Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

I can see people who aren't really that much into guitar playing thinking this is too much. But fuck them. They're wrong. Still unmatched. The songs are psychedelic, rocky, bluesy. Very varied. And it's still lightyears ahead.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jul 17 2026

Aside from the title track "Walk all over you" is the only really memorable track. That one is my favourite on there. Singer is annoying at times and too many tracks sound similar, but it is overall pretty good. Better than i had expected.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Jul 18 2026

Solid album with some good tunes. Manages to be different enough even though they're within the same themes. Still a bit samey though.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jul 20 2026

Great rock record. Fresh sounds and good tunes all around. Although i would struggle to remember any other than the hit

Garbage by Garbage
Jul 21 2026

Like the sound and songs quite a bit. Very solid and powerful throughout. The lyrics are a bit "on the nose" and it can't escape that corny 90's sound.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 22 2026

"Fucking MJ. That creep can sing, man" "Yeah, but he's a pervert, Dude"

The Man Who by Travis
Jul 23 2026

Why does it always brain me... Very soft poprock. It is a pretty easy listen, but most of the songs aren't that memorable. The production is a bit hit and miss. Some of the songs aren't mixed that well. Others have some nice amd unexpected sounds going on. Perfectly average album.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jul 24 2026

Hard album to rate. Started out so good, but even if the point is to have a lot of genres and mixing them, it gets too unfocused and scattershot. Didn't need the rap song and the more techno themed stuff. At least not so much of it. Generally speaking, the A-side is great. The B-side not so much. Paul Weller is a good guitarist, though.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 25 2026

Just the perfect short song pop/rock album. So many solid tracks even if some them sound a bit samey. That was impossible to avoid at the time and it still sounds great. I do prefer the later less straightforward stuff they did, but no denying their talent.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jul 26 2026

Think it has some awesome riffs, sounds and production. They're very clever when using voices and industrial sounds. It is however put down by its silliness. That may be a weird thing to say when it is such an integral part of the album, but i often wonder about the marriage between heavy metal and goofy lyrics and concepts. To me it doesn't always blend well. Same with Panthera at times.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jul 27 2026

Such a great record. Really the perfect 80's sounds going on here. "Shout" is a strong opener. It balances the more heavy pop/rock songs with the more slow and lengthy pieces so well. The guitar is great on the later tracks.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jul 28 2026

So many great and varied songs and riffs. So effortless by these legends. They can be groovy, lovey, mystical and heavy all on the sane record. You can debate how well it blends m, but there's no denying when it comes to pure talent, they stand at the top.

Vespertine by Björk
Jul 29 2026

Thought it was very solid throughout. Maybe her talking-singing isn't my cup of tea, but when she wants to sing she can. I hear Radiohead and Arvo Pärt in here, which is definitely not a bad thing. The lyrics are vulnerable and insightful. I think it is a very solid effort and i respect the craftsmanship, but i doubt i will ever become a big fan of Björk. Still, closer to 4 than 3, so 4 it is.

Green by R.E.M.
Jul 30 2026

The highs are very high and lows are very low. Problem is barely a quarter of the songs are good. Then the rest are very mid to straight up bad in my opinion. At worst they sound like a boyband. Far cry from "Orange Crush" and "I Remember California" that are the standouts.

Third by Soft Machine
Jul 31 2026

I think it's varied enough to be fairly listenable.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Aug 01 2026

Some very good songs on this one. "Pyramid" is a classic. "You and who's army" and "Life in a glasshouse" are solid as well. Definitely an album that gets betger the more you listen and thr songs are stronger when listened as an album.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Aug 02 2026

"Too Late For Love" is an alltime banger. Been rocking that solo for a month now. The rest is a bit generic hit and miss, as a lot of classic rock is. I like "Coming under fire" as well. Other songs like "Photograph" which is a classic I'm not so fond of.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Aug 03 2026

Feel like the song and the tones are very distinctive and enjoyable. But if i can't remember really any standout songs or a cohesive story, then i don't think it's great. But i remember liking listening to it.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Aug 04 2026

Honestly disappointed. I remember it being betyer than this. It runs too long and the stuff worth listening to is far and few between. Still you get some original stuff and the later albums were better.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Aug 05 2026

Honestly pretty darn good. Very refreshing listen. The whole vibe is great and there's quite a few good songs on here.

Sep 08 2026

Oddly disappointing. I finally get what old say about rap. It's all about bragging about chicks, money and how gansta you are. That's this album. But knowing the history of the genre and what they were doing then, this album is pretty forgettable. I mean they have some cool voices and i see the appeal and importance of groups and their music pushing the genre and culture forward, but the beats are mid, the lyrics are repetitive and there are albums around this time that tower this.
