Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Aug 01 2025

Opening song is a bit tame "Play For Today": cool bassline, fun guitar playing, upbeat drumming. Nothing really happens in the song Ugh, this album just isn't for me it's a bit boring, and the vocalist is a bit whiney "A Forest" is fine, more dynamic song, understandable that this is the most popular song Will likely never listen to this album again 🤷

Nevermind by Nirvana
Aug 06 2025

Great album, though i prefer In Utero

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 07 2025

Great Album, vocal performance is really good.

Ramones by Ramones
Aug 08 2025

Great Album, fun and bouncy. Listened with headphones, which was a little annoying with the hard panning of rhythm instruments on the left channel, melodic in the right, and vocals in center. Switching to Mono made it sound a bit weak. But this is not a criticism on the album, only a minor annoyance

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 12 2025

Quite chill Didn't really move me in any way The duo vocals got stale quickly It was okay, won't be adding it to my library, but it was a pleasant enough listen I give it a 3 Score chart: 5 - Adding it, and will listen to it several more times 4 - I liked it, might listen to it again a few times 3 - It was okay, worthwhile listen, not opposed to listening to it again 2 - Not my style, or just didn't hit for me, probably won't listen to it again 1 - I did not like it, unwilling to hear it again

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Aug 13 2025

hadn't heard this song before, but thought Black Sabbath was not my kind of music at all. I was positively surprised, the album has a lot of different sounding songs, with very different vibes to them. 4

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Aug 15 2025

Hell yeah! Incredible album

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Aug 18 2025

amazing album, love it I do believe Pink Moon is a stronger album, but this is still a masterpiece

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Aug 19 2025

such an iconic album, just classic song back-to-back easy 5

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 20 2025

I mean its fine the guitar sound is very harsh, which is cool vocals are a bit weak

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Aug 21 2025

Johhny Cash is really funny 4

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Aug 22 2025

It was very long only had time to listen to about half of it, but what i did listen to was very good! wayyy to much talking between songs, was that normal in the 50s?

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 25 2025

Yes !!

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Aug 26 2025

i like the vibes, really good to work to

Aug 28 2025

Glad: really fun and energetic. The saxophone and piano sound amazing, Freedom Rider: Not as fun as the previous, flute sounds really good, vocals are weak. all the instruments feel detached from each other somehow. Weakest song on the record IMO Empty Pages: Great bass line, and the vocals are much better here. I like a good organ shredding as much as the next person, but I think the organist at a few points drags it out a bit long, so it lost its coolness. Other than that, the organ is really really cool. Stranger To Himself: Its fine, a bit much "guitar virtuoso"-ing for my taste John Barleycorn: weak vocals again, but the acoustic guitar sounds great, and the flute is great again. The duet makes the vocals worse in my opinion. A vocalist with a stronger voice would make this song alot better, and drop the duet Every Mother's Son: Vocals almost do it for me, the song is okay i guess i am torn between a 2 and a 3

Crazysexycool by TLC
Aug 29 2025

Its good, a bit weird to listen to it while working due to the moaning in some tracks. but overall a solid album

Sep 01 2025

Classic Coldplay. I consider Parachutes a better album, but this is a solid album in its own right.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 03 2025

I mean I see the appeal, if i was an angsty teen when this was released, I would probably be all over this. There are a lot of solid songs in this album. The vocals are a little whiney at times, which is the point i guess 🤷 In the Backseat is probably my favorite song on the record.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 04 2025

Oof The first song is a real struggle to listen through. It sounds like the shitty unmastered demo a friend of yours sends to you to see if you like it. Some of the other songs pick up, but never to the point of me liking it.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 09 2025

I had never really heard alot of Creedence Clearwarer, other than the obvious songs. But i really like this album, not my usual style, but i really enjoyed it.

Dookie by Green Day
Sep 10 2025

Weird rating an album i have listened to plenty before, when i was younger and angrier. It is still a solid album, classic green day. I won't be re-adding it to my rotation, so that makes it a 4

Sincere by Mj Cole
Sep 11 2025

Way too long, didn't get through it. Feels weird that this is on the list at all? Checked the score, and it places the bottom 20 of albums reviewed on this site, which makes sense. It does sound like some cool PS2 era main menu music for a racing game or something, but 2 hours of that is pushing it

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Sep 12 2025

Not my style, a bit cheesy

Sep 15 2025

It's relaxing to listen to. a bit on the boring side, but nothing bad to say about it either.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 16 2025

Heard very little fleetwood mac before, other than the most popular songs. This seems more folky. I like it

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 17 2025

This kind of rock isn't exactly my vibe. Some of the songs are fun, but damn do rock bands like guitar solos 🙃

The Clash by The Clash
Sep 22 2025

This is a fun album

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 23 2025

There are some iconic songs on this album, and i recognise that Linkin Park is a popular and highly influential band. Their music is just not for me 🤷 3

Dry by PJ Harvey
Sep 25 2025

It was fine

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 26 2025

Previously, i'd barely heard any of Bruce Springsteen's songs, besides the most famous ones. I struggle to appreciate Bruce Springsteen's songs. This album, even more. There is nothing wrong with any of the songs, I am struggling with coming with any meaningful critique, but I am still not enjoying it. I am just not feeling anything when listening to it.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Sep 29 2025

Very well produced! Enjoying this. Had only heard of Depeche Mode by name The songs do seem a bit too similar to each other for my tastes. 3 or 4

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 02 2025

Very very nice!

Oct 06 2025

I read that this was an avant-garde jazz album before listning to it, which helped me set my expectations. This is not an easy album to listen to. It goes everywhere, and switches up the genres at the drop of a hat. I usually listen to my 1001-album of the day, at work. This is not a good album to listen to while working. But consider all that, i really like it. I doubt i'll listen to it, again though

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Oct 07 2025

This is an amazingly good bossa nova album.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 09 2025

Very cool!

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Oct 14 2025
Sheet Music by 10cc
Oct 17 2025

I'd neither heard of the album, nor the band. But this was really good. Stylistically it is all over the place, switching up the feel of a song mid-track, but it works. Some songs sound a bit like Queen, some like the Beach Boys, then suddenly the bongo drums are brought out, or a sudden samba bossa nova break. I love it. This band sounds like they have a lot of fun creating music. Easily a 5

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Oct 23 2025

A bit boring really 2

Cut by The Slits
Oct 31 2025

I did not like it.

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 04 2025
All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Nov 06 2025

I mean its slipknot 🤷 I usually listen to my daily album at work, and Slipknot isn't my first choice for working music exactly 😅 I had a metal phase when i was 18, and i can enjoy some metal, but i rarely seek it out on my own volition.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 11 2025
Smash by The Offspring
Nov 17 2025
La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Nov 21 2025

# Reactions - Oh wow, groovy - Sounds like loading screen music, in the best way imaginable - I haven't fucked with tango like this before
