The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan · 1 likes

3/5

I found myself distracted while listening. It was fine but nothing really stood out to me. A lot of similarities in the tracks so it was hard to tell them apart. Cover 5/5 weird, well composed,good representation of what to expect.

The College Dropout

4/5

I don't know how to rate this. Makes me sad despite being good.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

2/5

Cover art is great. I agree with Crystin who stated, "Album is a 2/5 but the cover is 4/5." Album is real mid.

Stankonia

OutKast

4/5

Really a 4.5 because I just don't like the track Humble Bumble. I liked the rest though. Cover is like a 2/5 though. Who approved this composition?!

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Clearly unfinished but it got me with the girlfriend in a comma song. Cover art 3/5 but most points are for it being just one person on the front clearly adding to the "this band broke up" vibe.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Still a beautiful album. I sometimes don't connect Cat Stevens with the actual work so I spent a lot of time going, "Oh yeah! I forgot this was a Cat Stevens song too." 4/5 album cover. Love and illustrated cover and someone understood composition!

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Still pretty good. It was the first type of album I'd heard like this from a DJ so has a special place for me. 4/5 cover art.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Still can't believe I've never heard of this guy. Beautiful album. I enjoyed his voice and the instrumentation. Cover 4/5 classy and mood appropriate

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

The artist name and album name are fire. Wish I liked the vocals more but I found myself wanting the songs to end faster. It's totally fine but just not something I'd go back to. Album cover is quite cool! 5/5

The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan

3/5

GREY Area

Little Simz

4/5

First time hearing this one. Just real good. I'll listen again. Cover 5/5 I am a sucker for a good black and white photo.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

4/5

This album is still pretty good but maybe didn't age great. The cover of 10 inch disk was hilarious. Cover: 3/5 it's fine. Didn't really grab me. I listened to this while playing Storage Hunters Simulator demo which was a good fit.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Still really enjoy this album and have it iny library. Ilit isn't too to bottom bangers but I can easily listen to this while album and not skip a song. Cover 4/5 it's good and simple.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

David Bowie still is amazing. Cover 5/5 love the art

Blur

3/5

Pretty mid song wise. I still like Song 2 and enjoyed Strange News From Another Star which I don't know if I had heard before. Very Artic Monkeys vibe going on. Cover: 5/5 good composition and very emo style appropriate for the album.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

This album starts a little weak to me but ends real strong. The longer I listen the more I enjoyed it. Listen to while making a third eye cats. Very appropriate IMO.

Third

Soft Machine

4/5

I really like this! Grooved to it while writing and was surprised when half way through the album there were lyrics. Hilarious lyrics too. Will listen again while writing for sure.

Dire Straits

3/5

I wasn't as familiar than I thought with this album but love some steel guitar.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

Iconic for a reason. I enjoyed this album and it was a fast listen. Listened to while starting City Skylines. It fit smoothly and will enjoy the mental connection to The Temptations and the game.

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

2/5

Will this album ever end? I'm not sure anymore. I recognized a few of these songs as often used in movies to be like "this is mariachi music!" It's a little too repetitive for me and I think I need to accept I just don't like trumpet that much. Cool mallet work in a few songs though!

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

4/5

Really enjoyed this! I would say I'd listen again but the dead air from copy write is kinda annoying. Listened to while making Bubba, the third eye cat with wings.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

1/5

I'm pretty sure the person who mixes this did it in their parents garage. Was pretty bored while listening to it so I think there might be a reason I wasn't familiar with this album. Ended up half hearing it while reading then sat down to listen to it with Garret and started playing on my phone.

The Doors

4/5

I'm surprised so many songs I know by The Doors is from this album. I enjoyed the songs I didn't know too but I will say some aging is showing with Back Door Man as far as meaning goes. Cover: why is one of the members coming out of Morrison's eye?! 2/5

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Really liked it overall! Very iconic voice and the guitar work is amazing. Will listen to this again!

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

3/5

Well, that intro didn't age well. The lyrics have me laughing. Halfsies in a baby? I don't know how I'd react to that question. When every song is an exclusive you can't go wrong. I wish Pussy Don't Fail Me Now was less depressing when you listen to all the lyrics. Missy you don't gotta be depress like that! What a chorus though!

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

5/5

Cheap Trick is a band I forget I like so much. First two songs on this album was meh but everything else was real good. Surrender still comes out as my favorite by them.

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

2/5

This one was alright. I liked a lot of the mixing and instruments used but nothing grabbed me except You Can't Stop the Prophet. It was like a while movie pitch in a song.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

2/5

I like the instrumentation more than I expected but just not a fan of his singing style.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

Listened to this while doing some chores around the house and I was grooving along. Never heard of this but it was great!

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Did I understand any of the lyrics? Absolutely not, but I think that's fine for this album. I feel like it kinda loses its way near the end of it but the songs are enjoyable especially if you just view Bruce's voice as another instrumental element.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

4/5

I see why this is an iconic album. First two tracks didn't grab me but then it really got its footing and took off. Will be looking these peeps up again for me.

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

1/5

I've heard local teen garage bands with better lyrics. This might be the worst album so far for me.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

I don't know how to rate this. Makes me sad despite being good.

The Joshua Tree

2/5

Kinda boring and just not my thing.

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

3/5

I can't remember any of the lyrics, is that a bad sign? I enjoyed the album as background while cleaning. Very Beatles influenced.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

This is a guilty pleasure of mine. I sing these songs to myself often when cleaning. It's fun and dumb!

Throwing Muses

2/5

2112

Rush

3/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

3/5

There are some bangers on this album. Unfortunately there were some cringe songs too. Elton John continues to be a mixed bag for me.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

3/5

This humored me and was fun without knowing the lyrics.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

2/5

I think the drumming is great in this but mostly I feel like I'm listening in on a garage band of very angry teens.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

2/5

This was kinda boring and repetitive with this weird vibe on romantic relationships.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

4/5

I don't think I've actually listened to this album before. I really enjoyed it! The music is complicated and flows well.

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

This is really good music to like cook dinner to I enjoyed it but wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

4/5

I've been on the space journey and it was wonderful, weird, and over the top.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

3/5

This kinda just washed over me. It was fine and I might give it a different listen post sick.

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

I like several The Police songs and yet this album has zero of them?! Kinda all over the place with styles and just not pleasant to listen to.

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

I was familiar with many songs on this one and still enjoyed them! A relief after the police album. Great cover too! Listen to this while playing GW2 so good vibes all around.

Iron Maiden

3/5

A lot softer than I expected, but still is doing well with what it is doing. Feels more like glam rock style than metal.

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

This was fine. I thought I knew who the kinks were but I guess not. Very 60s and kinda generic.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

I bobbed my head to this off and on while writing this morning and it was fine. Can't say it grabbed me but was enjoyrable.
