Apr 15 2025

In the beginning I thought it sounded like many other albums I've heard, but perhaps he was teh first to do it, I don't know. But it really grew on me. Cohesive and yet enough variety to keep it interesting.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 16 2025

Rikki Don't Lose That Number is giving Sims 2 build mode in the best way. Nostalgic and I love it instantly. LOVED it. 4 or 5 stars, probably 5.

Tapestry by Carole King
Apr 17 2025

Her vocals took some getting used to for me. Very musically talented woman. She articulates well which is a plus. 4 stars

Live At Leeds by The Who
Apr 18 2025

There's nothing I can point out thats bad, but I'm just not jelling with it. 2-3 stars, won't listen to it again.

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 19 2025

Phenomenal sound. Heavily addicting. 5 stars. But what are these lyrics?? Still 5 stars.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Apr 20 2025

Liking the blend of sounds and textures here, although it sounds as if their personal sound is still in development. Something here's not clicking for me. But I checked out their latest album and I am loving it very much.

Apr 21 2025

Surprisingly long songs. Surprisingly I did enjoy them. Not the style I listen to regularly, but they developed a lovely sound for this album. 3 stars, would recommend it to people who are into this genre.

Apr 22 2025

Can never go wrong with this music. Great voice, great vibes. I don't know how to rate it though. 4 stars? 3? Somewhere in that range for now. -> 3 stars; Can't go wrong with this album, but there is little that sets it apart.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Apr 23 2025

Gorgeous sound, and what a voice. They did all blend together a little bit, and didn't reach my heart like some of this type of music does (Nina Simone I'm looking at you). But wonderful nonetheless, and an incredible live performance. 3.5/5

White Light by Gene Clark
Apr 24 2025

This was kinda vibes. I understand the reviews though. This album would be nice to play in the evening before going to bed. I do wonder if I still remember any of it tomorrow. Idk, now that I’m thinking about it… If I wanted this vibe I would put on Bob Dylan. But still it’s not so bad. 3 stars.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 25 2025

I rated this 4 stars a while ago but I cannot remember a single thing about this album so I'm changing it to a 3 star. Probably wasn't bad tho bc if it was I'd remember it for being so.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 26 2025

What a woman, what a voice. Powerful stuff. Unfortunately a little bit repetitive in the second half, but has bangers that hit me in the heart. 4 stars.

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 27 2025

This album's a classic. Not every single song is for me, but these guys breathe so much musicality that I have to at least give it 4 stars.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Apr 28 2025

Quite a journey. There are songs that I loved, and also songs that had me thinking "what on earth am I listening to?" Comes down to a 3 star rating overall. It was very up and down, but I do think I will revisit this one.

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 29 2025

Great band. I just don't personally like their sound.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 30 2025

Solid sound, Great singer. It just wasn't anything out of the ordinary for me.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
May 01 2025

LOVED this one. His voice and the music breathe as one. He also articulates way more in this one compared to the previous one of his I listened to, which was Bringing It All Back Home. 5/5

Ray Of Light by Madonna
May 02 2025

What a lovely surprise to hear her more laid-back songs for the first time. Lovely sound, interesting lyrics, lovely dreamy poppy sound. I think I'll come back to this one. I do however feel like the production is carrying this just a smidge more than she and her voice are. 4/5.

Guero by Beck
May 03 2025

So much personality! I loved it. Fantastic album, very musical. It stuck with me for a while after listening to it.

Faith by George Michael
May 04 2025

This album is a parody of itself.

OK Computer by Radiohead
May 05 2025

This is an incredible album. I wish I wouldn't have looked at the lyrics because they are a proper downer, one like I haven't experienced in a while. If only for the music this is a 5 stars though.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
May 06 2025

Wonderfully musical album. Very colourful and melodic. We need more of this music today. 4 stars because I loved about 3/4th of the songs, and the others, while good, weren’t something I’d relisten to. But would recommend the album as a whole to everyone!

Sheet Music by 10cc
May 07 2025

Whimsical 80’s sound, but too chaotic for me. Loved the opening song. The second song is bad. Do not make a bad song about being a bad band. By song 3 this felt more like a compilation than it did an album.

Picture Book by Simply Red
May 08 2025

Listen... I know it's not that outstanding or whatever, but I just absolutely love 80's music with this vibe.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
May 09 2025

It’s monotone and too long. I see why people like it but it’s not for me at all. 1 star because I have to, plus 1 extra star for ‘Jus’ a Rascal’.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
May 10 2025

This was PHENOMENAL. So funky, so playful, and so so good. How could I frown listening to this?

Suicide by Suicide
May 11 2025

Phenomenal instrumentals that were wasted on whatever those horrible, uncomfortably breathy, did I say horrible, voice tracks are…

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
May 17 2025

If I wanted to make a point about how anyone will listen to anything as long as I named it art, this is what I’d make.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
May 18 2025

I love the spirit of this album, even while I can’t understand a word. The majority of songs in the first 1/3rd-ish didn’t hit for me, but many of the songs later in the album were wonderful.

May 19 2025

I went into my first Mötorhead album ready to dislike it, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fun their sound is! The album is cohesive, though the songs did blend together a bit. I’m not gonna come back to it, but I’m glad I listened to it and know what they’re about now.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
May 20 2025

Too aggressive, too repetitive, not enough content, not that interesting, quite overstimulating.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
May 21 2025

As much as I was entirely overstimulated after listening to this album, I have to admit it’s a hell of a vibe. The individual songs were 50/50 for me.

May 22 2025

It’s a little busier and chaotic than I’d like, but other than that I enjoy the darker 80’s vibe and their usage of synths. The songs are of mixed quality: there’s a few masterpieces, and some cacophonies. I don’t really love the vocals: they are too often pitchy, and a little too sharp/pointy in sound for me. His sound is recognisable and unique though, I'll give 'em that. Also, I can’t tell if they are taking it seriously or not. I kinda hope they’re not.

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 23 2025

As A Gen Z’er, I approach this album differently than someone who had heard this when it came out. The musicality in this album is undeniable, and from what I’ve gathered it was very influential at the time for combining lots of new styles and techniques et cetera. But the year is 2025, and many bands since have been influenced by this sound. Hence why it’s hard for me to be wowed by this album as it is. It’s not bad by any means, but it doesn’t stand out in the current landscape of music. I would not replay this, but I respect this album and The Beatles for what they’ve done for the music industry.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
May 25 2025

lovely sound, i like the jingles inbetween. besides them there isn’t too much that sets this album apart.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
May 28 2025

As someone who’s not into country, this was surprisingly enjoyable. Lots of country music feels like a parody of itself compared to this. This instead felt genuine!

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
May 29 2025

I remember listening to this in high school as a way to start listening to "the cool stuff", and didn't like it then, and I don't like it now. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just not what I would deem good. It’s a bit too weird for me.

May 31 2025

Phenomenal vibes. Great voices. But they put their best stuff at the beginning of the album, so it started dragging around halfway. Last two songs were good again.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jun 19 2026

This sound is a bit boring to me. It sounds pretty monotone all the way through. 2-3 star vibes so far. I like the song breakdown a lot! And Roof is alright. The lyricism on this album is pretty good, but without her phenomenal vocals this album would evaporate entirely.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jun 20 2026

I discovered a good one today! This album is great. I love the writing on it and the instrumentation is nice. I wish they turned up her voice a little bit because the lyrics are so important on this one yet they occasionally get lost a bit. 4 stars. I am gonna relisten with all the lyrics open because this album deserves it. Not 5 star because it misses a bit of punchiness but time will tell whether I really miss that longterm or not.
