Popular Reviews

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour

It was a new experience for anyone who primarily listens to American or English music, and a good foot in the door.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

I wasn't jiving with this one. It was interesting, but not something I'd listen to regularly.

Revolver by Beatles

It's one of The Beatles best albums, containing some of their most iconic tracks. At the risk of sounding like every other 5 star review, it really marked a new era that had started to peak out during Rubber Soul, but really hit hard by Revolver. I honestly can't gush about it enough.

Soul Mining by The The

I didn't feel very strongly about this album.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah

I'm not a rap guy, but this is pretty good.

All Ratings (654)

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jan 19 2024

This is classic mid 70s metal. Kashmir is the best track but the rest still get you were you're going.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 22 2024

Not my go to, but not bad rock. I'd listen again.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 23 2024

This album was way chiller than I expected. I hadn't listened to much radio head before, so I was surprised at the said back tones of the music. Not bad.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jan 24 2024

If you're curious about how music shifted from the late 80s to early 90s this is pretty much it.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 25 2024

Look, it's Stevie Wonder. Superstition, Sunshine of my Life, I Believe. This album just gets it done.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 26 2024

While I wouldn't call this bad by any stretch of the margin, it didn't really click with me. I didn't even notice when the album looped back around to the first tracks.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 29 2024

Some good mid 90s grunge.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jan 30 2024

Some pretty heavy listening for my Monday morning. It definitely sets an energy level though. Solid guitar and pounding drums really elevate this album.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jan 31 2024

I'm almost too relaxed right now.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Feb 01 2024

I dont like hiphop and yet im still giving this album 5 stars. If you don't know, now you know.

Ctrl by SZA
Feb 02 2024

It's not bad, but I wasn't hooked.

American Idiot by Green Day
Feb 05 2024

This unironically is one of the best rock albums of the 2000s and problem the best protest album of that decade.

Feb 07 2024

"Time to Pretend" made me kind of nostalgic, for that reason 3 stars.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Feb 08 2024

You know, I really like classic rock. I like the tone, I like the musical instrumentation, I like the general vibes. I also like that the albums tend towards 36 minutes long so during say, a project to listen to 1001 albums, I'm not stuck on the same one for an hour and a half. About this album in particular, it rocks. What else is there to say. It's Alice Cooper.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Feb 09 2024

When I started listening to this my buddy told me about how one of the band members burnt down her cheating boyfriends house then got away without criminal prosecution. "Waterfalls" was the only song in this album I could've picked out from a lineup.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Feb 12 2024

During the mid 70s Bowie was moving away from his earlier glam rock work and found himself enthralled with the r&b scene in New York city. This is the point when he stopped dressing in spandex and started wearing loose fitting suits to emulate the culture around that music. It represented one of several major shifts he made in both visual, and more strikingly, audio style over his career. Cue running into John Lennon and a team up on the song "Fame" and you've got a strong album in what was Bowie's in a decade of strong albums.

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 13 2024

Look, this album is just good. Like really, genuinely good. Listen to the whole with nothing but a neat glass of bourbon keeping you company and be enthralled the entire time good.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Feb 14 2024

This is an example of one of those albums that lulls you into a sense of tranquility until you realize how dark the lyrics are. Pretty good all things considered.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Feb 15 2024

It was some nice easy listening. The only reason it doesn't stand out more to me is probably because the influences this album had on contemporary western artists at the time has resulted in the sound feeling less revolutionary to modern ears than it would've back then.

I was going to say this is an example of music from Bob Dylan's best era, but he had a lot of best eras so that's hard to narrow down. The only reason this is getting 4 stars instead of 5 is because I like the studio version of these songs better. Well, that and the electric half of the album being a bit weaker than the acoustic.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Feb 23 2024

I'm not feeling this one. If I wanted to listen to something inspired by Lynyrd Skynyrd I'd listen to Lynyrd Skynyrd. One star awarded back for some good political commentary

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 26 2024

This is some feel good music. My moods lifting just listening to it.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Feb 27 2024

This has got a nice soul sound and some complete classic tracks. 4 stars

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Feb 28 2024

This feels like a prime example of skatepark rock.

Feb 29 2024

This album was described as giving the feeling of a night in a jazz club and delivered that excellently

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Mar 01 2024

I like this album quite a bit, it's one I listened to semi frequently before I started the 1001 albums thing and it's one I'm going to continue listening to after. It's fascinating to listen to music from a birth of a genre and that's exactly what you get from 5th dimension with psychedelic rock. Tropes that would become staples are first taking shape here.

London Calling by The Clash
Mar 05 2024

One of my favorite albums and possibly the first punk rock album I listened to on repeat, which is ironic considering its much more than just a punk album. London Calling achieves what few albums can, it makes you want to check out the rest of the bands works based on this one experience.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 06 2024

You know, it was a pretty good listen.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 07 2024

I mentioned to my coworker that Rubber Soul was today's album and he asked me where I'd rank that among beatles albums. I told him that's tricky. I love the rolling stones, but there are some really bad rolling stones albums. I love David Bowie, but there are really bad David Bowie albums. There aren't bad Beatles albums. Rubber Soul came when the Beatles were transitioning from the earlier pop rock style to a more experimental kind of music. Let's just say it came out after they met Bob Dylan.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 08 2024

I kind of liked, "Lover l, you should've come over". Other than that I didn't click much with this album.

