I rated arrival *only a 3* thinking it missed slower more emotionally deep songs besides Fernando which was my fav Turned out I was wrong , abbas synyhpop melancholy album just missed the mark with me

No one sets a mood , specially an introspective layered and somber mood quite like the cure. Perfectly ragged , polished but raw in the right ways , where other albums get stuck in top of ur mind . Robert smiths disintegration sneaks in the back . Never rushed , it dazzles you slowly by setting a mood and then being beautiful in pieces and being intriguing all the same . a classic, it’s hard to stop listening to it

a very intresting mix, nice deep lyrics, love the mesh of the different elements... i expect this to age well, specially the uniqueness of the jazz pop sound which im excited to try in diff contexts. a very strong 3.

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy an indie rock album this throughly but the two vocal dancers make this album very enjoyable . Hooting and howling , got the taste on our tongue are great catchy tracks , it’s an enjoyable listen end to end as well. The instruments don’t dazzle , a solid 3

Typically I like to save my 5s for albums that are conceptual , sound spacey and flow great. Revolver is not quite excelling in any of these categories although it flows well and embodies core 60s rock as well as any. It maybe close to a compilation than a convention 5 album for me but it’s hard to deny it when every single song is an add for me. Whether it’s the sole experimental track , tomorrow never knows or the ever catch taxman or the psycheldic yellow submarine, the revolver never misses . In its own very Beatles way, the revolver is excellence

Nice diverse casual listen , can totally sss myself bumping this on. Work day … but also nothing too crazy to my new age ear

Solid solid metal rock work , def rocked with it

A lot of adds here a lot of good singles few misses

A nice old sound but the album doesn’t have much to offer in 2024 and it’s not to me at least clear how it différents from other temptation work I’ve heard

Strong 3 light 4 Def a good listen, some memorable tracks no fillers and a solid sound .. shout is great track

The 115th dream maybe one of my fav Dylan songs , the song writing is specialist throughout and the highs are good and consistent … even songs like on the road again which I didn’t necessity keep are a great listen Maggie’s farm , Mr tambourine man etc etc it’s gems

The highs are mid , overall it’s mediocre but an interesting sound …. Worth a skim

Solid novel soudcscape , some good listen , not any lows very solid

It’s albums like this that make the whole provess sensible … perfect near skipless blend of electronic and rock .. timeless sound and blue dress ism my fav find this journey so far … MY FIRST 5!

just not a fan, the lo-fi was really hard to get into specially after listening to violator... a decent listen but was hard to get into it , right afte the first 5, we have the first 1 !

Clean polished and a solid listen, only one track really stands out — drop the pressure . The sound is generally enjoyable just doesn’t offer standout in the 2024 climate it helped build

Very good listten , the guitar is great in parts , lyricism is good and vocals are very good .. just below amazing it’s a sharp 3

The guitar work is amazing , the vocals are very good … classic consistent quality but just a bit lower on the wow factor , a solid 4/5

A pioneering and classic rap album , sounds dated on maybe the other side of raps peak. still, chuck D grabs your attention and the production is interesting. Not a fan of Flav, his solo track is a hard skip A few listens got me used to the sound and made it enjoyable but i don’t see a lot of replay value here , not in 2024 … i bet if it was 88 though id have this on repeat

The vocals are outstanding , the instrumental is very simplistic and doesn’t add much . The album itself sounds kind of dated and the story telling doesn’t resonate like some of the oldies to me . It’s a strong listen but with little replay value for me

The second album in my heavy metal journey and good one at that , the org and electric guitar interplay stands out, the vocals are solid Can’t wait to run to this, just short of that rare perfect tier , a solid 4

on the softer side of rock, travis doesn't offer anything too intriguing. The vocals are good specially notable in songs like as you are, its catchy in parts but i dont see too much replayable value here. Did't havee to slug through it though , a light 2/5

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy an indie rock album this throughly but the two vocal dancers make this album very enjoyable . Hooting and howling , got the taste on our tongue are great catchy tracks , it’s an enjoyable listen end to end as well. The instruments don’t dazzle , a solid 3

A classic post punk rock album with classic tracks (w/wo you ) and still haven’t found , clean solid production and good vocals. The lyricism is solid and the drum is tight and consistent. The sound seems predictable in 2024 and I don’t seem to get enough out of active listening to give it that 4 stamp

Repetitive hooks, limited replay value, feels too simplistic after deeper listens.

