Scott 2 by Scott Walker

Boring crooner music. Not even interesting orchestrations. Especially with certain songs when compared to their original versions from Jacques Brel. I seriously don't understand why this album is on there and not any Brel's

Sincere by Mj Cole

Elisabeth Troy's voice on most tracks is really nice. a whole album of UK Garage is definitely a challenge. but surprisingly, this is an album that i will definitely come back to. chill dance music. perfect music to play at a start of a party. made me like and understand UK Garage, maybe ? i wonder what fans of the genre think of this record. "Slum King" masterclass

fuck Kanye. absolute asshole. can't stand the dude. but music wise this is still good stuff. it sucks that the man that did it is a little Hitler now.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 10 2024

I mean it's alright, I guess. I just find it kinda bland and not really as incredible as people say it is. 10/10 according to Pitchfork. more of a 6,5/10 for me.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 14 2024

great production on this one (thank you Rick Rubin) "Under the bridge" what an amazing song

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 15 2024

incredible record. so effective and so powerful. "Wake Up" what a track (it was on the Matrix soundtrack)

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nov 21 2024

lots of hits on this one. Opening Track "Around the World" is one of my favorite RHCP songs. second part of the album just falls flat for me.

Faith by George Michael
Nov 28 2024

Wow, is this album horny .... but banger after banger songs.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 10 2025

In Utero is better

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jan 28 2025

this album is 50 years old. how ??? the production isn't as impressive than on "Radioactive", their next album. but pretty really good

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 03 2025

Still an absolute banger album.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Feb 13 2025

Could not get into the vocals. His voice was too annoying for me. But the songs are fun and effective. "Calistan" and "Two Reelers" are my personal favorites on that record

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Feb 14 2025

the mix between electronic and classical instruments is really well put. Ute has such a beautiful voice. the duets with Neil Hammon in Tango Ballad and in Split ♥️ reminds me of the Hooverphonic live orchestra album Personal favorite: "The case continues" "streets of berlin" & "Purple avenue" "scope j." on the other hand is an experimental snooze-fest and it's sucks that it's the last track. overall : a nice record but unfortunately pretty forgettable

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Feb 17 2025

the opening monologue really takes you in the mood of the record. it's nice for a live album to have the feeling of one long take (sometimes there are some fades out or cuts) even the little accidents are kept in. it's refreshing the jazz classics are sung and played well but nothing groundbreaking. not a real memorable performance on one of those well known songs. like my girlfriend said : "it's a good record to wake up to but nothing more"

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 18 2025

the opening title track is really good. Golden Years is a nice soul song the rest is pretty forgettable

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 19 2025

never heard of the guy before but a incredibly soothing voice. The opening track really had a Pink Floyd feel (similar riff to Breathe (in the air). the rest are mostly campfire rock ballads

Sincere by Mj Cole
Feb 20 2025

Elisabeth Troy's voice on most tracks is really nice. a whole album of UK Garage is definitely a challenge. but surprisingly, this is an album that i will definitely come back to. chill dance music. perfect music to play at a start of a party. made me like and understand UK Garage, maybe ? i wonder what fans of the genre think of this record. "Slum King" masterclass

Da Capo by Love
Feb 21 2025

some annoying psyche 60s rock. lyrically it's really bland, the voice and orchestration really aren't my thing. "The castle" is the only track i'd save here. the final track "Revelation" has some good moments but it's a bad track in global. Just because you have a 18min track doesn't mean you're like the Doors. lyrically, this track is so bad !

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Feb 24 2025

always wanted to listen to this record in full in once. did it while to cleaning up my apartment and it made me really efficient 😅 such a delicious album to listen too. and when you look at the lyrics, it's surprisingly really political. this album is like one long cuddle of pure music. probably more enjoyable by just chilling but still ... wow fav song : Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology) and Inner City Blues

Feb 25 2025

too slow and too long. nothing breathtaking about this record. "City , Country, City" sounds like a bad jam that where musiciens don't listen to each other. boring. the title track "The World is a Ghetto" is the only track i saved. nice chord progression, nice chorus. that's it

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 26 2025

boring in extensive measure. worse news, on Apple music we have a lot of extended versions of those songs. a lot of songs sound like background music in a US tavern. the song "sweet thing" takes lyrics from "blackbird" from The Beatles and it sucks, horrible hommage.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Feb 27 2025

"I wanna sleep with you" has a really nice punk-ish feel and some nice riffs. the other tracks aren't really memorable.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 28 2025

what an album !!! nothing more to say. my favorite album from Cat. "Father & Son" always makes me cry. what makes it not a 5 star is the final song which is so bad !

