Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 16 2023

Like! Feels old, but you can hear the ground zero of eighties music being built in there.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Oct 17 2023

Learnt some new stuff from this one (twist and shout wasn't written by The Beatles?! What?!), beautifully done.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 18 2023

Good album, needs relistening.

Synchronicity by The Police
Oct 20 2023

Weird iconic sound, Sting is king.

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 21 2023

Too much eighties and dancy.

Oct 22 2023

Amazing. The sound is astonishing, beautiful, clean and simple. A great listening and an excellent way to spend a cozy hour.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Oct 23 2023

Good album, a little too all the same-ish and homogeneous. Since exceptional songs (Changes).

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 24 2023

Boring. Not bad, the sound is solid, but the Israeli Witches did it better.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 25 2023

Not enough balance between noise and tenderness, but the noise is good.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Oct 26 2023

Boring. Drum machine shenanigans ain't enough to keep me engaged. A few good amd interesting moments save it from being a 1/5.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Oct 27 2023

Iconic, but the songs are too long, I'm not a lyrics person so this isn't my jam.

The Band by The Band
Oct 28 2023

Great album. Definitely worth many more listenings. All pure gems and an amazing gentle moving fun vibe.

Leftism by Leftfield
Oct 30 2023

Couldn't bring myself to finish this one. Not my kind is an understatement.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Nov 01 2023

Some really great songs, but others are mediocre.

Third by Portishead
Nov 02 2023

The album starts really good, the end is weaker, a good time overall, nothing blew my mind.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 03 2023

Good instrumental music, some very nice moments. Don't think I'll listen again though.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 04 2023

Great album, definitely would listen many more times. With 1-2 skips top, this is a 5.

GI by Germs
Nov 05 2023

Very rough and not very interesting.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Nov 06 2023

Not very good as an album, but some good songs in it. Nice slow eighties pop.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Nov 07 2023

In an aftermath it's not very clear why the left out paint it black on the UK release. Listened to the US release first.

Nov 08 2023

Some nice moments, not exciting overall. Not my type of noise.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 09 2023

Sounds like a degraded combo of Jonny Cash and Leonard Cohen.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Nov 10 2023

Big like, wild shortly listen again.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 12 2023

Noisy in a bad way and not engaging or interesting.

S&M by Metallica
Nov 13 2023

Great idea and great performance, but the live album is SO LONG.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Nov 15 2023

Great country, great voice. Very pleasant listening and a lot of potential for favorite songs.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 18 2023

Probably would have liked this much more a few years back

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 19 2023

Mediocre mostly, apart from a good vocal performance nothing interesting.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Nov 24 2023

Not as great as expected, feels like a little more of the same.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 25 2023

Might be good reggae, but I don't like it.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Nov 27 2023

To my non-lyrical mind this is very boring.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Nov 28 2023

Amazing that this came out when he was 21.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Nov 30 2023

Not my thing, and regardless much too long.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 01 2023

Quite unique solo guitar work.

Suicide by Suicide
Dec 03 2023

A few songs save it from a 1. Would never want to hear a man moans without any background or filters.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 04 2023

Not bad, not exceptional. Some nice pieces.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 05 2023

Might be an iconic soundtrack, but boring to listen to on its own.

Infected by The The
Dec 06 2023

Very interesting, would want to listen again.

Ramones by Ramones
Dec 07 2023

Sounds like a breakthrough work for its time, but hard to listen to today and sounds a little to all the same.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Dec 08 2023

Would definitely want to listen again.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Dec 11 2023

Good vibe, not many hits but good songs overall.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 21 2023

OK new rock, not very exciting.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Dec 22 2023

Too repetitive and long, couldn't get myself to finish.

Elastica by Elastica
Dec 29 2023

Nice to hear some female lead punk

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Dec 30 2023

Great inspiration, huge potential for favorites.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Dec 31 2023

Great guitars work, many favorites.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 01 2024

Many favorites, a few masterpieces.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jan 03 2024

Many rock highlights and hits, very fun.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Apr 08 2024

Not exactly my style but very good.

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 09 2024

Great stuff.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jun 24 2024

Nice album, good vibes, but lyrics I can't understand is difficult.
