Fun album. Different but still easy listening. Didn't realize this band sang the original Valerie.

All Ratings (111)

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Aug 12 2025

I really enjoyed the instrumentals at the end

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 13 2025

Decent. They have that one song

Boston by Boston
Aug 14 2025

Incredible album. Is this the best debut album of any band ever?

British Steel by Judas Priest
Aug 15 2025

Not my favorite metal band but metal nonetheless. Two big songs on this album.

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 16 2025

I knew two of the songs but listening to the album gave me a new appreciation for Light My Fire. Alabama Song was also a fun one.

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 17 2025

All songs kinda sounded the same. Knew smooth operator.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Aug 21 2025

Very unique sound and it isn't repetitive like some of the other albums I've listened to.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Aug 23 2025

Better than the other Bowie album but still not quite 4 star worthy.

Aug 24 2025

As far as rap albums go, this one is pretty good. I recognized a few songs. ODB is my favorite.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Aug 25 2025

The instrumentals were never boring.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Aug 26 2025

Sabotage is a banger but I surprisingly didn't like most of the other songs. I liked the instrumentals though.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Aug 28 2025

I feel like I'm so brainwashed by Western music that I can't truly appreciate this.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Aug 29 2025

Summer vibes. I like the weird synths. Go West melody sounds really familiar.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Aug 30 2025

I enjoyed it but it wasn't anything special.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 31 2025

Not bad for a rap album. Crazy this album came out on 9/11

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Sep 01 2025

I like the bells on some of the songs and the snare tone. It has a song from Skrek. Borderline 4 star but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Sep 03 2025

I skipped the talking parts. Those are some impressively high trumpet notes in Part I. I enjoyed the Skin Deep drum solos. Riot Prevention is a clever name.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 04 2025

I like the nylon-string guitar and muted trumpet.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Sep 05 2025

His voice sounds like he's doing a bad Bowie impression but it kind of works?

High Violet by The National
Sep 07 2025

It was fine. Relaxing

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Sep 08 2025

Not a fan of the singing style but I liked the instruments used. Some songs had that same old school electric guitar tone like the solo in I Want To Break Free by Queen.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Sep 09 2025

I like how loud the bass is and the stereo sound. I didn't realize In The Ghetto was an Elvis song and not just something made up for South Park 😂

The Clash by The Clash
Sep 10 2025

It was good. I like the clash but I feel like the vocals are better on Combat Rock. The vocals on this album were classic UK punk style.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Sep 11 2025

I liked when he said glockenspiel. Just as it started to get boring, it would switch up. Last song sounds like a SpongeBob song.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Sep 12 2025

Another album where you can actually hear the bass, unlike a lot of modern music. Am I crazy or does the part of Sunrise at 1:22 sound like pinball wizard?

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Sep 13 2025

I really like her voice. Reminds me of Willow.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Sep 15 2025

Different which is nice but I don't like his voice.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Sep 16 2025

Kinda boring. He Doesn't Know Why has the same chord progression as Tell Me Baby by RHCP?

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Sep 17 2025

The first song made me uncomfortable but once I knew what their whole deal was, I got slightly more used to it. I like avante garde metal so I thought I'd like this a little more. The kazoo works well with the vibe though. Not for me but I respect the originality.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Sep 18 2025

Nice kick drum tone. Reminds me of they might be giants but with more ambience.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Sep 19 2025

The Duchess was very interesting. Kinda like mellow goblin metal. I enjoyed the different instruments. Very unique

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Sep 20 2025

Not really my thing but it was relaxing

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 13 2025

Knew superstition. Fine album overall

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 14 2025

I had heard Born in the USA, Glory days, and Dancing in the dark before. I don't love Bruce Springsteen but this album was okay.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 15 2025

Wasn't familiar with the who's game. Young Man Blues is a killer rock song. Very clear bass throughout the album.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Nov 16 2025

Kind of boring. Steamroller and Suite for 20 G were decent.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 18 2025

Decent but only 1 of the 6 songs I know by them is on this album.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Nov 19 2025

Sugar Moon has SpongeBob vibes. She has a good voice.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Nov 20 2025

Not a fan of the British punk voice. Especially the annunciation on I Wanna Sleep With You. Sounds like the singer from IDLES

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Nov 21 2025

Feels shoegazey with some ska influence. It also has hints of MCR. I had heard Where Is My Mind already

Blackstar by David Bowie
Nov 22 2025

It was okay. I liked the brass instruments but I don't love Bowie.

Nov 23 2025

I knew Kill you, Stan, and The real slim shady. First half was good. Now that I'm older I realize how immature Eminem sounds. I still like him over other rappers because of his energy though.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 24 2025

I knew the first three songs and legs. The guitar is very simple but has really good feel it fits perfectly with the music.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 26 2025

Really good and unique. Just the right amount of vocals for this genre.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 01 2025

I really liked the vocals on save the children. The whole album has a gospel feel. I always enjoy a good saxophone too.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Dec 02 2025

I knew Somebody to love. I like the female vocalist. I liked the In the morning guitar solo. I liked the bass on Come back baby.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Dec 03 2025

I liked the space vibes on the first song. I was giving with it at first but it felt repetitive after a while. The shortest song (Quality Seconds) is one of the best and also aptly named.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Dec 04 2025

Not my favorite genre but this album was really well done. I like the weird instrument in Junie.

