...And Justice For All by Metallica
Mar 19 2024

Geez I wish I liked metal music. I can appreciate the technical skill involved in making something to complex and specific, as well as the emotional resonance an album like this could make an angsty listener feel. However, it it just sounds like chaos to me. The muddy sound of the grunge guitar, the aggressive tones, the intense strobing & constant crash of the drums, and the raspy vocals make me want to do nothing more than turn it off and enjoy the absence of being acoustically attacked.

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 20 2024

Fuck yeah. Easy buttery atmospheric jazzy early synthy electronica. They keep their melodies groovy and cohesive and tight, which i's appreciates. I like that this album is a tidy soundscape package - all songs have the a similar color & mood that makes me believe they belong together.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Mar 21 2024

This far from my favorite Doors album. This record stays firmly in "The Doors Sound" with a compelling organ focus and a boozy rock sound. However it all sounds a bit far from what makes the Doors great. With the exception of the standout Roadhouse Blues, Morrison sounds more restrained, and the music feels a bit too influenced by other bands. In some ways this is very cool, to hear The Door's spin on the Beach Boys and the Beatles. But this album is a bit too jazzy, and a bit too much of a stretch from the quintessential sound the Doors became known for in their freshman self-titled record.

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 22 2024

Abraxas is a fuckin VIBE. Really cool to hear the synthesis of a few different cultures - latin beats & melodies combined with classic american rock. Santana shreds a bit too hard for my taste in the later part of the album, but Black Magic Woman & Oye Como Va are what make this album special.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 25 2024

Iconic. Second only to Thriller in its pure, unadulterated Poppiness.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Mar 26 2024

This is undoubtedly a good album, however yesterday was just NOT a Led Zeppelin day, so I skipped it. Too much chaos. They fuckin rock tho

The Score by Fugees
Mar 27 2024

I appreciate this album for its place history. Fugees were made up of all-stars, and their sound lead the groundwork for a panoply of new genres. Not what i'd put on normally, but good for my education.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Mar 28 2024

Chaos is my enemy in music, however this album is unique enough to allow me to see through the clouds. I'm quite impressed with the texture and complexity of the sound. Animal Collective has garnered an excellent reputation amongst my friends so I was happy at the chance to give them another shot. I can appreciate its beauty, but it still is not an album i'll be reaching for anytime soon.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 29 2024

Punky. Too chaotic

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 03 2024

Great album. I love how these genre-defining albums are always way softer and more melodic than I expect.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Apr 04 2024

Pretty soothing piano. Im sure there's a lot there but I couldnt find it.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 10 2024

Very dynamic pop, I liked it.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Apr 11 2024

not my favorite. i can hear the beegees sound, but no particular song on this album strikes me.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 15 2024

Surprisingly, did not enjoy this album. I love Creedence, but this one just didn't hit me right

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 16 2024

Very cool and I can appreciate the innovation of his sound. However, it rarely is a sound that I seek out - a bit too hard and a bit too chaotic

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 24 2024

Wow those were bad sounds

21 by Adele
Apr 30 2024
L.A. Woman by The Doors
May 07 2024

God i wish i liked Radiohead

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 19 2024

I love this album. very nostalgic. I remember listening to jesus of suburbia on repeated and going nuts when they drop into the quiet acoustic part of the song
