Joy Division - Closer
97

A painfully beautiful swan song to one of the best bands of all time, how it manages to sound broken yet creating and holding on to the darkest music you could've find at the time. And that's not even talking about the lyrics that demonstrate nothing but hopelessness throughout someone's word, amplified by Ian Curtis's performance being so underwhelming and not as energetic in comparison to past recordings, making this energy, or lack of, a very distinct and honestly ... read more

Neil Diamond - Cracklin' Rosie
88

i just really like this song

Alison's Halo - Alison's Halo on Audiotree Live
79

Solid live set, I still have yet to listen to their EP from last year, but just seeing them having a come back is pretty nice (apparently this comeback has the touch of the same manager responsible for the Panchiko reunion). Highly recommend the Youtube video that includes an interview with the band members for anyone who's interested

Michael Jackson - Speed Demon
87

I find this to be one of the funniest songs of all time for some reason, maybe the really fast synths on the chorus do it for me

89

There was a fish in the synthesizer!

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
85

Phenomenal production, fun bars that don't sound as childish as their debut, and the signature delivery and charisma from the trio that flows through the whole record

Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
72

a good 70s rock album but not a good Sabbath one
It's honestly surprising because after six albums the band still could write and produce pretty solid stuff, even though they sound like a different band completely, which is obviously the main issue that was already growing along last efforts. I just think that while it still doesn't get even close to what made them so unique, this is still pretty good and enjoyable at most parts.
Solid generic gem

George Harrison - Wonderwall Music
59

love me some soundtracks for movies I might never watch in my life, it has its interesting bits here and there given how short some of the songs are, don't see myself coming back though

Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan
68

Pretty decent stuff for a debut, his consistent performance through it makes it worth listening until the end

松任谷由実 [Yumi Matsutoya] - Hikō-ki Gumo
82

a very heartwarming and easygoing listen

The Beatles - Hey Jude
100

yeah Hey Jude is an obvious classic, but the version of Revolution here is a must hear on its own

The Beatles - Paperback Writer / Rain
95

Revolver era is indeed the best

The Beatles - Day Tripper
90

She be day tripping on it till I work it out

David Bowie - Diamond Dogs
80

Although it doesn't have the same artistic vision and value as Bowie's biggest albums before this release, "Diamond Dogs" has remarkable tracks and a concept strong enough to stand on its own, and even though it's based on a book I've never read, there's an obvious care on building the perfect adaptation that Bowie wanted for the hypothetical musical that unfortunately didn't happen. Underrated

The Breeders - Title TK
76

ever heard a lowkey noise pop album?
While my love and appreciation for The Breeders first two records only grows as time goes by, and actually giving me legit inspiration when I felt down or worn out, their unique mashing of pop structures and noisy/experimental left a big mark on my head and what type of music I really enjoy. Glazing aside and taking the bias off my eyes, "Title TK" unfortunately doesn't fully carry the weight the 90s albums have, which could be tolerable if ... read more

Blur - Leisure
66

a fine debut album, production is top tier and the whole album is very consistent from beggining to end, but apart from some standout tracks, it really isn't a career defining record nor have mindblowing moments to obsess over. It's a cool retrospective for Blur, especially considering the elements explored here, + points to the haircut Damon Albarn at the time of this album.

I'd rather listen to this than Definitely Maybe though
(Blur:1/Oasis:0)
