High Violet

The National · 1 likes

2/5

I always thought of myself of a fan of The National, but revisiting this album I was surprised to find myself incredibly bored. It did prompt me to listen to Trouble Will Find Me and still really enjoyed that one. Idk! Maybe their stuff is too similar and I feel like TWFM does it best.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Kinda shocked how much of this album was burned into my brain. Listened to it a lot in high school but it’s never one I’ve revisited at all. A couple undeniable bangers but nothing incredibly exciting!

Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Nothing terrible but I did not connect with it at all! Sorry!

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

banger! fully prepared to have MASTER! MASTER! stuck in my head for a week. Tbh probably a 4.5 because I’m too much of a coward to give it a 5.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

as much as I'm a sucker for a pedal steel guitar, so much of this fell flat for me. I feel like others do country/rock better, even though the byrds seem like they were one of the firsts to do it. tbh I'm glad I listened to the rehearsal takes because I vibed with those way more, they felt much more textured and interesting. kinda funny reading that nashville was so against them because they had long hair when they literally have a whole ass song talking about how great jesus is. what a funny town!

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

so so so lovely. I love The Dangling Conversation so much, had it on repeat for awhile today. I love S&G. Randomly made me think a lot of Fleet Foxes early stuff so then I listened to Fleet Foxes for the rest of the day and that was nice :)

Garbage

4/5

hell ya!

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

didn’t love it!

Violent Femmes

3/5

Solid! probably nothing I’ll revisit too often but I had a great time listening

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

5/5

Such an undeniable legendary pop album. Listened to it twice today because I was having so much fun with it. Miss You Much is my fav I think, such a banger. I feel like Janet Jackson is often overlooked when talking about the greatest pop stars of all time, but you can see that a lot of what she did is in the DNA of many of the modern pop stars we love.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

love wilco! I think this album still holds up, it’s probably not my fav of theirs but it was very nice to revisit.

Dog Man Star

Suede

3/5

Tbh never heard of Suede before! Pretty solid album! Nothing I’d revisit often probably, might be basic to say but I’d much rather just put on Bowie instead of this

Crime Of The Century

Fela Kuti

4/5

Incredibly interesting reading about Fela Kuti’s story. Really loved the album and I’m glad to have discovered it here!

Gris Gris

Dr. John

4/5

Closer to a 4.5 - really loved this, there were some wild, psychedelic sounds happening. Would love to do mushrooms and listen to this while walking in a forest or something. Dr John seemed like a pretty interesting dude. I wanna go to New Orleans so bad!!!

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Nothing special but enjoyed having it on in the background!

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Had a ton of fun revisiting this. I never listened to a ton of Green Day but I always loved this album and I think most of it holds up pretty well. I bet they felt so clever making two songs actually one song

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

2/5

Kind of a slog to get through, didn’t really connect to any of it but there were hints of things I liked here and there

This is definitely a 4.5 for me - had such a good time with it. I already know I'm going to be revisiting this lots and I'm excited to discover more from richard & linda thompson

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Grew up passively listening to this album sooo much because my brother would listen to it all. the. time. There was a good couple of years where he would rotate between this and Pink Floyd’s The Wall every single day. So much of it has been burned into my brain but I still have never been a huge nirvana fan otherwise, so it was really interesting revisiting this on my own terms and actually really enjoying it!

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

4/5

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Incredibly nostalgic for me and liked a good amount of it, but nothing I really connect with now and don’t think I would ever revisit

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

3/5

Van Halen

3/5

quintessential dad rock!
