Guero by Beck
Jun 24 2025

Really enjoyed the riffs and the instruments especially on songs such as Que' Onda Guero. The overall aesthetic of the sound and the overt but soft sounding vocals came together for an overall amazing listening experience. One of the better albums I've found as of late. Opens up with such a hard guitar solo. Such a peak opening track. Has a really awesome closer too. The beeps and boops make for a nice listening experience. Final thoughts: The opening track has one of the hardest guitar solos I've ever heard, the tracks flow together nicely and there isn't a single bad song on this entire album. 5 stars, not because I think it's perfect but because I thoroughly enjoyed it and I found no inherent flaws.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 26 2025

Started off okay - then I heard "mother" could be the worst song I've heard in the last week, the vocals make my ears bleed and the shallowness of the sentiment trying to be offered by the song is just cringe to put it simply. Synchronicity seems like one of those albums that were included (in the 1001 albums collection) based off a single hit the band in question made, in this case "Every Breath You Take" which is of course an all timer, but the inclusion of this album off solely that is a bit questionable in my opinion. Not a huge fan of this, but it has it's highlights.

Opens up super passionate and the guitar and drums go really hard. Also interesting lyrics with a lot of conviction. Content on album has a pretty direct focus but it does get a bit repetitive at times

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 28 2025

Very soulful, loving and sincere LP from Marvin Gaye. Era defining album and one that I personally enjoy a lot. I don't have a ton to say about it other than it's great.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 29 2025

Nice electronics, vocals and sampling. Cohesive and enjoyable record. Was expecting metal, definitely wasn't metal lol

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jun 30 2025

I'm a sucker for good vocals and Norah's voice is just beautiful. This album is great, her descriptions of love and interworking's of it are descriptive and vivid, The album opens and concludes on such a sweet, loving note and the ideas and creative directions explored vary enough for none of the content to get old or bland. All-around a lovely album!

The Score by Fugees
Jul 01 2025

Great vocals from Lauryn. Classic hip-hop/soul/r&b songs. Super influential record for the genre.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jul 02 2025

good vocals, entertaining lyricism, great record!

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 04 2025

really interesting and good feeling from this album, difficult to describe but great guitars and lovely pacing from vocalist. sounds like arctic monkeys if they were good

D by White Denim
Jul 07 2025

pretty fun indie/psyc rock. i enjoyed the pink floyd sample. nothing too crazy but a nice, fun listen overall.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 08 2025

Super jazzy, super introspective and super unsettling/uneasy at times... One of the most unique Radiohead albums, and one that intrigues me quite a lot. From the weird album cover to the strange chopped up beats and sounds incorporated throughout the album, to even the strangely cryptic lyric. In my opinion, Amnesiac is Radiohead's most underrated album and it isn't close! (maybe it's close between Amnesiac and AMSP, but then again moon shaped pool gets quite a lot of praise) I think this album in terms of weirdness matches OK Computer and Kid A and in terms of elements is quite similar to In Rainbows. All in all, while I've heard it a lot already, as always it was an enjoyable listen, and I love this album !!

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jul 09 2025

I went into this expecting something grandiose, something magical due to how critically acclaimed it is, and all that I've heard of it before actually listening to it, and honestly I was quite disappointed. By no means was it bad, but it just wasn't incredible, it didn't meet my expectations and overall it was just okay. I liked Sunday Morning tho.

Risque by CHIC
Jul 10 2025

great vocals and smooth production, really groovy and vibey record, I really enjoyed it.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jul 11 2025

decent, the songs are kinda generic I feel like I've heard them all before. nothing incredible or terribly offensive, just a pretty okay pop/rock album.

1999 by Prince
Jul 12 2025

funky, hippy pop. i really enjoyed it.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jul 14 2025

unbearably slow and whinny

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jul 15 2025

she has a great voice and she writes songs very well. at times the album felt a little bit repetitive but overall it was great.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jul 16 2025

first non-English album I've tried. It was fun, I liked his vocal diversity.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 17 2025

goats of shoegaze, I don't really like the vocals on this album as much as I do on loveless but they're still great on certain songs. Overall a really good experience of an album, I really like mbv.
