This album is an incredible example of experimental and innovative instrumental rock. While this album has its high highs, sometimes it falls short of its expectations, and has very low lows. I loved the songs Glass Museum and The Taut and Tame. By far a good album.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis

What an incredible jazz record! This is the first Miles Davis record I got on vinyl, so every time I hear it, it just makes me so happy! What a smooth jazz record!

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

What an iconic album by an iconic band. I’m not that big on metal… but this is on a different level. This is ROCK!! I liked it. I would go back to it!

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 15 2025

Good album. I was surprised, since I don’t really like folk, but this took rock and it felt like it may have reinforced folk as more of a rock genre. I like it, and I highly recommend.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jun 16 2025

This is an incredible album! This is seriously one of the most inspirational albums of all time. People will call this Prince’s best album, just because of the amount of fame it got, but honestly, in my opinion, it’s not. Still a great album, but it’s not worth the hype that people give it that often. It’s an incredible album though.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jun 17 2025

It’s an alright album. A song like Running Up That Hill is very iconic, so in terms of icon likeness, it has very big influence on pop culture. But other than that, I don’t believe this album is really as amazing as people always say.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 18 2025

It sounded like a mix of some type of southern rock, but mixed with Bob Dylan and The Beatles at the same time. In fact, the opening track, called Tears of Rage, is written by Bob Dylan. The song is definitely a 5/5 stars!! This album is really cool, since it came out in July of 1968, but it sounds like a later 1970’s album. The Band was beyond their time. Very cool record.

1999 by Prince
Jun 19 2025

One of the best 80’s albums. SO DEFINING! Great!

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jun 20 2025

A very interesting album. While I do find some of the tracks to be cool and well produced, I feel like most of the tracks are just compiled sounds and random odds and ends. I wish I could say I liked this record more. Sorry…

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 21 2025

The album is good, but it’s hard to ignore the over saturated love R&B ballads on it. While they sound great (it is MARVIN GAYE), some songs can feel way too overly cheesy and cringey. Other than that, this is a good record.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 22 2025

Not a good album. Just a bunch of noise and ridiculously loud guitar.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 23 2025

This is a really smooth and really good hip hop record. It has a pretty smooth flow with some ok songs here and there. There’s really only like two songs that I thought were ok. It was really good though!

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 24 2025

This is a very cool album. It mixes blues, rock, and jazz. This album is CRAZY! I didn’t expect to like it as much as I did. This record changes second by second and I think it’s incredible how Zappa could fuse many different styles into one. This album is really cool!

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 25 2025

This record was a very bluesy one. Which, at first sounds like a great listen, which a lot of the songs are. But some go way too close to being country. I’d say this album imagined what Bob Dylan and southern rock would sound like if they came together. It sounds good, but some songs just fall short. Not a bad album at all though.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 26 2025

This album good, but everything I was hearing about the record told me it was gonna be great. And if I’m being honest, I just couldn’t see it in a GREAT light. I thought that the record would be very clean and well put together, but I felt like it didn’t hold up to that standard. It he vocals were very hard to hear and the mix wasn’t very smooth. Some songs were better than others, but I felt like it could have been a lot better than people were saying it was gonna be.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jun 27 2025

This is a very good record, but the only downside is that 5 out of the 16 tracks are interludes. This makes it incredibly hard to rate and analyze. While, I loved the record, the interludes made it hard to follow the story. And I feel like I need to rate the interludes, since they are on the album and define it in the R&B world. This made it feel MANDATORY to have to listen to every single track from back to back. But I enjoyed the normal track list, excluding the interludes.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jun 28 2025

The record was surprisingly good!! While some of the interludes were ridiculously sexual and very uncomfortable, the rest of the songs held up very well. And I LOVE 90’s hip hop. This is a good record!

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jun 29 2025

This album was good! There were good songs and there were “meh” songs if I’m being honest. But, I can safely say that I didn’t hate this record, but I didn’t love it. That’s why the score is right in the middle.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 30 2025

This album was a crazy mix of blues, soul, and rock. The lead singer, also the bassist and guitarist, had a cool and smooth voice, but if I’m being honest, it was nothing that impressed me too much. This album was good, but I don’t know if I would ever truly go back to it again.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 01 2025

This was a really cool album that I had heard one of my friends talk about a lot. He told me that I should listen to it, so I’m glad I got that one generated!! It’s rock and roll at its finest. It also has some ballad-like qualities that I do really enjoy. I’ll have to listen to more of Bruce Springsteen!

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 02 2025

The album is an alternative masterpiece if I’m being honest. The drums, the guitar, the singer!! They are all soooooo good!! I wasn’t sure what this album would sound like, and I can safely say that it was really good! Not perfect, but great!

Third by Portishead
Jul 03 2025

The record felt like an exploration I don’t think I’d go on again. It feels like a journey through bad sounds, but pretty cool lyrics.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jul 04 2025

This is was mediocre album if I’m being honest. It did have great songs, but I feel like I’ve heard better blues elsewhere. I have heard of the artist, but I don’t know if I’d come back to the album. Since I don’t love it and I don’t hate it. I’m gonna have to give it a 3 out of 10, But honestly, it could be higher and it could be lower. Not exactly sure but I’m just gonna put it in the middle to be safe.