Clearly ahead of its time, a great work in creating an ambiance with instruments and exploring diffent moods … Not aloe of replay value and seems like an album that might grow on me … me not being a huge fan of ambiance music and the sound being replicated so many times now makes it hard for me to put it higher than a 3 but the innovation and spacey vibe of the album makes it hard to go lower A solid 3 with chance for long term appreciation

I enjoyed the guitar at parts , the sound is rough but it grew on me … the guitar solos stand out here and there but overall its not an easy listen… I suspect I’ll appreciate having heard this in my music journey though

Strong storytelling, great production, could have been shorter or included more features.

It’s a cool historic listen but doesnt offer much in 2024 , would be cool live , maybe by campfire ?

A very good listen , high level production and quality . A couple of standard out tracks specially don’t give up is special. A strong 3

Consistent quality ; love the piano work :) light vocals solid mood setting … lacking replay singles , strong 3

Very fun listen, clean polished and beautiful lyrics , right at great short of amazing a very solid 3

In this folk classic, Dylan who I always have a sore spot for puts out multiple classic tracks . Blowing in the wind , hard rain gonna fall are amongst my all time favs .. .. However I have to admit the album had some slower spots and doesn’t offer much in its instrumentals ( as folk music rarely does ) … Regardless the lyricism , and my fandom for Dylan and the classic status of half a dozen tracks here makes this a solid 4

Solid soundscape specially for the time , fun listen but the language barrier limits my application .

My third Dylan already in less than 30 , have to admit the sound is getting repetitive … with 4 adds in 9 and some classics like Rolling Stones , ballad of thin man and highway 61 this is yet another class Dylan wouldn’t wana miss Ultimately I’m landing on where I did for the previous Dylan projects , a solid 4 .

Nice in parts. Very classic rock vibes and some nice parts . Don’t see a ton of replay values , it’s always nice to hear some melancholy rod Stewart though … a firm 2 A nice example of an album where I enjoy side B more than A

a very intresting mix, nice deep lyrics, love the mesh of the different elements... i expect this to age well, specially the uniqueness of the jazz pop sound which im excited to try in diff contexts. a very strong 3.

Classic folk stuff , always enjoy the genre even if I get 5 this week , I think I prefer an older raspier cohen… a notch below Dylan and Joni Mitchell, a mid level 3 .

apparently my taste has evolved as this indie rock album captured me pretty quick. They were times (opening few songs ) and the instrumentals around attack el robot which made me consider a high score here Unfortunately the vocals are ultimately underwhelming and some of the songs in the middle sound repetitive and lost my for a bit. I can see myself replaying this a few times but not ultimately a special one , landing at a 3

A solid work in country, catchy tunes and a fun listen… did I enjoy it ? For sure … would I have been ok to die and not have heard it ? Ya probably . Historical impact aside , a solid 2

An unbelievable debut album, LZ1’s drums guitar , the progressive rock and the beautiful guitar sound keeps you engaged the entire time Closing in on a perfect album, LZ1 lacks slightly in polish and suffers from having only a few replayable single songs … a classic , LZ1 is a high level 4

A fun and solid punk rock album which outside of pulse beat track does not offer much ground breaking , Regardless a fun and interesting listen , excited to run or workout to this … idk if a punk rock could ever make it to a 4/5 for me though as this is fairly solid

Engaging in parts, intricate instrumentation, experimental but lacks consistent replay value; a sound that might resonate more with evolving taste over time.

