Hms Fable by Shack
Jul 25 2025

I feel like I'm in a 90s quirky rom-com. A little curious if they sound a bit derivative or if they're one of the first of this type of...alt? britpop? I like the nautical sea shanty parts.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 28 2025

As a teen, Where is my mind was everywhere, but the first time i heard gigantic is when i noticed the pixies and its still a favorite on this album, mostly because of Kim Deal's vocals. On the flip side, Where is my mind sounds pretty different from the album, but it's hard to come at it when it's so familiar. Favorites: Gigantic, River Euphrates.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jul 29 2025

I think it takes me some effort to listen to jazz, or like, sometimes not have it fade into the background. I liked Minor Chant a lot but I wonder if that's because it finally registered midway through the album.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 30 2025

bland, unremarkable except for the discomfort I feel with Bono's voice.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jul 31 2025

Shining Star is such a high energy start, and then go into just...good groove.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 04 2025

I bet this is great in a stadium. Just fun all around.

2112 by Rush
Aug 05 2025

epic. Fun. I liked the first half better perhaps.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Aug 06 2025
Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Aug 07 2025

I was in Oasis as a teen. Live Forever was absolutely something to listen to when you were in the throes in your bedroom. Anyways, I don't know that it's aged well as an entire album for me. The second half was not nearly as fun as I remember.

1984 by Van Halen
Aug 08 2025

I really don't like this album cover so I have avoided this album. There's all these great openings in this songs and then it doesn't pan out into a song I like fully. The guitar can be fun and then kind of looses it's edge.

Ramones by Ramones
Aug 12 2025

3.5 Fun. Probably monumental for its time. Certainly the cover looks modern it's used so much. But gets pretty repetitive there. I like let's dance.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Aug 13 2025

I did not like this one. I hate the dudes voice. Every so often there would be something I liked, but then the song was a minute long and it ended. Not for me

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Aug 14 2025

I really liked this one. A little anxiety inducing, but not a bad one to listen to when you're doing work or walking.

Aug 15 2025

I wanted this to be like modern english but it didnt quite hit the same. more boring.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Aug 18 2025

Prince is still just not quite for me. I want more punch somehow.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Aug 19 2025

Love this album. Wild is the wind was a lot to me in my early 20s.

Bossanova by Pixies
Aug 20 2025

different fun their last, but still fun

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Aug 21 2025

I love this. It's like...parlor country. Feels like Julee Cruz, not out of place in a David Lynch movie in some songs.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Aug 25 2025

3.5 I like this one a lot more than their other one. More kind of guitar energy. I like Atomic Punk. Still don't love the voice, but it was an interesting time period of really promoting straight men's sexuality and desirability.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 26 2025

Pretty fun! Bias for that song from Clueless, but it's definitely a fun kind of summer album. Movie music.

#1 Record by Big Star
Aug 27 2025

I love thirteen as a song and have for a long time, but it really is so different from the rest of the album

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 28 2025

Starting off with Running up that hill is a banger of a choice. love jig of life

Suicide by Suicide
Aug 29 2025

surprisingly controlled

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Sep 02 2025

Most of all though, i love this cover. But it's a fun cruising album too.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Sep 03 2025

Hit and miss. Another one of those male singing voices I don't like, like they're just powering through it.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 08 2025

super different from how i think of them. not my fav

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 09 2025

Actually loved this. Especially the run with Rococo and the ones after. It's very nostalgic, jangly, danceable and earnest. 3.5 though, it was a little too long.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 11 2025

actually really love this. A nice earnestness, feels like the fun hip-hop albums from before 9/11

Sincere by Mj Cole
Sep 12 2025

bumping.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Sep 15 2025

Such a bop and high energy, but i think as a whole album, it starts sounding very similar. But I feel like i'm not listening to it as it was meant to be listened to.

Kenya by Machito
Sep 19 2025

Great cooking album

Sep 22 2025

One of my favorites. There's few singers who are so evocative, I feel. I sing "I've been loving you too long" in the shower a lot.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 23 2025

Manages to be nice and calming but danceable and fun. i could both work or nap to this. interchangeably.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 24 2025

that was a long early song. These 80s pop albums always seemed semi experimental, but a lot of times just ended up kind of dull.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Sep 25 2025

Quite enjoyed this, but I was surprised by the year.

25 by Adele
Sep 29 2025

She really does just have heavy hitter songs on every album

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Sep 30 2025

Just some nice and relatively familiar instrumentals.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Oct 01 2025

really do be ho tales
