never heard of them before. this slaps. cheery, optimistic. album ended just as I was getting slightly tired of it, so good length as well. will definitely listen to this again

i can see why this is good music but it gets on my nerves very quickly. not for me

Bob Dylan

2/5

not for me.

Hms Fable

Shack

3/5

i can listen to this, but i fail to understand what is remarkable about it

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

1/5

could not listen to this for the life of me. gets on my nerves very fast somehow

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

easy listening, reasonably nice music, but also very forgettable. eh

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

i only knew a few songs from the album, but the entire thing is great. smooth flow, great beats, fun lyrics. impossible to stay in a bad mood while listening to this. wanted to listen to it again immediately once it was over

Third

Portishead

3/5

i love portishead but i don't listen to this album so often. listening to it again, i remember why: i find it much harder to get lost in the music with the omnipresent voice. it's fascinating in a way, but i don't actually enjoy it all that much. hard to rate really

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

it's alright.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

i cannot listen to this while doing something else, which reduces how much I can enjoy it, but this is a pretty incredible album. not my favorite from him though

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

1/5

wow. i hate this. i'm actually kind of surprised by how much i hate this

Marquee Moon

Television

2/5

meh. I don't really see the point

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

very different from what i usually like, but this was surprisingly pleasant to listen to. either there's something special about this (the voice maybe?) or maybe i should just listen to more folk

Document

R.E.M.

5/5

nice! i didn't know about this at all. listened to it twice in a day. great music, will definitely listen to it again

Real Life

Magazine

2/5

constantly swinging between "oh this is kind of interesting" and "urgh this is getting on my nerves" while listening to this. overall not a great experience

Tracy Chapman

3/5

beautiful voice, touching lyrics, but i struggled with the music. i can understand why this is a special album, and i'm kind of sad that it's not really my cup of tea

Guero

Beck

5/5

never heard of this, what a great discovery! i don't understand half of the lyrics but i'm vibing. listened to this twice today already, might give it a third listen. some songs are pure bangers and others are strange in a compelling sort of way. kind of reminds me of gorillaz? really loved this album, will definitely listen to this again and try the rest of his discography

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

1/5

absolutely not for me. had to stop after 2.5 songs

Clandestino

Manu Chao

4/5

only knew a couple of songs from this, liked them but never though of listening to the rest of the album. but the whole thing is lovely! i quite enjoyed the pace and the variety.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

2/5

i don't get why radiohead is such a big thing. i guess i can listen to this, but i don't see what's special about it

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

not for me

Fleet Foxes

3/5

very interesting album, i don't typically listen to music like this. i didn't love it but probably would enjoy it live

Throwing Muses

3/5

very strange & unusual. pretty good? probably very fun live, or when paying attention to the lyrics. wouldn't listen to it casually though

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

rarely in the mood to listen to this, but it slaps

En-Tact

The Shamen

3/5

super fun to listen to at first; reminded me of the stuff i used to download on napster and blast in my room as a teenager. gets old & repetitive pretty quickly though. good to put a song or two in a nostalgia playlist (even though i don't think i actually knew any of the specific songs), but i'm probably not going to listen to the entire thing again

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

this is nice. i don't think i'm often in the mood for something like this, but this is still lovely music. would listen to it again

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

exactly the kind of album i would likely never have discovered without this website. smooth, groovy. i'm still vibing after two consecutive listens. will definitely listen to this again

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

ok i guess

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

2/5

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

5/5

this is the album that convinced me to send a few coins to this website's maintainer. i vaguely heard about leonard cohen before but did not expect to like his music as much as i did. incredible voice, groovy tunes, wonderful lyrics. fuck yes give me more of this

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

this style of rock is probably never going to be my absolute favorite thing, but as far as it goes, i like it a lot more than other albums in a similar genre. will probably listen to it again at some point

Being There

Wilco

2/5

very much not for me

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

2/5

second album by this band in a few weeks. i was pleasantly surprised by the first (unhalfbricking), which i liked even though folk isn't usually my thing. i liked this one much less somehow. not sure why?
