Such a great album. Loved the move towards more piano heavy songs. 4/5

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra

Amazing space/rock opera. 4/5

Chris by Christine and the Queens

Liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to based on some of the reviews. 3/5

Tago Mago by Can

Started off strong but then fe off.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode

Best tracks were the instrumental focused ones toward the end. 2.5/5

All Ratings (973)

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 03 2023

Very solid album. The hits are top tier although I did get a bit bored with some of the in-between. Love me some Marvin G. though.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Nov 06 2023

Not really a fan. The hits on the album are decent but the rest didn't move me at all.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Nov 07 2023

Solid metal album. The hits are hits for a good reason! I was a bit bored with the first half of the album, felt very much like "generic metal" but the last half realllllly was great and I ended up adding two songs to my favorites!

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 08 2023

Not a fan. I added the first track but I may remove it, not sure if it has staying power. Overall, I could see how big fans of the genre might like it, but ultimately, it just wasn't for me.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Nov 09 2023

Ok, I REALLY liked this album. I couldn't understand the lyrics, but the instrumentals are top notch! I added quite a few song to my favorites!

Melodrama by Lorde
Nov 10 2023

Thought it was a good album actually. Really made me appreciate Lourde more. 3.5/5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Nov 13 2023

Not a terrible album by any means, but just sort of felt middle of the road for my tastes. Nothing stood out but I wouldn't be miserable listening to it again. 2.5/5.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Nov 14 2023

Not bad. It kept me going but I feel like a lot of their stuff sounds the same. I did end up adding one song to my favorites. I'd give it a solid 3/5.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 15 2023

Can see where this album became highly regarded. Good hits and the deeper tracks can really slap. Gained a much bigger appreciation for ZZ Top. 4/5

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 16 2023

It was alright. I'm not a huge fan of live albums, and I'm not a big Who guy. I'd probably give it a middle of the road 2.5/5 because it did have a couple of moments. Nothing added.

1984 by Van Halen
Nov 17 2023

Classic. A little short but pretty good. Hard to gauge this one. Maybe a 3.75/5.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Nov 20 2023

Solid metal album. The hits are hits for a good reason! I was a bit bored with the first half of the album, felt very much like "generic metal" but the last half realllllly was great and I ended up adding two songs to my favorites!

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 21 2023

Another surprise find. The hits were great, there's a few hidden gems as well. Only added one, but there's another two or three I might after a relisten sometime. 4/5

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 22 2023

Not a bad album, not great. 2.5/5

Nov 24 2023

Pretty good album. Was it a little distracted whole listening. Could go up a half star on relisten. Solid 3/5 maybe more.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 27 2023

Meh 2/5. Nothing special. Was pretty boring.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Nov 28 2023

Very good album. I didn't add anything just because the structure has the songs at 17+ minutes. Would probably go back and listen again. 3.75/5

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Nov 29 2023

Alright album. Nothing really sticks out but I did add one song. Probably a 3-3.5/5

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Nov 30 2023

Had some decent songs that were hits when it first released, but I wasn't a fan of the style overall. Seemed kind of "gospel" at times and a lot of songs sounded kind of similar. I could see how someone liked that type of genre would appreciate it though. 3/5

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Dec 01 2023

Really like this album. Gained a better appreciation for Iggy. Looking forward to hearing more from him. Have three songs added and could see listening to the album in full in the future. A very solid 4-4.5/5.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Dec 04 2023

Such an amazing album. My first 5/5. Added quite a few tracks, enjoyed my whole time with it. Thinking of picking up the vinyl. Will be listening to this one more and more.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 05 2023

The symphonic instrumentals and the big band era sounds were very nice. Hard for me to personally rate it higher than a 3/5 but I could see it being a big hit with fans of the genre. Ella's voice is simply amazing as well!

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 06 2023

Alright. Nothing super ear-catching. The hits are great but everything else was kind of bleh. 3/5.

Cut by The Slits
Dec 07 2023

Not bad. Did like their rendition of "Heard It Through The Grapevine"

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Dec 11 2023

Such a great album. A few bumps, 3.75/5

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 12 2023

Pretty rad jazzy album. Reminded me a lot of a Bebop tune. It was fun to listen to. A nice 3/5

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 13 2023

Solid album with a lot of great hits. Would probably appreciate it more if I hadn't heard them before. The studio recording is a bit choppy but that's what it was in those days. 4/5

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Dec 14 2023

Not used to hearing Leonard without his raspy voice. Very lyrically good album with some haunting instrumentals at times. 3/5

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Dec 15 2023

Good sound. Loved the punk sound. Could have benefited from more time because the songs were great but it felt like they never truly got going to their full potential. Not sure if it was a gimmicky album, but I did enjoy it for what it was. 3.5/5.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Dec 18 2023

Great album with lots of bangers. Not much more to say 5/5 rap album.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Dec 19 2023

Ok, this was a pretty good album. Not a lot stood out as something I would personally listen to repeatedly, but it had good beats and lyrics and I could see how people would really enjoy it. I think I could come back to this later for a relisten. 3.75/5

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Dec 20 2023

Was such a boring listen. I guess I could see how someone might like it but it just didn't hit any spots for me. 2/5

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Dec 21 2023

Enjoyed the album. Added quite a few songs to my likes. 3.75-4/5.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Dec 22 2023

Wonderful for the most part, some of the tracks were kind of bleh, but for the most part a great listen. 3.75/5

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Dec 28 2023

Not bad for a punkish album. Nothing stands out as too special or ear-catching.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Dec 29 2023

So generic sounding. It had all the generic beats and chanting overlay that all the early to mid-90s artists had when trying to break into the electronica scene. Soooo boring.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 02 2024

Not great, not terrible. Is a little forgettable but there were some nice songs, didn't add anything. 2.5/5

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jan 03 2024

Surprisingly good album. When I read it was hardcore I thought for sure I'd be disappointed, but boy was I wrong. I ended up adding a few songs as well. 4/5

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 04 2024

Kind of haunting at times but not really my jam. 2.5/5

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 05 2024

Very good album. I sort of take it for granted because I've heard quite a few of the bangers on it for so long. But I can only imagine for amazing it'd be to hear them again for the first time. 4/5

Jan 08 2024

Classic rap album. I'd never listened to it all the way through so this was a first and enjoyable time. Solid 4/5

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 10 2024

Mid.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jan 11 2024

Mid. Nothing special or eye opening.

