You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Reminds me a lot of David Bowie's Blackstar - a clear farewell album from a prolific artist. Musical arrangements are sparse and mournful, but deeply evocative, especially with the choral backing vocals.

Parklife

Blur

4/5

From the jump I'm in. My only experience with Blur is Song 2, and I'm deeply into this. I don't know how I've never heard Girls & Boys before but it's still such a bop 30 years later.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Very into the beats and the flow. This has the feeling of being something new and testing the waters.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Vibes: middle of the western desert, no living creatures as far as the eye can see. Evokes melancholy, raw gritty hopelessness but will carry on anyways.

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

4/5

Jazzy vibes and I like it

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

4/5

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

Not for me, but I respect it for what it is.

Another Green World

Brian Eno

4/5

Background vibes

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

3/5

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

It's the fucking Beatles, what else am I supposed to do

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

It's Fine(tm).

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

I did not know that music could induce literal nausea

Scott 2

Scott Walker

3/5

Interesting! Crooner but with lyrics/subject matter that's more raw.

The World is a Ghetto

War

4/5

The only acceptable War is this band

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

College nostalgia, Brit-rock defining album, very into it

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

Oh yeah, this sounds pretty cool -- OH I KNOW THAT SONG (track 4)

Bummed

Happy Mondays

3/5

Talk-singing, feels kind of background lazy in its vibe. Sounds are interesting, seems Talking Heads-adjacent. Nothing I'd listen to on repeat, but it's fine.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

5/5

A legend for a reason. Makes you believe harmonica is the sexiest instrument. Also very cool to hear the crowd engagement with the live album format - starting with polite applause and going full-out losing their minds by the end.

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

Bluesy influence, great for your backyard tailgate without your racist neighbors.

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

3/5

Some interesting classical instrument use going on here. Definitely experimental, probably changes your life if you listen to it while high. Track title and associated lyrical issues aside, Gypsy Woman musically fucks.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Something that interests me in where she's going, although a little heavy on collabs.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

I don't care if this is the nostalgia talking, this is Coldplay's best album. It's cool to hate on them, and their newer music does feel kind of try-hard, but this is them at their best. Green Eyes, God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, The Scientist, Clocks, all of it just hits perfectly.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

4/5

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

3/5

Solid background music

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

4/5

Still just as good as it was when I first heard it. Approachable even when it gets weirder/experimental.