Dec 05 2025

It was fine I liked the vocal harmonies. I also like the guy's voice a little more. Their singing style kind of reminds me of how priests sing.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 06 2025

I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could but I guess I'll round up. Nice guitar tone.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Dec 08 2025

It doesn't get much more classic blues than this. What kind of guitar is that at the end of Jealous Hearted Man? It reminds me of the one in Train Kept Rollin by Aerosmith.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Dec 09 2025

Sympathy for the devil is a fantastic song but I didn't love the rest of the album. Street fighting man sounded familiar.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 10 2025

I knew the first four songs plus Jamie's Crying. The guitar speaks for itself and the drumming is solid as well.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Dec 16 2025

I don't know how I feel about the vocals. It fits the vibe though. Temptation of Egg was a good kind of weird. The singing style in Raw reminds me of vampire by Olivia Rodrigo. Didn't listen to the remix or bonus tracks.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 17 2025

This may be a sin to say, but I don't really like her voice or the genre.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 18 2025

I don't like her voice and the music made me anxious.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Dec 19 2025

5th season was pretty good. I also liked the guitar solo on shadow of the sun.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Dec 20 2025

Good album overall. The lyrics feel kind of sappy but maybe that's just what music was like in this decade.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 23 2025

Less than zero sounds like glory days by Bruce Springsteen. I had heard Red Shoes before.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 24 2025

Very dissonant. A little unnerving.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 27 2025

Red hot chilli peppers vibes. Interlude was very relaxing.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Dec 28 2025

I knew Money For Nothing and Walk Of Life. Great intros on those songs.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 07 2026

Had heard let's get it on. I don't know how I feel about the weird drum they use in Come Get To This.

Jan 08 2026

It was okay. I don't love his voice but it wasn't bad enough to give the album a 2.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jan 09 2026

Different but still pretty melodic and not as "off sounding" from the western music model as other Eastern albums I've listened to. Wasn't a fan of the shouting style in Naag Devta though.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 10 2026

I really liked the guitar. Knew Purple Rain.

Jan 11 2026

Fun album. Different but still easy listening. Didn't realize this band sang the original Valerie.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jan 12 2026

Normally with this type of music, I feel like the vocals are what make it the hardest for me to digest. So the fact that this was all instrumental made it more enjoyable for me. I like the weird water drop noise on Raga (Desh). Overall relaxing. I feel like this would normally get a 3 but I'm in a good mood today so this is getting 4 stars.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jan 13 2026

I like his voice. Different than what I thought their other songs would sound like based on Creep. Had heard High and Dry before.

Jan 14 2026

Didn't really do anything for me. Some unique instruments though. I skipped through some of Universal Mind Decoder - Alternative Backing Track.

My Generation by The Who
Jan 15 2026

Fine overall. I knew My Generation. I liked the drumming on The Ox.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 16 2026

I haven't seen the movie that this soundtrack is for but it definitely gives some spy movie vibes especially with the guitar in Give Me Your Love.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jan 18 2026

It was fine. Nothing special.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 19 2026

I was familiar with the song One because of Shinedown's cover and I had heard mysterious ways as well before. I liked Acrobat.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 20 2026

I had heard For Free, King Kunta, and All Right before. Those songs were played at parties I went to. Overall it was pretty good for a rap album.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 21 2026

Knew the first song from a commercial. Fine overall.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jan 22 2026

It was cool at first but got old after a while.

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 23 2026

They love their double clap on 4. Why does the belting on the last song sound out of key?

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 24 2026

I had heard Gin and juice and lodi dodi before. I enjoyed the smooth rap style and overall chill vibes. Snoop has good flow and a unique sound.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 25 2026

Classic old school hip hop drums at the start. The album really evolved over time. At some points of this album I thought I'd give it a two as it started to sound repetitive but at other points I thought about giving it a four for it's uniqueness but I'll give it a 4 because I might want to revisit this one again.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jan 27 2026

Only okay. I don't really like her singing style. Last song didn't feel like an end of album song.

Jan 28 2026

Reminds me of Weezer. I didn't like the singing style at first but it grew on me.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jan 30 2026

I don't have much to say for this album. It was fine I guess.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 31 2026

Sounded generic. Nothing really stood out.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 01 2026

I like that I can hear the bass. Had heard War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man before. I knew I liked the songs I had already heard but I also enjoyed the ones I hadn't.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 02 2026

I liked the energy and the variety.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Feb 03 2026

He has such a great voice. His singing style reminds me of Gerard Way a little bit. I had heard Mr. Brightside, Somebody Told Me, and All These Things That I've Done before.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Feb 04 2026

I had heard One More Time before. I liked the short little guitar solo in Crazy and the acoustic guitar on some of the songs. There was also more variety than I expected with songs like Soda Pop. She also sounds older than she really was.

More Specials by The Specials
Feb 06 2026

I kind of forgot there was even music playing at one point. Nothing really stood out but I did like the keys on I can't stand it.

25 by Adele
Feb 14 2026

She has great vocals and they really focus on them in every song by putting her voice at the forefront. But some of her high notes felt slightly jarring even for me who loves higher vocals generally.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Feb 15 2026

Pretty slow and not a fan of the country twang.
