Dec 16 2025

Loved the transitions, love Sam’s energy, The jazz and soul were strong here, love these Cooke songs are banger, felt like I was there at a concert which was cool. Songs were weaved together well with happy in beginning and then sad and relatable relationships with it ending on a happy note. Love my Sam Cooke.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 17 2025

I realize the impact. Miles Davis pushed jazz and ventured into what is known today as modal jazz. To me though I’m more of a Motown, fast pace, swing jazz guy. Overall I liked it but not something I would listen to again unless I’m studying or working.

Dec 18 2025

I love Aretha Franklin, love her voice within this album and the power she echos from it. She is the queen of soul. Love the soul within this project with all sorts of instrumentals, drums, piano, guitar, trumpet and much more. A very nice RnB and soul album that lead great impact.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 22 2025

Better than Kind of Blues, liked the swing of it and this kind of jazz was nice.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 23 2025

Really fun and different indie rock album, lot of cool instrumentals and vibe.

Dec 24 2025

Loved the experimentation with opera and rock. Love how all over the place the album is theme wise. Some songs didn’t stick out to me while some did. Very strong album but not one of my favorites.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Dec 25 2025

Absolute masterpiece, this album had great instrumentals with using guitar, piano, violins, and yes… kettle pots. This album discovers fears and anxieties of loss, through everything. This album resonates deep within me emotionally and confounds me in a way I’ve never felt before.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Dec 29 2025

Very experimental and werid at first but as I listened through the more and more I liked it. It’s a masterpiece using samples to convey a story of how mere samples can become blossoms of art, using this eerie album as an example.

Queen II by Queen
Dec 30 2025

Huh, so that’s why Queen is the goat.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 31 2025

Very good rock album, deep and personally on drug addiction and coming up from rock bottom. An easy and strong 3.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 01 2026

Album was pretty good, liked the vocals and instrumentation. Very soulful and lively but here’s the thing, this felt like Aretha Franklin but not as good in my opinion. I didn’t think this album was anything really special but it was nice.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 05 2026

I like Bob Marley, he is peak Regae

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 07 2026

Again just like miles Davis, great jazz to walk to and listen to but to me personally it was like ground breaking jazz to my ears, but it was very nice.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 09 2026

Thought album was really good. Loved the rock and roll with classic rock mix. Just a very nice album.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 12 2026

Loved the album, Nate it’s not punk rock get your facts straight

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jan 16 2026

Really good, a solid 3

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 21 2026

Nothing crazy, just some sexy rock.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 23 2026

I found this album really interesting. I loved the retro and electronic synth rock of this album. Probably a 3 but I really like how it sounds.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 26 2026

SALSA!

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 27 2026

This is not peak Black Sabbath but it’s pretty good, I loved the western folk rock within it. However we all know that when one becomes paranoid it becomes peak from within.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 29 2026

Overall a pretty good album. They really thought they invented the electric organ… or maybe they did…

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jan 30 2026

This album is gorgeous and I love it!

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Feb 03 2026

I liked the funk and disco and occasional rock to this album but ultimately it wasn’t for me.

Debut by Björk
Feb 04 2026

1 of the most visual albums I have ever listened to. Never gonna be a sound like björk

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Feb 05 2026

I like the message, freeing yourself from traumatic and toxic situations, I think the album was well put together but wasn’t for me.

Dare! by The Human League
Feb 06 2026

Really like the electronic retro dance music.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 10 2026

Loved the instrumental and desert blues but felt like the lyrics didn’t match well with the rhythm and beat

Feb 12 2026

I don’t know where to start. This album was a mess and the middle was a slog to get through. There were 4 takeaway songs and the 2 and other 2 were the start and endings. All the middle stuff was just boring. I don’t think it was a total lost cause again some songs were good but it’s really close to a 1.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 13 2026

Did anyone catch on good friends the Stevie wonder hidden feature? Yeah man this was fantastic pop and a rnb album that still gives that groove.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 16 2026

I really enjoyed this rock band, they are also doing modern albums too :)

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 18 2026

It’s really interesting, has a lot of different musical themes.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 19 2026
Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Feb 20 2026

I really didn’t like how lazy his voice sounded. It was ok but definitely not for me.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 23 2026

Some of the best rock and dreamy rock you could ever listen to

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Feb 24 2026

The beats and beat switches are immaculate

Marquee Moon by Television
Feb 25 2026

It wasn’t even bad, just was not exciting to me.

