Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

All Ratings

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

Doesn’t move me but nice background music for coffee shop or park family gathering type. Feel good ambiance

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Two 20 min ambient (really this time not like yesterday, no words) songs. Good for cleaning house on warm sunny day. Slow ambient jazz like this makes me feel 20th century Parisian

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

2/5

Drunk festival music. Loud, chaotic, just not for me. Makes my ears yearn for silence

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

Not bad, a couple of songs could grow on me. I’m sure it’s perfect moping music for some ppl, but it probably would never be my top pick. (I think I liked Warning Sign and Amsterdam—didn’t relisten prob a couple others I didn’t mind)

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Favorite by far so far. The melodies (?) / just the sounds are so good, they move me the way modern pop music does. I think this album could become a classic for me. Listened more than once

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

Don’t love loud but aimless indie rock. Mostly sounds like noise to me. I liked dig for fire, rest was boring and I’d forgotten all but a vague impression by the end of the day. Had no word tracks like Pet Sounds which was interesting

Rubber Soul

Beatles

2/5

Boring. Doesn’t move me at all. Don't like the Beatles

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

1/5

Halfway through and I can’t imagine listening to this in any situation. Alt rock y with some alien y sounds thrown in. Tracks blend together like Melanie album.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

Folk-y alt rock, don’t like. Flute sounds fun. Had to keep adjusting volume bc some tracks softer?

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Fine. Very Americana laid back (miller told me they’re British). Could grow on me. Dead flowers good and good songwriting I think only listened once.

Infected

The The

4/5

Fun, I like weird 80s electric music. I really liked Angels of Deception (and out of the blue some too)

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Disc 2 might be really selling me. I like the wistful even tempered songs like 1979. I hate when they go loud screamo. Need to re listen but 2 hours of songs god

The Next Day

David Bowie

3/5

Absurd and comical. Repetitive in a hypnotic way. Songs are one dimensional, lyrics are dumb, but that adds to appeal. Could be a great camp album. Maybe it’s hitting bc Im fried from Atlanta consulate trip

Elvis Presley

4/5

Fun. He has such a singular (as far as I know voice). Excited to listen to more. It was nice going through a whole album, I’d heard a couple songs on it before. On subsequent listens over the weekend I love Trying to get to You so much

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

3/5

I enjoyed. Would listen to a few songs outside this. Pretty good. Almost 4?

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

2/5

Not offensive, but no standout songs. Kinda Elvis y, maybe just the style of music of the time

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Knew the two hits but I like them already, rest unremarkable, might be higher rated if I hadn’t heard hits. M’s dont go away mad is a lyric from this.

Forever Changes

Love

3/5

Silly, odd, a bit Alice in wonderland, but not very enjoyable. First song good

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Fine. Nothing spoke to me, but didn’t hate either

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

2/5

Didn’t like. Just vaguely melodic noise. Lorde covered Take Me To The River

School's Out

Alice Cooper

1/5

Really didn’t enjoy. I hate screaming ape rock

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

4/5

Mannish Boy is so good. The rest is fun

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

1/5

Kinda mitski y but not in the vital ways, more just delicate waifish voice way. Not loving anyway, 2017 very modern and I much prefer other stuff

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Pretty fun, I like man in the mirror. And probably a couple others. I’d relisten but not speaking to me rn

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

3/5

No standout songs but no bad ones. Maybe could grow on me

Will The Circle Be Unbroken

Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

4/5

I liked some of earlier tracks maybe a bunch, could grow a lot. No bad songs, would be nice party/background music. Sent it to Anna who turns out loves their most popular song

Blood, Sweat & Tears

2/5

I’m sure someone likes this kind of music but I don’t

The Notorious Byrd Brothers

The Byrds

1/5

Very Beatles y. Don’t like. So bland and forgettable (crazy that I found a Dorian electra song I love yesterday and saw today it’s a cover of a song by the byrds)

Smash

The Offspring

1/5

I hate rage rock. Self esteem is kinda fun

Dookie

Green Day

2/5

Rage-y emo punk rock or whatever again. Didn’t like. Dookie as title is crazy

The Age Of The Understatement

The Last Shadow Puppets

1/5

Thought voice sounded familiar. It’s the arctic monkeys singer (p sure). Don’t like either bands tho. Would never listen again

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

1/5

jus finished and I don’t remember anything. It’s noise

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

This was fun. I think a bruno song samples le freak (or I’ve heard it before, or both). Most of the songs just repeat one or two lyrics the entire time. Some have no lyrics

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

2/5

One song was just Mannish Boy with diff lyrics. It was fine nothing stood out and I don’t love live albums so far.

Pretenders

2/5

Kinda Joan Jett y maybe. Rock, didn’t love. I think I knew one of the songs bc goodwill plays it

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

1/5

Gof I hated this. Just noise

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

Nice. I like Old Kentucky Home a bunch, sent it to Anna

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

Sounded like off brand Beatles kinda. Unremarkable

With The Beatles

Beatles

3/5

Fine. Nothing standout. Maybe I’m acclimating to the Beatles song a bit, maybe I’m just feeling generous

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

Very Beatles y but I like it better. Forgot to do it in morning (finishing last few songs day after). This is better than the Beatles from yesterday

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Sounds a lot like sir mix a lot. Would have to listen again to see if any I like particularly

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

1/5

Boring. Unmelodic

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

3/5

I liked this. Lorelai I added to library really good, if I liked another song as much it would’ve been 4 stars

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

It’s fine. First song good. One of them is heard before very popular. Lots of ambiance no lyrics (there was an 8 min song)

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Would have to relisten to see if any songs I like. I don’t really like the 90s rap style.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

2/5

Didn’t like sound but liked how weird it was at least

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

2D songwriting, forgettable production

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

40 seconds into the first song I know this experience is going to give me an aneurism
