Blackstar by David Bowie

What an absolutely amazing album. When it came out, I was a teenager obsessed with Bowie - this album coming out right as he passed away made me put off listening to it for 10 years. I knew it was sad, I knew it will be very emotional and I guess I just never found the courage to face the fact of one of the greatest artist to ever live, passing. That said, I'm thankful that it was included here and made me listen to it. It definitely was everything I thought it could be and so much more. David Bowie is not a controversy seeking (or just being himself) artist anymore here - he's an older man who has seen everything and shares what that everything gave him. You can't expect his voice to be so high, raspy, crazy as it was on the earlier stages of his career, but it doesn't have to be. He's soothing, he lures you into his world and, I'm sure, a visit there will change yours with every listen.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Mar 21 2026

not surprising it's a good album - hard to find a bad one in Beatles catalogue. Songs to dance to, songs to say I love you for the millionth time to and one weird jealousy song. I guess it's an artifact of an era, but still threw me off guard. Definitely will be coming back to this one on certain occasions, however I know those occasions will be rare.

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 22 2026

I'm definitely not gonna be a Sade fan, but happy to discover here more than ever before. I don't feel that CLASSIC quality, but the second half finally feels like something.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 23 2026

Vibey. Icon. Makes me slowly move in a weird way. Overall great stuff, not my everyday type of stuff, but definitely will be coming back to this on evening walks or putting it in background of lowly lit cooking with someone.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 24 2026

Didn't really find anything about this album that would make me interested or want to come back to this one. As much as I hate to admit it, everything he's done on the record, has been done better than other people (probably inspired by him) since.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 26 2026

Never really heard any Stones album - I like it. Sounds like everything complements other parts really well, from vocals to guitars to drums. I just don't feel like there's much to say about it - good formula done well.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Mar 27 2026

Was surprised to find an album I didn't even hear about here. Well, it didn't turn out to be a hidden gem for me.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 28 2026

Album to get ready to go out on a Friday night to, as well as album to spend a nice Saturday morning to. FUN

The Predator by Ice Cube
Mar 29 2026

It's a good album, a bit dated, but the energy radiates through the speakers. I feel like I'll be not returning to this one, because I'm too white and European though.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 30 2026

Did not expect this from Bee Gees - came in looking for some disco, was pleasantly surprised to hear some alright baroque pop (?). Not bad, not great - might revisit.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 31 2026

great album - don't have much to say about it

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 01 2026

I like it, feels very 80s and that's not a bad thing. I imagine going through the city with this on headphones, feeling like in an intro to some movie.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Apr 02 2026

Ever since starting listening to this album I felt like I was listening to something important. Of course I knew the singles, but the album feels really cohesive and I really liked it.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 03 2026

DJ Max music - ok for me, ok for work, wouldn't recommend to anyone I know.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 05 2026
Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Apr 06 2026

I truly love this album, don't wanna get into cliches, but it really changed how I viewed music when I was like 16. The repetitiveness isn't a flaw, it's a tool and it's effective

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Apr 07 2026

I understand the comparisons to Beatles now; I would say it has worse, cleaner vocals, worse arrangements, but overall it would end up somewhere in the middle of the Beatles discography - it's consistent and just clicks. Great background, driving music.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Apr 08 2026

it's alright, nothing interesting in it for me though

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 09 2026

boooring don't know how to explain it, but it's the kind of an album that gets stuck in your car - you get used to it, you may like it or consider important to you, but it would never happen if you weren't stuck with it by force

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Apr 10 2026

Got this album right after listening to Calenture by The Triffids and wow, those are just two ends of a spectrum. Never thought otherwise, but comparing one overproduced, painfully boring album with this one is a car vs train situation. It's easily one of Bob Dylan's best, everything just flows and he has this ease of grabbing your attention. Great stuff.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Apr 12 2026

I really like Madonna, but this isn't it; especially compared to her other works of different genres.

Revolver by Beatles
Apr 14 2026

great album, nothing I'll write here will say anything that wasn't already said about it. 2 points: - yellow submarine is by far the worst - peaks with tomorrow never knows at the end

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Apr 15 2026

didn't really find anything interesting about this album, but I'm not a trip hop fan and I mostly heard only classics of this genre, which in comparison are way way better

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Apr 16 2026

Way better than I expected - out of all pop albums of early 2000s, I think I'll be coming back to this one. Great vocals, interesting beats, the only thing I don't like about this one are the ballads, but they sell.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Apr 18 2026

Great album, never would have listened to it on my own, but it kept me engaged all the way through.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 20 2026

fun, captivating album. Feels like cigarettes in the morning in the new city, when you're stressed about the job, but don't have your laptop with you so there's nothing to do about it other than chill.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 21 2026

not great, but better than I expected it to be. Fun arrangements, good vocals - I can see why people like it back then, I wouldn't listen to it though.

Apr 22 2026

the energy is immaculate, he could literally play coldplay repertoire and it still would be fire

Apr 23 2026

tbh more boring than the coldplay album; not terrible, but sooo boring

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Apr 24 2026

ok album, didn't really wanted to go much into the lyrics which I assume should be the strongest point here, so I'm leaving kind of neutral score. The sound itself is good enough to make me leave it in my library.

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 02 2026

cool album: - great guitar - i don't like the vocals - ice cream man is a weird song to put here

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
May 05 2026

nostalgic, i just don't think it aged that well or I would listen to it if I hadn't played tony hawk for my whole life

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 14 2026

that was awesome, raw, lyrical and most importantly, sounds beautifully raw. One of the greats.