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 26 2026

It was really good but there are some ups and downs with this one. A solid 3.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Mar 02 2026

This one is tough because I feel it has a lot of ups and downs. Overall I could see myself listening to some of the tracks again and coming back to this project.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 03 2026

I just didn’t care for this when listening to it. Like there are some interesting beats but I just found it very underwhelming.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Mar 04 2026

Holy snooze fest. Only like 3 good songs and 2 of them are good cause my smoker isn’t chirping.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 05 2026

This album was very ambitious and creative but it turned out to be a terrible creation. It’s just terrible to listen to.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Mar 06 2026

This album was incredible. Wasn’t feeling the first 3 tracks but then it just picked up from there and was astonishing. Going back heroine and we are the pigs aren’t even that bad and the intro is ok. Overall just a phenomenal album with emotion all over the place. Fast and slow, rock and orchestration.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 09 2026

This one is really tough because on one hand I really enjoyed this electronic, alien like rock that conveyed this eerie story but on the other hand do I think it is a 4? Yes, yes I do.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 10 2026

This albums chemistry was fantastic, songs were good and overall a really solid piece of work.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 11 2026

This album is phenomenal and will go down as one of the deepest love/heart break albums of all time.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 12 2026

Overall a fantastic funky hip hop album

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 17 2026

Great Latin album with lots of cool sounds like the electric organ and chimes.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Mar 18 2026

This was a fantastic, hiphop record that brought old school beats and a nice flow by Missy.

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 19 2026

This album makes me very happy and filled with life.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 20 2026

Really cool south western Latin music here.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Mar 23 2026

I’m disappointed. I thought this would be the album in arcade fire’s discography that would fight against there beautifully crafted soul reaching album funeral. This album was just so on and off for me. I really like crawl 1 and 2 and some others like suburbs but none of these songs compare to any on funeral. Overall it was a total disappointment as I did get some good songs but also some misses and no songs that really touched me except crawl 1 and 2

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 24 2026

Great poetic punk rock.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Mar 25 2026

Very bland and not a lot going on.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Mar 26 2026

I really liked how she incorporated jazz, disco all into folk rock and country but I only liked a few songs on here and it felt very lack luster.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Mar 30 2026

Fantastic grunge album.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 31 2026

This was a really weird experimental album that wasn’t totally for me but I like how werid it is so I’m giving it a low 3.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Apr 01 2026

This album was interesting with its pop centric electro dance sounds.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Apr 02 2026

Decent soulful blues but nothing crazy.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 03 2026

Eh it was a once and done album, the balls of Johnny cash cannot be understated.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Apr 08 2026

I thought it was good, first leg felt very repetitive but then the later half started to feel unique per song. Overall really good dance music along with good messaging.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Apr 09 2026

So the static I’m still not the biggest fan of but the vocals are really good and the instrumentals are good as well. I enjoyed.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Apr 14 2026

I loved this album, very nice Latin jazz. I will say that I will and will never be a fan of albums that repeat songs on them. Aretha Franklin did it as well and I just think it’s outright lazy so they can fill their criteria of minutes in an album. But the music is so good it’s still a 4, one of the most chill albums to me.

I See You by The xx
Apr 15 2026

It’s cinema 🙌

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Apr 16 2026

Overall this was a decent jazz singing album.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Apr 17 2026

This album was not good lyrically and vocally. However the instrumentals did cook at times but not all the time. Also what is bro yapping about splitting the Chinese sky open 😂.

Apr 21 2026

This was a pretty good live album however I’m not the biggest fan of live albums because it’s a lot of their popular songs combined with other covers. A 3 to me is appropriate.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 22 2026

Culture, celebration, voice, love, and great instrumentation.

Apr 24 2026

This album was just amazing with atmosphere and story telling.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 27 2026

I love the versatility of the folk, rock, blues, and country however I think the second leg is a lot weaker than the first. Overall I liked about half of the album. It was decent but with the last 4 being meh it’s a work I respect but won’t go back to.

21 by Adele
Apr 28 2026

Just so beautiful.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Apr 29 2026

I’m very mixed. I really like the messaging however the inconsistency’s for me amount to more than the great messaging.

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 30 2026

I really like this eerie physcodelic jazz album

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
May 04 2026

Just an amazing RnB love album that encapsulates Marvin Gaye’s sense of love for the genre.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 05 2026

A very good melancholy rock album that was very introspective.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
May 06 2026

Thought this album was really cool and super weird. Love the effects and cool rifts.

OK Computer by Radiohead
May 07 2026

This was a fantastic album that was emotionally charged and filled with great lyrical meaning and instrumental.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
May 08 2026

This album’s production is really well done and put together. I will say the first leg jay z was not it but the second leg he was in a flow state and cooking.

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 11 2026

Decent record. First 2 didn’t hit but then it got good. Overall a solid electronic album.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
May 12 2026

Eh, most of it was covers and the stuff that was his was just all the same rhythm. It’s a very repertory album with covers.

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
May 13 2026

This was really ambitious and it sort of payed off in a way. I loved how diverse the album was. Sometimes it didn’t work sometimes it did.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
May 14 2026

This was really good. Lyrically and instrumentally. A really good love/breakup album.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
May 15 2026

I liked the beats but they weren’t crazy, his rap flow I really was not into.

May 18 2026

This album was pretty cool. Lot of cool electronic beats and instrumentals. Wasn’t my favorite but also wasn’t bad.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
May 20 2026

I loved the beats and instrumentals but the vocal wasn’t appealing to me. Some songs or good, some I wouldn’t listen to again.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 21 2026

Instrumental was really simple and lackluster and singing wasn’t that good.
