Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jun 08 2025

Meh. Not a huge fan. Overall boring soundtrack with a few brief interludes of interest. None of the songs are catchy, most suffer from repetition.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 09 2025

Pretty good! Longer instrumental tracks are the stand out.

Jun 10 2025

Classic Otis Redding. Somewhat impressive and somewhat bland. So influential it has become passe. There's interesting passes here, but a majority of the album falls flat today.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 11 2025

Not very interesting. Only good track was "You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks"

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 12 2025

Da Boss himself. So many classics on this album. "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" is legendary by itself. "Meeting Across the River" might be the only miss on this. While overplayed, "Born To Run" is still good. Boomer? Extremely so.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Beach Boys. What else can I see: "Don't Go Near The Water", "Student Demonstration Time", "Lookin' At Tomorrow", "and "A Day In The Life of a Tree".

Smash by The Offspring
Jun 14 2025

Honestly not a bad album. I simply do not enjoy The Offspring. I like the one hit off this album, but this is not my sound.

D by White Denim
Jun 15 2025

Eh. Not bad, but nothing stood out. I won't go back to this one. "White Denim"? More like white noise.

The La's by The La's
Jun 16 2025

I was doubtful, but ended up liking more or less most of this album. It has an interesting spectrum of sound. Nothing totally standout, but a good listen!

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 17 2025

Joy Division, can't get in to them. Understand why others like them, but I am not so enthused.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jun 18 2025

An excellent album, but I simply will not return to much from it. Nothing stands out to me beside being the origin of Iron Maiden. Never dragged though.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Jun 19 2025

First album of these I did not like. Enjoyment was limited. Not very interesting, only song that kept my interest was "Madeleine-Mary".

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 21 2025

Interesting! I have no familiarity with trip-hop. I like the electronic elements. I will likely come back to this one.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jun 22 2025

Meh. Not my cup of tea. Some interesting electronic work.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jun 25 2025

Meh. Only track I liked was "Spies". Everything else I've already forgotten.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jun 26 2025

Honestly, the more I listened to this album the more I disliked it. "Them Changes" is still great, "Tokyo" is sort of funny", but the album is poorly balanced in general. It really only needs to be like 5 songs. The guest features do not save it.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jun 27 2025

A grand album. The rare case where a single track, "Scorpio" holds the entire thing back. It was a novelty for the time but now it is too much so becomes annoying. The rest is grand though!

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jun 30 2025

Why is this album so long? It has aged into being rather corny. Cool at the time, I'm sure, but I only like "The Pros".

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 01 2025

Crazy good. Exactly what I never knew I was looking for. Going to check out more by DJ Shadow.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 03 2025

I thought this would have aged poorly, but it honestly still sounds good. There's so many tracks better than just "Born in the USA". Inferior to "Backstreets", but still a good album.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jul 04 2025

Meh. Good background noise. Mostly noise.

Jul 05 2025

Eminem has aged worse than his actual albums. That said, the album's shock factor has decline heavily in the last decade or two. There's gems here but it has lost novelty with age. I dunno. Hard to say.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jul 06 2025

Bland outside one or two songs. This sort of indie hipster exposure is noe extinct. RIP.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 10 2025

Boomers don't want you to know it is middling at best.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 11 2025

Enjoyable. Unfamiliar with this band. Not perfect, but I liked it. Will return to.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jul 12 2025

Yeah, it is perfect. I still like "My Favorite Things" more though.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 13 2025

Influential, great, but not perfect.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jul 14 2025

Meh. Sappy, but I liked "If I were You (I'd Be Through With Me)".

Dummy by Portishead
Jul 15 2025

Doubtless a bit cheesy, but interesting. The album is pretty relaxed overall.

Jul 18 2025

Meh. I want to like because of the instrumental work, but the singing and punk-ish elements largely put me off.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 19 2025

Meh. S'okay. Lyrics have perhaps decayed with age, but it is still a good listen.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jul 20 2025

Hesitant between a 3 and 4 hear, but I will rate it on an easy curve.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 21 2025

I mean "The Chauffer" is a five star song. The album? Almost perfection. I just cannot in good conscience give it a 5/5. It though is a legendary 4/5. The most perfect 4/5 ever.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 22 2025

Suboptimal. I barely remember it, but I did not dislike it.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Paranoid and Vol. 4. RIP Ozzy.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 26 2025

I liked it a lot years ago, but time has not be favorable to it in my opinion. Has this sound simply become less and less unique? I feel like Graceland's massive legacy will heavily decline in the next few years.
