1001 Albums Summary

17/12/2025 1. when i kissed the teacher - like the sound, especially of the chorus, but what???? don't like the ending, backing vocals ruin it a bit. great bass 2. dancing queen - iconic. 70s synthesisers are either the spawn of the devil or the best thing you've ever heard, this leans towards devilspawn. love the violins and piano. also great. ☆3. my love, my life - immediately like this one more, love the backing vocals, more soft and dreamy, dreaminess fades at the chorus but still a great pop song. so far favourite song, will be listening to this one again. love the bells at the end. 4. dum dum diddle - is that a synthesiser or a harpiscord??? the bass on these songs is great! liked the song but already getting a bit sick of abba lol. 5. knowing me, knowing you - had a break after the last one. alan partridge song :) one of the better songs so far. i like the whispering in the second verse. 6. money, money, money - love how dramatic this one is. bass is really great in this album. love the tone change towards the end. 7. that's me - immediately not liking the intro. once the vocals started it got better, didn't like the piano at first but it grew on me throughout. 8. why did it have to be me? - i like the guitar and piano but not as fond of the male vocals, song was redeemed when the female vocals started. love the saxaphone(?). didn't think i'd like this when it started, but it definitely grew on me, love the instrumental sections. ☆9. tiger - hooked from the intro, the banging drums are great. guitar riff great as well. one of my favs from this album. 10. arrival - a lot folkier and less poppy than the other songs. didn't know abba did an instumental song. didn't like it as much as the other songs, but would listen again still. 11. fernando - not much to say about this one. the vocals are still fantastic, love the chorus. feel abba-ed out right now. 12. happy hawaii - love the wave sound at the start, reminds me of quadrophenia, i would probably like this more if i hadn't listened to an entire album of abba before. chorus is great. liked this album a lot more than i thought i would, but admittedly did get abba-ed out towards the end, even with a break in the middle. most of the songs are great sounding pop songs with alright lyrics, but i am partial to mor pop so i loved it. tiger was a great one and my love, my life is lining up to be a song i obsessively relisten to for a month straight. will definitely give happy hawaii another change when i am over my abba fatigue :)

18/12/2025 1. prowler - two guitars!!! immediately not as bad as i was expecting bc i haven't liked the heavy metal i've listened to. the vocals aren't really my thing though i don't hate them. nice guitar part in the middle. i'm getting the vibe that indulgent guitar solos are going to be a big part of this album lol. this is a lot better than i thought it would be, will give this one a relisten to later :) ☆2. remember tomorrow - quieter start, not what i was expecting. i reaally like this one so far. this is really great, liking the lyrics of this one a lot more. got louder now, but still great. love the guitar riffs. halfway through the song, guitar solo. this goes on for so long..... not really my thing. the guitar in the quieter parts is reminding me of dancing barefoot by patti smith and i'm not sure why. feeling like this is going to be my favourite off of the album so far. without the louder parts, this would become constantly on repeat for me (lyrics remind me a bit of the 13th floor elevators/psychedelic rock in general), but it's just not for me 3. running free - like the drums and bass at start. the lyrics are very american. this is more like what i feared when i started listening to this album. halfway though this song how is there still a minute and a half. like the instrumental though. like the ending as well. 4. phantom of the opera - great intro! like the energy. sooo much better than the last one, reminds me of what my dad would listen to in the car. so far i'm liking this guitar solo a lot more than the other ones. bass is great in this album, has been surprisingly prominent through all the songs, especially considering how guitar heavy these songs are. lots of tempo changes in this one. 2 minutes left and the guitar solo is getting a bit grating now. 1 minute left and i'm desperate for this bloody guitar solo to end. 5. transylvania - getting iron maiden fatigue right now, not sure if it is better or worse than abba fatigue yesterday. without any lyrics to focus on it sounds kind of samey. focusing on the bass more is making this song a lot more enjoyable but it's hard sometimes with the constant guitar. 6. strange world - liking the intro. bass is great!! especially the part when the guitar starts, which i'm liking a lot more in this song. i'm loving the quieter parts of this album, more like something i would generally choose listen to, also a lot more melodic than i would expect from a metal album, also punkier than i expected. 7. charlotte the harlot - again, bass is really great. vocals have started and i'm immediately not looking forward to the next 4 minutes. got to the chorus and i'm not a fan of these lyrics. tempo change has possibly redeemed this song from the pits of hell. the bass is the best part of this album, which i wasn't expecting for the amount of guitar solos metal is known for. tempo change and it is not my thing again. 8. iron maiden - vocals started i'm begging for the song to end so i don't have to listen to iron maiden anymore - the instrumental sections are great but the vocals really aren't for me and it got a bit samey about halfway through the album. liked this more than i thought i would, the album cover is absolutely not my thing (the art style really reminds me of the ghost train at blackpool pleasure beach??), but still wouldn't willingly choose to listen to any of the songs again, except for maybe remember tomorrow or strange world. can definitely hear the prog rock and punk inspo, which has made me a lot more willing to give heavy metal a try, although i don't think it's ever going to be a genre i regularly listen to. iron maiden fatigue is a lot worse than abba fatigue.

19/12/2025 1. my my, hey hey (out of the blue) - heard this one before in the dennis hopper film named after it, but the first time i've properly listened to it by itself. liking the guitar. listened to a few neil young songs before and really love his voice :) also like the live aspect of this album. not sure how i feel about the harmonica though, probably depends what mood i'm in when listening lol. the lyrics are great as well. 2. thrasher - again, guitar, lyrics and vocals are great :) i like the more poetic lyrics and how gentle this song is; after listening to iron maiden and abba the past two days this is an absolute godsend. harmonica at the end reminds me a bit of everybody's talkin. ☆3. ride my llama - loving how picky the start of this song is. not much to say about this one, but loving this so far. i'm liking the more acousting folksy vibe, although i know it switches about halfway through? already love powderfinger so am very excited for that ☆4. pocahontus - before starting, i am slightly concerned what a white canadian man in the 70s has to say about pocahontus. now started, loving the guitar in this. was expecting this album to be a bit sad, but not as melancholic as this, verrrry beautiful. guitar sounds around the middle-ish are great!! loving the more surreal, dreamy lyrics, mixing the past and present. ☆5. sail away - the harmonica is back.... not as grating as certain dylan songs though and i'm in a good mood to deal with it. loving the female backing singer on this one. very tender song, really touching album so far :( quickly becoming a favourite of all time. the live aspect of this really helps the vibe for me. ☆6. powderfinger - already have this song constantly on repeat, been meaning to listen to this album for a while becuase of this song and this is the perfect reason :) listening to it as a part of the album instead of by itself has somehow pushed it up even further in my head. the guitar in this is crazy. love the lyrics, very atmospheric. the backing vocals are really great, especially in the instrumental section with that phenomenal guitar. i know the vocals aren't for everyone, but i love the whiny bits. 7. welfare mothers - immediately a lot more aggressive than i was expecting, especially after the first half of this album, but not complaining at all. the opening reminds me a bit of john i'm only dancing but a looot more punkier. this album is actually crazy why have i been putting off listening to it????? the lyrics aren't as poetic/complex as the rest, but it's such a high bar and the music is so good i actually do not care in the slightest. the guitar throughout, but especially at the end is going to drive me actually insane, this is one of the best albums i have ever listened to. ☆8. sedan delivery - neil young i am so sorry i doubted you when i had to listen to a cover of ohio in gcse history, this is the best thing i have ever heard!!!!!!! oh my god the guitar is so good i am going to explode the solos in this are actually transcendent. loooove the tempo changes. i am very quickly becoming obsessed with neil young. 9. hey hey, my my (into the black) - before listening i do not want this album to end. guitar has been phenomental thoughout and this is no different, loving the distortion and almost-screeching. been reading a few of the reviews on here when adverts came up and i can understand not liking his voice, but i don't understand how this is boring??? already knew i would like this album from knowing powderfinger and my my, hey hey, but this is one of the best things i have ever heard and will be on constant repeat for at least a week lol. i loved all of the songs and it absolutely did not feel like 40 minutes. will be listening to more of his albums/songs as well after i am done with repeating this one. i understand neil young's voice isn't for everyone (as someone who cannot get into tom waits no matter how much i try, sorry lol), but it absolutely works for me, vibes are off the charts, every song is transcendent and i do not want to pick a favourite. bring back non-americans doing americana (i now need to rewatch the last waltz). the favourites on this is basically useless because they are all that good. neil young you will live forever.

20/12/2025 1. carry on - liking the guitar immediately, kinda sitar-like. bass and vocals are nice as well. i'm liking how it's ramping up over time. a lot more hippie-ish than rust never sleeps (listened to yesterday), which i'm not as fond of but still nice to listen to. bassline just changed, love that. 2. teach your children - love the country slide guitar. this sounds like a countrified canadian simon and garfunkel. liking the lyrics of this, quite a sweet song. ☆3. almost cut my hair - liking the spoken intro. the guitars are great, immediately a lot more like what i would gravitate towards. vocals are my favourite so far. love the bass and the organ(?) in the chorus. the guitar in this is real good as well :) instrumental section a bit after halfway is great, love the interplay of the two guitars together. vocals in this are more my thing as well than the first two songs - more of a rockier song. 4. helpless - kinda know this one from the last waltz, but am interested how it sounds on an album. liking the slide guitar through this album. liking the lyrics more on this one. 5. woodstock - immediately guitar is great :) a lot funkier, more prominent bass than the other songs. liking the chorus. a bit too hippie-ish for me, though i like the more spiritual lyrics. guitar in the middle is great, the screeching reminds me a bit of i heard her call my name. 6. deja vu - a mix of psychadelia and folk. kinda sounds like simon and garfunkel again at times. not much to say about this one, liked it, but the fluctuating styles of this album mean that some of the songs aren't resonating as well for me and this is one of them :) 7. our house - again, not much to say about this one. it's nice to listen to, but it just doesn't work for me on any other level. getting a bit grating towards the end. ☆8. 4 + 20 - liking the fingerpicking guitar. vocals are really nice and the lyrics are my favourite so far. the more simplistic style works really nicely with the lyrics, really moving song. ☆9. country girl - not sure on this one at the start, but up to the chorus now and am really liking it, the organ is great!!! the lyrics of this one are great as well, as well as the chord changes. the part just under mins before it finishes where the electric guitar kicks in is great :) 10. everybody i still love you - immediately getting a rockier vibe from this, which i'm definitely appreciating. bass is great as well :) don't like the vocals on this one as much. the la la las sound like simon and garfunkel again??? is it just folky????? didn't enjoy this as much as rust never sleeps, if i had more time between them i probably would've liked this one more, but it's a very high bar to follow lol. as a whole, it's alright, but the differing styles and mixes of genres mean that some songs drag a bit more for me than others - the highs and lows are more dramatic, i'd definitely give all the songs a relisten at some point, but some i would gravitate to a looooott more. makes it a bit hard to try and give it a number rating. also a bit too hippie-ish for me, some songs are fine but others are far too much. need to find out which members were most prominent on which song to figure out who i like the most lol :)

1. beetlebum - kinda know this one already and liked it. nice fuzzy guitar at the start. bass just kicked in, liking how it's building up. beat drop at the chorus, liking the chorus. the vocals and lyrics are quite nice as well, although i would rather listen to oasis (manchester!!!!!). different from the britpop that i was expecting. distortion at the end is realllly nice :) 2. song 2 - who doesn't know this song already? the guitar is nice on this, wasn't expecting it to be soo fuzzy on this album, but i am liking it a lot more than parklife. very grungy, especially compared to their britpop hits that i know. don't have much else to say. 3. country sad ballad man - twangy. damon albarn's voice is starting to annoy me. guitar during the chorus is nice. about halfway through the song and i have nothing to say apart from it's alright. same with the other two songs. nearly four minutes in got loud and it's getting good. the ending is good, rest of the song is a bit meh. 4. mor - almost a minute in, just got loud and good. so far, the quieter parts are agony, but the louder, more distorted parts of this album are good, probably because it's harder to hear damon albarn over the guitar. 5. on your own - more electronic. the guitar has been great throughout. wish damon albarn would shut up though. wish some of these songs were a bit shorter, it would be great if i liked them, but i don't and it's dragging. ☆6. theme from retro - liking the guitar and the drums at the start. organ just started, liking this more than the last songs. a lot more atmospheric/vibier, great so far. keyboard is reallly nice as well. more pulp-adjacent? sounds sleazier. ending is also great. probably going to be my favourite if the rest of the songs are anything like the first five. 7. you're so great - do not like this immediately. all the worst parts of whiny american 90s indie music. hate the crackling sound effect. the guitar is good in this but i'm getting a bit sick of it now, sounds very similar to all of the other songs. if oasis isn't on this list and blur are i'm going to blow myself up. how have i still got a minute left???? ☆8. death of a party - this was in all of us strangers and i liked it in that, but am now not looking forward to it considering the rest of the album. again, guitar is really nice, but the same distorted, fuzzy effect as literally all the other songs. keyboard and bass are nice, especially in the verses where the guitar stops and they get more of a chance to shine over the guitar. chorus is great. about halfway through and bit worried how there is still another half left. really enjoyed actually :) 9. chinese bombs - short song!!!!! punkier, liking the verses more so far. alright, liked it more than some of the other songs, but not much to say. 10. i'm just a killer for your love - drums are nice. bass is also nice. getting a bit tired of the constant distortion and fuzz of everything. guitar sounds squelchy((?) not sure if that is the right word lol), but i'm liking that. wish this was about half the length, still not entirely enjoying it, but it would still be a bit more enjoyable. 11. look inside america - right away do not like damon albarn's voice in this one, begging for the mega distortion to come back. liking the violins in this. bass is really nice as well. who says kooky??? just over halfway through and this album would've been a lot better for me if it was half the length. liking the moments with the harp near the end, but didn't last very long lol. ☆12. strange news from another star - very excited for this album to end now. more quieter, nice break from the constant fuzz. chorus has just started and is really nice. bowie inspiration is very clear on this one. just after second chorus now and loving it, even as it's getting louder again. loved this one, not excited for what the next song has to bring for me. 13. movin' on - again, alright, but nothing else to say. about halfway through this one, if someone put this on, i wouldn't complain, but i definitely wouldn't reach to put it on myself. squeaky distortion reminds me of the instrumental in the paw paw negro blowtorch by brian eno. 14. essex dogs - bracing myself for eight (8!!!!) minutes of this...... liking the bass and the spoken word so far, but still about seven minutes left. three mins left and will maybe try and relisten another time, getting the feeling i might enjoy this one more without the slog of an entire blur album before it. same issue as yesterday, highs and lows are even more drastic and not as many highs for me :( felt a bit uneven throughout - some really great ones, but a lot of it was just alright for me. pulp+oasis (and basically any other britpop band) over blur any day.

