The Wall by Pink Floyd
Oct 09 2023

I just don’t really dig this band. 2/5

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 10 2023
25 by Adele
Oct 13 2023
Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Oct 16 2023

Pretty fun, a bit overproduced for my taste.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Nov 19 2023

Pretty good but feels kind of homogeneous - I get bored after a while

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Nov 19 2023

Billie is great, instrumentation is a little spare on this album

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 20 2023

Fantastic album! I knew Jimi was good but mostly only heard the radio hits. This is getting added to the rotation!

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Nov 21 2023

Better than I expected but I always wish these guys would just rock out more

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 22 2023

Grew up on this record, and then gained even greater appreciation after listening to the season of The Opus podcast about it.

Cut by The Slits
Nov 23 2023
Dust by Screaming Trees
Nov 24 2023

Quite good, got a little old after a while.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 26 2023

More listenable than I expected, but didn’t fully hold my attention.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Nov 27 2023

Not my style.

Nov 28 2023

Fantastic album! Even the lesser known tracks are total jams. This was one of the first hip hop albums I loved.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Nov 29 2023

Pretty good but didn’t totally grab me - I’d like this if it were 25% heavier maybe. I was hopeful because I know he has producer credit on a lot of cool albums, but this didn’t interest me enough to dig deeper.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Nov 30 2023

Love all the insane samples, lyrics are fun too.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Dec 01 2023

I checked this out from the library as a teenager, and recorded it to tape. In the end it’s not really my favorite music, but it’s pretty solid and nostalgic so it’s at the top end of 4 stars but doesn’t make it to 5.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Dec 02 2023

I should be able to appreciate this more but it’s just too bubble gum pop for me.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Dec 03 2023

I love the Pixies and some of Frank Black’s solo work. This one doesn’t really grab me - good but not great.
