Melodrama by Lorde

I don't want to trow shade over her but i cannot for the life of me stand her singing voice. There's something about it that i just. cant. The lyrics and songwriting overall aren't bad either, it's really just the way she sings.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Apr 07 2026

Let the times roll: OMG las trompetas. Its so groovy !! so mmmhg yeah !!! and his voice!!! love it already. Feels very movie like for me (maybe it IS used in movies??) and very 50s. It is from the 50s lol. The quality of the audio isn't that great but that's no one's fault but technology. But it's the only thing so far that makes me kinda uncomfortable. I have to listen sith the volume on almost the lowest cause if not it saturates my headphones (and they're not bad headphones!!) It had to be you: the scratchy and the voice breaking is so ugghh. the piano, the drums. Love love. Kinda reminds me of my grandpa, but that may just be the jazz. Alexanders ragtime band: I'm really loving how the songs are all strung together, although that's to be expected in an older album. They really dont make music like before. I'm not really listening to the lyrics cause 1. i dint want to get disappointed and 2. can't really make out what he's saying Two years of torture: the song's name caught me off guard cause. I was thinking how this qould be perfect to have playing in the living room, while having some wine and petting my cat, just listening to music. maybe with some friends. Then i listened to the lyrics and it really just is a lovesick man with a broken heart. when your lover has gone: his voice has a really nice rasp, along with some vibrato that i really like and think pairs very well with the trumpets. (just saying whatever. honestly why do i act as if i knew anything about music) I would REALLY want to listen to this in a woman's voice. a nice mezzo, or even an alto, with a very warm and clear but rich tone. Deed I do: now it feels like one single song, to be honest. The whole album I mean. I like it though. It's mainly because of the drums. And at the same time. Isn't that the point of an album? and of jazz in general? to be one cohesive thing and at the same time every song and melody is unique? (again. just hooting and hollering over here. What the hell do i know about music? nothing!) Just for a thrill: oh this is very romantic. st least the start. like. the violins? (or are they violas? or cellos?) the backup singers? stunning. I love this one. I really feel like I'm in my couch having a drink and just listening to this, the low lights on, everything a very orange-y warm tone. His vocals are so nice in this one too. Love it, really. You wont let me go: like the start. still got that calmer vibe since the last song. He doesnt have that big of a range, but he makes it count, I belive. It doesnt really matter, the songs dont need crazy ups and dons for it to be good. Tell me youll wait for me: starts a little more creepy, more mysterious. Suspicious, melancholic. His voice sounds more strained at times, or maybe more like strangled. Could be emotion, could be the high notes. Who knows. I really like "youll wait for me" little riff? melody? Dont really know what it is. Its a nice passage. Dont let the sun catch you cryin: this intro really reminds me of some brazilian songs. Which ones i dont know. Tom jobim, probably. Yeah. Something like that. His voice is so raspy. (Ray charles', not tom). It really feels like an old disney movie song sometimes. Probably the saturated audio and the strings + the choir/backup vocals in the background. Am I blue: oh nice strings intro, very nice. It somehow makes it feel older. The flute too. Pretty melancholic. MAes sense by the title, honestly. And the whole style so far. What I think is the best, is how with the same instruments, with the same everything, he can give us both a dancing happy song and a sasd ballad like this. Love the ending piano repeating into the distance. Come rain or come shine: feels like coming back home half drunk, with the sun getting up. You're tired and heavy and your head is splitting and yet! The sun is so pretty and everything looks so peaceful and it's summer, so you may as well just stay up for a little more. MAkes me remember rio, for a reason. The streets leading to ipanema. Or something of that sort. Warm mornings, even after a full niht of no sun. Could be the global warming, the about of concrete and machinery on the coty. And at the same time it could just be that that's how it is. Overall, it's a really nice ending for the album. Give a little closure with all the buildup to the abrupt end, so it doesnt feel abrupt. Really love it. My fav has to be just for a thrill or dont let the sun catch you cryin

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 08 2026

bitter sweet symphony will always remind me of my mom. it feels like I'm borrowing her songs, her music, her style. sonnet i like a lot. it's still calm-ish, compared to the next one. I don't have much more to say i guess the rolling people: something in the guitar, at some poit, reminds me of ok computer. Don't know what really but there's something there. Maybe its the guitar paired with the echoey vocals, or SOMETHING im no music ceitic i cant explain everything dude okay I'll stop rating song by song now cause. too hard lol. but!!! i feel like they keep switching from romantic to depressed between songs. which honestly mood, yknow? but it puts me off a little. also im listening to catching the butterglu right now and it REALLY gives me ok compiter vibes..maybe it's a production thing od the época, who knows. I REALLY LIKE THE BASS AND DRUMS IN NEON WILDERNESS its so grrr i think its my favourite song so far. And it's comforting but also kinda eerie you know. (i searched it up and ok compiter is from the SAME YEAR almost the same day just a few month older. 21 of may and 29th of september) maybe its because the album is mlre than an hour long, but at the end it kind of just... didn't do anything to me. I'll have to listen to it again. But at the same time I'm going off the first listen for these so..... idk really. like it, but not wngouh for a 4 the last song was a nice surprise though al final, depsues de escucharlo una swgunda vez, me gustó mucho más. tal vez llegue a 4. the drugs don't work es otra favorita