Boston by Boston
Mar 11 2024

I mean, this is a classic. There are some songs that can stop feeling special because you've heard them a million times. This album reminds me that they got played a million times because they are special.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 12 2024

Not much to say, Californication is just good.

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 13 2024

I mean, it's Abba. The soundtrack of my family roadtrips growing up when my mom had control of the radio.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Mar 14 2024

I'll often say I don't like country, but I like old country. This is old country.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 15 2024

I usually like folk music, but this one doing it for me in a major way. Very middle of the road.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 18 2024

Alot of soul, some jazz sensibilities, and excellent vocals. This is a solid album.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Mar 19 2024

One of my favorite albums a reason why the zombies have a spot in my top ten favorite bands of all time. It's honestly tragic to me that the zombies didn't get more financial success in the 60s and ended up spending much of the subsequent decades not officially together. This was a the album they left on, an album absolutely full of creativity and a sound uniquely there's.

For a British rock album, it feels pretty American, which of course there's constant cultural overlap in music but it still struck me as interesting.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 21 2024

I never get tired of Miles Davis.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 22 2024

An absolute banger of an album and possibly the best by any beatle in their post career. George Harrison's pent up creativity from his later beatle years is finally let out in a truly memorable double album.

Play by Moby
Mar 25 2024

I wasn't sure I was going to know anything off this album, then the first song started.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 27 2024

I mean, I love 7 Nation army if only because of the fact that it's one of the 5 five songs I ever learned on guitar, so points there.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 28 2024

This is a strange album that circled all the way to being engaging to me.

Soul Mining by The The
Mar 29 2024

I didn't feel very strongly about this album.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 01 2024

This album feels ahead of it's time, which for an album that came out in 1969 means it feels about mid 70s. It's got some groove and some soul that I can get down with.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Apr 02 2024

It's Exile on main Street, I mean, do I even need to justify giving this album 5 stars. It's one of the rolling stones best works and at double the length of a standard LP there's even more to love.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Apr 03 2024

Honestly. A pretty weird album. I liked it.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 04 2024

Generally a very good listening experience. Good energy, a heavy sound that isn't too intense as to be off-putting. Bonus points for the David Bowie cover.

Apr 05 2024

I love this album. I love its theatrical style, I love the songs themselves, I love how disjointed they can be from one to the other. I could bring up Freddy's vocals, but you already know.

Queen II by Queen
Apr 08 2024

Seven Seas of Rye is my favorite song off this album. It's generally quite good.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 09 2024

Some generally solid indy rock.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Apr 10 2024

This gives "doctors waiting room".

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Apr 11 2024

This was a bit strange. I think I'll stick with punk over post punk.

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 15 2024

One of the Berlin Trilogy albums, Heroes displays a Bowie doing what he does best, experimenting. The titular song of the album is the most well known and arguably the best, but that shouldn't discount the creativity on display throughout the rest of the tracks. While the first half of songs are more typical to what you might expect from Bowie in this era, the second half opens up to some atmospheric instrumental tracks that I really enjoy. All in all, a solid listen.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Apr 16 2024

What can I say about Taylor Swift that hasn't already been said. She's good at what she does and unlike many artist who perform the same genres of music, she has only gotten progressively better as her career has gone on. 1989 is a great pop album. The tracks when from new to iconic on a dime and several of them are going to be in the popular consciousness for years.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 17 2024

This album rocks, there's not much else to say.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Apr 18 2024

I hadn't heard any Brian Eno before this. It's pretty good, I might check out some more.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Apr 19 2024

I have no complaints about this album. A couple songs stood out I remember hearing a million times on the radio.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 22 2024

A classic album by Marvin Gaye

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 23 2024

A fantastic album. No notes

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 24 2024

I could say alotbabout how much I love this album, but instead I'm just going to give the hot take the "How Do You Sleep At Night" is rhe greatest dis track of all time.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 25 2024

I wasn't jiving with this one. It was interesting, but not something I'd listen to regularly.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Apr 26 2024

In general this was a pretty decent album.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 29 2024

I waited to write my review until the Monday after the Friday I listened to the album now I can't remember anything about it. That means it wasn't bad enough to get two stars but wasn't good enough to get four.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Apr 30 2024

I love the mama's and the papas so there's no way this was going to get less than four stars from me and with songs as iconic as "California Dreaming", there's no reason it should.

Teen Dream by Beach House
May 01 2024

Nothing about this album really popped out at me.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 02 2024

I'm not a rap guy, but this is pretty good.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 03 2024

A bit generic to be honest.

Marquee Moon by Television
May 06 2024

Not particularly memorable

...And Justice For All by Metallica
May 07 2024

This album absolutely shreds. It did the best thing an album can do, it left me thinking I need to listen to more Metallica.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 08 2024

I always love to hear some bob marely, and No Woman No Cry is an absolutely fantastic song.

Electric by The Cult
May 10 2024

Some reasonably good late 80s rock.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 13 2024

Arguably Billy Joel's best album. "The Stranger" really strikes alot of chords with me. The thematic elements, the inclusion of some of his finest songs from "Anthony's Song (moving out)" to "Vienna", the fact that the rollicking story of a song that is "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" was his attempt to emulate the beatles, there's a lot here I like.

