After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Apr 15 2025

Excellent songwriting. Neil's falsetto can get to be a bit much after a while, especially without harmonies. Southern Man Only Love Can Break Your Heart I Believe In You

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Apr 17 2025

Interesting to see where New Order started out.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Apr 28 2025

It was fine, but I doubt I'll revisit.

Smash by The Offspring
May 06 2025

A little long. Somewhere between 3 and 4 for me.

Third by Soft Machine
May 12 2025
Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 14 2025

I understand the appeal, just not my cup of tea.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 17 2025

While the individual tracks are at the very least great, this is kind of a hard listen for me from end to end in one sitting.

Ctrl by SZA
May 25 2025
May 28 2025

I struggle a lot with giving albums "3's", mainly because I can understand the appeal to the album, but it's not my particular cup of tea or because I'm not familiar with the context of the album. This is not one of those albums. 36 Chambers not only checks the nostalgia box for me, but I recognize how important it truly was in shaping the sound and culture hip-hop of the 90s and even early 00s. It launched the solo careers of some of my favorite rappers who ended up dropping some of the greatest rap albums of all time. For me, these reasons are more than enough to give it 5 stars.

Jun 05 2025

I appreciate the lyricism, delivery and musicianship of this, but it's a bit of a hard listen from end to end for me. This would probably land around a 4 for me if it were shorter.

Tical by Method Man
Jun 08 2025

I love Meth, but this has never been my favorite of his works.

Roots by Sepultura
Jun 09 2025

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 17 2025
Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jun 27 2025

Some great lyricism nestled firmly in between a few hard-to-listen-to tracks.

B-52's by The B-52's
Jul 03 2025
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 15 2025

Started out strong for me, slowly lost steam. Not a bad album by any means, just felt a little repetitive.

Either Or by Elliott Smith

Ten by Pearl Jam
Sep 11 2025
The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 14 2025

Wonderful compositions, amazing voice, but this is a VERY hard listen after a certain point. I understand the historical significance, but it would be an easier listen in bite size chunks.

1999 by Prince

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Sep 27 2025

Far too long and mostly forgettable.

25 by Adele
Oct 01 2025
The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 07 2025

Clearly well produced, genre bending and interesting, just not something I feel like I'll revisit.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Oct 09 2025
Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 21 2025

Ok album. Really held up by the guitar riff on Money for Nothing.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 25 2025

This album deserves a 5 for its historical significance. It's listenability over 40 years later is another thing entirely. It's fine, but nothing noteworthy by today's standards. I'm thinking of a 4 after considering all of the above.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 08 2026
Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Jan 11 2026

Not my cup of tea, and likely not something I'll revisit, but I can certainly appreciate some of the powerful lyricism here.
