Low by David Bowie
Aug 12 2025

Love Bowie, album is solid, but definitely not my favorite of his. Realistic rating of 3/5

Blur by Blur
Aug 13 2025

Can hear the influences and the contemporaries of Blur throughout the album. Certainly an album that embodies the 90s British rock/punk sound.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 14 2025

5/5 Some of the best rock songs ever written on this album with some in-between songs that showcase Jimi's wild and wonderful mind.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 15 2025

Will continue to reach for some of these tunes. Tiny Dancer is just the tip of the beautiful iceberg that is this album.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Aug 18 2025

Very angry album with a lot of heavy emotions. Not my personal go-to style of music, but I can appreciate it. Some iconic songs on here. After reading some more history about the album, it’s clearly a controversial album (not atypical of Trent Reznor). It raises the question “if art inspires individuals to commit acts of violence, should the art be made?”

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 25 2025
Debut by Björk
Sep 01 2025
Sep 02 2025

Never got into Eminem when I was younger. Definitely a slice of nostalgia of that era, but not my cup of tea, even if it's a "shock, but just kidding" style of album.

Drunk by Thundercat
Sep 05 2025
1984 by Van Halen

Strong - Wildfires is an excellent song. Would come back for a handful of songs, but not for the album.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Nov 14 2025
In Rainbows by Radiohead
Nov 15 2025

Loved this album when it came out. Still love it today.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Nov 16 2025

Incredible voice, but hard to appreciate the nuance without knowing the language. Would give it a shot with subtitles I guess.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Nov 17 2025

Too big an album to give it a thorough listen, but this is reminiscent of my childhood with a mother who sang these songs. Not to mention the fact that she's an incredible voice of a generation. 4 only because it needs to be chopped down to one album (which is PLENTY to get Gershwin)

evermore by Taylor Swift
Nov 20 2025

Love her or hate her, she writes a ton of songs that are above average/good/great. Could listen to this album often and enjoy it each time. Not 5 stars, but a very solid 4.

Damaged by Black Flag
Nov 23 2025
Kala by M.I.A.
Aug 12 2026
