OK Computer by Radiohead
Nov 21 2024

Pretty good album. Best tracks: "Electioneering", "No Surprises", "Airbag".

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 22 2024

Album is not very musically interesting. I was growing sleepy by the end of it. The political commentary is milquetoast at best. I will grant it a 3 because it has some banger tracks: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", "Letterbomb", "American Idiot".

Parachutes by Coldplay
Nov 23 2024

Considering my memories of Coldplay, I expected to not like this album. I was pleasantly surprised. It's an entertaining listen with a fair amount of variance from track-to-track.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Nov 24 2024

I don't really like metal, so the fact that I enjoyed this came at a great surprise to me. It has excellent instrumentation. All of the tracks were interesting, from beginning to end. Highlights: "Dirt", "Rain When I Die", "Hate To Feel".

Marquee Moon by Television
Nov 25 2024

I didn't find this album very compelling. At the same time, it wasn't bad either. It did have some decent tracks, namely "See No Evil", "Friction", "Marquee Moon", and "Torn Curtain".

Scum by Napalm Death
Nov 27 2024

Not particularly impressive or interesting. Noise. Torrent of shit, even. Maybe if I listened a few more times, I would get it, but it would probably break me.

No Other by Gene Clark
Nov 29 2024

This album is a crazy fusion of R&B and folk. It's delightfully weird and a must-listen. Best tracks: "Silver Raven", "No Other".

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 30 2024

For me, this was really boring. I was just waiting for it to be over from the first song. At the very least, I wouldn't mind this being on in the background.

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 01 2024

This is bloody awesome, especially for a debut album. It's way too consistent.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Dec 03 2024

It's a pretty solid showing from Steely Dan. However, I just don't like Steely Dan's sound that much. They're fine, but they're not my favourite, and I don't think they will ever be (but I'm always willing to change).

Dare! by The Human League
Dec 05 2024
Disintegration by The Cure
Dec 07 2024

Never heard the Cure before, but they sound exactly like what I imagined lmao.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 08 2024

This is an excellent album all around, and one of the best from Talking Heads. Not a single bad track, or even mediocre track.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 10 2024

I wasn't expecting to like this damn thing anywhere near as much as I did. It's really really good, and I recommend it to anyone enthusiastically.

1984 by Van Halen
Dec 14 2024
Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 22 2024
Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Dec 30 2024

I thought this thing was quite enjoyable. It is a little unfocused, but that doesn't detract from the music. Favourite tracks -- "Relax", "War", and "The Only Star in Heaven".

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Dec 31 2024

Really solid jazz-esque pop album. Favourite tracks: "Painter Song", "The Nearness of You"

1999 by Prince
Jan 04 2025
En-Tact by The Shamen
Jan 09 2025
Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jan 13 2025

This album is both a really bizarre look into Marvin Gaye's personal life, and full of really solid tracks. "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You" is simultaneously a scathing rip on his ex and a damn fine bop.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jan 18 2025

Very solid jazz album. Almost has moments that evoke "free jazz", which was a movement prominent during this time.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 21 2025

I don't want to listen to or hear this album again.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 26 2025

Gold by Ryan Adams

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 10 2025

This is easily one of the best albums of the 2010s. Kendrick's album here is a must-listen for any hip-hop fan, and probably his best album overall.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 11 2025
Arise by Sepultura
Mar 14 2025
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 22 2025
Imagine by John Lennon

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone

2112 by Rush

Homework by Daft Punk
May 19 2025

Daft Punk is pretty good at what they do, but they don't make music that is made to be listened to. All the songs on this album are something to be played in the club; none of the songs really stand out on their own, save maybe a few. That being said, all of them are good music to dance to after getting piss drunk and high.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
May 21 2025

This is a pretty interesting album of white people soul. I definitely think it's worth a listen, even if it ultimately doesn't feel that groundbreaking.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
May 22 2025

Damn, now I know what "folktronica" sounds like, I guess.

High Violet by The National
May 23 2025

This album had a good opener, but then it quickly started sounding kind of like... Coldplay? I mean, it doesn't *really* sound like them, but it also kind of does. Anyway, it's just not my cup of tea, and I have to demote it for tricking me in the first minute.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 24 2025

Before this, I had only ever listened to Protection, and I thought this would be another so-so album to pass through my ears. It's certainly still not a genre I care for, being a rather saccharine type of music, but I can certainly see why people might want to enjoy this one.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
May 27 2025

Not really my thing (I tend to dislike this kind of music); however, Solomon Burke is a really good singer, you can hear.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 31 2025

This one is pretty damn good. One of my favourite albums of all time. Definitely not my favourite Cocteau Twins album, but that just goes to show how good the Cocteau Twins are. This album's vocal performances are such an incredible display of raw emotion. Some tracks are beautiful, some tracks are sad, some tracks are happy, some tracks are bitter. If you try to attach English lyrics to it, you miss the point-- you are speaking the wrong language.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