Jan 12 2024

Some not to bad tunes. Might actually reexplore in the future. 3/5

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jan 17 2024

Surprise! Great beats, loved it. Added 3-4 songs. 4/5

2112 by Rush
Jan 22 2024

Really enjoyed this. I thought I had heard most of it before, but I guess I never got through the entire first 20 minute romp. Pretty great, would definitely listen to it again. 5/5

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jan 23 2024

Nothing special. Very mid. 2.5/5

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 24 2024

The hits are good

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 25 2024

Not bad! Not exactly a genre I listen to a lot, but it sounded great. 3.5/5

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 29 2024

Really enjoyed this. Added a few tracks. 3.5-4/5

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 30 2024

Not great, not bad, just sort of middle of the road. 2.5/5

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Jan 31 2024

Not bad for a pop album. Great voice, good flow. 3.5/5

Protection by Massive Attack
Feb 01 2024

Ugh, two from Massive Attack. I hate that this is taking a spot from something amazing like Daft Punk's Discovery. 2/5 just because it was better than the first one I got.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 02 2024

Album perfectly encapsulates the early 80s female pop movement. Solid record. 3.5/5

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 05 2024

Great day of listening. Very pleased with this one. 3.5/5

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 06 2024

Classic. One of the two first albums I bought and still holds up almost 30 years later. 4/5

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 07 2024

Bleh. Some of the beats were alright, but it didn't feel like much of substance. Lot of repeating lyrics and just seemed lazy. 2/5

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Feb 08 2024

Enjoyed the album. Slightly above average. 3.5/5

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 09 2024

Generic 60s rock. Nothing to see here. Something my 70 year old mother would have liked, idk maybe, she had better taste though so probably not. 2/5

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 12 2024

Was very apprehensive at first after seeing the title and cover and reading the wiki synopsis, but I was very impressed with the lyrics and instrumentals. Might be something I delve into again at some point and will probably check out more of Stevens' work. Although I only added one song, I have to give this a 4/5.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Feb 14 2024

Pretty normal 60s folk album. Some songs seemed a bit similar to hymns. 2.5/5

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 15 2024

Not a bad collection of love songs. Was really well done, but as I think almost everyone can attest, just soooooo long. I'll give it an even 2.5/5

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 19 2024

Great album. Another solid 4/5

Feb 20 2024

Good album. Better appreciation for Dylan. Think I'll give this another lesson over the weekend and could probably up my rating of 3.5/5.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 21 2024

What a classic. Johnny kills and plays off the crowd so well. Songs are the perfect duration to keep you going but not get bored. 4/5

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 22 2024

Loved it! Good jazzy beats, Ginger killing it on the drums. 4/5

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Feb 23 2024

Nothing special came from this one for me. 2/5

Bossanova by Pixies
Feb 26 2024

Was alright. I liked the previous Pixies album better. This one would be a middle of the road 2.5/5.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Feb 27 2024

Great beats and lyrically sound. Solid 4/5

Heroes by David Bowie
Feb 28 2024

Came into this album excited for the listen because it's Bowie and I've never taken the time to listen to any of his B-sides. Was very disappointed by this one though. Pretty bland, instrumentally it felt repetitive and weak. 2/5

Feb 29 2024

Wasn't a huge fan, probably the weakest of the Wu Tang Clans group/solo albums on the list. 2.5/5

The Predator by Ice Cube
Mar 01 2024

Reminds me of my younger days. 3.5/5

xx by The xx
Mar 04 2024

Surprise find. Had a few catchy tunes. 4/5

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 05 2024

Good composition, but was just a bit boring to me. 2.5/5

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 06 2024

Wasn't thrilled with it at first but it did pick up a little bit before halfway. 3/5

Faust IV by Faust
Mar 07 2024

Nice composition album. The sum was a bit better than the parts, but it kept me going and was a nice listen. 3/5

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 11 2024

Was pleasant enough, but didn't feel like it had any moxie. 2.5/5

Boston by Boston
Mar 12 2024

Bangers all the way through. 5/5

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 13 2024

Great album but it suffers from overexposure over the years. 4/5

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Mar 14 2024

Another album that suffers a bit from overexposure when I was growing up. 3.5/5

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 15 2024

Coldplay is so boring. 2/5

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 18 2024

Takes me back to my teenage days. A classic amongst drunk, partying tweeners! 5/5

War by U2
Mar 19 2024

Was ok, but Bono just comes off as such a tool. Nothing incredible about this one. 2.5/5

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Mar 20 2024

Liked it a lot more than I thought I was going to based on some of the reviews. 3/5

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 21 2024

Wasn't much of the first CD, but the second with the instrumental tracks were good. The first CD was filled with a lot of tracks with that stereotypical 60s sound that sounded like a bad recording. 2.5/5

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Mar 22 2024

Not bad by any means, just sort of flat. Was never a big fan of the mid 90s rubber suit rap and M. Elliott has always rubbed me the wrong way. 2.5/5

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 26 2024

Pretty good listen. Though I have a hard time putting it above 3 just because there wasn't a lot replayability for my tastes. 3/5

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 28 2024

Good album. Classic Steely with a few recognizable hits. 3.5/5

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Mar 29 2024

Kind of dug the composition and production. This guy sure liked this Melody lady! 3/5

