Nevermind by Nirvana

Good but overrated. Lots of thoughts so... Songs are incredibly well-produced and guitar tone is delicious. Cobain's vocal performances are extremely impressive both strained and soft. Smells Like Teen Spirit and In Bloom started the album very strongly but songs became very forgettable as the lyrics are so surreal, the melodies not very catchy and the guitar “riffs” (chord progressions) are similarly dissonant. After finishing the album I can actually only remember how 4 songs went - SLTS, Come As You Are, Something In The Way (my favourite) and Polly - which I only remember for being so raw against a background of screaming distortion. It's a good album and I recognise it's cultural and significance but overall, I don't think it's very timeless and I can only give it 3/5. sorry Andrew xo

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

absolutely vibes for some reason. 5/5

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta

Okay... I'll start by the saying the instrumentation is pretty good. Drumming is good, guitar is good. Bass seems functional as far as I can tell. The main flaw of the this album are the god awful lyrics. I'm not much of a lyrics person myself, I normally ignore them to focus on the melody but my god these are bad. If there's some kind of deeper meaning it's too deep for me, sorry. This sounds like nonsense and looks like nonsense when written down. Unfortunately, the terrible lyrics aren't supported at all by the repetitive and boring melody writing. Whereas potentially weak lyrics from a band such as Oasis are passable, with the catchy and enjoyable melodies, these just fall flat. I truly don't understand the reviews calling this the greatest prog rock/metal of the modern age and/or the 2000s. Go and listen to Porcupine Tree's In Absentia (2002) or Deadwing (2005) or Tool's Lateralus (2001), or The Pineapple Thief's Your Wilderness (2016). Some of my favourites which are miles and miles better than this. Yeah. 2/5

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 27 2024

pretty good, nice vocals and guitar. not amazingly standout album but enjoyable listen nonetheless:))

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 28 2024

not terrible, a little boring though. quite predictable nothing hugely outstanding except for Take Me Out which was very good. I'm Cheating On You was also alright. Overall lyrics were very weak i thought. 2/5

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 29 2024

A fun album, nothing super super outstanding but overall very enjoyable listen. Standout tracks White Rabbit, Someone To Love and Embryonic Journey.

Nevermind by Nirvana

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Mar 11 2024

pretty vibey. not the best rock album but fun. enjoyed the more jammy sound which still retained a driving feel 4/5

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 12 2024

Mar 14 2024

pretty vibey & important message... i think? 4/5

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 15 2024

decent. while I recognise the importance of albums like this in the development of modern music, this one does not hold any sort of timelessness. while it's not bad, the album drags even at it's 25 minute runtime because the song are just all so similar... sorry 3/5

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 16 2024

hmm... mixed bag. the songs themselves were kind of similar but i did enjoy the vibe. looking down the barrel of a gun especially good though. their voices are kinda of high pitched and annoying but ... i think I'll give bonus points cause i was kinda grooving 3/5

Raw Power by The Stooges
Mar 17 2024

Yknow what this shit is awfully mixed but it's too vibey to not love high score honestly partly cause I'm in a good mood I'm enjoying it more 4/5

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Mar 18 2024

not too bad , pretty decent but nothing mind blowing. Yes was pretty good though

Guero by Beck
Mar 19 2024

like a pensive chris cornell singing over a jack white record; like a stoned gizzard. wasn't expecting the world, came out with superbly easy chill vibes. 100% successful in achieving it's goal. mega. 5/5

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Mar 22 2024

Mar 25 2024

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 29 2024

pretty cool ambientish chill vibes. would've felt better with a ~30 minute runtime as opposed to nearly an hour though 4/5

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 30 2024

Queen II by Queen
Apr 07 2024

can't not love queen ! vibes. esp Seven Seas Of Rhye of course. 4/5

Opus Dei by Laibach
Apr 08 2024

goofily dark industrial vibes. i think it's kinda funny and also perfect for when I'm in the mood for invading neighbouring small nations. 4/5

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 11 2024

hahahaha i love this goofy shit it's so funny but also vibes 5/5

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 12 2024

the only mild problem is that is this album is a tad long. but i guess in the context of jumping out of one's head in a club sort of negates that. this album is fucking vibey. i really like it, it's like being locked into a groove for an hour. turning off almost gives the sensation of stepping off a treadmill, the world lurching around you as you find your balance. love it. 5/5

Lost Souls by Doves
Apr 14 2024

very good, well mixed and interesting composition. songs were a bit long/slow moving but other than that very good 4/5

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Apr 15 2024

fishing soundtrack pretty funny not exactly my vibe 3/5

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 16 2024

proper vibes this one. clean & well written songs with just the right amount of scuzz 4/5

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Apr 18 2024

actually pretty banging and surprisingly interesting for a '60s record. I was expecting heaps of 12-bar-bore but this was kinda fire. 4/5

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Apr 20 2024

fuck, man. this hits me right in the feels. sometimes, simple is beautiful. 5/5

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 21 2024

you know this ain't getting anything other than a 5/5 mate additionally, the rolling people is the best song on this album. i will die on this hill. it's a masterpiece and the best song the verve ever made.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 23 2024

really good but honestly not as good as the other one Fulfillingness 4/5
