This was really all background music for me. 2.5

Mar 07 2024

Push it along -- - freaky baby intro but I liked it I like luck of Lucien After hours is too repetitive Wasn't as into can I kick it as I thought I'd be. I like Mr. Muhammad Description of a fool is my favorite on the album

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 13 2024

At times fun, but really not for me. Electronic gives me such a headache that it's hard to enjoy. Favorite: frontier psychiatrist Least favorite: live at dominoes

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Mar 14 2024

Enjoyable but few songs stuck out.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Mar 15 2024

I enjoyed this album a lot. It made me feel nostalgic and reminded me of the kind of music I associate with my mother I didn't dislike any song, though most faded to the background. Standouts were My Baby Needs a Shepherd and Michaelangelo

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 16 2024

Amy, Amy, Amy. Gorgeous sound and gorgeous voice. Some of the lyrics are a little tough but it feels raw and honest. Low: know you now High: in my bed, you sent me flying/cherry, fuck me pumps, amy amy amy

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Mar 17 2024

Great music for a warm spring day. Reminds me of the music my dad and uncle played outside on a nice day. No song sticks out but I'd also put any of them on again. Very impressive guitar playing.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 19 2024

Not bad but really not for me. Electronic in general just can't hold my attention.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 20 2024

Really pleasant listen. It got a bit repetitive at times. Still, he has a wonderful voice and you can hear the influence he has on later artists.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Mar 21 2024

It's fun disco music and I appreciate it for what it is. I probably wouldn't put it on as anything other than background.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Mar 22 2024

It feels like it should be more exciting but the repetition and vocals just make it boring.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Mar 23 2024

I'm just not that into jazz. Pleasant sometimes but I really hated the long drum-heavy portions.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Mar 24 2024

Delightfully weird but mostly filled with songs I won't revisit.

Mar 26 2024

Such a fun album. Amazing live recording and one of the few albums I'd relisten to in its entirety.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Mar 29 2024

Long, boring, and grating.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Mar 31 2024

Really surprised by how much I liked this.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 01 2024

Pretty decent. Some really electrifying stuff, some skippable stuff too. It's cohesive but I was a little tired of the sound by the end.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 07 2024

Gorgeous. Loved most of the songs and the android concept comes through in a way that doesn't default to a robotic sound.

Da Capo by Love
Apr 08 2024

Few songs deserve to be 18 minutes and Revelation knocks this down to a 2.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 09 2024
Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Apr 12 2024

Somebody to love and in the morning were great. There were a few other good songs but I won't revisit most of this album.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Apr 13 2024

Strongly agree with the all caps review

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 14 2024

Gorgeous from top to bottom. Feels just like the album art

Apr 16 2024

I really wish I could give this a 3.5. It's varied and interesting and exciting. That said, I see glimpses of Kanye becoming who he is today in a few of these songs. Sometimes the lyrics feel weak. That said, even when I'm rolling my eyes at what he says, the composition of the cong always makes up for it.

Apr 17 2024

Who are Jamiroquai's people? It's funky and fun but inauthenticity is bleeding through the album.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 20 2024

Really surprised that I ended up thinking these songs were mostly just meh. I liked white winter hymnal but everything else ended up just too boring to make much of an impression

En-Tact by The Shamen
Apr 24 2024
Apr 25 2024

I feel nostalgic about this album because I remember my grandpa putting it on. He loved Maggie May. I think that's what saves this from a 2. I can tolerate bad singers (I even like some) but his voice was pretty rough at times.

Being There by Wilco
Apr 26 2024

Consistently good but too long and not ever amazing.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Apr 29 2024
Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 30 2024

Definitely a unique voice but really enjoyable

Very by Pet Shop Boys
May 01 2024

Really dragged by the end. Not really bad but definitely not for me

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
May 02 2024

Eh--i can respect the influence of the album but it's not the best modern listen

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 13 2024

I'm not sure if this is fair because I did enjoy under the bridge but I just hated this so much more than I anticipated. Too long and too self-indulgent. Took me days to get through.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
May 14 2024

The murderer mystery was so uniquely grating that I can't honestly rate this above a 2

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
May 17 2024

Much better than expected. A bit rougher in some songs but ultimately fun.

Blur by Blur
May 18 2024
Sincere by Mj Cole
May 19 2024

Too many remixes

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 21 2024

Kinda cheesy but enjoyable. If it had been the same quality and about Virginia, I would give it a 5. As I don't care for Illinois, let's go with 3

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 22 2024

Really really good. Long enough to fall from a five though

Smash by The Offspring
May 23 2024

I'm really mixed on this one. At times, it's really enjoyable but I also think he has a pretty bad voice and some of the lyrics are very middle school angst

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 24 2024

I like the sound but it all blended together. Felt kind of like one 45 minute song

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 25 2024

I like Gorillaz but they get much better in subsequent albums.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
May 27 2024

Beautiful voice but the album was boring. 3.5

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 29 2024

I was shocked by how much I liked this

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
May 30 2024

There were good moments but it always became unpleasant within 30 seconds

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 01 2024

Ranges from good to horrible

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jun 05 2024

Haunting in a scary way

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jun 07 2024

I really like Leonard Cohen's voice and style but there weren't many standouts here. 3.5

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jun 08 2024

Dolly is such a a star and it comes through in this album. It's probably a true 4.5--it's not all for me and I do like her pop a bit more but I love a distinct voice and style

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 09 2024

It's not my favorite Taylor Swift album but it holds up really well.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jun 12 2024

