Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

Boring l, mysoginist crap

American Gothic by David Ackles

Kinda a weird album for 1972, in some ways feels more 50s- show tunes meets Pete Seeger kinda story telling. It’s a shame as on paper it’s the sort of thing I should like but it’s rubbing me up the wrong way.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Sep 16 2025

Yeah, I liked that. It was very 60s but very gentle and nice, reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel. I dunno if I would listen to much more of them but it was a nice album. "Helplessly Hoping" I liked and it reminded me of the Byrds a bit (not too sure why) and then I looked it up and of course Crosby was in the Byrds. Songs I knew: Everybody's Talking

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Sep 17 2025

I dunno, I didn't find this offensive but also not all that interesting. Quite twee and I felt unremarkable I doubt I would remember any particular songs from this. The piano was nice.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Sep 18 2025

I quite liked this. It was pretty fun. Not the most interesting, a lot of the songs sounded quite samey. I liked the first few tracks but it got a little dull as the album went on.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 19 2025

This evokes a fair amount of nostalgia- this album was big when I first went to uni in Summer 2005. While I never listed to the album myself it was impossible to escape many of these songs at the time and a lot of my friends from school were really into FF. I do like the sound overall, many of the tracks have an exciting driving tempo to the guitar. The production seems a bit thin- I dunno what I really mean by that and not sure I could describe it but just a feeling I get that there's a lack of some depth.

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 22 2025

Really liked this. Would listen to again and her other stuff. Last track reminded me of Kate Bush a bit.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Sep 26 2025

Fucking load of shite

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 27 2025

Nice to hear some of MJs less well known songs. I enjoyed PYT and the paul mc cartney duet along with all of the bangers.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 30 2025

I quite enjoyed it. Not amazing but would probably listen to again

With The Beatles by Beatles
Oct 07 2025

Bit hit and miss. Mostly bangers but a number of weaker songs bring it down a bit. Love this era of the Beatles but this album I don't think shows off their best work

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Oct 10 2025

Boring l, mysoginist crap

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 11 2025

Pop punk nostalgia! Love it. Great base and drums

Signing Off by UB40

Autumn days are not built for Reggae.

Ten by Pearl Jam

Pretty middle of the road, fun but a touch dull
