Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 10 2024

I don't have much to say about this one. It was nice, it was relaxing. Favorite song: Poor Boy

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 11 2024

Classic Frank, great album, not much to say. Favorite Song: Lost ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 12 2024

I dont speak the language but I wish I did. It was a bop, started off strong and ended peacefully. Weak 4 but it got there. Favorite song: Sekou Oumarou, Petit Metier really close 2nd.

The White Album by Beatles
Mar 13 2024

Disc 2 turned this weak 4 into a strong 2. Disc 2 is mostly garbage. Disc 1 has some good songs but I think USSR and Obla Di are very overrated. However While my Guitar Gently Weeps and Blackbird are heat. Shame they made a double.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Mar 14 2024

I get it, I just don't love bob's voice and his mostly amateurish harmonica playing. I like some of da Bob songs but none on this album.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Mar 15 2024

I'm giving it a 3 because of the inspiration it must have garnered for the genre moving forward. However the album for me was a 2. I found myself not enjoying it a majority of the time. However, I did really enjoy 2 tracks in specific: New Dawn Fades and Shadowplay.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 18 2024

Didn’t really love any of the features until cee-lo at the end. However, almost every outkast standalone song was stanky as heck.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 19 2024

I really enjoyed this. I took some personal liberties to listen to sex machine after the last track before the single versions (which I did not listen to because I already did). Favorite song: Everyday People and I did really enjoy sex machine. 4 stars from this whitey

Mar 20 2024

Didn't know Ex-Factor was the sample in Drakes song Nice for What. The slowed down original sounds really good. The R&B songs were absolute heat but some of her rap songs were iffy. Specifically Lost Ones I thought was honestly really tough to listen to, however forgive them father was really good. Great features. Favorite Song: Ex-Factor

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Mar 21 2024

pretty jammin, I didnt love any one particular song but I enjoyed all of them

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 22 2024

This was my introduction to the album a day gambit. I was in the car with anthony and kerri and after 2 songs I was like can we please switch the music this has been PLENTY of alice in chains. I like it for a song or 2 but I can't do the vocal style for more than that. He sings like hes mocking himself if that makes sense lol. Favorite Song: Them Bones

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Mar 25 2024

Great sound, no skips, solid album. Month of may and deep blue go hard.

Mar 26 2024

The start of the boys' psychedelic journey. Amazing opening 3 songs and A Day in the Life is an incredible closer. Heat. Get in, Lads.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Mar 27 2024

At first I thought that this is something that would be on in my parents kitchen while they're cooking. Then I saw that Donald Fagen is the lead singer for steely dan and thought it could be on at any point in the house. It sounds like my moms music sung by the lead of one of my dad's favorite bands. But enough about them. Besides Ruby baby and The Nightfly (which I honestly thought were terrible tracks lol), the rest of the album is so smooth and enjoyable. Lot of great jazz and although Donnie sounds a little nasaly at some points, the vocals are there. However, the songwriting leaves a bit to be desired. Favorite song: IGY or New Frontier Weak 4 but it made it there.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Mar 28 2024

B was horny asl in 2014. All bangers.

Document by R.E.M.
Mar 29 2024

Good band making good music, not much else to say from me. Favorite song: The one I love (by far)

Apr 01 2024

Also listened to this one in the car with Anthony and Kerri. I think it was a little worse than I thought the whole album was going to be but I still enjoyed it. I don't think I would listen to the album in its entirety again however. Favorite song: BoRap

Faith by George Michael
Apr 02 2024

Nice 80s pop with some variety throughout. Faith is a banger but overall the genre is not my favorite. But I appreciate it. Very strong 3 but not quite a 4.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Apr 03 2024

Following each interlude was a complete change in vibe. It was cool Favorite song: Jump n shout

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Apr 04 2024

I knew a couple ZZ top songs but was not familiar with their game. Pleasantly surprised by this one. Lotta great guitar and very well polished. Just music that makes you say Hell Yeah. I really wanted to give this a 5 and if the album ended at La Grange it would have been an easy decision. But the last 2 songs and then the 3 live versions of previous songs brought it down to a 4 :( Favorite songs: Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers and Hot, Blue and Righteous

