The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

1-Already more instrumentally upbeat than funeral but the lyrics are kinda gloomy and dark, love the chorus and bridge 2-Insane transition already. Key change?, not as great alone but so far great at creating an overall listening experience or identiy 3-Ending the last with being ready to start and now having to wait, great songwritting, repeating imagery, bleak as shit great so far in company of the other 2. The second half I would have to eventually relisten to the same care but overall it gave a feel of contemporary moral apocalypse.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Nothing that made me drop my hat but overall inmaculate vibes. 3.5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Lil'Ghetto boy is the most interesting produced one IMO. 10 track wack. The soundscape overall great and highly influential, the lyrics can stay there. Not here for the skits, produce the opposite of what he's trying to portray

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

The art cover really sounds like the first track and I would bet the rest of the album, so far an interesting soundscape. Vibing a lot more with the second track The name-sake single is clearly a stand-out

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

It felt a bit repetitive but it picked up again, not my usual listening choice but for sure a great album

War

2/5

Liked how the backing vocals were produced. Left feeled overall overwholmed and like it didn't evolve or change enough

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

3/5

First half: I like the sound and the overall vibes but for now it doesn't offer a diverse listening experience A good thing to point out is how even if the individual tracks carry the same sound each one feels like it could be enjoyed on it's own.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Incredible evolution in the fourth track, overall a solid and clear idea for the soundscape, wanted it to explore it further.

Repeater

Fugazi

4/5

Loved the ending track of the original release of this LP, bleak.

Nowhere

Ride

2/5

I don't like how the vocal performance matches with the lyrics and instrumentation to which I'm vibing more with. It does acomplish at making the listener wander off while listening. Left feeling super overwhelmed specially as someone who enjoys shoegaze.

Bert Jansch

4/5

needle of death and the instrumental tracks were my favourite

Tidal

Fiona Apple

5/5

Incredible debut for one of the best artists and poets of this generation

Playing With Fire

Spacemen 3

2/5

The Stone Roses

4/5

Love the chambery feel of the firsts tracks and then it lost my interest a bit, still really liked it, 3.5 to a 4

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

They weren't there yet with the balance of tragedy, playfullness and despair we now associate with the smiths in their lyrics but the sound was there and it is very recognizable theirs. The second half of the Lp I like a lot more I think

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

Having this much of an identity as a band on your second lp is insane the big country, found a job and take me to the river are the standouts

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5

Think I'm descovering something I vibe with that I didn't knew I vibe this much with before. You're a beast made me so uncomfortable I had to stop the listening tho. A good thing? a bad thing? I don't think it was well executed nor poingnant as the rest of the LP, saddens me that it sours what was being a perfect listening experience. I think the satire befomes a little bit snobish.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Underwhelming, second track is awful

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

Really good

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

4/5

Vibing with the sound from the get-go, 3 tracks so far that I think were really good. Solid.

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

4/5

Listened to the 2 hour version, the highlights for me were the instrumentals

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

I liked the vibe, lost me a bit with the duration of some of the tracks but it's surprising this came before the 80's, notes of pink floyd, joy division and new order.

I don't know what I was expecting but scooby doo chase music wasn't it, and YVZ was a vibe, camera eye too.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

4/5

Good opening, the instrumentation acompany really well the lyrics. Love the sound, it makes it up for the pretty simple lyricism. Track connection ups the overall narrative.

3/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

I don't know if I ever listened to it from the top. Was vibing hard but I didn't like the third track cecilia, even if it does add variety, and from there I just never fully reconected.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

Not much to say, I like country and I like dolly, a good listen

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

3/5

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

2/5

The most medium listen so far

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

2/5

first six tracks, insomniac, vibing a lot and making my night more vearable, really good storytelling, has a conventional storytelling style but it's not stale so far. Could use less slurs. Also the end of respect grossed me out and made me drop the rating and then the last one fucking killed it for me, disgusting.
