Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jan 07 2026

Enjoyed this much more than I expected to. Some lovely psych and prog elements in here that really expanded my mind on what folk music can be. Definitely a revisit for me! 8/10

Parklife by Blur
Jan 08 2026

I didn't have too much time to listen all the way through, but I can see why people really love this album. They have a lot of experimental elements, especially for a mainstream rock band from the 90's. "London Loves" is an amazing tune, btw! 7.5/10 for me.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jan 09 2026

5/10. Probably good for it's time in 96', but it sounds quite dated and bland to me. I imagine if I was a teen at this time, I'd probably have loved this album when it come out. But retrospectively? It's distinctly average to me.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 12 2026

8/10. Really enjoyed this one, much to my surprise!

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jan 13 2026

7/10. Not too shabby, I enjoyed it. great lyricist!

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 16 2026

decent. I enjoyed some of the tunes on this, especially 'Brief Candles'... What unbelievable lyricisim! 7.5/10

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 19 2026

9/10. Loved it! Super funky and some really interesting sounds

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 20 2026

5/10. It sounds decent but its not my sort of thing really

High Violet by The National
Jan 21 2026

4/10. Kinda boring, not for me

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 22 2026

8/10. Some great guitar licks on this banger

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jan 23 2026

Meh, its not my sort of thing. 5/10

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jan 26 2026

cool album.. from what I heard (not on apple music). 7.5/10

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 27 2026

8/10. Love the instrumentals... but not a huge fan of the vocal delivery. A solid album though!

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jan 28 2026

It was kind of shit, but kind of captivating. It was like Khruangbin playing whilst an old drunken, but mysteriously wise, cough syrup addict offered some spoken word poetry. Some portions were quite nice.. but 1001 albums to listen to before you die? I'm not sure. 5/10

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jan 30 2026

Half listened, nothing special

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Feb 02 2026
Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 24 2026

boring lift music... not aged well since the 2010's
