So Much For The City by The Thrills

The biggest thrill I had was my decision to turn this off.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads

Sounds like how watching an episode of Friends or Scrubs feels.

Debut by Björk
Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Yes every song sounds the same and like Springsteen or so many other artists mentioned in reviews here. But I like it...?

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 24 2026

The blues sung with a smile. You can hear how much muddy enjoys the company and playing of Johnny Winter.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jan 29 2026

Gonna give it a 3 for neutral because it wasn't on Spotify to listen to and I can't be bothered to seek it elsewhere.

2112 by Rush
Jan 31 2026
My Generation by The Who
Feb 07 2026

While I am a fan and enjoyer of The Who, the two strong songs are not strong enough to carry the whole record in my personal opinion.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Feb 11 2026

Instrumentals were not bad but I could not stand the singers voice at all

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Feb 12 2026

Songwriting and verse phrasing reminiscent of Robert Hunter (Grateful Dead) These guys would have fit right in on a bill with the Dead and New Riders. Totally hear and appreciate the Dylan comparisons as well.

Tommy by The Who
Feb 14 2026
Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 18 2026

Shleep by Robert Wyatt

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 15 2026

Track 1 was insane. Blew me away, so funky! I just wish the rest of the record followed suit.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 16 2026
Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Mar 25 2026

I get my home internet through Virgin. So I guess I owe thanks to this record for my affordable home internet.

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 28 2026

Side 1 is a 5. Side 2 is a 2 or 3. So it shall land at a 4. I never realized how much influence Josh Homme from Queens Of The Stone Age takes from Bowie when really it's so obvious. On Sons of the Silent Age, especially. I'm in love with the croony, slapback reverby vocals on this record and I can really hear where Josh finds inspiration

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 29 2026
Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 30 2026
Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Apr 09 2026

Sonically very cool, love the percussion. But musically does nothing for me and found it rather boring.

Roots by Sepultura
