The Score
Fugees
- wild listening experience, huge fan of all the skits & feeling right there in the studio with them
- fugees is a funky name but also sick that its topical to the album - refugees
- obsessed with Lauryn Hill's voice, obviously
- had to keep from laughing out loud during the outro
- not as familiar with standards for rap music / this kind of flow but love it. the conversational type of contributions are amazing
- sometimes cannot tell where one song starts and the next begins
- as working music 4/5
- vibes 5/5

That's The Way Of The World
Earth, Wind & Fire
- superb vibes.
- would sort as a superb dinner album. good for vibing to in the kitchen, for dancing but not to upbeat, for background while chatting. <3
- due to variety in vocal / instrumental, wouldn't listen to as get computer work done music
- big fan of talking at ending
3.5/5

Signing Off
UB40
- understand the political value of this
- not one i think i'd listen to much. would be good for background, maybe for painting. not saving it though.

- they're the red, red wine people

Shadowland
k.d. lang
- i don't think I'd realized kd lang was this far into the country realm, this is incredible!
- her voice is just absolutely singular. gay cowboys for ever and ever. i love it on this particular, the vocal control & smooth tone of her voice is just beautiful
- feels very cigarettes and coffee. feels extremely dancing in the kitchen.
- saving
- 4/5 stars for SURE

Amnesiac
Radiohead
- noises. go noises. [same affect as sports go sport]
- it is a very foggy wet day and i think this album melds well with that. very reflective. obviously, it's radiohead, but anyways (pyramid song)
- crunchy. often i chew on music but i think this is chewing on me (pulk/pull)
- just a superb album. don't think i'd ever listened to a whole radiohead album the instrumentation is just so great and the production is tres cool - maybe i'm just used to listening to way overproduced music, but it was so specific with it.
- will listen to again.
- 4/5

You Are The Quarry
Morrissey
- lyrics are fuckign odd. i mean itās morrissey so duh
- thought lazy dykes was going to piss me off more than it did
- i havenāt listened to the smiths that much and Iām sure some of their lyrics are odd too, but the kind of chill smiths vibe guitar with āwell, america, you know where you can shove your hamburgerā
- realized his voice is KIND of vaguely similar to alex turnerās but i think itās just becuase theyāre both british and annoying
- will listen to again but wonāt add to my library
- 3/5 i GUESS⦠itās like fine to listen to

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle
Throbbing Gristle
- this is just noise. this is literally just noise
- i kind of like the actual one Dead on Arrival but I think thatās just because there was a backbeat and it was a relief from the noise
- a song with words???? what a surprise
- excellent soundtrack for going insane. or maybe doing insane art. scheming in a dark room. VERY ianthecore
- this is so not my vibe. am nowhere near cool enough to enjoy this
- oh i like hometime. reminds me of home movie in dreamland, wonder if thatās referencing this.
- ok i like AB/7A but it is genuinely hurting my easrs. i get that this is cool and foundational for industrial music but.. I donāt like industrial music. i like patterns and i like the parts of this with patterns, but some of the patterns are made of feedback noises and vaguely bagpipe quality machine sounds.
- walls of sound sounds like industrialist futuristic hellscape to me. the gears are grinding you into paste
- 2/5. added one song to my lyricless playlist but will never listen to this again

Bad
Michael Jackson
- music is a relief
- i just love the bass line in the way you make me feel. i know itās literally the same thing the entire time and not
- i just love 80s music.
- itās tragic that iāll never go to a concert in the 80s. like dude. a michael jackson concert would be so insane.
- nothing really hits like a key change on the word change.
- donāt think iād ever noticed the heartbeat at the beginning of smooth criminal
- that is an Album. will listen again. going to add to library. also just classic album art
- 4/5

Dig Me Out
Sleater-Kinney
- vocals are definitely an acquired taste. i donāt think iāve acquired the taste yet!
- ānot like an organ, like a valentineā is a killer line to me
- the guitar is just so insane and locked in
- feel like i want to listen to this more to try and get it. i donāt really like it on first listen but i think iād get used to the vocals and iād be able to really soak in the lyrics
- 3/5 because i like the lyrics

Apr 18 2024
Blunderbuss
Jack White
- love ālove interruptionā, thereās clarinet, big fan of the vocal duet, the lyric
- i like blunderbuss i like the theremin in it
- he said ānoivusā for nervous (iām shakinā)
- big fan of the sound of hip (eponymous) poor boy. also sonically āhippopotamus poor boyā is funny
- i think itās like 16/8 in take me with you when you go ⦠? love the piano either water
- saved ātake me with you when you goā, āpoor boyā, ālove interruptionā
- didnāt love all of it.. will listen again probably, saved some of songs. 3.5/5 initial rating.

