BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé

Wow. I don't think I've ever disliked pop music this much. Genuinely unpleasant to listen to. I thought Beyonce was pretty well-liked, but this is just not fun or interesting at all.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 06 2024

I liked this one a lot. The sound was very clear. The guitar parts reminded me of gitkin a bit. Very nice music. No clue what the lyrics are though. Liked the first half more than the second.

Be by Common
Jan 07 2024

Wasn't my thing. I can tell that the rhythm and lyrics are good, but I don't care for them, and the music wasn't interesting in itself. I honestly didn't even finish this one.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jan 08 2024

Easy listening but not particularly engaging. Sounded like something my mom would listen to but being played from the other room while I do something else. Liked a few songs though and it made nice background music.

Jan 09 2024

I'm not usually a rap person, but the first song on this album seemed unusually promising. A more playful style, a second voice adding interest, and, dare I say, hints of a melody in the background. As the album progressed I tried to stay hopeful, but was quickly driven to insanity by the repeating high-pitched noises in the background of Every. Single. Song. I turned this one off halfway through.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 10 2024

Fun guitar stuff, nice to listen to. I liked crosstown traffic a lot. Revolutionary for it's time, but not for mine.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jan 11 2024

It was fine. Some nice jazzy bits but nothing particularly engaging.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 12 2024

Felt very 60s. My favorite track was the first, but overall felt like background music to me, nothing really exciting.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jan 14 2024

Was nice to listen to some AC/DC. Reminds me of hanging around my dad while he did stuff in the garage.

Jan 15 2024

This was a great album to work to. Not my favorite of the ambient music I've listened to, but a solid 4.5 nonetheless. I really enjoyed this one.

Jan 16 2024

Brings me back. Blowin in the wind was my favorite as a little kid, but listening to it now, I really like masters of war. Good stuff. I enjoy hearing a bob Dylan song every now and then but I can't say listening to a whole album is my thing

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 17 2024

It was fine, nice old-fashioned background music. The type of thing I'd hear in a walmart.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jan 18 2024

Very nice instrumental jazzy stuff. I liked this a lot.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 20 2024

Not my thing, but fine.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 23 2024

Not unbearable.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jan 24 2024

Very nice easy listening. I especially liked "August Day Song"

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Mar 31 2024

Quite liked this odd rock/orchestral/ambient situation. Strange in a way that's right up my alley.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 04 2024

It was nice to listen to some David Bowie, he's my mom's favorite. My favorite track on this one was Word on a Wing.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 06 2024

Not as bad as the last smashing pumpkins I listened to, but I still wanted it to end. Only listened to the first disc. A couple tracks were alright.

Infected by The The
Jun 16 2024

Not bad. Fun to listen to.

Jun 17 2024

I liked this one a lot! first track was my favorite.

Jun 19 2024

I like Mr. tambourine man, but man the rest of this kinda sucks. Either bob Dylan wrote one good song per album and was remembered well for it, or I just don't get it. I'm sure he'd have been a better poet.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jun 21 2024

Sounds like fooling around in the backyard while my stepdad blasts dated rock albums in the garage, complete with power tools. Noisy and forgettable. The last song was alright, but it's possible i was just glad to be done. I think it'd be a good album to listen to if you needed to stand near a lawnmower for a while.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Dec 20 2024

I don't care for this sort of music much, but it was the least obnoxious hip-hop adjacent thing I've listened to (apart from linkin park, if that counts) this seemed to contain at least a bit of musicality. I didn't turn it off, and that's a win. First half of black steel was quite nice, but the limited amount of lyrics overstayed their welcome. Rest of the album was forgettable and vulgar.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Dec 21 2024
Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Dec 22 2024

Pleasant to listen to, but it all blurs together. I don't understand the lyrics, so I'm sure I'm missing part of the puzzle. I can't help but think I'd really like this album if the songs were much shorter.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 23 2024

Wow. I don't think I've ever disliked pop music this much. Genuinely unpleasant to listen to. I thought Beyonce was pretty well-liked, but this is just not fun or interesting at all.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Dec 25 2024

A bit disappointing. The only song I'd heard from this was "drive" which I really like. The rest of the album is not very good at all. Oh well.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Dec 29 2024

I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the first few songs of this album, usually this isn't really my thing.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Dec 30 2024

Glad this moment was before my time. It's not unbearable but not enjoyable. Influential, sure. Millennials aren't hard to influence. I enjoyed Autumn Goodbye enough to be happy that I sat through this album. Solid 3. Interesting autotune X Mario Kart thing going on here. But I'd rather listen to the High School Musical soundtrack for this sound.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jan 16 2025

Pleasantly surprised by the first two tracks, about what I expected for the rest of the album.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 18 2025
Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 13 2025

I liked this a lot more than most music from its era. It aged well.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 14 2025

Some classics that I grew up hearing, fine to listen to, but not something I'd seek out.
