Black Monk Time by The Monks

Is it just me or is this kinda proto-punk?

All Ratings (20)

Repeater by Fugazi
Aug 25 2025

Holy shit the opening hits so hard, but it was brought down by the vocals. I knew the Fugazi singles but hadn’t listened to this album before. The vocals did grow on me over the course of the album. It got a little repetitive sounds but this is definitely a heavy hitter. I bet these shows for this tour were incredible. I’m really glad I listened.

Moon Safari by Air
Aug 26 2025

Really digging this album. I’d listened to it before, but with fresh ears I’m appreciating it more. It feels dated, but like it’s from the 2008, not 1998. Great album for starting work on a sunny Monday morning in my cozy office with a fresh cup of tea.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 27 2025

I can absolutely see shades of this album in current surf/garage artists. I like it but probably won’t be revisiting it a ton.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Aug 28 2025

I can absolutely see shades of this album in current surf/garage artists. I like it but probably won’t be revisiting it a ton.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 29 2025

I grew up with this album. My dad had it on cassette and I first heard it in the car to and from preschool. It’s always existed to me the way grass and trees have always existed. I’ve loved it the whole time. That being said there are moments that don’t hit quite as hard these days and some that I’m fully not so into (Little Miss Lover is the only song I skip). Still my favorite Hendrix album and one of my favorite albums ever. It will always have a special place for me.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 01 2025

This is another album I grew up with. I haven’t revisited it a ton. Opening track fucking hits as do several others. Really rocking album,

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Sep 03 2025

I liked it. Listened on the bus ride to the doctor’s office and got introspective.

Sep 04 2025

I liked parts of this but overall it didn’t draw me in at all. Just reminds me of boomer Parquet Courts, but like the worst of them, not really the parts I like.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Sep 05 2025

Omg Kurt! I love his solo stuff but had never really listened to WoD. I loved it!

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Sep 08 2025

Classic album that I’ve never been able to get that into. I always love LCD in small portions, but a whole album gets monotonous to me.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 10 2025

Willie! I hadn’t heard this album before. Really liked it. Total country crooner, slowed down vibes. It really hit for me today.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Sep 11 2025

Is it just me or is this kinda proto-punk?

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Sep 12 2025

First time listen! As someone who has a strong appreciation for 70s rock, I was expecting to really like this album. The actual impression was mediocre though. I kept making me want to listen to T-Rex instead.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Sep 15 2025

Another foundational album from my childhood (my dad had the tape in his car.) Super good despite the misogyny.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Sep 16 2025

I thought this was going to be a straight up Beatles knockoff, but it has a pretty unique sound once you dig in. Things did feel repetitive towards the back end though. Over all I liked but didn’t love this one.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Sep 17 2025

I loved this album! I’ve tried to give Fiona Apple a shot in the past and her music never quite managed to draw me in. This listen through of Tidal hit just right though. Her voice is incredible, the lyricism is fantastic, and I love the weird blend of influences and sounds which includes everything from jazz to grunge to show tunes. This is an album I’ll be returning to pretty frequently!

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Sep 23 2025

I recognize that this is good, but the piercing trumpet just wasn’t chill to me. Maybe chill wasn’t the point of this album. If I was more of a jazz fan I’d probably like this one a lot more.