*1. introduction - the guitar in this is really nice. liking the orchestral touch as well, works really well with the folksier style of the guitar. very sweet song :) 2. hazey jane ii - already vaguely know and like this song. immediately a nice bassline. liking the horns as well. really nice lyrics. instrumental part about halfway through is great. very belle and sebastian.... *3. at the chime of a city clock - the bass in this album is really great :) violins just started, really loving this. i've only ever properly listened to a few songs off of pink moon and wasn't expecting the range of instruments/production on this album, which for me is a welcome surprise. saxaphone(?) is really great as well. lyrics are great in this one, loving how the violins kick in at the chorus. 4. one of these things first - guitar intro is realllly nice. chord changes make it more melancholy. piano is nice as well. these songs sound bittersweet. 5. hazey jane i - the instrumentation is so nice throughout this album, i don't have much else to say besides how incredibly beautiful it sounds lol. the lyrics are also immense throughout, amazingly bittersweet. bass and strings are great as ever, especially at the end. *6. bryter later - had to have a break bc i had a headache, but am very excited to be back!!!!!! flute and strings together is perfect. 7. fly - immediately loving the strings in this one. really beautiful lyrics again. again, not much to say, the music speaks for himself. 8. poor boy - very jazzy, liking this one :) backing vocals are great. saxaphone is back!!!! *9. northern sky - right away, giving a very mellow vibe. really sentimental and sweet :) piano about halfway through is actually killing me, reallllly lovely. 10. sunday - loved this album so far, hasn't dragged at all. loving the flute and bass in this one. strings just started, reaaallly nice :) strings and bass changed up about halfway through, so so so beautiful. fantastic instrumentation. heard a few nick drake songs and have been meaning to listen to an album of his for a while, but never got round to it until now. really loved this one, said earlier i wasn't expecting the instrumentation, the strings reminded me more of music like scott walker's than the folk i was expecting. been reading other reviews saying it sounds overproduced and i feel this is another death of a ladies man situation (a predominantly acoustic singer-songwriter puts out a more produced album), but i love both these albums so i don't care :) will definitely be listening to all of these songs on repeat for a while.

23/12/2025 1. arise - dramatic start..... more visceral scott giger vibes from art and continuing with fleshy electronic sounds. liking so far. guitar just started and i do not like metal i am not in for a good hour. this is what i feared when i had to listen to iron maiden. the lyrics are nice ig but the music is not my thing at all, can appreciate the guitar at times though :) 2. dead embryonic cells - the intros are great, even if i don't like the rest lol. even though the music isn't my thing, it still sounds good. will never like metal vocals though. lyrics kind of emo..... 3. desperate cry - loving the intro again. doesn't immediately start with banging guitar!!! just started now. drums are great at the start, as well as the guitar. literally cannot hear the bass though :( this is probably really great for people who like metal, but i don't know how i'm going to get through an hour of this. 4. murder - all of these songs sound basically the same to me. to me, this is just angrier emo music, which i also don't like..... 5. subtraction - found out about halfway through this song that it's 40 mins without bonus tracks, cannot wait for it to end sooner. oh my god i can hear the bass. guitar just started again halfway through typing that. 6. altered state - wind at the start reminds me of threads or eraserhead. again, cannot fault the intros, but don't like the majority of the song. liking the echoing on the vocals. ending was nice :) 7. under siege (regnim irae) - quieter start, liking it so far. drums kicked in, bit loud but better than the rest of the album. guitar just got loud again, but slower than all of the other songs. lyrics are nicer. loving the effect on the vocals again. still not my thing, but enjoying it (more than i can say for the other songs). liking the slower, more distorted verses, like a more energetic swans, but the rest of it sounds the same. 8. meaningless movements - liking the screeching guitar parts. nothing else to say. cannot wait for this album to be over. 9. infected voice - thank god i'm onto the last song. this is probably a really great album if you like metal but i just don't. some of the intros were nice before it started with the constant noise. all of the songs just blended into one another. even though i haven't enjoyed it at all, i can understand why people who are into metal would like it, which is why it's getting two stars and not one lol. if i had to pick a favourite, it would be under seige, but i did not enjoy listening to it. will be immediately clearing my brain with 60s pop.

24/12/2025 *1. move over - nice drums at the start. guitar and vocals together are great!!! bass and pianos just started... great!!! oooohh one minute in and it is sooooo good. the bassline is immense! guitar solo great as well. her voice is incredible. very bluesy and groovy... <3 2. cry baby - who doesn't know this song already???? phenomenal voice..... the organ in the back is really nice. such a powerful song!!! loving the way it's building towards the end. wow...... *3. a woman left lonely - loving the switch from louder song to quieter now.... lyrics are reallll nice, voice impeccable as always :) organ in the back giving a gospel feel, as well as how powerful and soulful her voice is. *4. half moon - loving it immediately. going from a metal album yesterday when i couldn't hear the bass to this is heavenly.... funky bassline save me..... gospel and blues rock save me.... guitar solo, going to explode this is sooooo goooood. janis joplin's voice is literally angelic. 5. buried alive in the blues - loving the groooooove of these songs. fuzzy guitar!!!!! oooooo. the piano in this is sosososo good. wasn't expecting an instrumental track, but this is fantastic!! great ending. 6. my baby - more psychadelic vibes from the intro.... don't know why... her singing is just incredible....... nothing more to add than what i've said already. this is ecstatic. 7. me and my bobby mcgee - know this already from rw fassbinder's berlin alexanderplatz (fav movie/tv show <33 also has kraftwerk and leonard cohen. peak soundtrack). more country-ish... sooo grooovy. god her voice is incredible. 8. mercedes benz - acapella. really shows how raspy her voice is, but also how powerful it is that it can stand completely on it's own. everybody and noone answers.... that's it at the end.... so good. 9. trust me - all the instruments work so well together.... all of them stand out, but none overpower each other. such a powerful, growly voice!!!! 10. get it while you can - album hasn't felt slow or sluggish at all! don't want it to end! real great album! loved every song :) loving the bluesy/country/gospel/rock sound, very groovy songs. most of the albums i've been getting so far have been really great and this is no exception, been meaning to listen to janis joplin but not gotten around to it, feel very bad for putting it off now. will def give another relisten soon :)

25/12/2025 (merry christmas!) *1. white christmas - darlene love!!!! love the wall of sound <3 the spoken section is so nice..... this is my favourite version of this song.... beautiful 2. frosty the snowman - the ronettes!!!!! phil spector may be in the deepest recesses of hell, but he could make a great pop song. *3. the bells of st mary - the bells! omg i love this one. the backing vocals add so much..... his voice is soo nice. really sweet song. *4. santa claus is coming to town - the crystals!!!!! i love all of the new york accents.... i love when it gets all loud. the drums! saxaphone! aaahhh!!!! the bells........ the vocals...... iconic....... 5. sleigh ride - i love how much this is.... why is there a horse neighing...... *6. a marshmallow world - never heard any versions of this song before. saxaphone!!! her vocals are soooooo gooooood...... losing my mind. wish i had listened to this album earlier in the day, very much in the christmas spirit not even an hour before it's over lol. 7. i saw mommy kissing santa claus - on the christmas cd i had as a kid, i couldn't stand this song and have refused to listen to any version of it. but the ronettes might redeem it for me. liking the violins. immediately redeemed!!!! all of the instruments together are heavenly..... ronnie spector you will live forever....... gorgeous!!!! bring back pop music that sounds like this!!! 8. rudolph the red-nosed reindeer - i love this album so much..... so warm..... it's cheesy without feeling overbearingly cheesy, great :) 9. winter wonderland - somehow you can hear the bass more in this album than in the metal album i listened to a few days ago. in the christmas spirit right now!!!!!! these versions of the songs are now my favourites of all time! the instrumental bits are so nice......... *10. parade of the wooden soldiers - trumpets??? the vocals started i'm going to die...... incredible... *11. christmas (baby please come home) - the build up to the vocals..... love how dramatic this is....... oh my god the ending is sosooso gooooood. 12. here comes santa claus - wish it was acceptable to listen to christmas songs year-round because this album would be on constant rotation 13. silent night - oh my god why is phil spector speaking. not aged well. at all..... reallly nice after he shuts up though. some of these are classics that everyone knows, but even the lesser-played ones were really great :) will be playing this constantly next christmas <3

26/12/2025 1. red rain - immediately liking the bass. very atmospheric... very 80s. not entirely sold on his voice though.... very dramatic. not much to say about this one, didn't love it, but didn't hate it either :/ lots of the positive reviews i've read seem quite nostalgic for this, but i've literally never listened to peter gabriel before, so maybe that's why i'm not liking it as much?? 2. sledgehammer - reminding me of the music in wii sports resort basketball. really nice bass though. this is just background music for me. it's alright, but nothing really pushes it into something i would actively choose to listen to. the ending is really nice, especially with the backing vocals. 3. don't give up - nice intro. really sweet synths. the bass in this album is really great. i still don't like his voice, sorry! kate bush???? this is just boring to me. not finding this sweet or comforting, but preachy and annoying. i would kill myself if i heard this song again. how is there still a minute left. the instrumentals are nice though. 4. that voice again - i don't know how i'm going to get through this album. got loud and i'm liking it more :) bass is reallly nice. still very 80s, but in a less bad way than earlier songs. chorus is alright. 5. mercy street - liking the organ/synth at the start. had a break and his voice is sounding a bit better to me. i like the softer sound of this one. still a bit too 80s pop for me, not in a good way. 6. big time - this is the most 80s song ever made. still not in a good way bass is still nice though. *7. we do what we're told (milgram's 37) - the synths/electronic noises are really nice. guitar just started, liking it. more dreamy so far.... only one i've really liked. may redeem the album for me. very atmospheric...... loving this one. album redeemed. 8. this is the picture (excellent birds) - liking the intro. reaaally 80s. liking the vocals more. probably because there's not as much peter gabriel. liking the lyrics. 9. in your eyes - so glad this is almost over. not even enjoyable the way abba was. bass is still nice. all of the songs are far too long, especially when you're not enjoying them :( i didn't connect to any part of this album (except for the almost instrumental song that i really liked <3) and found it far too cheesy with a very overproduced 80s sound. maybe i'm too cynical for this, but the anti-suicide song just got on my nerves. as someone who likes synthpop, i didn't think i'd dislike this album so much, but it's like if you put my least favourite parts of generic 80s music and put them together. understanding why people don't like overproduced 60s pop now (they're still wrong).

27/12/2025 *1. do the strand - already love this song :) the saxaphone and bass are great!!!! why did brian ferry put on a sparks-y 'european' accent when he sings??? i love his voice though :) guitar solo is great as well!!! very dramatic after the guitar stops.... love the piano. love the lyrics. great ending. fun song! 2. beauty queen - liking the intro.... very dramatic..... bass is great again. looove brian ferry's voice. lyrics are lovely!!!! the guitar in the instrumental!? soooo gooood. song is hitting the sweet spot between pop and rock....... abrupt ending. 3. strictly confidential - quieter than the last two.... liking the violin. not sold on this one as much. other instruments just started, this is great :) this sounds more modern than the early 70s. liking the guitar..... loving the build up towards the end... *4. editions off you - liking the energy in this song more. bass is great in this album!! saxaphone just started!!!!! going craaaazy rn. squealing guitar/electronics(?)!!!! brian eno <3 brian ferry's voice is reallll great, love the lyrics as well. liking how chaotic it builds up to be. *5. in every dream home a heartache - love love love love this one already. lyrics are incredible, build up is incredible, instruments are incredible. peak. love how sinister this is..... aaaaah just got to the guitar!!!! fake-out fadeout (always reminds me of helter skelter)!!!!! 6. the bogus man - loving the bass.... the guitar is great as well... oboe(?) is really great..... vocals are really great. second half of the album seems to be darker? the lyrics are fantastic :) enjoying this, but not entirely sure how there's five minutes left? liking the slap(?) guitar... enjoyed it, but could've cut a few minutes off and wouldn't've lost anything. 7. grey lagoons - very old-school rock and roll..... guitar..... bass..... great :) saxaphone and keyboard!!!!!!!!! harmonica??? really liking whatever effect is on it though. the groove of the bass..... 8. for your pleasure - effect on the piano is very ashes to ashes.... loving the vibe of this. the tremelo on the guitar is great :) the last three songs go on a bit too long for my taste, but it was fantastic otherwise!! already knew two songs off of this, but really liked all of them. preferred the first half of this one; other reviews mention the first side is more brian ferry and the second brian eno so maybe that's why? (i do like eno's solo stuff more than ferry's though? from what i've heard anyway.) absolutely phenomenal cover. wasn't sure whether to give a four or five, but every dream home... and the cover bring it up :)

28/12/2025 1. you're gonna need someone on your side - liking the guitar at the start. a lot punkier/straight-forward rock than a lot of the smiths' stuff. bass is really nice. lyrics are still very smiths-y though. alright :) 2. glamorous glue - intro is nice.... really like morrissey's voice :( love the guitars in this album, but i think i prefer the melodic jangles of marr. bass is reallly nice in the bridge. kinda country-ish 3. we'll let you know - liking the quieter vibe of this one so far. bass is great :) lyrics are realllllly nice as well. liking the military drumming starting.... the instrumental is really sweet.... the last few lyrics haven't aged the best :/ i get the self-deprecating satire, but considering the shit he's been spewing the past few years, it doesn't leave the best taste in your mouth.... *4. the national front disco - again, not sure the title has aged very well.... sounds nice though :) liking the build up to the chorus, bass is great again. his voice is reallllly nice on this one. liked this one more than i thought i was going to considering the title and his track record. lyrics were surprisingly great, the satire in it was a lot more effective than the previous track..... 5. certain people i know - immediately very country/blues.... not liking this one as much as the others. proper guitar just started, liking a lot more. stopped again..... alright, not much more to say. 6. we hate it when our friends become successful - always liked the more introspective smiths' songs more than the satirical ones just making fun of whoever morrissey decided to hate whenever he wrote the lyrics. so not sure about this one. the guitar,especially in the chorus, sounds very 2010s indie..... not a fan. too pop-rock, but not in a good way. guitar is still nice though, as well as bass. 7. you're the one for me, fatty - liking the sound immediately. half of the lyrics in this album are really great and the other half are written by a complete twat. morrissey is either up to some jekyll and hyde shit in this album or slowly evolving into the complete twat he is nowadays. bass is really nice in this one. again, alright, nice to listen to, but not much more. *8. seasick, yet still docked - liking the start.... bit eerie. guitar and bass are really great immediately. liking the quieter, more mellow parts of this album. lyrics are fantastic. halfway through, really beautiful. his voice is really lovely in this. liking the quieter, more mellow parts of this album. really nice ending. like the violin-esque guitar towards the end. a lot dreamier :) *9. i know it's gonna happen someday - intro is great!! liking the different recordings and the fuzz.... with that really nice instrumental behind it. very 60s pop.... love it. loving the vocals and the lyrics in this one. wow. so lovely..... reminded of the we hate it.... when morrissey stops being such an arrogant bastard, his music is completely beautiful. liking the brass(?) instrument.... but all the instruments are sooo good. ending is great. phenomenal tune. *10. tomorrow - liking it already.... bass great. guitar great. lyrics are great again! liking the last few songs alot more than the others.... shame it's ending just as it's getting great lol. vocals are reallllllly great again. love how melodramatic literally all of his songs are. real nice ending love the reverb on the guitar and then the really sweet piano at the end :) despite being a massive(!!!!!!!) fan of the smiths, i've never listened to any of morrissey's solo stuff, mainly because of his reputation for being an absolute prick. at first, even though i enjoyed the songs, i just wished i was listening to a smiths album, but the last three songs were reallllly fantastic :) manchester!!!!!!

