Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Oct 25 2023

Some catchy funk/groovy music - some nonsense sounds. Honestly don't know how I feel about the album.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 28 2023

Was really disappointed by the eponymous track “Station to Station” for being repetitive. Then “Golden Years” hit followed by “Word on a wing” and “TVC15” and the album got going. Rockin, catchy, the thin white duke on display. Great moments on this album are bookended by overly repetitive riffs and added musical effects. Enjoyed but no intention on relistening later.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 29 2023

The punk? rock of Sonic Youth was just what I needed during a cold, rainy slow day. Nothing fancy but conveying a lot of energy and feeling through the songs. I enjoyed it, I felt like I was kept company by the band.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 30 2023
Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 01 2023

Enjoying the vibes. Not an all the time album - but certainly when you want to relax.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Nov 03 2023

R&B or soul music or whatever you call it - it’s Marvin Gaye.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Nov 04 2023

Moody, rhythmic, haunting. It’s a good album but apart from Personal Jesus nothing resonated with me strongly.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Nov 05 2023

I thought it was alright- some of the melodies are kind of basic, the lyrics are predictable but there are some good songs like “Wildflowers”. Not what I usually listen to but I enjoyed it alright.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 07 2023

You definitely need to be in the mood for shoe gaze but apparently I was. Nothing stood out but it seemed to fit the feelings I was having at the time.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Nov 08 2023

Just rocks. Photograph, Rock of Ages, Foolin, and Too Late for Love make this album great. Try listening to the opening riff of Too Late for Love.

D by White Denim
Nov 09 2023

Never heard of the album before - thought it weird it was on the list. But wasn’t bad, sort of like indie funk. A little too Muzak for me but a few songs I might put on a mindless playlist. 3 stars.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Nov 10 2023

Experimental rhythmic music with a lot of yelling. 2 Stars.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Nov 11 2023

It’s Bob Dylan. Folk-y, very stylized.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 12 2023

Weird almost tribal metal but German.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Nov 13 2023

Very raw, just haphazard- no hint they’ll be any good later.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Nov 15 2023

Interesting. Weird cover of Jumpin' Jack Flash but also some original indian style almost psychedelic music. Felt stuff listening to it but wouldn't really listen again.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Nov 20 2023

Classic - folky and poignant.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Nov 21 2023

Almost like a proto lesser version of Thriller. Some hits, lots of misses.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Nov 23 2023

Did not like. Like experimental but also early british pop music. Did not like.

Nov 24 2023

Where did our love go/tainted love are their most well known songs - but they've got some like 80s dark disco songs on this album that are good.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Nov 25 2023

Really enjoyed it even though its feels like the muzak version of depressing shoegaze indie rock. Very good to listen too while doing other things - and I mean that as a compliment.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Dec 01 2023

0 stars. Hated it. Like the soundtrack to a bad local super religious play. This album was so bad I'm not going to give any other albums the benefit of the doubt and will start skipping albums as needed.

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 02 2023

It’s ABBA. Catchy bubblegum pop. 3 stars

Dec 04 2023

Like Sam Cooke a lot. Liked the energy but Sam Cooke sounded hoarse or the recording was bad.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Dec 06 2023

Drive me crazy and baby one more time are bangers. Rest of album feels dated and forgettable.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Dec 07 2023

experimental instrumental. meh.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Dec 08 2023

Folky country accoustic music. Did not enjoy much.

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 09 2023

I know it's a classic but just seems like generic metal nowadays.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Dec 10 2023

skits on rap albums are classic but you should be able to skip. some raps are meh, some are hits.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Dec 11 2023

Hits the sweet spot of good rap songs + sampling.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Dec 12 2023

I like Coconut Records which are obvious inspired by Elliott Smith. Smith not too much.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Dec 13 2023
