The White Room by The KLF
Aug 12 2025

Fun to listen to, the strength of the album is very front-loaded, tough. I found myself less interested in the latter third-or-half compared to the beginning.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Aug 16 2025

Not exactly the heaviest of metal, but still pretty good.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Aug 18 2025

A clear picture of what the 90s would sound like. Unfortunately it just didn't get me terribly interested to hear more.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Aug 20 2025

"Oh we got both kinds: country *and* western!"

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Aug 21 2025

Clearly talented jazz group, but chill enough to put me to sleep. I prefer the jazz that gets your blood pumping Not bad for a sleepy, rainy night in, though.

Signing Off by UB40
Aug 22 2025

Quality reggae, the album loses some oomph in the latter half, but a nice listen regardless

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 23 2025

I never thought of myself as much of a Cream fan, but this album is fantastic.

Boston by Boston
Aug 24 2025

Turns out I like Boston more than I thought. Definite ties to the jam bands of the late 60s and early 70s, but also you can see how they connect to the big arena rock of the 80s. Like most of these albums, the later tracks on the B side are just okay.

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 25 2025

I love DnB and I know Goldie is so influential, but having experienced so much since that era that's much more interesting, I can't rate this very high. The album just gets boring as it goes on, never really keeps me engaged.

This is the exact kind of chaotic jazz I have always hated. Maybe they have something to say, maybe it's a different experience for them playing it. But for me it's unpleasant noise that would best be played if you were trying to get me to divulge state secrets.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Aug 29 2025

Miles is extremely talented but oh my god does this kind of music grate very quickly. I have never understood the appeal.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 30 2025

Some fun bits, but nothing that really perked up my ears. I like Wings alright, but I don't think I'd listen to this album on my own.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Aug 31 2025

I knew Tom Waits was gravely, but holy moly. He's pretty fun, I actually think Modest Mouse got a lot of their style from him. I may explore more of his music after this.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Sep 03 2025

I realize I've never gone out of my way to listen to Elvis. He's fine I guess.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Sep 06 2025

I like DnB and this is some pretty chill stuff. Not bad to have on, but my socks remain unblownoff.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Sep 08 2025
Very by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 16 2025
Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 09 2026

Well, I hated this.
