The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

4/5

i had fun listening to it on way home to syracuse for thanksgiving. a change of pace. i think i liked the songs that autogenerated afterwards better because they had a bit more of a clear melody lol. i really liked the microtones play with the sitar and had fun thinking about how many worlds there are and how nothing is a universal language. it also is fun to rate this as an album because transformed into immutable mobile it is no longer merely an authentic rendition of indian music. so which standards of album am i supposed to use in my rating?

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

i liked more than anticipated. it was easy background listening while driving around in the snow.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

this was a lot of fun to listen to. goktug described rock as sex drugs sleeping around and punk as fuck the system. that was helpful for an illiterate like me. they were happy i liked green day. i think the energy is fun though it’s a bit claustrophobic blasting it in the car, maybe only because im still uncomfy in my skin!

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

this was so good i really enjoyed. my favorite was when he said my life i want money and power and sydney said that's in a lot of anime edits.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

really loved this, wish i had gotten a chance to take a bath while listening to it. totally unexpected voice

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

catchiest album ever i love it how could i not. goktug says it’s dreamy i think its so ripe for bopping

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

thoroughly enjoyed. nice companion when alone in nyc.

Suede

3/5

sounds like people don’t like britrock but i enjoyed, i did fall asleep on the way to painted post so could listen again but mostly i feel like i liked it because it was associated with the smiths.

Being There

Wilco

2/5

liked some of them, some were really bad

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

4/5

I liked it! But maybe i like his other music more. Indian summer was a fun time.

White Denim

3/5

I like the drums in this album. Goktug says its got prog rock feeling bc intricate solos and intros blends into math rock of very intricate rhythms.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

I really enjoyed listening to this, felt instantly familiar, kind of like prototypical jack johnson LOL but definitely less cringe. hated that coconut song i won't like.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

2/5

i guess this was fun to listen to, electronic and mildly entertaining but i didn’t really care at the end of the day

Dire Straits

1/5

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

1/5

from the opening twangs i knew i really didn’t like this. took me so long to get through it 1001 albums marked me as on hiatus

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

at first was very disconcerted by how ominous and menacing it all sounds. but came to appreciate all the mumbling and shouting and talking and sometimes singing. i’m not sure when j would be in the mood to listen to this but i think it could create the mood for me

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

has the arctic monkeys melodrama, the bad lyrics, but there are really catchy instrumentals. goktug hates the band name. people describe as arctic monkeys w a 60s mod rock feel

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

3/5

Rocks

Aerosmith

i am just not into it

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

2/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

1/5

i can’t do this vibe

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

i loved this, maybe country really is my thing. god bless john cash indeed, this was such a cool album and wow when he sang san quentin... so electric.

At Budokan

Cheap Trick

4/5

couple of bangers, classic rock and roll i can’t be mad. but lyrics are rather uninspired

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

pleasant country music

Palo Congo

Sabu

1/5

honestly not very fun to listen to. feels. well. dated so it’s not fair bc they keep sending me all this iconic stuff without impressing on me its originality

Vespertine

Björk

4/5

enjoyed this. i can see how bjork is important to everything i listen to these days lol

Iron Maiden

5/5

surprised to say i enjoyed this a lot. it reminded me of umm dragonforce thru the fire n the flames :D felt at home as a jjba enjoyer

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

5/5

delightful, so classic she’s amazing, but way too long wtf

The Only Ones

4/5

thought was very mid and boring but then i listened to another girl another planet and loved it, another one of those whiny rock stars sounds like velvet underground but spotify described lead peter perrett as raffish & scuzzy so i liked it even more

Cypress Hill

5/5

hilarious and amazing 5/5

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

At first found this pretty normal, just like rock once again. But when Grace Slick solos she sounds so androgynous and amazing. I love Somebody to love and White Rabbit. My best friend is a cute song as well. Apparently a classic of 60s psychedelic rock.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

i loved starman naturally but i couldn’t really get into it im very sorry goktug

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

5/5

loved it, had a lot of interesting noises and the simple bitchy lyrics were very charming. very echoey and reverby, perfect for my CA driving

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

this was really forgettable. just pretty and sad, somewhat orchestral, there's piano and then some weird high pitched buzzing sounds. i liked goddess on a hiway.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

i love queen, and ALMOST all of these songs are so delightful, with the piano and the catchy tunes but there were some epic flops like the one I'm in love with my car which another reviewer has enlightened me to that it was sung by the drummer who locked himself in a cabinet unless he got his way :D i hated it, it was beyond a conventional kind of bad. anyway bohemian rhapsody is on this album

Drunk

Thundercat

4/5

this was fun, it reminded me a lot of jacob colliers stuff and honestly a lot of other contemp tbh artists like blood orange’s newest. rnb with a lot of breezy electronic synths and he had some funny lyrics. felt like something substantial was missing though, didn’t feel like there was much to sink into. but great to have on in the car

One World

John Martyn

3/5

when i first heard his mumbly old man voice i was really ready to hate this album. but it was actually really beautiful and a weird folksy jazz rock fusion. i still can only pick out one word every hundred. and i don't feel like i will actually be listening to this album anytime soon. but if it were to come on at jazz @ lincoln center i would be happy enough

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

1/5

WHY did it open like that?? i almost took out my right earbud. i can't listen to the rest of this album, that gave me the beginnings of a migraine.

Adele

5/5

so good and so many bangers!

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

so good to listen to