29/12/2025 1. the girl from ipanema - the guitar is realllllllly nice.... don't know what he's saying, but it's very relaxing. her voice is also very relaxing.... saxaphone!!!!! loving the drums in this. saxaphone is very soft.... whispery.... so cooolll...... 2. doralice - fun intro. again, don't lnow what he's saying, but love his voice <3 saxaphone solo!!!! realllly soft and nice. *3. para machuchar meu coracao - not much else to say, especially because i can't understand the lyrics..... just enjoying listening to it. loving when the saxaphone starts. 4. desafinado - bass is nice in this album. love how tender these songs sound.... saxaphone save me.... *5. corcovado (quiet nights of quiet stars) - the piano..... the vocals.... saxaphone just started!!! the bass, piano and drums together <3 *6. so danço samba - don't know what he's saying, but it sounds a fun song :) loving the saxaphone break.... too busy dancing to type, sorry! so much groove. probably my favourite so far *7. o grande amor - a lot more dramatic from the intro.... guitar and drums started, cool again. very moody saxaphone. piano is lovely.... loving the bassline. great ending! 8. vivo sonhando - nothing new to say. saxaphone is crazy throughout. really cool album, very nice and relaxing to listen to. definitely didn't feel like 40 mins. will be relistening to this one again :)

30/12/2025 1. a minor place - kinda folksy. not sure how i feel about the vocals.... warming on me as the song progresses. liking the keyboard on the bridge. alright, didn't not enjoy it, but didn't feel particularly strongly either. rhyme of the lyrics sometimes feels a bit forced, some words feel a bit shoehorned in? 2. nomadic revery (all around) - the lyrics are very poetic, had to get them up as i'm typing for closer inspection (i usually do this after listening to a song/album) i like them on the page, but doesn't really work for me in song form. not sure how i feel about this one. liking the electric guitar towards the end. 3. i see a darkness - liking the start so far. the piano is really nice. liking the call/response vocals.... lyrics are a bit emo.... i know it's a very sincere song, but the lyrics just seem a bit cliche?? i'm not disliking it, but i don't know how i'm going to keep listening to this for another half hour. bit subdued and bleak to listen to at length. just got to chorus, more upbeat. 4. another day full of dread - more of the other songs basically. chorus got a bit annoying. 5. death to everyone - drums and bass are nice immediately. sadly, for me anyway, it is just as slow as the rest of the songs so far. liking the sounds in the chorus! lyrics are a bit try-hard edgy? i like the absurdist themes, but it just sounds depressing with that funeral-durge pace. r/im14andthisisdeep. 6. knockturne - literally nothing to say. not bad background music, but can't see myself listening to this one again. 7. madeleine-mary - louder!!!! still painfully slow, but i'll take what i can get. all the songs are blending into one. aaaahhhh. 8. song for the new breed - more gospel-y i guess? still incredibly slow, feels like it's meant to be tender and honest, but just feels incredibly dull and a bit too pretentious in places. *9. today i was an evil one - liking the horns on this one. give a bit of energy!!!! more country vibes. probably because the volume's been turned up a bit. musically feels like it's taking itself a bit less seriously on this one, gives the lyrics a bit of levity. voice has deffo grown on me throughout this album though :) 10. black - back to minimalism :( just because the lyrics are depressing doesn't mean the music has to make you want to kill yourself. to me, it feels like a bad attempt at leonard cohen. *11. raining in darling - so glad this is almost over. i haven't hated the songs, i just haven't liked them either, which is somehow worse because i can't power through out of sheer anger and annoyance. this one is actually quite nice as well, which is really annoying me lol. if the rest of this album was like this, i would have really liked it!!! very sweet love song. bit of an abrupt ending though? it's not a bad album at all, but in a list of the best albums ever, i don't see how this was included! i might be missing some sort of historical context though? because that's the only explanation i can see. it's alright i guess. won't be running to listen to it again.

31/12/2025 (happy almost new year!) 1. betray - very fast drums! liking the chorus. maybe too much energy for me though. going from yesterday's album to this is giving me whiplash. liking the shift towards the end, more groovy. 2. it follows - the bass at the start! guitar is realllly great. not a fan of the shouty vocals, but i understand why people would like it. like the whistling at the end *3. think again - the guitar at the start rocks.... can hear the bass in this one more :) the guitar is really great, warming up to the vocals. just got to the bass solo! *4. look back & laugh - guitar intro is great again. liking the speaking vocals, but still not the biggest fan of the shouting. drumming is really nice. bass is great. warmed up to the vocals. liking the bits out of the chorus. a lot more optimistic than i was expecting from a punk album, admittedly though, i don't know much at all about hardcore. 5. sob story - currently relistening because i was follow along with the lyrics, got distracted and lost where i was and could not understand any of the words he was saying. too american for me. bass is really great in this album, thought it'd be more like metal where i couldn't hear it at all. 6. no reason - again, bass is really nice. guitar's really nice. bass is insane! the vocals throughout this album sometimes get a bit quiet and hard to hear. the past two songs haven't been synced with the lyrics and i cannot understand what is happening lol. 7. little friend - guitar nice. getting a bit sick of the shouting vocals, but with songs this short i can't really complain. loving the stopping and starting. bass is also great again. lots of tempo changes :) 8. out of step - had a break to watch corrie lol. bass is realllly nice again. his voice is nice when it's speaking, but it's not my thing when he's shouting. also why i don't like metal. drums are reall great as well. *9. cashing in - liking the guitar in this one. like when it goes higher. guitar riffs are great. wizard of oz mention <3 even though i like punk music, i've never really listened to hardcore, mainly sticking to uk punk. wasn't sure about the shouty vocals at the start, but grew on me throughout, even if they're still not really my thing. short and sweet. will def give another relisten soon :)

01/01/2026 (happy new year!) *1. red morning light - guitar is very 2000s rock. not sure about the vocals.... liking the two guitars. vocals growing on me? i think. turn the bass up!! 2. happy alone - vocals have lost all appeal again. too whiny.... this is too cliche of the worst aspects of indie pop rock. the chorus is alright, i really like the vocals, but the verses are just bland. don't like the bells? feel a bit out of place. the lyrics aren't that great either. guitar solo is nice. kinda surfy? only ever heard snippests of sex on fire and did not think they sounded as rocky as this. *3. wasted time - guitar is really nice. bass as well. constantly flip-flopping on how i feel about the vocals. the whiny sound gets on my nerves sometimes, especially during the quiet bits, but also sounds really great sometimes. guitar solos are really great. liking the country sounds. drums are nice. 4. joe's head - immediately a softer sound. electric guitar started and is so indie. not fond of this one. vocals have def grown on me though, really liking them now. kinda jeffery lee pierce vibes? maybe just bc it's southern rock? piano at end is nice. *5. trani - do not like the vocals. what is he even saying?? enunciate more.... vocals are growing on me actually. this is a bit slow and quiet for me.... guitar solo just started, reallll great :) liking the lyrics. got better as the song went on. ending was nice. 6. california waiting - immediately very indie rock riff. can actually hear the bass in this one :) guitar is really great throughout this album. vocals are great in the louder, rockier parts, but start to grate during the quieter moments. like a squeakier bob dylan. 7. spiral staircase - punkier. liking the rockabilly sound :) bass and drums stand out more in this song. don't like the clapping bit. 8. molly's chambers - liking the guitar in this. is there a tambourine? liking it. nice :) *9. genius - still can't tell whether i hate or love the vocals. the guitar is great in this. loving the energy. can hear bass!!!! screeching guitar solo!!! *10. dusty - slide guitar? heavy brian jonestown massacre vibes. bass!! grrooooovy. bluuuessyyy..... thought i wasn't gonna like this one from the quieter sound, but loving it so far! guitar solo great! 11. holly roller novocaine - bass intro!! drums are great as well. after realising the brian jonestown vibes i can't stop thinking about how similar this sounds. guitar solo is crazy in this. stop clapping. loving the organ. 12. talihina sky - immediately, a bit too stomp and clap.... not enjoying this one as much, but still would be nice as background music. as someone who doesn't usually like 2000s indie music, i didn't want to like a kings of leon album, but i actually loved it. i love southern american rock/blues/country/gospel stuff (the gun club <333) so i can't help liking this. wasn't sure about the vocals at first, but they grew on me throughout and i ended up really liking them. wanted to start this thing to listen to stuff i wouldn't usually, but didn't expect to rethink my prejudice against indie rock.

05/01/2026 1. blue orchid - liking the intro.... not sure about the vocals..... the drumming is really nice. guitar as well. is there any bass at all though?? actually don't think so???? bit boring, but alright as background music, i guess? 2. the nurse - marimba??? nice with the piano though. bit twee. like the maraca i guess. begging for some bass to appear. what is happening right now. really not fond of that one, but appreciate that they were trying to experiment, even if it isn't for me at all. 3. my doorbell - immediately do not like this. this is what i was thinking of when i worried about listening to 2000s indie rock. not looking forward to ten more songs of this...... piano is nice. these lyrics are so annoying and his vocals are not for me. one of the worst songs i have probably ever listened to. 4. forever for her (is over for me) - guitar is nice. like the piano as well. still boring and don't like the vocals. why is the marimba back.... the lyrics are annoying still as well. 5. little ghost - his voice is so annoying oh my god. the female singer is nice though. like the country inspired sound though. far too twee. 6. the denial twist - drums seem so loud compared to any of the other instruments?? still don't like the lyrics or his vocals. chorus is nice. 7. white moon - piano is really lovely. shame he's singing over it.... like the lyrics more, but faaarr too rhymey. this did not need to be this long... 8. instinct blues - guitar is reaaaalllllly nice.... still not entirely found of his voice, his vocals work better with the louder, distorted, rockier sound. lyrics are still annnoying. loving the screeches of the guitar. drums are nice as welll. still cannot hear any bass though!!! enjoyed it the most out of any song so far but probably wouldn't listen to again. 9. passive manipulation - different vocals. still not fond of them, but like them more. so glad this is so short. 10. take, take, take - he sounds like he's trying to sound like a warbly version of mick jagger in you can't always get what you want. rita hayworth mention <3 lyrics are stilll annoying though. 11. as ugly as i seem - liking the folksier acoustic guitar. liking this one. his vocals are still grating but i could maybe warm up to them if the rest of the album was like this. 12. red rain - liking the guitar at the start... liking this one more. the guitar and the drums are really great :) vocals are both annoying and alright at the same time. getting a bit repetitive and grating now. bell seems a bit too quirky. 13. i'm lonely (but i ain't that lonely yet) - very glad this album is ending. more gospel sounding. piano is nice. lyrics are better, but that's not saying much... how is there still a minute left. his voice is so bad it's making me want to kill myself. reaffirmed my dislike for indie rock after listening to that one kings of leon album. did not like any of the songs, it felt like they were trying too hard to be quirky and ended up contrived and annoying. this is the sort of music they torture people with at cia black sites.

06/01/2026 1. box of rain - bass is really nice :) like the country guitar... lyrics are nice as well. reeaaally like the dreamy, surreal vibe. read some of the reviews on here before listening and i don't get all the complaining about his voice. it's nice! really liked this one. assumed they were more rock from the name, didn't know it was so americana/country :) 2. friend of the devil - great guitars in the intro. bass still really great! drums are nice as well. love the lyrics. country ballad. 3. sugar magnolia - ooooh. liking the start. bass is really phenomenal.... like the maraca at the end... *4. operator - guitar at the start is realllllllllyy great. all the instruments are really nice :) harmonica! *5. candyman - loving the vocals in this one, especially with the guitar. as much as i'm really liking these songs, it doesn't grab me compared to how someone like neil young does. more mellow i guess? loving the guitar solo. realllllly sweet :) organ in the back is reallly great. loving how the intensity is building..... *6. ripple - bass is reaally great again. love the chorus... really lovely lyrics and vocals. *7. brokedown palace - piano! wasn't feeling the mellow, folksy-country vibe at the start of listening, but have fully gotten into it now. loving the lyrics of these songs <3 8. till the morning comes - drums and bass are realllly nice..... more rockier than the other songs. 9. attics of my life - the start is reallllllly nice. very soft... like a choir. the lyrics are really sweet again.... 10. trucking - bluesier!! as someone who isn't american or raised by hippies, i had no idea what to expect from the grateful dead. somewhere along the way of hearing about them, i just assumed they were a rock/metal band (i think because of the name??). really liked the country sound though! started liking it more as the album progressed, will have to go back and listen again later - especially the first few songs :)

07/01/2025 1. el cumbanchero - like the maracas. like the vocals :) lots of congas.... guitar is really nice.... 2. billumba-palo congo - liking the spoken word bit at the start.... the drums are reallly nice. liking the call and response in these songs. definitely not bad to listen to, but gets a bit repetitive after six minutes and drags with not many instruments *3. choferito-plena - oooh liking this one more immediately. the guitar is reallllly nice with the drums. like the scratchy washboard-y sound? (not sure what instrument it is...) whistle is nice! bass at the end was nice. 4. asabache - lots of drums... 5. simba - drums are realllly nice in this album. liking the vocals :) whistle again! liking the cowbell? sound. not sure how if i love or hate the bird-like vocals.... *6. rhapsodia del maravilloso - immediately guitar is realllly nice. bass as well :) about halfway trhough, loving this one so far! really nice ending 7. aggo elegua - liking the vocals again :) will have to look up what the lyrics mean later.... for me, the songs just go on for too long and end up dragging after about three minutes of the same thing over and over.... *8. tribilin cantore - liking the tracks with guitar more, so hopeful for this one :) liking the female vocals especially through this album. not sure if i would listen to most of these songs again, but i will definitely give the ones i liked the most another listen, a relisten, especially without the rest of the album with it might help me to like some of the songs more? a lot of the songs went on for longer than needed, which just ended up dragging... especially on the tracks with few instruments (although i enjoyed the drumming on asabache, it got stale after a while). enjoyed it though, wasn't as bad as the white stripes!

08/01/2026 1. hello morning - immediately very noisy! also very short! 2. assassins - liking the intro! like the guitars and computer-y distortion.... drums and bass are realllly great.... distorted vocals realllly nice as well! loving the intensity and energy in this. great ending as well :) *3. dracula mountain - bass is immediately fantastic!! love how it manages to stand out against all the noise :) tempo change at the minute mark is ggggrrrreeeat!!! drumming is fantastic. having a short break looking through the reviews after this one finished, how is there no electric guitar??? only bass! 4. 2 towers - guitar?? in this is crazy!!! drums are also insane??!! two mins left and reallly enjoying it :) starting to give me a headache though..... really liked it, but this one was a bit too long for me. reeeallly enjoying the songs (more than i expected) but not sure if i can listen to the rest of the tracks continuously..... loving the screeching at the end. 5. on fire - liking the stopping and starting :) craazzzzzzy sounds..... 6. crown of storms - not much else to say.... tapping my foot in a frenzy right now..... great ending! 7. longstockings - had to take a break between the last song and this one. whirry noises. this one is a bit quieter :) as much as i'm enjoying it, my headache has started again..... the constant noise is also getting a bit repetitive. listening to individual tracks would def be better 8. wonderful rainbow - sounds kinda sitar-like at the start.... nice break from the barrage of noise :) 9. 30,000 monkies - liking the energy of this one immediately :) nothing more to say, similar to the other songs. *10. duel in the deep - liking the intro more than the other songs.... verrry atmospheric. loving the twanging...... reminds me of the electrician by the walker brothers. the effects on the bass about a minute and a half in kind-of sounds like an acid house song. love the fuzz at the end! from the name and the cover, thought this was some twee indie band, so was not looking forwards to it, but very pleasantly surprised by it! not sure if i'll relisten to the album anytime soon, but really enjoyed it :) duel in the deep and dracula mountain stood out to me as favourites but listening to them as an album definitely got a bit repetitive and hurt my head.

