Rated 8/10
finally we’re getting sillayy
this haunted banjo kazooie music straight up made me feel unnerved and uncomfortable and creeped out during some parts, that’s art! and i think that’s beautiful
3.5 because i don’t know how much ill come back to it but i enjoyed myself thank you VERY much
Rated 6/10
so i’ve really slept on arcade fire so much until now. which is unfortunate because this is so very my shit right here. i think it might be a generational oversight but the only song i knew before from this album is no cars go (what a banger though, holy fuck, i’m a sucker for violins and a good HEY! in my pretentious indie rock)
the rest is good too, i love that they recorded it in a church , i love that big wide open sound & the organnnn on intervention is delightful. and i love theatrical concept albums . definitely easy to see the influence this early arcade fire work had on bc,nr . everyone listen to ants from up there right neowww 3.5 for me!
Rated 4/10
mehhh 2.5 .. there’s moments i like and i love prince and his voice and whole thing obviously but im sorry to say he’s just not as good without wendy and lisa and the revolution . lesbians really make everything better sorry
i really hope controversy is on the list. also i think we’ve been spoiled by all these 40 minute albums so an hour 20 double lp really feels like a slog
Rated 10/10
not to be a band kid but ohhhhh i’ve been waiting for this one
21st century man is a masterpiece, HUGE face melting sound that just kicks your ass for seven minutes. “mirrors”, the instrumental jazz departure in the middle is definitely my favorite part of the record. it’s fine that the rest of the album (up until the last track) doesn’t hit the same because how are you supposed to follow that up? they should have flipped the tracklist around tbh
i talk to the wind is good but it should be like 2 minutes shorter. fuckin love the flute soloing but it didn’t need to be doubled twice
epitaph is a dark haunting journey, i love how they just put 2 more songs inside of one song. the “march for no reason” bit in the middle absolutely blows me away it feels like the sound just cracks wide open with the mellotron strings and clarinets. more woodwinds!
i think moonchild is fun. i really thought the noodling in the middle was stupid and bad at first and i didn’t get it but after reading that they basically just threw it together to meet the runtime they needed for the album endears it to me for some reason. it’s like they finished the song and forgot to stop the tape
the court of the crimson king is another banger. i love some spooky ren fair shit. i love how this album makes me feel like a powerful wizard in exile from a dark evil kingdom. 5 stars thank you
Rated 8/10
yay! plastic soul! this is a very cool record! look how pretty he is. i have definitely slept on young americans because there are just so many good bowie albums, but i really enjoyed this
luther vandross (!!!) vocal arrangements, those background singers my god
this album feels like a gentlemen’s amount of cocaine served on a silver platter
i don’t think the across the universe cover was really needed, but the song works honestly better as a spacey bowie ballad imo
favorites: title track & fame .. what a goddamn way to start and end an album. and fascination
Rated 6/10
i was less familiar with surfer rosa before listening, this is pixies first album and there’s lots of songs about bones (positive)
can definitely hear on this album especially how they influenced nirvana and all those other grunge guys. i love how unpolished it is & how you can hear the space in the recording, it really sounds like demos and i think the low production value really works especially listening 35+ years after release
fewer bangers than doolittle imo, also i gotta say it feels criminal that the breeders are not on the list
favs are bone machine, cactus, gigantic something against you needs horns cmon baby gimme some ska
Rated 8/10
i miss the old kanye
Rated 10/10
my favorite radiohead album… released just 2 days after i was born.. kind of beautiful huh
the best you can is good enough 🙂↕️
forever relevant, perfect music to dissociate to or kind of freak out about the world to or both
Rated 6/10
i liked this fine .. i think yes has better albums probably. i was more familiar with their tracks off of fragile and 90125 before this. my dad loves this stuff and your dad probably does too
big fan of the clap
big fan of the organ moments all over the album
not a big fan of the vocals, i kind of wish it were instrumental
Rated 8/10
this album blew my tiny little mind when i was younger and it still does . i do wish thom yorke wasnt a big baby bitch.. sigh
was listening to weird fishes/arpeggi driving into work this morning and a guy was dancing down the sidewalk like really throwing down and his moves lined up perfectly with the music and it’s things like that that make life worth living you know
3 queens joining forces to maximize their joint slay… thee original boygenius… beautiful that we all got a dolly album todayy
for the most part instrumentally simple, such tight lush harmonies that need very little accompaniment wise
favorites: wildflowers, those memories of you 🙂↕️ you guys i’m starting to think they might not make country music like this anymore
Rated 10/10
LETS FUCKING GOOO

Rated 10/10

love doolittle i want to listen to it one million times. as soon as i hear the debaser intro im like fuck yeah baby yeehaw
i feel like there’s something for everyone on this record, it’s clearly influenced so many artists from the 90s onward …. mitski …??………..

no stairway! denied!
i was kind of annoyed to see another zeppelin album come up so soon after we just had zeppelin ii… getting tired of robert plant’s voice & kinda bummed this is the album we have going into the weekend
that being said this album is undeniably good, some really iconic riffs & overall just good time rock n roll.. of all the zeppelin records this one for sure belongs on the list and under other circumstances i would have enjoyed listening much more. whatever
also going to california is my favorite i wish more of the songs sounded like that
loved listening to the discord recs over the weekend!

banger city
i do think it’s more listenable than remain in light, songwriting is more linear but still has the hypnotic repetitive groove sequences. joe and i busting a mf move here at the frame shop today
gonna try to talk tess and han into watching stop making sense tonight after band practice wish me luck
drugs won’t change you religion won’t change you 🙂↕️

this comes at no surprise but i love this album so much . jammy and imperfect and the music just feels so cool.. this might be my favorite neil young album. that guitar tone 😵💫 dare i say proto grunge ?
favs: cinnamon girl, down by the river, and cowgirl in the sand

Rated 6/10
it’s britney bitch….

pretty upsetting to listen to when you’re thinking about the context . she was only 17!!!!! seven teen !!
here for the beat goes on & the house remixes at the end of the digital deluxe like cmonnnn

pink moon is a comfort album for me. i love nick drake & im happy to see his whole discography made this list, i think all 3 of his albums deserve it
the guitar playing on this record is just excellent, i really want to try out the open tunings he was using. the fingerstyle is so full and expressive & accompanies his voice so well. also the fret buzz is perfect to me esp on know
parasite is my favorite because i <3 pain and suffering . but truly i don’t think i would really listen to any of these tracks individually or put them on a playlist when the album itself is so short && like yes all the songs sound the same but to me pink moon is a singular mood more than it is a progression of tracks with different tones

had never listened to these guys before, it’s very cool to listen for the first time to a band that influenced a bunch of bands that i really like
first listen was in the car and i was like meh . gave it another try in the headphones and i like it! i get why so many groups took this sound and ran with it
that being said bloodsport annoyed the shit outta me
favorites: the wait & wardance