Mar 03 2025

absolutely beautiful. of course i'd heard "Respect" and "Do Right Woman, Do right man" before but i was surprised by how short they were and how well they sounded in the album as a whole. the global orchestration behind Franklin's voice really makes it sound even better. I discovered "Soul Serenade" and it's now a personal soul favorite. and finally that cover of Sam Cooke's "A change is gonna come" WOW 🤯 it's now my favorite version of the song. incredible record.

Mar 04 2025

some perfectly innocent pop-rock songs. "Clocks" is a banger. rest is pretty basic Coldplay music.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Mar 05 2025

nice but nothing incredible imo

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 06 2025

not a huge Elvis fan but has some really nice songs on there

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 07 2025

1st time listening to an album from the Boss and i was pleasantly surprised by how much i liked this at first. couple songs in and the melodies were catchy, the themes were interesting. i was eager to listen to the rest. then the other songs came ; same melodies, some style of orchestration, same themes. i thought it would never end. like it was on repeat. way too long for something that could have been an EP.

hypnotizing voice. i saved "beautiful feeling" " the whores hustle and the hustlers whore" which is an amazing track. my favorite is "the mess we're in" with Tom York vocals, such a pleasure to have him sing by surprise. A little bit too much New York centered for me. on the other hand she's not really good with the high note parts like in the song "kamikaze" which is painfully difficult to listen to.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 11 2025

when i saw the album cover, i was expecting another boring album but nothing of that ! a balanced album of sweet ballads and fun songs. and even tough his name didn't ring a bell at first, turned out i knew a lot songs on the album. "Coconut" is a bit annoying tough. rest of the album is great.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 12 2025

nice ambiant music. listen while working and did the job

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 13 2025

I said it once and I'll say it again Blondie walked so that No Doubt could run. there are nice songs on here, but it's pretty boring as a whole. I really liked "Sunday girl". and of course, "heart of glass" is an absolute banger. too bad "Atomic" wasn't on it otherwise it would have been 4⭐️

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 14 2025

a raw punk rock feminist masterpiece. "Deceptacon" is a classic of mine. "What's Yr Take on Cassavetes" is amazing. "The The Empty" is a wild crazy mess, and i loved it. my only remark would be that the riffs are a bit similar in between songs and i know it's a trope from punk albums but the songs are really short sometimes. why not just make one song and have beat switches ? "friendship station" is also a bit too corny for me. i really enjoyed "Dude Yr so Crazy!!" by how lyrically it is still (unfortunately) relevant.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 17 2025

it's always nice to listen to a known band first LP. Michael Stipe's vocals and lyrics are particularly good on this record. favorite tracks : "Perfect Circle" and "We Walk". The album has a nice melancholy and warmth. A great album. will probably come back to it on a chill sunny Sunday. More a 4,5 than a 4.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 18 2025

Under The Pressure Is an Amazing opening track. in General, on the record, the longer a song is the better. I'm just a little disappointed by the drumming which is too simular in between tracks. an Ocean in between the waves is the only that caught me by surprise, with its 80s drums. But great record will come back to it for sure

Mar 19 2025

The definition of 80s pop and I mean that in the best way possible of course there are the classics like "take on me", but I was surprised by how many songs I liked on this record other than the hits. Yes it's corny Yes, it's full of lost songs and pretty dated ones but it's comforting and optimistic and I believe we all need that right now. fav song : Living a boy's adventure tale & the sun always shine on TV

Mar 20 2025

Really classic and really enjoyable jazz and bossa nova standards. Just sometimes the mixing on Antonio's voice really sticks out, we can hear it was recorded on a worst microphone than Sinatra's. fav song : Sinatra/Jobim Medley

Raw Power by The Stooges
Mar 21 2025

First i heard to the Bowie mix and it was horrible. I hated it. Then i listened to the Iggy Mix and it was waaaaaay better. Proto-punk needs to be mixed right to not sound like shit. But in general i wasn't completely convinced by the album

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 24 2025

If blues and heavy metal had a kid. A great representation of what grunge is, in my opinion. Gritty, raw, loud, with great vocals. fav tracks : Rooster, JunkHead, Would ?