Tres Hombres
ZZ Top
- off to a good start in terms of the guitar. getting an excellent diet of electric guitar the last few days

Apr 20 2024
Odessey And Oracle
The Zombies
- immediately thinking beatles. like, very obviously, given the fact of same time active, and 5 white guys with bad haircuts / bowlcuts
- sounds like music from the late 60ās.. wack⦠who would have thought!
- feel like it would be cool to play on a sunny slow day. good to have chill 60s music that is not the beatles
- iām not really sure about it. think i may just not be in the mood for it
- i think the british wobbly tone doesnāt work for every type of song. just found the staccato emphasis on every word doesnāt work
- ohhhhh theyāre the time of the season people. i do like the choral chorus of it, and the intro (clapping rhythm and exhales), but as a whole song i donāt love it yet

Apr 21 2024
Pacific Ocean Blue
Dennis Wilson
- this album is an hour and fifty two minutes long.
- i liked the vibe - it was chill. heās the beach boys guy

Made In Japan
Deep Purple
- ok well the artistās name is deep purple so an automatic win
- rock music. based on the album cover I had thought it was going to be jazz
- some INSANE riffs going on here
- guitar is just incredible
- assuming these guys are british
- defo good concentration study album (in blast them thoughts out typa category), workshop album. some scream singing so might become annoying dep on ear day
- spotify description is killer. emojis
- strange kind of woman - vocals echoing guitar back & forth, love hearing what i do all the time in real music
- there are seven songs but it is an hour and sixteen minutes long. ee

Can't Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan
- well. itās steely dan
- tres chill.. soundscape of instrumentation moves so smoothly
- i do love the harmonization over the chorus of dirty work
- wikipedia referred to lyrics as āellipticalā which feels very accurate
- again, big fan of guitars in harmony, in reelin in the years
- āoh michael, oh jesusā is funny to me
- i think there is a niceness and comfort to the repetition in it, makes it very background easy listening. itās sunny music
- idk. itās nice! i donāt dislike it! i think iām just not that attached to it. 3/5, did not add but did save turn that heartbeat over again

Peter Gabriel 3
Peter Gabriel
- not off to a great start. not sure these are my kinds of sounds⦠but they could be
- nvm. this is interesting.. would be good studio music. itās noise music but itās not too abrasive. and i like his singing voice. like leonard cohenās voice if it was a little softer and a little creepier
- thereās some sax and itās almost 1975 ish in Start. (donāt judge me)
- i dont remember is talking heads ish. i like
- family snapshot cāest plutot sad 80s ballad
- i like it. good studio music, could be good reading music. sonically interesting, made my ears go ā?ā at points wondering what could be making those sounsd. 3.5/5 i think.

Apr 25 2024
Music For The Jilted Generation
The Prodigy
- another noise album but i like this itās way more rhythmic than throbbing gristle
- really good concentration wise I think; not a ton of words, that kind of wet bass synth
- iāve heard this synth riff in voodoo people before
- oh my god wait. am i enjoying edm
- i like that itās not just synth though; the rhythmic repetition of sound bites makes it less pure EDM sounding
- itās definitely a lot
- iām giving everything 3/5 but it keeps being truee

Apr 27 2024
Surfer Rosa
Pixies
- very rock. noise rock. maybe too rock for me
- i want to like it because itās got where is my mind which is a great song
- vibe of where is my mind vs the rest is interesting. tempo of it is much slower
- am 30 seconds into vamos; 2.8 more songs to listen to
- 2.5 / 5. i really like where is my mind but the rest is all so different
2
Apr 28 2024
Rings Around The World
Super Furry Animals
- quite a mix. almost metal vocals at times
- interesting stuff. the spotify description said a mix of genres and they were quite right
- instrumentation is cool, a little bit noise music at times (not in a bad way)
- [A] touch sensitive has similar synth at parts to that song ethel cain likes, the same airplaney vibe
- no sympathy is seven minutes long but i love the acceleration in it, accel to more electronic & distorted is fun.
- ok this goes to very noise.
- like.. 3/5? deserves another listen

Illinois
Sufjan Stevens
- i was so excited to see this one come up! knew i liked chicago and john wayne gacy jr. but had never listened to it dedicatedly
- for some reason did not realize it was made in 2005. nearly 20 years old!!
- just masterful
- instrumentation is wonderful. orchestral but still varies through the album, but in a logical progression
- obsessed with the feeling it invokes. such motion, in the city, it feels like watching scenery go by from a car or train window.
- song titles are also hilarious.
- 4/5 added to library.

