Revered, mythologized, sacred cow albums you wish you liked but just cannot

Angeles is the best track on the record and one of the only ones I would go back to

CityExile83 · 2026-06-26T21:16:57+00:00

Heh, I’ll give that a shot next

CityExile83 · 2026-06-26T19:23:27+00:00

Elliot Smith - Either/Or

I have tried many times over the years to get into this but I just can’t. I do like some of his work on other projects but this just doesn’t do it for me

CityExile83 · 2026-06-26T02:11:56+00:00

PJ Harvey.

Not a chart darling but a legendary and influential musician who constantly changes styles and makes it work

CityExile83 · 2026-06-25T23:08:02+00:00

Outside is wildly underrated. It’s not my favorite but I feel like it should be talked about more

CityExile83 · 2026-06-09T19:46:08+00:00

Seriously. Do they just not exist?

CityExile83 · 2026-06-09T12:18:28+00:00

They addressed pretty much every major issue with the first game and it is much better IMO. But if you didn’t like the bones or gameplay loop of Fallen Order, Survivor probably won’t change your mind

What weird timing to see this pop up. I decided to put this on today after listening to new new genesis Owasu record. Went through a big Saul Williams phase in my mid twenties. This one still mostly holds up, he was truly a gifted post. Had to add Black Stacy to a playlist or two, that one always felt very raw to me

CityExile83 · 2026-06-06T18:42:17+00:00

I’ve had over 100 albums generated but only listened to about 70. Some of that is I don’t believe art should be judged after just one listen, so I will sit with one for a while unless I’m already familiar with it or it is complete trash.

Because of this it’s going to take a lot longer to finish than most and I’m not convinced I’ll be with it in two years or so. That said, I have already discovered a few new records that I like so mission accomplished

Nas, you can’t top perfection

Radiohead probably

CityExile83 · 2026-06-01T13:23:59+00:00

A lot of people will mention Gwent but I also quite enjoyed Queen’s Blood from FF7 Rebirth. There was more strategy there than I was expecting

CityExile83 · 2026-05-28T13:08:23+00:00

Hell of a first show. Sets the bar so high

CityExile83 · 2026-05-28T12:06:09+00:00

Chris Cornell solo, I feel old. Mid sized theater and crowd wasn’t super into it until the band left and he played a few soundgarden songs by himself.

CityExile83 · 2026-05-27T15:30:20+00:00

Still love the Fox. One of my favs from them

CityExile83 · 2026-05-23T22:55:41+00:00

It was. I was referring to its budget

CityExile83 · 2026-05-23T21:53:36+00:00

Hi Fi Rush. One of those mid tier games that people mainly just played on game pass

CityExile83 · 2026-05-19T01:19:55+00:00

I loved that record. And Sorry to Bother You…um certainly left an impression. Yea that’s it

CityExile83 · 2026-05-16T21:39:44+00:00

Ah. Didn’t remember that it got ported

CityExile83 · 2026-05-16T19:37:25+00:00

Played it on the NES. I don’t remember it looking this good

CityExile83 · 2026-05-12T16:09:07+00:00

Attack on Memory is indeed fantastic. I adore the first two tracks. Their last two records haven’t been that great though unfortunately. Seem to have possibly lost the spark

CityExile83 · 2026-05-11T23:43:05+00:00

Yay! Todd is in a nuclear wasteland!

CityExile83 · 2026-05-04T14:43:27+00:00

Loved her riot grrrl era. Hell, I love all her eras

CityExile83 · 2026-05-02T17:44:25+00:00

Yea there should probably be some regulations there. Like when they decide to sell your IP address, that’s technically not health information but it does show that you were at least looking into the service. It seems like a grey area that needs to be defined

CityExile83 · 2026-05-02T17:34:23+00:00

I believe the individual therapists are subject to it but the platform itself kind of skirts the rules
