Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

1/5

Solid vibes, but the kind of rock and roll that just washes over me. Can’t really make out lyrics, and when do they’re clearly just there to contribute to the overall sound then to be parsed on their own. The original that became distilled down to every generic filler rock ost for eternity

Blunderbuss

Jack White

2/5

Like this one a good bit The Sorta rap is fun and I’m a sucker for simple instrumentals + vocals Kinda fell into some generic rock slop later on but it’s solid

Tommy

The Who

4/5

Crazy that this is where Pinball Wizard is from. I’m just an absolute sucker for concept/story albums. I think some of the transitional songs were a bit clunky, and I’d have to sit with it more to really eek out what its trying to say. I think the mental illness savant plot line is incredibly dated, but comes either the territory for an album round this time. Songs themselves were just really great to listen to, overture and underture were a great sign that this album was going to be pretty good.

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

5/5

Just an absolute banger. Its funny, sets an amazing mood and almost every song stands out from eachother- fantastic

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

I’m absolutely miserable about talking through jazz, especially something so ephemeral as 40 minutes of pure jamming. Loved the sound, amazing vibes- can’t quite say it fully captured my attention the whole way through but I listened through it twice

Pelican West

Haircut 100

4/5

Completely surprised by how this group sounded. Not a crazy emotional connection but I was immediately impressed by modern their sound felt. Its the kind of bouncy pop music I expect out of like a glass beach. Super fun enjoyed a lot

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

1/5

Just real bad. Simple man is alright and free bird is great but the whole album gives off a real pathetic vibe. The folky stuff does not work here and is just largely forgettable

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

Certainly an album. Not outright bad but it just washed over me. No particular song stood out and the soundscape didn’t really engage me.

The Modern Dance

Pere Ubu

3/5

Pretty fun! The scattered sound and rambling lyrics make this stand out- but the full package is just fine

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

1/5

Just sucks

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

5/5

Just one of my favorite albums ever. The vibe this gives from the very beginning is incredible. The way it shuffles samples and voices is so ahead of its time and so so fun. My favorite off the album is Midnight in a Perfect World

Adele

3/5

Really hard to rate considering her place in modern pop lol. Makes the album itself less cohesive but the singles are pretty fantastic

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

A classic. Judas priest has an incredible sound. This album has a few stinkers but when it hits it hits

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

Solid, glad to know where that Christmas song is from

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Just amazing, Rock on

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Great sound, I love the atmosphere- not sold on the lyricism and how the vocals kinda blend together

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Fantastic

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Ccr are legends but I’ve been inoculated to this style of country to put this album among my favorites

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

4/5

Such a banger. Love the way Alanis sings and the songs all have something to say.

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

3/5

Pretty good

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

2/5

Just fine, didn’t really get going at any point

The xx

4/5

Just a great time. Blends together a bit towards the end but gives me very melancholy vibes

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Wasn’t doing it for me. Great atmosphere but it didn’t really spark interest in me at any point

Joanna Newsom

3/5

Funky Demands that you really lock in to get the most out of it. Really difficult to listen to casually but in general I was a big fan

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

Beautiful Freak

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

Just cool

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

Just a great time

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

like I get why this genre became the default elevator music /pos Girl from impena is so good

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I’m a big fan of the singer songwriter genre, just a chance for the artist to tell a story. Blue did not dissapoint, just a poignant story of love and loss, was a great listen

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

2/5

I’m a fan of this sound but the whole album completely melted into a mush

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

4/5

It took me some extra time to get back to but it really hit on my second attempt. Hit the same parts of my brain a hyperpop song would

The Joshua Tree

2/5

Just a sound I have really grown tired of. Some singles are alright but in general I zzzz

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

Fight the power

Follow The Leader

Korn

4/5

So iconic, but feels particularly juvenile looking back. Fred Durst absolutely can’t reclaim

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Eepy sleepy but in a pretty good way

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Okay wow this album rocks. A little bit of a tired in the nose kind of protest song but it just sounds really good. The instrumentals all over School were so groovy and really broke up the rock sounds perfect

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

2/5

Just fine, could be much worse

New Forms

Roni Size

3/5

I sleep

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

2/5

Just fine

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Great vibes, I need to develop my palate for jazz

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

I liked this one a bit more thean the last jazz album we had, will need to relisten to this one a few times

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

Genuinely a nice listen, it’s the kind of melodic folk country I actually like quite a bit- before it goes all beer for my horses

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

A surprise! I loved the way it shifted into a kind of fantasy folk album and Tim’s vocals were a treat

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

3/5

First song set a really good time and energy that didn’t really carry through to the test of the album. Listened through it twice though

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

1/5

Just lame. Love the instrumentation but subject matter is so weak

Dire Straits

3/5

Just super solid. Didn’t really grab my attention but a good listen

Born To Be With You

Dion

4/5

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

5/5

Man. I am such a sucker for well constructed sample songs. I’m not sure if the whole album is a perfect five, but its just good the whole time with massive peaks with Since I Left You and Frontier Psychiatrist. Love the way this album sets its tone so simply and stays just long enough on each beat

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

Solid catchy songs and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Like a lite blend of abba and the beatles, just not quite making a mark

Ten

Pearl Jam

3/5

The slightly more modern rock was nice but it quickly developed its own kind of sludge

Melody A.M.

Röyksopp

4/5

Fantastic. Really catchy Melodies, and the intercut vocals across the track set a great tone

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Incredible album. Every single song is a banger, hits such a particular mood and has an all together unique sound even after all this time. Played this one almost three times in a row today.

Paul Simon

4/5

Fantastic

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

4/5

Heavy

Pyromania

Def Leppard

3/5

Like fine
