Pure sugar and I was happy to listen to it. Can't believe there hasn't been a new album since 2010.

A City Dressed In Dynamite

That Handsome Devil · 1 likes

4/5

I don't think this would be a frequent listen for me. But it kept my attention. I preferred the bits that leaned more on rockabilly then hip hop.

Nearer My God

Foxing

5/5

A solid indie rock record. Reminded me of TV on the Radio for some reason.

Romance

Fontaines D.C.

3/5

This band has been hit or miss for me. This is a fine record. Just not sure about all the hype around this band.

Thank Christ for the Bomb

The Groundhogs

4/5

60s/70s blues rock. Had some interesting moments. Between a 3 and a 4 for me.

People Watching

Sam Fender

2/5

Of the modern bands that sound a bit like Springsteen or Tom Petty, this is my least favorite so far. Boring, was happy when it was over.

I Need to Start a Garden

Haley Heynderickx

4/5

Good listen. I missed this album when it came out. I thought Worth It was a stand out.

Grace And Danger

John Martyn

2/5

Just didn't work for me. Too slow and wasn't a fan of his voice.

Pulse

Pink Floyd

2/5

Something for hardcore fans. I don't think these were the best versions of these songs.

RENAISSANCE

Beyoncé

2/5

Just wasn't for me. Thought some of the beats were interesting.

Blue Is The Colour

The Beautiful South

1/5

The first song was kind of cute and funny. The rest of the album was rough. The male singer was just bad. The songs were boring.

Deltron 3030

2/5

Hip Hop sci fi nerds... unexpected. If you liked one song, you probably liked all of them because there isn't a lot of variation.

Boxer

The National

5/5

This is a good album. I'd listened to it several times when it came out. May have enjoyed it even more on this listen.

Geogaddi

Boards of Canada

3/5

It was just on. Wasn't bad in the background.

Magnolia Electric Co.

Songs: Ohia

4/5

Outside of Black Hen, this was a really good listen. Solid folk/country album.

Slip

Quicksand

3/5

Seemed like a straight down the middle hard rock record. Wasn't impressed by the Smith's cover.

California

Mr. Bungle

2/5

I didn't get it.

Daisies Of The Galaxy

Eels

4/5

Really liked this. Sort of reminded me of Elliot Smith.

A Day At The Races

Queen

3/5

all you need is the greatest hits. Individual Queen albums are not worth your time.

John Dawson Winter III

Johnny Winter

2/5

70s blues rock. felt generic. "Love Song to Me" was a low point.

Nia

Blackalicious

4/5

Long, but it kept my attention. Not usually a fan of hip hop but I dug this album.

Emotional Mugger

Ty Segall

4/5

Fun noisy garage rock.

Exile On Coldharbour Lane

Alabama 3

2/5

I mean I like the sopranos song. The country/edm mixed was too country for me.

Fine Line

Harry Styles

4/5

Better then i was expecting. Very Pop. He has a good voice for it.

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip

4/5

Solid rock album from our friends in the north.

La cagaste... Burt Lancaster

A mix of two genres I don't enjoy.

1/5

Bland music with a bad singer.

Y Ahora Qué?

Reincidentes

3/5

Some interesting bits. not sure if I'd re-listen

Apostrophe(')

Frank Zappa

2/5

I don't think I get Zappa. I guess someone finds a concept album about yellow snow funny.

Goat

The Jesus Lizard

3/5

Noisy and Loud. On a different day this might have been a 4. Really disliked seasick though.

Uncovered

Zamilska

3/5

It wasn't bad to have on but I didn't really notice it.

The Fame

Lady Gaga

3/5

The singles hold up. I'd say they're just as catchy now as when this record came out. The album cuts definitely show their age and brought down the listening experience for me.

Fashion Nugget

CAKE

4/5

I have a soft spot for Cake. This record has the right mix of nostalgia and singles for me. I remember they used to play a bunch of these songs over the end credits for Daria.

Que c'est triste Venise

Charles Aznavour

1/5

crooner music but in french

Hall of the Mountain King

Savatage

2/5

I liked the hard rock/metal cover of Prelude to Madness. The rest of the album was for more hardcore fans of the genre.

WORRY

Jeff Rosenstock

An artist I've listened to before and will again. A refreshing hour of pop-punk.

Ants From Up There

Black Country, New Road

Didn't do much for me.

Sounded like they were cosplaying an 80s metal band.

1/5

Boring and at times annoying.

Feed The Animals

Girl Talk

4/5

Pure sugar and I was happy to listen to it. Can't believe there hasn't been a new album since 2010.

Quadrophenia

The Who

3/5

Better then Tommy. Just wasn't my favorite Who.

Emotion

Carly Rae Jepsen

3/5

Glossy Pop. I enjoyed the singles.

A City Dressed In Dynamite

That Handsome Devil

4/5

I don't think this would be a frequent listen for me. But it kept my attention. I preferred the bits that leaned more on rockabilly then hip hop.

My Love Is Cool

Wolf Alice

4/5

Good listen. wasn't a fan of the other singer on Swallowtail

Chuck

Sum 41

1/5

I guess i was expecting the pop punk fun of Fat Lip and I got a more metal inspired record.... Didn't like it at all.

Give Up

The Postal Service

5/5

This album was huge for me when it came out. Listened to it on repeat for most of a summer. Still great. Enjoyed the excuse to re-listen to it.

Autobiografia

Duncan Dhu

3/5

It was fine. Mostly background noise.

Sublime

3/5

A lot of nostalgia for those singles. The rest of the album is a little long. Maybe a 3.5

The Feeding of the 5000

Crass

3/5

Wasn't bad, but it's not the 70s punk record I would reach for.

