Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

First time listening. I'm very glad for this opportunity. It's crazy, it's too good! You start with Walk On By, the intro plays. And I had to stop, go back, listen again. And stop. I gave the headphones to my partner. “Listen to this intro here." I had to share it with her. Finally, back to the beginning to listen again. Second track. The piano, the beat. It doesn't stop being awesome. The tracks are very long, but you don't notice the time passing. Every second is enjoyable. One Woman is quieter. Absolutely beautiful. This is not the kind of music you listen to a song, and jump to another like a tiktok video. This one you put your phones on, sit down or lay down, ignore the time, ignore your problems, and enjoy the beat!

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 24 2025

Tiny Dancer is a good and known track to me, put I didn't remembered. Full albus is very good. I've probably listened to it already when I was getting ready for Elton's show in Rock in Rio (2015?). Holiday Inn is also very awesome!

1984 by Van Halen
Aug 25 2025

I was never actually a very big fan of Van Halen, but for some reason, some of their songs were "Deja vu-ing" in my head. This was a very good opportunity to listen to this album carefully. This is awesome! Even in Jump, I didn’t quite like the synthesizers, but listening to it now, it sounds very well balanced. Hot for Teacher is a wonderful guitar play!

Synchronicity by The Police
Aug 26 2025

It's OK. Not memorable, has good moments. But, overall, its meh. The Police has done better. Sting has done better.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 29 2025

It's Bowie. It's awesome! Not much to say. I'v listened to this album many times before, but didn't think much about the instrumental tracks. Very cool.

The Score by Fugees
Aug 30 2025

Ok. I didn't know, but I grew up with Fugees, and this album, many of these songs were playing when I was a teenager, in dancehalls, at parties. So, listening to the album, I thought it was about remembering my past, I thought I knew about Fugees, but listening to this album now, in 2025, I've come to realize it is bigger than that. This is a masterpiece. It represents the 90's but also many things that were happening around the Americas, in Brazilian suburbs. It's strong, powerful. It's a very important part of my life and about the place I was born.

Third by Portishead
Aug 31 2025

I used to listen to Dummy because of Glory Box. It was a specific moment in my life, right when I started my gender transition. The depressing vibe of Portishead connected deeply with what I was going through then. From there, I didn’t listen to much else. The first words on Third are surprisingly in Portuguese. It’s fucking depressing, but that’s Portishead. Their music is wonderfully depressing: deep, haunting, and absolutely awesome.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Sep 04 2025

Ok. Average.

Tapestry by Carole King
Sep 07 2025

It's the kind of artist I knew about but never stopped to listen to. Some songs I recognize, but everything sounds wonderful. It's an awesome album, from the first to the last track.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Sep 08 2025

It's OK, a good musician doing weird music.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Sep 10 2025

Not my vibe.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Sep 11 2025

I didn't expect what I just listened to. I knew one or two Jane's Addiction songs, kind of alternative from the '90s, but this album is the other way around. It is very heavy, more like hard rock, very well produced, with awesome songs. From the first to the last track, everything is worthwhile.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 12 2025

I enjoy Radiohead, but I don't think I’ve ever listened to more than a few of their albums. This one is spectacular. Well, actually two: In Rainbows and In Rainbows Disk 2. It was so good that I added the second to my list, but it finished too quickly. Jigsaw Falling Into Place is my favorite!

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 20 2025

I think I never actually really liked reggae, but this is Bob Marley. This is beyond good. This is fabulous. I completely enjoy this.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 21 2025

No, I don't like RHCP. But since it's here, let's listen! Breaking the Girl is actually a pretty good song. OK. 3 stars. The band is kind of "meh," but this album is OK. Then I realized I was singing Suck My Kiss really loud. Yeah, it has some good songs, but it's Red Hot Chili Peppers. I never actually liked them. Oh no, Give It Away... I hate this song! But I love Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Oh, now I'm singing and banging along to Under the Bridge. Hey, Apache Rose Peacock is really good too! OK, OK. 4 stars!

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Sep 22 2025

It deserves. Too much information in a few tracks: the guitar, the beat, the lyrics. Some are outside of this world, but this is Jorge Ben's mark. Zumbi, Chica da Silva, two iconics figures related with black resistance, Brazilian history and his songs made then even more iconics. Too much beauty for just one album!

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 23 2025

It's REM. It's good. Enjoyable. Not the best. Just good enough.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 27 2025

I tried, but there is no way for me to like this.

Achtung Baby by U2
Sep 28 2025

Too much nostalgia in this album. Many amazing songs. I've listened to the Deluxe version. Even the remixes are good. Still not their best but still wonderful.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Sep 29 2025

I didn't knew this band. They have a good vibe.

Sep 30 2025

I was feeling a bit guilty for giving 3 stars to albums that are quite good, but not GOOD. GOOD ones are the ones I want to listen to quite often. But then, when I put something like Bob Dylan's Freewheelin’ on, I feel good, because I know this is what EXTRAORDINARY music sounds like. These are the ones I reserve for 5 stars.

Who's Next by The Who
Oct 01 2025

This is why I am here for! I knew many o these songs, didn't knew enough. For me The Who was just "meh", but this is gold.

Cross by Justice
Oct 03 2025

This is why I'm using this album generator: to find things I would not listen or look for by myself. This is very different but it's good.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 04 2025

Unexpected. Incredible good. I enjoyed from the first to the last song.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Oct 09 2025

First time listening to X-Ray Spex, and I love it! Very good, simple, raw, and even better: a female-fronted group. Very vocal, very political. They don’t have many albums, which is sad, but it’s probably one of those discoveries that will become part of my regular listening.
