Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths · 8 likes

5/5

A fantastic album, from the vocals to the layered instrumentation everything fits together so well. Truly ahead of its time and certainly laid the groundwork for countless musicians to follow.

Butterfly

2/5

The Roof Shook Ones Part II sample 🔥, otherwise a very well produced album and Mariah Carey obviously has an incredible voice. Just not the type of music for me

Don McLean

2/5

Some solid Americana, only really liked the title track though

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

Solid and classic album through and through. Dre makes some timeless beats and while the subject matter in some songs are fairly surface level it's still an enjoyable listen

Butterfly

some real bops throughout and just an enjoyable listen all around

Diamond Life

Sade

2/5

Some nice tunes/sounds but not really what I'm into

Technique

New Order

4/5

Way ahead of its time. Some great disco stuff in the second half and just a nice boppin album

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

Very sonically interesting, like the backstory behind the music and think it's a cool fusion of industrial sound with some more traditional aspects of music.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

4/5

Some really jamming stuff, great blend of bluegrass and rock and a real lively performance

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

5/5

A fantastic album, from the vocals to the layered instrumentation everything fits together so well. Truly ahead of its time and certainly laid the groundwork for countless musicians to follow.

All The Young Dudes

Mott The Hoople

3/5

An all around solid album from a band I had no idea existed, just knew the main title track. Some great production and Bowie's work on the title track was phenomenal. Certainly a band that has been relatively lost in rock history

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

Some great atmospheric, grimy sounds throughout but besides Tainted Love, not a lot of stand out tracks

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

3/5

A bit of a departure from their previous albums, not as cohesive as I would like but some solid gems throughout

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

2/5

Wasn't able to listen to the whole album since it wasn't available. Nonetheless, a fun little early R&B album but nothing that really stood out to me

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

2/5

Some cool psychedelic stuff in the beginning but mostly forgettable in the second half

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

4/5

Great range of sounds in here, can see why Eno was such an influential figure

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

A few standout songs here and there like Waterloo Sunset, fun listen but nothing that really gripped me

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Great big band sounds, some funny lyrics and well done mixture of english and italian influence

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Real dancey upbeat bops, while the middle blends together a bit the high points outweigh the lows

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

One of the greatest, RIP Phife Dawg

Tommy

The Who

3/5

Interesting narrative weaved throughout, recognized the pinball song but otherwise unfamiliar with The Who. Felt like relatively standard rock stuff, some cool sounds sprinkled throughout though.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

A solid variety of different genres mashed together to make a distinguished soundtrack. Not sure if there is much replayability for me personally though

Spiderland

Slint

2/5

Liked the harder elements of the album, the soft whisper bits would go on a bit too long.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

A classic obviously, great consistent sound and just a neato album to throw on

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

2/5

Listened to the wrong album first, nothing that really stood out to me. Good vocals I guess and a song here or there that was kind of cool to listen to but not something I'd come back to.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

2/5

A few bops here and there but nothing I would go back to

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

3/5

Great punk elements throughout, a little too free form for my tastes but can definitely appreciate the sound they were going for

No Other

Gene Clark

4/5

Actually much preferred this to his work with the Byrds, sound felt more fleshed out and realized. Very enjoyable.

Destroyer

KISS

1/5

Pretty generic and not really engaging, can understand the appeal and they certainly leaned into the whole notion of the band as a pure product but I'm not a fan.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

A lot of good usage of distortion effects throughout and certainly a very distinctive voice that lends itself well to the music. Not quite what I was expecting going in but all around ok.

Transformer

Lou Reed

2/5

Solid rock stuff, walk on the wild side is a classic for sure

The Rise & Fall

Madness

4/5

Really like the experimentation with sounds in this album, didn't know this is what ska music was like

Vespertine

Björk

2/5

Very haunting voice and eclectic sounds but a little too far out there for my enjoyment

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Enjoyable, will have to check out other Tom Petty stuff

Bert Jansch

2/5

Good backgroundy stuff, but not my thing

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Good stuff but nothing that really struck me besides the hits.

Rattlesnakes

Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

2/5

One standout track, otherwise not my thing

Timeless

Goldie

1/5

I've learned I do not care that much for DnB/Jungle

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

Couple songs I liked, was more interested in the story behind the band but some definitely solid rock stuff throughout paired with lyrical content that was fairly unique for the time.

The xx

2/5

Nice production and vocals but most of it seemed to blend together for me.

Gold

Ryan Adams

2/5

Too "Hey There Delilah" for me

Tarkus

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Cool prog stuff

Dare!