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Apr 02 2024

Pretty good album. Really enjoyed it, hard for me to go past 3/5 though.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Apr 03 2024

This was a gem. 3.5/5, maybe a 4/5 after another listen.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Apr 04 2024

Was pretty decent. Had some dips, but the highs were much more frequent. 3.5/5

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Apr 05 2024

Not terrible by any means, it had its moments but I'd be ok never hearing it again. 2.5/5

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Apr 10 2024

Very nice jazzy album! Still a 3/5 because I don't see myself revisiting anytime soon.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 11 2024

Very much feels like an entire album of boring attempts to make a Bond movie theme. 2/5

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 14 2024

Stellar. 5/5

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 17 2024

Great lyricist but this is a pretty weak album outside of Juicy and Big Poppa. Same type of rhythmic beats over and over. 2.5/5

Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 18 2024

Good stuff man 4/5

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Apr 19 2024

Was pleasantly surprised by this one. Not in love with his voice, mainly because I associated it with Disney soundtracks, but it did start growing on me. The instrumentals and composition was wonderful throughout. 3.5/5

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 20 2024

Not bad, not great. Bowie seems to be an acquired taste for me. 3/5

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Apr 22 2024

It's jam band sh*t. Not bad by any means, but it serves better as background music or would be a good time live, but it can really drone on. 2.5/5

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 26 2024

Started off strong but then fe off.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Apr 28 2024

Was pleasantly surprised by this one. 4/5

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Apr 29 2024

Had some good highs and a few lows. Overall, not bad. 3/5

Is This It by The Strokes
May 01 2024

Good listen. 3/5

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
May 02 2024

Not nearly as bad as the reviews made it out to be. Does it deserve a spot on the list? Maybe, definitely better than some others I've gotten. 3/5

Guero by Beck
May 03 2024

Surprisingly great.

Garbage by Garbage
May 05 2024

Probably deserves a better listen, but as of now. 2.5/5

May 06 2024

I love old school hip hop, but this album was so bland. It feels like it uses the same 3 or 4 beats for different songs and there's a lot of phrase repetition. Sad to say because I like some other Public Enemy content, but this was a stinker. 2/5

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 08 2024

Best Springsteen album so far. Nothing memorable but a really nice listen. 3.5/5

One World by John Martyn
May 09 2024

Had a good time with this one. Big Muff was a jam! 3.5/5

Risque by CHIC
May 13 2024

Pretty similar sounding tracks. Still funky tho 2.5/5

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 14 2024

Suffers from being overplayed to death, but it was for a decent reason, it's good, not great. A lot of similar sounding style, but not a bad listen. 3.5/5

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
May 15 2024

This one was a struggle. I can understand how someone might like it, but it just felt very repetitive and bland. Every song kind of felt similar to each other and also just sort of repeated themselves lyrically. 2/5

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 16 2024

Just a masterclass in guitar and a fun ride. 4.5/5

Street Life by The Crusaders
May 17 2024

Funky fresh 3/5

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 18 2024

Had some nice highs but some deep lows. 2.5/5

May 19 2024

Classic from my teen years. Hadn't heard it in a long while and was refreshing.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 21 2024

Pretty good. It does suffer a bit from songs going a bit too long, but that's sort of the nature of live albums. The guitar work by Betts and Allman is great tho. 3.5/5

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
May 22 2024

Was never a fan of The Cure, and after listening to this I'm still not. BUT, I did actually like a couple of songs and have a newfound respect for them. Solid album. 3/5

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 23 2024

Just an all around good album. 4/5

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
May 24 2024

This sounds dated even for a 70s album. Has a 50s feel... 3/5

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
May 26 2024

Very forgettable 2/5

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 27 2024

Loved the instrumentals of this one, but the vocals take a bit away for me. 3/5

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
May 28 2024

Banger. There are a couple of tunes towards the end I'm not a fan of so I can't give it a 5, but a solid 4/5!

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
May 29 2024

Can be kind of haunting. I liked it although I'm not sure how much I'll revisit it. 3/5

Ctrl by SZA
May 30 2024

Nothing really felt special about it. I guess I can see how the Gen Z crowd is a fan, but it just felt generic. 2.5/5

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 31 2024

Classic from my teens. Hard to appreciate it for what it is because by this point I've heard it so much. 3.5/5

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 01 2024

Masterclass. 5/5

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 02 2024

I love these albums that seem to get a lot of low review scores, and then surprise, it's awesome. This had moments that sounded like background or elevator music, but they still groove and there were a few really haunting tracks as well. What a banger. 4/5

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jun 04 2024

Fantastic jazz album. A little long, so I ended up stopping it at the end of the recording of the live show. 3.5/5

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 05 2024

Meh, a bit underwhelming. 2.5/5

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jun 08 2024

Had some good moments but nothing really stood out too wildly. 2.5/5

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jun 09 2024

Enjoyable listen. 3.5/5

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jun 11 2024

Wish it was longer, but a good live album. 3/5

Repeater by Fugazi
Jun 13 2024

Nothing really stood out. Seemed to be ahead of its time though. 2.5/5

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jun 14 2024

Not a bad listen, actually kind of soothing tbh, it just didn't have any real standouts. 3/5

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 15 2024

Pretty good all the way through! 4/5

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jun 16 2024

Pretty mellow listen. Some real groovy love songs. 3.5/5

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 17 2024
Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 19 2024

Didn't enjoy it as much as Freewheelin' but was still good. Will have to give it another listen.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 21 2024

Hidden gem for me. So good. 4/5

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 22 2024

I was really unappreciative of this one before a thorough listen. Much better this time around. 3.5/5

