Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 28 2024
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 07 2024
Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 15 2024

4.5. A perfect album has to have no skips. This one has one.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Mar 16 2024

Good album, no skips. Just no HOLY SHIT moments that a 5 requires

Tical by Method Man
Mar 18 2024
The Predator by Ice Cube
Mar 21 2024

4.5. Very good, just not on the level of DC.

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

Either super boring or super cool laid back spaced out baked shit depending on your mindset and setting. Worth it if youre chilled out

1999 by Prince
Mar 26 2024

Phenomenal album. Would be a 5 without “Something in the Water”. Funky, poppy, pornographic shit. Extremely infectious and catchy. “Lady Cab Driver” goes crazy!!!

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Mar 30 2024

Really want to give it a 5, but due to a few songs on this LONG album I cant. But the rest are standout, feel good, amazing tunes with spectacular guitar work. 4.5 forsure. Heavily recommend.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Apr 01 2024

Awful. Why would anyone finish listening to this. I had to turn it off.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Apr 03 2024
That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Apr 05 2024

2 sleepers on a short album. Solid 4. The rest stand out and are pure funky soulful goodness.

Risque by CHIC
Apr 07 2024

Definition of mid. 2.5. Not really a bad song on here, but no great ones. Average funky kinda sort of catchy stuff.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 10 2024

4.5. Phenomenal album. Lots of real, serious, dark material here. Also some more light hearted tales and humor sprinkled in. Would be a 5 if “Respect” and “Friend of Mine” were not on the album. Still one of the greatest hip hop records of all time.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 12 2024

4.5. Amazing album with a skip track. One of the greatest rappers of our generation

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Apr 16 2024

4.5. Almost perfect, but then there’s weaker tracks like “lyrical gangbang” and “high powered”. Classic nonetheless.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 18 2024

Boring. Didnt click like Loveless did

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 22 2024

Exceptional. Eddie Vetter with powerful vocals. Excellent guitar playing. Overall just a rocking in your face album. 4.5 due to “Oceans” being meh.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Apr 23 2024

4.5. One of them is kinda wack but this is essential hip hop listening.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Apr 27 2024

Sick ass album. Need to go back and get in to the lyrics.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jun 02 2024

Good songs, nothing too good

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 03 2024

Wish I understood the lyrics more.. some songs are a complete vibe.

Guero by Beck
Jun 04 2024

Just boring as fuck

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 08 2024

4.5. Might need to go back and listen for a potential 5. Lyrics are great, beats are unique (funky guitar licks), just a truly unique rap record

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jun 10 2024

You got me fucked up if you think im gonna listen to 3.5 hours of ella fitzgerald. Great voice but shittt this sounds too old and dry for me.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jun 12 2024

3.5. Definitely an enjoyable album. Fast and high energy. Some ripping guitar. Nothing super profound.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 13 2024

A couple bangers. Great voice, but not up my alley for the most part

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jun 21 2024

Strong 4.5. Slightly slipped at the end

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jun 22 2024

Not one dislikable song. Groovy, fun. Just doesn’t give me that sense of awe that a great album gives me.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 25 2024

Spectacular album. I hear the strokes, depeche mode, and Talking Heads. I cried during All My Friends. Earth shattering shit right here. Easy 5.

2112 by Rush
Jul 02 2024

Heater!!!

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 03 2024

BANGER. “Broken Hearts” is weak. Bass lines and guitar solos fuck.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 04 2024

A little inconsistent. “Mr. Magic” is the best track 🔥🔥🔥. Her voice is spectacular.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 06 2024

Most of the songs don’t do it for me but there are some high points forsure.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jul 26 2024

Maybe dope if you’re an oldhead

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Aug 01 2024

Really great. Every song is easy to listen to. Simple shit, but Morriseys voice is so good and it just works

Cut by The Slits
Aug 02 2024
Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Aug 03 2024

COULD BE A 5 ********* but I think it needs a relisten
