Blur by Blur
Apr 24 2025

You can see how the band members really grew when they started the Gorillaz. Less developed sound here, pretty average album.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 25 2025

I didn't want to expose myself as a jazz listener so early... please dont let this change your opinion of me… but I liked this a good bit. Would've been a 4, but subtracted points for the boring bassist, the fact that a 15 minute drum solo is excessive, and the fact that I saw Ginger Baker live once and he was kind of a jerk.

Who's Next by The Who
Apr 26 2025

Solid, well rounded album.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 27 2025

I found her voice to be grating when she was singing in the higher register, so this album difficult to get through.

Apr 28 2025

I don’t have much to say about the album or oasis in general. Probably wouldn’t listen again. Anyway, here’s wonderwall…

Apr 29 2025

Never been a huge fan of super barebones production like this. Timothee Chalamet… I mean Bob Dylan… is clearly a talented guitarist though!

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 30 2025

Loved the album concept and cohesiveness! Bits of jazz, classical, and R&B made it really interesting.

May 01 2025

I thought he had a unique voice, but the music was so repetitive and uninspired that i couldn’t take it seriously. Songs can have more than four lyrics, Bill!

May 02 2025

great flow, and i know wu-tang was instrumental to the genre. But i’ve never been a fan of the repetitive and simple backing tracks in hip hop

All Directions by The Temptations
May 03 2025

it wasn’t my favorite temptations album. No huge complaints though.

Achtung Baby by U2
May 04 2025

One or two familiar and fun songs, but the rest felt like it blended together

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 07 2025

I had fun with this album! After a while the song started blending together because I don’t speak any Spanish, but I enjoyed the trombone section and the scat sections

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 08 2025

I couldn’t even get through this album.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
May 09 2025

They went all out with the first song and then didn’t have anywhere else to go with the remaining ones. I still had a lot of fun listening though

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 12 2025

it reminded me of death cab for cutie but was a little pitchier. A lot of it blended together but I could see myself liking this album when i was younger

Queen II by Queen
May 13 2025

Stereo sound is frustrating bc I rarely use both earbuds. But I love Queen and their theatrical-ness.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
May 14 2025

Kinda boring. Nothing offensively bad about it though.

Nowhere by Ride
May 15 2025

I had fun with this one!

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
May 18 2025

i liked everything about this album except the vocals, which made it a bit of a tough listen. Way too over the top.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 20 2025

Pretty good, no complaints

May 21 2025

Yet another album I feel like I’d really like if they had literally any other vocalist. I turned it off on “My New House”. But the backing tracks are great.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 23 2025

I didn’t realize how many of these I knew! Fun listen.

The Bends by Radiohead
May 24 2025

On first listen, I really liked the first 4 songs or so and then the rest all blended together. I gave it one more chance and its grown on me — and I would probably like it more if I was in an angstier mood.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 25 2025

First song was iconic. The rest were good, but the last song annoyed me so much I had to dock the score.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
May 26 2025

it kinda felt like the soundtrack to the tutorial stage of a video game: repetitive, no melody, and something you’re not supposed to listen to for more than 5 minutes. But it wasn’t offensive or grating, so i wasn’t in pain listening to this album like some of the others.

Marquee Moon by Television
May 27 2025

Never heard of this band. There were a few fun guitar riffs but I didn’t feel like anything stood out, so I’ll probably forget who this band was by next week.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
May 28 2025

I knew quite a few of these songs, but I genuinely didn’t even know the name of this band! My mom must have listened to this album while I was growing up. As a result it’s quite nostalgic for me.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
May 29 2025

Funnily enough, I have one song saved by Scott Walker so I thought I’d like this album. Unfortunately I couldn’t really take his voice seriously here, and it was tough to get through

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 03 2025

I’m sure it was very influential in its genre. Not really my kind of music.
