Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

I already love the vibe from the moment the first song starts. It’s so chill! The kind of music to just kick back to.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

I’ve heard of him, but hadn’t listened much to his music before. I also did not realize he’s no longer here! How sad to read. But as soon as the first song started, I was immediately transported to the good ol’ Millennial days in the late 90s/early 00s. I love his voice! I definitely get a Beatles vibe in it.

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

5/5

Where is there to say? This is Elvis f**king Presley! His voice is so soothing and I could listen to him sing stories to me all day. What a legend and what a fantastic album!!! Favorite tracks: I’ll Hold You In My Heart I’m Moving On After Loving You Suspicious Minds

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

2/5

This album just wasn’t for me, but “California Dreamin’” is a classic that I will always love.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

The man is a gifted storyteller and musician and every song is like hearing someone sing a tale to you. But I had a hard time relating emotionally to his lyrics, so I can appreciate his artistry and also say that this album is not for me.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

5/5

Wow, this was a surprise listen for me. I LOVED this! It felt like I was stepping into a movie with Tron/Blade Runner/Stranger Things-vibes and I thought some lyrics (especially the song about the model lol) were so absurdly silly that I literally laughed out loud. But I absolutely loved this and would totally listen to it again as background music when I need to feel like I’m going into another planet or something!

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

Embarrassingly, as a middle-of-the-road Millennial, I’ve never listened to a Beatles album from start to finish. Have only ever listened to the many different hits that we all know and love. But this album has got to be one of the greatest creations of music of all time. I was so excited when I got this today! Loved every single song. This is an album I’d reach for when I want something comforting to listen to.

Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

1/5

I love Peter Gabriel, but this album just wasn’t for me.

Foo Fighters

4/5

I’m a big Foo Fighters fan, but I was only familiar with songs from their 2nd album and beyond. I was really excited to get this album and start from the beginning! And it delivered more than I could’ve hoped for. This is a SOLID rock album. Unsurprisingly, it gave me Nirvana vibes but Dave Grohl is such a unique vocalist and has always laid his own path.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

4/5

So many bangers on here! Independent Woman Pt I, Survivor, Bootylicious, Dangerously in Love, and so on. This reminds me of my younger years and I can’t help but dance when I hear this album. So fun!

Hms Fable

Shack

1/5

Hadn’t heard of them before and had a hard time connecting to the album. Not for me.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

I am not a country fan, but I am most certainly a Johnny Cash fan! Absolutely love him. This was so fun and I loved hearing his commentary in here since it’s live. What a guy and musician!!

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

5/5

I’ve heard of Steely Dan, but never listened to them. And I immediately fell in love with their sound by the opening of the first song!! This stuff is soo good!! I’d have this be playing in the background all day.

Want Two

Rufus Wainwright

3/5

I only know Wainwright from his cover of Hallelujah, but damn is he a talented vocalist and musician. I love how theatrical he is and how operatic his songs are. That being said, this album isn’t something I’d go searching to listen to in any context aside from wanting to put it into a movie or TV show. My favorite songs are This Love Affair and Waiting For A Dream. I sort of got Robbie Williams vibes in the latter song!

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

Joni is an awesome storyteller. Love the chill vibes of the album, but it didn’t pull at me in any strong way.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Felt a bit sad to receive this album, but what a throwback to hearing “Rehab” for the first time. Amy was (RIP) such a talented vocalist and the album was so fun to listen to. She is so rare and I don’t think we’ve had anyone quite like her since.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

5/5

This project has made it clear I am a synth-pop fan since one of my first 5 stars was given to Kraftwerk, a major influence of Depeche Mode! I am now learning that 5 stars, for me, is given to any album I will happily have playing in the background with no skips. This is one of those albums and was so much fun to listen to! There wasn’t a song I wasn’t bobbing my head to.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

5/5

Ok, I’m surprised how much I loved this seeing as how I never felt particularly drawn to Bob Dylan’s music. But this was SO GOOD and soothing and it was the perfect background music to read a book to. It felt like I was being sung lullabies in the first half. And the second half was fun and pumped me up. He really is something special.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Woof, I got nervous getting this since the movie just came out and it’s bringing back all the controversy. But if I had to separate the art from the artist, this is a solid album. Not as epic as Thriller, but probably the last album of his chronological discography I would consider solid.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

Liked the vibe in their first song, but then the rest all just felt similar and unremarkable to me. I was also in a bad mood, so not sure if that contributed, but they sound similar to other psychedelic-type rock artists from the 60s. If I am going to reach for something with this energy, I'd reach for The Beatles.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

As an RHCP fan, you can imagine how excited I was to get this! And this album is just as good now as it was. Pure dopamine and joy and also such emotional depth, which RHCP was always strong at underneath it all. Love love love them for life!

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

I’m biased going in as a Radiohead fan and it was a joy to be asked to listen to this from start to finish after a very long time! And it was even better than I remembered. No skips. So so so good.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

I love this rock opera vibe. It’s giving Queen energy. What an epic vocalist! I feel like I had to clap after the last song. What a gem.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

I have never listened to Nina Simone besides her hit songs. She is SO GOOD. The first two songs in this album are gems (I Love Your Lovin’ Ways and Four Women) that made me want to straighten my spine and go out into the world and cause trouble. I felt so empowered! I’m so pleasantly surprised at how much I loved this and how comforted I felt by it.

Brothers

The Black Keys

5/5

Now this is my kind of music. No skips. Could be happy hearing any of these in the background.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

5/5

Solid album. I’d be happy if I were to hear this album playing in the background anywhere I was. Of course, some lyrics are a little outdated but it was the 60s and I’ll give him a pass on this one. Mr. Tambourine is easily one of my favorite songs ever. So good.
