Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Oct 16 2023

- it's like spiritual, cinematic music, but the high moments on it aren't cool enough for me to sit through 10min songs for it - some of the moments are beautiful though - lord of the rings mountain vibes - fetus music!!! - yeah only a couple songs that have really cool moments

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 17 2023

- lots of interesting/weird sounds - in general I don’t like the moaning voice they use - songs don’t have a sense of direction/melody - usage of “boopy” technology sounds is cool - production is highlight I think, not many words - bpm is too low for me without other cool stuff going on - I did like pyramids song, and that it was sampled in let’s start here by yachty - it does just sound like b-sides from Kid A, which I don’t like either so - ok I admit there are at least a couple cool moments; trumpet and was cool - not enough for me to listen through the whole thing though

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Oct 18 2023

- I like thriller, beat it, and Billie Jean, but tbh this sound overall isn’t for me - didn’t realize that Kanye sampled PYT in Good Life

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 19 2023

- crusty and cringe - like I really don’t like the female vocalist - space invaders isn’t bad (when they don’t sing) - the hits on the album are more tolerable but still not that good - only parts I somewhat like are the instrumentals near the end of the song sometimes but they’re still mid, could probably find similar stuff with many other artists - 80s radio

Blackstar by David Bowie
Oct 20 2023

- I don’t think I can get past his moaning voice lol - he’s so off beat as well - instrumentation isn’t the greatest either - Lazarus is tolerable

Low by David Bowie
Oct 21 2023

- I think his music is just not it for me - sounds like beach music but he has an annoying voice - I saved ONE song that was decent just so I have a reference of David Bowie 💀 - instrumental sounds a bit like old nature documentary music - production isn’t horrible but once he opens his mouth it’s game over

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 22 2023

- didn’t realize Kendrick sampled the first song - melodies are nice and I like the acoustic production - not really my kind of music but I can see how others would like it - not quite groovy or interesting enough for me to listen to again

Elastica by Elastica
Oct 23 2023

- actually not bad, it’s like playful rock music - melodies aren’t anything crazy catchy for me though - some of the instrumentals are pretty decent but the songs don’t have progression and the singing is nothing great - stutter was my favorite song but still not good enough to save…

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Oct 24 2023

- instrumental not half bad, sort of calm - lyrics and melody nothing to write home about - almost like country, old American bar music - at least the songs are short - his voice is actually pretty annoying - American girl was the best song, at least the most memorable

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Oct 25 2023

- already listened to this album before, maybe not all the way through though - definitely got some rapping bangers, that I still listen to today - concept and skits paint a pretty good picture - some of the songs are so graphic I’d literally never listen to them though lol

Oct 26 2023

- is he just talking over the music? - sounds almost like a beer commercial - instrumental of the first two songs are actually good (guitar strumming mostly) - this is like straight up countryside music lol - i liked the cover of bridge over troubled water - not really a fan of the casual storytelling - not my vibe but I can respect it - interesting that he covers these folk songs

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 27 2023

- classic le sexy sex song - he has a good voice and instrumentation is nice - i wouldn't listen to any of these songs individually though - kanye spaceship sample on distant lover!! - i hate sex sounds in songs (you sure love to ball) and the song is way too long - totally not my style of listening music

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 28 2023

- tacky billy Joel - it’s almost boy band music - but I’m not against it, it’s catchy - some are annoying though - instrumentation is surprisingly enjoyable

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 29 2023

- jazzy, funky - his voice is pretty high but clear and nice - is it like a movie soundtrack? - tunes don’t have much direction, not memorable

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Oct 30 2023

- actually not bad, some songs I’d listen to again - reminds me of Billy Joel but more laid back and country - some jazzy/funky elements - I just realized, is this hippie music? No I guess not…

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Oct 31 2023

- finally something weird - instrumental, techno, robotic music, even machines singing - this is kinda trash though - some of the production isn’t bad but it’s goofy - better when he doesn’t “sing”…

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Nov 01 2023

- lighthearted rock music - I don’t like that it’s live - pretty boring in general tbh - I like and recognize baby I love your way - ok some songs have non boring parts

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Nov 02 2023

- industrial rock really is what it sounds like - a little too edgy for me - “god is dead” song - I can see why social conservatives didn’t like the lyrics lol - I’m not against some of it sonically but it’s not my cup of tea lyrically or the voice - it’s basically repeated whispering over a decent electronic rock beat - the becoming is the most decent song - why is the best instrumental muffled - didn’t realize Johnny cash was covering hurt in the previous album

Nov 03 2023

- this is literally goofy ah music - the weirdest mix of sounds and lyrics - regiment is literally a groovy beat with a croaning lady over it - it’s at least interesting to listen to - chaotic neutral

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 04 2023

- sounds like stereotypical rap music - its tricky is instantly recognizable - I get it was iconic and new for its time but this just sounds corny and ironic - interesting they made a whole song about adidas - is walk this way a cover or original? - for me this is just straight up bad… - the beatboxing is trash lollll