Rio by Duran Duran
May 14 2024

While Duran Duran isn't my first choice to listen to, this album is full of absolute classics.

Aja by Steely Dan
May 15 2024

Generally enjoyable, not mind blowing.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
May 16 2024

I didn't find this one particularly memorable.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 17 2024

It's "Rumours", I can't say much about this album that hasn't been said. It's one of the best selling records in history and it deserves it.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 20 2024

Love some Janis Joplin.

This is the album that began my obsession with David Bowie's music. I bought it at a book store because I recognized the song "Starman" and figured if that was on there the rest ofnthe tracks had to be pretty good too. Ironically, it wasn't love at first listen. I played it once or twice right after getting it, but didn't immediately feel the magic. Cue a couple months later when something clicked in my brain and all of a sudden I had it playing daily. Then I began a deep dive of Bowie's discography that lasted the rest of that year and catapulted him to a firm spot in my top five artists. Needless to say after all that, I dig it.

Closer by Joy Division
May 22 2024

I'd never heard Joy Division before this, so it was a novel experience for me. All in all not terrible.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 23 2024

There's some really iconic music in here. You really get a sense that the 60s were starting to come grow up out of the 50s musical origins in these tracks

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
May 24 2024

I've often said I don't like country. But I do like old country.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
May 27 2024

Non offensive not memorable though.

May 28 2024

A couple memorable songs effectively lure a listener into hearing more Coldplay than whatever the radio decides to put on.

Hotel California by Eagles
May 29 2024

This is an absolutely classic piece of rock and roll. A couple of hits, a couple or tracks I haven't heard before, all good.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
May 30 2024

I've never much listened to Jethro Tull, I may listen to more after hearing this album.

Document by R.E.M.
Jun 04 2024

A couple of really solid songs make for an enjoyable listen even if alot of the tracks didn't resonate with me.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 05 2024

I mean, it's got "Sultans of Swing", who could ask for anything more?

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jun 06 2024

This album does a pretty good job telling stories through its songs and in-between bits, which I always appreciate.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jun 07 2024

I'm not even going to deny I'm a bit biased when giving this album 4 stars. There are some genuinely good tracks here, Paul was fresh of the beatles and looking to experiment a little bit. That meant there were also some ok tracks. I really like the album though, so four stars it is.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 11 2024

Nothing was really popping out for me on this one.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 14 2024

The velvet underground feels like something I should like more than I do, but I always feel just kind of meh when listening to it.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jun 17 2024

This album gets you from the first note on the titular song.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jun 18 2024

There were some good, recognizable songs here and some equally good ones I'd never heard before.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jun 19 2024

I genuinely like paul simon, so no surprise I enjoyed this album.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jun 20 2024

Honestly, I found this one to be a bit too generic to be memorable.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jun 21 2024

A generally enjoyable album with some versions of songs I like.

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 27 2024

An all time classic album.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 28 2024

It's alright, it didn't jump out at me that much though.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jul 01 2024

Oh. So that's where the soundtrack from every movie I grew up with came from.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 02 2024

It's alright

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 03 2024

I don't like country music, but I love this album. I can't really give a higher compliment.

Jul 04 2024

Genuinely well written rap. Rap will never be my favorite genre, but I recognize good when I hear it.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jul 09 2024

I like it, not much more complicated than that.

War by U2
Jul 10 2024

It's something I can listen to, but not something I'd pick out of a line up to listen to.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 12 2024

I mean, if I wanted to listen to german influenced experimental music from the late 70s I'd put on Bowie's Berlin trilogy

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 15 2024

I solid album that led to even greater ones down the line.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jul 16 2024

There are a lot of all time classics on this album. Even if the lyrics for "brown sugar" haven't aged well, the sound has.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jul 17 2024

Let me share something with you. I'd purposefully avoided listening to this album for a couple years now, not because I didn't think I'd enjoy it, but rather because I know I would. A few years ago I received a copy of Paul McCartney's RAM on vinyl for Christmas, an album I'd never heard before, and proceeded to pull my record player into the bathroom so I could drink beer in the shower while listening to it for the first time. Christmas of course being one of the two days a year I indulge in that most tantalizing of vices known as shower beer. I've been chasing the high of that morning ever since. I'd planned on not listening to The Wall in a similar fashion, which brings me back to my avoiding it for years. That said, engaging in the challenge of this app isn't about some personal goal of musically shangri-la, it's about hearing new music you otherwise might not have been exposed to due to your own biases. So, instead of listening to the wall for the first time on my terms, I listened at my desk at work at 7am before anyone else is usually in the office. It was spectacular.

Jul 19 2024

I mean, it's exactly as advertised. If I could give it 2.5 stars I would, because it's neither exceptionally wonderful or dreadfully bad. It is what it is.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jul 22 2024

A certified classic if I'd ever heard one, the only problem with this album is how short it is.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 24 2024

Well, it was something I'd never heard before, but I can't say it made a tremendous impression in the sea of albums on this list.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jul 25 2024

Alot of people might get annoyed if I call the sound of this album nostalgic, but it came out when I was five, so sue me.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 29 2024

Look, I properly love the doors. Having this album pop up basically prompted me to listen to three others by them right after. That's definitely worth 4 stars.

