Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

The album is easy to listen to. Norah Jones's voice is awesome and sweet. But the whole album is very one note. There are different styles of songs, but they are all played in the soft crooner style song at a similar tempo resulting in an album with a few shining stars in a miasma of sameness. I enjoy the songs, but other than the ones that are popular enough to get radio/advertisement play, the album is just meh. I couldn't finish the album.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 30 2025

I love the dissonance in the piano. The album is a great mix of avant-garde elements and blues rock. No single track is boring, all the songs are easy to listen to. The album art doesn't evoke the sounds of the album, and that dissonance between the art and the sounds works well with dissonance between the various elements of songs.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 31 2025

Quintessential album of 80s dance pop. It has most of the well known Michael Jackson songs on it. Iconic when in person, fun at parties. I don't think it works as an album for listening through. None of the songs are particularly interesting to focus on, but when doing other things, it can be fun to have on.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 01 2025

Phenomenal Album. This is an album that you have to listen to, not just put on in the background. Kendrick uses a lot of complexity in what he does to express himself and it is an enjoyable endeavor start to end.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Apr 02 2025

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Apr 03 2025

This albums was short and great. Although the sounds were very cohesive over the whole album, the energy and the complexity made it a fun listening experience. I was a little shocked when it ended however and would have liked more.

1999 by Prince
Apr 04 2025

This is my favorite album I've listened to so far. It's absolutely the feel of the 80s and dance and weirdness. It's like LCD Soundsystem but 2 decades earlier. A very interesting listen.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 05 2025

This album is great. The development of Led Zeppelin's skills really shows when compared to Led Zeppelin 2.

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 06 2025

This album is fun. It was really easy to listen to while doing something else. I've always enjoyed Garbage as a band, but have never taken the time to listen to an album all the way through. Similar to Aladdin Sane in a dissonance of styles, but this is more cohesive. Definitely not an album to sit and listen to, but enjoyable none the less.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Apr 09 2025

Album was very very good. I love the variation in the songs.

Apr 10 2025

I used to listen to this album on CD in my walkman. I don't think there is a weak song on the album. I get by with a little help from my friends pops up in my head all the time. I love the instrumental exploration of the album.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 11 2025

This album is an interesting easy listen. It's great for paying attention to and for letting it ride in the background while you focus on other things. Great vibes for getting shit done.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Apr 12 2025

This is an album that should just grab me, but it doesn't as much as others. I love Al Green, but I struggled to listen to this through.

Django Django by Django Django
Apr 13 2025

I liked it. Not something I usually would seek out but it was nice listening.

The Score by Fugees
Apr 14 2025

This album fucking rocks. It is a masterpiece from start to finish. Holy hell.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 15 2025

A thoroughly enjoyable album that sounds so much like the 80s. It is a step down from the previous albums I've listened to. But I do really enjoy Peter Gabriel.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 16 2025

This is like Michael Bublé meets David Bowie. Although kinda monotone across the album. The lyrics and music composition make the album more interesting than Come Away with Me by Nora Jones, which tonally is the most similar album from this list that I've listened to so far.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Apr 17 2025

This album was just simply wonderful. I love Miriam's voice. This, again, isn't the type of music I normally seek out, but just had a blast listening to it while cooking.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Apr 18 2025

The pixies are one of my favorite bands, and while surfer Rosa is a great album, I find it to be the least interesting up to trompe le monde.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 19 2025

I struggled to listen to this. Not because it isn't great, but because I wasn't in a great head space. I recognize the amazing musical talent, but will have to revisit this later.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 20 2025

This is a moody album that just kinda drones on. It's good atmospheric music, but the vocals lack the early XTC that I enjoy and sound too Paul McCartney-esque.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Apr 22 2025

Alice in Chains is a band that I never seek out, but do enjoy listening to. They remind me of Rob Zombie, but they aren't as.... Horror focused. Like the album has horror themes and motifs in the music, but lacks the super natural. It's really good. I just don't know if it is for me. I can see where Godsmack got their influence from.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 24 2025

I enjoyed it. I listen to Bob Marley from time to time, but rarely a full album. I find the music to be good to work to and relax to.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Apr 25 2025

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. I f****** love, Tom waits.

25 by Adele
Apr 26 2025

I didn't like it as much as 21, but it was still very good.

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 27 2025

I hadn't heard any of music outside Imagine. This album felt a lot like Beatles music that was missing something. It was enjoyable and calming. It felt thoughtful and helped me focus.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Apr 28 2025

I didn't enjoy this as much as the fugees.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 29 2025

This album contains some of the most iconic sounds of the era it's from. Quintessential.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Apr 30 2025

This is a very noisy album. Its hard to listen to. Like really listen to because there is so much going on, but I like it. I'm also not in a good mental place right now, which definitely affects my experience.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
May 01 2025

Very enjoyable. I wish I was in a more thoughtful headspace when listening to it.

Timeless by Goldie
May 07 2025

I'm only 30 seconds in and I love this.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
May 08 2025

Really enjoyed this album. It's medieval psychedelic. Really worth a listen.

Metallica by Metallica
May 10 2025

This is like the easy listening of metal. I'm certain it was innovative in some way. Nothing Else Matters and Enter Sandman are iconic metal songs but the album is just kinda meh in overall feel. I think this feeling has to do with the fact that there has been 3 decades of development within this genre with increasing popularity since this album was released. Overall enjoyable, but feels a bit simple for for the genre overall.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 11 2025

I enjoyed this album and experience. This is the first live album I have encountered on the list. Surrender represents the best of the album. It has a bounce in the bass line that the other songs in their line up are missing that really completes the sounds. Very enjoyable overall.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
May 12 2025

Very strange and wonderful album. I was measure mixed by some of the songs. Thoroughly enjoyable for very weird reasons. 10/10 highly recommend.

May 13 2025

This entire album is smooth and beautiful. It is an entire vibe that needs to be consumed in one sitting with the lyrics sitting in front of you. It is a masterpiece.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 27 2025

This album is a vibe. I enjoyed it, and didnt realize when it ended because Tidal foubd music that perfectly matched the vibe and I was in the zone. I am probably not giving this album its due justice because I listened to while working Musically very interesting with similar themes throughout, but varied enough to catch the change between songs. The transitions were smooth and unobtrusive. Overall a very good listen.
