Moon Safari

Air

4/5

This is a pretty listen. Im not technicaly versed with electronic enough to tell distinctive signatures on what makes Air different from all the others, but its flighty, lush, optimistic to listen to. It feels like the soundtrack music to a world full of green life.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Decent sounding gospel record from Elton John. That's not alot of stuff I could say about it other than it being just a collection of songs that displayed alot of Ellton's songwriting craft. It had alot of soul and gospel elements and ranged a bunch of stories of different varieties. It's not something i care for but its still a decent record

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

This was a nice album. I don't remember alot of Pink Moon and I don't think I'll remember alot of Nick Drake's stuff here either. But I like his writing with the backdrop of easy listening orchestra.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

4/5

I like this album surprisingly a good ton! I remembered listening to blonde back then 2 years ago but never having a good grasp of the enjoyable parts of RnB. And Channel Orange is just FULL of those moments that just feel good to be in, to listen to and all that. Mostly talking about the sound, while the lyrics are fairly sad or hazy in tone.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

I already listened to this album, more than once! I've listened to it enough to become familiar with this record, and I would consider it a really great Radiohead record and one of the best albums of the 90s. It had a perfect middle point between the sad, poignant musings and the grungy, rock sound that they still had from the previous record. The Bends is just still amazing, front to back, with a production that shoots far beyond dynamic heights or mellow lows, so that it either felt like soft cushions or hammers breaking walls when it came to the mix.

Is This It

The Strokes

5/5

This is another album that I've listened to for a million times, but its a classic. It's a record i think about whenever I try to write songs because its songwriting is just so tantalizing, hooky, and creative. Its a mix of blase and energetic that I didn't know was possible but so simple when executed. I am glad a record like this exists and influences alot of acts with this record's release. Every song like The Modern Age, Someday, Barely Legal or NYCC will leave an impression on your head and last long for a long long while.

Elephant

The White Stripes

3/5

A solid set of bluesy bangers. A 2000s garage rock classic full of songs that saunter and stomp hard. Jack and Meg White are such a powerhouse of writing combinations of bangers and soft crooners, and Elephant shows a level of interesting elements, while being just a simple set of 14 songs.

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

4/5

Personal yet artfully done folk! Something about this record I can't describe, but the way it just saunters musically adds a touch of beauty to the lyrics Bill Callahan sings. It's nothing lush, but the words add a sense of bloom to the songs.

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Alright im getting back on the random album recs. This album is just really fun. Ive listened to Close to the Edge and id call that prog rock to its most extreme. The Yes Album has enough space to be digestible but still have a bunch of stuff to gorge on in terms of melodic and harmonic goodness.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

5/5

Fucking hell.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

yee- and i cannot stress this enough, haw some of these songs remind me of Goldie POV Scroldie too, maybe thats a good point of inspo for future fics xd But yeah this album is good and Kacey hones in a good mix of pop and country where her voice enchants me on what love feels like.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

5/5

Its a classic, I have listened to this album fairly recently and it is fresh from my memory. Still really love being in that vibe where its sunshine and happy. Using omly entirely samples too which is just revolutionary

Survivor

Destiny's Child

3/5

It took me multiple tries to finally finish this entire project as a whole. Why is it whenever I try an R and B record it feels... slower. Its not like i didn't dislike this record, but it definitely just... felt so long to listen to this despite being 59 mins long Record was pretty alright. I didn't have alot out of it but I enjoyed so much with all of their voices.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

2/5

Not alot much to say when I checked this record out. I’m sure people in 1976 were finally gunning for listening to a softer rock sound while your Zeppelins and Hendrixes of the time started blasting their amplifiers with that hard, psychedelic rock. This record was fine, i only liked American Girl and Luna and Tom Petty sounds like a slightly worse Bob Dylan.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

It was also a fine album. Solid as fuck classic rock and roll. Theres parts in that album where i loved the soloing and i could tell the historical "fuck the Vietnam war" the whole album pretty much marinated itself within

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

Unique sound! Lovely album, theres just an emergy that felt like futuristic riot grrl, this is an album that I wish i could return to more and more

Dire Straits

3/5

Pretty solid rock, Money For Nothing is a classic. nothing more or less

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

This is like... One of the best Green Day albums there are. And I love every Green Day album. Everything thats been said has already been said and this is honestly one of the best punk albums of all time. It's one of those albums where if you need to show an alien what punk is, its this.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

Not alot of thoughts, alot of these songs are so basic in the 60s melody writing that i could just trace it to future pop/rock song writing that were influenced by the Kinks. Stuff like Green Day during Warning years and all. Something I found unique is their use of sound effects for atmospheric painting which sounds pretty unique to me for a simple power pop/garage band

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

5/5

Holy shit this is my vibe. This is pure indie pop at its finest and sharpest. There are so much songs here that just got me to react very impressed

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Tank Battles