California by American Music Club
Jul 31 2024

It's alright, my only complaint has nothing to do with the music, just that I couldn't listen to it on spotify

Copper Blue by Sugar
Aug 01 2024

You know, it's amazing how many albums on this list I'm just kind of mid on

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Aug 02 2024

I was pleasantly surprised by this album. I'd never heard of it, had no expectations walking in, and found it a pretty good listen. It's got this nice hard rock feel that borders on grunge before grunge was a thing that just kind of works.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Aug 05 2024

I always love some johny cash and this album is no exception. Not quite as strong as Folsom, but still fantastic.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 06 2024

Now is probably a good time to confess to the class that I don't like Mr. Brightside

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Aug 07 2024

This is from that era after punk had hit the scene, but they weren't really sure what the next big wave of music was going to be and it shows.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 08 2024

It's weird and I'm here for it.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Aug 09 2024

Three stars for just the great dichotomy of the album jame and band name. Also because while I don't like modern country, I'll mess around with some old school country that hasn't forgotten it's blues roots yet.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Aug 12 2024

Is three stars too high for albums I feel indifferent to? Because I give a lot of albums I feel indifferent to three stars

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Aug 13 2024

OK, but this kind of slays. No expectations going in, and absolutely chuffed.

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 14 2024

Slayed? Is a question. The answer is yes.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Aug 15 2024

Look, this could be pretty much any elvis content and it's getting high marks. He's the king.

Aug 16 2024

A guy I know was so excited to hear I had hit this album. He said it was one of his all time favorites. I didn't have the heart to tell him I don't like techno.

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 19 2024

For an album called garbage by a group called garbage, it isn't garbage.

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 20 2024

The question: should you listen to this album? The answer: Yes

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Aug 21 2024

It's some pop music, that's all I've got to say really.

Infected by The The
Aug 22 2024

There's nothing inherently spooky about this album, and yet, it feels like it'd fit in well on a Halloween Playlist

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Aug 23 2024

This is one of my favorite Bowie albums, possibly my number 1 favorite. He didn't have his big break until Ziggy Stardust, but I can only imagine how thrilled his new fans were after discovering that album to realize he already had this gem in his backlog.

Dummy by Portishead
Aug 26 2024

Another one of those albums that I more or less enjoyed listening to, but didn't get a strong impression from.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Aug 27 2024

This was different in a good way

Be by Common
Aug 28 2024

This one didn't speak to me.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 29 2024

What can I say about this album? It starts out strong with "mothers little helper" then doesn't lose pace from there. It's got some of the earlier stones best tracks on it and it's probably what I'd play for someone if they hadn't ever heard much of the stones and I wanted to intro them to their work. Enough said.

Sep 02 2024

I was a pretty good listen, but falls into that category of I probably won't go out of my way to seek it out again.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Sep 04 2024

I keep forgetting I like the yardbirds and then every once in a while get something like this to remind me.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Sep 05 2024

This was an enjoyable listen. I might come back to Fiona Apple at some point.

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 06 2024

Another one of those, I can take it or leave it albums.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Sep 10 2024

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young hit just right every now and then. This was every now and then.

Diamond Life by Sade
Sep 11 2024

Not bad listening, but it almost felt a bit like waiting room music.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Sep 12 2024

I mean, it was as weird as the name suggested. Not my kind of weird though.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Sep 13 2024

I'm always here for the kinks, every day of the week

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 16 2024

I mean come on, it's Elvis. Who doesn't like Elvis?

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Sep 17 2024

So this is how I find out I don't like the Beastie Boys. Well, it was bound to happen eventually.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 18 2024

That was the best album named after a small island off the coast of Massachusetts I've ever heard.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 20 2024

This album is one of the all time greats. Everytime it comes across my path I have a great listen.

2112 by Rush
Sep 23 2024

Rush isn't my favorite band on the planet but by god they are good at what they attempt to acomplish.

Hms Fable by Shack
Sep 25 2024

Sort of mid, but that's not always a bad thing.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Sep 26 2024

The algorithm fed me two Ray Carles albums in one week, and I've got absolutely no problem with this.

Music by Madonna
Sep 27 2024

Turns out I don't like early 2000s pop style Madonna, who'd have guessed?

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 30 2024

This is a classic in all the right ways. Now if only the majority of the listening public could realize the song "born in the USA" is a protest song and not a patriotic anthem, it'd be perfect.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Oct 01 2024

Earth, Wind, & Fire is one of those groups that really does hit just right on occasion, but only on occasion.

Oct 02 2024

Kick out the jams was alright, but not really my jam. Still good enough for 3 stars though.

Arular by M.I.A.
Oct 03 2024

You know, not my favorite.

Black Metal by Venom
Oct 04 2024

I mean, it certainly was black metal.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Oct 07 2024

Not exactly my favorite album on the list so far.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 08 2024

Another fine album from Springsteen. Not my favorite of his discography, but a good listen nonetheless.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Oct 09 2024

I always like a bit of punk in my day.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Oct 10 2024

I kind of like this one, maybe it's because I'm listening to it in October so it just felt thematically right, but it's had a solid sound and we'll developed themes.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Oct 11 2024

Some 60s music I hadn't heard before, pretty good.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 15 2024

This album hits just right. Some really smooth listening.

