xx by The xx
Jan 01 2025
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 03 2025

Not amazing. Vocals are pleasant enough and certainly does a few interesting things instrumentally, but not quite my cup of tea

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 06 2025

Fantastic. Enjoyable cover to cover. Love the vocals and just adore the style. First couple of tracks are absolute classics. Very close to a five but giving a strong 4.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jan 07 2025

Love the energy, don't hate the Beastie Boys, but not quite my cup of tea. Hasn't aged super well to my ears. Some recognizable bangers on here though.

Jan 08 2025

It's pretty bad. Maybe can see how this was influential, love the subject matter but the voice is just too grating and uneven. Loaded with dense slang and British street scum vibes that I could maybe appreciate if I didn't have no context for it. Musically it's meh and the recording quality is also meh.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jan 09 2025

Nothing special. Can't say I liked it all that much. Wouldn't protest to it on the radio but nothing at all stood out as good.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 10 2025

Honestly not bad a few really solid tracks. Some pretty bad stuff though too. Really a mixed series of tracks but some of the higher energy stuff sounds decent.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 13 2025

Mediocre, bot terrible but not really my cup of tea. Just doesn't jobe well and kind of monotonous.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 14 2025

Really fun, peppy, some absolute classics. Really liked gin and juice. I'll give it a three, but barely missed the cut for four

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Jan 15 2025

Ew. Just ew. For whatever reason none of these songs sounded good to me. Just lots of wacky sounds. I can see why this might be musically interesting but sandpaper to my ears.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 16 2025

It's fine. Nothing really stood out.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 20 2025

Lovely jazzy sounds, not a fan of the Ella Fitzgerald skipity boop bop shit but overall nice sound lovely background music.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 21 2025

Excellent listening experience, lovely dive I took into the Black Sabbath origin story lore. Full of bangers though not as iconic as some of their other work. Overall very pleasant listening and hype as all hell.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jan 22 2025

Likeable album, some fun soul elements, definitely a nice foray into a genre I don't usually listen to, but no true taste breakers here

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jan 24 2025

Lovely couple of starting tracks, Chain of Fools is a banger. Really all around lovely album, love her voice and the vibes are excellent. Easy listening for sure.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 28 2025

Lots of fun, kind of a whimsical rock and roll. Some pretty solid tracks but not quite up to a four.

Being There by Wilco
Jan 30 2025

Solid Wilco album, some really great tracks. Nice indie history here, but not my favorite by Wilco.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Feb 07 2025

Lovely little guitar/sitar background music, can't say it was unpleasant at all but also not particularly standout to me. Solid 3.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 10 2025

Not bad, easy listening but no standouts. Pretty much the standard candle for a 3.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Feb 11 2025

Just lovely sounds all around. But none of the tracks really wooed me. Black Hole Sun is a classic but so am going to give this album a 3, just BARELY not a 4.

Feb 12 2025

Decent. Some lovely era defining protest music, a well-rounded sound, sits nicely in the background.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 13 2025

Lovely sounds, close to 4. Portuguese is always so pretty, samba vibes even better.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Feb 19 2025

Kind of interesting, certainly has a nice mix of international sounds and some language bending. But overall kind of just musak to my ears. More obscure British trash from the British bias of the book. 2.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Feb 20 2025

Mid. I can see the nice folk roots in there. Not a bad sound. But nothing stands out. Would be good to set the era for a movie set in the olden days I guess.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Feb 21 2025

Pretty fun. Kinda chill, lyrics are whimsical and wandering. Enjoyable background hangout music 3/5.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 24 2025

Lovely sound, feels like the birth of a lot of modern girl bands. Really peppy and catchy. Easy 4.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 25 2025

Really great, Coldplay might be best in this album. Really appreciate their work in this one versus their newer stuff.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 25 2025

First 5 given, fantastic sounds, guest spots, beats, lyrics, and diversity between tracks. Not a miss in here.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 14 2025

3/5. Iconic vocals, some of the more upbeat and energetic tracks are good. Noticed the lyrics are all kind of bitter towards women, who hurt you hahaha. Not my favorite Led Zeppelin work.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 22 2025

So good. Just a lovely listening experience start to finish from the goat.

Roots by Sepultura
May 12 2025
Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 11 2026

Lovely. Some iconic stuff on here I recognize. Her voice remains incredible. Nothing much else to add. 4/5

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jan 12 2026

Nice sounds, some chill afro type rhythmns but didn't stand out to me much as anything special. Almost 3 stars but simply not something I would go back to.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 13 2026

Sweet, chill, coffee shop vibes. But still cuts a little to close to muzak for my taste perhaps that's just remembering this type of stuff playing in retail contexts. 3/5. Sounds nice at least.

Ctrl by SZA
Jan 15 2026
Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 31 2026

Incredible album, full of bangers. Computer generated bliss, really nice to run in the background.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 12 2026

Three out of five. Not bad at all, best part was some fun g commentary. These guys do copious amount of drugs, but damn if it isn't decent music.
