Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Sep 27 2024

a complete album, with a definitive sound that carries throughout, with uniqueness I'm every song. this album sets the bar.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Sep 28 2024

5/10 this is a good album, but it's not a good listen this is the kind of album that I would use as ambient music in a very 'alt' bar, with a lot of right angles and shiny metal, and it's the kind of album ppl will use as samples for other S tier albums but at the same time it's not something you would LISTEN listen to, y'know?

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Sep 29 2024

honestly? dude has what 4? 5? songs I love this genre and honestly I was vibing crazy with the guitar for the most part but everything else is a let down. ik it isn't exactly the genre for quick simple jams but it really starts to get old after the first 5 minutes

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Sep 30 2024

I'm realizing I might be biased because I love this genre and these guys have basically mastered the genre the only complaints I can think of are nitpicks, like the mastering on the lead vocalist 8.5/10

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Oct 01 2024

it's very good. very very good. but not quite the 'peak' of what could be. 8.5

evermore by Taylor Swift
Oct 02 2024

terrible. terrible production, cookie cutter songs, non-existent instrumentals, basic bitch lyrics, zero creativity. this album does not deserve to be in the 1001. not unlistenable, so I'm not going with the nuclear option of 0 or 1 2/10

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Oct 04 2024

very good blues but I don't really love blues that much the baseline for good blues 6/10

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Oct 05 2024

the grandfather. the origin of metal. every song is iconic. not a missed beat.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Oct 07 2024

meh not good, not bad idk if it deserves to be in this list but it wasn't a painful listen 3/10

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Oct 08 2024

pretty good, but they need to figure out a better vocalist and someone to actually mic the vocals 6/10

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Oct 10 2024

really good. two iconic songs and a very very solid album overall. 8/10

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 11 2024
California by American Music Club
Oct 13 2024

pretty fire big fan

Oct 15 2024

best album so far, incredible production incredible lyricism incredible messages 10/10

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Oct 16 2024

edgy for the sake of being edgy, lyricism is pretty good and production is classic not exactly mind-blowing though 5/10

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Oct 17 2024

fun and enjoyable, but doesn't stand out it's standing on the edge between punk and surf and it's really comfortable there. I would listen to this in a drop top by the shore. 6/10

Crazysexycool by TLC
Oct 18 2024

pretty good, very very RnB, and a couple iconic songs but it's not an album I would revisit 6/10

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Oct 19 2024

not as good as I wanted it to be. the kind of music that a band would play at a live bar; no one is really listening to the music but it's a nice accomp to a conversation 5/10

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Oct 23 2024

sounds like someone found a sample pack and turned each one into a song. without making a song. and just looping each sample ad infinitum. 3/10

Queen II by Queen
Oct 24 2024

pretty damn good. this is what "queen" sounds like, very definitive, very good. nothing stands out but not because it's bland but because each song is equally interesting and good. 7.5/10

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Oct 25 2024

meh 6/10

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 29 2024

overhyped couple good songs, pretty good lyricism but it's really flat. 5/10

The Specials by The Specials
Oct 30 2024

pretty fun, plus opened with a harmonica do extra points 6/10

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Oct 31 2024

classy, fun. nothing iconic but a good listen 6/10

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 01 2024

queen, but straight. one of the greatest albums finds ever, I'm absolutely I'm live with it. doesn't miss throughout the whole album, had stand out tracks all over, great use of instruments, a lot of fun. 10/10

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Nov 14 2024

heavy, maybe too heavy it's definitely a statement, and I enjoy music like this but there's only a couple stand out songs like Sugar, and the rest are just loud 5/10

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 15 2024

very experimental? there's a lot going on in every song, definitely too much going on. there's a gem or two in there but not worth the rest of the album 3/10

OK by Talvin Singh
Nov 22 2024

experimental Indian, pretty good 6/10

Signing Off by UB40
Nov 29 2024

very reggae, not my style but definitely fun 5/10

Who's Next by The Who
Nov 30 2024

got the Baba O'Riley, the rest is pretty good too. good sound, pretty consistent but not all same-y 7/10

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Dec 01 2024

was not expecting this to be as good as it was, really fun and surprisingly not too heavily dependant on Karma Chameleon. 7.5/10

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 02 2024

meh? I don't really know what I was expecting from a Parton album but it definitely sounded like what I imagined a Parton album to sound like, without being iconic the way I hoped it would be 5/10

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Dec 06 2024

ngl, really good. dunno about the history stuff but this feels like the progenitor of black music's shift from being primarily blues to soul. you can feel the blend as the album progresses. 9/10
