Total classic, Sick shit. Love this one. I was at band practice the other night and while we were chilling, we found out that they were playing a secret LA show right at that moment. How fucked up is that?

4/5

This has been a regular listen since my early high school years. An absolute classic that I'm more than happy to revisit for the sake of the 1001 list. I'll keep my review short and to the point. Where "Loveless" is the feeling of being under soft warm blankets on a cold winter night, Isn't anything" is laying on the cold floor of that same cold winter night. There's a true darkness to this record.

fun stuff

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

1/5

You know, it really had its moments I enjoyed, but I really felt most of this was pretty bad. Looking into the group, it seems that it's some sort of anonymous collective. I think I just like some of the musicians involved significantly more than the other ones. I'm just not the target audience for this record. Also, those ASMR interludes were borderline unlistenable lol.

Diamond Life

Sade

3/5

Enjoyable but not mindblowing.

2/5

Well I still don't like this band, but I didn't hate this. Mostly just thought it was boring.

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Pretty good starting out, falls off hard on the B side. Solid rock and roll music.

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

My least favorite Neil Young record I've heard so far, but still great!

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

1/5

Leave it to Damon to make incredibly boring shit I can't even try to care about. Only reason why Gorillaz are occasionally good is because of outside influence from artists they collaborate with, this man is just terrible.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

3/5

Solid record from a legend, some classic tracks on here.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

As a record, it's not that exciting to me, but the singles are classics.

Tank Battles

Dagmar Krause

4/5

What a nice surprise! Was wondering why her voice sounded so familiar, turns out she was in Slapp Happy. I used to listen to their record "Slapp Happy or Slapp Happy" a ton many years ago so this was a nice way to revisit a record that I had forgotten about. I can see a lot of people absolutely hating this, but I personally love it. Music itself is quite different than what is present in her other projects. What I understand is that this is Dagmar performing a bunch of standards by Hanns Eisler. Entertaining album but very dark, and just like everything else associated with the cantterbury scene, outspokenly leftist. Reminded me a lot of the Jun Togawa and Koji Ueno project Guernica. Need to revisit that sometime.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

YEEEEEOW I’m the man who roooocks!

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Lucinda Williams

2/5

Other than the track "Joy", I definitely didn't hate it, but this did absolutely nothing for me. I'm not the target audience for this, and that's ok. Definitely competent for what it is.

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Can't tell if this actually impressed me or if I was just in the perfect mood to listen to it today. Either way, loved it.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida

Iron Butterfly

5/5

I've known about the title track for many years, but this is my first time actually listening to the record. What a fucking shame. This is pretty much exactly what I want to hear when I listen to psych. Perfect record.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

2/5

I don't know, doesn't really do it for me. Don't hate it, just found it to be alright. None of my favorite Stones tracks are on it either. All I could think about was eating at Bill Wyman's mediocre restaurant of the same name which I guess is now closed. I should get some BBQ soon. Puilled pork sandwiches are my favorite food tbh.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Pretty forgettable, first track was cool though. They've got much better in their discography.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

Well this is the first radiohead record I've heard that I don't know a single song off of, so that's funny. It has its moments, but like any other radiohead record, it becomes nauseatingly british and I end up disliking it.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy

Red Snapper

1/5

Not overtly offensive in any way but it bored me to fucking tears

Reign In Blood

Slayer

5/5

What can I really say that hasn't already been said? Not my favorite Slayer record (that title goes to [Album6129]), but that doesn't change the fact that it is a perfect album. So incredibly influential to essentially everything I love in the more extreme fringes of music. Absolute classick. Listen at the volume of 10,000 armageddons or F.O.A.D.!!!!!!!!!!

Viva Hate

4/5

Really wanted to not like this, but what can you do?

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

2/5

Dangerously close to veering into bad territory, but stays firmly planted in boring/not for me territory instead.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

1/5

Really hated this. Musically it wasn't my thing in the slightest, but the factors that made this a giant pile of shit were the vocal performance/lyrical content. A concept album about a pedophile and a vocal performance that was quite literally the sonic equivalent to getting molested by an ugly as fuck french freak. There were a couple of interesting moments musically, but not nearly enough to soften my opinion on it. Garbage.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Continuing with the pedophile bullshit from this list, we get arguably the most important record in the peppers discography. As fucking stupid and corny this shit is, I can never hate it. Growing up in SoCal with two gen x parents who both loved this band quite a bit made their music a big part of my life. Listening to any of it takes me back to being a little kid. I don't fault anyone for not liking it, and I know I'd hate it too if I had a different upbringing, but it's just too entwined into my life.

Dry

PJ Harvey

2/5

Competent but very boring

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

The fucking french pedophile Serge Gainsbourg strikes again! For real though, I feel like the bot is fucking with me, I hope I never have to think of this fucker again. You know what was terrible? I saw that one video of him a few years ago and I thought it was hilarious, the one where a chorus of like 50 kids comes out on stage dressed as him to sing one of his songs? Without context that video is AWESOME, but with context of who this guy was it's insane. Like "hey guys remember that fucking incestuous pedophile we love for some reason? Let's surprise him with a bunch of kids singing to him!" Like LOL. Who thought this was a good idea? French people are fucking weird man, I don't know Oh yeah the David Holmes record sucked.

Eliminator

Nilsson Schmilsson

3/5

Had some very strong moments but overall pretty boring to me. Had no idea the lime in the coconut song was gonna be on here lmao.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

I've known of this movie forever, but I still haven't checked it out yet. Gotta change that immediately. Gave this one a listen during a night drive down PCH and felt like a pimp the entire time.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

4/5

Used to listen to this one quite a bit back in high school but it eventually fell through the cracks, well due for a revisit. I think I like it even more than I did back in the day. What a great record.

Bert Jansch

2/5

Competent performance but a total snoozefest

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

2/5

Well, I don't think this here album was all that great, uh-huh! But then again, I ain't never been too keen on his records, so what does it matter, baby? I'm gonna keep on gettin' 'em made, and I gotta give 'em a look-see. I catch myself talkin' like the King in my car when I'm ridin' solo, complete with the 'whoa mama's' and 'thank you very much'es.' It's a whole lotta fun, try it out sometime baby!

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

4/5

What a nice surprise! The middle section of this record kinda brings things down a bit, but the front and back ends are ridiculous. Super catchy, well written, everything I want out of this style of music. I will be revisiting this one again soon.

Germfree Adolescents

X-Ray Spex

3/5

Something on this list that while I have not actually checked out, I have been aware of for a decent chunk of my life and would have inevitably checked out. Honestly? Pretty decent! Not entirely my thing but it was nice actually listening to it after hearing about it all these years. RIP Poly Styrene!

Kid A

Radiohead

2/5

Was excited to revisit this one and see how I felt, but unfortunately it was pretty much exactly how I remembered it. Not bad, but definitely not for me.
