Harvest

Neil Young

4/5

Ok truthfully I didn’t get all the way through it, but “A Man Needs a Maid” goes kinda crazy. I’m not even sure how much I like it but the orchestral backing is super interesting. I like how earnest it is

Arrival

ABBA

5/5

Basically impossible to disentangle my feelings about this album from my affection for mamma mia

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

2/5

Not my thing. Didn’t like the metronome-y woodblock sound in the back of a few of the tracks

Dire Straits

4/5

I think it’s pretty good! Dire Straights belongs to a category of bands that I haven’t bothered distinguishing from Steely Dan in my head. Whatever!

The Velvet Underground

5/5

All-timer

White Denim

3/5

Hadn’t heard of white denim before yesterday. This was pretty fun to listen to while we made bucatini carbonara. Except we didn’t have bacon or guanciale or whatever so we just used chicken but kind of over-salted it to replicate the flavor and it turned out really good! Do you think this got included because there just aren’t 1001 super famous records out there, or did they wanna mix in some more obscure stuff. I’m leaning toward the latter.

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Kind of moodier than my preferred Stevie wonder album (songs in the key of life) but Don’t You Worry Bout a Thing alone makes this a masterpiece

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

Some of my favorite songs in high school. Heavy metal drummer totally blew me away on this listen

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Sorryyy 🫣

Survivor

Destiny's Child

3/5

They’re so mean to the nasty girl in Nasty Girl :(

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

Technique

New Order

2/5

Very boring to me idk

Cross

Justice

4/5

Been listening to these albums at the gym and this is the first one that felt like appropriate gym music

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

if you're not a George stan when you're 25, you have no heart; if you're not a Paul stan by the time you're 35, you have no brain

1999

Prince

4/5

Never really listened to much Prince (shamefully), so it was crazy listening to this as an Of Montreal fan and realizing they have several albums that are essentially Prince covers

Gris Gris

Dr. John

5/5

So sick

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

4/5

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk
