Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Dec 30 2024

Incredible album. So creative. So much depth and breadth. Has some of every emotion and every instrument. Harmonies. Great lyrical storytelling. Great listening on my new headphones. Many memories of Prairie Bible College, and lonely, cold, late nights. Before I was out to myself or my family I was in love with this album. I played it for my mom once, and all I can remember her saying is, “this sounds very gay,” hahahaha

Guero by Beck
Jan 01 2025

Surprising amount of 90’s hip-hop influence, and some Latin, little country. Never really cared for his voice, but I respect this album.

Jan 02 2025

Fun and full of energy. Not super familiar with the genre, so songs feel repetitive and they all start to sound the same.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jan 03 2025

Excellent live recording. I really felt like I was there and that I was getting to know a relaxed, friendly Cash, that made it his mission to minister to the forgotten in prison. The songs are good writing with a signature style.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 06 2025

Just nope. Not for me.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Jan 07 2025

Good harmonies, but otherwise a one hit wonder. I like my California beach pop rock to be happy, and most of these lyrics are a downer.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 08 2025

Not hard to listen to, but not memorable either.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jan 09 2025

A delightful surprise! Never even heard of these guys before. Definitely hear the seeds of British punk that came after. Stupid 70’s lyrics, but the music is great and the guys can play their instruments. Organ and synth solos! Lots of instrumentals. Like the Doors, but better.

Scum by Napalm Death
Jan 16 2025

Made it half way through, but it was rough.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jan 17 2025

I feel like an old man saying this, but this album was just too noisy.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jan 23 2025

Kinda fun, except for the lyrics.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 24 2025

Some good song writing and creative 90’s rhythms.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 27 2025

Solid rock, never fully appreciated the vocal style.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 31 2025
American Idiot by Green Day
Feb 20 2025

Simple, great songwriting. The last real concept album?

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 24 2025
Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Feb 26 2025
I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Mar 12 2025

Poetic, and I like a LC song by itself, but an album is a bit too much of the same thing.
