...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 05 2024

Too monotonous for me, the guitar/drum/bass synchronous drive overlaid by the harsh vocals was headache inducing.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 06 2024

Not a fan…songs sound alike and Lemmie’s voice is just not for me.

Jan 07 2024

2 good songs I could listen to in regular rotation, but only this acoustic version. The balance of the album is dark and morose and very much not my taste.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 09 2024

Moody Blues/Pink Floyd influencer.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 10 2024

Excellent album. Will pick up on vinyl

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jan 11 2024

Not horrible…punked out Tom Petty. Won’t likely buy it but wouldn’t change station if songs on the radio.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 12 2024

Excellent record, some great remakes and many great originals. The “strolling” piano notes and tempo are not my thing but overall the record is strong.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 13 2024

Very interesting…not a fan at all of the vocal pieces but the instruments are strong and varied in some cool ways! Strings, horns, banjo…love it all.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 14 2024

Really nice record. Love the covers of some great songs! Solid guitars, cool R&B tunes for an evening playlist.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 17 2024

Ok album, a bit of the psychedelic sounds. Huge guitars, iconic. But not my groove overall.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jan 20 2024

Not my thing, explicit language only added to my low appreciation.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jan 21 2024

Really not my interest...

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 22 2024

Forgot how good this album is. Need to buy it on vinyl for the collection. A good one.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jan 23 2024

Decent record. Have not been a CSNY fan, group or solo. But Stills is a good listen.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jan 25 2024

A bit James Bond sounding, psychedelic tones and some wild lyrics. Par for the time...

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jan 26 2024

Solid! Love the fusion of sounds, good chill/hangout music. Long time Steely Day fan.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 10 2024

Never been a Dylan fan based on later years sound. This one is terrific!

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Feb 12 2024

Solid. Not a big CSNY fan but this I enjoyed.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Feb 15 2024

Excellent record! Had it on CD years ago. Need to add the vinyl.

Play by Moby
Feb 17 2024

Some cool chill background music and some interesting blues takes. Would listen again.

Django Django by Django Django
Feb 19 2024

Sounded like soundtrack to kids cartoon or a video game background.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Feb 20 2024

Nope, musical-sounding songs. Broadway perhaps?

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 23 2024

Not terrible…could listen to 3-4 songs if I heard them on a playlist or XM.

Feb 24 2024

Like this one, great sound and varied instruments. Love Winwood’s vocals.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 26 2024

Bobby Axelrod from the show Billions was a big Metallica fan…that character’s personality rubs me the wrong way just like Metallica’s music. I just cannot find anything good about their music. It is just intolerable to my taste.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Feb 27 2024

A little too old-school jazz. Ok for background but not one to focus listening ear.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 28 2024

Closest I can get to this is Sirius by The Alan Parsons Project…

Face to Face by The Kinks
Mar 06 2024

Beatles, Stones, Dylan all appear to be influencers of this record. Good but not one I’d buy or put on a playlist. Not a big fan of Ray Davies’s voice.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 07 2024

Not a go…just not my style at all. Much of it sounded like tools banging together.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 08 2024

Oddly some songs were really bad while a few were decent. I didn’t think I’d like any of them at all.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Mar 09 2024

I enjoyed this way more than expected. My best friend loves this band so I was glad to check this out. Pretty good.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Mar 10 2024

Melancholy, minor keys, repetitive guitars. Some early U2 sounds in some songs. Not my thing.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Mar 13 2024

No go…reminds me of music from horror movie.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 16 2024

Cross between Midnight Oil and 80’s synth-noise. Way out of my interest zone.

Third by Soft Machine
Mar 21 2024

Like a long jam session…not terrible, try jazz-fusion sound. Background music?

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Mar 22 2024

Interesting sound…some songs decent, some not so much. Not a fan of the vocals.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Mar 27 2024

Strong record from a great group. Vocals iffy when Barry not doing lead. But a cool record to have in my collection.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 30 2024

Ok…disappointing to an extent. Thought I would like this better than I did.

Repeater by Fugazi
Apr 06 2024

Did not like it at all

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 24 2024

Strong record! Bluesy, raw, great lyrics.
