The Libertines by The Libertines

'I no longer hear the music' good Singing is annoying Kinda annoying Just annoying really didn't like it

This was SO good. I already love air and I love movie soundtracks and the ambience of this one is just great. Every track is just a joy to listen to and the tracks towards the end with the voiceovers are really fun. Also the album art is super cool.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente

What a nice uplifting album. Very sweet.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 30 2024

3.5/5. Could've been way bettter, But Kendrick had to go with the mainstream modern rap route. Could've hit SO hard. Maybe it's just my tastes. But it felt, tacky, or like, too polished and new for what it's about. But I liked the concept. Some songs I liked, most I didn't. Rap now seems almost too shallow, too much 'fucking bitches' and whatever, when this album had the potential to be heartbreaking. 'To Pimp A Butterfly' was good, along with 'Sherane', 'Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst' and 'The Art of Peer Pressure'. Maybe there were more but I can't remember them.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 01 2024

Maybe 15% of this album was good. But most was just repetitive and for too long as well. I got bored. I didn't mind it, but I probably wouldn't listen to it again. Heard it Through The Grapevine was good. Just 3 stars from me.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Oct 02 2024

HOT SHIT!! Love this album. Crazy beats. Dre really knows what he's doing. Say no more.

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 03 2024

Litersalyl OOZING with sparkles and synths and serving ATROCIOUS amounts of CUNT this albums just so camp and fun and awesome... the synths and the bass and Prince's guttural screams it's just a soundscape of awesomeness. Very enjoyable indeed. Loved 'When Doves Cry' or whatever it was called. It does seem that the more popular songs tend to be the best. Darling Nikki and Purple Rain were great. Just very good. So fun.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Oct 04 2024

4/4.5 - This was great. Really refreshing. Loved the insane riffs and the track lengths and lengths and lengths... just great stuff. I'll look into these guys more for sure.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Oct 07 2024

I didn't listen to this album. I could NOT bring myself to. Wrote a poerm about this song once though THE WIND WANTS TO TAKE ME FROM THE GRIPS OF THE EARTH AND INTO THE BLUE SKY. IT’S A FRENZIED, FINAL BREATH OF NATURE, THE ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA ARE PLAYING THE END OF THE SONG, THE END OF EVERYTHING, PLAYED OUT BY THEM, I’M GOING TO DIE, EVERYTHING’S MASSIVE AND IT’S ALL EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. OH BROTHER, GIVE ME A BREAK! THE SONG ENDS AS I ARRIVE OUTSIDE MY HOUSE. SKIES CLEARING. RAINDROPS ON DOUBLE GLAZING. AN HOUR LATER, A RAINBOW, BARELY REAL, APPEARING IN THE SKY. 3 stars innit

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

I LOVED this. These guys aren't new to me, but I haven't heard this full album before. So iconic. I didn't realize The Beach Boys' song 'Do You Wanna Dance' was actually written by Bobby Freeman and covered by both bands. Very cool Love both versions. There were a couple of songs that felt less strong but I can't remember what they were because I listened to it yesterday.. but what I did remember was great.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Oct 10 2024

This album was so cute. Loved the style, tone and everything about it was just so fun and effervescent and whimsical to listen to. The album art is also super cool. Will definitely look into these guys.

Oct 11 2024

This was I mean... Uh... Uhh.... it was fine but just bland. Vocals were annoying. I would never ever go out of my way to listen to this. It was just tinny and unpleasant and felt so emotionless like, there was nothing behind the music just sounds. Just not good.. Not good.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 14 2024

Ehh. This album was so long. I couldn't finish it even with 3 days to. There were some tracks I like but most of them just blended into eachother as they all sounded the same. It's not really my style.

Debut by Björk
Oct 15 2024

Bjork is such a geniusssss this is so good what a great Debut album etc. Such heavenly instrumentals. It truly is a work of art.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Oct 16 2024

Alright. I feel a lot of things about this album. I could see what it was going for. But it just felt like a weird menagerie of bluesy jazzy jams and really terrible Christmas songs. This guy sings about a fucking penny for 6 minutes and 19 seconds and it is UNBEARABLE. The tracks where he didn't sing were great. Although it could've just been the relief of not having to hear this guy hack up every single lyric as if it's his last dying breaths. The blues numbers, I did like, but the more, well, I wouldn't even know what to call them - they were, not so good. This vocal style can actually sound good, but this album, just didn't pull it off for me. If you want something like this that is actually listenable, go and listen to 'Solitary Pleasures' Album by James Leg. That's good shit. So sorry Tom.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 17 2024

This album is so great. It's like if Radiohead and Air and Oasis all had like 10 really sexy babies and then they all made music together. Such awesome melodies and tunes and sounds and whatever. I really love this. Great stuff.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Oct 18 2024

4.5 starts. What a chilled out, pleasant to listen to album. Like a nice swamp in the South of the States with crickets chirping and rising heat ETC. Just very nice. Light and airy ETC.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Oct 21 2024

This album was sooo goood. The frontmans voice is so smooth and silky and the whole thing's just a joy to listen to. Heard some songs I've heard before, and some that were new to me. Loved everything. Thin Line, After School Special and Sum of Us were my faves. Good stuff.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 22 2024

This album was alright, nothing that special, to me at least. Nothing jumped out at me you know. I did like ripoff. That's about it. 3

