Boston by Boston
Aug 11 2024

Hit after hit. You would be hard pressed to find an album as successful when it comes to radio play. Almost all of the songs on this album are still played regularly and for good reason. Love the energy and I'm a sucker for a good organ sound which this album definitely delivers in spades.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 12 2024

Couldn't even listen to this whole thing. How can they have Rumors and have this also?

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Aug 13 2024

Some good sounds but couldn't get in to it.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 19 2024

A few great songs but the rest seems to be all the same. And It Stoned Me - Somewhat awkward beginning, soft, but delivers some good instrumentation. What is Jelly Roll? Moondance - Familiar song. Sounds like some old lounge songs. Good. Crazy Love - Too soft for me Caravan - Sounds like just another Van Morrison song Into the Mystic - Familiar classic. Good. Come Running - Starting to tire of this style These Dreams of You - Another similar sounding song to my ears with some solos Brand New Day - More of the same. I need some more energy Everyone - Forgettable Glad Tidings - Seems a little more upbeat but not enough

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 20 2024

Not my favorite era of The Beatles, but Don't Bother Me has some hint of what they could become. It Won't Be Long - Not bad All I've Got To Do - Ok All My Loving - Ok. Chorus is good. Don't Bother Me - Nice groove Little Child - Not for me Till There Was You - Not a bad cover Please Mister Postman - More covers Roll Over Beethoven - Better cover Hold Me Tight - Not bad You Really Got A Hold On Me - And another cover. Only ok. I Wanna Be Your Man - Ok, kinda catchy. Devil In Her Heart - Ok, but another cover Not A Second Time - Ok I guess Money (That's What I Want) - Another cover but I like this song Why are the songs so short? Also the cover: We don't have room for Ringo so I guess just put him down in the corner.

Aug 21 2024

I think all of this was new music to me. An ok listen but nothing that memorable for me.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Aug 22 2024

Somehow never heard any of this wonderful album before. Supergrass has a new fan. Every song was great except for the last one because I hated the ungh sound they were using for the bass line.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Aug 23 2024

I am not a fan of screaming music, so I gravitate toward the songs that have less of that. The energy of the music is great especially those drums. Snuff is so good. Sulfur, Psychosocial, 'Til We Die, and especially Dead Memories are also really good. On more listening the other songs grew on me too.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 27 2024

Starts off soft, builds up, gets weird, and ends strong. Interesting to have the same song in two different forms as the bookends. Also interesting to have some live and some not songs.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 09 2024

Started strong. Not sure if country copied Elvis or what but it sounded very country other than the first song.

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 10 2024

Good album. Not all great but very good. Never been a fan of Yellow Submarine.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 11 2024

Great songs from a great band. Not all are great but enough to deserve its 5 stars.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Sep 12 2024

Not my style but not a bad listen.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Sep 13 2024

I liked the sound but it did seem to be repetitive.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Sep 16 2024

Good music but only a couple things stand out for me. The Sixteen Saltines and Weep Themselves To Sleep stood out as memorable.

Be by Common
Sep 17 2024
Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Sep 20 2024

Starting out hating this album. It grew on me though and was worth a few listens.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Sep 24 2024

Actually enjoyed several of these songs even though it is from so long ago.

Tommy by The Who
Sep 25 2024

Not my favorite Who music but do respect the effort to make an album that tells a whole story. I especially liked the 'tures. Never been a fan of Pinball Wizard.

Dec 30 2024

I know I have heard some good Radiohead music but I didn't recognize any of these and the vocal were so grating to my ears that I was barely able to make it through once.

The White Album by Beatles
Dec 31 2024

Barely went with a 5 on this one. It has some great songs but as a double album there are quite a few songs that distract from them.

Real Life by Magazine
Feb 27 2026

Surprised by this album from a group I don't think I had any knowledge of. Not a bad track on there. Sounds like it could have been released 30 years later than it actually was and still seem fresh.

Has several songs that should put it at 5 stars, but overall doesn't feel like a 5 star album.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

Phrenology by The Roots
Jul 08 2026

Wish I could rate this higher but just has a couple hits and the rest not super great.

The 60s reborn

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jul 30 2026

Opening track is 5 star but the rest of the album not so much
