...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears

eeeeeeh, I do NOT like this cover art. It almost caused a jump-scare when I opened the new album for today. What is with the creepy glowing white teeth and eyes?? And such a (unironic) pervy vibe. ew While this album has a mildly pleasant nostalgic feel, I have the impression that this is where the next 20 (plus or minus) years of awful "girl singer" pop music has its roots. I have to think that is what made the radio un-listenable and broke pop music in America. I might give this two stars, but I'm going for a one because of the paedo undertones, the faky-ness, and the bad precedent

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Wow. Cohen's voice is haunting. This gives me chills. What a beautiful way to deal with pain and say good bye to the world.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jan 05 2024

Generally enjoyable. Between a 3 and 4 for me.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 08 2024

Haha I do enjoy me some cowbell

xx by The xx
Jan 09 2024

I didn't think I was liking this one until I gradually realized that I did. Gentle and relaxing. Again, hard to decide how many stars

Didn't love it, didn't hate it. I really like This Mess We're In. None of the songs sound alike, which is refreshing after some of the recent albums.

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 11 2024

Lots of talent on here, makes even metal listenable. A couple of songs that are part of American culture.

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 15 2024

The world wouldn't be the same without it, although I have to think that Revolution 9 is the Beatles thinking they have such god status that people will just listen to any old noise they happen to make haha

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 17 2024

I don't get it. Am I missing something? This is an album I needed to listen to before I die?

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jan 18 2024

I started this album excited, thinking it was going to be a fun one, but I just didn't find it to be very entertaining

S&M by Metallica
Jan 22 2024

This was a brilliant concept, something super cool that I didn't know existed. I loved the symphony and Metallica together and it was interesting and impressive to hear how well it works. I am happy to be introduced to this. Sadly, it still wasn't enough for me to enjoy sitting through TWO HOURS AND THIRTEEN MINUTES of this live, heavy metal album.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 23 2024

I saw Fleetwood Mac come up and was immediately excited. Then I started listening and thought, maybe these songs are too tired and dated, maybe not as good as I thought, overused. But then I got to the end and said , "I need to listen to this again. Right now"

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jan 24 2024

Meh. There is certainly talent here, but I don't like the albums composition. It feels like a sampler, going in some weird directions. And IMO Hendrix does this style of blues better.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jan 25 2024

A big dose of the 1980's! Fun stuff. I was sure I was going to give this one a solid 4 stars, but then Cindi lost me a little towards the middle/end. She finished it off with some good fun though, so...

Jan 26 2024

groooooohvvy I'm right there in the smoke filled room and thinking about slipping the bass player my number

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jan 31 2024

I am happy to be exposed to this album. It is something that I would never have come across if not for this album generator. Tim Buckley has an amazing voice and interesting arrangements, the lyrics seem poetic. I liked the first half of the album more than the second. While I appreciated hearing this, I didn't particularly care for it. I planned to rate at 3 stars, but the final few songs just didn't appeal to me.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Feb 01 2024

I expected to like this more, I'm barely able to give it a three

Feb 02 2024

This is a refreshing break from the amount of classic rock albums lately. I'm excited to be introduced to something completely different. Maybe that is causing an unfair bias, but I can't resist giving this one a five. Woohoo! being forced to listen to music just got fun again

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 05 2024

the only song I would listen to on here is Hallelujah whenever a song came on and I thought, OK, maybe I like this one, Buckley would do something in the song that made me cringe no thank you

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Feb 06 2024

I kinda hate having to rate all these albums. I end up agonizing over the stars on so many of them. Even if strictly considering "personal preference", there are just too many factors: what mood I'm in, what time of day it is when I listen, how hectic or calm my day happens to be, which albums I've already had earlier in the week, how familiar or unfamiliar the album is... Today, I am giving this one a three. A different day, I think I would likely give it a four. A different month or year, it is possible that I could even give it a five

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Feb 07 2024

Dreary. But works with the right mood

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Feb 08 2024

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 14 2024

Sorry Lisa, I really don't care for or understand this kind of music. It just sounds like discord to my ears.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Feb 15 2024

I do really like some of the songs on here, but I wouldn't care to listen to the whole album again. Another reviewer commented that this album was perfect for driving on the open road/back roads. I completely agree that it is well suited to a country drive.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 20 2024
Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 21 2024

Very pleasant for nighttime sick crocheting. So so relieved that I didn't get Deep Purple or Korn tonight
