Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 03 2025

Sounds like Bob Dylan, and this is a Bob Dylan album

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Oct 06 2025

I listened to it and it was ok? I guess? Just makes me feel absolutely nothing. My only standout was Instinct Blues which I didn't quite like that much.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Oct 10 2025

Very impressed! Never heard of this band, and the mix of heavier and softer songs on this album makes for a wide, enjoyable range of music! Will listen to them some more

Leftism by Leftfield
Oct 15 2025

Not really my style... not that bad though

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 16 2025

I knew a couple ones, never got the opportunity to hear this in full, so I appreciated it

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Oct 17 2025

Not bad, I don't know a lot about Neil Young outside of his most known stuff. I kinda like that his signing is quite raw and imperfect, most songs were quite enjoyable, and a good variety

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Oct 20 2025

Didn't know most songs, it was pretty good, enjoyed it overall. Full of energy and strong singing

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 21 2025

It's alright, not being a fan of reggae that much, it has some cool grooves

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Oct 22 2025

Pretty cool! Some restrained songs, some bigger ones, the recording sounds really authentic. Liked it!

Blur by Blur
Oct 23 2025

Ah yes, I remember listening to this after wondering who created Song 2. I still find it pretty striking how it sounds nothing like the rest of the album. This album has quite the variety, seemingly taking inspiration from different artists and styles, which makes it a fun listen. But in the end, I don't *love* this album, or any of the songs that much.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Oct 24 2025

It was.. alright? Good background music to vibe to, kind of like lo-fi. Given the years, I'd think at the time it might have been pretty more interesting.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Oct 27 2025

Not bad, didn't know any song, liked it overall, songs are short and catchy enough

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Oct 28 2025

Fun one! The recording is very nice and makes you feel like you are in the room with them, we hear each player very well and they all play very nicely. Definitely heard some of those melodies before, although I don't know enough about Jazz history to know whether this is the "referred" or the "referrer" :P

Scum by Napalm Death
Oct 29 2025

This album has precisely all the elements I don't like in the Death Metal genre - unintelligible vocals, speed for the sake of it, barely any melody, and to top it off a somewhat mushy mixing. I wanted to find a compliment but didn't find anything to hang to. Oh wait, found one: it could have been a longer album.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Oct 30 2025

Not bad! Very smooth vibes, good bass, super listenable and some fun songs.

25 by Adele
Oct 31 2025

It's alright, nothing really stands out to me

Nov 03 2025

Already listened to it in the past, very good album, a couple of absolute bangers, but the rest is also amazing and I enjoy the whole lot

Nov 04 2025

Quite impressed, I didn't know any track outside of Everybody Hurts and Man On The Moon, but I didn't expect this much variety and range from this album. Definitely will listen it again!

Nov 05 2025

Only knew Holiday in Cambodia and how unhinged and weird it is, I'd say the rest of the album matches the energy and wildness. Enjoyed it overall!

Nov 06 2025

Listening to this while working, and found it annoying with its repetition and even distracting.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Nov 07 2025

Didn't know any outside of the (awesome) title track and Frozen (which is also amazing). The rest is OK, I don't think I'll listen to this one again specifically, but I'm still glad I did.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 10 2025

It has a couple of cool grooves. Made me think of Talking Heads sometimes. Absolutely didn't like "All My Friends", the same background chords for 8min was a bit much. It was alright.

Synchronicity by The Police
Nov 11 2025

I thought I didn't like The Police, mostly because they end their songs with way too much repetition. This album is really cool, it has some very interesting beats, grooves, and some weird and creative arrangements overall. It surprised me and is making me reconsider my position about the band. Will definitely listen to this one again, and will try to listen to their non "mainstream" stuff more since they are very interesting.

All Directions by The Temptations
Nov 12 2025

Pretty fun! Did know any of them, and they have a pretty good range. It's quite short so I listened to it twice and rather enjoyed it!

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Nov 13 2025

Pretty good, quite enjoyed it. A bit frontloaded? I think it starts with a bang but then carries on with alright songs.

Nov 14 2025

I have to say, it does have some cool beats and some cool melodies. But coming in, it's quite hard to listen to without having in mind the artist... I do think it's good, but it's hard to enjoy fully

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 17 2025

IDK, pretty neutral about this one. The songs sound all the same, nothing really stood out. I think it didn't cross the "I like it".

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 18 2025

Very interesting. Only vaguely know them, but really like their vibe and would like to know more. They have interesting rhythm, the signing is cool, cool songs. I found nothing "amazing" though to tip it into the 5 stars space.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Nov 19 2025

Pretty good one! Interesting music, nothing obnoxious or "bad". Enjoyed it!

Black Metal by Venom
Nov 20 2025

Pretty much what I expected from the title. Not really a fan, a little too "in your face" most of the time. They have a couple of cool rifts though, the voice is rough but can still be heard plainly, so that's a plus

Nov 21 2025

The first song didn't convince me at all, so was the second one... and so on. Didn't enjoy this one a bit. It ranges from bad to annoying. The names of the songs are somewhat funny

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Nov 24 2025

Nice surprise! Don't understand a word of it, but it sounded really beautiful and they are "landscape"-ish songs. I was surprised to see that this was made in 1999 since the production is quite good and it sounds more recent somehow. Fun one! Might listen again in the future

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 25 2025

Fun one! Cool cover of Listen to the music, overall pretty funky and they all play really well!

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Nov 27 2025

IDK... The songs somewhat vibes, but they all get repetitive fast. Feels more like a jam or something. The signing is more distracting than serving the songs. So in the end, I didn't quite _like_ any of them.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Dec 02 2025

Pretty good listen! Put this as background music while working and enjoyed the vibe a lot. You can almost feel like you are part of the crowd and their energy. They are all pretty good musicians and had a good time.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Dec 03 2025

I have to say I was not 100% focused on listening to this one, but absolutely nothing grabbed me. The beats were alright.

Dec 09 2025

Quite liked it! Pretty light, some good songs, knew the major ones. What makes me not sure is that they all sounds a bit samey? But it was a fun listen

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 18 2025

I remember this one from another 1001 and that it was quite enjoyable

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 20 2026

Seeing the album and song titles, I expected this to be way more heavy rock like Judas Priest, but the very piano-heavy sections sounds more like Elton John with more heavy guitar. The first song is quite the journey! I did recognize "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" but had no idea it was them! Fun album, really enjoyed it!