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 23 2024

Just kinda meh. Every song sort of sounded similar. 2/5

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jun 24 2024

Not bad. Vocals tho... Oof 2.5/5

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 25 2024

Great album 3.5/5

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 26 2024

Couple of bangers and then what feels like filler. 3/5

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 27 2024

Boring as hell. And I still have to deal with all of the Morrissey albums yet. 😑

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 29 2024

Really enjoyed this one 5/5

New Forms by Roni Size
Jul 01 2024

Boring and generic drum and bass. 2/5

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jul 03 2024

Is it a bad listen? Not really. Doesn't feel like there is much substance. Again, it's one of those "elevator music" type albums. 2.5/5

Jul 05 2024

Very good 60s psychedelic rock album, but not a great Floyd album. I've never been a fan of Barrett era PF mainly because I grow up with the seminal Gilmour era 70s and onward LPs. Overall I enjoyed it, but would have liked to have had Animals on the list instead. 3.5/5

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jul 07 2024

This one hit my life when I was in my mid teens and was a bit of a breath of fresh air at that time. Coming off the rap of the 90s focusing hard on the all or nothing attitude of gangsta rap, this hit with tight lyrics and beats and didn't need to be as serious. Are the lyrics silly at times? Absolutely, but that's ok, it handles it well. 4/5

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Jul 08 2024

So this one didn't really reach out to me as much as I would have thought with how highly peolt speak of Mitchell's work. While it wasn't bad by any means, it just didn't feel like something that I'd return to in the future, but I am looking forward to more of her work to see where I sit with her. Harry's House was phenomenal though! 3/5

Forever Changes by Love
Jul 10 2024

Ok, so just another run of the mill 60s psychedelic rock album. Not great, not terrible, just follows that same template that most of those groups seemed to follow back then. 2.5/5

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jul 11 2024

It has it's moments but overall just didn't age well. 2/5

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jul 12 2024

Good moments but nothing stood out as ear catching. And unfortunately the language barrier takes away from it as well. 2.5/5

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jul 13 2024

Excluding Jerry's creepy personal life, this one was pretty good but also shorrrt. 3/5

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 14 2024

Very lovely album. 3/5

Odelay by Beck
Jul 15 2024

Just kind of alright. 3/5

Debut by Björk
Jul 16 2024

Wasn't very attracted to this one which was disappointing because I really loved the Sugarcubes album I got a little while ago and I was looking forward to hearing some of her solo work. There's still many of hers yet to go, so I'm looking forward to that. 2.5/5

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 17 2024

Such a great album. Loved the move towards more piano heavy songs. 4/5

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 20 2024

Best tracks were the instrumental focused ones toward the end. 2.5/5

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 22 2024

Last few songs were good, others were a bit forgetful. 3/5

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jul 23 2024

Not bad! Can't wait for their next one to pop up. 3/5

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jul 24 2024

Big Zeppelin fan, but this has been my least favorite so far. 3-3.5/5

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 25 2024

Pretty good listen. Familiar with \"Hungry Like the Wolf\", but the rest was a pleasant surprise. Kind of what I expected Depeche Mode to sound like but without the disappointment. 3.5/5

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 26 2024

Pretty good, but short. He's the king though, so he does what he wants. 3/5

Queen II by Queen
Jul 27 2024

Very nice cohesive album where the sum is better than the parts. 3.5/5

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 28 2024

Easy 3.5/5, I feel like this could be one to raise a half - full star after another listen or two.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 29 2024

Pretty average, but that's what a lot of this late 90's mellow rock was to me in general. It's a decent listen but nothing I'd come back to. 3/5

Play by Moby
Jul 30 2024

Forgot how many hits were on this. Enjoyed it! 3.5/5

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 31 2024

I love me some MG, but all of his tunes outside the hits just sound like generic Motown R&B from that period. He even reuses the beat from Let's Get It On unironically on a different track. 2.5/5

Lost Souls by Doves
Aug 02 2024

Nice listen. 3/5

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Aug 04 2024

Really enjoyed the variances in genres for the different tracks. It felt very refreshing going to the next song. Have to hand it to him just for the scope. 4/5

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Aug 05 2024

Synthetic jazz. 2.5/5

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 06 2024

Idk, just didn't really grab me. Maybe it was the sound, maybe it was just a bad day. Either way. 2.5/5

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Aug 07 2024

Very early 60s bubblegum. Glad I got this one first, it's always amazing to see their transformation in such a short time. They still had some growing to do, but for the time it was groundbreaking. 3/5

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Aug 08 2024

Best MG album on the list. Some tracks went on a little too long, but a very heartfelt record. 3/5

Aug 09 2024

Another classic from my teenage years. It's value has gone down a bit but still bops. I probably don't appreciate it as much as I would if I was going into it fresh. 3.5/5

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Aug 10 2024

What a great listen! 5/5

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Aug 11 2024

Pretty good listen 3.5/5

Aug 12 2024

Pretty good listen, not something I'd come back to but it scratched an itch for the day. 3.5/5

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Aug 13 2024

So good. The title track and Can You Get With That especially are stellar 4/5

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 14 2024

Not completely unlistenable like some on here would make it out to be. I do really find that style from the 90s where they had house music playing and a female singing monotonously over the instrumentals really annoying. And boy was it waaaaay longer than it had any right to be. 2/5

Fragile by Yes
Aug 15 2024

Always welcome a little Yes. 3.5/5

Bad Company by Bad Company
Aug 16 2024

Pretty good all the way through. I want to give it a 5, but something is holding me back from doing it. So I'm going to go 4/5

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 17 2024

Was pretty underwhelmed with this, my 2nd, Radiohead album. 3/5

The Clash by The Clash
Aug 18 2024

Nothing stellar. The opening track is great though! 2.5/5

The Bends by Radiohead
Aug 20 2024

It had it's moments, but overall it was something I dont think I'd come back to for a relisten. 3/5

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Aug 21 2024

I thought this was a really good country album. Reminded me a lot of the old Crystal Gayle songs from the 70s. 3.75/5

