Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

This is barely an album, sounds like it was made by people who hate music and are taking their anger out on it.

Jul 25 2024

Almost every track overstays it's welcome a bit, how are they all 5+ minutes sitting on the same beat. Even the best beat gets boring after that long. Didn't like the sampling of 21st century schizoid man, don't think it meshes well and just makes me wish I was listening to the better song. I like the use of the electric guitar on the album, not used to hearing that in hip hop. The album goes out on a high, perhaps the tightest tracks on the album. I don't know, the highs are really high but it feels pretty bloated. There's not a lot to keep me coming back to it tbh, other than a couple of tracks. 4/5

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath

A more mellow Black Sabbath album that has lovely moments

Too sexy

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Not a lot of variety but I like what is there 3.5/5

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire

Light 4/5, lots of great moments

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian

Pretty lovely

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal

This transported me

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Aug 11 2024

I adore their noisy sound, although the final track on this album overstays its welcome imo

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Aug 12 2024

Lots of weird, seemingly random things on this album that fail to resonate with me at all. There's maybe one half-decent song on here.

World Clique by Deee-Lite

Pretty inoffensive, pretty uninteresting

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Aug 17 2024

The vocal pyrotechnics often undercut the emotional moments of the songs by distracting from them rather than emphasizing them. I also find her voice to just be grating at times. The instrumentals are nothing special at best, pretty corny at worst.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 19 2024

Don't really care for the opening track and it's all downhill from there.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Aug 21 2024

There are some good moments, but the production is mostly so washed-out that it sounds like I'm hearing a song from the club next door.

Dummy by Portishead

Brothers by The Black Keys

It's not bad, but it feels a little flat throughout

Kid A by Radiohead
