Queen II by Queen
Oct 23 2023

Consistently enjoyable. Unmistakable Queen sound.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Oct 24 2023

Honest answer? Some interesting stuff but not my thing.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Oct 30 2023

Only on the second song but this is a banger already. Moving out, the stranger - both top tier.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 01 2023

Liked them generally a lot more than I expected. So far the criteria for a 5 us "did I like this as much as Billy Joel's the Stranger?" No, so 4.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 02 2023

I don't not like it. But I don't like it either.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 03 2023

Oh I already know I like this one. I owned this one. Nice trip down memory lane.

Da Capo by Love
Nov 08 2023

60s fun. Enjoyed it, but wasn't really hooked.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 10 2023

Not for me.

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 12 2023

I love new order. Great.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Nov 15 2023

A favorite. Five stars forever. Hits me right in that sweet spot.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Nov 20 2023

Blues. Fine. Not my thing.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Dec 07 2023

It grooves but didn't catch me.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Dec 14 2023

I liked this a lot more than I anticipated. Fun, sonically interesting, and it makes you think.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Dec 20 2023

Adjacent to so much I liked but there are only so many times I can hear "sucking on my ding dong." I hate this album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 21 2023

Liked it a lot. Not sure it's a repeat listen though.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 29 2024

A+++

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jul 03 2024

Really mellow and enjoyable. Familiar and different simultaneously.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jul 04 2024

Liked it more than I thought but still not really my thing.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 05 2024

Mellow and enjoyable but for me not too memorable.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 06 2024

A casualty of having been too popular when I was in college for me to take the time to listen to it, this album still somehow captures that exact feeling. Time in a bottle. The exuberance of youth and freedom in an hour or whatever. So good. Mad I didn't listen to it back then.

Tommy by The Who
Jul 11 2024
All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 15 2024

Some classics but ultimately didn't grab me.

Parklife by Blur
Sep 03 2024

Some good songs but honestly didn't grab me.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 24 2026

Not my fave but better than I anticipated.
