Elephant by The White Stripes

Gonna become like the squirrel 🐿️ Not sure how to describe my feeling for this album. These songs have some fantastic potential, but something about them sounds like they're still demos. Idk. Some songs also feel like it's good, then it's bad, then it's good, then it's bad, song done. And lastly, at points, Jack White's voice is just grating. Especially in 'there's no room for you here' and 'I just don't know what to do with myself'. Otherwise, decent stuff (except for 'its true that we love another', wtf was that?) 1. Seven nation army ⭐ 2. Black math ⭐ 3. There's no home for you here πŸ‘ 4. I just don't know what to do with myself πŸ‘ 5. In the cold, cold night πŸ‘ 6. I want to be the boy to warm your mother's heartπŸ‘ 7. You've got her in your pocket πŸ‘ 8. Ball and biscuit πŸ‘ 9. The hardest button to button πŸ‘ 10. Little acorn ⭐ 11. Hypnotize πŸ‘ 12.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions

The album cover gives 'I'm a nude photographer, but this is the first time I've seen a woman naked (my clients have only been men) I listened to this last year, hated it. Listening to it again.... It's not AS bad as I remember it. Nonetheless, I just can't vibe with this album honestly, no matter how hard I try. At a certain point I feel like I'm forcing myself to listen to it. His voice is horrid. The music sounds like it comes from a cheesy 80s/90s high school movie about losing your virginity to Chad and Brad. When you listen to the actual lyrics they're really dumb: "til a man comes along and he says 'have you been a good boy, never played with your toy, though you never enjoy, such a pleasure to employ" - just sounds creepy "Every time I phone you I just wanna put you down" THEN WHY CALL IN THE FIRST PLACE? I don't know man. At least on a second listen I managed to get through the songs. 1. No action πŸ‘ 2. This year's model πŸ‘ 3. The beat πŸ›‘ 4. Pump it up πŸ‘ 5. Little triggers πŸ›‘ 6. You belong to me πŸ‘ 7. Hand in hand πŸ‘ 8. (I don't want to go to) Chelsea πŸ‘ 9. Lip service πŸ‘ 10. Living in paradise πŸ‘ 11. Lipstick vogue πŸ‘ 12. Night rally πŸ‘ 13. Big tears πŸ›‘ 14. Radio, radio πŸ‘

Diamond Life by Sade
Jan 06 2026

Overall Sade is beautiful, her voice complements the jazzy instrumentals so so so well. Everything about the album feels so smooth and ethereal. I just can't comprehend the level of talent here, and it sounds like it's done so effortlessly. But, as a collective of songs, some of them just kind of let me down, it somewhat ruins the album as a whole. Particularly 'cherry pie,' 'Sally', and 'why can't we live together' Majority of these songs will be added to my liked songs, but the album won't be on repeat. 1. Smooth operator ⭐ 2. Your love is king πŸ‘ 3. Hang on to your love ⭐ 4. Frankie's first affair πŸ‘ 5. When am I going to make a living ⭐ 6. Cherry pie πŸ‘ 7. Sally πŸ‘ 8. I will be your friend ⭐ 9. Why can't we live together πŸ‘

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jan 07 2026

Me before listening: "Why is this album on this list?" Me after listening: "ok I low-key get it" It starts of with an abundance charm, the tunes are turning, but it kind of fizzles as it goes on. But it was a really fun listening experience, makes me want to watch the movie. 1. Title music πŸ‘ 2. One two cha cha cha ⭐ 3. Dialogue ⭐ 4. Countess' caper ⭐ 5. Naag devta πŸ‘ 6. Aaina wohi rehta hai πŸ‘ 7. Baby lets dance together πŸ‘ 8. Romantic theme πŸ›‘ 9. Mera pyar Shalimar πŸ›‘ 10. Hum bewafa hargiz na πŸ‘

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 08 2026

I really don't know how to describe my feeling without sounding generic. The lyrics are so incredibly raw and dense with storytelling, where the songs are written from the perspective of Springsteen's characters, it almost feels like you're vicariously living all of these different lives from post-vietnam war America. But when they're autobiographical songs, it's so completely emotive. I like that the instrumentals are stripped down for the sake of the lyrics and storytelling. Really liked the identical lyrics in both 'State Trooper' and 'Open All Night' which both have completely different meanings. It's so cool. I really really REALLY enjoyed this. A couple of songs that weren't it for me, but thats about it. 1. Nebraska ⭐ 2. Atlantic City πŸ‘ 3. Mansion on the hill πŸ‘ 4. Johnny 99 ⭐ 5. Highway patrolman ⭐ 6. State trooper πŸ‘ 7. Used cars ⭐ 8. Open all night πŸ‘ 9. My father's house ⭐ 10. Reason to believe πŸ‘

