Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Wonderful to listen to all the way through.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

3/5

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

2/5

this is hard bc there are good songs on this album but not great in the scope of Beatles songs… and then there are a few can misses.

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

I liked organ donor and why hip-hop sucks in 96 was funny. This album was proof that this experience will include albums that are important for reasons other than pure enjoyability. It did not suffer from lack of sounds.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

2/5

There are so many special songs to me on this album but I would just go for those and probably not play the whole thing very often… I feel like there’s so much lore and imagery to explore in this and it’s a work of art but it’s also a lot of effort to listen to, like poetry. But tread water and a little bit of soap and three is a magic number are bangersssss

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

1/5

Felt mountain? More like felt longer than 39 minutes mountain! I did like that it was a little spooky sometimes

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

2/5

I didn’t like this quite as much as college drop out. The themes felt a little more negative. But I still love runaway and Nicki’s verse on monster is unmatched

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

1/5

I kinda liked the vibe at the beginning but then it became more of a noise album. I can’t see myself listening to any of this again.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

Peak, perfect Dylan. All my favorites on one album. I listened all weekend

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

1/5

I like coffee and a starfish a lot, but the rest is a lot of talk signing in a creepy way about sex with long instrumentals :///

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

A fun listen but I probably won’t seek it out again beyond the first song. I saw that movie a long time ago and did not clock the music being so good lol

Spiderland

Slint

1/5

I wanted to like this one :’(

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

I’m torn because it was fun to listen to and I liked what’s the reason I’m not pleasing you a lot but I probably won’t think to put this on again…

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

I don’t mind a little Beck but this isn’t his best work. He’s like David Bowie’s was less talented cousin who makes less fun songs

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

The guitar slays the house down boots but the lead singer is so off putting to me I can’t get fully on board

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

I liked this!! Daydreaming and Be Thankful for What You’ve Got were my faves

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

2/5

I think I would have appreciated this more if I could have listened to it driving around on a warm summer day. It was not great feeding the baby music (save for old pervert, obviously)

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

I wish I could give 3.5! I loooove the song Tusk and Sara, and I enjoyed listening to the rest.

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

I knew I was gonna like it but I was surprised how much I loved it! I didn’t know the Police were so political (lol). Walking in their footsteps was my fave

Lazer Guided Melodies

Spiritualized

1/5

Very meh

Dirty

Sonic Youth

1/5

I DNFed :/

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

5/5

Wow this was so so good. I loved it.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

It was fine and I could maybe appreciate it more if I tried but I want it to be easy to love… like hunky dory

Low

David Bowie

3/5

Once again a Bowie album that suffers from not being hunky dory, but I like the first side of this one better than yesterday’s.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

not my favorite jazz album ever but a nice listen! I’d check out more of his work after this

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

My favorite off the album was the David Watts cover. I like their sound a lot even if I didn’t fall in love with any of their songs on the first listen.

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

2/5

this was really fun! Some songs were better than others (I didn’t love the middle one) but a nice vibe. I wouldn’t think of returning to it but I’m not mad at it.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

2/5

Better than I expected! I didn’t think I knew any of the songs but I knew North American Scum

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

3/5

I heard GMF on the current ages ago and loved it, but I hadn’t listened to more John Grant, and this was a blast. Love Silver Platter Club.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

2/5

I would love to give this a shot another day, but I didn’t have the attention span to give it its due yesterday.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

Reminded me more of the police than I thought it would! They have some sound overlap. I adore psycho killer. I have to imagine Tyler the creator’s sugar on my tongue makes some reference to the talking heads’s song, but I haven’t found the connection yet if there is one.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

3/5

That was lovely!

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

2/5

I know Steve Winwood can make songs I love—higher love, Valerie—but these were all just fine. Spanish dancer gets a point for putting DJ to sleep.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

2/5

Transformer

Lou Reed

3/5

I love his voice and I love walk on the wild side but this was so so for me. I think it’s an important album but not my favorite.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

This is my favorite flaming lips album. Yoshimi pt 1, ego tripping at the gates of hell, do you realize, flight test… love it.
