Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins

This was a real rough. It’s pretty ballsy to start a double album with a meandering piano instrumental that goes nowhere. The singer seems unable to convey emotion or even slightly change, tone or rhythm in a song. It’s very well produced, but ultimately it feels like music without any emotion connected to it. Rough stuff

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Sep 06 2025

Really just the one song that I knew and the Cure tribute were good listens. Good riffs but not really memorable songs. Just makes you wish you were listening to the music this is referencing. Prefer Wolfmother to this.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Sep 07 2025

Pretty fun all around. Really enjoyed it will listen again. Love how they just fucking go do it all the time with no let up.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Sep 08 2025

Ahh first two songs are good but man lots of it is Morrison droning on while basic blues vamps take place around him. Also at least twice they just stop the song and do rag time randomly. There are better doors albums.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Sep 09 2025

Great great great. Listened to it twice. They really go for it full stop. Not an everyday listen but when you are in the mood this will hit.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 10 2025

Banger after banger. There is a reason I asked for the box set for Christmas. Yea they stole a bunch of blues stuff but at least that added their own thing. What a treat.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 12 2025

Beautiful wonderful stuff through and through. Carries a lot of feelings and just wonderful grooves. A real treat after Mellancollie and the infinite sadness.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Sep 14 2025

This was a great surprise. Stellar example of people just making music by themselves wholly their own. Reeks of being made in a house in a liberal arts college town. Not a bad thing.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Sep 15 2025

Great album very unique connection between band and audience. Guitar playing is understated but bombastic at the same time. Came away with the feeling I’ve underrated him as a guitarist a lot. He’s doing so much but playing so little at points it jarring.

Sep 16 2025

I mean I bought it day of release and listened to it almost non stop the whole year. Two musical genius es allowed to flex so their creative muscle. There will never be another hip hop album like it.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 17 2025

Just a pure heartbreaker through and through. Love, regret, self loathing, hope, redemption, failure, sadness it’s all here in a surprising package.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Sep 18 2025

Not good all the worst tropes of singer songwriter cali folk sound. Cringe lyrics. Thought there would be a gem or two among considering the esteem but blarg not good boring even.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Sep 19 2025

Ugh disinterested singer boring music not fun.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 20 2025

Musically really nice all the songs are interesting and never boring lots of exploration of blues and old timey jazz. But over all to mush of a downer to listen to in long spurts

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Sep 21 2025

Wow this was an absolute revelation. Just kept getting better and better as the album went on. Close your eyes tilt your head and you can almost imagine the best traveling musician s you ever heard have stopped for the night in your small hamlet and change your life.

Pump by Aerosmith
Sep 22 2025

Petty mediocre expression of corporate rock only saved from 2 stars by a couple songs and the skill of the band otherwise blah.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Sep 23 2025

Great great sleazy blues rock here. They seem to be taking the piss during some of the country blues numbers so three stars instead of four but the standouts are cream of the crop.

Is This It by The Strokes
Sep 24 2025

I was living in Brooklyn when this dropped. More of a white stripes guy myself. Lots of good memories though if this album every where. Pretty one note though.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 21 2026

This was pretty mediocre actually surprised it made the list. 2 1/2 good songs maybe. Adam raised Caine is a straight groaner. He has better songs in his repertoire that express the exact same things. Pretty one note slow and half baked retread ideas.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jan 22 2026

Solid Punk rock nothing extraordinary but a good listen.
