Oct 09 2025

Very unique, almost unhinged, but I like the radio-esque vibes.

Oct 13 2025

Asked my family what they thought of it. Carly says "it's fine". My Mom said it has some good songs and Dad never heard of it. It's mid.

Oct 15 2025

Nov 04 2025

Not bad. They had one jam that was a song I knew – We Got The Beat.

Nov 05 2025

Listened to the original 9 track version. This was fine, it kinda sounded like a David Bowie or Pet Shop Boys album from the 1980's.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Nov 06 2025

This was fine; not really anything to write home about. I don't think I'd listen to it again?

Nov 07 2025

Message in a Bottle! But otherwise the rest are mid.

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 11 2025

I actually think Black Sabbath has some good music. This is a solid 3, but I can't quite give it a 4.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 13 2025

Mostly just African singing, which is not bad, but I wouldn't really listen to this again.

Nov 14 2025

Hard rock is very different from metal and I don't enjoy it.

Nov 17 2025

This wasn't a bad album, but it was kinda slow and chill. Almost like background music.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 18 2025

Kinda felt more like hard rock or metal than rock. Not my thing.

Nov 20 2025

This is pop, but it’s like some kind of cheesy pop that is not great. Like it’s got a twang? Like cheesy British Christmas music?

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Nov 21 2025

Ok, but like just typical "world" music.

Nov 25 2025

Easy solid 5. We've got this vinyl and Ryan did not fight me playing it.

Faust IV by Faust
Nov 26 2025

Not great, but not good and not terrible. Ryan did describe it as noise.

Dec 01 2025

Listened to a bit of it; definitely different, but enjoyable.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Dec 02 2025

Not bad, I can see why people like it. Kinda a jam. Lots of keyboard and organs.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Dec 03 2025

This was a bit unique, but not bad. Like unique as in the sense of it's not your traditional rock, but just outside that bubble. Kinda fun.

Marquee Moon by Television
Dec 04 2025

This is like a high 3, if not a 4. I didn't add it to my library, but maybe I should. I did text Ryan: "This album was kinda good. Not sure if it’s a 4/5, but it’s pretty good."

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 05 2025

Not bad, kinda good.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Dec 08 2025

Dec 09 2025

Lots of good classic songs on this. Not pump up music, but good chill music. Mom really likes it.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Dec 10 2025

It sounds like older 1950s or 1960s rock. Very like early Beatles almost.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Dec 11 2025

Pretty chill rock album. I'd listen to that again. Not bad. Ryan knows a cover of Mr. Soul. He thinks he likes Rush's better.

Synchronicity by The Police
Dec 12 2025

Like it has Every Breath You Take, but that's really it. Otherwise mid.

Dec 15 2025

Kinda good, with some songs worth listening to loud, e.g. Starlight and Knights of Cydonia.

Django Django by Django Django
Dec 17 2025

This was better than I thought it would be and I wanted to listen to it again.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Dec 19 2025

Fine, nothing that I really remember.

Dec 24 2025

Kinda more fun than I expected; not a 4, but a high 3.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Dec 25 2025

Kinda slow jams, not really how I would describe psychedelic. More snore. More southern twang and guitar.

xx by The xx
Dec 29 2025

Never listened to the whole album. Good album that's really chill.

Play by Moby
Dec 31 2025

I remember listening to Porcelain a lot as a kid. This is a good album. It's quite long, but diverse.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jan 01 2026

This is generic 90s rock music. Slightly reminds me of [[The Beatles]].

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 06 2026

Kind of a weird album, but it’s got lots of good jams

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 08 2026

Kinda felt more like generic Jazz with vocalizations. Not my favorite.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jan 09 2026

Typical Sinatra, but it's still enjoyable. In The Wee Small Hours of the Morning might be the best.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 12 2026

Kinda fun. Oh this has that song they played in [[Twister]].

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 13 2026

Classic Coldplay. Great.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 14 2026

I'm not sure if I'll like this or not. Kind just ok. Fine.

The White Room by The KLF
Jan 15 2026

Not bad. It's got some jams, but feels very 90s.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jan 16 2026

Kinda just a stereotypical 2000's alternative band.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 19 2026

Oh great, Willie Nelson. This album is actually quite relaxing, and pretty good. I'd listen to this again. Definitely not country here, which I appreciate.

Jan 20 2026

Not bad, pretty chill.

Jan 21 2026

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 22 2026

Not bad, but like very Spanish-style music.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 23 2026

Lots of 90s hits; not a bad album. Ryan only liked the hits.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 27 2026

Very smooth voice; starts off with a good song - Don't Know Why. This is very chill and nice to listen to.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 28 2026

Kinda just feels like a letter to gays.

Sulk by The Associates
Jan 29 2026

Arrogance Gave Him Up has this awkward drum beat to create syncopation that I don't like. It's unnerving. Otherwise, ok, fine.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jan 30 2026

Not for me. Too stressful and too much cursing.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 02 2026

Not a bad album, but not as good as I thought it would be. Fine to listen to.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Feb 04 2026

Kinda odd, but not terrible. The last song was long and weird.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 05 2026

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Feb 06 2026

Not bad, kind of an old, easy listen.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 10 2026

Easy album to rate - great album. Best of Sufjan.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Feb 11 2026

Pretty chill, but kind of mid. Ryan kind of likes it. Ryans him of Liam Gallagher.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Feb 12 2026

Not bad. It's clear it's rap, but the backing instrumentals is not bad.

Sea Change by Beck
Feb 17 2026

Lots of string instruments. Kind of a soft, quiet vocals. Chill, but not really my thing.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Feb 18 2026

Another album with a 3 hour deluxe edition on Apple Music. Kinda classic 80s. Nothing remarkable.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 19 2026

Technique by New Order
Feb 20 2026

Very like 80-90s pop. Ok.

Feb 23 2026

Mar 03 2026

Oh, this album art. Not really anything that stood out to me.

Mar 12 2026

Kinda sounds like typical 90s electronic music. More odd than good.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 13 2026

Not bad, actually a good listen for background music.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Mar 16 2026

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Mar 18 2026

Not bad, but nothing really amazing.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills

Mar 27 2026

Not bad, but nothing really notable. Listened to more of it on 3/27 and Ryan doesn't like it.