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 09 2026

i really liked it!! so far all these albums are very well put together, like a single line of though, but this one has to be the best one so far. For me this type of music is PEAK study music, cause i can listen to in in the background without getting distracted. and Kurt's voice has something that i find so cool idk what it is. He sounds half dead and i find that so cool. I did givenit a second listen, go actually foxus on the sogns instead of the general vibe of the album, and i really enjoyed it both times. A very BERY sold 4. could maybe go to five. im not sure yet though

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Apr 10 2026

its very roadtrip worthy. that's the first thing that coems to mind. or cooking. or like a hangout with friends and making pizza. for some reason it gives me james potter vibes. i liked it a bunch, but I'm not sure if I'd listen to it again. I mean that in like. It didn't stand out, you know? maybe it's just not my style, or I'd have to give it another listen. But i liked it!! it's pretty good.

25 by Adele
Apr 11 2026

I mean. It's Adele. What else is there to say I do have to say it's not my usual style of music, and if it were someone else I wouldn't stand it that much, but her vocals make up for so much of it. Also there's so many iconic songs in this album nad it's just *cheffs kiss* Not sure what my favourite song is yet, and I'll give it s couple listens, but so far it's great!!!!!! it's not my favourite type of music, so I'll give it a 3, maybe?? i won't be listening to it again i think

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Apr 12 2026

ABSOLUTELY INSANE OH MY GOD????? HUGE FAN OF THIS ARE YOU KIDDING ME ITS SO FUCKING GOOD DUDE. I'd listen to thins of repeat over and over and over

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Apr 13 2026

this is what plays on a road trip when it's getting late and you are away from any real place to stop at night, but miraculously you stumvle upon a camping site and there's not much to do other than set up your tent and make a small fire and you have a guitar and your olay this with your friends and you're close enough to the fire for it to burn your faces, but the nights are hard around here and your backs are cold, and you kinda want to get away from the fire and at the same time you just want it to swallow you. And you don't have much food left so you try and fail to make a dinner out of it. And it's not the best but also not the worst you've ever eaten, and it'll have to do.

Pornography by The Cure
Apr 14 2026

love it. very witchy, very rainy day very autumn night, very grrrr Loved it. Comd is my favourite (but i already knew it so it doesn't really count i guess)

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Apr 15 2026

the first few songs felt very videogame-like, it reminded me a lot of pikmik Bloom music jsjsj. Soem songs were a little too weird to me, but i liked it quite a bit overall

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 16 2026

theres this one slng that reminds me of the bridge in potion approaches by AM MD RE GUSTO está bueno, como que las partes del final, que serían como las versiones alternativas de algunas canciones no me gustaron tanto en ealidad no es que no me gustaron es mas que tipo. no sé, era un poco repetitivo PERO ME GUSTÓ MUCHO lo voy a volver a escuchar seguro

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 17 2026

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 19 2026

I LOVE HER??????? ive come back to this album many times after listening and brother its soo good. the way that she sings, so effortlesslty, and how you can almost hear her smiling in soem songs are what i loved the most

Melodrama by Lorde

I don't want to trow shade over her but i cannot for the life of me stand her singing voice. There's something about it that i just. cant. The lyrics and songwriting overall aren't bad either, it's really just the way she sings.

Apr 22 2026

I liked a few songs but none of them enough to listen to it again, and it's a little TOO intense for me, i believe. And it gets a liiitle repetitive too

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 24 2026

this was FUNN abba zabba has to be my favourite, i believe. Its so ominous and silly at the same time

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 25 2026

I haven't heard much from cardigans (a big fault, i know) but everything i know i LOVE. Nina Persson has SUCH a beautiful voice, no matter ehat she sings, its sounds lighthearted and full of... idk. sunshine? I'm not great at focusing on the lyrics when i listen to new music, and so i have no ides what it's being said, but because she's singing it feels goooooood

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Apr 26 2026

it's a really good album!! and it was pretty good to listen to. Just not my style !! but really good overall

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 27 2026

belle and sebastkan will always remind me of my mother, she's a big big big fan, and so i know a few songs.Getting to listen to s full slbum feels really good, outside of the stuff i slready know slmost by heart from listening to the same few songs over and over as a kid. The whole vibe is very summer rain, very soft calm days where you dont have much to do, and you're just walking around.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Apr 28 2026

it's early autumn, and you're at the lake with your friends enjoying the last sunny, warmish days where you can go outside. The sun is setting, so the wind is picking up and the veach is almost deserted by now, most of the people having left by now. But you guys have a guitar and good conversation, even thought the pastries you brought are long gone and the mate is cold. The lake looks more like the sea with this much wind, and your cheeks are flushed by the cold and the laughter. The mountains make a beautiful contrast against the pink sky, and you're freezing, hands in your pockets and jacket zipped up to the top. This is what plays in the background.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Apr 29 2026

wierd, funky, and horny. what else can i ask honestly

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
May 11 2026

crazy trumpets and guitar but it's a little too much for my groove. the long instrumentals of solos aren't my style but it's till sick as hell

Rapture by Anita Baker
May 14 2026
Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 20 2026
Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
