Murmur by R.E.M.

Jangly and catchy, but not exactly memorable

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 19 2024

Sounds like exactly what I expected to hear. The musicality is great, but each track is very similar, and so it all kind of mushes together for me. It's vibey.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jun 21 2024

Joni Mitchell's voice is amazing. Gilmore Girls vibes.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jun 24 2024

No idea who this is. Catchy and positive piano playing. Makes me think a little of a bluesy Reich set of pieces.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jun 26 2024

Solid riffs, several super popular songs that are still good despite overplay.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jun 28 2024

It's butt punk! Attitude and power chords of punk, but with tons of meedlies and squeedlies and silly song titles. It's wild.

The Clash by The Clash
Jul 22 2024

Sounds like...The Clash

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jul 25 2024

He's got a nice voice. Very 70s. Too long. Love his irreverence, though. Intro was surprising!

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jul 29 2024

This whole album is banger after banger. An iconic voice and great 80s synth stuff.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 31 2024

Jangly and catchy, but not exactly memorable

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Aug 09 2024

Yep, sounds like Neil Young. Some stuff I recognize from the radio or something. Voice is acquired taste, but harmonies are wonderful.

Stankonia by OutKast
Aug 12 2024

Several very good songs. Flow is on-point. Could do without so many interstitial things, but eh.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 13 2024
Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Aug 15 2024

Ominous, textural, moody vibes. Such good, very recommend

Vespertine by Björk
Aug 22 2024

Love this album.

Play by Moby
Aug 27 2024
Purple Rain by Prince
Sep 03 2024

Fantastic. Holds up.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Sep 10 2024

Classic. Full of bangers. "Just Leave Me Alone" is underrated.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 11 2024

Basically perfect. No notes.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Sep 18 2024

This is between a 3 and a 4 for me. It's got some huge hits on it, and then it's got some ok stuff. I think I might actually be losing my affinity for Robert Plant's wailing.

Guero by Beck
Sep 23 2024

This might be my new favorite Beck album after being a Midnite Vultures stan for years.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Sep 25 2024

Interesting lyrics, decent voice. I can see why so many people cover him.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Oct 08 2024

Near-perfect album

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Oct 09 2024

Not their best. It's between a 3 and a 4.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 21 2024
Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Nov 22 2024

I didn't even get halfway through. It was competent blues rock, but it just sounded like the Rolling Stones without the panache.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Nov 28 2024
Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Dec 18 2024

This album was an...experience. Was it pleasant? Unsure. It's a low 3/5 at best, because it's largely so odd and lacking in melody or structure, but it's still interesting.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 08 2025
Blur by Blur
Jan 10 2025
Dummy by Portishead
Feb 04 2025
Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 06 2025

This was surprisingly nice to listen to, despite never hearing of this band before. A 3.5+ from me.

Feb 19 2025

It's possible this Just Wasn't My Thing(tm), but besides a track or two, nothing really stuck with me.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 25 2025

Strong 3, but even though there are a lot of hits, the rest is so-so

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 14 2025
Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 17 2025

I've heard the hits a million times, and they're still good. Parallel Universe is great, too. The others are...fine.

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 05 2025
Drunk by Thundercat
May 15 2025
Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 22 2025

Was hoping this album's non-radio hits were as good...but they were not. Solid effort, but not as exceptional as it could've been.

GI by Germs
Jun 27 2025
Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 01 2025
The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jul 16 2025

Strong 3. Never heard them. The "singing" gets pretty monotonous after a while, but the music's cool. More varied in genre than I would've thought. Padded with way too much live/b-side stuff, though.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

55 years old, and still slaps.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Aug 11 2025

Money for Nothing is straight fire. The rest are...fine.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Aug 13 2025

Cry Me a River and Rock Your Body are still solid. The rest of it...is fine. Well-produced and catchy like you'd assume, but not overly memorable. Also, the whole thing is too long. I got tired of listening to it near the end and just stopped.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 15 2025

A classic. The whole thing is brilliant and brilliantly-played.

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 27 2025

Groovy and oddly interesting

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 28 2025

Title track is an all-timer, for sure, but the rest of the album is quite strong and up there with any other Elton John album.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Sep 09 2025

Prince is unique. He has an unmistakeable voice, lots of talent, and a great work ethic. There's plenty here to like, but there's also...too much. And only a handful of songs really stand out.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Sep 11 2025

The title track is still good, but it's not as good as I remember. The other tracks are...fine.

Harvest by Neil Young
Sep 15 2025
Sep 19 2025

This was a surprising 4/5 for me. Never heard of this artist, nor was I familiar with any of his band's (Smog) output. It was weird and trippy and entrancing.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Oct 14 2025
Django Django by Django Django
Oct 15 2025

Pleasantly surprised by this! Has some real 80s flavor.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Oct 21 2025

Excellent production but not my favorite Massive Attack album

Kenza by Khaled
Oct 23 2025

Nice pop album. Imagine cover unnecessary. Too long.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Dec 05 2025

Surprisingly awesome. Lead singer is great.

Dec 11 2025

Listened to this so much in college (00s) that I didn't even need to listen to it this time. Excellent big beat, uh, beats, and memorable vocals (one that comes to mind I probably shouldn't type here ;P).

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Dec 12 2025

Had no idea what to expect, and enjoyed myself quite a bit. An interesting mix of stuff to listen to.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 13 2026

It was neat. The story behind it is slightly more interesting than the music. Still...enjoyable.

Jan 15 2026

First Motörhead album I've ever listened to before. All excellent songs, but kind of same-y. Solid effort. High 3!

Jan 16 2026

nice production, cool beats, good flow, but too self-indulgent. had to give up about 2/3 of the way through

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 27 2026

I think this is nearly a perfect album. All the riffs are great. Nearly ever song is a banger. 4.9/5

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 03 2026
Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Feb 13 2026

Excellent singing. Surprising variety of genres.

Debut by Björk
Feb 25 2026
Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 04 2026

Good stuff.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Apr 03 2026
Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Apr 24 2026

Title track is so full of joy and wonder. The rest of it is also good, but not quite to that level.
