Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses · 1 likes

1/5

An album that, despite its occasional 'iconic' track, fails to impress. It's so easy is a domestic abuse anthem? I'm mad at this album for making me question if I even like classic rock.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

some good classic jazz, a bit more laid-back than mingus but not 'easy-listening' by any means. I would actually rate this closer to a 3.5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

I think it's so interesting that this is getting recommended to me rn as I'm currently obsessed with Elliott Smith despite being previously unimpressed by his work. Happy coincidence :) However, I definitely prefer his other albums. Solid 3, fav track: can't make a sound

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

1/5

I like the beastie boys in theory, but the backing tracks on these songs are really lacking. Obviously Fight For Your Right and No Sleep Till Brooklyn were good, but the rest was mid as hell... the song girls (regardless of it being satire or not) was so bad.... like if you're going to make a 'misogynist anthem' at least make it sound good. Anyways I was optimistic going into it but this is definitely a 1 star

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

I really liked this actually lol. It's very clear that this is an influential album, I could hear a lot of sonic elements that I've seen other bands replicate. big ska vibes which I loved (I'm assuming this predates ska but I'm more familiar with that genre). and it's dang good too. 5 stars!

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

A fun lighthearted album that shows why Michael was the goat </3

The Modern Lovers

2/5

I respected this album and there were a lot of elements to it that I found enjoyable, but ultimately it didn't click for me.

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

some good ol big band jazz. takes me back to the good old days, saved it to ethan's post-mission playlist as well. favs were midnight blue and splanky, 4.5-5 (we'll see how i feel in the morning)

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

2, didn't like but didn't HATE

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

2/5

2 stars, didn't hate or like. it's very boring. It's not that I don't like this vibe, as I enjoy alt country a la widowspeak, mojave 3, chris isaak, mitski's "the land is inhospitable and so are we" but this album wasn't clicking for me. I think there was too much 'silence', like between solos and stuff. my favorite was sweet jane but if your best song on an album is a cover....... not a good sign
