Frank by Amy Winehouse
Nov 01 2023

I think the production is underappreciated in amy winehouse's music, but her vocal ability adds a nice icing to the mascara running cake

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 07 2023

Little rough around the edges and packs some meat, but has a lot of great elements that inspire a lot of bands I like today

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Nov 08 2023

Nice little country folk album. Didn't blow me away, but I liked it.

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 09 2023

Swing and a miss. The instrumentation was cluttered and the vocals were drawn out and sloppy.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Nov 13 2023

Interesting hearing the start of the Elvis revolution. Elvis's debut album is mix of slow intimate songs sprinkled with high energy hip shaking songs. Not a cohesive album, but a good listen.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 14 2023

Solid album. The songwriting is a little weak on side b

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Nov 15 2023

They are a great rock band. It's just not the type of rock that I am into.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Nov 16 2023

There are some gold nuggets in there, but overall, an ok album

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Nov 20 2023

This is slightly more elevated than a dollar bin album, but not more than a $2 bin album.

Purple Rain by Prince
Nov 21 2023

Mostly pretty cringe. The lyrics are pretty horrendous. The production is ok, but doesn't hold up

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 22 2023

Love me some Sufjan Stevens. I have his album beginners mind on vinyl. Given his discography, this one is middle of the road for me

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 23 2023

Full of groovy bangers

Vivid by Living Colour
Dec 01 2023

Not for me. Sounds like they threw in the kitchen sink and random words and pine to string up some songs

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 04 2023

It's fine. Just don't like classic rock. Also doesn't really hold up to the test of time in my opinion.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 05 2023

Jack White played yeti season before his concert, and I watched one of my favorite bands (Geese) at third man records, so he has a great taste in music. However when it comes to his own music, in particular this album, it doesn't quite connect with me. In particular the song writing doesn't really stand out to me as being novel or exciting.

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 07 2023

Pretty fun and groovy. It is a little outdated, but for the most part it still holds up
