Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis · 1 likes

3/5

I think another commenter summed this up good for me. "Jazz melts in to the bakground and disapears, to me. I reallice that this is god jazz, but i cant rember anything from listening to this record." Ignore his god awful english. His point is good, I think it's good background music, and realise the mastership and that this was the birth of cool jazz. But would only put this on if I was cooking a 5 star meal.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt · 1 likes

5/5

Sometimes I think I have good taste, until I listen to noise rock and absolutely love it.

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

I like it how I like most beatles albums I've listened to. It feels like one beatly mess with 1 or 2 ultra iconic bangers. Eleanor rigby is of course great and iconic. Yellow submarine is also good. But I find myself lost in the same kind of style for the other songs. I get the beatles influence. But can't get myself to like their albums. (Except abby road <3). Got myself into them after getting songs stuck in my head, bumped this up to a 4!.

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Pretty good, will listen again sometime. First and last tracks were great. Prob like a 3.5/5

Celebrity Skin

Hole

4/5

Yeah, ts shit is good. Really enjoyable, Listened to it twice in a row. I always have a weak for some good rock. Prob like a 4/5.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Didn't expect to like it, since I've never dabbled in folk music. But this was great. The reason I started this journey was to discover music outside my favorite genre. And Tracy Chapman will definitely stay on the roster. Easy 4/5.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Good, but pretty uninspiring, that title track rocks. Will return but not soon.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

First album I had heard before. Mr blue sky just gets stuck in my head. But i think the album is too long.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

2/5

I don't like country, and this didn't convince me. Some good moments in a pile of mid.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

5/5

I really like this, I was studying for my upcoming exam, and this was exactly the music that fit my mood. Debating between 4/5 and 5/5. But I will return again, and add this to my liked albums.

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

4/5

Ts was kinda fun. Some boring moments, and the production was abhorent (prob for todays standards, I'm guessing it sounded fine in the great '67). Cool to know where "Somebody to love" came from. I will return to, because I liked the rock 'n roll vibe. Between 3-4.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Fun listen, never knew them, now i do.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

4/5

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

4/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

Ts was fun, put ts of to listen to it, but its great. Between 4/5 for me, so might change on a relisten

Timeless

Goldie

4/5

They didn't have to put the same track twice as album closer. Still I enjoyed this alot as the meditative work music this is supposed to be. 1001 album generator listeners just can't enjoy albums >67 mins.

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

Jesus I liked this way more than I thought, I'm not a rap fan, or atleast, I haven't tried. But I liked ts. Debating 3 or 4. Might change on a relisten but rn a 3.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

5/5

Been listening to the beatles more lately, so maybe that's why I liked this 60's album a lot. Usually don't dig old stuff but ts was great.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

This is NPC rock, unfortunately I'm not a so called "free-thinker"

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

5/5

Why is the audience just a bunch of teenage girls in a rollercoaster?

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Brian Eno

5/5

I feel like Michael Gira listened to this before starting Swans

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Wild is the wind, more tame is this album.

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

At first I didn't like ts, then I did. I can see James Murphy jamming along to this.

Kimono My House

Sparks

4/5

If fun was an album, this is it.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

5/5

Ts is good. Already liked pixies and listened to doolittle before. Knew "where is your mind? ", so I kinda knew I was gonna like this.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

5/5

Summer >"I'm going to ruin your life' Tom >*mumbles* "Hi" Summer >"I Said I love the Smiths"

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

5/5

Already knew ts, My generator is on a hot streaks recently, with albums like surfer rosa, the queen is dead and since I left you following eachother up. Ts an easy 5 for me. Introduced me to the genre and loved it ever since. The relisten was fun aswell. I also really like the fact every songs transitions very smoothly into every other song.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

Maybe I'm just too whimsical, but I hoped this album would lower my average score (4.0 at the time of writing). But I kinda liked it a little. Giving it a 3 because I still don't like pop all to much. Writing away my high average score due to small sampling bias.

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Mercedes benz was less enjoyable than nails on a chalkboard. The rest was fine though.

Suzanne Vega

3/5

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

5/5

I can't not give this a 5. My dad used to play this all the time. Still does.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Amazing, always love long tracks

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

5/5

Sometimes I think I have good taste, until I listen to noise rock and absolutely love it.