The album was good! I thought I wasn’t a huge fan of the record, but I was really wrong. The only song that I thought was ok was Star, but other than that, all the tracks were great! The lyrics, production, and instrumentation make the songs stand out. This is truly an amazing album.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 06 2025

The record is good, but it just feels like old, generic music that has aged since 1957. There were really good songs, don’t get me wrong. I just feel as though a lot of the music from the 50s has this feeling about it, so it’s just a generational thing.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jul 07 2025

This record is smooth and full of beautiful jazz songs accompanied by Sarah Vaughan’s silky vocals. I can’t believe I loved this that much. I look forward to getting this!

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 08 2025

Metal has never been my cup of tea, but I think this album changed that for me. I loved some of the tracks on it, but to be honest it’s right in the middle, since I didn’t like some of the tracks. It’s good though!

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jul 09 2025

The album was cool. I don’t really have much to say about it. Soul Auctioneer sounds like if Bob Dylan made electronic music in the late 90s, which doesn’t sound good, but it’s actually ok. Right down the middle. 3 out of 5.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 10 2025

What an incredible jazz record! This is the first Miles Davis record I got on vinyl, so every time I hear it, it just makes me so happy! What a smooth jazz record!

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jul 11 2025

The record is very good, and that took me by surprise, since I’ve never really listened to “yacht rock” before or soft rock. It’s a very impressive album though, since Steve Winwood played all of the instruments!! It’s good!! I’m glad I liked it as much as I did.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jul 13 2025

Not great.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 14 2025

Good! A folk rock album I really do love! I’ll come back to this record!

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jul 15 2025

A couple of the tracks are good, but it’s just too avant-garde for me. I feel like at some parts, all that they’re doing is just making noise. But not all of it is bad.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 16 2025

It’s a good record, which is surprising because I didn’t think I would like Elvis Costello… but I don’t even know why. It’s some good rock and roll that you just don’t see today. It’s good!

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 17 2025

This record was incredible! Another Neil Young album I love! It’s acoustic quality, along with its hard rockers at some points, make it a very good mix of a record. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 18 2025

This record feels like a mix of punk rock and pop. It’s pretty good, but I don’t know if I’d come back to a lot of the tracks. But it’s cool!

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jul 20 2025

I found this project to be a very interesting look into the mind of Robert Wyatt. While there were songs I strongly disliked, not hated, but disliked, there were songs I really liked. So this is a good record to put on and kind of skip through, but not listen to all the way through. So I’ll say three out of five stars.

This album was a very experimental look into alternative/indie rock. PJ Harvey is an artist who I’ve never heard of before, but after listening to this record, I will definitely have to listen to more of her stuff!

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 22 2025

It was a cool singer-songwriter album. It came out in 1968, but sounds much newer. They were way ahead of their time! So good. Good songwriting and instrumentations.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

What an iconic album by an iconic band. I’m not that big on metal… but this is on a different level. This is ROCK!! I liked it. I would go back to it!

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jul 26 2025

A really good album! It includes folk, rock, jazz, and blues all on one album. Really good!!

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Jul 27 2025

It’s a cool album. Some songs are great and others just fall short to my standards and expectations. But I would revisit it!

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jul 29 2025

A good album. Reminds me of soft rock, but also classical music at the same time. Really good!

Synchronicity by The Police
Aug 02 2025

A pretty dang good album! I’d go back to it! I didn’t enjoy as much as I thought I would, but still liked it!

The Score by Fugees
Aug 03 2025

Really good old school hip hop record!

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 04 2025

Didn’t think I would love this album, but it turned out that it’s GREAT!

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 05 2025

AMAZING HIP HOP RECORD! I’m really shocked I like it that much.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Aug 07 2025

A really cool Bowie-like album. But Bowie mixed with Duran Duran!

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 08 2025

It’s ok. It’s just too classical for me

Aug 09 2025

A really good hip hop record. I thought I HATED Eminem. But I was WRONG

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 10 2025

It’s a cool instrumental funk album that has cool beats and nice atmosphere. It’s great!

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Aug 11 2025

A cool hip-hop inspired electronic record. It’s really good!

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 12 2025

Just a 5. For obvious reasons. 5!!

Picture Book by Simply Red
Aug 14 2025

Nice and smooth pop. I’d go back to this for sure!

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Aug 15 2025

A cool album, but a little abstract and aggressive to be brought on as just a normal record.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 16 2025

Great record! Smooth r&b/disco! Really good!

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 18 2025

Good record and it reminds me a lot of the Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, and The Cure! It’s really good!

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 23 2025

A pretty good record! There’s a lot of good songs, then there’s just songs that are EHHHH

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 26 2025

Really good album!

Low by David Bowie
Aug 30 2025

Parklife by Blur
