Sep 26 2024

Few stand outs songs, but the rest felt repetitive and hard to distinguish between them.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sep 27 2024

Biased because AC/DC is one of my favorite bands.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Sep 28 2024

Enjoyed this one a lot. I like the old school vibe it had.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 29 2024

I enjoyed the upbeat nature of this album

2112 by Rush
Sep 30 2024

I liked the music and enjoyed the back story / what the album was going for.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Oct 01 2024

Overall really enjoyed the album, sounds like Queen with a robot voice megaphone. Album is long though and felt hard to get through.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Oct 03 2024

Very emotionally deep album. Overall I enjoyed it.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Oct 04 2024

Very groovy baby, yeah

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 05 2024

I enjoyed this album over Automatic for the people. I feel like this album better represents the bands range while still having the same REM feel at the core of each song. I dig it and will definitely return to it in the future

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 06 2024

This album feels very bland to me. Most of the songs sound the same, have the same content, and none of them pop out at me. It’s one of those albums I had to read the lyrics as I was listening to understand what the sing was about. I do appreciate the dark / sad tones and themes of the album. And the fact she is a good singer is one of the only redeeming qualities of this album.

Oct 07 2024

Overall I m enjoyed this album. I like how the album starts off with Soul Machine line “He’s been given the power to take you where you want to go so start him up and tell him where you want” then proceeds to have a large variety of different soul based songs throughout the album. Only a few songs from the track that I didn’t like where I felt like the vocals clashed hard with the music and sounded like nails on a chalk board. Otherwise very solid album. Not necessarily an album I have a strong desire to return to but glad I experience it once.

Elephant by The White Stripes

Timeless by Goldie
Oct 09 2024

Cool sounds and shits.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Oct 10 2024

Much more a lyrical listen than a musical listen. Not my favorite but I appreciate what it’s going for and why some may like it more.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Oct 13 2024

Nice cozy album with a few stand outs.

xx by The xx
Oct 14 2024

I have realized after starting this project that I am not a fan of minimalist songs / albums. This entire album feels boring and repetitive. I can barely hear what the artist are singing which is supposed to be one of the most powerful parts of these kind of albums. Some cool beats but I also felt disappointed because I would hear some cool sounds that felt like they were going somewhere with a pay off but then would fall flat. The music isn’t bad per se but just not for me.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Oct 15 2024

Solid Jazz track that I would put on in the background while doing something else but nothing that jumped out at me or moved me.

Protection by Massive Attack
Oct 16 2024

One of my more favorite electronic albums on this program so far.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 20 2024

Very funky, I am a fan

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Oct 21 2024

This album feels like it would be to listen to if I was high. Not bad, but not great.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Oct 22 2024

Very beautiful album, definitely makes me want to dive into his other music.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Nov 06 2024

Decent listen but not something I would return to.
