Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Dec 30 2025

Classic 80’s album. Great hits surrounded by songs offering something different. Solid album.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Dec 31 2025

At this time, the Doors have an identifiable style. This is a Doors album with nothing uniquely worth revisiting.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jan 01 2026

From this era, If gives the vibe of the Strokes first album, but not every song is memorable. Fine listen.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 02 2026

Every song outside of the 2 hits sounded the same and found myself looking forward to the songs ending.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jan 03 2026

Run to the Hills reminds me of my dad. But the rest of the album sounds similar with not a lot of variance.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jan 04 2026

The samples and lyrics are great. The whole album is a good listen.

Ramones by Ramones
Jan 05 2026

Does the guitarist only know one rift? Although the album has some good songs, it does not offer too much variety. It is a fast listen though.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 06 2026

The flute. It’s a good easy listening album but not one I would go to often.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Jan 07 2026

The back half of this album offers more variety over generic pop. The French version is a better listen.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 08 2026

The last few songs did drag a bit. The first half of the album is a good listen.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jan 09 2026

Good flow listen, but would not be something I would go to for casual listening.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 10 2026

A song over 10 minutes? Mother’s little helper is a strong opening song but the rest of the album drags.

Ctrl by SZA
Jan 11 2026

Not for me. Very similar songs, with identical beats with different lyrics.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jan 12 2026

Easy county listen with good harmonies, but no song is really a stand out.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 13 2026

I’m sure people enjoy this. I do not.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jan 14 2026

An easy listen which each song having a different feel and surprise sound. Although no stand out songs, the album as a whole is a good listen.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 15 2026

Songs all offer something different, however none are stand outs. A good listen for synth, 80s pop.

Jan 16 2026

Some gospel influence, and good lyrics. Cowboys and Angels is a good listen with every song offering something different. Although no songs out for me as a repeat listen, often the album as a whole is good.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 17 2026

Overall good album. The middle does drag a bit with songs constructed very similarly. But a good and fast listen.

Jan 19 2026

There is some interesting song, particularly 5-4=Unity that is a mix of indie rock and jazz. Although I will probably not revisit and good surprise listen.

Jan 20 2026

Interesting album. Felt like a long jam session, but nothing interesting enough for me to revisit.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 21 2026

Initially shocking. But not something I would listen to ever again.

Leftism by Leftfield
Jan 22 2026

Nothing memorable but it’s an album that you can get into a flow with.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 23 2026

Good overall album, with a few repeatable listen songs.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Jan 25 2026

Quite different, had a good jazz and Latin blend. Good listen but nothing for me to come back to.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 26 2026

My nostalgia for this era probably made this rank higher, but the first 3/4 of this album is great, with the remaining still good listens.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 27 2026

For a live album, it was good. I do need to revisit it again.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 28 2026

It’s okay. Nothing that stands out.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 29 2026

Very easy listen. I enjoyed it but nothing that will take me back to the album.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 31 2026

Good concept album. As a whole, it was a good listen.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 01 2026

No song should be 16 min. An okay listen but not for me.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 03 2026

Soft rock listen but no stand outs.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Feb 04 2026

For a live album, it was fine. A short listen.

Feb 05 2026

Another 16+ minute song. It was a fine listen but not a album I’ll go back to.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Feb 06 2026

It’s a cliche hair band metal rock album. It’s okay.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 07 2026

First song is good, then the rest is more of the same. Fast and okay listen.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Feb 09 2026

Good hip hop listen from the 90s.

Smash by The Offspring
Feb 10 2026

Early pop punk with a few well known songs.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Feb 11 2026

A folksy easy listen.

Fine listen but nothing unique.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jun 30 2026

The second half of the album was better than the first, but overall a good album.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jul 02 2026

Like a cocktail hour where everything is fried, the 20+ songs did not offer much in variety.

Jul 13 2026