Boston by Boston
Mar 25 2025

"More Than a Feeling" is one of my childhood favorites. I was disappointed to not enjoy other songs on this record as much. As my girlfriend said, it's a great "start of road-trip" album. Fav songs : More than a Feeling & Foreplay/Long Time

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 26 2025

As soon as i heard the first song, the voice and general vibe sounded really fimiliar. Then i heard the song "My Beloved Monster" and i recognized it from the Shrek soundtrack. I also found out that they made another song in the Shrek 2 soudtrack called "I need some sleep", which is a personal favorite on that record. Besides those facts, I really enjoyed that album. +1 star for the Shrek track. Fav songs : Mental, Your Lucky Day in Hell

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 27 2025

Iconic album. I listened to it once with friends after a listening of "Mezzanine" by Massive Attack and we concluded that it's like a positive/opmistic version of that record. "Sexy Boy" and "All I Need" are two of my favorite electronic songs. more of a 4,75 but rounded up.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Mar 28 2025

I really enjoyed this record. Perfect for sunny days. I wanna go on bike rides while listening to this. Fav songs : Marrakesh Express & Hopelessly Hoping

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 31 2025

"2+2=5" is one of the best opening track in RH's discography. I find the second part of the album way more effective and explosive. The first half is pretty inconsistent. It came out at this weird period in the band's career (after OK computer & KID A but before In Rainbows) so still in a transition from styles. Since it's a Radiohead album and they are my favorite band, I can't give it less than a 4-star rating but it's a light 4. Fav songs : A Wolf at the Door (masterpiece)& Myxomatosis

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 01 2025

well ok. it's great. should have listened to it earlier in my life.

Fun House by The Stooges
Apr 02 2025

that's 2 Stooges album in less than a month.... and even tough I much prefer this one. but still not really my thing, mixing-wise. fav songs : TV Eye & LA Blues (crazy sax solo) a 2,75 rounded up

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Apr 03 2025

"Running up that Hill" as now been too overplayed for me to like it. but the rest of the album is really good. Nice melodies, chords, drums and mix. It's surprisingly more experimental than what I expected. maybe juste too long for me. a 3,25 rounded up fav song : Hounds of Love & Waking the Witch

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 04 2025

A pretty "mid" album in general. Even tough I like Neil Young's music, this album isn't really anything earth-wreckening. It's nice to listen to when you're working, I must say. 2,75 rounded up. Fav song : Vampire Blues & For the Turnstiles

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Apr 07 2025

to start an album with "Paint It Black" is absolutely incredible. I can't imagine what it must have felt like on a vinyl record at the time, as a first listen. the rest of it .... really not my thing.

Apr 08 2025

one of my favorite prog album of all time. I remember listening to a vinyl copy with my friends a couple years ago. Yes "Moonchild" is a bit too long and empty in its second half but I don't care. more of a 9/10. but rounded up.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Apr 09 2025

Another Neil Young record ? well I prefer this one a lot more than "On the beach" but I just think his music and his singing just aren't my thing. 5,5/10

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 10 2025

so THAT is what a good Bruce Springsteen album sounds like ! 7/10 even though some songs are really corny. fav songs : I'm on fire & Glory Days

The White Room by The KLF
Apr 11 2025

nice background electronic music. nothing incredible

American Idiot by Green Day
Apr 14 2025

A favorite of mine growing-up. Maybe fed up with a couple songs by overplaying it. Fav Songs : Jesus of Suburbia & Whatsername

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Apr 15 2025

Holy shit ! I did not expect to like this album so much. I honestly think "Smoke on the water" is my least favorite song on this record. The guitar solos by Ritchie Blackmore are insanely good. fav songs : Highway Star & Lazy

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 16 2025

Boring crooner music. Not even interesting orchestrations. Especially with certain songs when compared to their original versions from Jacques Brel. I seriously don't understand why this album is on there and not any Brel's