Revolver by Beatles
Oct 16 2024

It's one of The Beatles best albums, containing some of their most iconic tracks. At the risk of sounding like every other 5 star review, it really marked a new era that had started to peak out during Rubber Soul, but really hit hard by Revolver. I honestly can't gush about it enough.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Oct 17 2024

I really have developed a love for Bob Dylan's music recently and this album is a fine example of some of his better work.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Oct 21 2024

I think this was my first experience with nine inch nails and, pretty solid

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Oct 22 2024

I took a rare day off work in late October just for myself, went from a long run, came back tired as a dog and collapsed on my couch. I opened this app and this album popped up. It's hard to really describe if you weren't here with me, but it fit this moment in time so well.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 23 2024

Another day, another album that I wouldn't object to if it came on the radio but probably wouldn't specifically seek out when trying to decide on what to listen to that day.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 24 2024

Now this is what I'm after. Something completely different than what I hear on the day to day. It's a pretty interesting combination of jazz with a unique flair from the more traditional Indian sounds included.

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 25 2024

This album did prompt me having to explain to somebody what phrenology was and why that's a cleverly ironic title for a hip hop album, so I got a free pass to be a know it all.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Oct 28 2024

This just felt kind of nostalgic for what my mom would have playing in the car during ling road trips.

Oct 29 2024

What can be said about this album that hasn't been said. It has some all time great tracks that have more than stood the test of time.

Calenture by The Triffids
Oct 30 2024

It was good, but in a nothing particularly stands out kind of way.

Oct 31 2024

I'm still not the biggest rap guy, but I recognize good when I hear it.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Nov 01 2024

Nothing to write home about, but still an enjoyable listen.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Nov 05 2024

I really do like guns n' roses and this album has always been a little special to me.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Nov 06 2024

Stevie Wonder always makes me smile.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Nov 07 2024

I mean, it's Mariah. It been in the public space for so long it makes me feel like I'm wandering a mall listening. That isn't exactly a bad thing.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Nov 08 2024

This was an enjoyable kind of weird.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Nov 11 2024

An enjoyable listen. It really feels like a solid representation of a mid 60s music

Nov 12 2024

This is one of those albums you hear about and think, "surely it can't live up to the hype". Then it does.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Nov 13 2024

This one was a surprise. I'd never heard of it before, but the creativity involved got my interest right from the start.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Nov 14 2024

Not my cup of tea

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Nov 19 2024

Curtis Mayfield did not have to go as hard as he did for a movie soundtrack, but we're all lucky he did.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Nov 20 2024

It's always a good day with Dolly

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Nov 21 2024

I wasn't really feeling this. It may have felt novel when it came out, but came off as a bit generic to my ears on this listen.

Nov 22 2024

I listened to this album through a busy morning, it didn't hit me too hard one way or the other, but kept me going, so that's worth 3 stars.

Nov 25 2024

Dark Side of the Moon is legendary for a reason. I have this thing we're I don't fully appreciate a good album the first time I hear it. The only time I've ever felt love at first listen was with the beatles, so I was initially a bit dismissive when I heard Dark Side, or really any Pink Floyd in general. The sounds they lay out early in the album seemed odd and hardly anything like what I would've considered a proper song. But then I listened to it again. And again. And again. Each subsequent listen let me pick up more bits and details. It let me really appreciate the tone the band created, the emotional tension they build up that is then released in all it's glory on the back half of the album. So yeah, 5 stars.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Nov 26 2024

Always love when zeppelin pops up on the list

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Nov 28 2024

Times like this I think to myself, I should really listen to more Alice Cooper

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 03 2024

I was surprised to recognize a song from this album. In general ite solid.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Dec 04 2024

There are some English bands that when you hear the first time you don't quite pick out a distinct English accent from the vocals so you can't immediately pin point where they're from. There are other English bands that have such a strong accent you can pinpoint their origin down to the county. This is the latter

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Dec 05 2024

Old country is good country

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Dec 06 2024

This would've been 4 stars but it had that early stereo technology trait of vocals in one ear instruments in the other that just doesn't work.

Green by R.E.M.
Dec 10 2024

It didn't wow me, but I enjoyed it.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Dec 11 2024

A really good folk album. It made me want to listen to early Bob Dylan.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Dec 12 2024

Not terribly memorable but still pretty good.

Dec 16 2024

Often referred to as the first concept album, or bare minimum an inspiration for more concept focused concept albums to come, "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" is a certified banger. What do the beatles do when they're tired of being the beatles? They slap on some marching band uniforms and they be someone else. And who can blame them? At this point in the 60s the beatles were already experiencing the back breaking weight of their own legacy, so the notion wanting to at least pretend to be a different ficticious group if only as a creative exercise made sense. At least it did to Paul McCartney, John Lennon never really like the idea, but then John didn't like alot of Paul's overarching album plans. As for the music itself, there's a little bit of everything that made the Beatles special in here. You've got some of their harder rock inclinations coming out with the title track, John lays out some psychedelic imagery "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", Paul gets to play some of hisbalways charming "granny music" with "When Im 64", George brings in Indian influences with "Withing You Without You", possibly the best textbook example of Paul and John's unique style differences is on display with "A Day in the Life", and "A Little Help from my Friends" is just the best Ringo song, I don't even think that's a controversial take. Tastes change as time progresses and this album no longer sits as number one on the rolling stones top albums of all time list, but there's a reason it's still in the top 20 despite most of the people who voted on placements being born after its release. This album is an all time banger.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Dec 17 2024

The more I hear depreche mode the more I'm like "I wouldn't be mad if this was on, but also I'm not putting it on"

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Dec 18 2024

This album left no impression on me, which is in some ways worse than a bad impression.

