Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 15 2026

3.2/5 - vocals and some other harsh sounds threw me off Reference: 1 = Dislike, nty 2 = Not my taste, objectively pretty good though 3 = Fine, tolerable BG music but not preferred 4 = Pleasant BG music, but not necessarily top preference 5 = Liked this, might listen again in future

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 16 2026

4.2/5 - objectively great vocals, nice BG music to listen to. generally good vibes. however, would probably listen to the ambient tracks separate from the rest of the album

Jul 17 2026

3.2/5 - Generally pretty good. Would not listen to in my own time, but definitely suitable party music for an evening BBQ in the summer.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 18 2026

4.3/5 - Pleasant music. Strings give off a beautiful vibe. Fav Track - Sonnet Reference: 1 = Dislike, nty 2 = Not my taste, objectively pretty good though 3 = Fine, tolerable BG music but not preferred 4 = Pleasant BG music, but not necessarily top preference 5 = Liked this, might listen again in future

Low-Life by New Order
Jul 19 2026

3.2/5 - Not for me. I think the music is still objectively quite cool, but third track in and it all sounds the same to me. Fav Track: no preference, maybe Elegia but only by a hair

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jul 20 2026

3.7/5 - Was enjoying it at the beginning, but got a bit old quite quickly. Nice to mix some of these songs in with other music, but a whole album worth of this is a bit too much for me personally.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jul 21 2026

2.9 - not for me, but I can see how people would enjoy this. still classifies in my subjective opinion as objectively cool music

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 23 2026

4.0/5 - catchy, cool. Fav Track: No particular preference for songs, but prefer the first main section of album up to the last 4 songs. (First part is a 4.2/5, from last 4 probably more like a 3.5/5)

Jul 24 2026

4.4/5 - Pretty damn good. Nice to have playing in the background anywhere, although, not something I would listen to in my own time.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jul 25 2026

4.4/5 - No comments, just nice music :) Fav Track: no preference. Reference: 1 = Dislike, nty 2 = Not my taste, objectively pretty good though 3 = Fine, tolerable BG music but not preferred 4 = Pleasant BG music, but not necessarily top preference 5 = Liked this, might listen again in future

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jul 26 2026

4.1/5 - calm and peaceful. no further comments. cozy, although nothing too "out there"

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jul 27 2026

3.5/5 - fine, although personally speaking it isn't strongly evocative.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jul 28 2026

3.3/5 - sometimes intentionally quite discordant, and to me not in an evocatively interesting way. enough to put me off a little to be honest. may give it another try in the future: still a good album :)

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jul 29 2026

3.6/5 - no further comments

Jul 30 2026

3.8/5 - quite cool, but I'm not listening to an 18 minute remix, so I'll cut it early :)

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jul 31 2026

3.0/5 - gets old pretty fast.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Aug 01 2026

3.3/5 - Was OK at best, may not have been the day for it. Might come back another time to give it another go.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Aug 02 2026

1.4/5 - Lyrics: yikes. Vibes: not there for me. The sounds of Rock and Roll & Country: ever droning on, whether I like it or not. Such is the magic of this album, there was a point at which I became so immersed, that my brain thought I was forty years older than I actually was. Magical.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Aug 03 2026

3.9/5 - Pretty cool album! Left me hungry for a film to accompany it with, which I'm sure would elevate it even further.

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 04 2026

2.4/5 - At first impression, this album seemed to push the boundaries of my ears. And yet, I decided it might be worth giving my eardrums a thrashing in order to appreciate this album in all its glory. This was quite an experience, but nonetheless was a decision I wholeheartedly regret. On a more serious note, this is indeed quite a cool album, but not for me.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Aug 05 2026

1.2/5 - Pleasant to listen to? No. A genuinely interesting abstract album with a variety of uniquely interesting musical experimentation? Also no.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 10 2026

4.4/5 - Pleasant. Nothing more to be said.
