However the older Rap and HipHop does have something cool about it and it sounds so much cleaner than the modern stuff. Interesting album, not my taste.

The Score by Fugees
Oct 25 2023

It's that one album! Genuinely surprised to see this many hits on a single album. Not my cup of tea but I see the strength in this record.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Oct 26 2023

Nice to hear some more Punk music. Good album, doesn't overstay it's welcome as an EP. Always surprised to see this kind of music was a thing that early on.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Oct 30 2023

I just think this kind of oldie rock 'n roll is boring. I don't know, what sets this record apart from all the other ones like it, same instrumentalisation, similar vocals.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 31 2023

Great album, starts to fall off around the halfway point. Still genre defining and incredibly interesting. Way ahead of it's time aswell.

Nov 01 2023

Genuinely great music. It's nothing I'd want to actively listen to but perfect for running in the background. This is a much better ambient album than that airport ambience one from last week. Still there are some weird/annoying parts in here, that I don't quite like.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Nov 02 2023

I don't know but I have to give it a 4/5 because it was pretty good.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Nov 06 2023

Not a huge fan of county but I don't mind this. It's definitely not something I'd listen to more but at least it's not as cringe as modern country music.

Nov 07 2023

Great album, definitely deserves it's praise. I just don't really feel the sad mojo right now and that is absolutely everything this album has to offer.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Nov 08 2023

Cool album. I like, that it plays around with feelings and genres, not getting stuck in one but always varying.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Nov 09 2023

Okay why is this special? I don't really like these kinds of vocals anyways but the album seems uninteresting no matter what.

Arular by M.I.A.
Nov 10 2023
Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Nov 13 2023

I don't know... It just doesn't feel interesting to me. I swear I have heard trscks like these before on here. It's more of the same. The technical execution is really good but I don't think that would be enough on it's own to make a really great album.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 14 2023

Pretty good and interesting. The technical execution could be improved here and there.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Nov 15 2023

I don't know seems like a random album, that made it's way in here.

I don't get it. Just because something is novel and not done before, doesn't make it artistically valuable. This does not add anything significant to music. It is an experimental album, not one of the greatest.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 20 2023

Quite chill, ain't it?

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 21 2023

There are some weird tracks in here and the rest are straight up amazing. Lose the weird and annoying and this would be a 5.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Nov 23 2023

Blues ain't ma thing. Okay I guess if you like blues

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Nov 24 2023

Great. Did not think it would be this good. But it genuinely is very good.

Garbage by Garbage
Nov 27 2023

Great album, has a couple of duds though. Overall very enjoyable.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Nov 28 2023

It's fine. Not a huge fan of Le Freak and it seems like background music to me. But It is alright.

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 29 2023

No.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 30 2023

I guess it's good background music. Wanted a bit more samba and a bit less jazz.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Dec 01 2023

I do enjoy classic hiphop.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 04 2023

Stop screaming, it's all going to be okay!