09/01/2025 1. red intro - like the choir in the back :) lyrics are reaaallly nice. like how the song titles are incorporated in them. 2. how many mics - love how the tracks fade into each other. love lauryn hill.... the lyrics are phenomenal! instrumentals/backing track didn't stand out, but the focus on the lyrics more than made up for it! 3. ready or not - not massive on the start, probably because the singing section has been used in sooo many adverts it's just become an advert song for me. her singing is reallly fantastic though!!! really loving the verses. *4. zealots - loving the sample at the start..... these lyrics are peak..... beat just dropped!! how can lauryn hill both rap and sing soooo wellll!!!!! *5. the beast - oooh the scratching at the start!!! immediately alllll the vocals are fantastic! the wordplay is insane in all these tracks............ what is this skit.... *6. fu-gee-la - bass at the beginning is nice.... loving this beat. lauryn hill's singing is incredible.... 7. family business - the guitar in this is reallly nice. reaally nice :) *8. killing me softly with his song - if you don't like this, kill yourself!!!! lauryn hill!!!! loving the organ and the sitar.... bass is great! 9. the score - liking the scratching again! lyrics are insane still :) *10. the mask - immediately liking the beat! the bass is aedwjfkm so goood!!!! loving the female touch hill adds to this album, especially with the more masculine 90s hip-hop scene..... loving the trumpet sampling. *11. cowboys - the sitar is back! yodelling? ralph bakshi reference!!!?? really great!!! 12. no woman, no cry - the guitar is a nice change up :) beat is a bit stomp-and-clap-esque for me... not the biggest fan of reggae, so didn't enjoy this one as much, but still really nice :) *13. manifest/outro - liking the intro... guitar is reallllly nice! scratching as well!! crazy lyrics <3 reaaaallllly loved this one :) lots of the reviews were complaining about the skits, but i think they're alright!!! the lyrics are absolutely insane, feel like i need to read a dictionary or something now.....

10/01/2026 1. jailbreak - liking the bass :) vocals are really nice as well! guitar solo is reallllly nice. "hey female"????? 70s rock band being a bit misogynistic is not new, but female is odd?? *2. emerald - liking the sound of this one more immediately... the guitar(s?) are reaaaallly nice! bass and vocals still great as well :) reeealllly nice ending!! *3. southbound - loving the chorus of this. a bit mellower than the previous track... lyrics are very bittersweet... love it <3 4. rosalie (cowgirl's song) - back to rockier. his voice is a lot smoother than i was expecting for a hard rock album, which is a very happy surprise for me! instrumentals are still great - love the guitar riff in the chorus! 5. dancing in the moonlight (it's caught me in it's spotlight) - guitar and bass is a bit groovier at the start... not as big on this one as i was the other ones, but not even thirty secs in yet.... saxaphone!!!! bass is great! saxaphone solo!!!!!! love when the guitar kicks in... ending reallllly great :) 6. massacre - loving the way the songs are fading into each other... drums are fantastic on this one. bass and guitar fantastic as well!! guitar solo is reallly great!!! lyrics are sososo good! *7. still in love with you - immediately sounds softer.... loving the vibe of this one.... reallly sweet instruments and vocals.... very groovy bass. 8. johnny the fox meets jimmy the weed - halfway through! loving it but not sure how i'm going to get through another half lol. oooh funkier.... very reminiscent of tommy the cat....... really loving the vibe of this one. lots of guitar solos in this album! they're really nice, but not sure if i'll feel the same eight more tracks in..... 9. cowboy song - immediately more folksier.... softer guitars are reallly lovely.... love the word coyote.... (don't know why, just nice to say/hear). please stop saying female!!! liking it still now it's gotten louder, but did like the softer sound a bit more. drums in the chorus are nice :) 10. the boys are back in town - have to admit, not massively looking forward to this one.... better when hearing the verses as well as the chorus, but it's too overplayed to feel energetic, especially when i've still got about fourty-odd minutes left halfway through an album!!!!!!! live version is better though :) 11. don't believe a word - had a break :) immediately liking the energy! really liked it, but getting a bit tired of this now and not as good as the other songs. 12. warriors - bassline is really nice. guitar solo really great as well. 13. are you ready? - ready for this album to end. immediately sounds very stadium rock... not crazy about it, but still really nice. would probably like it more if i wasn't waiting for this album to end, because the instruments are still reaaalllly great! 14. suicide - loving the guitar riff on this one! bassline is really great as well... just a bit samey after fourteen songs!!!!!!!! 15. sha-la-la - drum solo is nice and also a great change up!!!!!!!!! going a bit insane right now cannot wait for this to be over! another drum solo!!!!!!! 16. baby drives me crazy - how is this seven minutes long..... liking the groove at the start though. harmonica is nice, along with the other instruments still. reminds me of another song and i can't think what!! 17. the rocker - bass realllly nice. liked this one a lot more than the last few tracks, but still very relieved it's over nowww :) was expecting more of a stadium rock sound (from the little i know about thin lizzy, i already knew they were a 70s/80s hard rock band), but eneded up really loving this one..... but it did not need to be that long. a lot of the songs also sounded fairly similar to each, but i love how they sound so i don't really mind though lol. particularly loved the more mellower songs and it did get a bit too stadium rock towards the end, but maybe i had just become too cynical after an hour and a half of this!!!!!!!

11/01/2026 1. wordy rappinghood - liking the typewriter sound at the start. not massive on the synths.... sound a bit dated. drumming is nice. bass is really great as well. not a surprise from the drummer and bassist of talking heads. can't tell if i like this or not? very fun anyways. sounds very coke-fuelled. getting more into it as the track goes on. ended up really liking it :) 2. genius of love - already know this one from stop making sense and also that one scene in it's always sunny in philadelphia. great bass again! really sweet!! loving the weird synth sounds near the end.... this album is seeming a bit too twee for me. 3. tom tom theme - bit more experimental.... drumming is reallllly great, stops it falling apart. 4. l'elephant - loving the funk sound! distorted/screeching guitar is great as well!! it's in french?? almost three minutes in, getting a bit bored of it now... 5. as above so below - immediately very 80s synths.... bass and drums are great again! liking the rattling sounds. alright as background music, but dragging a bit. also goes on for an unnecessary amount of time.... *6. lorelei - very quirky sounds.... bassline great though!! again, can't tell if i like it or not.... leaning towards dislike at first. guitar riff is also really nice... leaning towards really liking it now about halfway though. wonder if this inspired the cocteau twins song.... like the more dreamy feel of this one compared to the others :) 7. on on on on... - liking the energy in this one.. alright! same things as the rest of the songs.... *8. booming and zooming - synth is reallllly nice in this one. bass and drums great as always. really loved this one :) instrumentals were fantastic! often toed the line between too twee/grating/annoying and being a really fun album, but crossed into annoying a bit too much for me. the first two songs were a really great start, but it dragged in the middle until lorelei. some of the synths and effects seem a bit dated, but as a whole, it doesn't sound like it was made as early as 1981. maybe would enjoy it more in a different mood? will give most of the songs a relisten again later, definitely lorelei and booming and zooming :)

12/01/2026 1. cherub rock - like the drums at the start! very 90s alternative rock, was def expecting that though. guitars are great, especially in the chorus. very angsty... bit emo for me... 2. quiet - love the sound at the start... guitar solo is reallllllly great!! same as the other song... too teenage-angsty 3. today - wasn't mad about it at the start, but just got to the chorus and loving it! beatles lyrics! just not enjoying it.... generally not a big fan of american 90s indie rock, sometimes, the vocals and lyrics get a bit grating. *4. hummer - had a break to go to college and have come back with a full blown cold. not looking forward to the next hour of my life :( the intro to this sounds like one of the songs by lightning bolt i had to listen to a few days ago.... bass is really nice in this one. like the slower, mellower instruments. not looking forward to the vocals though.... just not my thing :/ the lyrics are nicer (at least at the start) in this one though... less whiny/emo. liking the quieter part almost five minutes in... very lovely soft guitar, i know the whole point is the grungey, aggressive guitars, but this is more my jam. love how dreaaammmmyyy it is <3 5. rocket - sounds like a rockier slowdive song. was looking forward to this album going into it as they seemed like a band i would like, but am rethinking this now.... 6. disarm - i can feel my stress rashes getting worse as i get deeper into this song.... liking the more orchestral sound, but his voice is so grating to me and i hate the emo lyrics with that bloody whiny voice. sounds so 90s and i have no nostalgia for it, so i literally do not care!! just boring to me.... not even fun to listen to. 7. soma - please stay quiet..... liking the softer sound... liking the softer vocals more as well. still leaning a bit emo. loving the bass and guitar..... like hummer, but dreamy throughout rather than just at the end. just got loud. killing myself. i like the distortion, but it's too much for me. 8. geek usa - just fuzzy guitars layered on top of each other.... barrage of noise and not in a good way - especially with the bloody vocals on top. love when the songs get dreamy and quieter though!!!! 9. mayonaise - quieter, more psychadelic guitar at the start.... the louder guitar objectively sounds really great, but is just not for me. it seems to be the entire draw of this album though, which is making this a miserable listen. 10. spaceboy - bob dylan reference?? again, loving the more dreamier songs... reallly love the keyboard? (doesn't entirely sound like a keyboard but i cannot think properly right now) in the back.. 11. silverfuck - back to noise :( might try some of these songs on a day where i can actually breathe properly and don't have a headache. really loving the distorted guitar, but cannot connect to the music in any way. about halfway through the song and a gorgeous, soft, wavey guitar has just started.... very echoey, shoegazey.... thinking of different ways to say dreamy..... 12. sweet sweet - thank god this one is shorter. my headache has significantly worsened since starting listening to this.... liked this one though.... *13. luna - liking the start of this. very sweet :) can hear it building up.... not just distorted guitars piled up on each other until it becomes noise!! love the strings in the back. even though i loved this one, cannot say i'm not overjoyed that this is over now... probably not the best album to listen to when all congested with a banging headache. why is this album so long. can't say i would ever listen to any of these songs again.... i really liked the quieter songs, but a lot of this album is constant loud hard/grunge rock, which isn't always my thing. whiny 90s american singers are also a hate of mine (cannot listen to rem, they might be giants or most pavement songs as a result), so did not enjoy the vocals... the softer vocals (like in luna) didn't grate me as much. some of the lyrics were a bit emo and annoying.... but some were also really great! feels like something i'd like on paper, but don't feel anything except sheer boredom when listening to most of the songs :/

13/01/2026 1. where the streets have no name - initially, liking the summary of the themes from wikipedia, but not looking forward to the actual sound of u2 from what i've heard. liking the fade in.... organs are really nice. guitar kinda sounds like the end of a cheesy american high-school movie.... like it was meant to be used in the behind a crane shot. bass is real nice though:) don't know how i feel about the vocals..... he sings every single line very melodramatically. 2. i still haven't found what i'm looking for - not massive on the start... the lyrics are sweet though :) just a bit boring though.... generic mass-appeal love song. doesn't have the energy/newness/not blandness of someone like phil spector to carry it beyond. like the slide guitar at the end though 3. with or without you - still as bland as the previous song about halfway through. lyrics are getting a bit dramatic. melodramatic but without any energy in the music to back it up, just ends up falling flat. *4. bullet the blue sky - drums are nice... liking the guitar a lot more.... more screechy, less boring. bass is still great :) liking his vocals more in this one. the drama of his delivery actually suits the intensity of the music. like the lyrics more... very atmospheric... assuming this is about vietnam? us intervention in general? love the spoken bit in the bridge.... hoping the rest of the album is more like this!!!! 5. running to stand still - love the folksy, twangy guitar at the start. harmonica at the end? not incredible, but wouldn't complain if this one was on in the background... ending is really lovely. 6. red hill mining town - goin down t'pit?? like the bass :) his singing is really great in the chorus, love the guitar and the backing vocals as well. like how the intensity is building throughout. 7. in god's country - at the start, the guitar sounds exactly the same as the first song. like the guitar version of that one coldplay song in the nonce psa. bass is still great. getting better as it goes on though. liking the more screechy guitar towards the end. like the vocalising at the end. 8. trip through your wires - drumming is nice. harmonica again?? not complaining though. like the organ. alright. 9. one tree hill - immediately sounds more dated than the rest of the songs. bit stomp-clap. songs for supermarket shopping. his voice towards the end just sounds strained and annoying. 10. exit - bass is nice. like the more atmospheric feel of this one. 11. mothers of the disappeared - bass still great. like the softer sound.... ending is nice :) despite never having consciously listened to any u2 song ever (probably heard one in the background somewhere), i was not looking forward to this album because of their reputation as basically proto-coldplay. did like some of the lyrics, especially loved the biblical elements, but the music was just so generic. the only song i really enjoyed was bullet the blue sky, which i realllllly loved. might listen to their earlier albums in the hopes it's more like that song. the start and end of the album were a bit of a slog, only liked tracks four to seven. sounds more modern than 1987, but not that much and just dull to listen to! maybe i'm biased because of their bad reputation, but i wouldn't listen most of this album again.

14/01/2026 *1. message in a bottle - immediately liking the guitar and bass.... kinda jangly... like the vocals, but not sure about the accent??? is this appropriation? loving the prechorus. and also the chorus! *2. reggatta de blanc - loving the drumming!! guitar is really great.... kinda dreamy. very dreamy now. like the synth? electronic noise in the back. love how it's building up... bass and guitar and drums together are phenomenal! *3. it's alright for you - liking the punky vibe at the start!!! kinda jazzy bass.. instruments are great again!!! cannot tell if he is trying to put on a rasta accent again or american one.... suits the song though! guitar solo bangs!!!!!!! 4. bring on the night - liking the vibe of this one.... bass is great again :) liking the lyrics of all these songs as well. liking the screechy guitar.... bassline with it is real nice. 5. deathwish - love the drums at the start. loving the tempo change! bass <3 like the descending, droning synth(?) in the back of some parts.... 6. walking on the moon - liking the drums and bass at the start.... very noir-ish.... who told sting to make an album where he put on a jamaican accent..... not as enjoyable as the other songs, but still reaallly enjoyed listening to it. *7. on any other day - like the spoken intro immediately into that music!! really loving the vocals!! reaaallly great lyrics! just fun!!! bassline in the chorus is killlllleeerr <3 drums are fantastic! 8. the bed's too big without you - bassline is sooo good again!!! liking the maracas... drums are great!! *9. contact - ooooh loving it immediately.... bloody love that bass with the synth.... reminds me of the stranglers.... drumming is superb as ever.... very jangly! *10. does everyone stare - liking the piano and the bass together... liking the opera recording in the back... drums are great as well.. liking the voyeuristic lyrics... very peeping tom. 11. no time this time - drumming in intro is great! love the energy!!! chorus is great!!! drumming is great!!! guitar and bass are great!!! love the ending! really loved this one, definitely not sure if the accent ages well (not sure if it was ok when it was released either), but the music is phenomenal! not sure if it deserves five stars, but i loved every song on the album and feel that four is too low :)

15/01/2026 (18th birthday!!!!) *1. vento de maio - really lovely guitars at the start..... very dreamy.... bit psychadelic? wow her singing is so beautiful!!! the drums and the beat drop??? the bass???? oh my god this is soooooooooooo gooooooood!!!!!!!! the synths are kinda sinister.... wish i knew what she was saying.... will have to look up lyrics later :) *2. sai dessa - oooh very jazzy.... loving the guitar and her vocalising together... bass is soooo good.... drums are sooo goood..... her voice is incredible!!! oooo love the growl in her voice!!!! 3. tiro ao alvaro - her voice is soo nice..... woawwww...... love the vocalising at the end..... 4. so deus e quem sabe - oooooo smooooth.... bass is real nice. loving the backing vocals.. loving this guitar... the synths are reallly nice. *5. o que foi feito devera (de vera) - start is reminding me of the beach boys.... the guitar with her voice is incredible.... love the little sounds in the back (the tinging, the rattling....). lovelovelove the backing vocals. oooh the drums..... the change-up.... the vocals together are heavenly!!! the intensity towards the end!! 6. nova estacao - liking the start.... very moody. lovely!!!!!! *7. saudade eterna - oooo funkier.... piano is lovely.... bass is great.... tambourine? is great.... aaaaaghgh!!!!!! *8. outro cais - dreamier again.... sounds very melancholy. love the synths... loving how it's building towards the end. love it!!!!! 9. rebento - kinda bluesy sounding with the piano and humming. her voice is so gorgeous..... need to listen to her other albums after this!!! again, loving the build up! her voice is incredible throughout.... *10. o trem azul - very lovely voice. very funky guitar and bass.... the saxaphone!!!!! the vocalising with the guitar!!!!! the choral backing vocals!!! 11. o medo de amar e o medo de ser livre - guitar at the start sounds a bit rockier. still funky bass. the bongos? are sossosooso gooooood. dying right now. her singing is phenomenal!!! guitar is peak!!!! 12. se eu quiser falar com deus - slower vibe..... love how it builds up towards the chorus. backing vocals!!! 13. aprendendo jogar - the bass!!!! the guitar!!!!! her voice!!!!!!!!!!!! loved!!!!! this album!!!!! absolutely my thing!!!!! 10/10 no notes!!!! i don't care if it's a compliation album - it still bangs!!!!!!!!

