My Generation by The Who

Okay, it's The Who. Its a classic. I get it. But I do not feel changed, nor do I feel I absolutely needed to listen to that.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

Did I just enjoy listening to a german construction site ? Yes. Maybe. Probably. Well, I'm still not sure how to feel, but at least it made me feel something, it's really bold, conveys a purpose, and is not another piece of boring bland generic pop/rock music as is so often the case in this selection of albums. I discovered something, and I'm glad I did.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

An excellent surprise, varied influences, some groove, a good listen.

S&M by Metallica
Feb 19 2024
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 20 2024

Refreshing, chill.

Melodrama by Lorde
Feb 22 2024

Noice. The voice, the vibes, the originality.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 23 2024

Old school, some good riffs sprinkled across. The lyrics did *not* age well.

Feb 26 2024

Some riffs are good. Like real good. But... I can't stand Bellamy's voice. And the majority of it feels like a reheated mash-up of not even digested inspirations.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 27 2024

Honestly, boring.

Mar 01 2024

Wow. I added a few points because of... nostalgia, and maybe the fact that Korn were some kind of precursors, but this album has aged. Some good riffs, maybe two good songs in total, but the rest is disappointing. This should be considered as a stepping stone, that gave birth to new, nice things in metal, but this also should stay in the past.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 29 2024

I did not know his discography well, but it's a catchy record, with a nice blend of funk, pop, disco and r&b, I was pleasantly surprised.

May 01 2024

I do love me some prog rock. And this is kinda quitessential.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 02 2024

Not as "experimental" as I anticipated. She has a nice voice, and the album has nice vibes.

Among The Living by Anthrax
May 03 2024

I could not even listen until the end. And I usually love metal. But well. Not this kind apparently, feels like redneck metal somehow.

Bossanova by Pixies
May 06 2024

Is okay. The singing is a bit raspy.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 07 2024

Some good parts and ideas, but this is all over the place, and lacks cohesion. This is way too long for what feels like throwing things to a wall and see if it sticks.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
May 09 2024

An excellent surprise, varied influences, some groove, a good listen.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
May 10 2024

For once, a classic I thoroughly enjoyed !

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 14 2024

I really can't stand reggae, sorry Bob. I'll rate 2 because that's just a matter of personal taste, and there are MUCH WORSE stuff on this list.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 15 2024

Kind of okay. Great flow, clean prod, not sure about the rest.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 17 2024

Again some 70s classic stuff, I'm still not sold, I'm still bored.

My Generation by The Who
May 20 2024

Okay, it's The Who. Its a classic. I get it. But I do not feel changed, nor do I feel I absolutely needed to listen to that.

Low by David Bowie
May 21 2024

Nice ambient/electronica sound, Bowie never ceases to surprise, with each record different from the other, yet distinctly Bowie.

Third by Portishead
May 23 2024

Damn I almost died of boredom ! A meager hope came with the last three songs, but did not manage to wake me up fully.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
May 24 2024

I... don't really know what to think. It's a nice ambient music ? To listen when doing other things maybe.

The Cars by The Cars
May 27 2024

Blah blah blah 80s classic rock blah blah blah again blah blah blah some bangers but still not transcended.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
May 28 2024

Another great album for Led Zeppelin, with great diversity. The second half of the album is not on the same level as the first, but still as good (or even better) as most of the classic rock this list has to offer. If I wanted to nitpick, I'd say this is a 3.8.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
May 29 2024

Some folk. Nice, but forgettable.
