The Doors by The Doors
Oct 24 2023

I enjoyed this! Very groovy, and Jim Morrison has a very distinctive voice. Especially loved the liberal use of funky keyboard. Favorite songs were Break on Through, Soul Kitchen, Back Door Man, and Take It as It Comes

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 25 2023

This album feels like a claustrophobic, experimental fever dream. I thought I loved Fleetwood Mac but maybe I just love Rumours. Some songs on this album are okay, but I ended up skipping the ends of a lot of them because they felt boring and same-y. I think this album still had a lot of elements that make Fleetwood Mac great, but it felt half-formed and needed a lot of songs edited out completely.

Revolver by Beatles
Oct 26 2023

It's solid. Not my favorite Beatles album, but it is enjoyable and contains Eleanor Rigby, so I can't complain too much.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Oct 27 2023

Solid but not mind-blowing. Graceland, You Can Call Me Al, Under African Skies, Homeless, and All Around the World are bops, but the rest of the album is kind of underwhelming to me and I find a lot of the songwriting to be sort of bland. That said, the presence of LBM on this album bumps it up a point for me.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 31 2023

I don't think this is my kind of music. I can appreciate how it's objectively good, and there were moments I enjoyed, but the whole thing seemed kind of melodramatic in an exhausting way, and no individual track really stood out to me.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Nov 01 2023

Fun guitar, interesting vocals, ROCK ORGAN.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Nov 03 2023

I really enjoy some of these songs, I really hate others. I think that balances out to about a 3.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Nov 08 2023

What a pleasant surprise! I love this. The only thing keeping it from a 5 for me is that some of the tracks have really similar sounds and kind of blend together, which makes it so that nothing in particular really stands out in a major way. But I really enjoy that sound, so I'm not mad about it.