17/01/2026 1. underground - i've heard tom waits' vocals aren't for everyone and i think i might be included in that.... the guitar is nice though. not sure how i feel about this.... *2. shore leave - really loving the guitar at the start... all the instruments are reallly nice.... weird but veryvery atmospheric. his voice is alooooot better for me in this. love the spoken word bits. kinda jazzy? love the lyrics!! guitar solo is real nice. 3. dave the butcher - very carnival-esque... halfway through the song, is this just instrumental? 4. johnsburg, illinois - piano at the start is really nice.... sounds a lot tender than the other songs so far. love the bass on all of the songs, but this one especially... 5. 16 shells from a 30.6 - ooo liking the drums... very bluesy vocals. a lot different from the previous song, but liking the veering changeups in tone! they all fit the lyrics and create a realllly nice mood.... liking it more as it goes on... reaally loving the clanging sounds. 6. town with no cheer - bagpipes? not as sure on this one, but i'm liking the lyrics :) accordion is nice :) getting into it more as it goes on, but feels a bit overly long? not egregiously though.... 7. in the neighbourhood - like the brass band feel. lyrics are phenomenal throughout! drums are realllly nice :) *8. just another sucker on the vine - really liking the start so far.... sounds kinda french? may just be the accordian?? realllllllllly loving it <3 sounds very sweet/sentimental/generally lovely.... love the horns. really liking the little instrumental breaks. 9. frank's wild years - very jazzy 80s keyboard? organ? really loving the spoken word parts in this album. looooove the lyrics. sleasy vibe like death of a ladies man. final lyric is great!!! 10. swordfishtrombone - bass is great!!!! really great storytelling throughout. 11. down, down, down - had a break between the last one and this one. bass is still great! drums are really nice as well. really liked the keyboard? organ? 12. soldier's things - gentler piano intro.... bass phenomenal! very moody... piano is beautiful. 13. gin soaked boy - def bluesier/rockier. liked it :) 14. trouble's braids - more spoken word. liking the instrumentation... short one! *15. rainbirds - more of a gentle start... liking the piano and bass again. reminding me of track 8, more of a sentimental instrumental tune.... really nice ending to this album! kindof listened to a few tracks from this album before, but never took the time to listen to the full album, this is one of the ones i wanted to show up sooner rather than late, and i'm very glad it did!! even for the songs i enjoyed less, like dave the butcher, i still loved the mood it gave off! very excited for the other tom waits albums to show up, but hoping i can have a little break to let it digest :)

18/01/2026 1. fine time - liking initial synths. liking the amount of layering, but not sure how to feel, espec compared to their earlier stuff. not massive about the drum machine. i get to a point i don't like and then just as i'm starting to get annoyed, it changes to a really great bit and the cycle keeps repeating!! really liking the beat drops and the insane sounding synths. goat sound effect??? definitely grew on me throughout! *2. all the way - reallllly great bass! peter hook <3 really like bernard sumner's vocals. like the lyrics as well. very sweet. kinda jangly :) 3. love less - colder synths at the start. coughing?? love the drums. really lovely lyrics again.... 4. round and round - housey again! inital thoughts, it does sound a little dated... liking the echoing vocals. realllllly love the squelchy synths. *5. guilty partner - bass is great throughout, but immediately stands out more for me! more goth-y? love the growl in sumner's vocals :) *6. run - double guitar is really great!! bass is killer as always! the lyrics are reaaal nice. lovely ending. love the synth. a lot of new order songs always sound very sentimental and sweet :) maybe just nostalgia? 7. mr disco - back to dance music. really loving the synths. great! *8. vanishing point - really love the chorus. bass and guitar bang!!! 9. dream attack - like the name of this one. really liking the backing vocals. bass and synth are really nice :) manchester!!!! googled the other new order albums on this list and lies power and corruption isn't even on it!!!! how?!!! not finished yet, currently stuck between a four and a five... feel like it's not taken as seriously/rated as highly because it's (80s) dance music? reaally loved it but i would still prefer earlier new order :)

19/01/2026 *1. i feel the earth move - immediately liking the piano. her voice is sooo nice... bass is great as well. like a more subdued janis joplin. 2. so far away - really lovely guitar and piano together.... realllly phenomenal lyrics. loving the overlapping vocals. really liking this, but it is a bit boring to me.... sorry! 3. it's too late - really liking the bass in these songs... this one sounds a bit bluesier? jazzier? saxaphone!!!! 4. home again - love these lyrics... 5. beautiful - really sweet lyrics... love the bridge. great instrumentations... songs are sounding a little bit samey at this point, but still really enjoying them :) *6. way over yonder - very soulful.... love her lyrics... saxaphone is back!!! 7. you've got a friend - realllly love the strings. little bit long, but really liking this album. 8. where you lead - liking the guitar and keyboard together. very tired and the tracks are blending into one in my head. just a bit too easy-listening for me, but still really nice to listen to. 9. will you love me tomorrow? - same thoughts as the prev song basically. really nice guitar :) *10. smackwater jack - immediately very bluesy... liking this one. love all of the instruments, but especially the bass!! love the growl in her voice at parts and the backing vocals. saxaphone is back!!!! 11. tapestry - love the lyrics. 12.

20/01/2026 *1. dead leaves and the dirty ground - liking the distorted, screechy guitar at the start.... immediately a looooot better than that godawful white stripes album i had to listen to. vocals just started....... still not as bad, but not sure whether i will listen to this one. really great guitar saves it though. btech brian jonestown massacre. 2. hotel yorba - very twee...... not a fan. 3. i'm finding it harder to be a gentleman - like the guitar. very 70s rock. piano is reallly nice as well. not sure about the lyrics though?? very tired right now and despite the rock sound, i am soooo close to just falling asleeep :( *4. fell in love with a girl - really liked this as a kid. was obsessed with the music video. woke me up a bit. reaaallly liking the energy in this one. nice and quick! *5. expecting - guitar is reallly nice throughout, but it just doesn't grab me especially :/ still liked it. 6. little room - was warming up to the vocals, but without the guitar in the background, not the biggest fan... glad it was so short 7. the union forever - loving the intro.... liking this one. guitar just stopped. not a fan anymore... 8. the same boy you've always known - more folksier... same as the other songs really.... almost falling asleep halfway through all of the (rock!) songs is not a sign of an album that i like.... 9. we're going to be friends - indie twee shit. not my thing. reading the reviews and am sick of nostalgic millenials who proclaim jack white as the second coming because he wrote shit tunes when they were young. 10. offend in every way - how are there six songs left????? i am so tired right now, considering dnf-ing..... *11. i think i smell a rat - liking this one actually. his vocals work a bit better on this one? like the mix of quiet and loud bits. 12. aluminum - distorted vocals are incredibly annoying, but the rest of the instruments are reeaaall nice. if jack white shut up for once, this could actually sound good. 13. i can't wait - same as the rest... 14. now mary - quieter.... electric guitar just started. the guitar was the only thing saving this album at the start, but it's really starting to get on my nerves now. so glad this one is short. 15. i can learn - same as the last song, but not as short. 16. this protector - so glad this is over and i can go to bed. spoken word bit is a bit quiet?? shit ending for a shit album. after a few tracks, i began to rethink my opinion on the white stripes (after listening to get behind me satan, which is somehow even worse than any of the metal albums i've had to listen to), but it absolutely nosedived towards the middle of the album. would rather just listen to the bands they were so obviously inspired by. not as bad as the other one :/ not saying much though….

21/01/2025 *1. all i want - really excited for this album. immediately love the guitar. very intricate! love her voice <3 the lyrics are great!!! 2. my old man - piano now.... lovelvoelove the bridge. reallllly lovely :) *3. little green - loving the guitar immediately, realllllly moving. *4. carey - love the backing vocals. bass is great!!! chorus is fantastic!!!! 5. blue - piano again! very vulnerable.... :( 6. california - really liking the mix of guitar and piano songs. love how rhythmically and emotionally she sings.... her voice is phenomenal..... slide guitar!!! *7. this flight tonight - guitar reminds me of nick drake. realllllly loving it!!!!! oooooooooo just got to part where the audio changes!!!!!!??? crazy!!!!! 8. river - jingle bells??? lyrics just started, added to christmas mix :) 9. a case of you - fantastic voice!!!! phenomenal lyrics!!! great guitar!!!!! 10. the last time i saw richard - lovely piano.... great!!!!!!! completely loved this album. was really looking forward to it because i only really know coyote and it's one of my favourite songs, so have been meaning to listen to more joni mitchell. every single song was completely fantastic, generally liked the guitar ones more than the piano ones, but they are all absolutely phenomenal!! <3

22/01/2026 1. can't get enough - just generic classic rock really.... sounds alright but that's it really. two and a half minutes in this is just sooo boring. bass is nice i guess. 2. rock steady - just a bit bland. the instruments are nice, but it's just a lot of nothing. vocals are just soooooo boring. sounds alright, but gives nothing!!! 3. ready for love - liking the start of this one a bit more.... the vocals are doing nothing for me. this is the sort of stuff they play on absolute classic rock...... why is this so long. liked it more at the start, but just evolved into stadium rock again. *4. don't let me down - liking the female backing vocals. kinda gospel-y. saxaphone!!!!!! redeems it from shit. love the guitar solo and the bass. instruments are really good, but again, i don't feel anything! 5. bad company - same as the others really. glad this album is on the shorter side. 6. the way i choose - one minute in i don't think i can do four minutes more of this..... every single one of these songs sounds exactly the same. saxaphone cannot save this one.... 7. movin on - more energy. vocals just started all the energy has gone. how can such good musicians make such a boring album. *8. seagull - more folksier. still boring and too long! really great instruments but oh my god this is the most boring thing i've ever listened to. not sure i needed to listen to this before i die. hard/stadium rock is generally something i don't like, so wasn't massively surprised by my dislike, but didn't expect to find it so boring!

23/01/2026 *1. cecilia ann - really loving the guitars and vocals. oh it's instrumental lol kinda surfy? fantastic!! 2. rock music - always found the vocals of the pixies to be toeing the line between annoying and really nice, and this is no exception. bit too screamy. like metal. realllly love the guitar. 3. velouria - not mad about his singing voice either, but i certainly like it more. more like generic 90s alt rock. stillll realllllly nice though. still 10000x better than the smashing pumpkins! love the kinda ufo electronic sound. love the ending. 4. allison - great drums at the start. nice! 5. is she weird - like the bass. the vocals have grown on me. *6. ana - bit softer.... dreamier... guitar is phenomenal in this album :) more psychadelic. 7. all over the world - like the spoken word at the start.... just got to the loud part!! love the quick stop and start sound! loving the lyrics! 8. dig for fire - not much to say! didn't enjoy it as much as the other ones, but still realllly nice to listen to! 9. down to the well - guitar is crazy!! 10. the happening - guitar at the start reminds me a bit of dog food by iggy pop.... lovelovelove the guitar that starts with the lyrics. bass is sooo good as well. 11. blown away - like the kinda echoey vocals. love how screechy the guitar is in the solo just before minute in.... 12. hang wire - not as big a fan of the shoutier vocals in the chorus of this. works for the song though. *13. stormy weather - really love the start... not much to say other than great!!! 14. havalina - really sweet <3 kinda shoegazey? really loved this one! generally not a fan of 90s american rock, but it’s really good when the vocals aren’t whiny and shit!

06/02/2026 (we're so back!!!!) 1. traveller - not massive on this immediately.... btech 808 state? like the sax sounding thing though. kinda trancey? like a meditative vibe. really don't know how to feel about this... reeaaally liking the drums about two mins in. liking the bass about three mins in. how is there seven minutes left. four mins left..... violins????? reallllly liking them. really loving the ending. 2. butterfly - this is the 90s drum and bass i was expecting from skimming over the description. liking the sitar. the flutes are already annoying me a bit though. sounds a bit dated - incredibly 90s. *3. sutrix - liking the start more.... about a minute in and am enjoying it a lot more. loving the synths combined with the vocals. more grimier?? about three minutes on and it is getting a bit long now. understand why, it's a trance album, but listening to this sat in my room just before going to bed maybe isn't the best atmosphere?? 4. mombasstic - very 90s again.... not in a good way. the aural equivalent of that fruitger aero shit. some of the sounds are nice, but it sounds so dated and overly long to me that it ends up falling flat. like the reversing at the end. 5. decca - like the synths in the back. what is happening. i don't know how to feel. at least it's not boring. think i kindof like it? 6. eclipse - like how the last track merged into this one. minute in not liking it anymore. drums just kicked in, liking them. cannot save this though. *7. ok - loving the vocals and the squelchy bass together.... liking the grittier, less ambient sound. this song has made my ribs hurt? 8. light - 90s ambient in the worst way possible :( how is there so long left of this album..... alright when the drums kick in, but still wish i was listening to something else. liking the drums about three mins in. so long. 9. disser/point.mento.b - initally sounds more atmospheric rather than just background music... one of the shorter tracks! liked this one more, didn't go on long enough to get too boring. 10. soni - more of the same really. 11. vikram the vampire - thank god this is almost over. liking how the intensity is building up. i'm freeee!!!!! interesting concept, but sooooo 90s. probably better back then, but it just sounds very dated. all the songs went on a bit long (did the first track really need to be eleven minutes long?). the mellower bits especially dragged because of this. probably better as background music.