The Score by Fugees
Apr 05 2024

Amazing flow throughout, great features. The commentary after almost every song grew on me after a couple songs. I started to look forward to them like what’s next in the story. Exceeded my expectations. Favorite song: the mask but it was hard to pick. Snuck into the 5.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 08 2024

Fantastic sounds, relaxing, memorable songs. A couple songs I had to skip a couple because they like to do this thing of repeating a line/riff combo for 3 minutes before ending the song. Favorite Song: Bridge over troubled water

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 09 2024

I don't have too much to say. Kinda boring, didn't love it. But it was relaxing and enjoyable for the most part.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 10 2024

Metal is not usually my thing because most of it is terrible. But when its done well, like here, its really good. This album was very similar to a lot of Metallica's less popular songs. The transition from postmortem into raining blood made me sopping wet ngl and double bass rustles my britches a little. A few of the songs felt like filler but most of them were unique in their own way. The solo on aggressive protector was siq. Favorite song: Angel of death, it might've been raining blood but that song is the only one I can't beat on expert in guitar hero. Do not @

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 15 2024

The first half was like an english project but then the second half of the album was completely different. Seems like they had a 15 minute art installation then threw in some songs at the end, although it was a peaceful easy listen. America and At the Zoo are the same song, change my mind.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 16 2024

Felt uninspired, 0 bangers, seemed like a product of the label milking everything they can out of the 4 fellas. This album was everything I dislike about the beatles. Favorite song: Roll Over Beethoven; honorable mention to mister postman.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Apr 17 2024

not really my cup of tea but it was nice :)

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 18 2024

Best voice in classic rock imo. The album evokes many emotions, ups and downs in the lyrics in every song. Favorite Song: Good Time Bad Times, Dazed and Confused is a close 2nd but it has that weird break in the middle that I don't understand.

Tommy by The Who
Apr 19 2024

(I am reviewing just the original album, the 12 songs) The og rock opera. Really felt like a musical instead of a traditional album because of the way it tells the story. most of the songs I can really picture being sung on stage. Holy fucking fuck that pinball wizard of yours is insane.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Apr 22 2024

Some good songs, some pretty bad. I get tired of the vocal style after a few but I can appreciate it for a song or 2. The band is jammin tho, lotta good riffs and drums. Favorite song: walking on the moon

The Specials by The Specials
Apr 23 2024

Groovy and jammin at the same time. I enjoyed just about every song.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Apr 24 2024

The talking heads are hilarious. The vocal style could certainly be described as wacky and zany. I like to imagine all the band members looking around at each other like "get a load of this guy". However, I enjoyed the dynamic but I would need to be convinced to listen again. Psycho Killer really is a banger, not just a great rock band song.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Apr 26 2024

I don't have much to say. It was good, not great. Last song was good

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Apr 29 2024

No blunders. Just bussin. Solid rock album.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 02 2024

spooky type beats

The Slider by T. Rex
May 03 2024

If the wiggles made a rock album

Live! by Fela Kuti
May 06 2024

Funky fresh but the repetition drove me insane

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
May 07 2024

Greatest flow in rap ever, always smooth with it. Juicy is my favorite but the whole album is good. The grapefruit method at the end of respect was shocking but in character.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 09 2024

Really strong 4, it lost me a bit in the middle. Despite the foul language, walk of life is my favorite

Rubber Soul by Beatles
May 14 2024

The first good beatles album chronologically, I actually really like this album. I've always loved Norwegian Wood and In my life is one of my favorites. But at this point they were still holding onto a little bit of that slam on the drums and yell nonsense sound that I never liked in their earlier albums. For me, this was their grass is greener album but Ringo got caught on the fence. Favorite song: In My Life, honorable mention to Norwegian Wood

Suede by Suede
May 16 2024

Jammas

May 17 2024

Blur after Suede is funny because same era and genre but this was rubbish compared to suede.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 20 2024

Wrong Elvis. Got a classic in there tho.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
May 21 2024

Very pleasant. Wasn't really familiar with Willie's game before now. Seems like he was making music for folks holding onto a genre that may not have been as popular anymore in the 70s.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
May 22 2024

Beautiful but I dont want this much
