I didn't like it very much. I think I would have liked this more if I was in my 20's. Side A was really pretentious sounding, although I did smile when I heard Phil Collins sing on "More Fool Me". Some bits still made me smile though.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Nov 28 2025

Insanely messy production nah fuck it this is amazing. wall of sound shit

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 29 2025

It's OK, honestly. I think a bit dated now, but might come back around in the future. Some nice songs on here.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 01 2025

I really liked this. this is quite different to what I usually listen to but I really enjoyed it. NOt sure if I will be going back to it any time soon, but I'm glad I've heard it.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 02 2025

Really intimidating for me, didn’t really get along with it. Might revisit this but for now I think it will remain, as most jazz does for me, a bit of an uncrackable mystery. Is it just too ambient for my taste?

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 03 2025

When I started discovering music I absolutely loved this. This was one of the first ever albums of costellos that I listened to. Loads of catchy tunes and that voice! Pretty amazing for a debut if you really think about it. Alison hits you out of nowhere. Still one of his best tracks. Costello goes on to have a pretty awe inspiring career. Looking forward to getting another one of his later in the journey.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 04 2025

This is so so good. Not only are the vocals, lyrics and performance great, but it’s also so well produced.

Guero by Beck
Dec 05 2025

meh

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Dec 07 2025

Can really tell this is a pre album era, proto rock, etc. fizzes at the start and then just like, 10 minutes at least of filler.

Dec 08 2025

yeah im not very well versed in rap or hip hop so I guess its only fitting that I expand my horizons into it through the most caucasian music project of all time. Anyway, what can I say about this. I was surprised it was made in 1990, that's just amazing. The sound is so much more modern than the release date in my view. Another thing is I really like LL Cool J's voice - he has a lot of range. Smooth on one track to aggressive on the next. Overall I liked it a lot.

Horses by Patti Smith
Dec 09 2025

Not gonna claim to get this one eh. Redondo beach…? Like….huh?

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Dec 10 2025

Prescient stuff. The run from Theme to Public Image is absolutely banging. Amazing bass playing. But, what the fuck was that last track?

Damaged by Black Flag
Dec 11 2025

yeah the boys. It's a 35 minute album but it feels like it drags a bit.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 18 2025

Yeah pretty good

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Dec 19 2025

One album a day is pretty tough and maybe not enough time to spend with something to really pass judgement, but having said that, I think that if an album invites you to revisit it again that should immediately add another star for me.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Dec 21 2025

Yeah pretty good. Very pretty songs, singing, and playing.

Dec 22 2025

to be honest I have never really had the attention span to listen to the entire thing. But what I have heard is great

War by U2
Dec 29 2025

boring songwriting boring playing

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 31 2025

Oh to be cursed witn having made a song as good as “The Killing Moon”. Incredible vocal performance and definitely an influential sound. It's just that there's not a single track that is anywhere as close as "The Killing Moon".