07/02/2026 1. take a bow - okay.... only ever heard supermassive black hole and didn't expect synths? not mad on the vocals, but it has only just started. two mins in and still not mad on the vocals. very 2000s. just got to the guitar, bit better but the synths behind are ruining it for me anyway. drums are nice. not massive about the lyrics either. sounds weirdly quiet for the volume i'm playing it at and the buildup to the end. stadium rock for hipsters. like the distortion at the end though. 2. starlight - oh my god this is where that piano riff comes from. reminding me of the nonce coldplay psa. why were singers in the 2000s so whiny??? *3. supermassive black hole - sadly already like this song but haven't listened to it in years so it may have changed. just got to the verse, not as good as i remember, but still better than the previous songs. alright. 4. map of the problematique - christ the synth is back again. still don't like the vocals. how it manages to sound so over the top but still soooo boring is insane. emo shit. overdramatic in a horrible way (fan of 60s baroque pop and melodrama movies saying this btw). drums are nice ig. 5. soldier's poem - softer. liking the beach boys-esque melodies. wilfred owens didn't die for these lyrics though. war is bad song. this is what idles lyrics sounds like to me. 6. invincible - liking the intro. just got to the drums and regretting it a bit, but i like the spacey vibe of the guitar and the keyboard? together. these lyrics are the worst thing i've ever heard before. no subtlety at all???? about two minutes in and i want to kill myself. how am i only halfway through this album??? 7. assassin - more metal influenced. do not like metal music. drums are reallly great though. admittedly liking the chorus. lyrics are shit as ever. 8. exo-politics - like the backing vocals. love the ufo effect :) just bland rock though. 9. city of delusion - bit western in this one? bass is reaaallly nice in this one. still do not like the vocals. like the trumpets. very glad this is almost over. *10. hoodoo - liking the more western vibe of these ones... guitar intro is great! would actually like this one if it was an instrumental. reaaaallly liking the slower vibe and the orchestra in the back. just got to the louder part and any sort of enjoyement has dissapated. sounds like mcr. do like the strings in the back though! 11. knights of cydonia - liking the sound effects at the start. why has this suddenly turned into a western album though?? not complaining bc i like it more lol. synths just started. anytime i like something in one of these songs, it gets replaced by the worst thing i've heard in my whole entire life. 12. glorious - liking the intro. looking forward to whatever shit will start now. bass is nice, but still generic indie rock. wish this guy would just shut up oh my god. so glad this is over. 2000s (indie) rock is officially in my bad books again. so glad i never have to listen to any of these songs again. please god can i have an enjoyable album next.

08/02/2026 1. seven nation army - obviously know this one already. listening to muse yesterday is making me appreciate this more i think? both quiet and loud moments. i like this song, but it's literally inescapable and a bit overplayed so maybe that's affecting my enjoyment? *2. black math - liking the guitar at the start. bit gun club-y. not disliking his vocals in this one, which is a surprise considering how much i disliked the other white stripes albums i've had to listen to. *3. there's no home for you here - really loving the guitar again. got to about two mins in and not sure how to feel about the vocals. loving the distorted guitar though. *4. i just don't know what to do with myself - rethinking my hatred of the white stripes.... reallly loved this one. 5. in the cold, cold night - meg white vocals? liking the low hum... liking the keyboard? organ? not crazy about this one, but didn't hate it. 6. i want to be the boy... - his vocals are annoying me again. bit raspy and too whiny. liking the guitar and piano together. slide guitar has redeemed it for me :) 7. you've got her in your pocket - alright. the guitar is nice, but it's a bit boring in the middle of a harder rock album and all the things i don't like about the vocals stand out a lot more with only an acoustic guitar covering it. *8. ball and biscuit - back to rock. first verse lyrics are verrry highway 61. really loving the guitar solo. really great! 9. the hardest button to button - liking the intro.... kinda birthday party vibes?? his vocals are constantly towing the line between annoying and alright. guitar riff is veerrrry similar to here she comes now??? lyrics have been a bit meh throughout. 10. little acorns - spoken word opening? liking the start of this... guitars are great! vocals are officially grating again. 11. hypnotise - short and sweet. 12. the air near my fingers - immediately very brian jonestown massacre. alright but lacks something to push it into great? same with most of the songs on here. *13. girl, you have no faith in medicine - liking the guitar at the start.... i think the louder songs are where his vocals actually fit and help the song. 14. it's true that we love one another - what is happening right now? went into this reaaaalllly not expecting much (the two other white stripes albums this has made me listen to were abysmal) but i really liked a lot of the songs in this one :) still a bit too whiny 2000s rock at times, but enjoyed it a lot more than i though i would. something about it still doesn't have that thing to push it into great for me, will maybe relisten later? but just kinda meh/alright. still hoping for a better album tomorrow.

09/02/2026 *1. so what - loving the bass. oooh. loving how all the instruments are coming together.... oooh trumpet.... everything stands out but works together so nicely. drums are phenomenal! saxaphone!!! perfect!!!!!! <333 *2. freddie freeloader - trumpet is beautiful.... georgeous.... no words..... *3. blue in green - more mellow... drums sound like rain.... great!!!! *4. all blues - more frantic? loving the saxaphones and trumpet together.... *5. flamenco sketches - slower again.... saxaphone is wowwwww..... absolutely phenomenal!! no words needed <33

10/02/2026 1. nights introlude - okay... immediately a bit 808 state-y. nice bass. wasn't expecting this from the album cover, but am not complaining. not mad on the keyboard/piano solo. 90s hip hop easy listening? nice :) liking the sound of waves going into the next song.... *2. dreddoverboard - real nice bass again. reminds me of something and i don't know what.... bass is frying my ears even though it's not that loud... ooooooh beat drop. anyways may have to turn it down a bit :( trumpet!!! reaaallly loving this one. think it might be reminding me of voodoo ray a bit? still don't know what i was thinking of. 3. pipes honour - starting to get a bit concerned about the length of this album... liking it but not sure how long i'll keep liking it for. more reggae influence... love the synth just before 1:30... very groovy. drums are nice. falling asleep rn.... kindof helping me enjoy it though.... trancey.... *4. me and you - really sweet at the start. bass is still great! short and sweet!!! woken me up.. 5. stars - liking how the songs fade into one another... beat on this one is great. echoey noises are kinda psychedelic... loving the vocal samples. think i kinda actually fell asleep through this. unconsciously enjoyed it though. too repetitive for me when i'm sleepy. *6. wait a minute/praying for a jeepbeat - bass has woken me up. sooo great! tempo change woke me up again. loving this one. actually fell asleep so listening to half of this one again. *7. groove st. - already listened to half lol. thought it was just another change up. like the vibe of this one. bass reeeaaal nice. 8. time (to listen) - literally 25 seconds... 9. (man) tha journey - keep falling asleep throguhout this album, so maybe not the most accurate rating tonight... trying to stay awake again, but can't really help it. liking this one again. like the tambourine? 10. bless my soul - loving the intro... not enjoying jt as much when i have to fight the urge to stay awake... noticing more just how repetitive everything is now. 11. cruise (don't stop) - not helping the dreamy mood. nice :) getting a bit tired of this and beginning to get just boring repetitive *12. mission venice - really liking the start. gets right into it. shorter than the last few songs, stops it feeling as overly long and repetitive. 13. what i'm feelin (good) - bass has been great through this whole album. kindof sounds like the ringing facetime sound on whatsapp. didn't like it as much as the others, but wouldn't complain if it was on in the background :) 14. rise - getting very sleepy again.... nice ambient track. 15. rise (reprise) - literally more of the same as the previous track.... as much as i've enjoyed it, i am very excited for it to end. 16. gambia via vagator beach - more focus on the drums... didn't enjoy as much as the other songs, but def need to give a relisten when i'm not falling asleep again and can actually concentrate. repeatedly falling asleep during this actually really helped this one for me. the way all the tracks drifted into one another helped lull me to sleep until the drums got loud or something and i woke up in the middle of the next track(s)... very fever dream ish. did have something to do after listening to this that i now don't have time for bc i spent an hour (don't know where that went?) being asleep. makes rating it a bit hard bc i don't remember half of it very well, but think i enjoyed it when i was asleep? did get a bit long and repetitive when i forced myself to stay awake towards the end, but maybe that was just coming to the end of an overly long album.... absoutely need to give this a proper relisten some time :)

11/02/2026 *1. jenny was a friend of mine - liking all the electronic noises at the start. bassline is really nice. like the chorus. 2. mr. brightside - obviously know this one. going into it, it's overplayed and just alright. similar to how i feel about seven nation army. bit too emo/indie/very 2000s and it's now a bit dated and overplayed.... the kindof song that would play in a car advert. 3. smile like you mean it - all of these songs sound alright, but are just indie pop-rock in the worst way possible... good background music and the instruments are well played, but it's just lacking something. not mad on the lyrics either. 4. somebody told me - also know this one. it's alright. *5. all these things that i've done - quieter... more eerie... he's started singing again.... it's not bad, just bland. reminds me of that keane song in the m&s christmas advert years ago. not massive on the chanting bit, but the rest of it sounds nice. 6. andy, you're a star - remember listening to this one at some point as a kid, but cannot remember what it sounds like at all. alright. not much to say about this album. like the synths. 7. on top - what is this intro. all of these songs are melding into each other. lyrics are getting more obviously annoying. 8. change your mind - every indie band in the last ten years sounds like this song. not a fan. it's alright i guess. definitely listenable, but so bland. 9. believe me natalie - like the drums at the start. all the songs sound the same and it's not really my thing lol. 10. midnight show - lyrics are a bit weird.... *11. everything will be alright - liking the descending intro.... more spacey... still wouldn't consciously listen to this, but enjoying it more than any of the other songs (except maybe the first). four minutes in and it's going on a bit now. 12. glamorous indie rock & roll - not looking forward to this one from the title. i do not need indie rock and roll. bassline is nice. liking the guitar in the chorus more than the rest of the album. very glad this is over. 2000s indie pop-rock is not for me and the killers is no exception! sounded alright, but sooooooooo mind-numbingly bland that i wouldn't choose to listen to any of these songs again. no nostalgia for this. begging for a properly good album tomorrow.........

'a' bomb in wardour street - love the bass. lyrics are fantastic!! great!!!! love the guitar at the end. *12. down in the tube station at midnight - already know this one as well :) the bassline...... love it!!!! already knew a few songs by the jam and loved them, but never listened to a full album before. loved it!!! very excited for sound affects to appear, hopefully sooner rather than later :)

13/02/2026 1. overture - got the world's worst cold rn so not looking forward to an hour and 15 minute long rock opera. reallly nice around 1:40. guitar is really nice in this one, especially after the vocals. 2. it's a boy - okay.... getting the story now. vocals sound a bit strained. only 40 seconds so not much to say lol. 3. 1921 - trying to piece together what is happening.... is his mum having an affair or something? alright, but not many thoughts about it so far.... 4. amazing journey - bass is nice. prog/kinda psychadelic vibes. is this about god??? liked it most towards the end, but most of it was unremarkable. doesn't sound bad, but just doesn't do anything for me :) *5. sparks - bass at the start is nice again. nice little instrumental! *6. eyesight to the blind (the hawker) - the drums in this are great! so tommy?/the boy was deaf, dumb and blind and now isn't.... *7. christmas - love the backing vocals. all the instruments are really nice on this one.... going on the christmas playlist. drums are crazy!!! i know this album has something to do with pinball so is that lyric setting it up? 8. cousin kevin - immediately lyrics seem a bit sinister.... headache has just started..... drums are realllll nice in this album. song is a bit repetitive for me.... 9. the acid queen - is she a prostitute? liking the more lively songs. still too repetitive. feel so ill right now :( how am i not even close to halfway..... 10. underture - ten minutes..... jesus. no lyrics are showing up so i'm guessing it's instrumental as well. doing my portfolio whilst listening to this because it's due tomorrow. sorry! liking the stopping and starting, psychedelic vibes. bass is really nice. not sure how well i'd cope if it wasn't just in the background though. 11. do you think it's alright? - what 12. fiddle about - halfway mark! oh my god he's a pedophile???? jesus christ. what is this fucking album about!!!! why is his uncle noncing him! *13. pinball wizard - know this song, but after the last song it puts it in a different context. wasn't massive on it before, but certainly am not anymore. instruments are nice. getting the lyrics more now i know what the album is about lol. why is it about pinball though?? was it big in the 60s/70s?? holds up better than the others to listen to by itself though! 14. there's a doctor - feel like i'm goint to be violently sick. cannot deal with this song right now. only 25 seconds though. *15. go to the mirror! - uuhfg. lyrical motif. bass and drums are fantastic in this one :) 16. tommy can you hear me? - more acoustic, bit bluesy/old school rock and roll... shorter one! *17. smash the mirror - liking the beginnning... again more bluesy and old school rock. bass and guitar are really nice together. like the sound effects at the end. 18. sensation - also liking this one. lots of the reviews on here i've read are saying it falls off towards the end, but i'm getting into it more lol. 19. miracle cure - literally like ten seconds long. 20. sally simpson - so close to freedom.... kindof lost track of the story. tommy becomes a god at pinball and also an actual god? feel like sometimes the story overtakes the lyrics/music? 21. i'm free - not much to say. alright, not bad to listen to, but wouldn't choose to listen to it again. 22. welcome - kindof folksy at the start? tommy is building a cult? can't lie, i do not have the brainpower for this right now. liked the ending. *23. tommy's holiday camp - funky start? is this not the nonce uncle??? really liking the weird carnival theme in the background.... 24. we're not gonna take it - thank god this is almost over!!!!! bass is really nice. had to take a break to submit my portfolio (*.*) what is happening in this song!!!! what even happened in this!!!! not the biggest fan of this, although it has made me want to watch the movie (if it's anything like quadrophenia, i like the film a lot more than the album lol). if this is already this mental, how mental is the ken russell(!!!!!) movie??? none of these songs were bad, but i wouldn't really listen to any outside of the album and have no plans to relisten anytime soon. what album needs to be 24(!!!!) tracks long. too stadium-rock for me!

