Purple Rain by Prince
Feb 10 2025

Don't want to listen, it's a no from me.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Feb 14 2025

Skipped the Star Spangled Banner cuz it sounded goofy. Enjoyed all of the other tracks, with my faves being Tulip or Turnip, Diminuendo in Blue, I Got it Bad and That Ain't Good, Skin Deep, Jeep Blues and Blues to Be There. The band was amazing and the crowd work was good. It was nice to hear how much the audience loves the music. Easy to listen to and could definitely picture myself listening to this in a cozy cocktail bar after a long day.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 15 2025

Always liked songs by the Rolling Stones so was worried I would be biased. Thankfully, Stupid Girl and Under My Thumb were such incel tunes it made it easier for me to be more critical. Mothers Little Helper was my fave from this album, always loved the guitar in it. Most of these songs were new to me and I have a couple of new faves like Goin' Home was a mood, can really relate to after not seeing my bf for 1 hour. Didn't expect some sadder ones like It's Not Easy, Take It or Leave It and What To Do. Big fan of juxtapositioning sad lyrics with upbeat instrumentals and vocals so that helped bump up the scoring.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Feb 16 2025

Loved all of it, titular track was my personal favourite.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Feb 17 2025

The Grave and the Constant is already a fave, really chill vibe. I Can't Get with That is a 2nd fave, Scrooby Snacks was oversold to me, it's number 3 in my list of songs on this album. Would listen to this album again.

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 18 2025

Ob la di ob la fucking di to quote John Lennon during his scheduled takeover of the beatles. Had to skip Revolution 9 and also hated the original Honey Pie. The rest were all bangers. Personal faves are helter skelter, while my guitar gently weeps and back in the ussr.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 19 2025

Nebraska's a synonym for depression. Not a fan of this, all of them sounded the same to me. Boo hoo sad song boom harmonica.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 20 2025

Very 2000s, Malaysians on this app will be reminded of songs played in Kaison in the mid 2010s. Chilled stuff tho, good background music for reading/working but I wouldn't jump at listening to it again.

Parklife by Blur
Feb 21 2025

GIRLS WHO WANT BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEYRE GIRLS. The Debt Collector is what I'll be playing while vandalising ppls housing in red paint. Clover Over Dover was another fave. Good mix of songs, would listen too again and they're all bangers.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 22 2025

Was a bit boring, can't remember any of the songs on it besides One cuz my dad spams it. Guitar playing was amazing which has earned an extra star.

Feb 23 2025

Vocalist gave me Talking Heads vibes so looked them up and surprised that they're not the same person. This wasn't really for me, a bit too ironic and goofy. I loved Praying Hands though.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Feb 24 2025

Had a good start and thought some of the tracks are a bit before their time. It fell off for me towards the end. It's good background music for a chilled party though, other than that not too much to say.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 25 2025

Expected more wailing from a group called The Wailers. Weren't any standouts to me, felt like all of it cascaded into one long song. Enjoyed the bass in Concrete Jungle and the rest wasn't for me.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 26 2025

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on. Beautiful album, loved all of it.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Feb 27 2025

Only complaint is that I wanted MORE!! Love Dolly, songs were sweet and her voice is incredible as always. Also, I'm going to find those children who made fun of her and give them the chancla treatment.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 28 2025

Love me girl bands. Was distracted when listening to them but the guitars went hard.

Mar 01 2025

Big Smiths fan but there were a couple songs I've never heard. Death of a Disco Dancer is now one of my fave Smiths songs, you can really hear how it influenced 90s grunge bands. Wouldn't be the Smiths without Morrissey being a massive drama queen in Unhappy Birthday. Can't lie but I'd enjoy it if I was in a self pity mood. I Won't Share You was a great song to end the album with. Obviously will listen to this album again. RIP Andy, absolute legend.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 02 2025

Good bg music for working or a chill party but not really for me.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 03 2025

Very funky, bit goofy. Liked most of the songs but it's nothing special for me.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 04 2025

Love iiiit. Will be blasting Our House when I finally own my own home, so probably never but I can imagine owning one while listening.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Mar 06 2025

Not even halfway in but this is painful. Would be less of a chore if he didn't sing.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 08 2025

Luv grunge tunes nuff said

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Mar 09 2025

Wasn't bad, liked most of it with my fave being Hold On To Your Friends. Just not the same without the Smiths tho

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Mar 10 2025

Perfect background music when panic organising a spreadsheet that makes 0 sense

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Mar 11 2025

Luv me dire straits, never listened to this album though. I now have a few new favourites, also liked how country it sounded on some tracks

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 12 2025

HES THE GREATEST DANCER, WE ARE FAMILY, WE'RE LOST IN MUSIC, ICONIC LOVED ALL OF IT STRAIGHT UP VIBES

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 13 2025

Hello, I'm Johnny Cash. Great album, knew one or two songs from him and now have loads more songs I love

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 14 2025

Not my fave Elvis album, but easy listening. I'll hold you in my heart was my fave

The Libertines by The Libertines
Mar 17 2025

Never really gave The Libertines a listen which is odd cuz a lot the music I like is indie. The first few tracks were ok but the song that piqued my interest was The Man Who Would Be King. It has some great instrumentals. From there the album improved for me. Loved how Narcissist flowed into The Ha Ha Wall too, very seamless. After that I lost interest again, decent album overall but deducting points because justice for Mark Blanco and way better indie bands out there.

Mar 18 2025

Fuck the police indeed. Late 80s and early 90s rap has a special place in my heart. Storytelling through the lyrics and sound mixing was great.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Mar 19 2025

Definitely my kind of music. Really chill but not boring, faves were Wrong and Single.

High Violet by The National
Mar 21 2025

Loved it, very melancholy but has a hopeful vibe to it. Will definitely be a frequent listener to this.

Mar 22 2025

Could only find the collectors version and it was LONG. Enjoyed the songs, My Girl especially is my fave.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Mar 23 2025

Loved them, very 60s obviously. Can't have a soft without a sitar or heaving guitar riffs. Would class this as Dad Rock, specifically the ones who think they're still tough young men but would get their ass handed to them in a fight now.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 24 2025

Look at me, I'm super deep and philosophical!! Made even a woke like me cringe, overall a depressing sounding album to me and I was glad I was interrupted multiple times while listening to it.

Mar 25 2025

I loved it! A lot of it was super catchy and upbeat, really easy to breeze through work with it in the background but that makes it harder to fully appreciate. I also dont think I've ever heard such a happy rendition of You Are My Sunshine. Funnily enough my favourite song from it was one of the more downtime ones, I love you so much it hurts.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 26 2025

Its weird hearing the Bee Gees not singing at their usual "im crushing my balls" pitch but it was a welcome change. Really enjoyed this album, very whimsy and had some tunes which wouldn't have been out of place in a Disney film or some sort of epic fantasy film. My top faves were: Lamplight Give your best With all nations

Suede by Suede
Mar 27 2025

Never listened to Suede to be honest, its very BRI'ISH Dad rock. Quite forgettable to be honest. Not much stood out to me but I did enjoy the riffs towards the end of Moving.
