Calenture
The Triffids
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.

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!!

Blonde On Blonde
Bob Dylan
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 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.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness
The Smashing Pumpkins
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Gillian Welch
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.

Bob Dylan
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.

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.
