Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Aug 22 2025

Crazy experimental apocalyptic album with lots of interesting sound bites. Pretty weird honestly but wasn’t a bad listen through, as lots of the songs had unexpected variations that pulled from other genres. Sometimes the songs felt they had some folk, blues, rock, or were even like a ballad. Lots of old school folk inspiration. Wasn’t a huge fan but was interesting. Very raw.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 25 2025

Quite enjoyable, very good guitar playing and some fun tunes.

Play by Moby
Aug 26 2025

Very well diversified. I like how the album changed pace at the end and took on a slower tempo with some neat instrumentals. Good workflow jam

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 27 2025

Classic from Bob Marley. Some of the best reggae out there of course, and you have to give credit for the context of the album (revolution). Exodus has some of Marley’s best bangers though so this can’t reach 5 stars.

Aug 28 2025

Some good Irish jigs. Fun album but not much stood out to me. Had some slower songs to change the feel. Can’t say I’d go back to really listen to much of them but it was a good change of pace for a different genre to listen to. Overall, it’s mid and about a 2.5 star.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Aug 29 2025

Good album, pushes the boundaries on rock. Was surprisingly well done and I enjoyed the alt/progressive take that it uses to push boundaries.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Sep 01 2025

Classic Sinatra. Not really many of the crazy hit classics though. Talks about love a lot.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Sep 02 2025

Loved this album. The bassist is phenomenal and the drummer brings personality to drive the songs with interesting fills and beats. Great pianist with some upbeat / chill tunes. Enjoyed this with a warm apple tea at work during one of the first days of the fall season while it rained outside in NYC. Absolutely beautiful album.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Sep 03 2025

It was alright. Just a chill album but wouldn’t listen again. Kind of just wanted to get through it. Laid back bossa nova.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Sep 04 2025

Good jazz album and great for the fall season. Hard to compare this to the Bill Evans trio album that came before this in the queue. Monk is legendary.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Sep 05 2025

Sweet album. Sweet classics like Sweet Emotion. Many repeatable songs.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 08 2025

GOAT rapper with old school Kanye and GOAT album. Did a project on this album that was divided per song amongst the class in high school. Speaks a lot on systemic discrimination and racism. Very powerful album with lots of varied musicality. Second to none lyricism from Kendrick. Absolute must listen.

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 09 2025

Pretty insane electronic album, not going to lie. It had a lot of songs I’ve listened to and recognized. Think it was really pushing the boundaries when it was released. Good alternative to Daft Punk, which is one of my favorite electronic artists. Vibes are good and beats are creative.

Signing Off by UB40
Sep 10 2025

If you’re really looking for reggae, I guess this could be a good album. Very chill the whole time and got pretty repetitive. Nothing memorable.

Sep 11 2025

Very good album. Lots of variety with an orchestra. Sick drum and guitar solos. Both are very good. Loved the fills from the drummer.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Sep 12 2025

Like Bob Dylan… but American. They’re both American! And he’s also not as good. Pretty boring album.

Sep 15 2025

One of the greatest albums of all time. Banger after banger. Classic rock with the classic Queen twist and orchestra. Freddie mercury is amazing.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Sep 16 2025

Great album. Evolves throughout and love the banger flute solos. Very much your British classic rock, and the flute is a great spin. Fun listen. Might put some more time into this band.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 17 2025

Very good Bruce Springsteen album. Lots of Americana. Born in the USA is better though.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Sep 18 2025

Was a guy rambling some stories while whispering with some basic chords and instrumentals mostly through it. Guess there were some catchy parts but none of it was memorable.
