Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 10 2025

4.5/5 No notes, Jimi Hendrix is an icon. Thought about giving it a 5, but holding onto those for something really special

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 11 2025

I know U2 gets a lot of hate and backlash, but I think this is one of their more liked albums and I understand why. I think this album has nice variety and a nice rhythm from one song to the next. Mysterious ways, ultra violet, and acrobat are the highlights on this album. U2 is super nostalgic for me so that also helps my vote. 4/5

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 12 2025

I just skimmed through this album because I had wisdom teeth surgery, every song sounded kinda the same to me in the first half of the album. I didn’t hate it but not really my thing. I think my mom likes this band so I’ll give them an extra star for that. 3/5

Feb 17 2025

U2’s other iconic album. Where the streets have no name is a classic, they filmed the music video on top of a building in la and my mom always tells the story of how she tried to ditch school to drive down there with her friends. Kinda lame to have two U2 albums shown so close together but whatever. Love this album but still holding out for a 5.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 18 2025

Take me out is a really good well known song, but the rest of this album just kinda fell flat for me. There’s some decent songs but none that gave me the same feeling that take me out does when I hear it. I’d say a 3 with take me out and a 2.5 without.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 19 2025

I’ve heard the song clint eastwood a bunch but didn’t recognize any other songs on the album. I liked their vibe and sound but some songs were a bit too repetitive for me. songs I really liked: rock the house and slow country

Electric by The Cult
Feb 20 2025

One of the public reviews says “If you asked an AI audio model to generate a hard rock album from 1987 this is what it would give you” and I feel like this couldn’t be more true. It sounded like a pretty average hair metal rock album, not bad but not really mind-blowing. I liked love removal machine and I hated their born to be wild cover. Just wasn’t really in the mood to listen to this genre in the morning on the way to work so it gets a 2.5/5

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 21 2025

I enjoyed listening to this!! It’s tricky and walk this way being on the album automatically give it a 4 in my opinion, but after hearing everything else I’d give it a 4.5. Some really good songs!

Feb 24 2025

Some songs by Muse just HIT, and then others just really fall flat for me, but I enjoyed the overall vibe of the album. Their music kinda makes me feel like I’m about to get abducted by aliens but in a fun way? Starlight, super massive black holes, and knights of cydonia are all incredible songs in my opinion. 3.8/5

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 25 2025

I was really vibing this album, I especially liked the second half of it. This was fun to listen to!

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 26 2025

I wasn’t the biggest fan of this one, it doesn’t suck but just not really my thing

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 27 2025

I love don’t panic, sparks, yellow, and trouble . This was mellow and nice to listen to on my drive this morning, I really enjoyed it!

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 28 2025

I love the bestie boys and I honestly wasn’t sure what it would be like to listen to a full album, but I really enjoyed this! It was a teeny bit jarring to listen to in the morning, but the different variety of songs made up for it. I liked the songs egg man, shake your rump, and what comes around. Also 5-piece chicken dinner gave me a laugh and was unexpected. I really loved this and it made me like the bestie boys even more. I love their creative use of sounds and beats and it’s so fun and unique!

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 03 2025

This was okay but the songs were just way too long for me to stay interested, like the one that was 18 minutes? really? that’s a tad excessive

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 04 2025

I really considered giving this a 5, however you can’t always get what you want brings this down to a 4. I love the rolling stones but I do not love that song

Mar 05 2025

This sounds like it was recorded in some dudes basement and he put it together on garageband. I really couldn’t take it seriously, and I don’t think I NEEDED to hear this album and it kinda sucked.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 06 2025

I feel like this had potential but really missed the mark. Wasn’t a fan of this one

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Mar 07 2025

This didn’t really blow me away but it wasn’t terrible

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 10 2025

I enjoyed listening to this album, sounds like music that’d be in the end credits of a movie

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 11 2025

I haven’t heard much Simon & Garfunkel before but I really enjoyed this album. This was really pleasant to listen to

GI by Germs
Mar 13 2025

To be fair I just skimmed through this one, but every song sounded the same to me. Not really a fan

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Mar 17 2025

The title track is such an iconic song and that gives this album major points. Lots of familiar sounds to me, not sure if some of these were the original or a riff on familiar sounds. The second song sounds like the song from dirty dancing. I personally love the organ because of my grandma, so I really enjoyed listening to this but I can’t say I’d go out of my way to listen to this in its entirety again.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 18 2025

There’s so many good albums out there, why is this one on the list?

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Mar 20 2025

This felt like french asmr with some music behind it. I didn’t like this

Mar 24 2025

The singer sounds like he’s trying to be chris martin from coldplay, but this guy just can’t sing very well. His slower songs really show how much he can’t sing but the more fast paced songs were better. I liked war on war. 2.8/5

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Mar 25 2025

likes: mansize rooster, lose it, time shocked when the song alright came on, had no idea who sang it but was pleasantly surprised to hear that song I enjoyed this way more than I expected! It sounded like a punk band that actually had a lot more nuance to them. Will probably go out of my way to listen to them again!

The La's by The La's
Mar 26 2025

This album was pretty decent, there she goes is a good song

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 27 2025

David Bowie does weird in the best possible way. I love him and he’s an icon. My favorite song off this album is the prettiest star. Maybe it’s because we’ve been given shit albums recently or maybe it’s because my parents named their dog after him and I’m biased or maybe I’m just feeling generous but this album gets my first 5 star rating

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 31 2025

So many good songs, carry on, teach your children, helpless, woodstock, our house. Love crosby stills and nash and love the addition of Neil Young. big fan!

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 01 2025

This was a great album, super fun to listen to

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Apr 08 2025

This was fine, not great not horrible

Ctrl by SZA
Apr 09 2025

do I like SZA yeah, do I think this album changed my life no

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Apr 10 2025

I didn’t really vibe with this
