Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 25 2025

Vocals are too quiet, compared to the guitar. The album has a fairly consistent sound. Would have liked more and louder vocals. I would only bother with this again if I wanted to listen to some electric guitar. Changes is a notable outlier, in that the vocals stand front and centre.

Jul 26 2025

High energy songs that have interesting instrumentals and singing. Fairy tale of new york is a great change of pace compared to the rest of the album, in that it is a duet with a female singer. The "The Dubliners" feature also helps break the album up, I would have liked a lot more features.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jul 27 2025

Great as background music, not much else. This is thanks to its excessive length and consisting of often mellow sounding songs. It looks to be about death and relationships. I like Art Of Dying for its high energy and decent lyrics.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jul 28 2025

The second half is way better than the first half. Mother is also a vocal(and instrumental) outlier, as if they ripped it from another album. It has music videos that add nothing to the experience. It seems to be largely about connections, but they managed to make themselves sound like stalkers. Radiohead's creep is self aware, every breath you take isn't.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 29 2025

Got me moving like a machine, listen to the german version!

Jul 30 2025

Nothing special, my score would be higher or lower if I had nostalgia or minded the praise. Wonderwall is a stylistic outlier in this album.

I hope he doesn't mind me winking asleep. Interesting voice paired with decent instrumentals. This truly feels like a perfectly average album, but that's all you need...

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Aug 01 2025

Energetic music in a language that I can barely understand. Quite problematic for me since I seperate songs using lyrics, also doesn't help that the songs sound similar to me. The songs do sound good enough for me though.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Aug 02 2025

Hello partner, I am here on orders from Big Pink. They told me I would find you here, amongst the rubble .

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Aug 03 2025

Bland, has its moments. The lyrics seem to be fantasy themed, but they lack depth.

Damaged by Black Flag
Aug 04 2025

Primitive punk, sounds like a debut album. I find their voices hoarse, rather than agressive. The most redeemable part of this album are the lyrics. I do also like the instrumentals a fair amount.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 06 2025

Anyone can recognise immaculate flow and beat. There are some lyrics that anyone would be able to understand. Still I most definitively am not the target audience.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Aug 07 2025

Middle of the road, like a fast car. I find "behind the wall" boring.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Aug 08 2025

They tend to repeat the same lyric way too much. This is amplified by the fact that they repeat the same one liner back to back ad nauseam. The sound is inoffensive, so boredom is the most I get. The videos do add a little to the experience, mainly the first two.

Aug 09 2025

Pleasant to listen to, thanks to the calm singing cutting through the relatively energetic instrumentals. The songs carry some meaning, despite the light amount of lyrics. The second and third videos add to their songs. Being roughly about inevitable death and irreversible time respectively.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Aug 10 2025

This is what people think of when they think "jazz".

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 12 2025

I must be missing something... The video adds nothing.

Aug 13 2025

Exactly what you expect from someone called mc solaar. This requires too much effort for me. I find rap already mentally taxing, let alone in a language where I have to carefully listen to understand it. It also doesn't help that certain lyrics have either no meaning/ are metaphorical.

Document by R.E.M.
Aug 14 2025

Great lyrics on a decent album

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 15 2025

Too long for how little material they have. This selection was made because it was their first, not their best. The Fresh video completely changes the track.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Aug 16 2025

Nothing notable

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 17 2025

Feels like sitting in a saloon and listening to hillbillies.

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 18 2025

Lacks emotions and makes me sleepy.

Tapestry by Carole King
Aug 19 2025

Nicely sung, but not for me.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Aug 20 2025

The translated lyrics seem like rather generic poetry. It also has a diverse sound.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Aug 22 2025

Albums relies on vibrato. Gets better towards the end

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Aug 24 2025

Nicely played, the only thing I didn't enjoy were the vocals.

Aug 25 2025

The biggest flaw is the name. The second is that it overestimates how long it should run for. This genuinely feels like material a dj would prepare before they start to mix it up on stage, it feels unfinished.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 26 2025

Background, can't imagine ever playing this with the intent to listen to the songs.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 27 2025

I don't like these slow "love" songs

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Aug 28 2025

A decent album with some industrial touches.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Aug 29 2025

It lacks and feels outdated

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 30 2025

Great voice, she would benefit from having some dedicated bandmembers. Mainly to diversify the instrumentals.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Aug 31 2025

Ambient, relaxing

Transformer by Lou Reed
Sep 02 2025

My enjoyment of this album varies wildly song by song

Murmur by R.E.M.
Sep 06 2025
Survivor by Destiny's Child
Sep 07 2025
Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 15 2025

The start caught me off guard

Imagine by John Lennon
Sep 18 2025
Phrenology by The Roots
Sep 24 2025

Groovy and energetic at best, disconnected and grating at worst

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Sep 26 2025

Aged well

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 27 2025

Great vocals

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Sep 30 2025

Basic picks up—eventually

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 02 2025

They could not be bothered with actually trying.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Oct 03 2025

Slightly too long; sometimes atmospheric, sometimes intense; clean vocals that are elevated by autotune; it is almost experimental. I gave it 3 listens and I think it is alright—or at the very least not a waste of time.