14/02/2026 1. soubour - reallly nice guitar... very bluesy. bass is great as well. 2. irganda - bass is really nice again. *3. al hassidi terei - liking the drums in this one... love the guitar at about 1:30. groovy. 4. sekou oumarou - alright. not much to say lol. enjoying it, but none of the songs have that oomf to push it into something i really like. 5. nick - really liking the guitar at the start. guitar solo is great! 6. al tchere bele - really loving the guitar at the start. love the rhythm. *7. wayei - sounds really sweet. love the backing vocals. really lovely :) *8. petit metier - more acoustic.... don't know what he's saying, but it sounds more emotional? really liking the vocals in this one. just got to the beat drop.... folksier... *9. jolie - liking the second half of this more, from track 7 onwards :) love the backing vocals again. 10. desert melodie - interesting rhythm in this one. love it. 11. mali - really sweet/sentimental. assuming it's a love letter to where they're from? great acoustic guitar. wasn't mad on this at the start, wasn't bad to listen to, but didn't grab me, maybe because i don't understand the lyrics? but reallly loved the songs from track seven onwards. more acoustic and emotional, but still feel like i'm missing something without understanding the lyrics. maybe will listen again when i don't have a bad cold and a banging headache to see if it helps me to focus on the emotion :)

15/02/2026 1. angel of death - immediately what i was expecting when i got this album... was hoping this generator would maybe make me more open to metal, but it's somehow making me not like it more. admittedly, really liked the screeching sound. the riff in the instrumental just before 2 mins in really sounds like the kmfdm song in the living end.... googled it and it is kmfdm sampled it! 2. piece by piece - very edgy. 3. necrophobic - this one does not have lyrics on spotify. what the fuck is he saying. like the screeching of the guitar. not much else. 4. altar of sacrifice - went through this whole song not noticing that it had changed from the previous track so didn't write anything and am not listening to it again! 5. jesus saves - slower beginning is nice. again, cannot understand what is being said. 6. criminally insane - all of these songs sound the same to me. 7. reborn - only good thing about this album so far is that it's only half an hour long. 8. epidemic - lyrics are back so i can understand the emo shit he's saying again :( 9. postmortem - do americans pronounce tourniquet like that??? harrowing discovery. 10. raining blood - thank god this is almost over. liking the atmosphere at the start. ruined a bit by the drums and overly loud lightning effects but whatever. the only enjoyment i got from this album was being reminding of better songs from the riff in angel of death. don't like metal, not for me. really love the album cover though, reallllllly beautiful, will have to look up who painted it :)

16/02/2026 *1. i looked away - already kindof know this one. bass is so nice with the guitars.... love the vocals. love the tambourine(?). *2. bell bottom blues - like this one already! love how dramatic the chorus is..... love the slide guitar..... 3. keep on growing - liking the beginning....love the chorus!! bass is really nice :) guitar solo about 5 mins in is making me go crazy!!! maybe a bit long, but can't say i didn't enjoy all of it :) *4. nobody knows you when you're down and out - absolutely adore the guitars together. the slide guitar is insane!!!!!!!!! love the organ in the back. going crazy right now. how have i never listened to this before!!!! ending is phenomenal!!!! 5. i am yours - sounds more folksier to start... really loving the slide guitar instrumental. sweet little break :) *6. anyday - loving the slide guitar immediately. aahgh!! loving it, but considering how long the album is, this song did not need to go on so long lol 7. key to the highway - loving this album, but not sure i need seven more songs of it! just more similar blues music. still great, just maybe a bit much to listen to all at once. *8. tell the truth - really liking the groove in this one.... slide guitar solo is insane. love it! great ending! *9. why does love got to be so sad? - drums are realllly nice on this one. love the bass as well. great!! *10. have you ever loved a woman? - slower paced. love the instrumental about 2;30 in.... crazzzzyyyyy...... don't know anything about clapton apart from the music, but getting the vibe that he was a serial(!!!!) homewrecker from these songs... *11. little wing - really loving the intro... more psychedelic. reaalllly beautiful <3 12. it's too late - really liked this one :) *13. layla - love it already!!!! even though i reaaallly enjoyed it, i think i enjoyed track four more, which i wasn't expecting going into this! 14. thorn tree in the garden - immediately more softer, sentimental.... nice ending :) really loved this one. thought i'd like it from the songs i'd heard before, but was a bit concerned about the length of it - some of the songs did drag a bit, but not to the extent where it got on my nerves. slide guitar was absolutely incredible. oh my god just read eric clapton's wikipedia after reading some of the reviews.... how racist do you have to be to support enoch powell?????

17/02/2026 1. janie jones - like the bass :) alright! 2. remote control - again, alright! liking the guitar solo about two mins in. enjoyed it, but not mindblowing.... 3. i'm so bored with the usa - already know this one.... listening to a full album by the clash is making me realise how much more i prefer their later albums over this one lol *4. white riot - already like this one as well!! love the distorted guitar with the bass... 5. hate & war - also know this one... really like the bass... eeee forgot about the lyrics..... *6. what's my name - really like the guitar riff... reaaallly liked this one! 7. deny - really liking the ending. it was alright again. 8. london's burning - like the dial 99999 bit! and the kinda spoken word near ending.... 9. career opportunities - getting a bit samey now.... still liked it though. 10. cheat - not mad about the lyrics on this album. know punk is meant to be simplistic, but it's just a bit boring/obvious ten songs in. very idles. 11. protex blue - liking the ticking at the start and the guitar.... ok. *12. police & thieves - reaaallly liking the drumming. still love the bass :) liking the lyrics of this one more.... 13. 48 hours - alright :) 14. garageland - harmonica?? maybe would enjoy it more if i didn't have a banging headache, was definitely enjoyable to listen to, but dragged a bit towards the end and the lyrics aren't as good as i remember them being when i first got into punk music lol. from the songs i've already heard from london calling (and onwards), i imagine i'd like those albums better - but this is still a nice listen!

18/02/2026 *1. monday, monday - immediately very beach boys.... 60s wall of sound save me..... reallly love all the vocals. the strings!!!! the chorus!!!! *2. straight shooter - more rockier? bass is reallll nice.... their voices together are sosososo nice! love it! *3. got a feelin - soo beautiful immediately.... love the ticking sound in the back and the bells.... gorgeous singing..... soft guitar..... bit psychedelic? *4. i call your name - piano. cass eliot.... tempo change..... love the bass... fantastic ending! 5. do you wanna dance - the strings and backing vocals just kicked in.... sweet.... enjoyed the other songs more though :) 6. go where you wanna go - strings! the lyrics aren't as joyful as the music.... contrapuntal.... loved it! *7. california dreamin - already great! flute solo! drums and bass are really nice together. *8. spanish harlem - love the harmonies.... very dreamy.... *9. somebody groovy - nice drumming.... bass is great! *10. hey girl - bass break! loved it <3 11. you baby - kindof surfy? loved it, but a bit too cheesy for me. *12. the "in" crowd - cass eliot.... 60s easy listening/baroque pop #1 fan!!! was expecting california dreamin to be my favourite from here, but got a feelin was completely beautiful, will be on repeat indefinitely, literally listening to it as i'm typing. beautiful album, may be cheesy and schmaltzy but it hits some niche in my brain that makes it go haywire! love it!!!!!

19/02/2026 1. sympathy for the devil - already know this one, but only vaguely... can tell the master and margarita inspiration! woo woo. liking the guitar solo. like the bass as well. liked it, but a bit long. *2. no expectations - acoustic... very country slide guitar. bass is really nice. piano is really sweet <3 love the humming at the end.... 3. dear doctor - alright :) so far, this album is a lot more country than i expected! still like it though. 4. parachute woman - very bluesy. really reminds me of jean jeanie... but that might just be the blues.... really liking the electric guitar and the harmonica... morricone vibes.... *5. jig-saw puzzle - guitar at the beginning is fantastic! bass great! drums great! slide guitar again! piano is real nice as well... *6. street fighting man - already know this one from fantastic mr fox lol. more rockier than the rest of this album so far... love how overwhelming it all gets. wall of sound my beloved <3 7. prodigal son - back to country/folk/blues. very bob dylan. guessing it's based on the parable? *8. stray cat blues - love the drumming... bass is great. rockier again :) eeee bit noncey??? really great song if you ignore that one lyric! guitar solo towards the end is killer.... 9. factory girl - alright, but probably my least favourite from the album so far. only one song left though! 10. salt of the earth - different vocals? bass is really nice. liked the ending. alright, was expecting a more rock sound, although i still enjoyed the country and blues - the slide guitar was immense! - my favourite songs were the more straight rocknroll ones. from looking at the other albums/singles, most of the songs i seem to like are their early-mid 60s singles, so looking forward to their earlier albums popping up on the generator!

20/02/2026 1. highway to hell - not looking forward to this album.... guitar solo is nice, but sooo overplayed. 2. girls got rhythm - not massive on the vocals.... similar to why i don't like metal vocals. bass is nice. 3. walk all over you - just the same as the other song. 4. touch too much - why are all of these songs about sex. it's literally the same song over and over again thank god it's not a long album. *5. beating around the bush - nice guitar at the start.... the vocals are absolutely not my thing though. he's not having sex this time.... guitars are kinda country? nice ending. 6. shot down in flames - nice bass. i think it's fair for her to tell him to go to hell! 7. get it hot - nice bass again. album would probably sound better if they listened to some soul. very macho hard rock album. even the songs not about him having sex are about him wanting to have sex. 8. if you want blood (you've got it) - drums are nice. waiting for this to be over.... just not my thing at all. 9. love hungry man - nice bassline................. vocals and lyrics (and hard rock generally) are reaaaaaaalllly not my thing though. 10. night prowler - the title of this sounds kindof promising.... he sounds like he's smoked 20 packs a day for 20 years. like a shit version of night shift by siouxie and the banshees..... this album is what i imagine to be on repeat 24/7 on absolute classic rock. do not like hard rock or how it is the only thing ever played on rock radio stations. need a 60s pop album tomorrow to clear any remnants of this from my brain.

21/02/2026 1. enter sandman - guitar is nice i guess? technically good, just not for me :/ seems very long... not a good start for an album that's just over an hour. 2. sad but true - not a fan. just figured out i've been listening to this album on shuffle, so if the writing seems a bit disjointed, it's because it's not actually the order i listened in!!! 3. holier than thou - nothing more to say lol. sounded exactly the same as the rest of the songs. 4. the unforgiven - same as prev. cannot wait for this to be over... 5. wherever i may roam - like the guitar at start... sounds a bit orientalist though.... not a fan of the riff after it gets loud though. 6. don't tread on me - america!!!! not american so i couldn't care less. even if it's ironic, considering what the singer has said about the use of his music in torture at guantanamo bay, it doesn't come off great. 7. through the never - this is more what i was thinking when this album showed up. somehow it's gotten worse from the earlier songs! 8. nothing else matters - obviously metal, but sounds more toothless and mainstream than any of the other metal albums this has made me listen to? really boring.... 9. of wolf and man - boring.... 10. the god that failed - bass is nice at the start. shame about the rest of the song. 11. my friend of misery - this bloody album is misery... 12. the struggle within - so glad this is over!!! did not like this at all, metal is absolutely not for me, not spending any more time on this.

22/02/2026 1. tutti frutti - vaguely know this from velvet goldmine.... love the instrumental. 2. true, fine mama - very bluesy. saxaphone is great! *3. can't believe you wanna leave - the vocals in this are immediately great!! 4. ready teddy - great! bring back saxaphones in rock music.... 5. baby - love the piano.... *6. slippin and slidin - saxaphone is phenomenal!!!! <3333 7. long tall sally (the thing) - already like this one :) *8. miss ann - love it!!!!! great ending! 9. oh why? - nice! 10. rip it up - nothing more to say! great early rocknroll songs :) *11. jenny jenny - saw a few reviews not liking this one, but realllly loving the energy! 12. she's got it - :) really liked it, but felt a bit repetitive at times and feels a bit dated now, but the energy is still there! lacks that something to push it into four territory, but still enjoyed it… would give a 3.5 if there were half stars.

23/02/2026 *1. green river - liking the guitar immediately... loving all the guitars together. rocknroll-y but also folksy! love it!!! *2. commotion - guitar and drums at the start are great. bass just started!!! love the kindof fuzzy guitar riff. love the ending! *3. tombstone shadow - i've only ever heard bad moon rising before and did not think ccr was this bluesy! love the groove... 4. wrote a song for everyone - more acoustic and laidback. not as big a fan as the other songs, but still a nice song :) 5. bad moon rising - know this vaguely from an american werewolf in london... nice! 6. lodi - liking the start.... second half of this album has gotten less rock and more country... still nice, but liked the other songs more 7. cross-tie walker - love the bass in this one. slide guitar? *8. sinister purpose - love the vibes in this one... bass and guitar are fantastic together. drums towards the end are realllly nice as well. *9. the night time is the right time - immediately very bluesy... guitar solo is peak! love the bass.... great!!! before this challenge, i considered myself a massive fan of southern american, swampy rock - but after hating the white stripes i did start to reconsider, but this has absolutely reaffirmed my love for it (and my dislike of the white stripes......). did lull a bit in the more acoustic, folksier middle - if it was a straight folk album i wouldn't mind as i did still like the songs, but i was really enjoying the more electric blues and rock, but did really enjoy it again towards the end.

24/02/2026 1. before today - really nice. kindof like electronic/dnb cocteau twins? lovely vocals... nice! 2. wrong - synth sounds a little more dated in this one... really love the vocals again... love how it's building up throughout. three and a half mins in and it's getting a bit stale now... 3. single - slower... saxaphone sample? chorus is reminding me of the tracey beaker theme??? losing my attention towards the end. *4. the heart remains a child - like the strings? synths? reminding me of tv girl. acoustic guitar is really nice. *5. walking wounded - liking the string-like synths :) really loving this one. the vocals are beautiful with the synths. kindof orchestral. love the echoey vocals. beat is really nice as well, especially in the chorus. *6. flipside - had a break after the last song and really liking this one so far. like the scratching. like the vocals as well. 7. big deal - again, sounds very dated at the start... not really a fan of this one. do not like the sound effect that keeps repeating. 8. mirrorball - again, sounds dated. not liking the slower songs as much i don't think... more like generic 90s pop, not massive on it. 9. good cop bad cop - liking the buzzing(?) sound. nice beat. bit boring though :/ not listening to the remixes at the end, sorry! really liked before today and walking wounded especially, but some of the other tracks sounded a bit too dated (not in a good way) and were a bit boring. nice to listen to though, definitely wouldn't complain if it was on, but wasn't really moved by it either.

03/03/2026 1. bring da ruckus - like the spoken word intro.... love the samples. alright, but doesn't have that oomph to push it into something i really like. like the kindof glitching sound near the end. 2. shame on a xxxxx - liking this one more immediately. love the horns and the scratching. love the piano. got a bit bored towards the end... 3. clan in da front - love the bass in this one. alright. 4. wu-tang: 7th chamber - liked this one more than the other songs, but still not massive on it :/ maybe it's not my thing? or i'm not in the right mood? *5. can it all be so simple/intermission - love the sampling and the bass(?)... reeaaaally nice. 6. da mystery of chessboxin - like the scratching. gets a bit boring after a while... 7. wu-tang clan ain't nuthing ta f'wit - same as the others really... *8. cream - love the samples!! liking the lyrics more as well. really liked this one!! 9. method man - not massive on this one either. 10. protect ya neck - like the squealing sound in the back. too long for me. 11. tearz - liking this one more... probably wouldn't choose to listen to it again though. 12. wu-tang: 7th chamber part ii - liking the beat... wasn't massive on the gangster rap lyrics (eg. the start of method man....) or the beats which just sounded the same after a while... really liked the more political and emotional lyrics of cream or tearz though.

05/03/2026 *1. ace of spades - vaguely know this one already... like the guitar and drums! do not know how i feel about the vocals.... guitar solo is really nice! love the energy... real nice ending :) *2. love me like a reptile - liking the start.... ashamed to say how much i'm enjoying this one lol. was not excited for this album when it showed up! *3. shoot you in the back - like the lyrics more on this one :) guitar and drums have been great throughout! 4. live to win - still liking it, but kindof sounds the same as the other songs. not as bad as i was expecting though! 5. fast and loose - lyrics are a little bit weird/chauvinist male rock. not looking forward to whatever jailbait is though...... still sounds nice though :) 6. (we are) the roadcrew - not as big a fan of this one... like the distorted guitar near the end. 7. fire fire - nice, but it's all kindof blending into one. loved the guitar still! 8. jailbait - not looking forward to this one.... did not expect it to be so explicit about being noncey..... as nice as it sounds, it leaves a very slimey impression... would not listen to this one again. 9. dance - nice, same as the others really :) *10. bite the bullet - liking the start more... great! 11. the chase is better than the catch - bit tired of this album now. still not massive on the vocals, but a lot better than the usual metal vocals i was expecting..... 12. the hammer - as much as i didn't hate this album, i'm not upset about it ending either. not bad though! a lot punkier than i expected, which was a nice suprise! wasn't looking forward to this as i would generally class metal as my least favourite genre of music ever, but a lot rockier. the poorly aged (probably not great when they were written either) lyrics sometimes leave a sour taste, along with not having much substance, and it becomes a bit monotonous when listening to the album as a whole.

