Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 12 2024

Good hooks but not really grabbing me Howlin for You riff has become a classic One-dimensional blues rock I would probably rate 2.5 if I could. Not bad, but other than the hits it didn’t compel me.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Nov 13 2024

Super fun to listen to these three play together, but feels like a lot of padding considering it’s only 33 minutes long. Several indelible classics. Tales of Brave Ulysses is my favorite.

The Specials by The Specials
Nov 14 2024

Fun, with clever lyrics, but not really my thing.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 15 2024

One of the more consequential albums of its time. Changed rock guitar forever. Brilliant musicians, some great songs, especially in the first half.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 16 2024

Consistently beautiful, often stunning. Fiona is a genius. Very close to a 5, though a couple of the songs are a bit slow for my taste.

Hotel California by Eagles
Nov 16 2024

I was raised on the Eagles, so I guess they bring out the defensive side of me. It's perfectly valid to like or dislike them. I've decided, however, that hating them excessively is the most boring opinion in music. No, they're not cool. Yes, The Dude hates them. Yes, Henley and Frey are/were assholes. So are at least 2/3 of YOUR favorite artists. But I feel like the performative hate they receive comes from people who feel like they need to take the default "cool guy" position. What is so hateable about them? That they're really good at their instruments? That their harmonies are just "too clean"? I feel like any criticism of the actual music boils down to broad, purely subjective adjectives like "soulless". Well, Mr. Eagles Hater, I think you're a poseur. Quoting The Dude in your review does not make you The Dude. Anyway, this album rips. Not a weak track among them.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 18 2024

Not something I'd choose to put on all the time, but full of creativity and very involving. Some of the songs go on a bit too long for me, but I understand that's a feature as they're meant to be danced to.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Nov 19 2024

I was blown away by this. It makes me excited to listen to the other Stevie albums. What a genius.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 20 2024

Like many elder Millennials, this is a seminal album for me. Bursting with creativity and ingenuity. Beautiful, timeless, endlessly rewarding.

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 23 2024
Eagles by Eagles
Dec 05 2024
Horses by Patti Smith
Dec 11 2024
At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 12 2024

Has anyone ever been cooler than Johnny Cash in 1969? He's certainly in his element here. What a blast, raucous and riotous, with an anti-authoritarian message that still hits hard.