This really didn't grab me. It sounded fine, but I won't revisit

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 13 2024

Eh, it's fine. I see how it was impactful at the time but it's just not that interesting now

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 14 2024

Fine but pretty boring. 2.5

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 15 2024

Pleasant. Nice to hear his voice back in the day

High Violet by The National
Jun 16 2024

Nice and broody. 4.5

Jun 18 2024

It sounds nice but it kind of all blends as background music. I doubt I'll listen to much of it again

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 19 2024

I can't really put a finger on why this felt so unenjoyable

Horses by Patti Smith
Jun 21 2024

Love her bad voice

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 23 2024
The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 27 2024

This was fine? Some good songs but overall not very impressive

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jun 30 2024

Some good songs but mostly just wailing

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 03 2024
Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 04 2024
Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jul 07 2024
Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 13 2024

Higher than I ever thought I'd rate funk

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jul 16 2024

Some of these songs were great but others felt self-indulgent or just too 60s for my taste

Mask by Bauhaus
Jul 19 2024

I was really not into this

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 27 2024

Meh

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jul 31 2024

Cool guitar, boring voice 2.5

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 02 2024

It's not bad-bad but it's pretty boring 2.5

Cross by Justice
Aug 04 2024
Movies by Holger Czukay
Aug 07 2024
Low by David Bowie
Aug 08 2024
The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 09 2024

I kind of liked it? I also stretched listening to this out over 3 days because I got immediately burnt out after one song

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 11 2024
Kenya by Machito
Aug 14 2024
The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 17 2024

3.5 I liked this way more than I thought I would but the songs can just be so so long

Who's Next by The Who
Aug 19 2024

Dad rock. Not bad but I was ready for it to end

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 20 2024

It's good but it's not for me

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Aug 21 2024

2 good songs and some mess

Queen II by Queen
Aug 24 2024

3.5 Good but not quite my taste

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Aug 25 2024

Liked it way better than I thought I would but it's so repetitive that it would be hard to listen much more

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Aug 27 2024

I hated the first two song but the rest ranged from good to meh

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Aug 30 2024

2.5 Sometimes good but often dull and far too long

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Sep 03 2024

Without context, this would be a 4. Knowing he wrote it as his final work while preparing for the end of his life makes it stand out as a gorgeous final goodbye

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Sep 05 2024

I really liked this! It got a little weaker at the end though. A true 4.5

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 06 2024

I liked it more than I thought but something about it felt unsubstantial

Risque by CHIC
Sep 08 2024

Pretty but repetitive

Arise by Sepultura
Sep 09 2024

They seem like great musicians but it was pretty unbearable. 2 if I could have suppressed the vocals. 1.5 as-is

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 10 2024

I get why people would love this but it didn't do much for me

New Forms by Roni Size
Sep 15 2024

I did not enjoy this but I guess I get why someone would

Dookie by Green Day
Sep 17 2024
Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 24 2024

2.5 So much better than their earlier album and a solid start but a painful end

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 25 2024

This was really all background music for me. 2.5

Parklife by Blur
Sep 29 2024

Blur is sometimes good but always so repetitive

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Oct 03 2024
Parallel Lines by Blondie
Oct 05 2024

Way better than I would have guessed -- you can really hear the influence she had on the 80s

Van Halen by Van Halen
Oct 07 2024

Enjoyable but repetitive

Heroes by David Bowie
Oct 08 2024
Closer by Joy Division
Oct 11 2024

Spooky

American Pie by Don McLean
Oct 17 2024

3.5 I liked this much more than I thought I would

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 19 2024

My truth is that I don't get Radiohead.

Oct 25 2024

I enjoyed this but whenever I tuned in and caught what they were saying, I cringed a bit

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Oct 28 2024

4.5 really

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Oct 31 2024

I get that it's innovative but it's not for me

With The Beatles by Beatles
Nov 02 2024

Fine but not great. I get that they changed music but the Beatles just don't do much for me

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Nov 04 2024

I finished! It was mostly lovely background noise. Really put me in the mood for Christmas

The Coral by The Coral
Nov 07 2024

I already liked one song off this album and it's still the only song I'd play again

Boston by Boston
Nov 09 2024

Surprisingly good

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 14 2024

This is all over the place but when it's good, it's good

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Nov 15 2024

Songs are just way too long for me but the talent is clear

Violator by Depeche Mode
Nov 16 2024

Meh, 2.5

Rapture by Anita Baker
Nov 24 2024

Pretty but each song felt long

Nowhere by Ride
Nov 27 2024

Fine but boring

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 03 2024

No thanks

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 04 2024

Enough with Tony Stark

Play by Moby
Dec 06 2024

I enjoyed this more than I thought I could. 3.5

Low-Life by New Order
Dec 07 2024

Love love vigilantes but the iron and wine cover is more my taste

Dec 09 2024

I thought I liked the rolling stones but I really wasn't into this album

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 12 2024
The Band by The Band
Dec 14 2024

High highs, low lows

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 17 2024
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 18 2024

The album art got me excited but most of the songs were just alright

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 24 2024

Turns out I know more Metallica than I thought I did

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jan 07 2025

Scum by Napalm Death
Jan 24 2025

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Feb 06 2025

Good music for a late night

2112 by Rush
Feb 07 2025
Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 08 2025

Really good playing--I just wish the lyrics and vocalist could keep up

GI by Germs
Feb 10 2025
The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 13 2025

This put me to sleep in a nice way