A lot of classic pop tracks I’m pretty familiar with. It doesn’t dazzle as an “album” as opposed to a collection of great songs and the insuttumental is not outstanding enough but the song writing and catchyness and classic factors don’t let it drop below a solid 4

A pioneering blend of funk, soul, and rock; featuring socially conscious lyrics and energetic production. Strong performance but lacks constant replay value for me.

Iron Maiden’s debut album is an energetic and enjoyable listen that showcases the band’s raw talent and sets the foundation for their future work. The guitar work and musicianship are solid, delivering aggressive riffs and dynamic drumming. However, it lacks that special factor or standout qualities that would elevate it to a higher rating for me. It’s a fun album but doesn’t leave a lasting impression compared to other classics in the genre.

a fun time , a good listen. I def seem to have a soft spot for 60s rock/ pop rock. A lot of songs are catchy , not beatles catchy but a good time. It doesn't stand out anywhere to warrant a 4 or above for me but I also did enjoy bopping my head and dancing around all morning to it too much to rank it lower. KICKS JUST KEEP GETTING HARDER TO FIND

Fan of Johnny for sure but just couldn’t get into this album , got this mid trip in Miami so the mood wasn’t really appropriate but have it marked as a revisit when I’m back home probably in a dark room late at night

It’s def old school and a throwback but nothing really stands out for me , it’s a fun enough listen to keep it from being a 1 but lacks the depth I neee to put it into “good” 3 category

love the mood setting, the calm story telling, the beautiful background instrumentals .. the concept and lyricism in intriguing and makes me wana listen more intently. I will revisit this for sure until i have feel like i have graspped the full story but its a very fun listen without it still

First Stevie wonder! Living for the city 🔥 One of my fav and most respected artists out there … def a project I will revisit over and over “Innervisions” by Stevie Wonder is an outstanding album that masterfully blends soul, funk, and R&B with innovative use of synthesizers and complex arrangements. Stevie’s expressive vocals and thought-provoking lyrics tackle significant social issues like racism, drug abuse, and urban struggles. Standout tracks like “Living for the City,” “Higher Ground,” and “Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing” showcase his ability to craft songs that are both musically engaging and deeply meaningful. Overall, “Innervisions” offers a compelling and influential listening experience that highlights Stevie Wonder’s artistic genius and maturity.

Super fun, very pop … tempted to rate this a 4 ( which would be my highest pop album ) but ultimately a pop rock as an album fails to impress me as much as other genres … At the same time i see high replay single value here and a fun time with a record I can put on in many happy occasions and singles I will certainly return to if there were a couple of more Fernando 🔥🔥🔥tracks this would be a serious 4

Enjoy this the more and more updated. This is one of those albums that is really a sentiment to my growing taste throughout this jourjey … Heavy metal and grunge are strongly growing on me Home sick , country yard and the title track are strong rotation plays going forward as is the album … a very strong 3

It’s the sgt pepper lonely heard clubs band ! While Not my fav Beatle, this album is beautiful. She’s leaving home is brilliant , a day in life didn’t lick with me as much . Most other songs are really fun , def enjoyed the thestry ones the most out the rest .. I’m sure I’ll have a couple of 5 Beatles albums ( revolver) but this one is just a tad below

Classic heavy metal work I had heard before , it has a very strong start but I’m not a a fan of the B side Unforgiven and nothing else matters are some of my fav side and the upbeat tracks like sandman compliment it well

Not a fan , a couple of songs briefly grabbed my attention but this mix of punk pop rock is not for me

Really enjoyed this , specially the first lesson was super fun … a lot off adds ,great guitar work and intriguing lyrics … enjoyed the jazz incorporation and clean polished sound , specially impressive for 1972… ultimately just short of a 5, as i felt the last couple of tracks were a letdown and the album sound as a whole lacks long term replay value ( but has great short term one) it’s a very strong 4

