Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins · 1 likes

3/5

I was conflicted on what to rate this because some songs are sooo good (tonight, tonight, galapogos, 1979) but others were so harsh and grating that I had to skip.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet · 1 likes

4/5

I imagine this playing in a hotel restaurant in downtown Chicago…

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

3/5

Jazzy! Listened while making brekky and it kinda hit :) liked the instrumentals especially piano and sax

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

more jazz, which I truly hadn’t listened to much before this week, guess I’m a fan?! this one felt a little more funky, pretty upbeat, again great instrumentals… it’s a longer album tho with 2 discs and some side chatter since it’s live at Newport which makes it feel like someone is telling you an old story

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Love the first song… the last one was good too. Some of the others were a little creepy (mother stands for comfort, waking the witch). Overall super creative but wouldn’t necessarily listen again. Love the dogs on the album cover tho. Witchy vibes, would maybe play around Halloween??

The Doors

3/5

Ok so maybe I just like all music… I especially liked the piano solo in crystal ship. Light my fire was cool too. Kind of iconic that the last song is called the end. Don’t feel like I need to listen again tho.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

First album we’ve had that I already had songs saved from. I love it. The boxer I could listen to on repeat forever bc it makes me feel content. I like the instruments and the harmonizing and that the songs tell stories.

Bongo Rock

Incredible Bongo Band

2/5

The drumming is quite skilled but all the songs kinda sound the same to me. I was tired of it by the end (I say this as if I made it to the end, I did not). Liked some of the covers (Wipeout) but like the original better…

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

great content, California Dreamin is a longtime fav but hadn’t listened to any of the others before, I’m a fan :) might have to make Monday Monday my alarm for mondays it’s very relatable, also low key want do you wanna dance to play at my wedding

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

cover art is giving cool dude energy we love mountains and dogs but ik that’s not what I’m supposed to be evaluating… listened to this while studying and it was mellow enough to be good study music but I do NOT like the song about shooting someone down by the river. jail. the violin in running dry was awesome tho

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

not my vibe. already had enjoy the silence saved tho, I do like that one

Tracy Chapman

5/5

Beautiful songs plus social justice messages 🤩 I had fast car and talkin bout a revolution saved already but just saved 3 more!! I love music with meaning — she’s so talented.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

2/5

I wanted to like her but I don’t :// Also re the album cover don’t smoke friends, risk factor for like every single thing in medicine except ulcerative colitis #funfact

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

2/5

perhaps electronica is a genre I don’t care for, also death not my fav topic

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

Good not great. We hate it when our friends become successful was low key funny…

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Cool sounds and good voice. I think these would be fire live but the recording’s not doing them justice.

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

4/5

Iconic

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Umm embarrassing because I was like who’s MGMT??? And then realized that I’ve heard at least 3 of these songs many many times without ever knowing the artist. Good vibes 😎

Boston

5/5

Listened with Nina while we were having a quintessential BOSTON snow day. Took the red line downtown and listened on the train. Obviously love more than a feeling but discovered some other good ones!

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

2/5

I think it says something that my favorite song on this album has no lyrics (a maidens prayer). I find his voice quite annoying.

Everything Must Go

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

silly timing that there’s a song called australia iykyk album was nothing special imo

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Elliott Smith

3/5

The guitar is kinda relaxing but album as a whole is mid

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

1/5

actively dislike

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake
