D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

All Ratings

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

2/5

That was a long 57 minutes. I fondly remember the hits from this album when I was a kid. A few of the tracks were popular. Not really my thing nowadays. Wasn't really back then either.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Good stuff. Mayfield was the man.

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Great album. Very easy to listen to. Vocals were great. Music is great. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, mellow listen.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

3/5

Damn, man. Way better than I thought it would be. I was dreading having to listen to this. It wound up being pretty enjoyable. Some of the tracks I have never heard of we're quite good.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

I don't know much about Jazz. This seemed good. They played their instruments well. All the tracks kind of blur together into an hour long single track. Enjoyable, but not as good as the Getz/Gilberto album I listened to two days ago (for my taste).

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Very close to 5 stars. Damn good album! Nilsson had an incredible voice.

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

3/5

Started off very strong, kind of lost some steam as the album continued on. The highs are very high.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

1/5

This felt like a sick, cruel joke. I hate this album.

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

3/5

Good album. Really close to 4 stars. More like a 3.75 than a 3.

Garbage

2/5

Nearly an hour of listening to Shirley Manson sing... what did I do to deserve this? Actually, some tracks weren't that terrible. 2 stars.

I See A Darkness

Bonnie "Prince" Billy

3/5

Solid listen. Nothing spectacular, but a solid 3 stars.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Good album. A lot of great tracks. Musically, it fired on all cylinders. Nothing particularly memorable other than Track 1.

Gorillaz

2/5

Clint Eastwood is a good song that's been consistently played for over 20 years. The rest of the tracks are horrific. Honestly, it doesn't even sound like the same artist. More like 1.5 stars, but I'll go with 2 for Clint Eastwood.

Moby Grape

3/5

Good album. Close to 4 stars. Realistically, probably is a 4 star album. I just wasn't focused enough when listening.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

2/5

Eh. Whatever. Not terrible. Some catchy tunes.

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Good album. I didn't even know E, L & P had music like this. I thought it was easy listening for some reason.

Boston

5/5

All-Time banger after All-Time banger. A flawless classic rock album.

Roxy Music

4/5

Hell of an album. I have many strong familial connections to this album so I have to go at least 4 stars.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Great album. A few big hits, a couple lesser known good tunes. One of the better post 2000 popular albums.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

A solid debut album, but nothing particularly memorable. This was definitely a sign of things to come for DP, though.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

3/5

Good album. I prefer my boy Dwight Yoakam, but still good.

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

3/5

Good album. I'm interested in listening to some of her other stuff.

The Cars

5/5

All time great album. Huge hits. Great stuff.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

5/5

A modern masterpiece.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

2/5

I read another review that said this album sounds like video game boss music. That's extremely accurate.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

2/5

Much better than I thought it would be. Not really my thing, but at least it was decent listen.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

4/5

Timeless hits, beautiful ballads. This album is the 50s personified in less have 40 minutes.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

3/5

I liked more than half of this album a lot. Some of the tracks were odd, experimental, I guess. That's all that kept it from being 4 stars for me Solid 3.5.

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

1/5

This album sucks. There's nothing redeeming about it. This is one of those albums you just have to power through.

Pink Flag

Wire

3/5

All of the tracks kind of meld together into one long track and there isn't much in the way of lyrics, but it was still enjoyable. I can see why this is an influential album. 3.75 stars, close to 4.

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

Perfect album.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Very good. Hoping to get more stuff by Pulp.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

1/5

Hard to separate the artist from the person they are. Even without that dilemma the music just isn't very good. Her voice grates on you for nearly an hour.
