Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 01 2024

Has some nice riffs and moments i very much enjoyed, but other than in 'heard it through the grapevine' the songs seemed to either waffle too much, or just to degenerate into a kind of bluegrass american south thing i could just as easily get from Cash.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Oct 02 2024

I like this a whole lot better than more recent rap, 90s hip-hop has a flow i can respect, and the ability to create a really solid groove out of like christmas bells or something totally mental is a skill AF + this album is fucking awesome as shit

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 03 2024

i really liked this album, the bright synths against the thumping bass, string arrangements set alongside prince's flowing vocals. there are a couple of weaker moments, but songs like 'purple rain' and 'computer blue' prove the weak spots the exception rather than the rule

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Oct 04 2024

This is much more my home territory, the influence of blues and hard rock, juxtaposed against more proggy tones ('child in time') resonates well with the music I already listen to. Specifically the distorted guitar tones, and the gliding organ solos fits my genre of choice. The bass riff on 'into the fire' is heavy AF, the organ slides on 'living wreck' too, and although not technically an original album track, I really like the main riff on Black Night. My only caveat being, and this goes for a whole lot of 70s rock, there's this high pitched vocal scream/shout thing a lot of heavy rock does that i dont really like but other than that.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Oct 07 2024

yeah i mean its fine. like i dont actively dislike it but i wouldnt go out of my way to listen to it. i like 'starlight' for its interesting chords, but really disliked 'jungle' - mainly because it was shit - didnt mind 'big wheels', 'mr blue sky' would be worse if it wasnt nostalgic

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Oct 08 2024

Man this is a fucking classic I've had an absolutely mental couple days but holy shit does this feel like a warm hug to get back to. I'm not gonna name specific tracks, it's too consistantly good and im way too delirious.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Oct 09 2024

its been pretty annoying so far, 'homesick's alright, some of the riffs are alright, punk isnt my thing like at all so. For an abum with such good guitar tones its pretty underwhelming. i quite like 'country yard' for its harmonies but if i want harmonies i'll just go the beach boys, and even in rare moments of enjoyment you get an absolute piece of shit tune like 'factory that totally fucking obliterates the vibe and or mood. feels more like a couple good songs and tonnes of badly written upbeat funk punk or whatever the fuck the intolerable parts are (which is most of it). again 'mary jane' is okay which is then immediately followed by 'aint no room' which features a guitar line remeniscent of an air raid siren, and equally as pleasant as one.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Oct 10 2024

I am really enjoying the baroque pop influences, a few tracks are really neat, and the dip in quality with those less good is not substantial. the use of effects creates a rich tapestry of sound, which, when complimented by the meandering fantastical lyrics, provides a pleasant listening experience. my highlights were 'nine pound hammer', 'magic hollow' - the only track i'd heard before, and 'the wolf of velvet fortune'

Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 14 2024

hard rock isnt so much my thing but man has this been good so far, the energy of the performance is stunning from the outset, replete with some killer bass licks its just a pretty cool album

Debut by Björk
Oct 15 2024

im so fucking ill i cant write a review i like this album

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 17 2024

Totally fuckd this one and didnt listen to it yesterday but i dug out my cd today and looked at the music video for bittersweet symphony and learned that everyone in this band hates eachother now. Pretty good album i like it. neo-psychedelic influences are interesting and lend a lot to the albums composition. beats fucking oasis.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Oct 18 2024

some really cool tracks, but others that just dont feel needed, i think i may have accidentally listened to the super extended version though

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Oct 21 2024

the sheer fucking sleeze i felt listening to this album is second only to the grimiest blues. unfortunately substantial drop in quality from like track 13 - dont even mind hey that much, one of them just doesnt fucking work for me and the rest of the album kinda suffered for it i guess. tracks like thin line and whats golden make this a really reasonable listen. interludes feel consistent and not even that pretentious.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 22 2024

yeah i mean its just soft rock really, sometimes with an extra special really boring twist but like

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Oct 23 2024

the instrumentation is pretty middle of the road, doesnt do much to hook me or keep me in

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Oct 24 2024

The songwriting is a bit bland, I'm a fan of a few of the songs but that does not a good album make.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Oct 25 2024

fuck its so commercial

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 28 2024

Really solid radiohead album. I hate it.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 29 2024

i think it takes 1 minute and 51 seconds of the first track to solidify this as a timeless fucking classic. that fucking keychange. alright fuck off.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 30 2024

this album was as big as a really fuckin big brick!!

Dog Man Star by Suede
Oct 31 2024

surprisingly entertaining

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 05 2024

its really good but too long

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Nov 06 2024

its been a bit since i've been generated an album i fell in love with more, i've been given stuff i already like and shit but this is just such a fucking good album its so fucking funny

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 11 2024

yeah its influential i dont really like it that much though

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 14 2024

not really a fan of accapella and it reminds me too much of graceland which i hate

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Nov 15 2024

just didnt do anything hugely interesting, there were some sweet songs but not much else

Disintegration by The Cure
Nov 19 2024

sparkly af, all of the songs are meandering and cool a fun listen

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Nov 20 2024

a lot of the production techniques are just dreamy ad infinitum, listening to this i feel as if im being played a very generic 80s album through a massive, ethereally glowing orb

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Nov 21 2024

people that like music like this must be so fucking boring

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Nov 25 2024

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Nov 26 2024

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Nov 28 2024

The Cars by The Cars
Nov 29 2024

boring

My Generation by The Who
Dec 02 2024

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Dec 03 2024

FUCKING POP PUNK GO AND SHIT YOURELF IN A BUSH

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Dec 04 2024

the music itself is fine but the guy's style of narrative almost spoken word pissed me off really

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Dec 05 2024

uninspired and uninspiring

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Dec 10 2024

not quite as good as pink moon but a really really good album

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Dec 11 2024

afrobeat isnt realy my thing but a very cool album

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Dec 13 2024

the only couple minutes i managed to force myself to endure sounded like self indulgent, pretentious, spandex-clad bullshit. maybe there's some shit encrusted gem if you have the human will to dig through all the layers of filth but i simply do not.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 16 2024

i really just dont like reggae that much