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Apr 21 2025

Jack Bruce + Eric Clapton + Ginger Baker = pure magic. After a couple records where I didn't understand why they were on the list, it's nice to get an absolute classic masterpiece. I unfortunately found the second half of the album quite underwhelming. However, great idea to end psychedelic album then with a drunk bar song. 7,5/10 fav songs : Tales of brave Ulysses

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 22 2025

It may not be my favorite Pink Floyd album, but it's hard to deny that this is their magnum opus. All the album works as a whole, it is so coherent and built so incredibly well. The leitmotivs makes the listening really fluid and enjoyable. My only problem with it is that it's starts a little too slowly. 9/10 fav songs : Goodbye Blue Sky & Comfortably Numb (David Gilmoure's solo gives me chills every time)

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 23 2025

Oh nice ! Swiss industrial rock ! too bad it wasn't really good. 4/10 (+1 for international language)

Apr 24 2025

ok. it's nothing incredible but it's hard to say it's "bad". 8 tracks, 8 mid songs. 4,5/10

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Apr 25 2025

I really thought I could defend this album because it's rare to have art-rock but man this was just painful to listen to (even tough it's probably the point). Great soundtrack for my nightmares but apart from that, no.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 28 2025

Had one hour to kill in Lille, France waiting for my next train. sunny day, at a terrasse with a beer. time flew by with this album in my ears. fav songs : Mo' Onions & Behave Yourself 7,5/10

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 29 2025

perfect album to listen to on holiday. fav songs : Sultans of Swing & Wild West End

Apr 30 2025

nice album but nothing incredible 5,5/10 fav song : John Barleycorn (Must Die)

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
May 01 2025

pretty mid. not my thing unfortunately

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
May 02 2025

really not my thing. that post punk era was a weird time, for sure

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
May 05 2025

It's not my favorite K-dot album but it's one of his most important, culturally speaking. Lyrically incredible and the production on this .... wow. I am biased because it came out when I was starting to really listen to US rap. A true icon, a true rapping legend. Can't wait to have TBAP later. and fuck Drake 9/10 fav songs : Good Kid & Now or Never

Quiet Life by Japan
May 07 2025

how did they manage to make SYNTH-POP so boooooring. The vocals were really not my style. 3,5/10 (+1 for french lyrics)

Hotel California by Eagles
May 09 2025

Iconic. Title song a bit overplayed but still a classic. 7/10 fav songs : Victim of Love & Hotel California

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 12 2025

Eddie's guitar solos are juste something else. A great representation of real hard rock. -1 for "Ice Cream Man" though so 8/10. fav songs : Atomic Punk & On Fire

May 13 2025

fuck Kanye. absolute asshole. can't stand the dude. but music wise this is still good stuff. it sucks that the man that did it is a little Hitler now.

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 15 2025

it's incredible to think that their last recorded album (Let it Be was recorded before) has a lot of their most famous and best songs. Listening now knowing they wouldn't make music together after that makes it even more impactful and meaningful. They all have their moment to shine (especially George's "Something") and that's why for me, this is their best album (maybe my favorite but for me objectively their best) 9,5/10 fav songs : I want you (She's so heavy) & Because. But let's be honest there are no bad songs on this record.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
May 16 2025

good live album. nothing special but good music

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
May 19 2025

The harmonies on this album are just something out of this world. Just a little bit bored by the orchestration. 7,25/10 fav songs : California Dreamin' & Spanish Harlem

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 20 2025

nice funk songs and great vocals from Mayfield. 7,5/10. fav songs : Little Child Running Wild & No thing on me

May 21 2025

Banger after banger after banger after banger. When you like electronic music as much as I do : this is a absolute classic. Yes it's repetitive but so much thing is happening in the background and that makes each track incredibly rich and generous. 8/10 fav songs : The Rockafeller Skank & You're not from Brighton

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
May 22 2025

How come most of the post punk albums on this list are so bland and boring ? 4/10 fav song : The Wait

The Yes Album by Yes
May 23 2025

Great prog rock album. Not my favorite from Yes, but it's still a good one. 8/10 fav song : the Starship Trooper trio

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
May 26 2025

I was actually pretty disappointed by this record. I was expecting something incredible and I got something just ... good-ish. I like the lyrics I just think the music didn't really age well. 6,5/10 Fav songs : Venus in furs & Heroin

