Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

3.5/5 This CCR Album was good but felt like the gas pedal was to the floor the whole time. Had so many great songs, but could have used a ballad or slow down in there. Also I heard it through the grapevine was unnecessarily long.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

I wish this album was better. This is my first time listening to any of it. It was calm and had some fun jazz elements but it was not what I am looking for. Giving it 2/5

The xx

3/5

This album is a nice and simple listen, nothing too dramatic or energetic. Great for a cold snowy day that I have right now. This album reminds me of my Alt-Rock era and the album ultimately leaves me wanting a show stopper song I cant help but sing along to, but the laid back nature keeps me from getting that. Overall, it was a good listen but not anything above average.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

What a great album, makes me think of my brother and playing video games with him. This album is full of hits like the title track, American idiot, boulevard of broken dreams, and wake me up with September ends. Green Day is a great example of early 2000s punk rock. I would gladly listen to parts of this album again and again.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

4/5

A Classic example of what R&B is. This is my first time listening to the album, but it felt so true to the style it felt like ive heard it all before.

Abbey Road

Beatles

3/5

For such an iconic album, this album lacks hits. Growing up my parents loved to play the Bettles greatest hits, and this left me wanting more. overall Id rate it about a 3.5/5

Raw Power

The Stooges

2/5

I did not like this album, it was all over the place the beat was rough and the vocals were mid.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Definitely an interesting album, didn’t get to listen to it in one sitting but that is ok. It was great to have on during the day when I was working but again it was nothing special I’d give it a 3/5

Moby Grape

3/5

This was a fun and groovy album. It was a wonderful way to start my day and I would enjoy listening again.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

2/5

This is a weak album and took way too long to listen to as it didn’t hook my attention

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

4/5

Love sitting here listening to this album, I’ve never made a point to listen to Van Morrison, but the whole time I could not stop tapping my toe and feeling the music.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

1/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

This album is so fun as it is like I am just sitting in a green room with Nirvana as they pick away and play and have a good time. While it is not what I expect to hear when I see the name Nirvana, it showcases how great of performers they were. I would listen to this album again.

Music

Madonna

4/5

Such a sterotypical 2000's pop album, I loved it.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

1/5

I love music that has a meaning, but this is a bit much. I did not enjoy listening to it. I want to feel good when listening to music, but this just made me feel meh.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

2/5

Honestly, I don't remember listening to this yesterday, however I know I did, therefore getting a 2 rating

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Sound of Silver was a good listen at work, the beats where chill and I enjoyed the album

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

I love listening to Elvis, there is something so soothing to listening to a classic like this. From the fuzzy record feel to the lovely voice, I can't help but tap my toe along to this album.

Destroyer

KISS

4/5

Kiss has always been interesting to me, their style screams heavy, but their sound is anything but. Overall, I thought this album was a pleasant listen and I would add Kiss into my regular rotation.

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

3/5

This album transported me back to a simpler time, it was a great album and just made me want to listen to more Alt Rock, after this album I went on a weezer binge

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

3/5

Based on the album art I was expecting metal, but was delighted to get electric, it was a good album to listen to while doing chores, none of the songs stood out much but it was a pleasant experience.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

4/5

Not how I imagined spending my Friday, but I enjoyed the vibe of this album and the instrumentation. This album made me want to tap my toe.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Any day I get to listen to Green Day is a good day. This album embodies alt punk rock and set my Apple Music to deliver bangers all day long, this album is solid.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

For an album that has Smoke on the water, this was a pretty un-rememberable album. It wasn't bad, but there wasn't anything to really get me to want to give it a second listen.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Who doesn't love Elton John, his voice is so smooth and lovely. This album would go into my rotation and for that it will be rated as such. I grew up loving Billy and the jets.

Duck Rock

Malcolm McLaren

3/5

This was an odd album that took me on an eccentric journey. I dont know if it was my cut of tea or not. Working on expanding my horizons.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

2/5

meh

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

This was a chill album, made me want to listen to Pink Floyd, so take that as you will. Overall, a good album, but it feels like its lacking just a little bit.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

2/5

not my style of latte, was boring and never finished the album.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

What an Iconic album, everyone loves Mr. Brightside but this album is full of other gems that are still in circulation today. This album is a great example of what pure ALT Rock should look like.

Wow what a beautiful relaxing album to listen to, to start my day. I love Jazz and Samba, and this was a quality example of the genre. I would love to start this way every day and would highly recommend this album

System Of A Down

3/5

This was a decent album, was hoping more from it, but also I was distracted and listened to it in bits and pieces.

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

5/5

This album surprised me with how much I enjoyed it, It was a wonderful jazz album and I returned to many songs throughout the day.

Channel Orange

I was pleasantly surprised by this album, there were a few songs on it that I would likely add to my rotation.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

not a bad album, was a drag to get through. id call it average at best

Pyromania

Def Leppard

4/5

This album reminds me of my childhood; I love me some def leppard. This is a great rock album.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Not a bad album, but it had some interesting songs on it, nothing super note worthy except the title track band on the run.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Love a good David Bowie Albumn, enjoyed this one and might listen again

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

3/5

average... I don t remember much about it, should have reviewed it sooner.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

4/5

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

This album was good to listen too, however I do not remember much about it, but its good enough to get a 3 star rating. I would like to listen again.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

2/5

Not a bad album, but there was nothing catching me, the first song I got excited about was when a Neil young song came on aftger the album played through

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

2/5

It was a short unmemorable album

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

1/5

What an odd album, I am all for experimental jazz, but this was an odd mix that frankly was not that pleasant to listen to. It strayed too far from the norm and was just bad. it was up there with Untitled (Black Is). Music can carry a message but after a certain point its lost and loses all musicality that would entice me to listen

Moon Safari

Air

2/5

Chill vibes but nothing groundbreaking, good music to have on while working

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

This was a fun album to listen too and there were a few songs that I recognized and loved.

Foo Fighters

4/5

Foo Fighters was a great album to listen too, I love this style of rock

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

3/5

Was not anything too wild, the transition between songs felt a little bit jarring.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus

Spirit

2/5

was not a bad album, but like many others, I did not hear anything that profound. I just always look for something to get my toe tapping.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

5/5

Talk about a relaxing toe tapper. This album was a wonderful listen as I sat and worked today. I think I will always have a soft spot for older music with its laid-back nature and underproduction.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

2/5

listened to 3 songs

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

This album starts off with such an iconic song, but I don't know if the rest of the songs live up to the expectations... However, I would still give this a solid rating and give it a 4/5

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

This was a beautiful album, the way Keith plays the piano is relaxing and lead to a great start to my morning.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

I did not listen to this whole album; it was a little to psychodelia for my liking

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

2/5

Exodus
