Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

5/5

Love the pixies. classic punk and rock and from my home town. they have a roughness that's hard to emulate since any attempts at imitation become your own voice.

Blackstar

David Bowie

5/5

Damn, it's blackstar. It came out right before his death and he's singing on his literal death bed. While I disagree with folks in that Bowie is more of an acquired taste than most, I consider this an incredible swan song of his work. Exceptionally approuchable as an album in a way more of his work is now

Pretenders

5/5

Some of the British invasion with some of the clearest sounds. Their first album was one of the best, though I did listen to the remaster from 2018. And the demos. It's hard to tell how much of this is me purely enjoying it, or how it felt like putting on comfy old slippers and sitting in a well loved couch to relax

Raw Power

The Stooges

5/5

The stooges, with Iggy pops crooning vocals. Hot damn. There's an incredible energy and old-school rock down. Overdrive, minor reverb, equipment that's fuzzy and a bit shitty but by god all of that has not become the appeal and the charm.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

A wild ride. I've never actually listened to the whole thing all the way through, only ever catching the singles. Insane how much of a legacy this album and culture and era has, even today. I was tripping when I saw that it was making shawty and timbs jokes, and honestly disheartened at how a good day in the man's life was one without violence. Is it good musically? It's less than the some of its parts. Is it good as art? It's sublime. It's raising the bar for what I SHOULD call a 5 star.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

Just never really got into the man. I love every individual part, from the voice to the guitar to the basslines, but together it just slides off my noggin

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

Definitely an album. While I love it and see how every coffeeshop musician adores it, not my fav

Foo Fighters

3/5

I love thr ray gun but something about the Foo Fighters always felt off. For every learn to fly there's an album I don't like. The Alt Rock version of Guns n Roses

Electric Prunes

2/5

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

I mean it's abba. THE Abba. That said, it's wild how little the album actually comes together. I don't know if the banger single after single is a product of time, or intentionality, but it's fascinating to see.
