Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta · 1 likes

1/5

This is apparently about a man in a coma hallucinating who decides to kill himself. This makes me feel like that man. I hate this.

sunshyine everything blended together after a while 3/5

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Love roundabout Long and sprawling much like the instrumental sections in all the long songs. Tha amount of songs over 5 mins put me off a bit, pushed it down from a 4 to a 3.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

Very Christmassy - got the vibe going

Bummed

Happy Mondays

2/5

2.5/5 2 Probably won't listen to again.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

All the songs feel pointless in a way. Literally a fever dream personified.

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

Started off bad, but didn't get worse.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

4/5

quite long but I enjoyed

Electric

The Cult

3/5

classic rock album

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

5/5

i like the jazz but why is there is much talking. Like it's taking up half the run time. I do like live albums and jazz tho so 5/5

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

4/5

wasn't sure about on any other day but enjoyed the rest. Solid 4.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

short one today. I really like old country music however this was just alright. Not very upbeat.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

5/5

Fairport convention featured!!! I love this album so much.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

All of these songs felt slightly too fast and made me a bit on edge. Definitely some good songs but the live tracks were definitely unneeded.

Ramones

2/5

All these songs are so short they just feel like they're whizzing by. They all kinda sound the same too which isn't helping.

Achtung Baby

3/5

U2 is a mid band and this is a mid album. Mysterious ways is a certified banger though

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

the guitar speaks

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

4/5

the tracks are so long but i think it adds to the instrumentalism. When that song says 'play that funky music white boy', this is what it means. 3.5 rounded to a 4

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

2/5

why are we using cow bells in pop music and why do they kinda work. Legit sounds like it's straight from high school musical. 2.5 rounded down

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

1/5

This is apparently about a man in a coma hallucinating who decides to kill himself. This makes me feel like that man. I hate this.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

His voice felt quite tired but I did like the story the songs had. They all felt quite poetic and just overall had a sad vibe. I think I would listen to some songs again

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

Coldplay are just one of those bands that are solid. This album has some really nice songs that are just right when in a certain kind of mood. They feel gentle and like a warm blanket. Will definitely listen to again. sparks :(

Wild Gift

3/5

This sound kinda reminds me of Blondie with the drums and guitar creating a quick beat. These guys do it better though. Quite unmemorable but its not very punky on the punk scale so it can have a 3

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

This feels very reminiscent of when it was made. I really like this and will definitely relisten. The intro tracks really help bridge the gaps between each song so it feels like a very cohesive album to listen to. I might even consider upgrading this to a 5 on the second listen

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Neil Young just can't illicit any emotion in me. He is a mid artist with a mid sound. I get why some people hate him and I get why some people love him. I am neither.

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

1/5

The vibrato is reminiscent of Hugh Jackman's in the worse way possible and overall doesn't sound that great. It's a shame because the Bee Gees have some great (disco) albums and it's honestly an absolute travesty that 'Saturday Night Fever' isn't on this list. This genuinely make me wonder how they even got the gig for that album because this is uninspiring in every way (especially the lyrics). 1.5 rounded down

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

Not exceptionally memorable but a nice background listen

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

2/5

The first song was good but it just went downhill from there. This is very unmemorable

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

I must admit I don't really know that many rolling stones songs bit I really liked the blues influence this had and the mix of different genres

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

This whole album feels very cosy and chilled out. I can imagine listening to this whilst painting late at night.

Cut

The Slits

3/5

I thought this was going to be another rubbish punk album but was pleasantly surprised by the reggae influence this had. It made it much more palatable. I wouldn't say their voices are the best, but they got the job done. Some parts felt a bit discordant but I think that was probably intentional

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

I understand why there is some hype around it, it is clearly very experimental but psychedelic rock stuff is not really my thing. I feel like if someone else had made this it wouldn't have anywhere near the kind of reception it did have. Bowie has done so much better that this is just a bit of a let down.

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

2/5

The slew of country albums lately has made me more adverse to them. This wasnt yeehaw cowboy country as much but it still had it's moments. The blend of country and pop was kinda weird. 2.5 rounded down

Locust Abortion Technician

Butthole Surfers

2/5

The voices get lost behind the sound the instruments, but I'm not sure hearing them would have made this experience any better. The cover art is cool though

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

2/5

This felt like an angsty teenagers take on what love is. Lyrics are laughable (why talking about animals so much!?), vocals could be better but the instrumentation was ok