Dec 20 2024

Did I buy a vinyl of this album purely because of the songs I recognized from the buddy cop comedy "Hot Fuzz"? Yes. Was that one of my best album purchases? Also yes.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 25 2024

It's pretty solid

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Dec 30 2024

They really did fight those foos

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 01 2025

Smoooookkkkeee on the waaaater

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jan 02 2025

Very solid. The kind of album that makes you want to check out more of a bands works.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jan 03 2025

It's not my jam, but that doesn't mean it's not a good jam.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jan 06 2025

I've been on a major Bob Dylan kick lately and having The Band pop up on this feed just synergies really well with that. It's a great album by a great group with a terrible name.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jan 08 2025

Not bad, but it didn't make a tremendous impression on me.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jan 09 2025

This is one of those albums I always forget I like until I turn it on.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jan 10 2025

This had something good going on. It was too bad it was so short.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 14 2025

This album has so much going for it. CCR pretty much at the height of their career and they leave no crumbs.

Jan 15 2025

Some solid contemporary music. There's a whole vibe going on here.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jan 16 2025

Some mid 70s rock that delivers about what you'd expect it to. It's good, probably somebody's favorite, but just ok to me.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 20 2025

A real good sound. I enjoyed this one.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 21 2025

No major complaints, a pretty solid listen.

Cut by The Slits
Jan 23 2025

It was different, I'll give it that. Different in a good way even.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 24 2025

I did not understand I single one of the words sung in this metal album. 4 stars

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jan 28 2025

I always enjoy some jazz and this was no exception.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 03 2025

Absolutely great. Simon and Garfunkel never failed when it came to beautiful harmonies and captivating lyrics.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Feb 04 2025

We all get our thrills up on blueberry hill from time to time.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Feb 05 2025

It was a new experience for anyone who primarily listens to American or English music, and a good foot in the door.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 10 2025

It had a nice sound to it

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Feb 12 2025

I don't dislike slipknot, not my favorite though

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Feb 14 2025

A good listen

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 17 2025

Real nice listening

The Specials by The Specials
Feb 18 2025

Reasonably enjoyable

Make Yourself by Incubus
Feb 19 2025

That overly memorable on the first listen, but the kind of thing I might like more the more I here it

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Feb 20 2025

Another one of those albums that aren't my style but I'm glad I heard

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Feb 21 2025

Honestly, didn't expect to find nerd rap. It's alright

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 24 2025

This just something about this album. It bops

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 25 2025

Once of those tracks that I enjoy but in a background kind of way.

Feb 26 2025

Growing up after Ice T had shifted away from music it is a little wild to hear some genuinely good work from his early career

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 27 2025

Pretty solid, though I'm putting it in the "Nevermind" category of album covers I probably don't want on my phone while at work.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 04 2025

Turns out I kind of like Kendrick, who would've thought?

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Mar 07 2025

I kind of dug this one. Sort of folkish but more modern

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 11 2025

This album is just iconic. The kind of thing that makes you want to listen to more of an artists discography

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 12 2025

Love some Bob Marley

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 13 2025

ABBA is not my absolute favorite, but they are always a fun listen

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Mar 14 2025

Pretty chill, pretty good

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 17 2025

I really do like the temptations.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Mar 19 2025

Well, we can narrow down when Kanye went crazy between when he released College Dropout and this album.

Scum by Napalm Death
Mar 20 2025

I didn't understand a single word sung, so pretty good metal.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 21 2025

I'm sort of neutral on this one. It was by no means bad, it just didn't spark a ton to me.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Mar 24 2025

I like Joni Mitchell, but in doses.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Mar 26 2025

Pretty good. I didn't except the nod to bob dylan, but it was welcome.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Mar 27 2025

Pretty iconic album cover and good music.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 28 2025

Surrealistic Pillow is absolutely accurate, this album is very surreal and very comfy

Mar 31 2025

I've really grown to like Bob Dylan over the years. This album is a good example of his transitional period from folk to rock. He's not quite at Highway 61 revisited yet, but he's bringing it home

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 01 2025

Immigrant Song alone would net this album 4 stars, it helps the rest of the album also rocks.

Lost Souls by Doves
Apr 04 2025

Kind of good, but not super memorable

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Apr 07 2025

OK, this album is actually really chill in a great way. Go Willie go

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 08 2025

What did I do to deserve such an honor? I got two Willie Nelson albums in a row.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 09 2025

I don't know what it was about this album that just really didn't not vibe with me, maybe because it's more recent so I just hear more music like it in my day to day life, but it had a generic sound to me.

Suicide by Suicide
Apr 10 2025

I'll give it this, it had a unique vibe about it

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Apr 11 2025

I always love to hear Billie Holiday sing.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Apr 16 2025

Not bad

Apr 17 2025

This is a wild album that I don't properly have words in my vocabulary to describe, but I like it.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Apr 18 2025

I like Frampton, but I'm not crazy about this one

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 21 2025

It's alright

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 22 2025

Very chill, very relaxed. I good mood

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 25 2025

This one had an interesting vibe to it.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Apr 28 2025

Elvis Costello surprised me. It's a pretty solid album

Low by David Bowie
Apr 29 2025

A really solid album from Bowie's Berlin trilogy. Special highlights to "Sound and Vision" for being just a while vibe unto itself.

