Rubber Soul by Beatles
Dec 22 2025

Mid album. I was really bored listening to this. There was really so much creativity happening during this time it’s hard to see how the Beatles were revolutionary. Maybe this is when they were starting to shed their happy little British school boy rock image? I’ll watch the documentary on Apple Music and see what the hype is about. Right now it’s like a 2-5. Holy shit that last song is horrible

Moving Pictures by Rush
Dec 23 2025

Tbh this is a really front loaded album. Opening with Tom Sawyer is crazy because it’s peak but it’s kinda downhill from there. YYZ and Limelight are bangers but don’t stand up to the opening track. Then the rest of the album is ok but not bangers like the others.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 25 2025

I’d give this a 2.5 because it was better than rubber soul but there aren’t any bangers here I’d come back to listen to. Nice album though!

Dec 26 2025

Really not my thing. I don’t care for Christmas music and tbh I skimmed this album. I get that it’s a classic but I’m more than likely not coming back to it.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 27 2025

Morrissey is insufferable. Apparently the guitarist is doing some crazy shit but Morrissey never shuts up long enough for me to hear them. The songs don’t leave any space and are just jam sessions with Morrissey’s uninspired melodies.

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 27 2025

They have one sound and they stick to it. Yeah it’s a classic but after you listen to other bands in the genre you realize Metallica are just kinda basic. Ngl there are a few bangers on here but they don’t really hold up for me and it’s mostly just nostalgia because this was one of the first CDs I owned.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Dec 29 2025

I’m a hater I guess. Other than the opening track this album didn’t really do much for me.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Dec 30 2025

Welcome to the jungle and Sweet child of mine still hold up really well tbh. Track 2 is also really good and sounds like it might have influenced stone temple pilots and I also think I heard some QOTSA in there but I might be crazy. The rest of the album kinda fell flat for me and sounded like the same thing. Paradise City doesn’t hold up for me. Kinda goofy.

Dec 31 2025

LOOOONG ASS ALBUM. Some bangers some eh. The second half is more my style. I can def hear the influence this had on Childish Gambino.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jan 01 2026

Only heard of Brian Eno before this because of the MGMT song but didn’t realize he invented ambient music until this album and reading the Apple Music summary. I thought it was nice and was impressed that it’s from the mid 70’s. It wasn’t until I listened while driving and looking at the sky in the setting sun. Really cool feeling. 4 stars. Added songs and will come back to this album for sure.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jan 02 2026

This sucked. It’s like Mistki or Weyes Blood if they were bad and couldn’t keep a tune. Boring songs and even more boring instrumentals. I had trouble finishing this album and had to skip a few songs because I just couldn’t take listening to the same thing over and over again. The music wasn’t unlistenable I’m sure people like this but man is it unimpressive.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 03 2026

Way better than highway to hell. So many classics on here that get creative and have some variance in dynamics. Favorite songs: Shoot to Thrill, Hells Bells

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 05 2026

This album sounds like a product of its time. So many radio hits on here. Unfortunately I can’t stand her voice and style of singing and the lyrics just seem obnoxious. It sounds like the most insufferable person you know would have had their life changed by this album back in the day. You Oughta Know really is that song tho that’s the only one I liked on here.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 06 2026

Great musicianship all around on this one. Under the bridge stands out and it’s no wonder why it’s still a classic and one where Keidis actually shines through. Other than that, Breaking the Girl is the only other track that really stuck with me. Unfortunately my old favorite from Rockband 2, Give It Away, didn’t hold up for me. Favorite songs: Under The Bridge, Breaking The Girl

Queen II by Queen
Jan 07 2026

Really nice instrumentation and vocals of course. The mix is really muddy I wish there was a remastered version on Apple Music. If I actually did listen to the remaster then that’s pretty disappointing. None of the songs stuck out to me on here but it was interesting to listen to early Queen aside from the mega hits that everyone knows. Oddly enough the song I enjoyed the most was the “The Loser in the End” where Mercury isn’t singing no offense to him but that was the most interesting one for me.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 08 2026

A few bangers on here. You can get the sense of what they’ll later achieve on rated R.

War by U2
Jan 09 2026

Catchy centrist political anthems right here. Bro you’re Irish and imperialists are occupying your country. How are you going to “both sides” this? Boring politics, mostly boring 80’s rock.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 10 2026

Psych jam band type album with some bangers at the end

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jan 12 2026

I like Tom’s voice on a few other tracks from other albums where it’s darker and more sinister. Not really a fan of him actually singing ballad style it’s very grating.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 13 2026

Decent album but nothing I’d save for another listen. Never heard of this guy but it reminded me of the e Beatles and on that coconut song it really reminded me of Mac Demarco.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 15 2026

Not their best album but still a strong project. There are a few that just don’t hit for me but there are plenty of bangers on here.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 16 2026

Classic punk rock songs on here but the style gets a bit old

Parklife by Blur
Jan 17 2026

Started strong but lost the appeal after a few songs. Heavy Beatles influence I think.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 18 2026

Songs are fine. I can see the inspiration that they gave to other popular artists and even some modern ones like the Lemon Twigs. Nothing really stuck out to me as something I’d come back to.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jan 19 2026

Personal opinion but I can’t stand the 90’s alternative genre style of song writing or singing. I don’t think Liz can sing well and the songwriting plays more pretentious than deep

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 20 2026

Some classics on here. Really nice relaxing country music.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 22 2026

Classic jazz album

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jan 23 2026

Great album I personally just get tired of the inflections she uses and the constant vibrato.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 24 2026

More of a 2.5 for me. The songs and instrumentals are pretty good but the style of singing and songwriting is really just not for me. There are a few highlights to the album but nothing that I’d want to hear again.

Jan 25 2026

Great lyrics and energy I just wish his voice wasn’t so goofy. The messages would hit a lot harder. Based politics tho

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 27 2026

Really solid album but there are like 2 songs that just don’t do it for me or don’t match the vibe of the rest of the album. Almost perfect though.

Jan 28 2026

Solid. Dont really know what else to say. I’m not familiar with the genre so I’m not sure how early or revolutionary some of these sounds are but I know Aphex Twin has been sampled and interpolated many times since.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 03 2026

3.5. Great album

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 13 2026

This was so nice to listen to. Each song kinda blended together and felt like one thing.
