Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 08 2024

I just simply do not like Radiohead. Pyramid Song was ok. Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors is garbage, as is the rest of it

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 09 2024

Homeward Bound got added to playlists. Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine is not my favorite. The Dangling Conversation is depressing and beautiful

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 10 2024

Mixing feels weird. Certain instruments are way louder than vocals. Mellow and hit or miss. Venus in Furs is a big miss

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 11 2024

Track 8 was actually very relatable, because I Do Not Want This. March of the Pigs was trying so hard to be a good song, but the singer and guitarist had to insert themselves. Hurt also became very relatable by the end

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 12 2024

Not as "metal" as I expected. Which also means not as bad. I really don't like the vocals though, but the drums are great, and I'm a drum fan first and foremost. I hate to be the "it all sounds the same" person, but I would believe that this was a 40 minute concept art piece instead of 8 separate songs

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 15 2024

I mean it was always gonna be overrated, but it's pretty good. PYT and Billie Jean are the highlights, first song was good too. I think the title track is not great but it's not horrible

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 16 2024

Pretty good. Although the only bangers were the ones I already knew

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jan 17 2024

I mean, it's fine. It's kind of 80s Prince-y. But nothing really stood out good or bad

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 18 2024

Black Cow is solid. The rest is a little boring but not terrible

Jan 19 2024

I feel bad that I don't have stronger feelings on this. It's fine background music, but I probably wouldn't listen to it with focus

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jan 22 2024

I can't look at Sympathy without thinking it's a generic choice for introducing a bad guy character or specifically Satan. The album is solid. Street Fighting Man is the standout. Factory Girl was the surprise banger. I'd heard it before but didn't "know" it

Jan 23 2024

I'm too white for this, I know that, but this is the only time I'll mention it. Bring Da Ruckus is a god-tier opening track. I'm not hearing a ton of lyrics bc I'm working, but the beats are so fucking good. Tearz is the best song and best beat

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 24 2024

You've got to remember that these are just sad UK people in the 90s. A not-overplayed Oasis. A Scottish version of Blur. Coldplay without the mainstream exposure. You know, garbage.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 25 2024

1800s British sailors but if they make music that was boring to listen to

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 26 2024

I do not like Brucey but I listened to U Springin' Springsteen on My Bean? instead, which is much better than the actual music. 41 Shots was cool bc ACAB but it's not something to listen to in my free time. This album can basically be summed up as "bad music, cool guy"

The Bends by Radiohead
Jan 29 2024

I still don't like Radiohead but at least this is better than the other album I heard. My Iron Lung and Fade Out suck. Bullet Proof is ok

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 30 2024

I hate that my biggest compliment to most of these is that it's short. This isn't terrible but I've heard it all a million times and it's not my type of music. Panama especially I've just heard so much I can't stand it. Top Jimmy is probably the best song. Girl Gone Bad was surprisingly good, esp since i hadn't heard it

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jan 31 2024

Completely new and unfamiliar to me. Folk-jazz is great, turns out. Dream Letter is the best song, a sad apology from a deadbeat dad

Be by Common
Feb 01 2024

Ahh, takes me back to my Kanye days. Common is really good, he knows how to flow, the beats are laid back and easy to vibe to. I think the social-conscious rap can sometimes be cheesy though, like Faithful. But Be, GO!, are good

Feb 02 2024

Oh hey it's all the folk covers I've heard. Blowing in the Wind is a great song. Masters of War reminds me of the Lisa Simpson union song for some reason. My one complaint is it's a bit repetitive

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 05 2024

These girls... Dare I say... They've got the beat. But fr they're really catchy. Tonite, Lust to Love, We Got the Beat, Fading Fast

Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 06 2024

I want to call Seven Nation Army overplayed, and it is, but it's also just so good. The rest is good but nothing really stands out. The last song is actually pretty fun, I like calmer Jack White

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Feb 07 2024

I was not expecting jazz, but hell yeah. I've heard Birdland before and it's great. A Remark You Made might be the smoothest jam of all time. The whole thing is less-techy Vulfpeck or CASIOPEA vibes

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Feb 08 2024

Santa Cruz and Big Sur are solid. I like the sort of California Folk, less depressed Elliot Smith vibe, but it's not on every song

Sound Affects by The Jam
Feb 09 2024

It's ok rock, but I feel like i can't hear the lyrics. This sounds weird, but like it's really good music to vibe to, but the closer I listen, the less I like it

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 12 2024

I'm surprised it's 1977. It sounds like it's a 60s revival from the 80s. I like it. I wouldn't go so far as to say weird, but it's different. Actually it kind of goes back and forth, a few songs are kind of standard and boring

Feb 13 2024

It's just beats. No lyrics, other than like sampled repeated lines. Who cares. Boring.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Feb 14 2024

Just wasn't feeling it
