Sulk

The Associates

2/5

Loved the production, sounded crystal smooth. Lyrics were interesting but vocals hidden in production made it tough to really appreciate. Not my vibe but as an album a pretty cool project

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Interesting mix of soulful/exotic music with introspective lyrics pondering Bowie’s religion/outlook on life. Some songs go on for a while long, but overall pretty good

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Regardless of the classics, the rest of the album holds up. Highlights are Things Go On, I Ain’t the One, and Tuesday’s Gone, the latter of which does drag a tad long but is still compelling. Overall the album is great as a whole, with a compelling Rock/Country vibe, jumping solemnity and playfulness, with familiarity helping make it an easy first and repeatable listen.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

Like finding your way through the fog of a red light late night

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Easy listen but needed time to really enjoy. Favorite tracks are East St Louis and the final 3 track run

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Good album, lots of energy. Not my favorite but good if I need a kick

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

2/5

Not really up my alley, but is an easy background listen and is genuinely a pretty smooth sounding album

Grace

Jeff Buckley

4/5

Very good, clean production, great vocals, a nice mix of somber and energetic songs. Highlights are unsurprisingly Hallelujah and Lover, You Should've Come Over

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Good vocals, nice to just put on in the background for a 60s vibe

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

Great hits, beautiful vocals. Very 60s

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

Cmon now. It’s the first Beatles album with only original material. Banger of a pop album

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

2/5

Objectively was pretty good but it’s not my cup of tea

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Very enjoyable. Like a rainy day spent looking out the window

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

This was a banger. Intro track was fire, so was the rest of the album

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

One of my favorite albums of all time. Start to finish, a psychedelic masterpiece up there with the greatest 60s albums. It has hits, it has deep cuts, it’s an all time great.

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

3/5

A strange but enjoyable listen for me. I don’t typically like this type of music, but I found myself intrigued by a lot of the songs, with the highlight for me being Intervention

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Kind of a banger

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

I mean it is a classic, but admittedly not my type of classic rock

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

3/5

Can be a bit cheesy but overall very enjoyable listen. Favorite song was Happiness

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

Extremely fun listen. First four songs absolutely slap, while the rest of the album still bangs but could be lifted by a little more energy. Really cool album, particularly like the title track, Richard III, and the funkiness of Sometimes I Make You Sad

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

3/5

Solid country album, but not something I’d put on usually. Catchy melodies, but nothing too crazy

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

A definite vibe. Would probably rate it higher if my mood was HIGH

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

3/5

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

One of a kind. Best array of music that could be found on any album ever, done in a way that never feels jarring. Revolution 9 sucks, but everything else is incredible. Is it a bit long? Who cares. It sold. People love it. It’s the Beatles White Album. Shut up

The Doors

3/5

Certainly a classic, but not particularly my cup of tea

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

2/5

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

1/5

Not a huge fan. Catchy and easy to listen to music, but just not my catch. Also didn’t like the “want to be molested. who cares how old you are”

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

4/5

Very fun short listen. First and last songs are the highlights for me

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

2/5

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

One of the greatest albums of all time. Lyrics, production, aesthetic and vibes. Once in a decade type of album

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Pretty darn good

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

It feels like I should like it, but I just don’t. Tokyo storm warning is pretty good, though a little long

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Best Simon and Garfunkel album as a whole. Half a concept with Bookends, half a hits comp with some of their best. Save the Life of my Child, one of their only overtly psychedelic songs, is a personal favorite.

Os Mutantes

4/5

Not a word was understand. Vibes were phenomenal. Very fun listen

Peter Gabriel

3/5

It was enjoyable, nothing crazy but pretty alright

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

It’s fine, but not my thing

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

I See You

The xx

3/5

Inoffensive pop. Nothing too interesting, but I’m an idiot so maybe I missed it

Celebrity Skin

Hole

3/5

Pretty fun album

Purple Rain

Prince

2/5

Me. And my Rat family

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Pretty solid. Might need to relisten tbh

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

It’s fine. Very grand - I should probably try again on a different day

Hot Shots II

The Beta Band

3/5

Cool vibes

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Tiny Dancer and Levon are always great - Madman Across the Water is also pretty good. Otherwise, the album feels alright but nothing too special

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

4/5

Really fun listen. Great vocals, fun mix of music, lyrics that were unexpectedly dark at times

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

A solid rock album, but nothing that grabbed hold of me

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

If I could give half stars, id give this 3.5. Very enjoyable, just too many songs that lasted too long that I didn’t care about

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

3/5

Low

David Bowie

2/5

Liked it more than Station to Station, but still doesn’t do much for me

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

Pretty good. Really liked the brief “Soldier’s Poem”, and in general that middle section of tracks that moved along steadily

Common

3/5

Very smooth record. Lyrics are great, production’s great, just gets a little too stale at times for a 4

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Surprising in some of its depths. Not what I expected to find when finally listening to the Police, in a good way. Not quite a 4 for me, but still really good

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Good, but I’m just not a Neil Young guy (can’t stand Helpless). Highlights for me are Carry On, Woodstock, and Our House. Also liked 4 + 20 and Teach Your Children

Transformer

Lou Reed

2/5

Glam rock isn’t my thing. Satellite of Love is my highlight

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

2/5

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

1/5

Just not my thing. Kinda cool though

Californication
