Electric Warrior by T. Rex
May 16 2026

This feels like it took all the wrong lessons from a Beatles album or like a Mac demarco album but without the interesting guitar skills to make it really interesting

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 17 2026

Hard not to like an album with a banging 10 minute song in it. That being said the ending track was an actual letdown for such a solid half an hour of music.

May 18 2026

If I could give this a 3.5 I would. The first disk was actually ok had some highs had some lows. The second disk sounded like someone melted dark side of the moon in like a bad way. But alas I am a physicist and we round up.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 19 2026

Literally what is there to hate fr

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 20 2026

This sounded like someone listened to bob Marley and tried to make it as white as possible. I’d go as far as to call this a historical “Monica by Jack Harlow” moment

1989 by Taylor Swift
May 21 2026

Listen have I listed to half of these song a bajillion times against my will. Yes. Did that hamper my enjoyment of the album? Without the aid of alcohol, also yes. I actually did not mind the songs I didn’t know. Unfortunately I am unable to separate my feelings on the matter.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 22 2026

Don’t listen to the internet the best song on here is clearly eternal life

May 23 2026

Yo can that guy who is talking too close to the mic kindly shut the fuck up I wanna hear Kurt not your white fanboying ass.

The Visitors by ABBA
May 25 2026

Listen is it abbas best work no but like it’s abba isn’t never going to be bad

1984 by Van Halen
May 26 2026

Yk what I actually really fucked with this one

...And Justice For All by Metallica
May 27 2026

I feel like this is an album I probably should have liked more than i did it just feels very jagged like stop starty. Especially with the lyrics, which took me out of it a lil

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
May 28 2026

Guys I actively disliked this one. Not like oh i was neutral to it but I understand how people could like it, not “mmm i dislike it but that’s just down to my music sensibilities i can understand why people enjoy it” I genuinely don’t understand how people can enjoy this. I have never heard both a singer and a guitar, at the same time, sound like a dying cat. I’m genuinely perplexed at how you make a tuned instrument sound like that. Burn the guitar. Honest to god it’s got the soul of a coal mining Victorian child in it. There’s actually not even one redeeming song it’s just the same incessant whining for 37 minutes. I couldn’t even get over the sound of either of their voices to hear what they were saying and the backing was so genuinely terrible that I PREFERRED TO STUDY FOR MY EXAM THAN LISTEN TO THIS CUZ IT WAS LESS PAINFUL. Genuinely they play this at Guantanamo bay as a less humane way of torturing people than waterboarding. This is only getting a 1 because I can’t give it a 0. Now this is my first impression of Mbv but honestly if this is what it all sounds like I have to wonder how their fan base has any braincells left.

Lost Souls by Doves
May 29 2026

This felt like the backing track to a House MD season in all the best ways. God that show nailed its song choices

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 30 2026

This feel likes astral weeks done right, done way better. Gone is the horrid singing that covers over the pretty solid guitar riffs, but with the trade off being that the backing seems a bit more plain.

The Next Day by David Bowie
May 31 2026

It didn’t feel as coherent as the last Bowie one, but also felt like it was prodding at bigger issues, I’m sure if I prodded at the meanings behinds the songs more I’d find my self caring more but alas I have study to do

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jun 01 2026

This feels like some shit a discord mod plays when they fail to get in a relationship for the third time. “You wouldn’t understand me I’m too sigma” or some shit. The instrumentals were cool tho

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jun 02 2026

I fucked with the piano on here ngl that shit went feral

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jun 03 2026

This is like 1989 but I have good memories of the songs. I have no idea if I’m a nostalgia merchant but god they could write. A shame about their newer stuff.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 04 2026

I have no doubt that when this was released it was seen as either extremely ground breaking or a perfection of craft, but to me this sounds very nostalgic. Unfortunately it’s a throwback to an era where music is slightly more simple. Not that that’s bad but it makes it hard for me to rank. Given my modern sensibilities it sounds nice but quaint. But in a different age or perhaps mood I feel like I would be rating this higher. I’ve opted for a medium between.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 06 2026

This felt like it took a while to get going but when it did it was good. Closer to a 2 than 3 though.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jun 07 2026

Guys I’m a sucker for a cool guitar riff

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jun 09 2026

Oh fuck yes this is it (fav song pretzel logic)

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 10 2026

Yeah this was solid ngl. Less abrasive and more catchy. Some of the songs dragged on but as a whole the album felt good.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jun 11 2026

It felt like this one dragged more in places in comparison to the last one fav song(razor boy)

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jun 12 2026

This was groovy the 20 minute opener was like somehow the worst song on here. Second one slaps tho

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 13 2026

Eh it was good. I’m not gonna lie I zoned in an out but sounded enjoyable.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 14 2026

Ye ye ass music bro, what are they talking abt, couldn’t even get the vibe right

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 15 2026

NICK CAVE AND THE PEOPLE SEEDS??? IN 2026??? Will you would never get it like harsh and I do. This was cool but never really lives hype of the first song

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 17 2026

Yeah that intro definitely sold me on this vibe. Gets a bit samey the longer as we run along but hey the album isn’t that long so you don’t dwell on that for too long

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jun 18 2026

Like listen is the vibe great. Yes. Does it feel mad repetitive after an hour, also yes. But hey the shit sounds like baseline junkie so I cannae be hating too much

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 19 2026

Eh this was just ok. Just like again. A lot

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 21 2026

Was it simple? Yes, did it sound good also yes. I shot the sheriff still slaps. Idk I just didn’t feel as connected to the other songs as mych

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 22 2026

This almost felt too quaint, I just couldn’t get into it.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jun 23 2026

Again this felt quaint. Cool but quaint

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jun 24 2026

Guys the last 3 albums feel so sonically similar. Can we get a switch up

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jun 25 2026

I was gonna say this sounds like some 60s shit and it is. Can we stop with the soft rock now plz

