Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

4/5

Wow i really liked this. The strings were magnificent - I felt as though I were transported to another era, Paris in the 60s, traipsing around the Latin quarter w my bohemian friends discussing the revolution, love, and the modern novel. Classy album, sometimes there would be some weird sounds in the middle of songs that I was not a fan of.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

Amazing iconic stellar legendary

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

2/5

This album dragged on for me. I loved the soft shoegaze guitars, but found the vocals quite grating. Not something I would listen to on my own. But there are a couple tracks here and there that rock, like ‘alright’ and ‘game of pricks’. Many of the tracks’ Melodies reminded me of Beatles tunes.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Great folk album.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

4/5

Really loved this record. Love the electric soundscapes composed to glitches, loops, and shreds. I really felt like this one took me on a journey.

Disintegration

The Cure

4/5

I mean goddamn… I had listened to this album before and thought it was really good, but listening again I realize just how truly epic this thing is. Such an amazing sonic experience. It’s like darkness & pop & melodrama & and searing heights of emotion & cool musical textures.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

2/5

Some tracks on here that were alright, but mainly was bored by this record. Didn’t dig the mash up of blues rock and tame acid house.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

4/5

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Funky groovy soulful - loved the production on this thing

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

Did not f w this at all. I like some of the tracks on here like well I wonder, but most of it is just grating instrumentals and annoying vocals from morrisey. Wish this had been another smiths albums.

Heroes

David Bowie

5/5

First time listening to heroes - now possibly my favorite of bowie’s albums. So much to love here, from the glitch-possessed guitar solo in the opening track, that awesome droning melody in the title track, and the ambient dreamscape of the second half. I really really loved this record, what an artist!!!

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Gna be listening to this one againx2 for a while after.

Dookie

Some very cool mix of genres. Running late to work I felt like I was a desperado -

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

3/5

Love the landscapes that this album conjures up, I love that bass that runs through the album like a river. Love how fully realized of an album this is. I didn’t always love the lyrics though.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

Common

5/5

Can’t believe I hadn’t heard this before! Dug the entire production of the thing, common’s lyricism, and the message of a lot of these tracks.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

1/5

Not gna rate this one cuz it’s out of my wheelhouse - really not my type of music. Didn’t really fuck with it, but I can see how other blokes might. Big shrug from me - Boring asf

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

One of my favorite albums ever. Listening to this album yesterday was a good reminder that there’s a reason why dylan is considered the best songwriter ever, and it’s not even close tbh. So many bangers on here; it’s alright ma (“it’s life and life only”), baby blue (“strike another match go start anew”), Maggie’s farm, bob Dylan’s 115th blues, and of course, mr tambourine man (“to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free/ silhouetted by the sea/ circled by the circus sands / with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves / let me forget about today until tomorrow” - I mean cmon, that’s some of the most beautiful lyrics I’ve ever heard) & I could go on. Must’ve been crazy to listen to this when it first dropped. I’m not such a fan of gates of Eden, but still a great song admittedly. Still think I like highway 61 revisited or time out of mind more, but this is definitely in top 5 Dylan albums for me.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

2/5

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

4/5

I loved this album. The discordant guitars really speak to my soul somehow, I love how noisy yet beautiful it is. Fave tracks: the sprawl, Eric’s trip, & candle. These guys rule. Only reason why four stars is because I think it’s a bit long for my taste.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

1/5

Appreciated some of the psychedelic touches, but mainly a pretty flat album

Roots

Sepultura

2/5

Although I’m not a fan of this kind of metal with the screaming, harsh voices, it was cool to hear some Brazilian-Caribbean rhythms infused into the metal genre. Also the instrumentals honestly rock

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Good god i love Jimi Hendrix. For some reasons didn’t think I liked this album as much as electric ladyland, but damn!!!! This is an absolute classic! So many bangers on here. I love the fuzzy distortion of his guitar and the masterly control he has over it. His lyricism is also wonderful especially on songs like “may this be love” and “the wind cries Mary”. I love the sci fi, jazz/electric blues fusion jimi achieves on this - standout tracks are love or confusion, remember, fire, and i don’t live today. Also, the drumming by Mitch mitchell is so fkn good.

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

3/5

Just some great riffs - really surprised by how much I liked this record. Rock n roll is so back baby

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

A lot of cool concepts in this and interesting sounds, but ultimately not for me.

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

So many goated songs on here - but “when I kissed the teacher” and “happy hawaii” (seriously wtf was that song) keep it from being a 5. But most of these songs are very special, and i really loved the title track, which I hadn’t heard before.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Damn this really is one of the greatest albums of all time. The last recorded Beatles album, where Paul convinced the band to record an album like they did in the old days, with George Martin at the wheel. Culminates in some of the best songs in their whole catalog, assembled in a cohesive and flowing way. My favorites on this are “something”, “oh darling”, and the whole last suite. The only song that I’m kind of skeptical of is Maxwell, but even that is produced very nicely and fits the vibe of the album. Might be my favorite album of theirs. Throwback to when I had a poster of abbey road in hs

New York Dolls

3/5

Cool album, cool dudes, and I’m very glad I listened to it. But it did feel a little bit like second-rate Stones to me.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

3/5

Pearl

Janis Joplin

5/5

Legendary artist, one of my favorites to ever do it. This was the last recorded album of hers before she died, and on the song “Buried Alive in the Blues” there’s no vocal track. My favorites on here include “A woman left lonely” and “get it while you can”. Her rendition of “me and Bobby mcgee” is one of the all time great rock n roll songs.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Pretty great album. Am I becoming a steely Dan fan???

The Velvet Underground

3/5

I think this album is pretty good, but not that a lot of the songs are kind of repetitive and boring to me. Lou reed needed John Cale what can I say

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Love this album but maybe it’s a bit long imo. Maybe that’s what makes it legendary. Faves: “stuck inside of mobile” & “visions of Johanna”
