Movies by Holger Czukay

How to make "Movies" by Holger Czukay: 1. Start with a repeating backing track 2. Play every instrument at your disposal but only with your teeth. 3. Mush your face onto a soundboard as much as possible 4. Scream out in pain every once in a while for good measure 5. Enjoy

2112 by Rush

You want an album where one track takes up over half the runtime. Boy do I have news for you

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.

Good classic rap album with solid beats and lyrics. Some rhyme schemes end unsatisfyingly but overall good listen. 4 stars.

xx by The xx
Jan 11 2024

Mopey enough album that's not really that special. Probably takes a few listens to get into. Pretty decent. The intro is quite recognisable tho.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 12 2024

Despite not being my typical genre this album was very enjoyable. Fun songs with no woman no cry probably being my favourite overall. All in all pretty damn good.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 15 2024

Fucking class. THIS is good rock. Reelin' in the Years and Dirty Work πŸ”›πŸ”

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 16 2024

Honestly pretty repetitive album with similar songs playing over and over. Not one I'll go back to very often. Not even back in black itself could save it. Screechy

American Idiot by Green Day
Jan 17 2024

Brilliant album, some of the best transitions between songs I have encountered. Fun listen although not studied too in depth.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 18 2024

Decent little album, and when I say little I mean little. I quite enjoyed it and it's fun little songs. (First rating of new rating system so one star less than would usually give)

Cross by Justice
Jan 19 2024

Not all too familiar with the genre (electronic/dance), I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Genesis and Stress being some of the highlights personally.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 22 2024

Was slightly disappointed by this album hearing so many good things about gorillas. Stil decent but had higher expectations. No stand out track but would be good background music.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jan 23 2024

What can I say, it's Frank Sinatra. Songs that typically sound the same but are generally good enough to listen to. Not one I'd return to but I can see why this guy was slightly known.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 24 2024

Not my typical cup of tea but was listening to it through a storm so fit the part. 4 stars. (Hurt clears the other songs btw)

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 25 2024

Almost cut my hair and our house are the two things saving this album from a worse fate. A few of the songs aren't available on Spotify which was annoying but yk that's life. The less country-esque songs were where this album shines tbh. But the lows were too low to rate it higher. 3 stars

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 26 2024

How can you not give it 5 stars. It's ABBA with most of their hits. Not even a problem picking this one

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jan 29 2024

Expected worse tbh but this album does have their biggest hits. Not my favourite genre but the best I've heard it done. 4 stars.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 30 2024

Basic enough songs with not much listening value. Not enjoyable to the ear and offers nothing of substance. "Never is a Promise" is the only slightly redeemable song. 2 stars.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 31 2024

Music was good but the lyrics ranged from alright to atrocious at times. Picked up in the second half but if I wanted to hear so much moaning I'd meet with Coilin's mother. 3 stars.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Feb 01 2024

Great listenability. Not one noticeable bad song within. Mrs Robinson being sexy as always. 4 stars.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Feb 05 2024

Pretty good toons. Funky ass songs that feel like a fever dream. Once in a lifetime is a highlight but the ending is a bit disappointing. 4 stars.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Feb 06 2024

Music sounds good but album has very little substance to me. Boring listen especially since it's an hour long.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 07 2024

Good classic rap album with solid beats and lyrics. Some rhyme schemes end unsatisfyingly but overall good listen. 4 stars.

Feb 08 2024

My thoughts: - Why does he talk so much? - Wanking jokes. Lol. - Better off Without a Wife = Good 3 stars

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Feb 09 2024

The guitar of the intro gave me hope but then the song was pretty bad, thought the "speaking with rhythm" was gonna be a more prominent feature but thank got it wasn't. The songs from there ranged from ok to great with the latter half of the album being generally better. Funky ending too. 4 stars.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 12 2024

Pretty darn good, makes me feel like a 70 year old African American. 4 stars.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 13 2024

Decent album with easily listenability. Allison was a personal highlight. 4 stars.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 14 2024

I mean it's dire straits AND it's has money for nothing. 5 stars

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Feb 15 2024

Very generic music for the time. They repeat the same lines over and over for every song. Music is alright but all sounds the same. 3 stars.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Feb 16 2024

I have very little to say about this. Ok to listen to but nothing special.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 19 2024

Probably one of the best live performances recorded ever. Bit long tho. 4 stars.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 20 2024

Very high quality album. Only the last song slightly disappointed me but was made up with the amount of bangers.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle MonΓ‘e
Feb 21 2024

One of the most versatile artists I've encountered so far. Felt like I heard 5 different genres and she did damn good in all of them.

Movies by Holger Czukay

Spiderland by Slint
Feb 23 2024

Boring album with one or two ok-ish songs but doesn't redeem it at all. 2 stars.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 26 2024

Simple album. Most songs are forgettable and nothing too special. Wasn't a bad listen or too great of one just between ok and good. Jackass and ramshackle are probably my favourites. 3 stars.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Feb 27 2024

I mean the music is decent but no lyrics make it quite boring to listen to. Not quite my style either. 2 stars.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Feb 28 2024

Decent but not particularly memorable. Some songs are slightly better than others but it's a consistent 3 stars.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Feb 29 2024

Initially considered it poor but grew on me as it went on. 4 stars.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 01 2024

2 comments: 1. "Take a load off your feet sounds like a PSA from sesame street 2. "Student Demonstration Time" is leagues above the other songs, it's not even a fair 4 stars

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 04 2024

Good album πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘„πŸ‘οΈ πŸ‘‰πŸ‘ˆ

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Mar 05 2024

Some badass lyrics. Can't help thinking I'm listening to a very religious batman tho. 3 stars.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 06 2024

Generic classic rock album with good music and simple lyrics. 3 stars

Roots by Sepultura
Mar 08 2024

God, death metal is awful. POV: you face an angry sheep ("Spit" 2:19)

2112 by Rush

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 14 2024

Album quality declined towards the end but it had some good songs and great musical showcase.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 15 2024

Consistent good album. Makes me wanna play the lotto. 4 stars

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 18 2024

Started off strong and kept that pace for most of the album. Had one or two that didn't quite stand up to the quality of the others but overall pretty good. 4 stars

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Mar 19 2024

Album has some great songs but I can't help think it's being sung by sherry and Terry from the Simpsons

Mar 21 2024

Had high expectations when going in but was let down, too many odd choices when it came to the music

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 25 2024

Good album that suffers from being a bit too long and repetitive.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Mar 27 2024

Good at what he does, I'm just not interested in what he does.

Phrenology by The Roots
Mar 28 2024

Album would have been much better if one or two of the lesser tracks were taken off as it dragged on a bit.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 29 2024

I see why these guys were pretty popular.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 01 2024

Fucking mood

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Apr 03 2024

Alright album with no stand out moments, just quite forgettable

The Man Who by Travis
Apr 04 2024

One of those albums where u go in not expecting much but are pleasantly surprised

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 08 2024

Adequate album

The Score by Fugees
Apr 09 2024

Good ass tracks in this one.

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 10 2024

One to revisit again

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Apr 11 2024

Between a 3 and a 4 here. Most of the music in this album is amazing while the lyrics are questionable at times. Some tracks are also a bit lackluster and I thing they could be cut out, but overall a vibe.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Apr 18 2024

Music is alright but these guys are seriously unfunny with their live stuff

Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 19 2024

Decent music while not being entirely memorable.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 22 2024

Funky

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Apr 23 2024

Pretty good, some lesser tracks but overall enjoyable

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 24 2024

Quite a good album showing off the hee hee man's talents
