Angels & Airwaves - Chasing Shadows
NR

A nice step up from their last EP and a good hold over between LPs. 3 of the 4 songs are great with Artillery being the weakest for me. Still a solid song though

blink-182 - California
NR

I loved this album when it came out. I just wanted more blink and was happy with whatever. Returning to this after Tom has rejoined made me see this album for what it is. It’s not particularly good and only has a handful of notable tracks

An album made by Mark Hoppus, Matt Skiba and Travis Barker should be so much better and should sound way different. Gonna place a lot of blame on producer John Feldman, this is the sound he wanted and it’s what he got. Not great!

blink-182 - California (Deluxe Edition)
NR

The deluxe part of the album is SO much better than the original California

blink-182 - NINE
NR

Rough album all around. There are a couple of decent songs here like Heaven and Darkside and one genuine banger, No Heart To Speak Of. Everything else is incredibly forgettable

Metallica - Ride the Lightning
NR

I’m not a huge fan of metal so my expectations weren’t too high despite this albums classic status. This album immediately hooked me and had me jamming for 47 minutes. I can see why this is considered one of the best metal albums ever!

Swans - To Be Kind
NR

My take on this album that goes against the grain: There isn’t an album in the history of music that needs to be 2 hours long. While there is some interesting stuff here, this album certainly doesn’t justify it

The Vaccines - Pick-up Full of Pink Carnations
NR

The album starts off pretty strong but the back half isn’t nearly as good as the first half. This is still a step up from their last album so I’ll take it

Favorite Tracks: Sometimes I Swear & Discount De Kooning

Green Day - Saviors
NR

Their best album since American Idiot!

The Clash - London Calling
NR

I don’t love every song here but I can see why this album is a classic

The Velvet Underground & Nico - The Velvet Underground & Nico
NR

The 60s might be my favorite decade for music. Such a crazy innovative decade

Big Thief - Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You
NR

The placement of songs on this is incredibly planned out. The top songs are spread out so the album always feels fresh with a long track list

Adrianne Lenker - songs
NR

Adrianne Lenker is a special talent

408 - Hot Mess
NR

This is just okay but I feel like this band has such great potential

Matt Champion - Mika's Laundry
NR

Really solid debut!

Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood
NR

Probably my favorite album of 2024 at this point

Adrianne Lenker - Bright Future
NR

Such a beautiful album. One of the best of the year

The Story So Far - Proper Dose
NR

Best pop punk album of the 2010s?

Sum 41 - Heaven :x: Hell
NR

Didn’t love this album. There was a little too much MGK influence on the pop punk side. The concept for this album was a cool idea for a final album though
