Fragile by Yes
Mar 06 2026

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.

One World by John Martyn
Mar 19 2026

I absolutely loved "Dealer". The rest is fine, but not all of it is really my taste. Great production all around though. It gets a high 3

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Mar 20 2026

It can be a bit too repetitive for me at times, but the production is crazy good, and there are some absolute bangers. Also "Lean Woman Blues" is super underrated! It gets a mid 4

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 23 2026

It has some of the group's best songs, but it also has some real misses that don't need to be there. Still, so many peak songs, so it gets a mid 4

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Mar 24 2026

I mean, he's got a good voice, but that's all that this has going for it. It's a high 2

B-52's by The B-52's
Mar 25 2026

This album is pretty good, but it is a little top-heavy. It's a mid 4

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 26 2026

*insert joke about his nickname being accurate* It's a high 2, I only liked 3 songs and the rest wasn't good

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 27 2026

Yay, a 60s psych rock album that I can enjoy without drugs! Mid 4

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Mar 30 2026

What a niche band, I hope they get big some day... This is a very high 4

Doolittle by Pixies
Apr 01 2026

I find it insane that both Pixies and Sonic Youth have female bass players named Kim. I'll give this a mid 4

Revolver by Beatles
Apr 03 2026

I think the only song I really don't care about here is "Yellow Submarine". Other than that, phenomenal album! Very high 4

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 10 2026
Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 13 2026

I have nothing funny or insightful to say about this album, so I'll just say that this is a good album. I'll give it a mid 4

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 17 2026

Well given the fact that Bowie couldn't remember recording this album, this was in fact the side effects of the cocaine. This is a mid 4

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 24 2026
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 27 2026
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 04 2026
Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 22 2026

You know, I ultimately believe drugs are bad for you, but I can't deny that without them, Jimi Hendrix wouldn't have played as crazy as he did without them. This is a high 4

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 05 2026
The Doors by The Doors
Jun 11 2026

KNOCK KNOCK WHO'S THERE??? THE DOOR!!!!!! This is a mid 4

Dummy by Portishead
Jul 13 2026
Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 14 2026

Okay, I like that Like Clockwork is in the book, but why this? Like if you're going to pick 2 QOTSA albums, wouldn't it make more sense to have Songs for the Deaf? Even Rated R would make more sense. This album is still pretty good though, I'll give it a very high 3

Jul 15 2026

The Fall is definitely a band that I want to get more into, but I've never really loved this album. I hope I like some of their other stuff more. I'll give this a high 3

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 23 2026
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.

xx by The xx
Aug 14 2026

It's good. but definitely not my favorite. It's got a nice atmosphere, but I think other albums do it better. I'd say it's a mid 4, because I still like a handful of songs.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Aug 17 2026

There is some great vocals and guitar work on this album, but there are some moments (especially in the second half) that kind of just fade into the background. Still, not a bad album. It's a mid 4

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Aug 18 2026

Genuinely the most underrated Talking Heads album. It's a high 4

Slayed? by Slade
Aug 19 2026

This would have been a good glam rock album if the vocals weren't so annoying. Like bro is not Robert Plant. It's a high 3, because at least the instrumentals sound good.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Aug 20 2026

he opening track is easily the best one here. The production is great overall and there are some great beats, but any song with MC Det is ruined by some annoying vocal manipulation. It's a mid 4

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 21 2026

None of this sound bad, but it's definitely not going to stick with me. Kind of a in one ear and out the other album. The opening track was pretty good though. It get's a mid 3

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Aug 24 2026

This was good, but I think MBDTF impressed me more and has some higher highs. I think my favorite song on here is "Two Words". This is mid to high 4

Quiet Life by Japan
Aug 26 2026

The first 2 tracks and "Halloween" are absolute bangers, but why on Earth did they decide to cover The Velvet Underground like that? I'm gonna give this a high 3

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 27 2026

Of course this is the album the 1001 album generator gave me. And honestly, this is pretty underrated. It's not as good as Jolene, but it's still a pretty good country album. Again, rest in peace Dolly Parton. I'll give this a high 3

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 31 2026

Fun fact:"Mrs. Robinson" was my parents' wedding song. This is a low 4

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Sep 01 2026

She may not be paranoid, but she is definitely an android. Very high 4

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Sep 02 2026

Guys, I think her name is Latifah. I can't be sure though. I'll give this a high 3

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Sep 03 2026

SCRAM!!! IT'S THE PO-PO!!! This is a low 4