It’s a fun album I like the sound and the vibe but it just didn’t rock with me today. I’ll revisit it down the road see if it plays differently … Silent all these years is def a stand out and I like hearing some jazz vibes always , getting this after steely dan hurt its value

Just couldn’t get into it , indie rock has been changing my opinion of it throughout this journey but this one just didn’t move the needle for me , heard it a few times moving on

Very moody and clean produced, beautiful singing … happiness is nice but most singles don’t stand out but I can def see a use and enjoyment out of album replay

my first album on this journey that I actually heard when it dropped! hile yeezus was controversial, i was always a fan of the mood and the dynamic productions. Not my favourite kanye album i cant deny the impact this has had on my listening patterns and how many of this songs dominate my workout and other playlists .. the nina simone sample is specially beautiful

Couldn’t quite get into it , will have it down for re- listens down the road … like the moody calm jazzy vibes for sure , see it as something I could def work too or pop into a vinyl on a winter afternoon

A lot of good songs I can appreciate , for some reason I can’t quite get through this as an album without zoning out however the vibe and sound is highly enjoyable .

A nice work of early hip hop with multiple notable tracks ( it’s tricky ) and an Aerosmith feature … it’s not something I’d play back too often but it’s a fun enough listen and the raw energy is enjoyable

The title track is a classic and there’s some nice other singles here but it falls short of the quality of his group works and the experimental tracks sound too rough in most places for my liking

A handful of classic tracks here for me , love the signing for most parts and subject matter … instrumental lack of depth keeps it just below a 4 for me but a very good listen and strong 3

Some fun parts , no track stands out nothing that makes me wana replay but it was diff and viby enough to merit a low 2

Fun vibes and a good listen nothing I’ll play back too often but something to throw on a late evening

Super polished and fun listen , some of the track feelings can get repetitive over time but it’s def an album I see with s lot of replay value. There are few but enough skips for me to stop this from being a 5 in conjunction with the repetitive feeling at times it’s a low to mid 4/5

Nothing stands out here, it’s not a hard listen but not one I expect to visit often

its very polished and a nice sooth sound. It doesn't have that wow factor and doesn't resonate with me enough emotionally to grant it a 4 but glad to have heard it. I think a lot of album is spent waiting for an upbeat catchy moment which never quite comes , but enjoyable non the less

Fun experimental album , not a lot of replay value for me but I can appreciate some of the experiments

Fun themed album and good to have in the library to put on on a Christmas but nothing special musically

My first Costello ! I can see a lot of the talent here and it’s certainly polished and well produced with good vocals and instrumental work . It doesn’t have the consistency or z factor for me to give it a 4 but it’s a very solid work and enjoyable listen

Typically I like to save my 5s for albums that are conceptual , sound spacey and flow great. Revolver is not quite excelling in any of these categories although it flows well and embodies core 60s rock as well as any. It maybe close to a compilation than a convention 5 album for me but it’s hard to deny it when every single song is an add for me. Whether it’s the sole experimental track , tomorrow never knows or the ever catch taxman or the psycheldic yellow submarine, the revolver never misses . In its own very Beatles way, the revolver is excellence

I’m not usually one to put on a jazz album but something very soothing and soulful about this def kept me engaged . I’m not sure where it will fall within my rotation but def glad to have heard it

Despite being exactly the type of album I’m looking for on this journey with it being a popular rock artist which I haven’t heard before the Kings of Leon Shaked heartbreak fail to impress me in any substantial way While the album is a fun lesson, it is neither technically impressive or catchy enough or experimental enough to grant a higher score than a 2 for me

Blues psychedelic rock mixed with folksy vibes , and successful experimental work .. just the type of album that hits the right spots for me… Haven’t heard much of the doors before but they lived up to the hype

Nice mellow and polished folky rock , i don’t see a ton of replay value for me as the album doesn’t differentiate itself from its time but a good listen and could make for some fun late night mellow listening

This album def grew on me in multiple listens , it’s post punk but melodic and at times orchestral It’s just below amazing for me in all of these categories to justify a 4 but def a worthwhile listen and maybe just unique enough to not be lost in all the 70-80s rocks albums

