Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

I went into this album having already downloaded two of the songs, I left having downloaded them all. This album has it all, good songwriting, good music, and variety. The political messages sound extra important in today’s world and the Paul McCartney diss track is something special. I’m sure I’m biased because of my Beatlemania as a kid but I have to rate this as a near perfect album. 9/10 but 5/5

Young Americans

David Bowie

3/5

Bowie provides some funk but not quite enough to label it as such, also the Beatles cover throws me off.

Younger Than Yesterday

The Byrds

2/5

The Byrds used common 60s methods like backwards guitar riffs in the album but they all just felt wrong. A few songs sounded like what a headache feels like.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

A good album, no song stood out as great but then again none were bad either

Grace

Jeff Buckley

3/5

Buckley popularized hallelujah but it’s not the version in Shrek. I also liked “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over.” I was leaning more 3.5 with this album.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

The harmonica on this album is so shrill, it made certain songs hard to listen to. The themes of the songs, like police officers and prisoners, just don’t hit anything for me. No song stood out as good or bad throughout the album. I’d do 2.5 stars if I could.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Not my preferred genre of music but it’s hard to deny that this is a great album. It shreds plain and simple!

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

2/5

Nothing really stands out about this album, I almost forgot that I listened to it earlier. 2.5

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

3/5

Two songs I liked enough to save, some songs were plain weird though, I think one or two more good songs would’ve bumped this up!

Imagine

John Lennon

5/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

1/5

“Jazz is stupid, I mean just play the right notes” - Angela Martin

Virgin Suicides

Air

1/5

It was the soundtrack to a film I’ve never heard of.

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

I had high hopes for this album but it ended up just being alright to me

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

I love this kind of music hence the 4 star rating, but I can see the possible complaints. There is no variety whatsoever in this album. Every song sounds exactly the same, it just so turns out that I like the sound.

All Mod Cons

The Jam

3/5

Some good songs, some not so good songs. It was an interesting listen but not my normal cup of tea!

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

4/5

Good album, some stuff I loved but not all of it, maybe a 3.5 here
