Low by David Bowie
Sep 25 2025
Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Oct 02 2025

Jaco still the goat.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Oct 03 2025

Some neat instrumentation and harmonies. Just not for me.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 07 2025

I can appreciate it and why it’s great. It’s just not my genre.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Oct 08 2025

Hard to argue against this one, even if it’s still not my genre of choice.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Oct 11 2025

Oops almost all bangers.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 12 2025

Maggot Brain alone makes this a 4.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 21 2025
Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 27 2025
Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Oct 29 2025

Some cool Kraftwerk-y sounding stuff, but other than that it was kind of forgettable.

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 30 2025
So by Peter Gabriel
Nov 04 2025
Roots by Sepultura
Nov 20 2025
Blackstar by David Bowie
Nov 25 2025

Straight walk off

Tical by Method Man
Nov 27 2025

Straight walk off

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 02 2025

It’s nice that the 10 minutes of reggae I can listen to at any one time included Lively Up Yourself and No Woman, No Cry

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Dec 07 2025
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Dec 27 2025
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Dec 31 2025

Shleep often shlaps. Very positive 3-stars.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 02 2026
Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 03 2026
The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jan 06 2026

Turns out most vocal jazz is still very much not my thing.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 12 2026

NICK CAVE RULES

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jan 13 2026

Hard to give an album with Layla and an incredible arrangement (though not as good as the original) of Little Wing less than 4 stars.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 14 2026

Enjoyed this one way more than I thought I would. Solid.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jan 15 2026

Who would have thought the songs co-written by Billy Corgan would be the best? Me. I would think that.

Be by Common
Jan 22 2026
Green by R.E.M.
Jan 27 2026
Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jan 29 2026

Some cool Bossa Nova I’ve never heard before

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 31 2026

This only gets a 3 because the instrumentals are pretty cool.

Quiet Life by Japan
Feb 04 2026

Some cool stuff, but mostly forgettable. Wish we could get half stars. 2 feels too punitive, 3 feels too much. Oh well

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Feb 05 2026

Not my favorite Afghan Whigs album. But solid.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Feb 06 2026

It’s insane to me that we’re going to get two Verve albums over a host of other albums. A Northern Soul is just a mediocrer Oasis. At least Urban Hymns rules and we’ll get that at some point.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 10 2026

Riders on the Storm will never be enough to get me to enjoy anything else by The Doors.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Feb 12 2026

I mean. There was some cool stuff, but really just sounds like generic 70s brit-punk.

21 by Adele
Feb 23 2026
Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Feb 24 2026

One of my personal favorite albums of all time. More stars than songs, baby.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 05 2026

Oasis famously compared themselves to the Beatles. In a sense they were right; they are the Beatles of musical mediocrity. Live Forever feels so long it Definitely Maybe makes Germany’s 600 year performance of 4’33 seem short.

Play by Moby
Mar 06 2026

Stomped by Obie.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 10 2026

Many bangers.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 14 2026

Either it’s 5 stars Or it’s 5 stars. RIP.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 17 2026

Surprisingly modern sounding for a pop album from the 70s. Fun.

American Idiot by Green Day
Mar 24 2026

Didn’t like it then. Don’t like it now. (Sorry Elliot)

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 25 2026

Stir It Up isn’t enough of a Redemption Song to get me to enjoy Reggae for more than 6 minutes at a time.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 26 2026
Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 28 2026
Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Apr 13 2026

Knowing how good at least two of their other albums are, 3 stars. Still great.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Apr 21 2026

The album art is incredible.

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 24 2026

I mean, it definitely sounds Australian whatever that means.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Apr 25 2026

It’s Ella so it’s great. But it’s also a lot of Ella. 3 stars.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 28 2026

I enjoyed this far more than I anticipated

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 30 2026

Heart of Gold is so good. But Neil Young is so boring.

Smash by The Offspring
May 05 2026

Better than Green Day

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
May 06 2026

I guess I’m okay with the fact that I really just don’t like The Rolling Stones

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 07 2026
Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 28 2026
Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
May 30 2026

Not Foos best. But great. Weenie Beenie still slaps.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jun 02 2026
The Clash by The Clash
Jun 04 2026

Just doesn’t do it for me.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jun 06 2026
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jun 17 2026
Closer by Joy Division
Jun 21 2026

Unknown Pleasures is so much better than this it’s insane.

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 22 2026
Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jun 26 2026

Hysteria better.

Blur by Blur
Jun 27 2026
Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 03 2026
Guero by Beck
Jul 09 2026
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 11 2026
Third by Portishead
Jul 12 2026
Cross by Justice
Jul 13 2026
Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 17 2026

Meh. I get why people love Jack White. I think he’s kind of overrated.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jul 23 2026

Stan Getz is always good

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 28 2026

There’s better generic mid-00s indie rock tbh
