Young Americans
David Bowie
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
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.

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

Grace
Jeff Buckley
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.

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

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
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
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

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

In The Wee Small Hours
Frank Sinatra
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.

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