The Beatles - Album Rep. #4
Personal background: Last time I heard it, I loved it, but it's been a bit now
Expectations: Renewed enjoyment
Historical background: Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is from the perspective of the titular Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, a fictional band The Beatles created, according to Wikipedia, for the sake of allowing the band to experiment as much as possible with a degree of separation from being The Beatles. Here they were super ... read more
The Velvet Underground - Album Rep. #1
Nico - Album Rep. #1
Personal background: Obviously it's a cool record. I've never thought much about it, though, outside of Femme Fatale and Venus in Furs. I've heard the record front-to-back a handful of times and appreciated it
Expectations: I'll be calling it a masterpiece and everything
Historical background: Andy Warhol! One of the most significant "underground" records of all time. Hugely ahead of its time. Gritty ... read more
Bob Dylan - Album Rep. #4
Personal background: Personal favorite Dylan album. Just excellent. Has all the best songs of his career

The review: Man, it still holds up so well, in fact, maybe even ... read more
The Beach Boys - Album Rep. #1
Personal background: I've heard it a couple times. Yea, it's good. Really the only surf rock I've gone out of my way to hear was Jan & Dean, soooo
Expectations: Increased enjoyment
Historical background: The Beach Boys finally become more than a plain old surf band! And it only took them 11 albums. Ooh. Yikes. But at least we got Pet Sounds out of it. Their goal? Become bigger and badder than The Beatles. This was written as a response to ... read more
The Beatles - Album Rep. #3
Personal background: Briefly my favorite Beatles album, containing the legendary "Eleanor Rigby" and yea okay fair enough a few duds
Expectations: Medium to high enjoyment
Historical background: The Beatles go fully psychedelic and avant-garde at this point in their career. The whole thing was pretty LSD influenced (versus Rubber Soul, which was pretty marijuana influenced). Also, here George Harrison really gets his sitar on.
The review: who hates ... read more
About
A blog in which I listen to the greatest albums of all time in chronological order of release. The amount of representation per year = how many well rated albums were released.
Rating scale: grade I would give the album if it were a final exam for an "albums 101" class. 50% of the score is how important I think it is out of 10 and 50% is how much I actually enjoy it.
