Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma

Two equally strong impressions. Sharma is aaster of his instrument, and I have no strong desire to continue listening to this music at this point

Psychedelic rock. Lots of drifting electric guitar riffs, real more Dynamics than I thought there would be over the course of the whole album. Interesting to read up about the history of the band and their evolution with their increase substance use into Jefferson Starship. Wrote White rabbit which is the first one of the first pro drug songs

Boston by Boston
Aug 14 2025

Overall, surprisingly like this album much better than I thought I would. Categorized as arena rock, most popular song is more than a feeling, though I enjoyed a lot of the other songs more. Guitar electric guitar has a lot more punch and structure overall more melodic and major key riffs, much more digestible in a lot of ways then psychedelic Rock of the surrealistic pillows in Jefferson airplane. Surprisingly there are songs that I would return to outside of this listening exercise. Peace of mind specifically and maybe let me take you home tonight.

Hotel California by Eagles
Aug 15 2025

First time listening through this album. Made impressions were a clear lead vocal, simple clean instrumentation, with the very memorable hooks along with good storytelling throughout most of the songs. At times instrumentation felt thin, though I'm not used to listening to a lot of music from this period. Lots of songs saved for later listening, most notably wasted time, New kid in town, and lost resort. Favorite song was try and love again.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Aug 18 2025

A nice easy breezy listen. Smooth, controlled sax, wonderfully played all around.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 19 2025

Well mixed, overall a pleasant listen that wasn't for me (yet at least). Loved the build on all you nasties, I'm a sucker for a good choir part.

With much regret, one of the first albums I could not wait to be over. Instrumentally forgettable, did not find the lyricism of the songs to be much to write home about either. It's a me problem, but I absolutely did not enjoy this listen through. Maybe some other time

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Aug 21 2025

4+, immediately digestible, though still quite novel for me

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Aug 22 2025

Two equally strong impressions. Sharma is aaster of his instrument, and I have no strong desire to continue listening to this music at this point

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Aug 28 2025

Aggressively up my alley. House had a baby with psychedelic rock and I will raise it as my own

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Aug 29 2025

I can't deny that they have influenced LCD Soundsystem, rem, and countless others, but I also can't deny that this album dragged for me. Lacks the oomph that I've been spoiled with from the bands that have succeeded them. For me, right now, this incapsulates a band that walked so others could run.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 04 2025

Janis joplin is crunchy peanut butter in a land of smooth. Creo baby and half morning were both favoritos and showed her range. Unexpected fun

Sep 05 2025

Definitely some great songs, could not overcome the impression of a singing ghost jangling keys... highlights were electric feel and kids

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 08 2025

Some on the nose lyrics felt a little hokey/corny, but overall amazingly mixed album

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Sep 09 2025

Thought this album would be more promising after a strong start with I looked away, but found it difficult to connect with the rest of the way through. Still a good listen, one I wouldn't have touched outside of the project and that's a win in my book

Sep 10 2025

Better than I thought it would be for a techno album, still not my cup of tea. There were parts of each song that I found genuinely pleasant though.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Sep 11 2025

Stale after new York New york

1984 by Van Halen
Sep 15 2025

A little too instrumental for my taste. Absolutely loved hearing Jump though

Sep 18 2025

Unfortunately one of my least favorite albums of this project. Few songs had the nice progression of themes that I'm used to in more housey songs. Not for me

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Sep 22 2025

Fun, felt like being in a am Disney museum

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Sep 25 2025

Super fun, wonky album that has enough structure to make it enjoyable. I'm not overthinking it: it's a 5

Among The Living by Anthrax
Sep 26 2025

I am neither misunderstood or angry enough to connect with this album, though I am happy I have been exposed to thrash. Historically seems quite interesting, but not an album I enjoyed listening to

Garbage by Garbage
Sep 29 2025

A little grungey angsty, achy vocals, with enough of a pop flair to make it more accessible to the uninitiated like me

Back In Black by AC/DC
Sep 30 2025

Listening to the grating vocals of ACDC gives me the same vicarious pain as watching an overly sun exposed senior using a tanning bed. That being said, an album and a band that is unapologetically themselves. Driving percussion and a trundling electric guitar push through the entirety of the album faithfully though it grew a little tiresome by the third song.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Oct 01 2025

Neil's chroming baritone was a welcome reprieve from ACDC yesterday, nothing to write home about for me. Favorites: everybody's talking, that's the bag I'm in

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Oct 02 2025

Gratuitous, on the nose, but overall a very interesting album.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 03 2025

Underwater ASMR + singing ghost + middle schooler that was always laying down a beat in the back of class with a ruler and a mechanical pencil

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Oct 15 2025

More of a fan of his lower register. Not my favorite album, but a fine listen

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Oct 16 2025

Conceptually interesting but I would say otherwise not my favourite listen

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Oct 17 2025

Floaty, folky, dragged at points but overall pleasant

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 21 2025

Masterful electric guitar, my enjoyment of which was limited by my general ambivalence toward long guitar riffs. This is something that deserves a couple more listens though...

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Oct 23 2025

Better than I thought and worth another listen. Gritty, interesting and always fun.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Oct 24 2025

Ledges was my favorite overall a nice listen

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 11 2025

Loved Carrie, and very happy to get some Joni Mitchell, definitely a unique sound. I think one that will take some time to get in the flow of but that I'll like better with repeated listens

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 13 2025
