Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jun 19 2025

Was already familiar with this album. Really strong, captivating opening. A joy to listen to, even if it doesn't grab your attention all the way through. Great driving music. No bad songs.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 20 2025

Very familiar with this album. No bad songs and so unique. Love it!

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 23 2025

I thought I'd like this but I really didn't vibe with it at all. All felt a bit flat to me, and unfortunately got a little sick of the vocals midway through. Sad.

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 25 2025

I can see the appeal and definitely enjoyed listening to this album. It's just not for me so much.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jun 27 2025

Had never really heard of Nilsson and was really pleasantly surprised. Musically and in terms of songwriting I thought it was great. Just maybe lacking a little bit of flow from one song to the next.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jul 01 2025

The Velvet Underground never really vibed with me to be honest, but still this is probably the best of them and I can understand the appeal!

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jul 02 2025

It's not Ziggy Stardust but it's worth a 4 for the opening alone

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jul 03 2025

Like Regina Spektor at a renaissance fair. I had no idea who Joanna Newsom was and found this album to be a really interesting experience. At times it was fantastic, I'm just not sure how much I'll want to listen again. Still though...respect.

Calenture by The Triffids
Jul 04 2025

A pleasant but forgettable enough listen.

Jul 07 2025

A really pleasant surprise. Some really enjoyable, memorable tunes that I'll find myself listening to again!

Jul 08 2025

Great listen with lots of great hits. Gets a bit samey at times but hard to have too much of a good thing.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 09 2025

This was already high up on my list of favourite indie albums before this. It's just so good. Could listen on repeat forever!

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jul 10 2025

Not all that exciting but nothing wrong with it at the same time. Had its moments.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 11 2025

Not the country album I was expecting at all. Beautiful easy-listening album.

Play by Moby
Jul 14 2025

An album full of earworms. Impressively every song is really playlist-able.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jul 16 2025

The good is very good, and the filler is not hard to listen to either. I just found that I wanted to like it more than I actually liked it.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jul 17 2025

I was waiting for an album like this to come along. When it comes to early hip-hop, I'm glad these albums existed as a precursor to what we have today. But I really got no enjoyment out of this.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jul 18 2025

A very nice listen maybe lacking something a bit more memorable. Would listen again!

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jul 19 2025

Actually not my favourite Beatles album. Obviously there are some all-timers here but just doesn't strike the same chord with me as Revolver or Sgt Pepper. Hilarious that Octupus' Garden is on this album.

Lost Souls by Doves
Jul 20 2025

Fantastic album I'm excited to listen to again!

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jul 21 2025

I heard so much amazing music when I was in Portugal that I never managed to catch the name of, and this guy's the exact vibe. Really enjoyable listen.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 22 2025

An artist I had heard a lot about but never really listened to. A solid album with some good tracks.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jul 23 2025

Not a whole lot to enjoy here. A real snooze fest.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Great album. Ozzy's voice is on point.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jul 27 2025

Will listen to this again. Great chill album with some really great songs.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 28 2025

Some really fun songs with a great energy that unfortunately isn't consistent through the whole album

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jul 29 2025

An album that takes a few listens to fully appreciate. Sad to think of we missed out on.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jul 30 2025

Obviously not the most serious album ever, but wow was this way worse than I remember.
