Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 24 2024

Way better than I thought. Versatile and catchy. Quite unique as well

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 25 2024

Quite derivative. Every song sounds the same. Same tempo, same feel, same tone. Different lyrics

Purple Rain by Prince
Feb 27 2024

Pretty good, but as a whole album. Only 3 stars for me

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Feb 28 2024

Only 2 tracks available

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 29 2024

Awesome. Dynamic and great to listen to!

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 01 2024

Not what I was expecting from Led Zeppelin, but pretty good none the less

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 02 2024

Such a dynamic and versatile album

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 17 2024

Great vocal delivery here. Something we don't see much these days. Exceeded my expectations.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 20 2024

Great album. Slow paced, relaxing. Great when driving

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 22 2024
OK by Talvin Singh
Mar 28 2024
3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Mar 30 2024
Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 31 2024
Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Apr 05 2024

Sounds old school af. Catchy hooks and choruses that sneak up behind you with a small rock and hit you in the head!

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Apr 06 2024

The lyrics sound like thoughts from a Horror Movie villains mind. Really disturbing, especially as they are spoken from the artist’s perspective (yes, I’m aware “Slim Shady” is his Alter Ego).

The La's by The La's
Apr 08 2024

Like a cross between the beetles and the kinks (depending on the song). If you want to listen to something different, listen to this.

Apr 10 2024

My biggest criticism is that it was difficult to understand what he was saying. Given rap is mainly about the “message”, it seems pointless when many don’t understand your words. Not sure if it was the way it was recorded or the way he speaks. Musically it was good in places, others it was boring. It was good to hear his fathers poem on here.

Apr 11 2024

This is so much better than I remembered. Flawlessly performed. Recommend watching on YouTube, there’s a lot of extra details you miss merely listening to the audio.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 12 2024

This is truly awesome

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Apr 13 2024

Some of the tracks sounded like unplanned jam sessions.

Sulk by The Associates
Apr 14 2024

This was so hard to listen to. Perhaps I don’t understand this music. It sounds like some guys messing around in the studio making songs on the fly. The odd timing of the drums sounds like “mistakes” as they are played at odd and infrequent times. One song sounded like the singing was recorded without any backing track whatsoever, then simply layered over some music. Maybe it just went over my head

Atomizer by Big Black
Apr 15 2024

Couldn’t listen, wasn’t available on Spotify

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Apr 23 2024

Super repetitive, boring and overrated.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 29 2024
Space Ritual by Hawkwind
May 03 2024

Terrible live playing. The bass speeds up and slows down constantly. Probably fine for people who can’t hear that I guess

Harvest by Neil Young
May 07 2024
Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 08 2024

Pretty average

S&M by Metallica
May 17 2024
Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
May 23 2024

This is definitely an acquired taste, I do not have. I’d recommend listening to their album “American Beauty” from 1970 instead.
