Moondance by Van Morrison

Quite good. More of a daytime album despite the title track. While I feel this hindered my appreciation it still had an interesting mix, impressive arrangements, and decent variety of sound. I found the album inspiring with the use of swing time, waltz rhythms, horn section, and creative transitions.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 03 2025

This album is one of those with surprising modern hip-ness. The tiny desk would go off. The intricate instrumentals have both groove and intrigue. The atmosphere is mysterious yet joyful. It is the first I can recall of listening to Nick Drake, which I suspect some will be jealous of. This one is getting saved to the playlist.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jan 06 2025

An incredible classic. Solidified his sound which has been explored relentlessly. Bill’s playing and aesthetic sensibilities inspires projects beyond just music.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 07 2025

80s pop sound with the bass arpeggiator. More of a modern 1975 weeknd vibe though. I believe this album came around the same time as those other artists becoming popular. I like the 80s vibe. Not exactly what I was looking for from this website though. Probably not the whole album needs to be heard.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 08 2025

Quite good. More of a daytime album despite the title track. While I feel this hindered my appreciation it still had an interesting mix, impressive arrangements, and decent variety of sound. I found the album inspiring with the use of swing time, waltz rhythms, horn section, and creative transitions.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 09 2025

Best album so far. Wide range of style but remaining very consistent. Vocals are amazing, mixed and tracked so crispy. The songs range from intimate to epic. Gonna keep this one in the rotation for sure.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jan 10 2025

Great musicianship, great songs, basically an hour of Guitar soloing and a couple of words. Just the guitar players to pull it off.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jan 11 2025

Great album. I knew the title track before but I hadn’t sat down to listen to this album. Needs more listens but a great introduction to Pink Floyd (if necessary).

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 13 2025

Great album which deserves a listen. Their sound is bluesy and grungy sounding. There’s a subtle dryness to the production which emphasizes the playing.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jan 14 2025

Awesome performance, love the theatrical influence. The drama and character is whimsical and exciting. While not consistently captivating, I think a who fan would enjoy the album throughout.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 15 2025

Interesting but I didn’t love it. Don’t think I finished it. Good for finding some inspiration

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 16 2025

One of my all time favorites. Beautiful haunting melodies and harmonies, exotic yet comforting.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 17 2025

amazing album, tons of variety and great musicians. The vocals are awesome and the vision is intriguing.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 18 2025

Good stuff but it has a dad rock tinge

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 19 2025

Great album, great sound. Widely imitated but no one can do it like them. Sadly the imitators dilute the effect but when you consider the context of the era. Groundbreaking music and coolness factor off the charts.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jan 20 2025

Historically important and decent music. Well produced

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 21 2025

One of my favorite albums. My first Kendrick album which sent me on a journey.

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 22 2025

This album was very enjoyable. I would probably listen again. Good music for studying, the French makes it easy to ignore.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jan 23 2025

Awesome music. Really interesting beats both acoustic/band and more loop/electronic sounds. Great rapping as well. This is an album I’d recommend checking out.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jan 25 2025

Something is off with this album. Bob needs the lo-fi aesthetic to blend better with his vocal abilities. That way it’s easier to focus on the intent of the song. This album had a high fidelity sound which did not compliment his voice. Couldn’t be taken seriously and would need multiple listens to break through this listening barrier.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 26 2025

gotta be one of the greatest singers ever. Great trio arrangements and good tunes.

Jan 27 2025

This is an artist that really keys in on my preferred style. Mostly acoustic instruments but with cinematic editing and effects. Soft vocals, lo-fi aesthetic. It reminds me of bands like Granddaddy and Sparklehorse. Vaguely similar to some of my favorite artists like Spencer Radcliffe and Alex G.

Jan 28 2025

In addition to the bangers, I loved all the songs I hadn’t heard before. Lots of hard work and genius in this group. Love the unique flow style, especially the frenetic energy.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 29 2025

Nice music and riffs, great drummer. Smoke on the water isn’t just a riff???

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jan 30 2025

This really is not terrible music, but there’s no way to truly enjoy this and treated objectively. It’s not as good as the Beatles.

Eagles by Eagles
Feb 01 2025

I like the eagles and these songs have helped myself and other musicians around the world make a living and bring joy to the masses. We are all the eagles

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Feb 02 2025

The harmonies here were very inspiring. This is some very old music

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Feb 03 2025

Terrific music. I had been putting off mccartney’s solo albums bust it comes at a great time now. It’s like hearing a new Beatles album but more rustic and more personal.

Blur by Blur
Feb 04 2025

Good indie music, all the stuff I like. Looper pedals creating moody instrumentals, bangers from my childhood, storybook Brit rock, etc. while song 2 kinda sucks it’s also pretty good and the band has a good sound.

This album had good musicians and a good sound. Nicely mixed as well. It made me consider the rich history of country/folk music and how many people must have contributed to its refinement.

Aja by Steely Dan
Feb 08 2025
Eliminator by ZZ Top
Feb 11 2025

I do think they defined their sound and crafted this album brilliantly

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 16 2025

Pretty good

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 19 2025

Interesting and well produced femme punk

Odelay by Beck
Feb 22 2025

Slackery remix jams. Like sugar ray but good

Feb 26 2025

Maybe 5 stars but needs another listen. Certainly an artist who has the skills and inspiration to match. I’m not sure how deep the artistry goes on just one listen.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Feb 28 2025

Makes me wonder why the Beatles got so famous… awesome music. Similar to beach boys but kind of on another level and the vocalists are all very in sync. I think this may have some irony to it given the band’s story.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Mar 02 2025

Great work on this album, did not expect to like it, but it’s super low-key and laid-back

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 06 2025

This album was very good. It had kind of a more modern Neil Young sound. I’m more familiar with his older songs, but this was great.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 08 2025

I feel a little weird, listening to this alone, incredible musicianship in chemistry, however. They really managed to create a work ofart.

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 10 2025

I’m not sure what I would rate this without imagine, but it’s really nice to hear some John Lennon for the first time.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 22 2025

Cheerleader
