The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band

This album kinda intrigued me before swiftly being replaced by boredom and hatred for the sound. None of the songs are particularly great, but “A Very Cellular Song” is a very clear standout terrible track and imo contains everything terrible about the album. I honestly wanted to tear my ears off during it. The lyrics do not make up for the unappealing music, and there isn’t any reprieve from the awfulness. I expected them to throw one or two palate cleansers in there, but it was just a never ending hurricane barrage of shit. I will not be returning to this album. I would give a 0 if I could. This could be removed from streaming services and I would not notice nor care

Stardust by Willie Nelson
May 24 2024

Great Album, he has a good voice, the music just isn’t a style I particularly love or listen to often

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 27 2024

Great album with some truly integral and game changing rock songs. However, there are definitely some clear duds on the track list so it can’t get a 5 from me

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 28 2024

I do not enjoy nor would i return to any but one song. In terms of 1001 best albums ever, this is certainly on a much lower end

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 29 2024

Most of the songs are too long and too boring. Imo, this album represents everything wrong with this era of a basic rock. Nothing new or adventurous. Many bands were doing much better things, especially the Rolling Stones themselves. When we get to Aftermath they will earn a much higher rating but until then, 2

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
May 30 2024

I thought for a very long time about my score and ended up landing on 4. I really did want to give it a five but I think it honestly was just missing something special to push it over the edge. A lot of the songs were very good, it just was missing some big piece to put it together. Some of the songs maybe could’ve gone somewhere more, some of the vocal performances could’ve been more interesting (looking at you Svefn-g-englar), or maybe even a couple more higher more triumphant moments than we got. Of course another thing that’s lost on me is the lyrics and songwriting on the album, which perhaps was the thing that I was missing. This isn’t a complaint obviously just a point that maybe I could have appreciated it more had I known the songwriting which I’m sure was good

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
May 31 2024

Fun rock album but there’s definitely more fun and interesting albums coming out in this time period.

Jun 03 2024

This is a perfect album. Every single song is a bop, I cried multiple times, the message is absolutely amazing, the themes on love are perfect, the rapping ability is unmatched, and her vocals are also unmatched. This is by far the best album we’ve heard so far, and will stay that way for a long, long time.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 04 2024

I have pretty much nothing to say except meh

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jun 06 2024

This album is definitely music that i don’t typically enjoy, but the midsection was different and interesting enough to bump it up to 3 for me. These Hands is so strange but i love it, especially the psychedelic effect of the laughing as the circus music drones on in the background.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jun 07 2024

This is The Rolling Stones in a MUCH better place than their last album. I thoroughly enjoyed many tracks, and although they lost me on a couple (Sway kinda bored me), I still really enjoyed it enough to give it a 4. Rolling Stones aren’t in 5 range yet, but Aftermath is still on its way.

Jun 10 2024

Some of the best music made ever. The intro is so perfect; it’s especially amazing as it leads into a little help from my friend, one of rings star’s best vocal performances. That song is one of the beatles best. Lucy In the Sky has some almost jarring moments that amaze it amazing, and the next song, getting better, sounds like it is not from this world. I could continue talking about how amazing every song is, but you get the picture. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100, perfect album

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jun 11 2024

A phenomenal jazz record. This one is generally known as the best of all time, but if i’m being honest I enjoy some of Coltrane’s other projects more than this one

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 12 2024

It’s mid. Honestly the story behind the album is very neat, with Grohl performing the entire album himself, but it’s a little needlessly noisy and generally uninspired imo. I won’t come back to it, and it’s neat only in novelty

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jun 14 2024

I LOVED this album. The guitar playing is amazing, and sounds honestly very similar to the Pink Floyd guitar playing coming out in this era. Not every song blew me away though, so it’s missing that coveted 5, but I will be returning to this album

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 17 2024

I enjoyed this a lot. The album was a very good classic rap album. However, it loses a couple points for me because of the time it was released. At this point in time, rap was doing so much more than just classic beats and mediocre flows with great poetry. If this was released 10 years earlier it’s a 4 or maybe 5

Guero by Beck
Jun 18 2024

This album kinda confused me a bit. I kept going back and forth on whether I liked it or not. I would hate two songs and then the next song would be an absolute banger. It’s a good album but I honestly don’t really see myself returning to much of it.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 20 2024

This album is the gold standard for guitar playing. I give a mediocre to the song structures and singing otherwise though. The album did sometimes feel a tad repetitive as well, with songs like Hey Joe kinda going nowhere.

Jun 21 2024

The first songs were groovy as hell. Got boring quick tho.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 28 2024

Amazing album and era defining but there are too many duds to give it a 5
