The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

Okay now this I really dig. Haha surprise surprise I like the electronic-y album and band. I dunno who these dudes are and maybe that’s stupid of me bc they have 4mil monthly Spotify listeners it seems! But I liked this. made me think of the film scores I like by Trent reznor and Atticus Ross combined with the soundtrack to ATV Offroad Fury 2 on the ps2 which I played a lot as a child.

Calenture by The Triffids
Jun 27 2024

Hm I didn’t dislike it. I felt like it started off stronger and then just sort of went on for a little too long with the latter half being a lil too similar. But I liked it! I’d listen to it in the background happily. But I’m not like ITCHING to re-listen to it as much.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jun 28 2024

Once again, I didn’t dislike any of what I was listening to but it wasn’t the sort of stuff I ACHE to listen to again and again with all my attention. It’s good for the background. Cmon gimme another album like the first one I got!!

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 29 2024

I’ve ofc heard some little Richard over the years, but never a full album. so it was fun! just enjoyable upbeat stuff that makes ya feel nice.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jun 30 2024

Alright well I listened to about half of it and I’m unsure of if I’ll listen to the rest later bc I’m sorta busy but like. Look I get these are all good albums and I acknowledge that. I ain’t saying this is crap music. But I didn’t really enjoy listening to the first half of this album. It wasn’t for me.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 02 2024

Wowza. Wasn’t sure I’d be able to listen to a 2 hour album atm but nope made time and it was so nice to this while sitting by the water. I started reading while listening, and then a fourth through the album I stopped reading and just was listening. I definitely think the first disc was better than disc 2, although there were still plenty of great songs in the second half. I’m between rating this a 4 and a 5….because so many songs are just so lovely (a handful I knew already yayyyy), but there are also a handful that I didn’t LOVE. But that’s a small handful. 90% gorgeous.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 03 2024

So there were definite song highlights that I enjoyed quite a bit. And as a whole, decent album. There were just also a few points where it sorta meshed together and lulled but not really in a way I thought was BAD. But like. Not really in a standout way. And then that’d be broken up by a song that DID stand out and I was like hell yeah we’re back! So if I could, I’d give it a 3.5. But I can’t do that. So we’ll see if I end up on a 3 or a 4.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 04 2024

Wasn’t sure if I’d have time to get to this today but yayyyy I had time and it was the perfect sorta album to listen to while being in boring meetings all day and finally having a chance to listen to music again while finishing up the work day. Another case of “a couple songs really stood out, but most were just generally nice to listen to.” No real complaints. Really nice.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jul 05 2024

This is perfectly inoffensive, I wasn’t sitting there like “OH GOD TURN IT OFF!” But the entire time I was just thinking yeah this is fine I guess. This sounds like music. But the albums from this list are from a book called “1001 albums to listen to before you die” or something, and I don’t know that I NEEDED to listen to this before I die. Idk maybe one day I’ll learn that I did. But I don’t think this music will impact me in any grander scale. It was fine. But fine is just fine.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jul 06 2024

Cardinal sin of being boring idk. I wasn’t offended I guess. Just bored, gomen.

Jul 07 2024

I’d ideally give it a 3.5 because I did like it, but I felt like it got weaker as it went on. But generally good background listening.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jul 08 2024

It was nice! I don’t loooooove albums over 50 minutes tho generally I’m learning tho. It doesn’t mean I’ll hate it, and I didn’t hate this. I just at that point start to feel a lil tired out in a listen-through if it isn’t something I LOVE. But it was okay. Some songs stood out, so that’s a win enough for me.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 09 2024

It was a nice listen and I just generally enjoyed it. Maybe it’s more of a 3.5 but I’m feeling generous. I dunno I liked it. I wasn’t going crazy or anything, but yeah good.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jul 10 2024

I’m sorry, but no. The songs felt like the fake songs in the movie Ishtar but I liked those more because I could see the passion in their eyes because it was a movie.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jul 11 2024

I’m not a massive folk listener, I don’t listen to it often or know much by any means…but sometimes I do like a little folk and have an itch to scratch. This was a nice album to scratch the itch I occasionally get. :) a couple of the songs I liked less than others, but generally easy listening. First half was better than the second though.

