Had never listened. Loved this album.

1-Star Albums (2)

All Ratings (186)

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 22 2023
Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Oct 24 2023

One of the best Bossa albums for sure

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Oct 29 2023

Eclectic

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 30 2023
Tommy by The Who
Oct 31 2023

I mean Tommy can be meandering but I do like it a lot

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Nov 02 2023

Definitely not something I wanted to hear in the beginning. I liked it much better as it progressed. Good use of percussive elements and recording techniques that were more experimental. Enjoyed song structures.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 03 2023

It needed in my opinion more of the Classic Doors sound. While I understand it’s important comeback history and the time period I find myself wondering why this album is celebrated. It’s fine to me.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 05 2023

I can appreciate shoegaze now. But maybe it was the speakers but the noise overwhelmed the music. Good ideas but prototypes of the effective genre in my opinion

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Nov 06 2023

I mean. I expected better? Much of the music seemed to be made to be shocking and evocative. Artistically this is great and perhaps necessary. Personally it’s a bit thin. Enjoyable? No.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 07 2023

Honestly better than I was expecting. Pre punk rock and it shows. Great diversity and I dig the fun aspect of the songs

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 08 2023

Very surprised at how much I liked this album. Lots of depth and a sense of real diversity between the songs. And see how this was groundbreaking. Great job with the use of subtler elements of songwriting stacked

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Nov 09 2023

Nothing really wrong with this album. Will listen to it again. Enjoyed the live aspect. Love how much soul there is in the performance

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Nov 10 2023

I really enjoyed how diverse the sound was considering the limited instrumentation. Can really see where Matchbox 20, The Cure, and others were able to derive a clean but darker sound. Kept me interested.

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 11 2023

Way more consistent than I remember. Well written with a diverse sound. Very happy to hear that it’s still a relevant album and sound.

Faust IV by Faust
Nov 12 2023

It was fine. It had good and bad parts.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Nov 13 2023

Surprisingly loved it

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Nov 14 2023

Indeed incredible harmonies and writing. Will listen again

Dust by Screaming Trees
Nov 15 2023

Had never listened. Loved this album.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 16 2023

Honestly I’ve never listened all the way through. I thought it was better than I expected! Loved some of the silliness mixed with deeper messaging

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Nov 17 2023

Now this is the industrial sound I wanted. Almost a five honestly. Rex it basically wrote the genre here in my opinion. Very good and dynamic

Metallica by Metallica
Nov 18 2023

Man this is way better than I thought. I made fun of it a lot but it really solid.

Nov 19 2023

It was better than I thought. It was not something I’d listen to again that easily but it was an enjoyable listen. His voice grates.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Nov 20 2023

Can see why it’s loved. Lively and full of different ideas. Great listen

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 21 2023

Nothing wrong with it. Glad I listened. But also nothing that stuck out to me??

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Nov 22 2023

Honestly I was astounded at the soul of it all

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Nov 23 2023

Truly painful to listen through. Fuck this singer

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Nov 24 2023

Though it was acoustic I really enjoyed this album. Honestly it was just long enough

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Nov 25 2023

Just holds up. Very good rap about hard living. Can see how it inspired generations

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 26 2023

Man this was really good. Almost a five. I enjoyed the diversity of the album but I could not find something to tie it together. Still. A very good listen.

So by Peter Gabriel
Nov 27 2023

Wow. I love Peter Gabriel but. This album fell off hard as it went on.

Nov 28 2023

Once again I like the Talking Heads but it just. Started to sound like noise? And it was music but I just didnt connect with it. Don’t get me wrong it’s good but it’s also sort of samey

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Dec 01 2023

I like it. I think jam bands have their place and I’m glad to hear good call and response in the recording

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 02 2023

Surprised at how strangely nothing this was? Not bad but not great either

Dec 03 2023

Very sweet and cool to hear his development. Lots of different sounds here.

