Welcome back to Classic Rock Sunday, today's first album is the twelfth album of English musician and icon David Bowie, "Heroes." I've listened to David Bowie before since I have Under Pressure in my playlist, but this album is my formal introduction to him. The first half is purely rock songs, but the second half is filled with ambient tracks except for The Secret Life of Arabia.

The first half of the album has amazing instrumentation, vocals, and production. I love ... read more

Slightly pretentious but honestly it adds to the charm of this album. The progression of each song is pretty great, and those build-ups are just amazing, especially the ending track Cassandra Gemini. Although the band said that they were inspired by King Crimson, the whole feel of this album reminds me more of Pink Floyd, especially their lengthy songs Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Echoes, and Atom Heart Mother. Overall, this was a great experience and I highly enjoyed listening to it.

Wanted to listen to some prog, but post-punk called to me instead. I will still be listening to that prog later though. Anyways, this album is pretty great, some weak points like Tell Her Tonight but overall tons of hits here.

This is the same band who made that annoying ass song Heat Waves btw. Anyways, this is Glass Animals second album, How to Be a Human Being. Overall, it's pretty solid, no misses. I feel like the instrumentals carry a few of the tracks like Life Itself, but this album is still good regardless.

We Still Don't Trust You is the sequel to We Don't Trust You, which was released three weeks before this one. I already reviewed the prequel already, and I thought it was a mixed bag with high highs and low lows. Compared to the prequel, this isn't a fully hip-hop project, with the first disc of the album leaning more R&B, while the second disc is fully hip-hop. With that, Future sings on this project a lot more compared to We Don't Trust You. I really liked all three ... read more

The final album for this week's Classic Rock Sunday is an album that is considered the landmark of shoegaze, and the second studio album of Irish-English rock band My Bloody Valentine, this is Loveless. I'm not going to lie, I have never heard a shoegaze song or album in my life, and this is my first time experiencing this sub-genre. I've heard many great things about this album and the band overall though.

This album was loud, louder than I expected that I had to turn down my ... read more

Continuing this week's Classic Rock Sunday, the second album I listened to was one of the most popular rock albums, the album that blew up the subgenre of grunge, and the second studio album of American rock band Nirvana, this is Nevermind. This album is considered a staple in grunge. Although not the first grunge album, Nevermind boosted grunge as a genre into the mainstream, especially with its immense hit single Smells Like Teen Spirit, which is now one of the most recognizable rock ... read more

In this week's Classic Rock Sunday, I wanted to do something a bit unique today by listening to three albums that were released in the same year. Another strange aspect I realized between the these three albums I chose was that all of them were highly influential in their subgenres of rock. Today's first album is highly influential in post-rock's development and the second studio album of American rock band Slint, this is Spiderland. The album sold less than 5,000 copies during ... read more

Abrasive, jazzy, aggressive, and progressive. Debatably black midi's best album, just slightly better than Shlagenheim.

Atlanta rapper JID slides through these sixteen tracks beautifully with his smooth flows and clever deliveries in this highly acclaimed album of 2022.

Rest in peace Mac Miller, this is the first album I listened from him. This is a great posthumous album, and I'm very glad his estate is treating his legacy with respect, unlike some other late rappers like XXXTentacion or Juice WRLD, whose labels and estates don't care about desecrating those rappers' legacies in order to squeeze as much profit from them. I will definitely check out the rest of Mac's catalog, I really like his voice and the production on this album is great ... read more

Finally some non-woke music /s

Weeb music (I loved it), hope season 2 drops

One of the most influential hip-hop groups, NWA released their debut studio album Straight Outta Compton in 1988. This was the only album of NWA to feature the entire lineup. Does it hold up today? For the most part, yes.

The production on this album held surprisingly well for something that's nearly 40 years old. The vocal performances of Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ren were pretty good, though the one who stood out most to me was Ice Cube. This album isn't perfect ... read more

Starts off pretty weak, but ends strong. I liked the second half of the album way better than the first half, especially with the last two tracks Ghost Town and Violent Crimes, both are just masterpieces. Of course, Kanye's production on this album is amazing as always, that's a given lol.

Welcome to the third album of this week's Classic Rock Sunday, which is the fourth studio album of American rock band Steely Dan, Katy Lied.

Just like In the Court of the Crimson King, Rising, or Rumours, this is another rock album that I listened to some years ago. Back then, I thought that this album was good and I liked it. But does it hold up today? Well yes, it sounds surprisingly better than my first listen since I have a better appreciation for music today. Not my favorite album ... read more

On today's second Classic Rock Sunday album, one of the most influential metal albums of all time and the second studio album of English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, Paranoid. I have listened to War Pigs and Paranoid before, but only today did I listen to the full album.

This album starts off strong and stays strong all the way to the end, all thanks to Ozzy's high pitched vocals to Tony Iommi's insane guitar playing, to the boisterous drums of Bill Ward, to the slick ... read more

Welcome to this week's Classic Rock Sunday, and today I listened to one of the most influential rock albums of all time and the debut studio album of American rock band The Velvet Underground, their self-titled album with German singer Nico. For an album that was released in rock's early years, this album was ahead of its time and pushed the limits of what rock music was with the album's avant-garde and experimental sound. The album was a commercial failure when it was released, ... read more

Another classic City Pop album by Tatsuro Yamashita. Slightly dips down by the end but it's still an amazing album overall. Also, I LOVE the track Ride on Time so much.

Every part of this album is just perfect. The groovy and funky instrumentation coupled with Tatsuro's heavenly vocal performances help to create such an effective and spectacular City Pop album that maintains its' greatness from front to back.