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Aug 22 2024

Not a bad listen, nothing really jumped out as something I'd want to add and listen to again. 3/5

Make Yourself by Incubus
Aug 23 2024

I never gave Incubus much respect in their hayday, but this was a really good one. Besides the hits, it had a lot of hidden gems. 4/5

25 by Adele
Aug 24 2024

I can't say it was bad; her talent and voice are amazing. It just felt like it was missing something. 3/5

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Aug 25 2024

Little more prog then I expected from SD, but it was really good.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Aug 26 2024

I feel like I need to give this one another spin or two, but my first thought is 3.5/5

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 27 2024

Very peaceful. 3/5

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 28 2024

Just felt very generic and uninspired. 2.5/5

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Aug 29 2024

Soooo boring. 2/5

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 01 2024

I'm starting to wonder about my feelings towards Bowie. I just have not liked what I've heard so far. 2.5/5

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 02 2024

This was sooooooo good! 5/5

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 03 2024

Another 5er. Such a good run of tracks. 5/5

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Sep 04 2024

Much preferred this over the newer material he's put out. 4/5

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Sep 05 2024

Not bad! Did have a very unique layout. 3.5/5

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Sep 07 2024

Very good! 3.5/5

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Sep 12 2024

Cypress bout to kick it! Classic early 90s hip hop from one of the OGs. 3.5/5

Sep 13 2024

This was a really solid listen. I've enjoyed Jamiroquai for a while, but this was the first time I noticed how much I'm reminded of Stevie Wonder when listening. 3.5/5

Harvest by Neil Young
Sep 14 2024

Really started to fall in love with this one. (Edit: Ended up falling in love with it.) 5/5

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Sep 15 2024

I was just a little disappointed. Great album, but expected more. It suffers from being longer than it needs. Still willing to give it a 3.5/5

My Generation by The Who
Sep 17 2024

Budget brand Zeppelin. 2/5

OK by Talvin Singh
Sep 18 2024

These 90s house albums need to go. 2/5

Nowhere by Ride
Sep 20 2024

It was ok, not something I'd revisit, but it had it's moments I suppose. 3/5

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Sep 23 2024

This was a pleasant surprise! I wish I could've used Spotify to hear the entire thing, but I'll keep an eye out and do another listen. 3.5/5

Phrenology by The Roots
Sep 25 2024

Started off pretty strong; thought I was listening to a 4 or even 5, but it did start to slow down quality-wise as it went on. I'll probably listen to it again and see where I'm at then, but as of my first listen I'm sitting at a 3.5/5

Dummy by Portishead
Sep 26 2024

This one is so good. It does have a few dips, but overall is a very strong 4/5.

Django Django by Django Django
Sep 27 2024

After glancing over the reviews I was expecting a masterpiece, not so a reality. 3/5

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 28 2024

Great live album. Cash knows how to play to a crowd. 3.5/5

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 29 2024

Loved the flow. 4/5

Low-Life by New Order
Sep 30 2024

This was actually pretty enjoyable. I'd give it a 3.5/5, but I think it could go up on additional listens.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Oct 03 2024

Nothing really groundbreaking but it was a decent enough listen. 3/5

Palo Congo by Sabu
Oct 04 2024

I do like a bit if congo/samba so I didn't really think this was bad. Nothing I'd ever come back to, but it was a nice little ride. 2.5/5

1999 by Prince
Oct 05 2024

Funky 3.5/5

Pink Flag by Wire
Oct 07 2024

Sooooo good! 5/5

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 08 2024

Overall, a very good album. (Came back to this and upped it to a 5/5)

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 09 2024

I tend to shit on LP more than I praise them, but it's mainly because their music was everywhere in the early 2000s. Now that I've had a respite from them for a while, it was refreshing to hear. 3.5/5

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Oct 10 2024

I had a real blast with this. It feels like a 4/5

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Oct 11 2024

I was all aboard on this one. I dig the ambient instrumentals and haunting nature. It's a niche area of the spectrum, but I'm a fan. 3.5/5

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 12 2024

It had it's moments, although the length of those tracks is ridiculous. Time killers with no real uniqueness throughout. 2.5/5

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 13 2024

I just love the instrumentals and the feel of the bum, but the monotone goth vocals just take so much away from it as a whole. 2.5/5

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Oct 14 2024

It had some solid moments. 3/5

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Oct 15 2024

Had some good vibes to it! 3/5

Oct 16 2024

If you're a Spotify user do yourself a favor and go search for the original Hammersmith Live album. It's only 43 minutes, really no need to put yourself through the extra our tacked on that the expanded version puts you through. I'm sure this would have been great in person but it just all sounds the same. 2/5

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Oct 17 2024

Pretty good hardcore album. 3/5

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Oct 18 2024

Not incredibly ear catching, but a nice peaceful listen! 3/5

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 19 2024

I imagine it was pretty great for it's time, but it lost me a bit in there. Still would give it a 3.5/5

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Oct 20 2024

Had to check it out on YouTube (throwing muses full album). The above album cover and title are incorrect. I wasn't very impressed during my first listen, I think because I was a little distracted. On a second playthrough I felt the brunt of it's quality! Easy 4/5

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Oct 21 2024

Such a surprise entry! Had a lot of fun with this. 3.5/5

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 22 2024

Classic grunge! Anyone growing up in the 90s should be familiar with this. 4/5

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 23 2024

This was such a nice and fresh surprise. 4/5

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Oct 24 2024

This was so feel good. Will definitely give another listen to soon. 3.5/5

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Oct 25 2024

Really enjoyed this initially, but another listen may change which direction it goes in. 3.5/5

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 26 2024
Abraxas by Santana
Oct 27 2024