B-52's by The B-52's
Dec 04 2023

Really good but also strange

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 05 2023

Very good. Love the mix of styles. Wonderful harmonies

Dec 06 2023

Very very good. Not the best Yes album but still wonderful

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Dec 10 2023

Man this was a bop for how long it was

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Dec 12 2023

So much better than I’d expected. I can see why she’s so loved. Love the classical influence

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Dec 13 2023

Had never listened. Updated reggae derived music is incredible. I thought this was wonderful.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Dec 14 2023

Incredible album. Seriously one of the best constructions. Great diversity of sound, wonderful recordings, good structures, and under 45 minutes

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Dec 16 2023

One of the best 90s rap albums. It holds up super well. Enjoy the realism of it mixed with the great production

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Dec 17 2023
The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Dec 20 2023

Wait this was excellent. Loved the blending of electronic and pop with classic pieces. Wonderfully composed.

Purple Rain by Prince
Dec 21 2023

I mean it’s just excellent. Soothing sonic qualities. I really love how well composed it all is as well as the compelling lyrics

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Dec 23 2023

Uh this is the best Metallica album. I mean it just hits in every possible way

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Dec 27 2023

Was astounded at the growth. Didn’t know the album, walked away with new respect for funky soul

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Dec 28 2023

Nothing wrong with the album. It’s fine. But it’s nebulous.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 30 2023

This is recorded much better than I’d expected. Great fusion of funk and jazz. Had never heard of it before but was surprised at how thoughtfully composed it was

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jan 01 2024
War by U2
Jan 02 2024

It’s a good album again how much I hate Bono. Honestly it’s well put together and only like two songs aren’t worth listening.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jan 04 2024

So different from other LZ albums. Love the focus on acoustic qualities. Almost sounds live. Diversifies their sound.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jan 05 2024

Just way better than it had any right to be to use a JS quote

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 07 2024

There have been a lot of fours lately because all of the albums have been good. Iggy did a good job here. I liked the album. It also doesn’t change my life but it’s just really solid.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 08 2024

It’s spiritual and thoughtful. It it’s also repetitive. Good instrumentation.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 09 2024

The better Joy Division album. Love how it sounds and better writing in my opinion.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jan 10 2024

Nothing was bad but it was strange. I don’t know. Meta music?? I don’t get it.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 11 2024

Man this was such a good album. Loved the Brazilian bit. The perfect balance of groove metal and Nu metal.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 12 2024

Not bad but difficult to finish. Didn’t develop nearly as much as I’d hoped. Don’t understand the significance. Not bad but no songs I’d seek out again. Disappointing to be bored.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 13 2024

Just a monumental album. Every song is good. It’s melodic and light hearted. Poetic. Love his way of expressing emotion through sonic quality.

Green by R.E.M.
Jan 14 2024
Jan 15 2024

Not bad. Really. But many repeating and short songs. It felt full of the same stuff. 15 songs in like 42 minutes. Less development than I would personally like

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 16 2024

No one should be surprised. Excellent album. One of the best. Cornell is a good writer and the meter changes are just great.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 17 2024

Gosh this week is bangers. It’s CCR. Every song swings hard.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jan 19 2024

This was really good. I’m Not sure it’s a five. But I know I’ll listen again and it broadened my taste. Great mixture of flamenco w European styles.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 20 2024

For its time it’s recorded superbly. You can hardly tell it’s live. For 57 this is unbelievable. Great writing and singing and does the job of anachronistic time travel

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jan 21 2024

After long thinking I felt like this album isn’t the slipknot they would become. It’s very good but for me it’s just not developed into the sound I love.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Jan 22 2024

Quite enjoyable. Better than i thought. I believe that it was almost a four but was quite repetitive

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jan 23 2024

The singles were great. Some of the other really felt like filler to me

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jan 25 2024

It was fine. I thought it would better but it became a safer album as it went.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 26 2024

Way better than I thought. Gotta listen to more willie. This was incredible.