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 27 2025

Fun album ! the remix of "Heads Will Roll" is clearly more iconic but the original is still nice. Will revisit it for sure. 8/10. Fav songs : Zero & Dragon Queen

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 29 2025

Incredible album. First time listening to Zappa and I am not disappointed. The freedom of each note played, the pure madness of the guitar and sax solos, how each song has its own feel and identity. Will be coming back to it for sure. 8,5/10 fav songs : Peaches in Regalia & The Gumbo Variations

Protection by Massive Attack
May 30 2025

I prefer "Mezzazine" but this is still a great record. Just not that much of a trip-hop fan as other people are. 6,75/10 fav songs : Weather Storm & Better Things

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 02 2025

I actually really liked this album. Nothing extraordinary but good instrumentals with good lyrics. Listening to it in the sun helps probably. 7/10 fav songs : Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere & Round and Round

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jun 03 2025

nice funky songs. nice orchestrations and vocal harmonies. Just sad that the songs are really repetitive in the themes and rhythms. 6,5/10 fav songs : Don't Let him take your love from me & I heard it through the grapevine

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jun 04 2025

Had no idea who this guy was but this is clearly my jam ! I really enjoyed this record. The sad songs hit hard and the general feel of it is really nice. 8,5/10 fav song : Where the Dreams go to Die & Silver Platter Club

Queen II by Queen
Jun 05 2025

As a Queen album and as a hard-rock album in general, this is disappointing. I was to listen to an album with none of their true hits but the mixing on some of these songs is really bad. 6/10 fav song : Some Day One Day & Ogre Battle/The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke (should have been one full song)

Jun 06 2025

I knew I should have listened to Pavement's albums earlier in my life. Because this is really good. I can see why Noel Ghallager said it was one of his musical inspirations for his band Oasis. This band is clearly more experimental than the latter tough, which I enjoy a lot. 8,5/10 fav songs : Cut Your Hair & Fillmore Jive

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jun 09 2025

nice rock album but nothing that blew my mind. 6,5/10 fav songs : Sharp Dressed Man & TV Dinners

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 10 2025

I enjoyed this album more than the previous Velvet Underground. But it's still pretty underwhelming and it hasn't aged great. 6,5/10 fav song : Beginning to see the light & What Goes on

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jun 11 2025

Hasn't aged a bit text-wise. Less of the case production-wise. Can't wait to have "Black Sunday" on the list. 8,5/10 fav songs : Light Another & Real Estate & Born to Get Busy

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jun 12 2025

even tough Dolly is a icon, I just can't stand country music 😅 nice harmonies tough. 5/10 fav song : The Pain of Loving you & Hobo's Meditation

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

absolute masterpiece made by a genius. more than 30 years in the making. rest in peace. 8/10 fav songs : Heroes and Villains & Surf's Up

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jun 16 2025

Nice funky album with great songs. Maybe a bit too repetitive on some songs but the experimental stuff in others is really interesting ! 7,5/10 fav songs : The Great Curve & Once in a Lifetime

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 17 2025

Damn, 80s hip hop really has aged poorly ... text wise and flow wise. And "My Adidas" is a bad song. Just a commercial song. From the same era, LL Cool J sounds better now. 6/10 fav songs : Proud to be Black & You'll be Illin

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 18 2025

First time listening to a full The Cure album. And even tough I wasn't blown away, I wasn't disappointed. Nice new-wave songs and I really liked the instrumental tracks. Robert Smith's vocals clearly isn't the only reason why this band is great, and that album shows that. 7,5/10 fav song : In your house & A Forest

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jun 19 2025

first track was really annoying and I really wasn't expecting anything good after that .... and I was correct. Respect to the UK rap scene but this asn't aged well at all. 3,5/10 fav songs : Fix Up, Look Sharp

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jun 20 2025

Amazing. Almost hypnotizing music. Works like one whole track. Could listen to it on repeat. 9,25/10. fav songs : Sindhi-Bhairavi

Odelay by Beck
Jun 23 2025

nice 90s rock album. enjoyed it as much as I expected. nothing incredible but still really enjoyable. 7,5/10 fav songs : Sissyneck & High 5

