The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 27 2024

surprised at not hating this, despite my lifelong disdain for stone roses

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 28 2024

just incredible feat of cross-culture music-making, as well as being full of bangers

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Mar 01 2024

a new one! very cool very chill. great vibes to this as well as great musicianship

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 04 2024

what a voice. so warm and smooth. like a gentle hug

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Mar 05 2024

got some real bangers in it, and love the aesthetic of the whole thing. sounds like music made by factory mechanisms. but sometimes it was a little too stylistic, it could fade into thumps and clangs too often

Blur by Blur
Mar 06 2024

SUCH good britpop. feels of the moment, but also timeless. good solid album

Mar 07 2024

so eclectic, i could barely keep track. i'd place one genre and then it'd move on swiftly to something else. all incredibly striking musicianship though, i enjoyed it a lot

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 08 2024

one of my all-time fav bands, so insta-5 star for me. unreal voice, unreal lyricism, unreal musicianship. love these boyz

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Mar 11 2024

very beastie boys. not entirely my thing but i respect what they're doing

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 12 2024

wish i hadn't got this and ill communication back-to-back, because they kind of just blended into one another. did find this one more fun though! felt like you could hear their joy through the record

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Mar 13 2024

this is SO beatles, so that endeared me to it no end. loved the jaunty wee numbers, v melodic and cohesive. good shit

liked this at the time, but now can't really remember much about it. doesn't quite have the staying power for me

Apr 02 2024

LOVED this! wasn't on spotify so had to youtube it and am so glad i did. unreal funk beats, so smooth, so clean, so joyous. just had so much fun with this. title track especially is an incredible ear worm, doesn't feel like seven and a half minutes at all. need this on spotify !!!

beautiful words and hushed whispers and guitar melodies

xx by The xx
Apr 22 2024

good production and actual musicality but those voices man. so dull. ruin the vibe completely. they sound like they'd rather be somewhere else, telling a bored person at a party about how actually they think everyone's mind and spiritual wellbeing would benefit from doing acid

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 10 2024

not for me. the music is fine but billy corgan's voice grates. and also the music is something way too melodramatic too
