Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon · 1 likes

3/5

This was just ok for me. I don't love his voice and found myself wishing the album was over sooner than it was.

All Ratings

The Stone Roses

4/5

Enjoyed this album, reminded me of other favorite rock bands from that era (the smiths, pink floyd). I started to lose interest at the end, last couple songs were a bit too long for my taste.

Blur

3/5

Before I listened to this whole album I would have described myself as a Blur fan. Now not so sure... I'm surprised at how much I didn't like this album. After the first two songs (which I grew up hearing all the time), nothing really stood out to me. I guess I am just a fan of 3 Blur songs (including Girls & Boys, not on this album).

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I love the Stones and this album just solidifies that for me. Short and sweet, every song is pleasant and enjoyable to listen to. Makes me want to drive along the lakeshore with the top down.

On The Beach

Neil Young

5/5

Short and sweet. No complaints, this album made me feel like I should be relaxing on the beach. There's something so charming about Neil Young that while it is slow, it's still interesting and hits deeply.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

5/5

I love the talking heads! I was most familiar with Once in a Lifetime on this album, but I really enjoyed listening to the whole thing.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

I was surprised that I hadn't heard more of the songs on this album. But I loved it, it's such an emotional journey in the best 80s new wave way possible. So dramatic and fun.

Phrenology

The Roots

2/5

Decent, I like the old style of hip hop/rap and elements of soul, jazz, and rock. Not my favorite listen but I'm glad that I now know about this album and this artist!

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

4/5

This album screams Van Morrison to me. Pretty good, I enjoyed the listen. I appreciate the live recordings, they showcase what a great artist he is.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

2/5

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

3/5

Not too bad, can’t say I loved the entire thing but it’s iconic. Have to appreciate it for what it is.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

I love the beatles, and this was an album I hadn't spent as much time with. I really enjoyed it!

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

Interesting, I liked the singer's voice. Goddess on a Hiway was really the only song I liked, nothing else grabbed me. I can appreciate the experimental nature of the album but I will not be returning.

Green

R.E.M.

5/5

Really enjoyed this album, love R.E.M. Reminds me of my childhood, especially Stand. Dad played that song who knows how many times.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

2/5

Very interesting concept album, I didn't not enjoy it. It worked really well for me as background while working on something else. I don't think I would reach for this again.

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Led Zeppelin is a solid 6/10 for me in general, I always tolerate it and sometimes enjoy it, but never put it on by myself. This album was decent though.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Love Dusty. Just a joy to listen to. So much emotion in the ballads. I wish I could have heard her sing live.

Forever Changes

Love

4/5

This album was cool. It seemed to mesh elements from other popular bands at the time but created this unique fusion sound. I loved the live string and brass sections! I’m surprised I’ve never heard of this band or album before, it seems like they’d be more popular. But maybe they were back in the day and it’s just fading over time…

LP1

FKA twigs

4/5

I only knew one song from this album previously but enjoyed the whole thing!

Marquee Moon

Television

5/5

I really loved this album, and while it was long, Marquee Moon (the song) was awesome and kept me engaged throughout. Would definitely play this again.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Love Bowie, Heroes is one of my favorite songs of all time. I enjoyed this album overall but could do without Neuköln. I think there are better Bowie albums so this gets a 4 for me.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

4/5

Love me some disco, love me some Nile Rogers. I didn't love the slower songs but most were the perfect energizing backdrop for my workday.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

3/5

This was just ok for me. I don't love his voice and found myself wishing the album was over sooner than it was.