So. Good. 4/5

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 29 2024

Same old reggae

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Oct 31 2024

Instrumentally I really liked what this album brought, but good lord were the vocals just not there. It sounded like a caricature of a Jamaican trying to do reggae and just missed so hard which is disappointing because I think there could have been something really good here. 2.5/5

1977 by Ash
Nov 01 2024

I enjoyed this. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was good for a spin on a rainy Thursday. 3/5

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 02 2024

This was a tough one to get through. The voice is just grating through the first 3/4 of it. The last few tracks are somewhat redeemable, but ugh. 2/5

Teen Dream by Beach House
Nov 03 2024

Nice! I'll have to give this a couple more listens. 3.5/5

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Nov 04 2024

Some great hits. Up there with her best work. 3.5/5

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 05 2024

Such a great rock album! 4/5

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Nov 06 2024

Really wasn't feeling it until about the last 15 minutes or so. 2.5/5

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 09 2024

Not bad, but always feels like something is missing from these RH albums. I get so hyped from people talking them up and then it's just disappointment. 3/5

Nov 11 2024

Hasn't aged as well as expected. Couple real amazing songs, but a majority just doesn't hit the mark anymore. 3/5

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Nov 12 2024

Fantastic album that fell short of a 5 with the last few songs. 4/5

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Nov 15 2024

This was pretty decent. 3.5/5

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 17 2024

Really enjoyed this one for some reason. It had a nationalistic feel to it that was very powerful. 3.5/5

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 18 2024

Meh, was all pretty similar. 2.5/5

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 19 2024

After all the talk about how genius these KL albums are I was so disappointed. Everything about it felt very generic. 2.5/5

Dog Man Star by Suede
Nov 22 2024

A lighthearted album with touches of excitement. I agree with some other reviews, it feels very Bowie-esque at times. 3.5/5

High Violet by The National
Nov 24 2024

Nothing complicated, but it just is catchy at times. 3.5/5

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Nov 25 2024

I'll be giving this another listen to see what I think, but my initial thought is a 3.5/5.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 26 2024

Didn't hit the spot. 2.5/5

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Nov 27 2024

Amazing space/rock opera. 4/5

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Dec 01 2024

Incredibly boring. 2/5

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Dec 02 2024

Bleh, generic house. 2/5

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Dec 03 2024

3/5

John Prine by John Prine
Dec 04 2024

Great listen. Nice cool mix of folk and country. Will definitely listen to again. 3.5/5

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Dec 05 2024

Very good overall, although another Dylan record I really feel will go up on subsequent playthroughs. 3.5/5

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Dec 08 2024

Salsssaaaaaaa! 3/5

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Dec 09 2024

Just wasn't feeling it. 2/5

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 11 2024

Sly was fly. 3.5/5

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Dec 12 2024

Good listen! 3.5/5

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Dec 13 2024

I can hear some moments in the middle of this very industrialized piece of work, but a lot of it feels simply like noise. 2/5

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Dec 15 2024

Not bad! I think I need to give it another listen and go from there, but gut says 3/5 atm

Dare! by The Human League
Dec 16 2024

Great album that really expresses what 80s new wave was all about. 3.5/5

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 17 2024

Started out great, but felt like it fell off towards the end. 3.5/5

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 19 2024

Nice and folky. 3/5

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 24 2024

Fantastic funk/soul mix! 4/5

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jan 06 2025

Think this is one I'll have to listen to again to appreciate it more. 3/5

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jan 07 2025

It was ok. Very piano heavy, but monotonous. Felt like I needed to probably be in the mood for that type of genre to appreciate it the most. 2.5/5

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 08 2025

Fantastic instrumentals, especially Zappa's guitar work. 3.5/5

Smash by The Offspring
Jan 11 2025
Justified by Justin Timberlake
Jan 16 2025

Pretty good pop album. Definitely has some notes of MJ and there was a song that sounded very Wonder-esque. 3.5/5

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 19 2025

2.5/5

Tommy by The Who
Jan 21 2025
evermore by Taylor Swift
Jan 25 2025

A little long-winded at times but killer tracks. 3.5/5

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 05 2025

3.5/5

Feb 06 2025

People will shit on this mainly because of the Phil Specter aspect, but it's really not a bad album tbh. Also, check out the tracklist for the OG album and remove the unneeded tracks that were from a completely different record. 3.5/5

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 10 2025

Very good! 3.5/5

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 14 2025

Amazing album, but there is a lot of fluff thrown in. 4/5

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Feb 16 2025

Not nearly as bad as everyone made it out to be. 3/5

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Feb 21 2025

Had a few moments sounding a bit same-y, but it rocked. 3.5/5

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 23 2025

Lame 2/5

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 26 2025

Moments of epicness. Would have liked if it was broken up into more tracks, but this is how it was envisioned and you have to respect that. 4/5

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Feb 27 2025

Started strong but fell off towards the end. 3.5/5

Kenya by Machito
Feb 28 2025

3/5

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 03 2025

Classic 4/5

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Mar 11 2025

Not my jam, but 8 can see how people would like it. 2.5/5

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 13 2025

No thanks 2.5 / 5

Mar 20 2025

Pretty good. Will need to give it another listen soon to let it soak. 3.5/5

B-52's by The B-52's
Mar 21 2025

Pretty good. Expected the sound, but was impressed overall. 3/5

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 22 2025

Really nice mix between different genres. 3.5/5

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 24 2025

These artists were just built different back then. What a voice, sounded more like a studio album than love. 3/5

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Mar 29 2025

3/5

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 04 2025

2.5/5

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Apr 07 2025

2.5/5

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Apr 11 2025

Meh, I'm just not a Joni Mitchell fan. Her voice at times can be grating and the instrumental composition for most of her songs just doesn't do it for me. Lyrically she's great though. 2.5/5