LP1 by FKA twigs
May 02 2025

It's alright.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
May 05 2025

Jimi gets it. His studio albums ate always such an experience.

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 07 2025

This had a sound to I don't hear often. It's a good listen

American Gothic by David Ackles
May 08 2025

There is a kind of banal melancholy about this album that is just kind of hitting right today. Like, I was having a depressive episode and this pulled me out of it.

Metallica by Metallica
May 13 2025

This album has some all time bangers on it. Worth re listening to.

Sea Change by Beck
May 14 2025

Very chill, very relaxed

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
May 15 2025

Pretty good

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 20 2025

I always love when jazz pops up on this list and Jazz Samba is no exception

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
May 21 2025

Could not understand half the things they said and in generally found the music kind of dull.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
May 29 2025

Good vibes

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 03 2025

Always a pleasure to get an album by sir Elton. Madman Across the Water isn't my favorite of his album, but it's top 3.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 04 2025

I often describe these albums of having chill vibes, but this one especially has chill vibes, plus the shear quantity.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jun 06 2025

A good sound

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 10 2025

Some good tunes by Zappa

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Maybe it's because it is beach season right now as I listen, but I can't get enough of these boys

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 17 2025

Solid sound from the White Stripes

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jun 19 2025

Pretty solid concert recording

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Jun 20 2025

Kendrick is pretty good, I think this was my first time going out of my way listening to his music and it leaves a good impression.

Debut by Björk
Jun 24 2025

Chill vibes from Björk

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 26 2025

A nice change of pace

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jun 30 2025

A good album from Stevie Wonder, not my favorite of his works, but still very good.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 01 2025

This album rocks

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 02 2025

This was certainly different. In a good way I think

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jul 08 2025

Meatloaf rocks, no question about it.

Odelay by Beck
Jul 14 2025

Beck is a bit of an odd duck, but still pretty good

Abraxas by Santana
Jul 15 2025

There's an undeniable vibe to this album that hits just right

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jul 16 2025

This was an interesting ride

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jul 17 2025

Another interesting album

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 22 2025

That lovely era of rock where you can barely understand a word said

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

RIP Ozzy. This album is one of Black Sabbath's best. Definitely worth coming back to.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jul 28 2025

Always like hearing the police... well the band, not the law enforcement so much

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 29 2025

Paul Simon really knocks it out of the park with this one

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 30 2025

Alright

xx by The xx
Aug 04 2025

Good vibes

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Aug 05 2025

A really interesting album for the era it came out in

Aug 06 2025

Good sound

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Aug 07 2025

I'm not the biggest techno fan

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 12 2025

What can I say about Abbey Road? It's one of the Beatles finest albums. It's filled with some of the best music they ever recorded and also Maxwell's Silver Hammer is there. Joking aside, the B side medley is legendary and created a high that many, including the beatles themselves I later post breakups solo albums couldn't hit again.

No Other by Gene Clark
Aug 19 2025

A pretty good vibe

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 20 2025

It has a different energy than a lot of what I listen too, not bad

Smash by The Offspring
Aug 21 2025

Solid

Solid Air by John Martyn
Aug 25 2025

Good vibes

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 26 2025

Fantastically done album by Springsteen

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Aug 29 2025

Genuinely solid. Not an everyday listen for me, but Lenny sings sweetly

Melodrama by Lorde
Sep 01 2025

Lorde is pretty good, I should listen to them more

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Sep 03 2025

I always love a good jazz album. It pulls me into a pleasant mood

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Sep 04 2025

T. Rex is one of those sleeper artists who I've never listened to much but always like more than I expected to when I do.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Sep 08 2025

An early prototype of the concept album. A real good listen too

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Sep 09 2025

Some genuine nostalgia fodder in here for me

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Sep 12 2025

Very chill

90 by 808 State
Sep 22 2025

Not bad

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Sep 23 2025

What can I say? Its Michael Jackson, the album slaps

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 24 2025

Its alright

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Sep 26 2025

This was actually quite and enjoyable listen

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 29 2025

Not a bad listen

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Sep 30 2025

Absolutely a banger. I never get tired of the doors

Cross by Justice
Oct 01 2025

Its a good sound

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 02 2025

A solid listen

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Oct 07 2025

Fairly enjoyable

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 08 2025

Can't get enough of Hank Hills cousin

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Oct 09 2025

Not my usual style but still pretty good

Gold by Ryan Adams
Oct 14 2025

It was an album

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Oct 15 2025

You know what, for as fun as it is to make fun of Randy Newman, he's not too bad at this

Street Life by The Crusaders
Oct 17 2025

Pretty solid

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Oct 24 2025

While I don't like this album quite as much as Back to Black, its still an incredibly good work of art

Oct 28 2025

I genuinely like The Byrds, even if half there claims to fame are Bob Dylan covers

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 29 2025

Pretty good

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 30 2025

Pretty solid

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Nov 05 2025

An absolute banger of an album. From the moment sympathy for the devil kicks on you get swept in.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Nov 06 2025

