Boppy, lots of classics I didn't realise were from this album. Lyrics haven't aged particularly well but it's a product of its time. May need to get on vinyl.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 15 2025

Judged The Smashing Pumpkins unfairly before this. By no means will I be searching this out to listen again, but whereas before I thought I actively disliked pretty much every TSP song, this has a couple of bangers.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Apr 16 2025

Couple of memorables tunes, but otherwise pretty unnoteworthy. Wouldn't listen again.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 17 2025

Heard a lot *about* Zappa before, but hadn't listened to much outside of Cheap Thrills and some of the big hits. Enjoyed listening to this, but felt like it could've gone on for longer. Ends too soon. Will probably relisten.

Apr 18 2025

Funky AF. Starts strong, ends strong, lulls a little in the middle.

Bossanova by Pixies
Apr 21 2025

Like an assault on my eardrums. Truly awful.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 23 2025
La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
May 08 2026

Starts off proper groovy, head bopping Epoca has definitely been sampled by something Falls off after a couple of tunes, doesn't have that sticking power, becomes background music Pretty consistently decent all the way through, not offensive, but peaks with the first two songs. Better to listen to each song in isolation rather than as an album 3*

The College Dropout by Kanye West
May 11 2026

What an album. Such a shame the master behind an absolute banger has become the person he is today. For the purposes of this, without a doubt a 5/5.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 12 2026

Feels like a musical at first Back half of the album, most tunes mesh into one

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 13 2026

Almost an insufferable voice. Barely tolerable. Every song as bland as the last.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
May 14 2026

Consistent all the way through, no particular standouts but a solid album.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
May 15 2026

Yeah, it's alright. Pretty definitive sound. Can see why it's so iconic. Not going to stick it on repeat any time soon though.

May 18 2026

Just a little over the top, musical-esque nonsense. I see why it's beloved but it's impossible to listen to for pure enjoyment.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 19 2026

Summer Breeze, what a banger. Rest of the album was fun, but unnoteworthy.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
May 20 2026

Very Smashing Pumpkins. Meh.