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Apr 14 2025

Nice enough. Nothing too groundbreaking. 3/5

Tical by Method Man
Apr 18 2025

3.5/5

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 25 2025

Jesus, cmon. So uninspiring and tedious. 1/5

Great for it's time, but a lot of duds. 2.5/5

Jun 07 2025

Nice listen, nothing too groundbreaking. 2.5/5

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 11 2025

Can definitely feel the dip after their first groundbreaking albums. The title track is a banger though. 2.5/5

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jun 14 2025

Idk, sounds like all music from that region. 2.5/5

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Reggae Mon 3.5/5

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 19 2025

Omg it just drones on and feels so uninspired. 2/5

Jun 20 2025

Not bad, but nothing I felt needed adding to my liked, except one I had alrdy. 3.5/5

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jun 23 2025

Ok, so the lead vocalists voice can get to you. You can tell he's really trying to overdo it or something. But still, I liked the actual song compositions. 3.5/5

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 25 2025

Not bad, but probably wouldn't revisit. 2.5/5

Wasn't feeling the first half too much, but the second half made up for it. 3.5/5

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jul 23 2025

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Sep 01 2025

Fantastic! 4/5

Sep 02 2025

Not a U2 fan at all, but this one had the hits and the in-between wasnt bad either. 3.5/5

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Sep 03 2025

Love me some McCartney, but this one didn't hit quite like some of his other work. Still good nonetheless. 3/5

Scott 2 by Scott Walker

Yuck, sounds like Tom Jones attempting rock. 2/5

Technique by New Order
Sep 06 2025

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Sep 25 2025

I like folk but this was just so bland. Every song sounded to similar, felt like there was no variations 2.5/5

Cross by Justice
Sep 26 2025

Loved. It. 5/5

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Oct 03 2025

Ugh, so monotonous. Giving it a 2/5 only because her voice is undeniably great.

Be by Common
Oct 09 2025

3.5/5

Third by Soft Machine
Oct 10 2025

Omg tooooo long. If you're going to fill a 2 hour album with 18 minute tracks, you better bring it. They didn't. 2/5

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Oct 11 2025

This wasn't bad. Not sure if I'd listen again, but could see why people are drawn to her music. 3/5

Not bad. 2.5/5

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 13 2025

Some great tunes here, and others a bit ruined by the vocalist at times. Not nearly as bad as some reviewers would have you think. 3/5

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Nov 17 2025

Nothing special 3/5

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Nov 18 2025

Not bad 2.5/5

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Dec 09 2025

It's jazz 2.5/5

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Dec 11 2025

Ok, I'm familiar with KoL but never listened to this all the way through and never realized they were all on the same album. It was a jam. 4/5

Slayed? by Slade
Dec 12 2025

This was decent. I will have to give it another visit. 3.5/5

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Dec 14 2025

I want to give this more, but 3.5/5 seems fair considering what seemed like 4 or 5 songs all start with the same progressions.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Dec 17 2025

Got confused thinking I was listening to the "Boomerang" soundtrack. 2/5

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Dec 19 2025

A little slow and weepy. 2.5/5

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Dec 20 2025

It was a jam. 3.5/5

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Dec 22 2025

Other reviews had me thinking it was going to be a complete stinker, but it wasn't all that bad for a 60s psychedelic album. 2.5/5

Let It Be by The Replacements
Dec 25 2025

3/5

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Dec 26 2025

Vocals a little meh, but what a jam. 4/5

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Dec 28 2025

Ok, went into this one not expecting a lot based on my experience with the radio hit Lovefool, but I'll admit I was pleasantly surprised. Also, the Iron Man rendition was a cool change to the popular metal song. Solid 3/5

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 30 2025

The better of the 5 Costello albums I've gotten so far. God's, how many more can there be? 3/5

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jan 01 2026

Generic brit pop, nothing to see here. 2.5/5

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 02 2026

Borrrrinnnngg 2.5/5

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Jan 03 2026

Giving it an extra 0.5 because it was unique and took chances and some of the tracks were catchy. 3/5

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jan 04 2026

If you're even remotely familiar with the BSs, you kind of know what to expect. That being said, this is one of their weaker works, but at least they're willing to take chances. 2.5/5

Jan 05 2026

Snoresville. They take no chances, everytime you think they're going to let go and do something, the song ends. 2/5

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jan 06 2026

Folky boretown 2/5

Electric by The Cult
Jan 07 2026

The Visitors by ABBA
Jan 10 2026

Enjoyed this one more than I expected. Was going to do Gove it a 3.5 but I'm going to bump the rating to 4 because Ma loved her some Abba. 4/5

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jan 11 2026

The Queen. 4/5

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 12 2026

Continues to grow on me as it went on. Can't believe she didn't end up a bigger act. *Listened to again and didn't resonate, edited down to a 3/5.*

Who's Next by The Who
Jan 14 2026

The Who? 3.5/5

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jan 15 2026

Not bad, but nothing life-changing. Good background beats. 3/5

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jan 16 2026

Boring. How the F doe the Verve have two albums on this list? 2/5

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 17 2026

Not bad, but I agree with another user, does sound like "boss music" at times. 2.5/5

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jan 18 2026

It's alright. Probably great for the jazz lovers out there, but this style always comes off as something I'd eat dinner too and nothing else. No real excitement in the bones and no feeling of wanting to come back to it. 2.5/3

Faith by George Michael
Jan 19 2026

Definitely had it's moments in the form of the hits, but the in-between lost me. 3.5/5