L'autre...

Mylène Farmer

3/5

It was fine. without understanding the lyrics it just became background.

Brand New Eyes

Paramore

4/5

Enjoyable pop punk

At no point did I find this enjoyable.

4/5

Maybe not ground breaking but definitely enjoyable.

Young, Loud And Snotty

Dead Boys

3/5

A fine punk album that never got great.

Contra

Vampire Weekend

4/5

I know it's preppy college kids doing world beat, but I really like their first 2 albums. Just a happy fun record for me.

10 Days Out: Blues from the Backroads

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

1/5

Seemed like I needed to know the artist and all of the guests to enjoy this record. I'm sure it's someone's fantasy Avengers Team up, but it didn't do much for me.

Mingus Ah Um

Charles Mingus

1/5

Another jazz record.

A Black Mile To The Surface

Manchester Orchestra

4/5

reminded me of Frightened Rabbit in a good way.

Grand Prix

Teenage Fanclub

4/5

Doing Big Star almost as good as Big Star.

Squeezing Out Sparks

Graham Parker

3/5

It was fine. Had a real 80s feel to it.

I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One

Yo La Tengo

5/5

A favorite of mine. Probably their best album. Really thought this was on the main list. Had to check my history.

Piledriver

Status Quo

3/5

An ok 70s rock album.

Fully Completely

The Tragically Hip

4/5

A solid 90s rock record.

Ænima

TOOL

3/5

Hard rate for me. Better then I was expecting. Talented musicians and some interesting songs. But i don't see listening to this again.

Piñata

Freddie Gibbs

1/5

Wasn't great and then every song ends in a skit.

Barton Hollow

The Civil Wars

3/5

Was an ok folk/country record

METAL FORTH

BABYMETAL

1/5

Felt like a gimmick.

Alive 2007

Daft Punk

5/5

Live albums are for fans. This takes all their best songs from the first 3 albums and mashes them together. Everything comes out Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger.

Crack the Skye

Mastodon

1/5

Just wasn't for me.

Reconstruction Site

The Weakerthans

4/5

A good indie rock record. i'd listen to it again.

2/5

Didn't like the singer's voice. I guess the music was ok.

Super Ape

The Upsetters

3/5

Wasn't bad, but it just became background to me.

Kick

INXS

3/5

Big 80s sound. Liked a few of the singles.

Stormcock

Roy Harper

3/5

I liked this the more I listened to it.

Gemstones

Adam Green

1/5

Is this a bit? is there something i'm missing?

Misplaced Childhood

Very 80s. Very Prog. Didn't connect for me.

The Empyrean

John Frusciante

2/5

felt like a self indulgent side project.

30 Something

Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine

4/5

Bad band name, bad album name. Good listen though.

Cleopatra

The Lumineers

2/5

Wasn't a fan when this came out. The songs all sounded the same. Not the best of the indie folk scene

In Between Dreams

Jack Johnson

3/5

It did what it was designed to do. Really mellow music that fades into the background.

Latin Mass

Os Mundi

2/5

A big sprawling blend of psychedelic and progressive rock. Tired me out by the end. Will not re-listen.

Come On Over

Shania Twain

2/5

It's shallow glossy pop that was everywhere for awhile. Some nostalgia for the singles though.

Sunbather

Deafheaven

2/5

Didn't like the vocals. The music was alright.

Afrociberdelia

Chico Science

1/5

Didn't do anything from me.

Oil of Every Pearl's Un-Insides

SOPHIE

3/5

More experimental then the songs she produced for other artists. More interesting then enjoyable for me.

Live At Madison Square Garden

Vulfpeck

1/5

Had real frat boy vibes. Seems like I'm missing something. Didn't think this band would be big enough for MSG but the crowd seems to be loving it.

After Hours

The Weeknd

1/5

Not much of an RnB fan. Whatever vocal effect their using really grated on me.

Puzzle

Biffy Clyro

4/5

Solid rock album. reminded me a little of Queens of the Stone Age.

My Morning Jacket

3/5

Not bad, not sure i'd listen again.

Get To Heaven

Everything Everything

4/5

between a 3 and a four. We'll see how i'm feeling tomorrow.

Souvlaki

Slowdive

4/5

a solid shoegaze album. Souvlaki Space Station was a stand out for me.

Once Upon a Rhyme

David Allan Coe

2/5

twangy country that didn't work for me

For Emma, Forever Ago

Bon Iver

4/5

Some quality rainy morning folk music. Might have to listen to this again.

Untrue

Burial

1/5

I was so bored by this.

Songs Of A Lost World

The Cure

4/5

I listened to this when it came out. I think I liked it better on the second listen. Not my favorite cure album.

The Italian Flag

Prolapse

4/5

This was a pretty good punk album.

LUX

ROSALÍA

2/5

Didn't really do anything for me. Too long as well.

Rêver mieux

Daniel Bélanger

1/5

Bland pop music, also in French.

Moa Anbessa

Getatchew Mekurya

2/5

Weird record. Occasionally it would get good but then go back to being jazz.

Zaireeka

The Flaming Lips

3/5

I listened to a pre-mixed version. I never had the setup to listen to 4 CDs at once. This is a experimental and weird album. Not bad, but not my favorite Flaming Lips.

Discipline

King Crimson

2/5

Something about this really reminded me of the Talking Heads. It's not a great Talking Heads album. Not sure i know enough about King Crimson to compare it to their albums.

Wincing The Night Away

The Shins

4/5

Enjoyable. Thought Phantom Limb was the standout track.
