The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jul 09 2025

Not what I expected. Loved how experimental it was. Did not love the execution until the last few songs. Ends on a high note.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 10 2025

Absolutely loved this album. Just velvety and soulful. Listening to this album in an open-style office building was an interesting experience.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 11 2025

A weak Beatles album. It felt a bit monotone and felt like it was missing something.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 14 2025

Surprised how much I enjoyed this. I don't think there's a better RHCP album.

Jul 15 2025

Never really knew much by The Kinks, but this was a good start. Biggest enemy is themselves; this album is very British Invasion and they deserve their dues.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jul 16 2025

Loved a few songs. Not so much others. Ultimately okay, I appreciate the roots it set it place for future experimental rock.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jul 17 2025

Feel like I should like this more. Might be too much in the pop realm. Instrumentals were fantastic. But overall felt like something was missing.

Jul 18 2025

Loved this. Go listen. The changes in melody and key throughout songs and the energy keeps you on your toes and wanting more.

Jul 22 2025

Maybe this isn't fair. First time I went back and listened to an album twice. Anytime you hear "another generic Indie band", this is the sound they're trying to imitate. 19 year old me would have LOVED this, but current me still really likes it.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jul 23 2025

This almost feels like a 1 but I didn't HATE it. I struggled and it was a chore to get through. Just not catchy enough for a revisit and just not feeling it.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025
Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jul 25 2025

Really enjoyed this, going in totally blind. Just catchy enough to keep your attention, but not outstanding enough to stand out.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 28 2025

It's the Beatles. I liked it more than Rubber Soul overall.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 29 2025

Honestly shocked and how much I disliked this album. I was so unbelievably bored. The songs blended together so much that I hardly registered when it ended. Maybe I've just grown away from acoustic, folk-y music like this. I really hope to never listen to this album. I am not well versed in Bruce Springsteen, so the bar is set low for me now.

Jul 30 2025

I think that this album was more inventive and different than expected. The titular song has a different feel to it than the rest of the album. I don't know how much I liked a lot of it, and I thought the Coldcut remix track was awful, but ultimately I had more fun than I expected. Even I'm shocked by the 3.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 31 2025

I'm dancing, I really like this, I like the softness of his voice, with the relative calmness throughout some songs, mixed with slap in your face instrumentals. The subject matters are interesting, just really well done. I can't believe this is a movie soundtrack.
