Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

5/5

Fantastic album - wonderful melodies, a saccharine and plaintive voice driving you mad but comforting you as well, confusingly

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Would be great for working out. Probably not a casual listener for me, but it’s a great album in technical/musical terms, love the anti-war and government sentiment as well

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Fun, experimental, weird, lovely. A grand old time, all hail Bowie

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

More variety in the album then the three songs I know so well

Smash

The Offspring

4/5

Full of energy and dissidence, some felt too 90’s to really enjoy, but some of it really holds up

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Saying Aretha is incredible is like saying water is wet, but my first time through a full album of hers and I’m damn near speechless

American Idiot

Green Day

5/5

Listened to this album more than 40/50 times growing up, unmatched for its time and its purpose

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Really lovely album. Flows well, has a bouncy moody ambience, and has interesting things to say as well as some silly things. Overall a great listen!

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Immaculate vibes, truly. One part nostalgia and one part undiscovered bliss

So Much For The City

The Thrills

4/5

Melancholic with a satiating twang. Easy listening, shimmering vocals, and some pretty picking, though maybe not a daily listen for me

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

Wonderful heartfelt album, really feels like experiencing a piece of a man’s soul, a journey into his hurt and psychic trauma. Great playing on every track, and a deep rich voice

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

5/5

Weird as hell, I love it. Not something to just add to playlists, but a lil masterpiece of a thing. Contains a lot of divergent energies, but still somehow cohesive. Can get a bit strung out in places

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

4/5

Fun style. Feels like some guys with blues foundations wanted to follow the Beastie Boys

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Classic album. Way more soul in this one than expected. A lovely time spent

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Bits of delight laced throughout, but something cheesy or false pervades. Overall, not really my jam

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Fun bouncy album, a bit too much on the pop side of things for me, but some of the songs are a ton of fun. Lead singer’s voice is fantastic and super versatile

Paul Simon

4/5

Bright energy, lots of positivity and fortitude. A mainly relaxing listen

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Very lovely playing, lots of different modes encompassed in the performance, the shifts and accelerations to create differing sentiments is stunning. A great performance to listen to while working

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

5/5

A classic - full of bangers, soul, and lovely melodies. Mick shooting lightning and Keith shooting heroin

Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

The Pharcyde

4/5

Such a fun album. Like Wutang if they did acid. Back and forth from laid back to in your face, not a bad vibe in sight

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

4/5

Really good album, a type of metal I can totally get with. Not a casual listen for me, but definitely great for the gym

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Classic album - didn’t know about this original version, but what a lovely surprise it is

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

Haunting and spooktacular. Ghosts of melodies and paths widning off into the dark forrest

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

5/5

Fantastic album - wonderful melodies, a saccharine and plaintive voice driving you mad but comforting you as well, confusingly

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

A nice album - desolate ballads that don’t seem to live up to their potential mostly, dissonance without a purpose or something like that

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Lovely music, but as good as the melodies are and as beautiful/poetic as the writing is, it kinda gets trapped in one lane, needs more ingredients or energies to feel more complete as a work of art. Fantastic, nonetheless

Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

More soul than I expected, a lot of interesting ideas and some mundane ideas interestingly expressed, love it

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Sparkling with positivity and bodacious vibes, a great mood album. Built for a summer drive through the countryside

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

5/5

Classic. The inchoate rock that would propel the blossoming of a movement. So sick, but so much repetition within songs and on the album. A good time tho

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Powerful and fun - lighter than Led Zeppelin 1, but still a lot of the soul, energy, and beauty of it.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

About what I expected, musically good and full of life. But missing something integral to what I enjoy in music, can’t quite say what

Smile

Brian Wilson

3/5

Cute, but not as good as actual Beach Boys stuff, kinda just a bummer

Rio

Duran Duran

3/5

They’re not beating the cheesy allegations, but this is a fun time.

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Vivacious, provocative, energetic. Good dirty fun

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

3/5

Musically impressive (I think?) but would just never listen to this

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Interesting album, some of the songs are nice, but it doesn’t quite click for me. Maybe someday

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

4/5

Good album, surprising in its different tones, deeply felt emotions expressed

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

4/5

A good solid album of resistance and folkloric lovesongs. Good for a hootenanny or two

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Fun, summery, a bit too much of the same, but cohesive in that same way

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

As good as I remember, a masterpiece of beach love and longing

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

5/5

Wonderful stuff, for nostalgia and all the great times spent with this album, def a 5

Queens of the Stone Age

2/5

Kinda felt like watered down Foo Fighters/RHCP - not for me, maybe

2112

Rush

3/5

Pretty good, lots of energy, variation springing off the songs, but not quite my jam

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

5/5

Fantastic! Not a daily listener, but for certain moods and vibes, seems like it’d be undefeated

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

Good fun, high energy, bouncy and interesting

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

Nicht fur mich, ich hasse diese album gern

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Really good vibes, innovative and interesting

Fulfillingness' First Finale

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Beautiful, fun, of course. A resounding W for Stevie W

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

4/5

A funky fun vibe, noise rock for Rasta-electronica

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

5/5

Laidback interesting production, innovative lyrics, and making their own lane

Ritual De Lo Habitual

Jane's Addiction

4/5

Grating, but in a good way? Seems like they were a bit of trailblazers for this particular kind of sound

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

More fire from Bob and The Wailers, one of my favorites of his

Ramones

4/5

Innovative for its moment. My issue with this album has always been it gets stuck making the same song, vibes-wise, for the whole album

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

2/5

Pretty, but damn near unlistenable. Feel like I’d have to be depressed, on heroin, and numb in a unique way to enjoy this

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

3/5

A bit hokey and cute for today, but I bet this shit went hard as hell in the 80’s

Moving Pictures

Rush

3/5

Not really my thing, but I can see the appeal

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

3/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

5/5

Fantastic. Raw, pure angst and lovely little riffs everywhere you look. Jack White’s a creative monster

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5
