So by Peter Gabriel
Dec 23 2025

Even better than I remembered, one hit after another

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Dec 24 2025

Good start, songs end up sounding the same; quite a long album

Nevermind by Nirvana
Dec 25 2025

Very impressive album. First half is insane, it seems like a greatest hits album.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Dec 29 2025

This ain't no trumpet playin' band! This guy does things with his guitar that I like. A lot!

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 30 2025

Everything is good on that album. I would not have guessed the year, it sounds way more modern!

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 31 2025

Perfect for a melancholic evening

Fun House by The Stooges
Jan 01 2026

Never heard of this band. Not bad, lively, but the songs end up sounding the same

Jan 02 2026

Not very good, lots of complaining. Horrible lack of pots and pans, despite spending the whole album at the diner…!!

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 03 2026

Cecilia makes it all worth it. I know most of these songs, unsure from where. Enjoyable

Jan 04 2026

Unremarkable, I had to listen to it twice as I somehow wasn’t paying enough attention and missed it the first time.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jan 05 2026

Good atmosphere, excellent background music. I enjoyed it!

Odelay by Beck
Jan 06 2026

Andreane said: “Oh that’s from your album thing. It’s so unlike you.” I guess I discovered something new, because I really enjoyed it!

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jan 07 2026

Not bad, better than the other reggae album I'm about to listen to in the future on Jan 24th!

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jan 08 2026

Slam poetry before his time. Somewhat interesting, but I think Melody should get a restraining order!!

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jan 09 2026

A different genre for every song. I wouldn’t call it sensational though

Revolver by Beatles
Jan 10 2026

A few hits, but mostly songs I didn't know

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jan 11 2026

Perfect pairing with dinner and a glass of wine! This album is exceptional!

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jan 12 2026

Started ok, I thought it would be a three, but got very whiny from midway to the end

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 13 2026

Good album for a quiet Monday morning. Better than I expected, very relaxing

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 16 2026

It’s no Harvest Moon!

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 20 2026

So many hits, great opener and awesome sequence to close!

Blur by Blur
Jan 22 2026

Loved the start! Tapers off a bit, but cool guitar and voice. Good atmospheric album

Signing Off by UB40
Jan 25 2026

Feels very long. All sounds the same

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Feb 02 2026

Coming in, I thought I would only know one song from that album. I was right! Overall some groovy songs, some lengths, but nothing to write home about.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 03 2026

Three great songs, four ok ones. Three stars

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 11 2026

Unknowingly watched Bruce Springsteen’s Super Bowl half time show 30 min before listening to this album. Got pretty hyped and might have influenced this rating. Overall, pretty slow songs, but I quite enjoyed it. I might be a sucker for Springsteen.

Mar 04 2026

Not my favorite Pink Floyd album. I listened with headphones and Interstellar Overdrive has some crazy left right effects. I almost got dizzy!!

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 05 2026

The beats are made of the most annoying sounds. Still engaging as an album, though. I see why Paper Planes is the only hit I knew. Much superior to the rest

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Mar 06 2026

Not bad, not so special. I enjoyed the slow ones more

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Mar 07 2026

Pretty good, very different genre to what I’ve listen to so far!

Mar 08 2026

Very good, better than expected. Quite the start and still some pretty good ones later on

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Mar 10 2026

If the Beatles found Jesus. I like Pale Blue eyes, the rest: meh

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Mar 11 2026

Here’s another Richard-Alexandre exclusive: this album is ok.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 20 2026

Interesting album. Never heard of that singer, I’m glad I listened

Low by David Bowie
Mar 21 2026

Good start, not sure what happened on the back half. Terrible

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Mar 27 2026

LOVE the first song, the rest is ok

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Apr 08 2026

I might be more into hip hop than I expected, this was pretty good!

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Apr 10 2026

No thank you! Hated this, the whole album is one long complaint

Different Class by Pulp
Apr 16 2026

I enjoyed it, never heard of them before

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 20 2026

I was waiting for this one to show up on the list since I listened to Dire Straits at the beginning. Absolutely love this album. I was just waiting for it to pop up to rate it 5 stars

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Apr 22 2026

A better version of Madonna's Ray of Light, which I hated. Lacking some running up hills

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Apr 23 2026

Is it reggae or is it Huey Lewis? Either way, I liked it

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 25 2026

Wonderful find. Nice atmospheric music. Thoroughly enjoyed. I had never heard of them before. Will listen again for sure

Pretenders by Pretenders
Apr 28 2026

Big fan of Brass in Pocket. The rest is fine

May 01 2026

This guy comes up with one sentence and repeats it for 4 minutes straight. A couple catchy ones, but gets old

xx by The xx
May 02 2026

Very much enjoyed it. Especially the first song which is the only one I knew

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
May 03 2026

Light and interesting

Fragile by Yes
May 05 2026

I think I quite enjoy prog rock

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 09 2026

Quite interesting, very different and experimental

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
May 16 2026

The version I found was live, this guy is very charismatic. Quite enjoyed it even though it's not my go to music!

Tapestry by Carole King
May 20 2026

Good, nothing very special