Jan 29 2024

It’s not personal. I just really didn’t feel like most of the songs. They were fine I guess.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 30 2024

This was really good. It’s REM but this was more early era. I thought it was excellent.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 31 2024

Tbh it was a good album. Wonderful voice and loved the composition. Can’t believe a lot of it was live

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 01 2024

It was good. Better than i expected. Good alt music.

1999 by Prince
Feb 03 2024

Very good album. Driving beat and fun contrast and real and electronic instrumental. Prince knows how to have fun and write.

Night Life by Ray Price
Feb 05 2024

It was good but it was so repetitive

Feb 06 2024

I’ll pull some songs from it. It definitely aged well and has some bangers but also some snoozers.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Feb 07 2024

Honestly even though it was a lesson I really enjoyed it.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Feb 08 2024

It drones on honestly. Like it’s good but also rough.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 09 2024

Still a very good album. Steely Dan just kills in their ability to write

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 10 2024

It’s a landmark for punk. But it’s also repetitive in a way I’m just not too into.

Diamond Life by Sade
Feb 11 2024

I was surprised but I’ll be playlisting these

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 12 2024

Not the best BK album but well written.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Feb 13 2024

It’s repeated in almost every song but so historically important.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Feb 15 2024

It was good. No songs I’d listen to again but beautiful as well.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 17 2024

It was good. No songs I’d listen to again but beautiful as well.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Feb 19 2024

Eh. It just kinda kept going.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Feb 20 2024

Live albums. They’re good. But this one was rough.

Feb 21 2024

Honestly it was repetitive

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

Had never heard of this album and really loved it. Wonderful writing.

Significantly better than I’d expected. Will playlist some.

Tina just kills. Had never heard the album. It’s so consistent.

Truthfully one of the better albums these last few weeks. Incredible.

Never had listened to it. Very good and consistent. Defining for the genre

Mar 07 2024
Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 09 2024

Still CCR managed to make every song good. I have no idea how.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Mar 10 2024

Honestly while I like Jones the album somehow felt repetitive in its short expression

D by White Denim
Mar 11 2024

Man this was actually good. Hayley and I were jamming most of the time. May listen again. Good variety.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Mar 12 2024

Nothing I say can add to a Beatles convo

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Mar 19 2024

Actually very good. Loved the Cuban inspired progressions. Classy guitar lines and good shift in tone

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 20 2024

This aged so much better than I’d expected. Excellent album.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Mar 25 2024

Better than I’d expected. Really loved the layering of vocals.

It was a good album! Political but warm. Good hip hop overall. Wonderful production

Mar 30 2024

Aggressively mid. Could be better. Keeps going.

Fuck this album and especially fuck the guitarist

Great live album

Apr 08 2024

Apr 09 2024

Legitimately good album but not what I was hoping for. A bit Samey. Still rather good

Apr 12 2024

One of the better Beatles albums. Not much wrong with it and a cultural touchpoint.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 13 2024
John Prine by John Prine
Apr 18 2024

Way way better than any other album I’ve heard recently

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Apr 25 2024

Way better than I’d thought. Great songwriter. Varied approach to songs.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 28 2024

A solid 80s bop with the sad dad as the frontman. Loved it.

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 01 2024

Still good but not as good as I remember.

I Against I by Bad Brains
May 02 2024

I was so surprised. Best new album so far. Incredible.

Hotel California by Eagles
May 06 2024

I can tell why it’s a classic. Some of it is just excellent.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 07 2024

She’s just the best

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
May 08 2024

Just a monster album released on his deathbed. Almost transcendent in his messaging and writing

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
May 09 2024

Reggae just isn’t in the cards for me I guess

Medúlla by Björk
May 13 2024

Strange and ethereal. Probably won’t listen again but it was worth the listen.

May 14 2024

Just nothing wrong really with this album.

Honestly an innovative and well written album. Great voice and writing though sometimes with fluff