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jun 28 2026

I actually really enjoyed this one, didn’t sound as stale as some of the other art pop we’ve heard until now, very ironic for an album that’s called selling out. I just wish they cut out the last 3 songs. They added very little

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 29 2026

Yk at first I thought this was clunky and didn’t sonically work, especially in the earlier songs (yes that includes Bucky dun gun) but as the album went on it almost settled into a flow that is like entrancing like is it closer to a 4 than a 6 yeah but solid intro

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jun 30 2026

This was wonderful. Back in black still to this day reminds me of iron man, which i fuck with heavy.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jul 01 2026

Like it was fun but like every once in a while I’d try to listen to what he was saying and I just went, bro what are you on about. And then Aladdin sane started playing and I grooved out for a bit.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jul 02 2026

Sleepy fr. Like sounded good but just… Yk made me wanna curl up and go back to bed. Maybe this is just the WC effect.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 03 2026

WHAT IS THERE BOT TO LOVE THIS A TOP 10 ALBUM OAT

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jul 04 2026

It just feels samey. The sitar intro at the start rips but then it just slows down into that same art rock slump. Please I beg for a new artist/ new genre

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jul 06 2026

So I listened to this on YouTube (which I found cuz I looked at the reviews here and they all said the one on Spotify was wrong) and realised that I’d already listened to this album before. At my grandmother house, at some point. That’s what this album is, it’s Dadima’s fr. Almost cried listening to it, not for any other reason except that I never really actually soaked in what I’ve been hearing all these years. It’s beautiful, a reminder of home, between the sitar and flute with the harmonium in the background, I can taste chai and parle g, with some stupid Pakistani serial playing in the background. Shits heat.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jul 07 2026

Dude this was groovy as fuck I really enjoyed that. Who doesn’t enjoy a good lil bass riff fr.

Jul 08 2026

The ideas were there it just didn’t all come together for me. The middle half of the album was the same song for 20 minutes and it tried the whole spooky scary skeletons vibe before moving to better versions of that same vibe

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jul 09 2026

Big fan of this very groovy actually

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 11 2026

It was groovy, as we’ve established i love a good guitar riff, this should be everything i like but at a certain point you kind have to balance the mastery and the music yk, and at times that was lacking

Forever Changes by Love
Jul 13 2026

On Spotify the last song came up with no lyrics so I was like “what is this some rap songs” and then lyrics appeared and I dropped my phone

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jul 14 2026

A solo Paul Cortney ???! In this economy?

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jul 15 2026

This is a perfectly ok album, nothing really special, especially in context of the art rock heard so far. It tries to be political at times but it kinda feels drowned out by the backing

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 18 2026

Listen I would give this a five if not for the audio sex scene right before arguable the best song.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 20 2026

Sega feel like a sonic the hedgehog deal

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jul 21 2026

This was a tight 35 minutes, very nice. The ideas in here feel explored but not played out. It really just feels like a 30 minute long nirvana song. Neat!

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jul 22 2026

I think I just dislike country sounds cuz like it sounded nice but country twangs piss me off

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jul 23 2026

Yk if you put some 808s and like a madlib beat behind this shed out rap like 3/4ths of mainstream rap. Skrait fuckin bars off the headtop

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jul 24 2026

This album actually pissed me off, it actually started so well the opening track was so cool. And then. Nothin to else had that punch

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jul 28 2026

I’m going to start giving these shits twos if I hear another 70-80s rock band or 80-90s art rock I swear down. This one wasnt terrible im just getting sick of the one loop instrumental. Like damn put a bridge in there or something fuck

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jul 29 2026

There was something entrancing about this

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 30 2026

It sounded cool but then like dragged on for a bit

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 31 2026

This was groovy actually. Bit of everything. Kinda enjoyable

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 01 2026

Yeah this undoubtedly was really good. It’s depressing sounding and slow at times but the highs more than makes up for the lows. This is closer to a 4 than a 6 but i understand why people say this is a top like 10 albums of all time. Too much radio, not enough head

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Aug 02 2026

Breaking my album too long for this one, shit slaps, absolutely nothing wrong with it

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Aug 03 2026

Oh yeah I fucks with this heavy

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 04 2026

Idk I feel like the mtv, which was more stripped back and haunting better represented what nirvana goes for than the more bombastic loud sounds they put out here

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 05 2026

I heard some bad bunny features in there

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 06 2026

All Bob Marley will be a 5 automatically. But “she was confused with confusion” might not be the best lyrics ever

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Aug 07 2026

This sounds like MF DOOM but like if he went mainstream and sung worse.

So by Peter Gabriel
Aug 08 2026

Ok some of these absolutely belt. And others are so slow. Like that opener. What’s going on there

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Aug 10 2026

Listen is it perfect no but it made me feel really happy for some reason. Like was smiling and shit

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Aug 11 2026

This sounds like it Coldplay tried to make a cool sounding ghibli sound track. This would be a two if not for pt2 and all we have is now

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 13 2026

Everything here sounds like the anti piracy ad. And honestly it’s a fucking vibe… for 4 songs and then I feel like it needs a break up. This is one of those where all the songs on its own sound good, but together sounds samey.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Aug 14 2026

Yeah what else

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Aug 15 2026

It’s not demon days but hey who hates Clint eastwood

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Aug 16 2026

Honestly the first half is much stronger than the second. If it was just the first disk this would be a 4 maybe 5 but now it’s a 3 maybe 4

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Aug 17 2026

I inexplicably just do not like this. I can’t point out why but something about this ain’t right

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Aug 18 2026

No. I don’t know why I hated it this much but I did

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Aug 19 2026

I really understand how every 40 year old uncle likes this shit it’s good