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 24 2025

Iconic record. Hard to imagine this is his first "real" studio album (Infinite doesn't count) Not his best (that will be his second one the MMLP) but still great and cult material. So many crazy violent lyrics (the entire 97' Bonny and Clyde song for example). The production from Dr Dre and the Bass Brothers hasn't aged at all, in my opinion. 8,75/10 fav songs : Role Model & My Fault & Just don't give a fuck

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jun 25 2025

not my thing but nothing horrible eather. a bit too corny for my taste. 5/10 fav songs : When the angels

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jun 26 2025

Nice harmonies but I don't understand why this is on the list. Just sounds like a weird US Beatles rip-off. 6/10 fav songs : I Don't love you anymore & You Better Run

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 27 2025

Second time this band lands on this list. And thanks to that, I discovered a band that I now listen to a lot. Raw, brutal and free. 8/10 fav songs : Rich & Maps

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 30 2025

I really tried. Really. But I think i'm just not a fan of Nas' flow. I recognize the talent. And the production is super clean. That's why it's a classic. But not for me. 6,5/10 fav songs : NY State of Mind & The World is Yours

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 01 2025

Love the vocals on this record !!! Lyrics are also really poetic and well written. Just too slow and boring music-wise to make me come back or recommend it. 6,5/10 fav song : Sleep to Dream & Never is a Promise

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jul 02 2025

I really like the Kinks but this isn't their best for sure. They definitely made better records later in their career. Still great music and great lyrics. 7,5/10 fav songs : Too Much on my mind & Holiday in Waikiki

John Prine by John Prine
Jul 04 2025

Yeah, country music just ain't for me. Really dull and repetitive. 4/10 fav songs : Spanish Pipedream

The Bends by Radiohead
Jul 07 2025

My favorite Radiohead record. And possibly one of my favorite records period. A no-skip for me. I enjoy every single song on this album. Yorke's vocals are beautiful and the power of the instrumentation makes it a masterpiece, in my eyes. 10/10 ! fav songs (hard to limit myself to just 2) : Just & My Iron Lung.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 08 2025

Walking in Avignon (South of France) with this album with a cool breeze and sunny sky : PEAK ! 9/10 Miles is a master. fav songs : Blue in Green & Flamenco Sketches.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Jul 09 2025

Great succession of albums. Didn't know this pianist at all before listening to this. He is so smooth and his band really make all this album work even more. A bit too slow sometimes but perfect to listen to at night under the stars. 8/10. fav songs : The Wedding & Water from an Ancient well

Jul 10 2025

The sound of an era. So many 2000s anthems. They don't make them like these anymore. Just pure fun and gangsta music. 7,50/10 fav songs : Many men & Wanksta

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jul 11 2025

I applaud the direction the band has on this project even though I don't completely get into it. The high pitch vocals really got on my nerves after the 3rd song. 4,5/10 fav songs : Aloysius & Otterley

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jul 14 2025

nice Prince album. A bit too long tough. and some songs haven't aged great especially the mixing. 7/10 fav songs : If I was your Girlfriend & Adore

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 15 2025

Starting a record with a song as powerful and as badass as "Welcome to the Jungle" ? DAAAAMN. Yes the hits have been overplayed and have become a bit annoying to listen to. But objectively, they are still incredible songs. I also discovered new songs on this album that hit really hard. Slash's solos are just absolute pleasure for the ears. 8/10 fav songs : My Michelle & Anything Goes

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jul 16 2025

Quite enjoyed this record. Really horny lyrics and intonations I must say 😅. Amazing sax solos and I'm always a fan of that. Almost has the feel of a good spy/robbery movie soundtrack (James Bond meets Oceans 11) 6,5/10 fav songs : The Big Bamboozle & Set the Controls for the Heart to the Pelvis

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 17 2025

Nice soul/funk album. The bass lines just hit all the good spots. Enjoyed it but didn't make me lose my mind either. For me 3+3 = 7/10 fav songs : Don't let me be lonely tonight & That Lady, Pt.1 (Single version)

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jul 18 2025

Sorry I really just can't get into country music. Her voice is beautiful and some ballads are well written but the general feel of it all just doesn't connect with me. 4/10 fav songs : Bluebird Wine & For No One

