A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Popular Reviews

White Denim

3/5

I teeter on the edge of liking this a lot more. Feels like such good classic indie rock but I think will just always prefer less classic rock sounding indie rock over alternatives that lean more pop or folk. I think I will always be very particular labor how roc sounds and some things will hit and some things won’t. I’ve given up trying to figure out what makes one work from one that doesn’t for me but nonetheless this is a good album but not not one that’d I return to.

Moondance

Van Morrison

4/5

Soft classic rock, folk, jazz, soul all in one with Van Morrison’s country twangy twist which makes the sound so unique and nostalgic but I do find this slightly repetitive. Moondance and Into the Mystic are all time songs that are certainly highlights.

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

I’ll admit I don’t think this album is necessarily for me as much as I enjoy alternative funk and rock it’s a place I haven’t explored enough yet to truly appreciate the sound and uniqueness of this album. Late 90s early 2000s alt rock is a sound I have a hard time enjoying and I think that mental blocker is what’s stopping me here. I will need to revisit this album that’s for sure.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

Just not or me. Punk rock is a sound that’s hard for me to enjoy and resonate with. While I understand its cultural significance the sound just isn’t my cup of tea.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

5/5

This is what I want from a Christmas album. Old school nostalgic sounding Christmas music that feels warm and exciting with every song. This sound is Christmas joy and reminds me of my favorite Christmas movies. As far as Christmas albums go I have no notes and will be using for holiday seasons for years to come!

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

Personally not for me. The overall melancholy sound just doesn’t scratch my indie folk itch in the way I expect. Some songs I did enjoy (the happier sounding ones) but overall it’s not an album I’d return to.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Other than “I Know It’s Over” I don’t have any stand out songs for me on this album. While I really enjoy the sound it’s not something I would come back to out of enjoyment for the album start to finish.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

4/5

Great album. This feels like very approachable rock for me and I love his voice. Will needs to listen to more Morrissey than The smiths maybe. Would return to this.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

3/5

I get the historical significance and the uniqueness of the sound but the organ gets very repetitive. It’s still a fun listen.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

I think this is great but I think this would smack a lot harder listening to it on vinyl a little high or a wine drunk. Good album but not my fave. Idk how else to explain that.

Faith

George Michael

2/5

This is pure 80s music. If I grew up in the 80s I think I would love this album like no other. But as I don’t I can appreciate the sound but it just doesn’t hit the way I want it to.Definitely a fun and informative listen but prob wouldn’t come back to it.

White Denim

3/5

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

4/5

Right from the jump I really enjoy this. It’s a crisp sound instrumentally juxtaposed with irregular (there’s a better word for that) pauses, quick guitar strumming, idk there’s a uniqueness to the sound juxtaposed with David Byrne’s shaky and weird vocals. It’s fun and interesting with some classic songs. What’s not to like really. Would definitely come back to this!

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Yeah this isn’t for me. Atlantis To Interzone and Golden Skans are fun and interesting by tho.

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

3/5

Honestly while I won’t return to this as rock just isn’t my jam outside of some particular things this kinda hits the spot? Feels like great background music (not criticism)

Fragile

Yes

2/5

This is fine idk? It’s cool but like meh won’t return

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Incredibly unique and dark and depressing and very end of life is the best way to describe this. You want it darker is such a cool song but other than that this is something I just can’t listen to…..does that make me a bad person?
