Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics · 1 likes

5/5

2 songs in and sitting at 5 stars. Love the grittyness and grudgier feel of that cheerful 60s pop band typical feel. Like an edgier cover garage band. Wish it was less covers which might drop to 4. Like the white stripes or black Keyes but in the 60s. Think first 5. Listened through the album multiple times today

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Really like the police but album almost felt too short. Some jams in it tho and quirky music. Just a little boring.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

Super cheesey. Not my style really but beats were sick

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

I love this album. For some reason feels homey and comforting. Has a twang that makes it feel like a summer time but also serious songs. Great listen front to back

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

4/5

Insane sad emotional guitar riff to open and then just drops some funk. Super high energy when funky with amazing grooves and vocals. This is my favorite discovered album on this so far

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

2/5

Not my cup of tea but some great ones. Too horny

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

2/5

Lovely but kind of boring

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

5/5

Masterpiece. Insane production

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

2/5

Not for me. Too synthy beats that makes it feel old and not in a good way. 2 star? Almost first 1 star

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Possibly my favorite album on this list so far.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

4/5

4/5. Punky but also glam rock. A lot of fun. Opening song sets the tonr

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

2/5

Like a few of them and some of the more Texas feeling ones but not for me. Almost Elvisy at times but with even more than re country. Wish all songs were like the last one on album. Feel like his other music is better than this album

Here Are the Sonics

The Sonics

5/5

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

3/5

Pretty good so far. Really like the horns. Style isn't totally for me but very uplifting and cheerful. 3 most likely and the horns really pushed it up. Think I'm more of a bill withers guy

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

So dope

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Forgot headphones so listened on speaker at low volume which I feel isn't fair to this album. Will need to revisit later on but 3 for now as place holder

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

This was good. Not really into softer alt right now so going right down the middle. Could have been a 2 but them being from Chicago bumps it

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Album goes so hard and carrys a ton of energy. Feels like a tracklist for an old Playstation game. Transitions between songs are amazing. Novelty wore off a bit about halfway through. 4 album

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

2/5

Not enough energy. I also didn't think the synth went with the feel of the album

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Very theatrical but Elton John is so good. 3

Black Metal

Venom

2/5

Maybe just not in the mood for the album but wasn't feeling the heavy metal

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Tom Sawyer/limelight are obviously amazing but geddy Lee kind of overwhelms me after a bit. YYZ I was really suprised by. Bass rips and almost feels like heavy metals at times. Albums great

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

2/5

Lot of duds some good. Gorilla vibes a lot. Was hoping to like this way more than I did 2

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

Very Caucasian cover art. Great album. Though. Very Beatles sounding with some heavier sounds that leans into the stones and even Zeppelin like in 9 pound hammer. I really like it. Going to listen through their discography. 4 almost 5

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

5/5

Live album of Chicago blues ezpz 5

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Slow start and didn't think I'd like the album going into it because I don't always love glam rock. After Moonage daydream I thought every song was awesome and was suprised by the hits on this album. 5

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Something really comforting about this album. Tiger mountain peasant song was a favorite. Harmonies are great 4

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

2/5

Did nothing for me 2

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Forgot how jazzy they can be. A treat of an album in the morning. It's odd because the music is almost made to just be played in the background of a party or something. I really liked this and each artist is amazing on it. 3-4

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

Cool saxophone stuff. Sad knowing he died 2 days after this album dropped. Not for me. Feel like I should relisten later on and really focus on lyrics but at this time didn't love the album. No flow to album. 2

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

3/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

3/5

Their best live performance but for whatever reason I wasn't in the mood while listening. A few songs stand out and Kurt Cobain does some fun things with his voice. Feel like Nirvana fans would be pissed but 3 stars

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Really like the first song especially strong knowing he died 3 weeks after release. Other than that it's not my cup of tea. Talk singing a lot.

Super self aware album for the late Beach boys. This one really suprised me and I found it really good. Disney girl a highlight. Between 4-5 but thinking 5. Cool range to this album

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

One of my favorite albums growing up. Would listen to this constantly on my Walkman in the bus. Sadly didn't hold up as much as I remember. Going 4 but likely deserves 5