Jul 12 2024

I mean people like Queen, it’s just solid music. But I’m not like a Queen head so it’s doesn’t make me go CRAZY PUMPED! I’m just like “oh cool this is nice!” 3.5 for that reason.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jul 13 2024

Okay I absolutely liked this more than the previous Bob Dylan album I listened to (Blonde on Blonde). I’m still not blown away, but the whole listening experience was fine and there were a handful of songs I’d listen to again. I guess that’s a win enough for me after not really liking the last one.

I’m a David bowie enjoyer ofc but not like the biggest expert ever who knows every album and song. One of those artists I think is awesome but casually so and haven’t listen to albums from back to front. So I dooooo feel like this didn’t include as many of my favorites of his and was solid but coulda had a touch more. But still epic.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jul 15 2024

3.5/5. Pretty consistently solid with a few standout songs. I enjoyed it, but I’m not deeply impacted by any of it. Would listen to again though.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 17 2024

I have no idea how to feel about this lmao. Starting off with a 20 minute song is bold, and tbh that song was probably my standout. It had some parts I dug. But it kinda went downhill after and nothing super perked up my ears. 2.5.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 19 2024

It’s not bad, it just didn’t really do anything for me.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jul 20 2024

I mean, awesome.

1984 by Van Halen
Jul 23 2024

Fun album, no real complaints ^_^

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jul 24 2024

Kinda more of a 2.5 bc it just felt very middle of the road to me. It was fine. Nothing stood out to me.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 25 2024

I dunno just plain enjoyable, not surprising duh ^_^ lots of familiar classics.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jul 26 2024

Hmmm I was looking forward to this one bc I know a handful of Steely Dan songs and I really like those songs buuuuut they’re all from Can’t Buy a Thrill…and ehhhhh this album didn’t quite get me as excited as those songs do. So I should just listen to that full album.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 27 2024

Just plain fun ^_^ also whenever I think of cyndi lauper I now think of a time a year ago when a parking garage attendant told me I looked like her and I was like oh thanks tbh I don’t really know what she looks like and then I looked up her picture and I was like damn that’s an awesome compliment.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Jul 31 2024

Easy enjoyable listening; electronic stuff is always nice.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 02 2024

Fine.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Aug 07 2024

Generally pretty chill with a few standout songs.

Aug 09 2024

It’s talking heads, man. I wouldn’t say this is my favorite stuff I’ve ever heard by em, but it’s still good duhhhhh

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 10 2024

Two talking heads albums in a row :0 hm I liked this one a little less though. Fine, but not as good as some of their other stuff.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Aug 14 2024

Really fun, plenty of songs I’d listen to again happily! When it came up on the generator, the band name and album cover looked soooo familiar and I was trying to figure out what song(s) I maybe knew from the album and nothing seems familiar from the title but then oh the song I knew came up and I was like ohhhhhhh.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 15 2024

Kinda a tiny tiny bit different from the Radiohead albums I’m familiar with, but still plenty of standouts and still really good!

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 18 2024

Awesomeness. So glad I finally listened to this entire album.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Aug 20 2024

Hmmmmm was going back and forth between a 4 and a 5 but I feel like it deserves a 5 bc I’m feeling generous. Really enjoyed it, plenty I’ll def be listening to again.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Aug 23 2024

I don’t know, I wasn’t offended by this. Wasn’t sitting there hating it. But if this came on in a restaurant, it’d be music that I wouldn’t even notice and would have no reaction to because I’d forget what it sounded like immediately.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Aug 24 2024

It was neat to recognize a couple of songs!

Gold by Ryan Adams
Sep 13 2024

It didn’t piss me off or anything, but it sure did absolutely nothing for me.