Sulk by The Associates
Jan 21 2026

Frig off. 2/5

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jan 24 2026

Meh 2.5/5

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jan 25 2026

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 05 2026

Dope. 4/5

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 08 2026

What 2/5

Feb 14 2026

Not bad. Needed more funk. 3/5

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Feb 15 2026

Fantastic 4.5/5

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 16 2026

Was expecting something special but was disappointed. Overhyped. 2.5/5

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Feb 18 2026

Lol gtfo with this 2/5

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 19 2026

Not bad, kind of haunting at times. 3.5/5

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Feb 21 2026

Was ok, but not really in the mood for blues today. Still a 3/5

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Feb 23 2026

Had some moments. 2.5/5

Eagles by Eagles
Feb 24 2026

Mar 09 2026

Was pretty enjoyable. 3.5/5

Sheet Music by 10cc
Mar 10 2026

It was alright, but nothing memorable. 2.5/5

Da Capo by Love
Mar 11 2026

Just fine. 2.5/5

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Mar 12 2026

This is like my third or fourth 60s psychedelic rock album in a row so I was dreading it when I pulled it, but it was kind of a banger. 3.5/5

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 13 2026

If there's one thing this list has taught me it's that I don't like Bowie as much as I thought I did. A lot of his material, especially the newer stuff, is garbage and I really dislike his singing style. The best thing he's done was raise up SRV at Montreux. 2/5

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Mar 16 2026

Usually it's a bit hard for me to appreciate foreign language albums, but this one was fun. 3/5

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 17 2026

One of the goats. 5/5

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 18 2026

Kind of a jam. Would definitely listen again. 3.5/5

Mar 19 2026

Decent but went on a bit too long. 3/5

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Mar 23 2026

Alright 3/5

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 24 2026

Not bad! 3.5/5

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 25 2026

I preferred his earlier albums on the list, but this was pretty good and Sledgehammer is a jam. 3.5/5

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 28 2026

It was ok. 3/5

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Mar 31 2026

Thought it was gonna be shite, turned out to be not all that bad. 3/5

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Apr 01 2026

Good mellow folk listen. 3/5

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 02 2026

Pretty chill. 3.5/5

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Apr 04 2026

Not bad for old orchestral. Holiday's voice is great. 3/5

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 06 2026

Ok, usually not into the experimental stuff, but I kind of dug the music. I could have done without the skits or interludes. 3/5

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 07 2026

What a gem. 5/5

Berlin by Lou Reed
Apr 09 2026

Super enjoyable. 3.5/5

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Apr 10 2026

There was a couple moments that were like wtf, but overall this was a great post punk album. 4/5

S&M by Metallica
Apr 11 2026

Decent, but nothing groundbreaking. 3/5

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 13 2026

This wasn't terrible and this is coming from someone sick of seeing Nick Cave on this list. 3/5

Leftism by Leftfield
Apr 14 2026

Really great! Lots of jams. 4/5

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Apr 17 2026

This was so good. My favorite non-UK foreign album. Agree with another comment that it has a very Japanese city pop sound to it. 4/5

Destroyer by KISS
Apr 18 2026

Kind of a banger. Although I'm taking away a half a point because the band members are insufferable picks. 3.5/5

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Apr 26 2026

Amazing album with a great blend of country, bluegrass, and honky tonk. It does suffer a lot from the length of time though. 4/5

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Apr 29 2026

Toooo long and bland. 2/5

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Apr 30 2026

I actually don't mind much Dylan, but this was a rough listen. 2/5

Dust by Screaming Trees
May 02 2026

Very average. 2.5/5

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
May 03 2026

This was great. 4/5

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
May 05 2026

Uh, it's reggae so yea, kind of what you'd expect. 2.5/5

Medúlla by Björk
May 07 2026

Jun 04 2026

Booooo - urns 2/5

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jun 05 2026

Some jams on this one 3.5/5

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jun 07 2026

Really great. 3.5/5

Jun 09 2026

I don't mind me a little 80s country. Had some polka aspects at times which isn't bad as a Midwestern boy. 3/5

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jun 10 2026

I got down with a few of the songs, but the lyrics in some of the others...? Yeesh. Knocked it down a 0.5 for me. 3/5

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jun 11 2026

It was ok. 2.5/5

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 13 2026

Good. 3.5/5 but bumping it up half a star to 4.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 15 2026

Good listen! 3.5/5

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jun 17 2026

Man Fats is great, but a lot of his stuff suffers from sounding the same. Plus the album being only 31 minutes (that includes the two bonus tracks as well) really does drop it a bit. 3.5/5

Woodface by Crowded House
Jun 18 2026

Fuck off with this shit. 1/5

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jun 19 2026

Alright, but very forgettable. 2.5/5

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 20 2026

Not usually into this style, but it was pretty good. 3.5/5 maybe a 4.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jun 21 2026

Such a good album! 3.5/5 for now, but could see a bump to a 4 after another listen.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jun 23 2026

This was pretty great. 4/5

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 24 2026

3.5/5, but could see this moving up.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jun 25 2026

This was a vibe. Sounded a bit trip-choppy. 3.5/5

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jun 26 2026

Good instrumentals! 3.5/5

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 27 2026

Pretty good! 3.5/5

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jun 28 2026

Jesus H. Ok, I understand the cultural impact he had during this time, but this does not age well at all. It's so boring and monotonous and all sounds the same. It's no wonder music blew up in the 60s, people finally got a taste of uniqueness and some risk taking. Maybe I'm more of a Dean Martin fan. 2/5

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 29 2026

Music for sad teenagers. 2/5

Night Life by Ray Price
Jun 30 2026

Pretty good 3.5/5

Third by Portishead
Jul 02 2026

Love me some Portishead 4/5

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Jul 10 2026

Pretty rad. 3.5/5

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 11 2026

Just was not feeling it. I expected better because I had heard "Them Changes" and loved it. It seemed like as soon as a beat came on that I got into, it ended up being a short interlude, so that was frustrating. 2.5/5

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jul 14 2026

I shit all over the last Sinatra album I got, but this one was way better. Each track sounded a bit more unique from each other and I really enjoyed it. 4/5

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jul 17 2026

Great! 4/5

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jul 22 2026

This was kind of a vibe. 3.5/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 16 2026

Great, but really needed to be trimmed down. 4/5
