Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 30 2024

A lot of classic songs. Instantly catchy and infectious production and lyrics. Classic on all fronts.

Jan 31 2024

Its pretty okay not amazing by any means. Might need to give a relisten at some point soon. I understand the appeal but it defiantly fizzles out near the end.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Feb 01 2024

banger after banger with great production through out. Also I find that the interludes add a lot compared to other albums.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 02 2024

Chill af to say it in simple terms. Never heard of this album or the band before being given this album to listen to. But it sounds instantly familiar and sounds like I have grown up with it. Very disappointed this isn't talked about that much online. They have sold tens of millions of albums across the world. Seems like one of those groups who have been left out of this modern age of music discourse. This age of music discourse is very meme-able with the same albums being brought up over and over again and people being pretentious. And "Cloud Nine" doesn't fit into those molds being made by the community. Is it a masterpiece? No, I wouldn't say so; it's missing the special touch or oomph factor even though it doesn't have any bad tracks. But it is still at this point a hidden gem. I hate using that word but I feel that it is necessary for this description.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 03 2024

it’s a great album though it is only covers. That is what caps this for me.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 06 2024

there’s better radio head albumsss ahhhh

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 07 2024

The singles out shine most of the deep cuts. Wish there were half scores on this website but officially unofficially this album is like a 5/10 maybe a 6/10 if I'm feeling nice. Gorillaz later work Demon days, Plastic Beach and Song machine are much better. Its definitely not their worse by any means but less special, repetitive, and has one big stinker right in the middle "Double Bass." Iconic Album but outshined. P.S. Love the cover

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Feb 08 2024

classical cross over ahhhhh it’s good enough

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 10 2024

Great writing and great production. I looked this album up and apparently this was a major comeback record. Pretty cool.

Pornography by The Cure
Feb 11 2024

First Cure album and this is pretty good. Dark and twisted but with out the context of other albums in their discography i can’t tell if this is my favorite sonic style for them.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 13 2024

forgot the iggy and the stooges existed. one of the better rock albums of this time. iggy mix is nice and heavy can see how this is influential

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Feb 14 2024

kinda cool at times the long songs drag

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 15 2024

not that interesting of an album but it’s ight

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 18 2024

probably maybe the beet beatles album.

Synchronicity by The Police
Feb 19 2024

I didn’t really care for the first half on first listen. Will probably go back to it because there were some interesting ideas on this.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 20 2024

This is pretty great.

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 21 2024

Just uninteresting to me. It’s not even not bad but it’s to embracive to be considered background music. not for me

Feb 22 2024

Its too solo albums stitched together. That is is a well known fact. Too long with many skits i find that are too long on both sides.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Feb 23 2024

pretty good yeah

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 24 2024

First time listening to hendrix. This guy is pretty good

The Band by The Band
Feb 26 2024

pretty good folk and country tunes. just some songs drag a little

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 27 2024

What I've been told is the last great Arcade Fire album. Its not as good as the debut in my opinion but still worth the listen. TOo long

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Feb 29 2024

it got boring near the end but still has some decent songs

Mar 02 2024

Not really my thing. Queen has been with me my entire life my parents listened to them often in the car and in the house. But none of this is interesting or new to me and the aesthetics of it haven't really aged that well to me.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 03 2024

Goddamn snore fest bro

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 05 2024

I expected to like it but not this much!!!!! 9/10

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 23 2024

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 23 2024

Apr 24 2024

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Jun 23 2024

it’s not bad but isn’t for me right now.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jun 24 2024

probably the most variety of sounds i’ve heard in one album. But the song writing really isn’t up there with the production.

Jun 28 2024

It feels like music that would play as a theme of an early 2000s kids tv show most of the time.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jun 30 2024

really just a novelty at this point but it’s a decent novelty

Smash by The Offspring

90 by 808 State
Aug 25 2024

Aug 27 2024

staring death to in the face

Traffic by Traffic
Aug 28 2024

has not impacted anything about my day

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Aug 29 2024

its okay really just glorified demos from an unfinished album. But there are some good ideas with just a boring slump of songs in the middle section

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Aug 30 2024

its a snap shot in time more of a collection of songs and covers than a real "album"

Aug 31 2024

its really okay with a few good songs and many meh songs that I will probably never come back to

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 01 2024

Oct 04 2024

Oct 10 2024

nothing special nowadays

Moondance by Van Morrison

xx by The xx
Oct 23 2024

Its a grower I have passively listened to tracks of this for a few years now and this is my first visit to the full album since my initial listen. It works beautifully together with great production

Elastica by Elastica
Oct 24 2024

pretty neat

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Oct 27 2024

There is a reason this album which is one of the best selling albums of all time is not talked about in today's modern music landscape. It has aged terribly and does not hold the same longevity as its contemporaries have

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 29 2024

classic best pop-punk album ever

Dog Man Star by Suede
Oct 30 2024

not as good as self titled but still some good brit pop

Nov 05 2024

might be his best

Nov 06 2024

a step down from the last album

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

Odelay by Beck
Nov 09 2024

ight

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 10 2024

I can see why this is a cultural touchstone for so many people, but it was not original in its commentary then, especially now. The songs are annoying at times, and the catchy hooks lose their pazazz after the constant repeating of them. the strongest point of this album is the start where all the big singles are and a couple more near the end.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Nov 12 2024

a decent solo debut

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