Truth And Soul
Fishbone
- rocky? souly?
- good vocals. canāt figure out what they remind me of
- good listenin. think it would be worth keeping
- some noise music vibes happening
- some absolutely scrumptious bass playing in ābonin in the boneyardā which is the best song title iāve seen in my life. fucking hilarious song
- i like it. will listen to again. iāve had the experience of being annoyed by some songs and enjoying others on a lot of albums recently, but this one has been enjoyable the whole way through
- i keep speaking too soon. subliminal fascism has a wayy different vibe. cāest la vie
- 3/5

Millions Now Living Will Never Die
Tortoise
- noise music but decrescendos into jazzier chiller feel
- a little too noise music-y at bits - would be overwhelming to have too loud, good for work though, art, introspection
- good to have lyricless albums in my arsenal so iām not wearing out my one playlist
- 3/5 saving in library

Histoire De Melody Nelson
Serge Gainsbourg
- un album francaise??
- cāest super quāil y a des albums en autres langues. tant pis que je nāai pas assez de comprehension pour pouvoir toute absorber ce qui se passe dans ces chansons
- reminding me of leonard cohen (specifically you want it darker album) but that may just be because his voice is low and speaking slowly. far more orchestral than that.
- i donāt like whatever is happening in āEn Melodyā
- instrumentation is superb though, cinematic orchestral feeling
- 3/5

May 31 2024
Nothing's Shocking
Jane's Addiction
- interesting cover art thatās for sure
- great as music for work/readings
- some superb guitar
- personally disagree with āsex is violentā but yknow that doesnāt take away from the music
- vibe of āJane Saysā is far more acoustic than the rest of the album; I suppose it makes sense that itās their top song?
- solid rock album i would say, good variation through it
- 3/5

Jun 02 2024
Soul Mining
The The
- off to a superb start. very 80s combination of drums & bass & synth that Iām a fan of
- āsleeping boys catch no fishā⦠the new āyou snooze you loseā
- i feel as though Iāve heard the riff from uncertain smile before..
- after googling, curious as to whether the spotify version of the album has the sax solo or the piano solo
- piano, as it turns out
- āiāve seen an old man fingering his perishing fleshā. oh! quite the absurd / out there lyrics
- perfect feels like an abstract painting against a canvas of repeating bassline, synth, and some occasional trumpet. āoh what a perfect day to think about myself.ā real
- 4/5. adding to library

Moon Safari
Air
- vibes off to a good start. de plus ils viennent de Versailles
- growing quite fond of how many instrumental albums are a part of this list
- big fan of la femme dāargent and kelly watch the stars.
- ce matin-la is so beautiful. call and response of the horns (trombones i presume), the feeling of ebb & flow throughout the piece
- vocals remind me of daft punk in new star in the sky, but that is just because itās āvaguely european accent through a vocoderā
- what it says on the box. moon safari is a superb name for this album
- 4/5 adding to library

Os Mutantes
Os Mutantes
- psychedelic era album, brazilian band
- big fan of the atmospheric experimental feel and differences that happen in tempo
- one of the songs is in french which was a surprise when I could suddenly understand what they were singing
- i quite enjoy the choral feeling of chunks of this
- CLARINET in tempo no tempo!! clocks also!!
- really quite entertaining to realize how much i donāt know. and how much the ābeatles soundā is just the sound of the era. embarrassing for me!
- iām not sure where to rate this one - I donāt listen to 60s music a ton, but this album is really sonically interesting to me. going to go with 4/5, adding to library to expand the music i have in my library in other languages

All Mod Cons
The Jam
- british punk. entertained by the āthey could never have a hit in America, as they were thoroughly and defiantly Britishā in the spotify bio
- quite liked it as an album. I find sometimes Iām too much of a baby for punk, but this is very poppy punk and i quite enjoyed that.
- superb ending to it - weāre down in the tube station at midnight!
- 4/5, liked and am adding to library.

- workshop music for sure
- the squealing is something that i think would be awesome live but Iām not sure I love for general listening
- big fan of⦠i donāt know what the instrument is but itās like. electric bell sounding. might just be the electric guitar and me being clueless.
- spectacular guitar
- spotify wouldnāt let me listen to modern romance for whatever reason
- I liked it; I donāt know that Iāll definitely listen to it again but I do want to give it another try

- jumpscare in this is what sheās like!! bangin though
- dude i thought the song had changed so i went to add it to my liked songs⦠nope itās just a point at like 7:30. itās damn good though!
- the repetition of āit all sounds the sameā
- an experience of an album for sure

Da Capo
Love
- some sick bass playing
- i feel like objectively i like it but itās not fully me
- the very clear enunciation by the singer is interesting for jazz rock

- sounds like a local band some of my friends are in!

