Carpenters

5/5

Great! Mostly the songs are very sweet, but also interesting. What struck me most was the drums and percussions and the use of weird instruments like flutes.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

A 15 min version of 'my generation' makes up about half of the album. So all in all, pretty awesome! Some nice raw sounding 70's rock. Apparently is is live recorded, which might give it an extra raw feel, but for the most part I didn't even notice it is a live album.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

2/5

Not really my jam, a bit too sweet at times, but still not a bad listen. The album starts strong with the first 2 songs (Band On The Run and Jet). The middle felt very Beatles-ish, but a bit flat or boring. The last song however (Nineteen Hundred And Eighty Five) was again great.

Low-Life

New Order

3/5

Even though I did not know a single song on the album beforehand, it was a very pleasant listen. A nice balance between high energy (almost disco) vibes and ambient synth, this must be one of my favorite new wave albums.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

It was about what I expected of a Maiden album. Although I was not familiar with any of the songs on the album, they all did sound familiar.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

The album starts with the hit song 'Tiny Dancer'. The rest follows in that vein. Great piano-heavy ballads.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

2/5

Most of it is not really my thing. The high pitch singing from Robert Plant gets annoying to me after a while. However, tangerine is an exception, love that song. And Imigrant Song as the opener is also great (or maybe I'm just not yet tired at that point).

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

5/5

Great! Funny and interesting songs. Up there with some of the most legendary beatles albums from that time.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

1/5

Probably great.... for someone who enjoys grunge.

Fleet Foxes

2/5

Quiet beautiful, but a bit to airy for me when I try to sit through the full album.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

2/5

Actually a bit disappointed. For such a legendary album from a band that I like, I would have expected to be blown away. But I could not really get into it.