Fairly good

Recently I've developed a pretty good appreciation for The Kinks. What started with just a fascination with some of the songs I heard in the movie "Hot Fuzz" has really blossomed into full Fandom. It helps that Arthur is a concept album and I'm predispositioned to love any music with the faintest wiff of a narrative attached to it. The rough througline is right in the name as the album takes you through the highs of the Victorian era through the then modern day all with a bopping late 60s British invasion sound. I'll give a particular call out to the songs "Victoria", "Shangri-La", and "Mr Churchill says" as my three favorites on the album, though that last one less because I think it's a grand piece of music and more because its kind of silly and fun about a serious topic.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 17 2025

A very chill if occasionally melancholy listen

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 18 2025

A very solid album

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 19 2025

A fine listen

Leftism by Leftfield
Nov 24 2025

Its alright

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal

An interesting listen

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 01 2025

Muddy Waters is a true original. A classic in the best sense of the term. I like this album.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Dec 02 2025

A very chill and enjoyable listen

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Dec 04 2025

Really solid, genuinely quality 90s angst

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 11 2025

This is the album of a man who knows he's about to die.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Dec 12 2025

Pretty chill

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 15 2025

Fleetwood Mac has an undeniable style. Thats half of what makes a band great, just being able to hear a bit of their music and have no doubt its them.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Dec 16 2025

A surprisingly interesting album from the pre disco bee gees

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Dec 17 2025

Lovely as always

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Dec 19 2025

A pretty enjoyable romp

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Dec 30 2025

Pretty almighty

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jan 01 2026

An interesting one

Mask by Bauhaus
Jan 05 2026

Pretty solid

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 07 2026

Look, I like this music but maybe noy usually 4 stars like it. Except for the fact that Ace of Spades was my favorite track in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 and it bumps the whole album off nostalgia.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 12 2026

Fairly solid entry by Springsteen

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 14 2026

Look, it's perfection, it just is. When you talk about the Beatles sometimes people will shrug off their popularity and credit it solely to them being the first to do something, but in albums like this you can hear that its also because they took what was already up and coming and executed it excellently.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jan 15 2026

Not bad

Tommy by The Who
Jan 19 2026

This is a top tier concept album and I'm just love it. Obviously "Pinball Wizard" is an all time banger of a song, but the thematic flow of the rest of the album just works so well.

Tical by Method Man
Jan 28 2026

Not bad

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jan 29 2026

Solid

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 30 2026

Pretty good

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 03 2026

A lovely listen

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Feb 06 2026

An interesting listen. I don't usually hear much non american hip hop or rap

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Feb 12 2026

Not bad

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Feb 17 2026

Alright

OK by Talvin Singh
Feb 20 2026

Not bad

Country Life by Roxy Music
Feb 24 2026

Not bad. Bit awkward to open up spotify and see the NSFW album cover while at work, but pretty good music

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Feb 26 2026

This album has one iconic song and then the rest sort of felt like filler, so 3 stars

Sincere by Mj Cole
Mar 04 2026

Smooth listening

GI by Germs
Mar 05 2026

Pretty good

Mar 10 2026

A solid first album from pink floyd. Its melodic sounds and occasional weirdness proved a harbinger for things to come.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 16 2026

Solid

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 17 2026

Smooth listening

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 19 2026

This album was a favorite of mine before I had even really gotten old enough to develop a taste in music, it still slaps.

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 23 2026

When rock and roll first came onto the scene, recording technology would naturally have this distortion and slight roughness to sound. By the mid to late 60s you could get a really crisp sound and the expanding genres that encompass rock really took advantage. My first thought when listening to this album is that rock really did in a roundabout way return to that roughness, but on their terms, to continue to develop the genre.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 30 2026

A nice listen

Apr 08 2026

Brian Eno always has an interesting sound. Not something I'd listen to every day, but good

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Apr 09 2026

Clapton might be an ass, but he does make good music

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Apr 20 2026

I'm honestly tempted to give this album a higher rating feuled by the nostalgia of long car rides where my mom controlled the radio. If I could give partial stars it would get 3.5

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 23 2026

An interesting listen

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 24 2026

An interesting listen

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
May 06 2026

Chelsea Girl by Nico
May 08 2026

A very smooth and sultry album

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 14 2026

Mr. Blue you did it right

Guero by Beck
May 15 2026

Good

Destroyer by KISS
May 21 2026

Kiss is so fun, I'm never upset when their music gets put on.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
May 28 2026

An absolute all time banger of an album. Amy Winehouse nails it with this one.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
May 29 2026

I think this album cured my depression. Well, maybe thats a bit pf an exaggeration, but I can absolutely see it blowing some minds back when it first came out.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jun 01 2026

Bit heavy for my taste but quite good

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

An excellent and soothing listen

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 19 2026

This is just some good fun. Really puts a smile on your face

Jun 30 2026

An absolute classic bedrock piece of the genre. People who don't like hiphop or rap should still listen to this album so bare minimum they can be educated in their opinions.

Jul 09 2026

While I don't agree with the sentiment of the title, I do like the content

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 14 2026

I was in a stressed out mood when I listened to this album, and the tone of it kind of made me feel even worse. Good album though

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 16 2026

Pet Sounds is an album that really does live up to the reputation it has garnered. It's a band operating at their full potential in a rare way most bands never reach.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jul 20 2026

Alright

Jul 30 2026

No my favorite Byrds album, but I'm usually not big into country. Still good though and worth listening to.

The La's by The La's

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