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jul 21 2025

Some experimental songs really hit hard. The lyrics are really well written. Great work, Mr Wilson and crew. Just not completely convinced by the album as a whole. 6,5/10 fav songs : Student Demonstration Time (which is just the BB version of Revolution) & Surf's Up

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 22 2025

I had never taken the time to listen to some of their work, even though it had been recommended to me for a while. I actually like the vocal work, just the arrangements are a bit too bland for my taste. 6/10 fav songs : Wake Up & Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jul 23 2025

I mean, apart from the title song, there aren't any songs that I should have listened to before dying. It just made me realize more that most early Britney songs sound the same. But like ... it isn't BAD per se. 4/10 fav songs : Baby One More time & (You drive me) Crazy

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Obviously not their best album but clearly not their worst. RIP Prince of Darkness. 6/10 fav songs : Supernaut & Under the Sun

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 25 2025

I really like Ian McCulloch's vocals. It's good music but unfortunately it also sounds A LOT like a cheap version of other bands I prefer (Joy Division, Talking Heads, etc) Nothing really stood up to make an impact on me. 5,5/10 fav songs : Monkeys & Rescue

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 28 2025

Clearly top 3 fav Beatles album. Hits, ballads, start of their experimental work. The bass work is really great here, good job Paul ! Just, "Run for you life" is a creepy song. 8,5/10 fav songs : Norwegian Wood & Girl & In My Life

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jul 29 2025

I mean ... that album just hits every spot. It's just great. Ian Curtis' voice and lyrics really hits hard, knowing his tragic future. One of the lost influenced and influential bands of all time. And same for this album. 9/10 fav songs : Disorder & Day of the Lords & I remember Nothing

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jul 30 2025

Important, hugely influential, created an entire sound, often emulated, never bettered. It's hard to overstate The Chronic's significance in the history of hip hop and the rise of the West Coast and G-Funk in general. 8/10 fav songs : Let Me Ride & Nuthin' but a G Thang

Parklife by Blur
Jul 31 2025

Great band, great album, great hits. Just love the general vibe of this record. Maybe just a bit too long and the second half isn't as good as the first. 8/10 fav songs : Parklife & Jubilee

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 01 2025

One big experimental mess ... but i liked it. Wasn't into it the entire time but there were some highlights. 6/10 fav songs : touched & when you sleep

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 04 2025

Just good vibes all around ! Great vocals and great production from Nile Rodgers. 7/10 fav songs : Lost in Music & One More Time

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 05 2025

great album to listen to .... just not alone 😅 Sade's voice is really something else and there are clearly no bad songs on this album. Just nothing i'm gonna go back to except on special occasions. 7/10 fav songs : Smooth Operator & Cherry Pie

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Aug 06 2025

Miles is still clearly a trumpet god. I hope we also get "Bitches Brew" at some point. This is as cool as an album can be. Great listen. 8/10 fav songs : Jeru & Budo

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Aug 07 2025

To listen to with good pro headphones was really amazing. The sound spacing and mixing is truly incredible. And with NO instruments ! Nothing to say other than bravo. 10/10 fav songs : How Long ? & Yibo Labo

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Aug 08 2025

Folk music isn't for me in general but this is isn't the worst one I've listened to since I've started ; by far ! His voice is really interesting (sometimes annoying but never too much) I think i'll come back to it someday. His political songs are better than the love ones tough, for sure. 6/10 fav songs : Pleasant Street & Once I was

Doolittle by Pixies
Aug 11 2025

Wow that was an incredible album ! Great hits and ballads. Lyrically it's good stuff. I didn't like the Frank Black solo album we listened to a while ago, but here he clearly shines. 9/10 Fav songs : Monkey Gone to Heaven & Silver

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 12 2025

Marquee Moon (the song) alone makes this a good album. Nice listen with great melodies. 7/10 fav songs: Prove It & Torn Curtain

Blackstar by David Bowie
Aug 13 2025

I always refused to listen to this record after Bowie's passing. Until today. It's a good record. Nothing incredible but a solid one for sure. 6/10 fav songs : ⭐️ & 'Tis a pity she was a whore.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Aug 14 2025

Fun riffs and fun songs. Series of bangers. 8/10 fav songs : Set the house ablaze & Start!