Stereo MC's
- sick album cover first of all
- right off the bat I think this is one Iām going to save

- āno originals everythingās reproducedā in a song from THIRTY TWO YEARS AGO is extremely keanu reeves smoking
- superb album

Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.
- āthe unapologetically violent and sexist pioneers of gangsta rapā is a hilarious sentence
- can feel the bass in āif it aināt ruffā
- thereās a line that sounds like āget played like a poop buttā itās pooh butt
- again; spectacular musically, can tell why itās foundational
- lyrics are a lot!

School's Out
Alice Cooper
- do love the Alice Cooper horror vaudeville glam rock vibe
- love the meowing. narrative songs like this have really died out
- electronic synth spectacular also
- he was 24 when he wrote this which is really quite interesting
- most of these are, but this is truly an Album, not just a collection of songs

Heartbreaker
Ryan Adams
- bangin guitar
- not to be a John Mayer fan but I feel like this guyās up there
- delightfully mournful
- twang
- less country less 80s slower bruce springsteen?
- man sometimes nothin hits like a simple harmony
- huge fan of woman that rains. āsound as an old engineerā is funny
- my kind of album; I think it also just matches my particular vibe today

May 13 2025
The World is a Ghetto
War
- funk album
- their big song is ālow riderā
- some solid rhythm (?? could say this about anything I suppose)
- HUGE fan of the harmonica in city, country, city
- going to be honest the jazziness did start to stress me out after a bit it was something about the background repetition (the song is also 13 minutes long)
3
May 14 2025
Dry
PJ Harvey
- sometimes i wonder if Iām a misogynist (not sure I love her voice)
- nvm this is awesome I love the guitar in stella

The Who Sell Out
The Who
what an experience! quite a performance of an album, I love the bit of it all. the cover is wild. hope I never have to bathe in baked beans. the rock version of hall of the mountain king was what it must sound like to go insane.
3
May 16 2025
Hot Fuss
The Killers
such a solid album. I love the killers!! this album has been such a staple for me for so long. the instrumentation in everything will be alright is one of my favourite parts of the album. singles are obviously great too but often get to a point of hearing them tooo much.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues
- they are the fairytale of new york people!
- metropolis also sounds like going insane
- there is a comfort in the celtic vibes to it but I mostly found it overwhelming to listen to! would be good for fairy ball.
- 3/5 by my previous system but now iām giving it 2/5

Arc Of A Diver
Steve Winwood
a very romantic feeling album. I love the synth. I donāt think soul pop is a genre that particularly grabs me, but thereās such an atmosphere to this one. it feels like a soundtrack. an album i feel like is good to know, but not one I will necessarily seek out again.
3
May 28 2025
Mothership Connection
Parliament
sonically I really enjoyed the album, but lyrically it absolutely turned me off of it. big fan of the synth and the low vocals, but the repetition in the last song, and the lyrics of āhandcuffsā were just. kind of awful! itās one star lyrically and 4 stars in how it sounds so it gets three.

New Boots And Panties
Ian Dury
- I like the instrumentation but i donāt like his voice very much. lyrics arenāt exactly charming me. theyāre clever and all but i. donāt like them
- if i was with a woman ending is incredibly unpleasant which i know is the point. but still.
- ok the belch and then the fart noise into synth is kind of awesome. (2:10 of blockheads)

Beggars Banquet
The Rolling Stones
obviously itās the rolling stones. obviously itās good. but i think the thing is iād rather listen to blues music with non-mick jagger singing.
3
Jun 02 2025
Veckatimest
Grizzly Bear
I gave it a listen and a half. I do still like two weeks, but I think thatās because Iāve heard it so much. The atmosphere of the album is well established but I think not particularly for me. It does get nicely ethereal, though, well accomplished via chorals and pan flute. None of the songs seem to capture the same height as two weeks. like two weeks is the top of a mountain, the rest are definitely in the forest, but not at the same level.

Jun 03 2025
Live And Dangerous
Thin Lizzy
great recording of the live performance, feel like thereās some albums where itās clear this is ājustā a live performance, but this one felt like it stands in its own right. this is likely helped by the fact that I donāt already know the songs; not picking up on minute differences i might if I knew the music. fan of this. specifically big fan of the tempo increase through the last bit of āim in love with youā. four stars iād say! (my rating system is re-calibrating this is not in line with my previous..)

