Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
May 05 2026

Banger album start to finish. I knew the hits (Midnite Cruiser, Dirty Work, Reelin In the Years) which are great but there are no misses on this thing.

Disintegration by The Cure
May 06 2026

I get it but I just found it quite boring. There are some catchy songs and the instrumental/synth work is excellent. Don't think I would return to this one.

Harvest by Neil Young
May 07 2026
Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 09 2026

This was good! Very chill and easy to listen to.

Ramones by Ramones
May 10 2026

DNF. I hate this. They cant song and what are they saying.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 12 2026

Great voice with so much character. The song writing was fun and thoughtful.

The Cars by The Cars
May 13 2026

This was fine. Quintessential 70s rock, knew the hits. Some good guitar work but I dont see myself returning.

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 14 2026

This was great! Lou Reed has a lovely voice, the songs are very emotional and well-made. Guitar and bass work was excellent. Some slightly dated stuff about women in there but it is also tied up in his obviously very complicated relationship with his mother.

Scum by Napalm Death
May 15 2026

Very interesting. I have not listened to much grindcore but a lot of hardcore. I really appreciated the guitar work and the drums in particular. They are very raw and add a lot. The vocals are a lot but I get the energy behind them.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
May 16 2026

Surprisingly very good for someone who doesn't typically like folk. Drake has a unique voice that is quite beautiful. It took a little bit to get into the album but the second half in particular is fantastic (from Bryter Layter). Also all the instrumentation is excellent.

Vivid by Living Colour
May 17 2026

Very fun album. Strong political and social messaging mixed with fun songs and instrumentals. Some 80s cheese thrown in there.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
May 18 2026

High highs and boring lows. It really dragged towards the end after a great start. Running up that hill still awesome. Weird just but in the way I like.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
May 19 2026

No skips. Best of the early 00s alt rock. Obvs Mr Brightside but OnTop is a better pop song. Love it

Achtung Baby by U2
May 20 2026

People who said old U2 is good are liars. Bono is so fucking corny. Some of the guitar work is ok but the songs are so fucking boring.

Infected by The The
May 21 2026

Lyrically very cool, musically wasn't super my vibe. Very 80s weird rock.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
May 23 2026

I hated this, DNF after 5 songs. The music is boring as hell and they are the most basic stoner vibes imaginable.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
May 24 2026

Fantastically weird album. Really gets going at The Great Curve and doenst let up.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 25 2026

Boring generic late 00s alt rock. Just did nothing for me.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
May 26 2026

Absolutely fantastic album. Gaye has such an incredible voice, the tracks are so groovy with such beautiful instrumentation. Also very horny.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
May 27 2026

Did not like. Quintessential 60s bossa nova. Incredibly boring, exactly what you think it sounds like. LOWLIGHTS: Parada and Oba Oba.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
May 28 2026

Really boring. KEEP THESE WHITE MEN AWAY FROM THE ACOUSTIC GUITARS

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
May 30 2026

Quirked up white boy music. Had heard the singles but not the full album, was very fun. Particularly liked the matinee song.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
May 31 2026

Weird 80s singer song writer album but it was actually really good! Strange singing but great instrumentals, lots of character.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jun 01 2026

Very boring, not my vibe at all

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jun 02 2026

Great album! Beautiful singing, fun songs and great bass. I think it being short did it well as there wasn't a ton of variety and it did not wear out its welcome.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jun 03 2026

Ver dull folk.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jun 04 2026

Soulful, funny and thoughtful. Great voice and cool music.

The Score by Fugees
Jun 06 2026

Good album! Interesting production and some cool delivery. Not all tracks hit but more than less.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 07 2026

Funky, pretty good.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jun 09 2026

Solid singer songer writer proto-pop album.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jun 10 2026

I kind of hated this. 00s rock band aping 60/70s rock asthetics. I hate the inflection of the singing on this, he doesn't sound like that on other albums.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 12 2026
Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jun 13 2026

Bob Dylan is weird but good? Strange voice and I dont really get what he is going on about a lot of the time.
