Millions Now Living Will Never Die

Tortoise · 1 likes

5/5

Front to back fantastic and absorbing soundscapes

1-Star Albums (3)

All Ratings

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

1984

Van Halen

2/5

Frustrating listen, they get some good riffs in there but the whole tone of this album is so obnoxious to me. Jump is good, brownie points for brevity and a great album cover

Adele

2/5

I like it! First 3 songs and the closer are the clear highlights for me due to being way more dynamic than everything in between, but when we get several songs of sad piano and virtuostic vocals it starts blending together, even if it's not getting on my nerves

The Specials

3/5

Quite listenable all the way through some high-mark chunes spread throughout. "It's up to You" basically describes the whole plot of Mother!

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

Contains several of my favorite moments in all of music. Have a Cigar is neat but the clear thing not measuring up to the rest if the material. There's an argument this is the best album cover

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

2/5

Goodness this really wore thin for me by the end. There are a handful of moments where things quiet down for a little that I thought had some impact but so much of this otherwise stays in 1 mode to its detriment. Really lost patience with the vocals in particular

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Good

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

4/5

Strong and mostly consistent. Dan the Automator really gets to flex and that's usually a boon to any project

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

5/5

Really fantastic, varied, impactful. As Bharg said, albums like this are the whole reason to be doing this project

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

4/5

Lovely!

The Stranger

Billy Joel

4/5

classic album in my household growing up. strong highs throughout with a handful of songs that are in one ear and out the other. Like the stranger reprise hidden track at the end, great way to close out

Django Django

3/5

Hey really listenable and fun if not able to get over being very indebted to AnCo

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

3/5

Pretty solid for the most part but some tiresome tracks start cropping up towards the end and they're some of the longest to boot

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Relistened to The Boxer like 10 times today

Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle

Bill Callahan

4/5

Really quite soothing and consistent throughout

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

:dancing_couple_emoji:

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Opening track might be the best thing they've ever done

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Listened to OG. Rocks

Sister

Sonic Youth

4/5

I love dissonance

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

2/5

handful of moments that catch my attention but this is over an hour and is very samey. Doesn't really ever hold onto me and feels a bit one-note

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

We are the Blankies Green Album Listening Society

All That You Can't Leave Behind

1/5

Radioactive levels of pre-9/11

4/5

So engaging throughout except for at last i am free, but the rest is so fun and well-developed

Pacific Ocean Blue

Dennis Wilson

3/5

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

5/5

so eclectic, vibrant, and dare I say life-affirming

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

5/5

So many moments that live in my brain forever: the way Frank barks Tony, the leftover studio banter, Kim Deal's "ooo"s, the cord ripping out to end the guitar meltdown in Vamos, the verve of the drums, the incorrect Spanish just a million musical tics swirling around in my head coming from a sum of music barely over half an hour

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

Contains only great ideas and only for exactly as long as they remain fully great. An alt-rock miracle

Moon Safari

Air

4/5

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

Debut

Björk

4/5

Found this far easier to get on with Medulla. A pretty impressive opening statement for a newly solo artist

Cupid & Psyche 85

Scritti Politti

2/5

Just not my thing. Dying for a bit of edge or impact and I don't like the vocals

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

qu'est-ce que c'est!

Talking Timbuktu

Neat

Broadly enjoyable as a tone if a little one-note

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

Outside of the spoken word this really kicks ass

Front to back fantastic and absorbing soundscapes

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Good if too overlong at the expense of distintive songs

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

1/5

Hell ya Lenny I also think Prince is pretty cool

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Good album, bruce simply not one of my guys. Any time he gets repetivie it drives me a little crazy but there are some undeniable songs on here regardless

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

4/5

Really won me over by the end

Blue