Jun 04 2025
Rust Never Sleeps
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
- neil young up there with john darnielle in terms of great guys who donāt really sing
- something truly magical about a harmonica
- the guitar is incredibly soulful. things that are nothing to say
- the electric guitar on powderfinger was unexpected
- huge fan of the bookending songs thatās very cool
- something i think i would enjoy much more if it were live
- 3 stars but not adding!

Jun 05 2025
Autobahn
Kraftwerk
- I feel like this might be a strange one. my spidey senses are telling me
- this song is 20 minutes long. like driving on the autobahn?
- some great musicality of the synth that i like. the periodic chanting i just donāt like that much.
- this song gets a 2
- can feel this as a precursor to alt j (16 mins into autobahn is giving tessellate in my butt)
- this sounds like something that āchanged the trajectory of music foreverā but the thing is i donāt think i particularly am getting it.
- this second song is physically painful to listen to
- mitternacht sounds like youāre getting chased in a dungeon.
- ok this last song is equally painful to listen to at the beginning
- it tapers out into pan flute
there were parts that were cool. mostly it was hard to listen to.

Virgin Suicides
Air
what an album. Iāve never actually seen the movie, which is an embarrassment for me, but itās one iāve now got motivation to watch. I knew I liked air already, but this was spectacular. big fan of all the instrumentation; the sax, the synth. favourites include empty house and dead bodies. 4/5!

Metallica
Metallica
- i think i thought metallica was more metal than rock. a wonderful discovery for me personally. they are critically acclaimed for a reason!
- such a solid album. love that itās referred to as āthe black albumā. funny to contrast metallica with the beatles.
- would love to see them live. that would be pretty crazy

Konnichiwa
Skepta
- i am not the target audience for this album! the production is really well done, sounds really ābigā - high synth & keys, w low staticky bass. but iām just. not interesting in hearing men singing about the g-spot. spectacular to hear him speak from the heart about life though

Surf's Up
The Beach Boys
- one of those moments when you realize why critically acclaimed bands are critically acclaimed
- brutal look at the state of things seventy years ago. life of a tree today just as bad. student demonstration time. god

- harmonies are so very good

At Folsom Prison
Johnny Cash
- wild to know the applause was added in post production that makes it so much weirder. to know the actual audience was silent āfor fear of reprisalā
- āmy idiot sheetā
- by jove the gal singing on jackson can really sing!
- sometimes wished my voice sounded like johnny cash but i am. a skinny white woman

Hole
- good stuff. crazy vocalist
- āshe lost her innocence, gave it to an abscessā is brutal but a sick burn. presuming interpretation as losing your virginity to a terrible man
- goodbye ending is always appreciated

Blue Lines
Massive Attack
generally I did not enjoy listening to this album. I enjoyed the songs with shara nelson more than the other guys, and i liked unfinished sympathy and hymn of the big wheel better than the other songs. i havenāt listened to a ton of slower hip hop, so maybe iām just not used to the conventions of this sort of music. horace andyās voice worked well in the last song, but i found it didnāt mesh with the instrumentation in one love.

Synchronicity
The Police
great album. i love the police! āmotherā was really unlike a lot of their other music i found. fun 7/4 time signature as well. i found murder by numbers has fiona apple cadence.

Ritual De Lo Habitual
Jane's Addiction
- a lot of this album feels like losing it a bit to me, which is cool to evoke but not necessarily an enjoyable experience. some thoughts:
- iām not feeling particularly compelled
- FF: Navarro was a part of the chili peppers for about 4 years!
- āslapping yourself in the faceā over and over is quite an experience
- i liked the start of three days, and the guitar in classic girl
- i think iām just not a huge fan of his voice

Eliminator
ZZ Top
all feels steady and similar, samey. each song starts and then it ends. not necessarily bad; would be good for background music as itās not diverting, but on the flip side! not really interesting or engaging

Protection
Massive Attack
So excited to see Tracey Thorn on this first track; big fan of Everything But the Girl! Elements I liked included the strings, the instrumentation in general. I liked the instrumental tracks (weather storm, heat miser). Iām not a huge fan of british rap it would appear. Looking forward to giving their Mezzanine album a listen. Generally enjoyed this one far more than Blue Lines. Adding it to my library for now, think it merits a few more listens.

spectacular expanse of sound. think some of the vocals might take some getting used to but iāve added it to my library. mostly quite liked it! sick cover art also.

L'Eau Rouge
The Young Gods
think this is the first album in another language iāve gotten. the album is definitely quite insane sounding, and chunks of it are extremely horror. but itās also really awesome. itās a LOT but iām adding it to my library. definitely something you have to be in the right state of mind. awesome that the band is still active too
