Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 23 2023

Obwohl das Album monoton klingt, kann ich keinen richtigen „Albumfluss“ raushören. Hört sich überwiegend an wie Tankstellenmusik, aber gute Tankstellenmusik. Lindsey Buckingham hat eine geile Stimme. Songs, die es in meine Mediathek geschafft haben: - That‘s All For Everyone (hätte ein gutes Outro sein können) - Sisters of the Moon (sehr gut) Sind zwar 3 Sterne, für mich aber eig eher was zwischen 2 und 3 Sternen.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Oct 25 2023

Bin eigentlich kein Fan des Genres, aber trotzdem hat es mir gefallen. Gefühlt wäre 4 Sterne aber zu viel, also bleibt es wieder bei 3

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 26 2023

I encountered the song of the same name for the first time over 10 years ago on YouTube, when it was put under Charlie Chaplin's final speech as The Great Dictator. It took me a while to find the video again (https://youtu.be/zIBEDsKeTCo?si=I6a2xAxBz_CVWL-1, not even 1000 views lol) - if someone hasn't heard the speech, it's definitely worth a listen, but off-topic. The opening track is just unbelievably powerful, instant five. George Clinton apparently told Eddie Hazel to play the guitar in the first half as if he had just found out that his mother had died, and in the second as if he had just found out that she was still alive. I think you can hear the emotions (and the acid even more so) come through. Bombe! Anyone who's into long guitar solos might also want to check out Estas Tonne. I have to admit, I couldn’t get past the first song, since I listened to it so often.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 27 2023

Musik gut, Stimme Katastrophe

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 07 2023

An album I‘ve listened to several times in the past, really like Kiwanukas Style, I feel like the album has a recognizable character

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 08 2023

Liebe Bob Marley, aber finde nicht alle Lieder auf dem Album sind so stark wie No Woman No Cry

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Nov 09 2023

Unfortunately the only country music I can listen to is in opening scenes of horror movies.

The Visitors by ABBA
Nov 10 2023

Although I've never listened the album directly, every song seemed familiar. Underlines the impact they had on the pop genre. Good songs, although nothing I will listen to frequently I think.

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 14 2023

Very fun to listen to

Nov 15 2023

Tried really hard to find something good to say about this album, but it seems like they just discovered the concept of sampling other music. Any kid in the 80's/90's with a MPC does this in a more complex manner though. 2 stars for the choice of the samples, but thats about it

Solid Air by John Martyn
Nov 17 2023

Really liked it, Solid Air is a solid song

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 21 2023

Actually my least favorite album of K. But it gave him the mainstream acceptance, Section 80 is a much better album tho. His last ist great too

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Nov 22 2023

Her voice irks me. But I like Stephen Marleys feature

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 28 2023

I know he is supposed to be one of the rock goats but only the last 2-3 songs of the album were kiiiiinda songs I‘d maybeeee listen again in the far future

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Nov 29 2023

Sounds like AI generated metal music, but shittier

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Nov 30 2023

Openinh track is great, rest of the album is rather tiresome

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 01 2023
Illmatic by Nas
Dec 15 2023

One of the all time classics