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jan 09 2026

Is it just me or were these lyrics incredibly creepy? It's giving that incredibly horny middle aged man who just goes for anything with a pulse. It's too much. I only really liked 'theme from Casanova' because Neil Hannon wasn't singing about school girls and not ever wanting to be deprived of Wonderbras and thunder thighs. And 'the dogs and horses' because he says goodbye - and with that I never have to listen to this again. I did not enjoy this. No thanks.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 10 2026

He's a pioneer and a generational legend, but I couldn't fully get behind it. I see where others would like it, I just can't do the screeching (for instance, in 'the beautiful ones') 5/9 tracks are genuinely amazing.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 11 2026

Trip hop usually isn't my thing, but I actually fuck heavily w this. Something so calm and serene about it.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jan 12 2026

1. McLaren is a horrible person 2. Idk what I'm listening to here. 3. What did McLaren actually do here in terms of production? All vocal/speaking sections are definitely not him, and none of the sounds were created by him because it's mainly sampled/plagiarised. The second half is better, but I will not accredit that to McLaren

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jan 13 2026

Idk I don't have much on this. Nothing really hit for me. I can see how it's actually good because the vocals are insane, but it just wasn't for me.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 15 2026

Every review I've seen says that this album is a perfect two hour experience. But I don't feel it, some songs feel like filler. Teenage me would've loved this. But now nothing is hitting me. Great layering and nice rock, just didn't hit personally.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 17 2026

It was aight. Very funky. Felt like the Persona 5 soundtrack at parts.

Low by David Bowie
Jan 18 2026

On a second listen, I appreciated this a lot more.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 19 2026

Yet another album that's loved and celebrated, and I hated it

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 20 2026

Started off strong with the first two songs, then dipped, then the last Voodoo Dolly got my attention again..overall, it was good.

I See You by The xx
Jan 21 2026

I mean it started good but got relatively one note. Just a bit bored by the end. But I gotta listen to more XX songs cause there were some bangers

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jan 22 2026

All I can say is that is was chill and well composed

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jan 23 2026

I've heard endless praise for Graceland, and when I get to it I will probably agree. But as my first Paul Simon listen, I am not very into it. P.s. did you know cars are cars all over the world? Fuck me I would've never known.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jan 24 2026

It's more like a 3.5. I don't even know what to say. There is a reason Tina Turner is considered a legend and icon. Admittedly there's a couple skips that I personally didn't like as much, but it doesn't erase the fact that this is a fantastic album.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 26 2026

I hate that I enjoyed this. Probably the best debut album of any artist, it's unfortunate that the artist is a prick.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jan 27 2026

Great songs, albeit a bit too drawn out

Green by R.E.M.
Jan 28 2026

> album is called Green > cover isn't even green Eh, not for me. Orange Crush and I Remember California were highlights but that's about it

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 29 2026

This album feels like a warm comforting hug. This album feels like a nice hot chocolate in winter. This album feels like the spring flowers blooming. This album feels like a lovely summer picnic with loved ones. This album feels like the most comforting comfortable-ness that ever comfortable-d 4.5 / 5

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jan 30 2026

It started off a bit slow imo, but really picked up after Tracy's Flaw

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Feb 02 2026
2112 by Rush
Feb 06 2026
The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 08 2026

Holy shit I just don’t like the velvet underground. The second album I’ve listened to from this band and I hate it. It starts strong with Candy Says, but then just gets worse and worse. Every song suffers from the same problem: it starts of great, continues in its minimalistic nature, and then goes absolutely nowhere, and then just keeps repeating for 5 minutes. It’s all the same. It doesn’t develop or just stop. I zoned out so many times, when I zoned back in it was the exact lyrics and instrumentals.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 14 2026
Murmur by R.E.M.

Thriller by Michael Jackson

ICONICCCCCCC

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 04 2026
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Apr 08 2026

I’m giving it a 3 because there is a lot of good in this album. However, and I cannot tell you why, I cannot stand Alanis’ voice

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 11 2026
Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 21 2026
Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 22 2026

Idk, 20 songs might’ve been overkill and it just felt so sporadic, but sometimes boring. A massive step down from Rumours. 2.5/5

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 28 2026

FOR ME, there were only like 3 good songs, and the rest were just massive duds. I can see why it’s so beloved, and I’m sure if I’d listened to it at another point in my life I’d maybe be more down for it, but it’s just not it atm
