Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 10 2023

Not my style, a bit too repetitive; that being said, “where the buildings are old and you might have lots of mimes” is an all-time great lyric. Favorite song: North American Scum. 6/10

Revolver by Beatles
Oct 11 2023

Great album; a lot of very sold Beatles songs on here, with some of their quieter hits. Favorite song: Eleanor Rigby. 9/10

Oct 12 2023

Not a bad album, with some interesting experimental songs, but not to my taste. Carried mostly by the strong title song. Favorite song: The Village Green Preservation Society. 6/10

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 13 2023

Very enjoyable, but there wasn't enough variety for my taste. My favorite songs on the album were ones that did try something new. Favorite song: Disarm. 8/10

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Oct 16 2023

Interesting stuff musically, but not necessarily my thing. Still, there is some fun stuff in here like the mostly instrumental song. Favorite song: The Gash. 7/10

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 17 2023

Fun pop with some interesting electronic elements. Not my thing, but good for what it is. Favorite song: Hard Feelings/Loveless. 6/10

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Oct 18 2023

Right up my alley, a lot of good variety. Some slower songs with solid sounds (Everything Will Be Alright), as well as the more fast-paced stuff of their hits (Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me). Overall great to me specifically, though perhaps unpolished in places (which does fit their style anyway). Favorite song: Mr. Brightside. 8/10

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 19 2023

Incredible album, though it’s always hard to judge someone as great as Bruce Springsteen. That being said, some of the non-hits didn’t fully land with me, though they’re very good too. I did learn that I’m on Fire was him and not Elvis originally, as I always assumed. Favorite song: Born in the USA. 9/10

Slayed? by Slade
Oct 20 2023

Not really my thing. I can appreciate what they’re going for, but it just doesn’t really work for me. It sort of sounds like Led Zeppelin meets AC/DC with a sprinkling of honky tonk. Favorite song: gudbuy gudbuy. 4/10

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 23 2023

This style of rap/hip-hop is both outside my area of expertise and not to my taste. In my professional opinion as a white Mexican with no rhythm, the flows are not great. Favorite song: King Kunta. 3/10

Document by R.E.M.
Oct 24 2023

Very solid album, got a couple big hits of course. Appreciated a couple of the lesser played ones like “Exhuming McCarthy” and “King of Birds,” but you can’t beat the classics. Favorite song: The One I Love. 7/10

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Oct 25 2023

I can’t say I’m too familiar with bossanova as a genre, but this isn’t bad at all. Not really my thing in general though. Favorite song: Tanto Tempo (1st one?). 4/10

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 26 2023

Very good album for a band that I only know one song from. I like the style, both as a band and musically. Some of the songs are a bit too much rocking though without much going on. Favorite song: Cowboy Song. 7/10

Solid Air by John Martyn
Oct 27 2023

I was lulled into a false sense of security by the early folk/americana style, the funk caught me off guard. Very fun and interesting, though not quite enough to get me for the whole album. Favorite song: Don’t Want to Know. 6/10

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Nov 01 2023

Fill in soon. 5/10

Parklife by Blur
Nov 06 2023

Fill in soon. 5/10

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Nov 07 2023

8/10

Nov 15 2023

The Christian stuff was a bit icy for me, but I do like the sounds overall. You’re Still On My Mind, Pretty Boy Floyd, and One Hundred Years from Now were all very good in particular. Favorite song: You’re Still On My Mind. Rating: 6/10
