L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 24 2023

Very great for fall/autumn season. Songs I would include on a morning playlist or for a hammock on a crisp day

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Oct 25 2023

Okay for background music, wouldn’t be a go to if I was paying attention to the music

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Oct 27 2023

Never listened to this front to back before and it made me love the album even more

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 28 2023

Staple for a feel good playlist. A little hint of throwback which is nice

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Oct 29 2023

Really tried to give this a chance and yet only made it through 2 songs. I can normally stomach most albums but the lyrics were garbage and honestly the overall album felt like some teenager wrote it.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Oct 30 2023

Overall a good album! Nothing particularly special about it, but energy is good. I like the acoustic guitar in many of the songs and find that the music is pleasant, although sometimes it feels like the artists is singing in cursive (although that might be an accent, I haven’t done research)

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Oct 31 2023

Could see this being used in background music of an 80s coming of age film. Nothing particularly special, liked the electric guitar and use of cowbell. Nothing bad nothing exceptional!

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Nov 01 2023

One of my favorite artists from the 60s. I love much of his music. I will say that this album isn’t the best for everyday use, but an excellent add for intimate dinner nights and a relaxing cleaning Sunday. Parents used to sing me some lines off this album growing up. Album isn’t as good as some of his stand alone songs so leaving at 3

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 02 2023

A classic. Lyricism and tone remain on top. Sticking with a 4 because it’s not an album that I would personally listen to on repeat. However I understand why it makes the list.

Close To You by Carpenters
Nov 03 2023

Average album in my opinion. Very heartfelt and maybe that’s why I’m salty about it. Overall good just not something I would listen to again

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 05 2023

Probably the worst album yet. Experimental pop punk is not for me.

Nov 06 2023

Listening to this late. Could see this as a good sound track under a chase scene from cops in an 80s movie. Overall good for background music and time piece but not something I’d listen to for the music it’s self

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Nov 07 2023

Listening late. Not a big MJ fan.. but cannot dispute that his vocals are insane and the musicality are phenomenal. My issue comes from the songs being overplayed. Which often signifies success in the album. Even though I’ve taken these off my playlists in many cases I cannot dispute the impact they’ve made on society

Snivilisation by Orbital
Nov 08 2023

Normally love low fi music and it helps me focus but honestly couldn’t do it today. Might be the caffeine, but my anxiety was hightened listening to this album. Ultimately many of the notes put me on edge. I know that this is a me problem… but there’s just some lowfi/house music that sets my brain off this way. Not a big fan.

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 09 2023

A fantastic album in the realm of musicality. The bongos, synth and electric guitar make this not only something you could relax on a beach to but something to cure workday blues. This music can transport you to a peaceful realm, get you groovin as well as just motivate you through a day.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Nov 10 2023

Average album. Nothing special but not bad

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Nov 11 2023

One of the best albums. Lots of memories associated with this one

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Nov 12 2023

I like Foo Fighters but I clearly like their more popular songs. This album wasn’t my favorite

Nov 13 2023

I can get with this. Def not something I’d have on repeat but I vibe heavy. Would rather but at 3.5 but sticking to 3

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 14 2023

Not my favorite genre. I can appreciate Jumi Hendrix for his skill and the importance of his music but it’s not for me.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 15 2023

Not my favorite album. Good instrumental

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 16 2023

Not for me

Kenya by Machito
Nov 19 2023
Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 22 2023

I should also note that jagged little pill below was almost a 4 from me. This one is. I enjoy music with good musicality but more specifically a good horn section. Love this

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Nov 23 2023

I would be confused if a friend ever recommended I listen to this.. not a fan

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Nov 25 2023

Better than the last album of hers we reviewed

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Nov 26 2023

Nothing special but still decent music

Live! by Fela Kuti
Nov 29 2023
Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 04 2023

Giving mall music and not in a good way. The soundtrack that would send me into a spiral along with shitty perfume samples and bright lights

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Dec 07 2023
Manassas by Stephen Stills
Dec 11 2023
