Headquarters
The MonkeesAll I know about the Monkee’s is the tv show, so going in I was expecting something campy. I was pleasantly surprised with the album I heard. I particularly enjoyed Band 6, Sunny Girlfriend, and No Time.

Where is My Mind? was the stand out for sure, and I enjoyed the last 4 tracks. The first half kinda blended together for me.
Love everything on display. The production is catchy and the rhymes practically trip over each other.
Recognized the title track immediately. Whole album was great, I loved hearing the organ play around with the guitar. Green Onions and You Can’t Sit Down were my favorites.
Every song felt epic and unique
It’s grand and epic but long and not always interesting.
Not my cup of tea for the most part. I enjoyed the last two songs and Anyday
Love this! Her voice and the arrangements are beautiful. Favorite songs were Sleep to Dream, Criminal, Slow Like Honey, Never Is a Promise, and Carrion.
Enjoyed it a lot. Very atmospheric and at times reminded me of Talking Heads. My favorite part was the 4 track run of tonite, call the police, american dream, and emotional haircut.
Really fun to listen to. Glad this album was assigned today, R.I.P. Ozzy. Favorite tracks were Snowblind and Under the Sun.
I’ve probably heard all these songs at one point or another but haven’t listened to the full album before. Favorites were Octopuses Garden, I Want You, and Carry That Weight.
Interesting narrative, kept my interest despite the length. My only complaint is I felt some of the songs barely fit into the story.
Super chill vibes. Loved it a lot. Mentira, Lágrimas de Oro, Luna y sol, Welcome to Tijuaña, Malegría, and La Vie à 2 were my favorites.
I liked it more than I expected. Not as grungy as I thought it’d be. My favorites were the first three tracks
This one is pretty chill. My favorite tracks were Everything Put Together Falls Apart, Me & Julio Down by the Schoolyard, and Paranoia Blues.
It was an interesting listen. I liked the atmosphere the album put you in. However only songs I really vibed with were Hudson Line, Goddess on a Hiway, and Delta Sun Bottleneck Stomp.
Really liked the atmosphere created by the first half, really feels chill and the songs seem timeless. Then A Gospel and Strength of Your Nature really derail the albums flow by sounding completely dated.
Enjoyable easy listening album. Highlights were Down to Zero, Water with the Wine, Save Me, and Tall in the Saddle
Yesss, love it! Have listened to Herbie Hancock before and was excited to give this one a listen. Will definitely getting regular spins after today!
Fun to listen to, very energetic.
Enjoyed it more than Tommy, it wasn’t as long and not having to stick to a story allowed more freedom to play. Favorite songs were the two singles and My Wife.
The singles were enjoyable. The whole album sounded the same.
Fun, light hearted album. Lots of short catchy songs, I especially enjoyed Session Man, House in the Country, Holiday in Waikiki, and Sunny Afternoon.
Relaxing background music.
Didn’t vibe with this one as much. I enjoyed the song Pass in Time but nothing else really captivated me.
I’ve listened to R.E.M. before but never this album. This was one of their better ones. Favorites included Drive, Ignoreland, and Man on the Moon.
Loved it! Was groovin to every track, will definitely be playing this album again!
I’m torn. I love the music but don’t love the lyrics. Like I love the track Gs and Hustlas for the music but the tracks For All My Niggaz & Bitches and Ain’t No Fun make me cringe hearing the lyrics. The singles are still fun to hear and I also enjoyed Serial Killa.
This is a very 80’s album. The production on some of the songs, particularly Sledgehammer and Big Time was pretty dated, but I did enjoy Red Rain, Mercy Street, and We Do What We’re Told.
This was an interesting listen. I’ve heard their next album Loveless so it was cool to see them use some of the same techniques in a more accessible way. I’d listen to this again. Favorite tracks were Soft As Snow, No More Sorry, Feed Me With Your Kiss, and Nothing Much To Lose.
Beautiful, soaring background tracks made the album pretty enjoyable for me. My favorite tracks were Hazel Jane I, Poor Boy, and the three instrumental tracks.
Loved it!
I really liked this one. It reminded me of albums like Igor and Because the Internet that are full of lush production that pull from different inspirations. Some of the songs were a bit too self aggrandizing for my taste but overall well made album
This was so good! A new favorite!
I liked what I heard but it was a bit too slow/quiet for me to really enjoy. Best tracks were Knives Out and Life in a Glasshouse.
What is happening??? This is some melodic folksy hippie adjacent shit and I like it??? I’m not even high right now. Bravo Canada. Bravo.
Light hearted quick little album. I liked some of the campier songs but Everybody’s Been Burned, Thoughts and Words, and Mind Games were my favorite.
Not my thing. I liked the shorter tracks on the album but it was just too long with not enough happening to keep my interest.
Loved it! As always with The Beach Boys I come for the vocal harmonies, some heartfelt lyrics, and a little camp. This album delivered all that and then some. Favorite tracks were Long Promised Land, Disney Girls, Student Demonstration Time, and Surf’s Up
This was a lot of fun! Catchy, full of pop and a bit of attitude. Favorite tracks were Our Lips Are Sealed, The Town, We Got The Beat, and Skidmarks On My Heart
I feel like this is an album that requires a few listens to really get into. I liked what I heard but nothing stuck out as something I wanted to immediately return to.
Another one I enjoyed a lot more than I expected. The length of the album is what kept it from getting a higher rating
I enjoyed it but it felt like a collection of songs. Would pull this out again on date night but probably not for much else.
Love this one. I’ve heard it before and it’s even better a second time. Too many favorite tracks to name them all
I’d heard every Hüsker Dü album except this one and now I’m mad I didn’t listen to it sooner. Great album
This was pretty good. I ended up liking the non-single tracks better, which meant I enjoyed the second half a lot more (especially the last two tracks)
I’ve listened to this once before and enjoy it even more than the first time
This was another album where I liked the second half better than the first. The second half was a lot more lively and emotional, starting with The Ballad of Lucy Jordan.
Interesting listen, I can definitely hear the elements of what would become shoegaze.
