Murmur by R.E.M.

Sorta background rock. Unremarkable to me but not bad

Murmur by R.E.M.
Aug 04 2024

Sorta background rock. Unremarkable to me but not bad

1989 by Taylor Swift
Aug 05 2024

Catchy. Too poppy for my taste.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 06 2024

Really beautiful instruments. Not necessarily music I’d listen to outside of this album but all together it was lovely

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 07 2024

Liked more than previous listens. Great buildups, clearly talented band. More groovy than most rock

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 08 2024

Decent, sorta became background music. Still haven’t figured him out

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Aug 09 2024

From the initial blues riff, very good. One I will re listen to and break down.

Aug 11 2024

I don’t mind weird voices, and I typically like experimental softer stuff ala Cotten Jones, etc. the instruments were good too but something didn’t click. This one dragged for me

Aug 13 2024

Vile but perversely refreshing. Like taking an ice bath in ammonium. One of the few records I allow myself to skip on. The hits and unmistakeable style prevent it from anything less than a 4

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 15 2024

Fine. Still don’t see the Bowie magic. At least this one had a couple more experimental interesting tracks

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Aug 16 2024

Pretty solid. 3.5 if I could give it. No Aja or Reeling in the years

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Aug 17 2024

Unremarkable. Sounded like 80s music before 80s music was a thing. I don’t love 80s music

Guero by Beck
Aug 19 2024

Fire. Biased by familiarity but it shined more than I remember.
