Fragile by Yes

To Be Continued...

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 09 2026

Let's just say that in "Sledgehammer", he's not actually talking about a sledgehammer...

Mar 10 2026

Ah, I see! So this is what influenced the jazz freak out at the end of Radiohead's "The National Anthem"! "Track B" was definitely my favorite here, but when it comes to the closing track, there are parts I liked (especially in the last 5 or 6 minutes), but I didn't love every second of it. Still a very solid jazz album!

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 11 2026

I love the message, but I don't love every single song, so this is a low 4, with the stellar production saving a lot of it.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Mar 12 2026

I thought it was boring the first time I listened to it, and I still do. "The Fairest of the Seasons", "These Days", and "I'll Keep It with Mine" are pretty good though.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 16 2026

This is by no means perfect, but I love the atmosphere on this album

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 17 2026

Well of all things I could've expected this album to be, this wasn't it. Also Pinky from Animaniacs on the mic in "Fodderstompf"

Woodface by Crowded House
Mar 18 2026

At it's best, it's decent, but at it's worst it's just boring. This album is just so painfully 90s.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Aug 07 2026

I'm starting the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" challenge, and this is definitely not the best start. I have obviously heard worse albums, but this one's still not great. The mixing and production is pretty bad, like I've heard older albums with better production. Alice Cooper also decides to add weird adlibs to several songs which practically ruin those songs for me. There were only really 2 songs that I would actually return to, those being "Hello Hooray" and the best song on the album "No More Mr. Nice Guy".

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Aug 08 2026

If this were just the first disk, it would be a 10/10 album. However, that doesn't mean the rest isn't good, because there are great tracks and moments on both Disk 2 and the Apple Jams. Outstanding album, probably the best double album I have listened to so far!

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Aug 10 2026

Not quite as good as All 'N All, but it's still got some very funky bangers.

Hotel California by Eagles
Aug 11 2026

I like the first 3 tracks. The rest are boring though.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Aug 12 2026

I'm glad we got a garage rock revival in the 2000s, because if this album is a representation of the genre in the 60s, the 2000s bands did waaayyy better. There is literally nothing special about this.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 13 2026

This is good and all, but I just don't think that reggae is really my thing. It's a bit too repetitive and not enough sonic diversity. Well, at least with this album. This is the only reggae album I have listened to, so maybe other albums are more interesting. It's still a low to mid 4.