Every picture tells a story drags a little at times , but I enjoy rod Stewart raspy voice and specially the melancholy pieces It’s not quite at the level of led zepplin in its instrumental but it’s compact and fun . Rods voice doesn’t work as well in the more lively instrumentals like I know I’m losing you and the rock progression is not up to bar with the best , keeping this a notch below the top tier for me

Def a fun listen and very smooth in the background, this album didn’t quick impress me enough while I appreciate the technical skills and lyricism It maybe getting seemingly a dozen early 70s rocks album in a row but the level of enjoyment wasn’t higher than a 3 for me

A lot of classic singles I’m familiar with and had in rotation for years . The production is layered and polished , 50s bars don’t blow your mind but keep a nice Flow and fit in seamlessly with the production for the most part The subject matter is stagnant and the album flow is ok . It’s lacking that wow factor as an album for me to put it in the upper echelon but a high and solid 3

Wasn’t a fan of garage rock or its early revival , but I found white strips pretty fun to listen to … multiple songs stood out in the first side ; I wonder if this is a gateway for me to listen to more of the genre

Was excited to hear this as I’m a fan of their later out of time and automatic for the people albums . Unfortunately this album didn’t really click with me and i added just a song or two … a low 2

I rated arrival *only a 3* thinking it missed slower more emotionally deep songs besides Fernando which was my fav Turned out I was wrong , abbas synyhpop melancholy album just missed the mark with me

Def not a genre I’m super familiar with but screaming trees seems to be great st capturing the essence of grunge The moody lyrics raw instrumentals fill a soundscape . The vocals are ok imo and the instrumentals don’t dazzle

Big fan of Sade and super familiar wit this album , not my fav Sade but no one does smooth quite like Sade … soulful and poppy and beautiful … a stable in my rotation

Enjoyed this more than their other album, still don’t love the sound but it did grew on me enough to give it a few extra listens

Emotionally connecting attention seeking voice . A worthwhile listen but it does get repetitive and feels draggy at times

A very mellow enjoyable listen and sound

Ahead of its time , it’s funky catchy in parts and an easy listen in all the good ways . I think this would have been one of my fav albums if I was listening in 1969. 55 years or so later it holds up, it’s experimental in all the right ways , the instrumentals are fun and interesting and it holds up on replays

I like Peter Gabriel and Collins and some genesis and tried to get into this project . Unfortunately , even after a couple of listens it just didn’t click for me . It strikes me as something that may grow on me overtime if I keep revisiting but as for today, it’s hard to say I liked it

British folk rock super warm and upbeat love the medleys and the voice is beautiful

No one sets a mood , specially an introspective layered and somber mood quite like the cure. Perfectly ragged , polished but raw in the right ways , where other albums get stuck in top of ur mind . Robert smiths disintegration sneaks in the back . Never rushed , it dazzles you slowly by setting a mood and then being beautiful in pieces and being intriguing all the same . a classic, it’s hard to stop listening to it

A very unique mesh , kinda a modern day price Pyramids bad religion are very beautiful , I don’t quite connect with the A side as well but love the closing half … never these a very strong debut album with great vocals and unique and interesting mesh of sounds

The album is melancholy perfection . Manages to make its own space is a pretty crowded folky dark music vibes by going darker than most

Well here officially does my fav run of about 7 great albums going back to the bayou … I get that this album is supposed to be satirical but I guess most jokes are lost on me in the bad music.. there’s really only small parts of this I find listenable , although the ugly song was funny

Initially disappointed grew to enjoy it throughout the day … it doesn’t have the spike hard non stop energy of I but it’s beautiful in its progressions , the guitar is forever amazing … the folky mellow tracks are a weaker spot imo but it is distinctly and in all the good ways , led zeppelin

Very polished for an indie , beautiful samples but doesn’t blow your mind. I can def see myself coding to this