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Oct 23 2024

This was pretty decent. It was kinda repetitive at times, I think I would benefit from listening to some of the songs as standalone songs or part of a playlist, as most of the songs on this album are very similar. The front guy kinda can't sing and I can't tell whether he's pulling it off in like a grunge-y way or whether it's not quite at that level... I like the southern influences and the guitar. I have never heard of these guys before listening to this. 3.5

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

This was alrighty. I didn't mind it. It was a pretty long album though. I got 'Green' sstuck in my head for like half the day. I can't say much more, it wasn't really my style but it wasn't half bad either,

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Oct 25 2024

This is just all kinda the same, but not in a good way. It's just generic country. The music video for 'Someday' is good but the song is just okay. Steve Earle is pretty hot.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 28 2024

This isn't my favourite Radiohead album but it's not bad. 4 star

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 29 2024

This album so good. Yess...., Yes.s....

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

Too intense to listen to casually but pretty good as like, art and stuff. Somewhat unbearable... especially the 14 minute track. 2 star listen unfortunately. But I do like Nick Cave's other stuff.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Oct 31 2024

Not bad. The Asphalt World was good. Can't listen to the whole thing cause I'm busy.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 05 2024

This was pretty good but like 10 tracks too long. I liked most of the songs though, apart from The Trial which I kinda liked but also kinda hated because it went on for 2 long. Not bad though very creative and interesting listen

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Nov 06 2024

THis was soooo good. Basically all the songs were great. I love funny hip hop. I love Tupac. I love Gutfest '89. My favourite song was proibably 'Doowutchalike' because it's 8 minutes long

The Libertines by The Libertines
Nov 07 2024

'I no longer hear the music' good Singing is annoying Kinda annoying Just annoying really didn't like it

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Nov 08 2024

This album is very sweet. Kinda melancholy too. I like Brazilian music a lot. There were a lot of nice moments. I enjoyed the mellow vibe and the smooth vocals.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 11 2024

Alright. It's all good. Too many lyrics about teenage girls. Sweet 16... more like Shut Up

Nov 12 2024

Way too much high frequency screeching. This is like Tame Impala if it was bad. The vocal style is also so annoying. This whole thing just aggravated me to no end.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 13 2024

This was delicious. I loved it.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 14 2024

Didn't listen to the whole thing but what I did hear was pretty good.

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

Pretty repetitive. It was okay. I did think it was cute, but not cute enough to be really memorable.

Disintegration by The Cure
Nov 19 2024

This is a really nice album. Really nice. I love the guitars and everything. Really really nice.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Nov 21 2024

Lame as fuck. Lame vocals. Lame backing track. Lame album cover. Almost 4 minutes into Neighborhood#1 I nearly burst into tears for some reason. But yeah lame as fuck 2015 leaver's assembly dogshit. I guess.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Nov 22 2024

This was okay, not really my style, it wasn't very memorable as it was just the same thing for the whole album. Once you've heard one song, you've basically heard them all. The name is pretty wild. I wouldn't listen to this again.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Nov 25 2024

This was very nice. I really liked most of the tracks. Very jazzy and fun to listen to.

Nov 27 2024

This was SO good. I already love air and I love movie soundtracks and the ambience of this one is just great. Every track is just a joy to listen to and the tracks towards the end with the voiceovers are really fun. Also the album art is super cool.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Nov 28 2024

This was a fun album, very different to what I usually listen to but it was refreshing. Some songs were a little repetitive but for the most part it was good. I actually continued listening to more after the album finished, and found out Joan Armatrading is from St. Kitts and Nevis in the West Indies. She also has a British accent and a lot of good stories to tell, I liked her a lot.

The Cars by The Cars
Nov 29 2024

Boring

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Dec 04 2024

This was actually fine but I just didn't like it for some reason. There was nothing wrong with it. There was also nothing right with it. Very odd.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Dec 05 2024

Ilove this a;bu,m/. Every track just has thet sick party vibe. Rock Your Boby is an instant classic.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Dec 06 2024

What a nice uplifting album. Very sweet.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Dec 09 2024

Pretty good. This is a good band. I didn't like the hymn of the fucking wheel or wahtever it was called because I accidentally played it twice and got really annoyed and thought it was a really long repetitive song so tht awas cool or something. Overall pretty good tough.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Dec 11 2024

Good stuff had me singing along and everything. SOme songs were too repetitive. Mostly good upbeat vibes.

Melodrama by Lorde
Dec 12 2024

Had to stop listening to this one it was so boring. Boorring.... Boooorriiinnggggggg

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 16 2024

Good stuff

Dec 17 2024

Good but songs went on for wayyy too long to listen to as a non fan of jazzy stuff. But what I could tolerate was good and the last track, despite being 20 minutes long was enjoyable.

White Ladder by David Gray
Dec 19 2024

First track didn't need vocals. Whrn he started singing I got sad. Half of this album doesnt need to exuisyt.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Dec 23 2024

This was great, not stuff I'd usually listen to but very meaningful. And iconic. Just a shame the guy died before he learned how to produce music properly, as this album is almost tragically unlistenable.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Dec 24 2024

The frontman can't sing. This is like a worse version of Labrinth or Glass Animals. I did like the lyrics but this isn't something I'd listen to again.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Dec 27 2024

This album is actually pretty great. I like the song 'It's So Easy' or whatever it's called. Guitar and harmonies are brilliant. Would listen again
