Jan 01 2026

The best way to start?! A fun listen. Otis is obviously a powerhouse, but the backing band is so tight. I miss professional studio-musicians from this era. Everything works. 4/5

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 02 2026

Good, but the album is of its time. Although Marr’s riffs are exceptional, the album can get monotonous. An average “must listen.”

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 04 2026

Respect the harmonies, solid musicians, but this is bland.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 05 2026

Phenomenal record

Jan 06 2026

It’s haunting , poignant, and, at times, a mess. The risks Mingus takes on this record are compelling, creative, and courageous. It’s an interesting take on redemption and mimics the mania of metanoia, but it’s too unmoored to be above a 3.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 07 2026

Albums like this is why I wanted to do this! This is fantastic!

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jan 10 2026

You can die not having listened to this.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 12 2026

The rhythm section reminds me of some good Rage Against the Machine songs. The Brazilian percussion and chanting are the best parts. This is not for me, but I appreciate the production on this.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 13 2026

Started slow, but got better.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 15 2026

This is not good.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jan 23 2026

It’s like listening to someone with clay feet run.
