4/5

Not my fave talking heads record but it’s still a banger

All Ratings

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

All butt rock vocalists use these vocals as the blueprint. Crazy drums and riffs on top of everything. I recognize more of these tracks after the first minute than I realized I would. Fell on Black Days, Head Down, Spoonman….what’s not to love!! 4/5

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

2/5

Really delicious synths and of course the hits are worth it but the rest of the album is forgettable on first listen. Witness and I’ll kiss you are fun. I think I’d like to revisit.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

I don’t think I had listened to this all the way through before!! What a rollercoaster of emotions. The skit where she fell off the bed made me LOL. I think my favorite line was “hold your horses I’m about to show you who the king of intercourse is”

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

The hits are great but I don’t gravitate towards the rest

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

She walked so Adele could run. Literally didn’t know will you still love me tomorrow was a cover until today 💀 Lots of surprise bangers on here

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

3/5

Unassuming at first but turns into an epic. A sailor’s life truly swells

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Starts really strong but doesn’t go anywhere in particular

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

3/5

Not sure what to expect with this one. I think I’ve listened to later works with my dad. First track gives way to some supersonic highway type feelings. Really stunning to think this was done before the 80s. The rest of my notes disappeared but this was a fun one to commute to and a good precursor to a Project Hail Mary viewing later on. Not sure I’ll revisit without the influence of something…

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Approaching this with a perhaps misplaced sense of dread cause this just isn’t my thing. Them Bones has Guitar Hero Nostalgia for me but the rest of this is really dragging Rooster is fine I guess Just unlikeable whining through most of the record. I like the chugging guitar riffs but the vocals often kill it for me. When this ended I said audibly thank god this is over. 2/5 for them bones alone

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

4/5

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

I loved the piano, Underrated Bowie album.

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

First ever listen through. Not my usual thing but fun to listen to with undeniable influence

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

2/5

Like more orchestral arctic monkeys—slinky but in a cringey way that they were able to wrangle later on in their albums.

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

3/5

Fun! Really great use of sampling

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

3/5

Not for me

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

More hootin and hollerin.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

4/5

She is just such a diva Went back and listened to the title track twice A change is gonna come gave me full body chills

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

2/5

First track rips I listened to a lot of future funk in my early 20s that this clearly directly influenced. You can tell gorillaz is influenced by this too The rest kind of devolves into cringiness

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Not my favorite Bowie record

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

2/5

So much yelling. Gets really repetitive but the Nostalgia Hits are still really good.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

The United States Of America

2/5

Questionable. Good for a quiet listen on a substance. Really hits you over the head

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

3/5

Ripple is a masterpiece

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

3/5

White Ladder

David Gray

2/5

Very guy with a guitar at the party, but this time he’s got a synth and drum machine. First two songs were promising but the rest proved to be forgettable at best, grating at worst.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Mehhhhh. Proto arctic monkeys with a twist that’s more grating than anything else. DNF

The Man Who

Travis

2/5

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

I’m never going to choose this style when listening on my own. This kind of music thrives a few beers in, live, with your pals at the pub. I’ve got respect for a big ensemble like this though By the time I got to ‘Fiesta’ I was thoroughly overstimulated

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

3/5

Loved souvenir off this and the music video was amazing but the rest was forgettable

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

God I love this album. My first five star!

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Tea for the Tillerman
