Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

2/5

All the songs on here can be in an indie coming of age movie. The album would be much better without the vocals. Favorite song: Temptation of Egg

Green

R.E.M.

4/5

The album was a pleasure to listen to from start to finish. Favorite song: Stand, Orange Crush, Pop Song 89

Low

David Bowie

4/5

A lot of instrumental tracks that feel epic. I enjoyed all. Favorite songs: Speed of Life, Sound and Vision, Warszawa.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

After listening to the album three times, they all started to sound the same. Master of Puppets is the obvious stand out in the album. Favorite songs: Master of Puppets, The Thing That Should Not Be

The Doors

4/5

I love the sound of the synthesizer used in this album. Favorite song: The Crystal Ship, Light My Fire

Imagine

John Lennon

4/5

I wasn’t that excited to listen to this album since I’m not a big Beatles fan but I actually enjoyed this listen. Favorite song: Imagine, Oh My Love, Oh Yoko!

Achtung Baby

1/5

Quintessential dad rock. Pretty boring. Good background music when you’re preoccupied in the garage doing things with your tools and such. Favorite song: n/a

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

I can see why the ladies went crazy over him. He has a ton of albums, I hope more of them pop up on this list. Favorite song: The Girl of My Best Friend

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

I feel like I’m in a 90s underground local nightclub. Enjoy the Silence stays stuck in my head; didn't know they let us enjoy the silence for a couple minutes. Favorite songs: Enjoy the Silence, Policy of Truth

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

This album was a great listen. I didn’t know this group was the one who sang Everyday People. The instrumental tracks were all good. I would definitely buy this vinyl. Favorite songs: Don’t Call Me Nigger, Whitey, Everyday People, Sex Machine, Soul Clappin II

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

4/5

Second Elvis album. Kind of like the previous album (Elvis is Back). Favorite songs: In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, Don’t Cry Daddy

Woodface

Crowded House

2/5

Very 90s soft rock. I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart from other bands. I did enjoy a couple songs. Favorite songs: Fall At Your Feet, As Sure As I Am

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

3/5

After hearing the first song I immediately thought this was going to be another Giant Sand sounding indie band. I enjoyed the album and found myself singing along to a couple songs. Favorite songs: My Friend, Faith/Void

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

1st album that I’ve already listened to on this list! Still don’t really understand Billy Joe much. Not my favorite Green Day album but it did give us bangers like Basket Case and When I Come Around. Favorite songs: Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

Fairly boring album. The first few tracks seem like an intro to the last half if that makes sense. 80s cyberpunk movie vibes. Favorite songs: A Forest, Seventeen Seconds

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

1/5

Loud noise, the band. Favorite song: n/a

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

A nice chill album. Definitely gonna pick this one up in vinyl at some point. Sick Iron Man cover too. Favorite songs: Lovefool, Iron Man, Great Divide

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

3/5

Reminds me a lot of Amyl and the Sniffers. Favorite songs: Deus, F***ing in Rhythm and Sorrow

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Nevrmind but I liked this album much better. Still the same grungy formula but toned down a bit in a good way. Favorite songs: Heart-Shaped Box, Rape Me, Dumb, Pennyroyal Tea, All Apologies

Fragile

Yes

5/5

After hearing the first guitar note, I immediately thought JoJo. Then I heard the bass and my mind was blown. This album is getting added to Discogs. The whole album is very vibe-y and I love it. Favorite songs: Roundabout, Mood For a Day, Heart of the Sunrise

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

I’ve always enjoyed reggae as background music and I think I’d like to keep it that way. It’s just great music to chill to with friends. Favorite songs: No Woman No Cry, Lively Up Yourself

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

3/5

Second R.E.M. album on this list. This one seemed more mellow than the previous album I listened to. Didn’t know the mean tweets theme was on this album. Favorite songs: Everybody Hurts, Man On the Moon

Let's Get It On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

The whole album is literally all baby making music and there’s only one appropriate time to listen to this. Favorite song: n/a

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

5/5

I’m amazed at the music that this duo produces. The songs are all rock yet they don’t all sound the same. Great album. Favorite songs: The Nurse, My Doorbell, Little Ghost, The Denial Twist, Passive Manipulation, As Ugly As I Seem

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

Indie band with strings. Favorite songs: Crown of Love, Rebellion (Lies), In the Backseat

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

2/5

This would probably be great live in a coffee shop. Kinda boring in the car. Favorite song: n/a

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

2/5

Post battle victory at a tavern. Would be a fun album if I knew the lyrics to all songs. Favorite song: n/a

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

2/5

Reminds me of old cartoons/Disney movies. All the songs kind of blended into one. Nothing really stood out to me. Favorite song: n/a

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

If you told me this came out in the 80s, I’d believe you. Favorite song: The Stars (Are Out Tonight), Valentine’s Day, How Does The Grass Grow?

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Never listened to the album in full before but it did give the world all the classics. Favorite songs: Around the World, Scar Tissue, Otherside, Californication, Easily

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

Classic radio jazz. Something I’d put on to fall asleep to with all the instrumental breaks and haunting voices. Favorite songs: Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World

Snivilisation

Orbital

2/5

This was a breath of fresh air. Something actually different. Unfortunately they lost me after the first track. Favorite songs: Forever, Kein Trink Wasser

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

I don’t think I like harmonicas really. Kinda hurts my ears in some of the songs. Favorite song: Blowin’ in the Wind

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

This album wasn’t bad but I wasn’t rocking out either. The harmonica wasn’t annoying in this compared to the Bob Dylan album. Favorite songs: Good Golly Miss Molly, Proud Mary

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

I didn’t think I knew any songs on this album until Moondance. It’s the song I hear at work all the time. Favorite songs: Moondance, Crazy Love

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Second The White Stripes album on this list and it’s the one that gave us the world’s national chant in sports, Seven Nation Army. Favorite songs: Seven Nation Army, I Just Don’t Know What To Do With Myself, In The Cold, Cold Night, The Hardest Button To Button, It’s True That We Love One Another

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

Has that very early punk sound with the quick drum beats. Enjoyable. Favorite song: Future and Pasts

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

4/5

From the first sound on the first track I already knew how this album was gonna be and it didn’t disappoint. I don’t know why I thought dance music has evolved already in 1999 but this album sounds more late 80s/early 90s. Favorite songs: Music Makes You Lose Control, About Funk

The Stone Roses

3/5

70/80s soft rock. Easy listening. Favorite songs: She Bangs the Drums, Made of Stone

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

I just watched Sinners this month and all I was imagining was the night club. Loved hearing the crowd interacting with B. B. King. Favorite song: n/a

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

This group was recommended to me by a coworker because I was looking to get into jazz. This is definitely a vinyl purchase in the future. Favorite songs: Blue Rondo à la Turk, Take Five

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

4/5

Chill album, great listen. Favorite songs: Too Young to Die, Music of the Mind
