Madman Across The Water
Elton John
solid album, love me some elton john. there were a few songs that didn’t really speak to me, but overall the album felt like a warm hug. perfect road trip music but i don’t know if i can see it going on my regular rotation otherwise

Stan Getz
i don’t typically listen to jazz (ever), but i thoroughly enjoyed this. something about the sound of this album makes me feel like i’m in the room, listening to them perform. it feels like caramel to my ears if that makes sense. or like how a city looks on a rainy day. i didn’t think i’d love it as much as i do, but there wasn’t a second i didn’t enjoy. 5/5

Chirping Crickets
Buddy Holly & The Crickets
i tried to like this album, but i just couldn’t. it’s not bad by any means, just primitive i guess. i can appreciate it for its influence but nothing about it really stood out to me. the lyrics were especially boring and even predictable. but i understand that rock and roll was just gaining it’s footing and that everything was sort of experimental. 2/5

Oracular Spectacular
MGMT
not the kind of music i usually listen to, but it was a solid album. time to pretend and kids were already on my regular rotation, and honestly, they were the only songs i enjoyed enough to keep listening to. the others were good too, just not my taste. i might’ve enjoyed electric feel if it weren’t for the electric feel incident….. these guys are talented though! 3/5 for me

Willie Nelson
i don’t typically listen to country music, but i liked this. i liked his take on most of the covers; especially georgia on my mind. i’m gonna take this as a sign to dive deeper into willie nelson’s discography. i’m surprised i hadn’t done so sooner! 3/5

Talking Heads
man, i thought i’d like this, but it didn’t do anything for me. the whole album felt like filler songs if that makes sense. i did like the popular one, “psycho killer”, though. this definitely made me want to check out some of their other stuff though. i have a feeling they have better albums

FKA twigs
i hated this. i tried to get through it but i physically could not. this is not the kind of music i like at all, and i don’t think it’s objectively bad, but i fucking hated it oh my god

Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins
fuck i love this album. it got me through my teenage years, especially “today”, “soma”, and “mayonaise”. it’s even better when you’re high. billy corgan doesn’t write songs, he writes straight up poetry. he’s a questionable dude but you can’t deny his writing

The Beach Boys
i really liked this! not all the songs stood out to me but there were a few good ones in there. i enjoyed long promised road, disney girls, student demonstration time, and feel flows in particular
