Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 07 2026

A solid 7/10. I get why it’s so important in music history, but for me it sits more in “I respect it” than “I love it.” There are some great moments, and the production is insane for its time, but not everything clicks. At the end of the day, I walk away with 3 songs… which says a lot.

21 by Adele
Apr 08 2026

Solid 8/10 This one hits me. Emotional, direct and it feels real the whole time. Adele’s voice carries the album effortless. The songs hits hard and really stay with you.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 09 2026

A solid 7/10. I know this is a classic, and I really respect the genre and the musicianship… but it’s just not my style. You can tell how good they are, everything is well done, and there’s a lot of personality in it. It just doesn’t fully click with me. I get the impact, I respect it… just wouldn’t come back to it that often.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 10 2026

A solid 7/10. I’m not really into reggae, but I understand how important Bob Marley is to music overall. That said, this one is still a smooth listen. It flows well, it’s warm, and easy to sit through. It just doesn’t fully connect with me the whole time. I respect it more than I actually come back to it… but there are definitely a few tracks that stand out.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 13 2026

8.5/10. I love Fleetwood Mac, and this one feels like them just doing whatever they wanted. It’s messy, experimental, sometimes all over the place… but that’s kind of the charm. Not as clean as their other stuff, but way more interesting.

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 14 2026

8.5/10. Pure fire. This one just hits different—way more energy, way more attitude. It’s bold, dramatic, and doesn’t play it safe at all. Prince is in full control here, and it shows. Not every track is for me, but the highs are really high. Definitely one I respect and actually enjoy coming back to.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 15 2026

9/10. Bowie is one of the greats—irreverent, bold, and with a creative vision worth studying. I love this. This album feels sharp and intentional, like every idea is fully realized.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Apr 16 2026

A light 6/10. I like the energy—the guitars and drums hit hard, and I’m into that old-school punk feel… but I just didn’t connect with this one.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Apr 17 2026

6.5/10. I had never listened to this before, and it surprised me in a good way. It’s subtle, introspective, and really well crafted… you can tell why it’s considered great. It just doesn’t fully connect with me on a personal level. I probably wouldn’t add any tracks to my playlist, but I respect it and understand why it’s a good album.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 20 2026

A solid 7/10. Great album. You can tell how strong Radiohead is here. It has a bit of everything—moments that really hit, others that feel more experimental and don’t fully land for me. Still, the atmosphere and ideas are there. I respect it more than I love it… but it definitely has some standout tracks.

2112 by Rush
Apr 21 2026

7/10. You can feel how ambitious this is right away. It’s bold, technical, and fully committed to its concept. Not the easiest listen, but it pays off if you get into it.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 22 2026

8/10. It feels raw, real, and even more rebellious. it. Cash sounds completely in control, owning the moment.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 23 2026

A light 6/10. I get the appeal—it’s dramatic, over the top, almost theatrical… but it just didn’t fully hook me. I respect the ambition, but it’s not something I’d come back to much.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Apr 24 2026

7/10. It’s intense, chaotic, and super experimental… you can tell how talented they are. There’s a lot going on, and when it clicks, it really hits. But it can also feel a bit too much at times. I respect it more than I fully enjoy it… still, it has some really strong moments.

Apr 27 2026

6.5/10. I know how influential The Kinks are in rock history, and I really wanted to connect with this one… but it just didn’t happen. It’s well crafted and has its charm, you can hear the impact it had. It just never fully pulled me in.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Apr 28 2026

An 8.7/10. The first time I heard this, it really blew me away—and it became part of my taste and who I am musically. It just hits. The riffs, the energy, everything feels locked in. Definitely one I genuinely love coming back to.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Apr 29 2026

7/10. I know it’s a classic, and it hit at the right time for me—I’ve been listening to a lot of hip hop lately, so this fit perfectly. Super smooth, laid-back, but still hits. I even added a couple tracks to my workout playlists Not everything sticks, but the vibe is undeniable.

Apr 30 2026

7/10. I love Lana, and this is a really good album. It feels soft, cinematic, and very her. There’s a calmness to it that works really well, even if it doesn’t hit as hard as some of her other projects.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
May 01 2026

A 5/10. Honestly, this just isn’t really my style. I can respect the character, the roughness, and the whole smoky bar kind of vibe… but it doesn’t fully connect with me.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
May 04 2026

A solid 9/10. I love this one. Pure energy and magic. You can feel Hendrix changing the rules in real time. Definitely one I respect and genuinely love coming back to.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 05 2026

7/10. I get why this album is important, and it definitely has a cool, dark, slow-burn vibe. Some moments really pull me in, but others don’t fully stick with me.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 06 2026

A solid 7/10. This is Pixies’ punk side, and their style is really clear all over the album. And of course, it has one of the anthems of a generation: “Where Is My Mind?” A solid album with some really strong moments.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
May 07 2026

7/10. Another good Beach Boys album, with some really beautiful moments. The harmonies are still great, and when it works, it really works. A solid listen, with a few moments that definitely stand out.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
May 08 2026

5/10 This one has a lot of personality. It’s weird, cheeky, funky, and very British in its own way. Not connects with me, but I respect how unique it is.

Metallica by Metallica
May 11 2026

An 8.5/10. Pure power. Not every track hits the same, but when it lands, it really lands. A powerful record and definitely one I enjoy coming back to.

Illmatic by Nas
May 12 2026

I like the beats on this one. It has that classic New York hip hop sound—raw, sharp. You can tell why people hold this album in such high regard. Not every track fully grabs me, but I respect the impact and the vibe. A solid listen overall.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
May 14 2026

A solid 7/10. This one has a lot of raw energy and attitude. It feels messy, loud, bluesy, and chaotic in a good way. I ended up keeping a couple of songs, which is always a good sign.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
May 15 2026

6.5/10. It’s a good album, but it didn’t fully grab me. I like the raw, bluesy, folk-rock feel it has, and Rod Stewart’s voice definitely gives it character. Still, not every track sticks with me, and I don’t see myself coming back to it that often.

May 18 2026

A 5.5/10. I didn’t really connect with this one. I can respect the message, the soul, and the smoothness in the sound, but for me it feels a bit too light. It feels like it’s building toward something bigger, but never fully explodes. There’s quality here, no doubt, but it didn’t grab me emotionally or musically.

May 20 2026

7/10. This one has that classic country heartbreak feel—lonely, dramatic, and very clear in its mood. Not every track sticks, but the atmosphere is well done.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
May 21 2026

6.5/10. It has a cool, laid-back, experimental vibe, but it didn’t fully grab me. There are interesting ideas here, and the sound feels different enough to stand out.

Night Life by Ray Price
May 22 2026

An 8/10. Honestly, I thought this was really good, especially since I had never listened to it before. I even added a few songs to my cooking playlist haha, that says a lot. A really good album

Disintegration by The Cure
May 25 2026

A solid 9/10. This is an absolute masterpiece. Dark, emotional, atmospheric, and beautifully heavy without needing to be loud. Not just a great album from The Cure—one of those records that feels essential.

OK Computer by Radiohead
May 26 2026

9.5/10. One of the best albums in history. Every track feels like it belongs, and the atmosphere is insane. It’s not just a great alternative rock album—it’s one of those records that explains why albums matter. A true classic.