06/03/2026 *1. zero - okay.... like an american lcd soundsystem? like the strings. love the instrumental about 2:30.... really lovely vocals. not massive on the lyrics though. nice dance music but lyrics are a bit nothing. nice! 2. heads will roll - already know this. high pitched guitar in this isn't my favourite... like the a-trax remix aloooot more :/ 3. soft shock - not massive on this one immediately.... sounds very millenial indie, bit dated now. getting bored towards the end. 4. skeletons - regret saying the last one was boring bc this is so much worse. her voice is beautiful, but it's starting to get a bit grating? like kindof cursive... 5. dull life - jesus christ you can tell this is from 2008. bit stomp-clap-y. what do any of these lyrics through the whole album mean? maybe i don't get it, but it seems very vacant. reminding me of the songs that would play in the menu on kinect sports rivals on the xbox one (not good!) 6. shame and fortune - liking the bass in this one.... bit boring again. *7. runaway - piano.... how does it keep getting worse. to be fair, it's getting better as it goes on. not something i would choose to listen to, but now the strings(?) in the background have kicked in, it's not as bad :) vaguely reminds me of mars argo.... used to be obsessed with her when i was like ten lol. like the screeching towards the end. 8. dragon queen - seeing people in the reviews calling this indie sleaze.... how is this sleazy??? hate the clapping. 9. hysteric - still not a fan, but do like the dreamy vibe. do not like the clapping effect again..... finding it boring. 10. little shadow - like the organ and the acoustic guitar together. better than the others, but still boring. for me, it's not enough rock in a pop-rock album.. didn't really know what to expect from this one. liked the first track, but it quickly nosedived. realised once i got to the chorus of heads will roll that the version i like is a remix and i do not actually like the original lol. will not be listening to this one again :)

07/03/2026 1. summer babe (winter version) - already know and like this one :) nice! *2. trigger cut / wounded kite at :17 - really liking the start... really like the guitar. like the ending. *3. no life singed her - already love this one! 4. in the mouth a desert - twinkling effect? liking the guitars in this at the start. loud drums are nice in this one... kindof 60s. 5. conduit for sale! - saw a review comparing this to the murder mystery and can definitely see it. his delivery is also very mark e smith. really nice! 6. zurich is stained - like the slide(?) guitar. really like it! 7. chelsey's little wrists - love the sitar-esque guitar *8. loretta's scars - already really love this one <3 probably my favourite pavement song i've heard (along with flame throwa).... *9. here - more dreamy.... really sweet :) 10. two states - like the guitar solo, but not as big on this one so far. *11. perfume-v - immediately liking this one.. love the guitar near the end! 12. fame throwa - already love this one!! lovelovelove the chorus <3 *13. jackals, false grails: the lonesome era - really liked this one!! *14. our singer - love the drums. love the guitar aswell. reaaallly nice! always felt halfandhalf on pavement, but listening to a full album made me appreciate it more! flame throwa is great!!!!

08/03/2026 1. peaches en regalia - ooo liking it immediately... horns sound like car horns? sitar? bass is nice. like the organ(?) in the back. *2. willie the pimp - reaaally liking the violin with the bass. lyrics! love the guitar. drumming is great! violin is back!! 3. son of mr. green genes - liking the start.... bass is really great! saxaphone is phenomenal!! love the ending. *4. little umbrellas - love the bass and the saxaphone... drums are great!! love it!!!!! *5. the gumbo variations - reallllly liking the start... love the saxaphone again.... bass is fantastic. violin is back!! loved this one!!! *6. it must be a camel - loving this.... great!! wasn't sure what to think about this one when it first showed up, but really loved it! will relisten again soon!

10/02/2026 *1. rise - her singing is absolutely lovely, love the drums and bass together. piano is nice as well. 2. weary - bass is nice again. as nice as it is, it sounds like something that would play in the back of a primark... 3. interlude: the glory is in you - spoken word interludes.... ok.... *4. cranes in the sky - drums are nice in this one with the strings.... really liking this one. love her voice in the chorus. 5. interlude: dad was mad - more political now... 6. mad - liking this one but not mad about the rapping sections... her voice is so lovely <3 all of the songs are starting to get a bit samey, which isn't great this early on.... beat and piano is very 24 hour lofi study music 7. don't you wait - liking it, but would maybe like it more if it had louder moments.... her singing is very soft, would maybe stop it being so monotonous? 8. interlude: tina taught me - wonder where these clips are from... will look it up after listening. 9. don't touch my hair - like the horns in this one... not as big a fan of the sound of this one. a bit too inoffensive and mellow and a bit repetitive towards the end. *10. interlude: this moment - love the power of the horns at the start... 11. where do we go - love the piano immediately. very samesy still... 12. interlude: for us by us - 13. f.u.b.u - like the horns again. feels like the one explicit song on the album... lyrics stand out more than some of the other songs though. *14. borderline (an ode to self care) - piano and bass are reaally nice together. beat is nice. bit repetetive again... 15. interlude: i got so much magic, you can have it - 16. junie - like how all the tracks are fading into one another. still a bit boring. 17. interlude: no limits - 18. don't wish me well - low organs(?) at the start are nice. like the kindof ominous vibe. verse just started, ominous vibe has already evaporated. 19. interlude: pedestals - 20. scales - nice, but over this album at this point... 21. closing: the chosen ones - horns are nice again. as much as listening to this was nice, it felt a bit bloated and definitely fizzed out massively towards the end. the constant gentleness in her voice was lovely, but the album then lacked a lot of power, which made it feel a bit monotonous. really liked the interludes and the first and fourth tracks though!

23/03/2026 1. intro - not massive on this immediately... wouldn't listen again 2. vcr - don't like the intro... bass is alright i guess? singing is a bit cursive. not a fan. lyrics aren't my thing either. 3. crystalised - vocals are still absolutely not for me. bit grating. very breathy. beat drop is alright? what do these lyrics even mean. 4. islands - like the bass at the start. don't like anything else. 5. heart skipped a beat - guitar and synth is quite nice in the instrumentals. *5. fantasy - really love the bass about 1:30 in... still don't like the vocals, but the instrumental is nice :) 7. shelter - nothing to say. just not my thing :/ 8. basic space - this is primark music to me... peak advert music. 9. infinity - like the guitar and bass at the start, just reaaalllly don't like the vocals. not even halfway through this song jesus.... like how loud it got near the end. 10. night time - nothing to say again. wish this was the last tune. 11. stars - bass at the start is nice. nothing else though! so glad this is over!! never heard of this band or album before so went into it blind... did not enjoy this at all... one of the most boring, corporate albums i have had the misfortune of listening to!!! will NOT be listening again <3

27/03/2026 1. this is - oo like the bass... 2. freedom - like the tambourine... nice, but a bit repetitive. 3. if you only knew - like the intro. lyrics are a bit cringe? just a bit surface level. maybe a bit slow? not sure why i'm not feeling it :/ flute is nice though. *4. break - loving the drums immediately. liking the beat a looot more in this one! love the scratching near the end!! reaallly nice :) *5. react - loove the bass. bit groovier... sampling and scratches are lovely! *6. a day at the races - bass is great! guitar is real nice aswell! looove the faster rapping in this one! maybe going on a bit long... stokely carmichael! 7. remember his name - nice but nothing really jumps out... *8. what's golden - liking this immediately! loove the synth(?) and the horns!! great! 9. thin line - loove the strings at the start.. loooove the sampling!! feels like it's going on abiiit long though... 10. after school special - nice :) like the ending. 11. high fidelity - like the horns. kindof just washes over a bit though. bit monotonous. love the scratching though. *12. sum of us - liking this one more... reaaally nice :) *13. ddt - great!!! 14. one of them - very much dragging on at this point... not bad just getting too long. *15. hey - loooooving the start!! dragged on a bit, just became a bit forgettable. 16. i am somebody - fine! *17. acetate prophets - sounds more interesting.... not my favourite, but would rather have an album of more experimental tracks like this instead of the same sounding tracks all over again for one hour. five minutes in and it's grown on me! some of the songs were really nice, but a lot of it just kindof washed over me? it wasn't bad, but especially with 17 tracks it got a bit repetitive and the beat stayed quite similar on a looot of the tracks. liked the deeper voiced rapper a lot! public enemy does a similar thing but feels a lot more energetic and abrasive - which i just enjoy listening more to! ddt was a really phenomenal change-up without any beat or instruments!!

28/03/2026 1. closer - okay... nice drums. spooky? jesus christ just remembered what his voice sounded like on the other album i had to listen to ages ago..... like the droney guitar. alright. *2. crawl - like the start! nice. reaaally nice bass. like the guitar towards the end. 3. sex on fire - just a bit overplayed really! 4. use somebody - his voice is a bit annoying... do like towards the end a bit more. very millenial. 5. manhattan - like the slide guitar(?). softer vibe... he just started singing, i take it back :( 6. revelry - not looking forward to this one... one of the worst things i've ever heard. bass is admittedly nice and it is getting better as it goes on. still wouldn't listen to it. 7. 17 - like the church bells sound at the start. what!!!! 8. notion - fine. wouldn't listen to again. 9. i want you - more atmospheric. nice bass. sooooo long! 10. be somebody - had a break.. really don't like his voice. like the bass in the chorus. 11. cold desert - not a fan! did not like this album at all!! the last kings of leon at least had some energy to keep it from being boring, but this was just shit!! waste of an hour!!!

29/03/2026 1. genesis - very dramatic... electronic? not really my thing, but the bass is nice :) 2. let there be light - like how the tracks fade into one another. 3. d.a.n.c.e - nice bass. again, not my thing! 4. newjack - like the start of it more than the previous tracks... alright as background music i guess? 5. phantom - like the distorted sound, but this just does not appeal to me at all!!!! 6. phantom pt. ii - like the strings. not much else lol. 7. valentine - nothing else to say. 8. tthhee ppaarrttyy - do not like the start... do not like the rest of it either. 9. dvno - like the vocals in this one more.. not mad on the lyrics though.... bit pervy? bass near the end is nice. 10. stress - more interesting sound... very tense! bit long though... gets repetitive after a while. like the kindof harpischord sound near the end. 11. waters of nazareth - nothing else to say again! so happy this is almost over!! 12. one minute to midnight - so glad this is over!!!! was worried this was going to be a metal album from the cover, so was a bit surprised when it was electronic! just not my thing, didn't really enjoy any of it!

31/03/2026 *1. the lovely linda - nice bass... really sweet <3 *2. that would be something - bluesier... reaaally nice chorus. like the ending :) 3. valentine day - halfway through, is this instrumental? reaallly nice! *4. every night - wow love the startt! beautiful lyrics!!! awww <3 *5. hot as sun / glasses - nice, but not enjoying as much as the previous track. ooo just changed massively.... assuming this is the glasses part? reaaaalllly love it though!! kindof droney. *6. junk - sounds really soft and tender immediately... the lofi sound reaally helps. wow! loooovely! *7. man we was lonely - looove the reverb-y guitar... beautiful!! looove the backing vocals <33 this is the most sentimental album i have ever listened to :) nice bass at the end. 8. oo you - nice! 9. momma miss america - reaaally nice! loove the bass! *10. teddy boy - got to the chorus, feel like i've heard this somewhere else? really nice! 11. singalong junk - love the organ-y synth sound... *12. maybe i'm amazed - loove the lyrics <3 piano and organ are great! *13. kreen-akrore - ooo guitar just started! okay... bit more experimental... reeaaally liking it just over two mins in! lots of breathing! guitar and organs together are fantastic! really loved the tender, sentimental feeling of a lot of this album.. every night was definitely a highlight!

01/04/2026 1. little water song - lovely orchestral start... not sure how to feel about this one! the lyrics are a bit weird, but i really like them. the actual music doesn't do anything for me though. 2. the case continues - nice start! production feels a little dated though... same as prev, doesn't appeal to me much :/ *3. passionate fight - liking this one a lot more than the previous two immediately... love the horns! love the little instrumental <3 beautiful!! *4. die dreigroschenoper: tango ballad - definitely dated at the start. not bad though! neil hannon! looove the lyrics! really getting into this one now! phenomenal!!! <3 <3 <3 5. couldn't you keep that to yourself - love the organ! the lyrics are realllly nice again :) nice! *6. streets of berlin - very atmospheric start... reminds me abit of the pink room from the fwwm soundtrack... 7. the part you throw away - can immediately see the tom waits influence lol. i am liking that about this album! loving her vocals and the strings in this one!! goes really nice with the accordion :) *8. split - oooo loooving the start!!!!!! neil hannon again! two minutes in and this song was made for me!!! loooooving it <<<3333 9. punishing kiss - love the start again! nice :) 10. purple avenue - loove the lyrics! *11. you were meant for me - french? looove the guitar! love how dramatic this is!! maybe going on a bit long, but still really liking it! 12. scope j - wow! very tense! definitely a bit too long and probably wouldn't listen to it again in the near future, but definitely interesting!! didn't know anything about this album before listening, just that i'd vaguely heard of the name ute lemper and that i already loved some of the music by alotof the people involved so was very excited. was initially a bit concerned, but absolutely picked up after track three and i loved it!!! whoever gave this an average rating of 2.41 kill yourselves!

02/04/2026 1. best foot forward - like the scratching! the samples are fantastic!! 2. building steam with a grain of salt - not massive on the piano at the start... drums have started, liking it a lot more. not enjoying it as much... maybe a bit too slow at times and too long? *3. the number song - more upbeat and fast! love the drums and the droning noise in the back! ooo saxaphones!!! niiicee!! fantastic!!!! 4. changeling - looove the bass! drums are great aswell! goes on a bit too long for me again. *5. transmission 1 - like how the last track faded into this one.... very atmospheric. reminds me of the ambient sound in eraserhead... *6. what does your soul look like pt.4 - very groovy immediately! lovely!! 7. untitled - literally twenty-five seconds. 8. stem/long stem - not massive on this one... the twinkling sound and the loud drums with the droning sound reminds me a bit of the suspiria soundtrack? bit too long for me again! 9. transmission 2 - same as the prev transmission :) 10. mutual slump - like the start!! nice :) 11. organ donor - like the sample at the start... again nice, but doesn't jump out at me! 12. why hip-hop sucks in '96 - like the bass.. short and sweet! 13. midnight in a perfect world - just a bit long and slow for me again! like the ticking sound at the end. 14. napalm brain / scatter brain - ten minutes... like the string-y synths, especially near the end but far too long *15. what does your soul look like pt.1 - very surreal opening... love the sax... drums are great! love the scratching towards the end. *16. transmission 3 - loooove the atmosphere in the transmissions!! very surreal and sinister!!!! twin peaks!!!!! the songs i liked were absolutely fantastic, but most of the songs just dragged a bit for me... maybe if i listened to them by themselves and not as an album it would drag a bit less? liked the faster songs more generally and wouldn't complain if any of these played in the background. the sampling was really phenomenal throughout and i really liked the little interludes though!!
