Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

very good album personally, i lreally liked the improvised bits in each song especially the piano. the bass wasnt quite right but still very enjoyable

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

nothing glaringly that i dislike about this album but the voice doesnt sound quite right and the background music doesnt match the severity of the voice. sort of sounds like a ripoff adele as well

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

not too bad of an album but bit weird. very strong theme throughout the album and im not sure its quite my cup of tea

Arrival

ABBA

4/5

very good album, not quite a 5 star but i would give it a 4.5 star if i could. this is because the songs are very similar and i have to be in a good mood to listen to them but very good songs and, of course, iconic

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

5/5

very good album. so many absolute slaps throughout that i already knew and more that ive just found. easy 5 star

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Decent album but not quite my style. I can see why people like it tho

Billy Joel

4/5

good album, billy joel is one of the greats and he doesnt have many, if any, bad songs or albums

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

3/5

bit of a weird one - im stuck between giving them a 3 star and a 2 star depending on which song i listen to

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

4/5

very good album in my opinion with great funky styles. simple yet effective and i couldnt really get bored of it at all

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

3/5

weird album not really sure if i like it or not but still not objectively terrible

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

absolutely cracking album, again id give it a 4.5 but i cant so imma give it a 4 because its not quite a 5 star - didnt really got a lot of variety but what i did get was a whole load of good music

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

not the best album, not a big fan of that sort of hip hop especially the beat - its just too simple and it needs more than just the drums and that.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

nice album, i dont know why but i really like this album and i cant really tell why. bit of the same each song but still weirdly good

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

2/5

not a big fan, just a weird mix of heavy metal guitar and a vague attempt at rapping as there is no melody at all. not a pain to listen to but close

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

very nice album with some classics. not a fan of the live recording version but still very good music

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

2/5

really weird album. sounds like a bit of jazz, 60s and 70s pop and then a sprinkling of 80s rock as well. the singer has a flexible definition of sticking to one genre as well and it doesnt really work that well as a combination

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

5/5

very good album, lots of absolute slaps and gives me a reminder of the blues brothers which is nice. solid 5 star

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

good album, not many classics or memorable songs but a good album still. feels like [retty much all of the songs are like album fillers but good album fillers without a specific iconic song

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

good album, not something to listen to to listen to the music purely, but decent background music. all a bit of the same as well, not much difference for a passive listener between songs

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

3/5

i feel like i shouldnt like this album but i do its a bit weird but in a good way. on most of the songs the texture was a bit thick so i had to listen through headphones to hear it well

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

2/5

not sure about this one not my cup of tea but nothing glaringly bad about it either

Dare!

The Human League

4/5

really good album. wasnt sure if i was going to like it but it does work well and i do indeed like it a lot

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

weird album. some absolute unforgettable slaps like otherside, californication and parallel universe but some really weird songs that dont work at all like around the world and get on top

Joan Baez

2/5

not really my taste in music. the singing was very high pitched and light and airy with a thin backing track. not really what i like

Clandestino

Manu Chao

3/5

good album, bit repetitive but i like the way the whole album flows through. i like the way that he uses different languages through the album as well. not something i would listen to normally but its very bearable

Tuesday Night Music Club

Sheryl Crow

3/5

decent album, not quite my type of music but not too bad of an album with a few songs that werent too bad but overall not something i would listen to out of my own doing

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

absolute slap of an album. no bad songs on it and some absolute belters

Reign In Blood

Slayer

1/5

not my thing too much screaming and too many satanic themes. the drums are too heavy as well and there isnt enough focus on the guitar which isnt too bad

The Coral

3/5

good album - a lot of variation between songs and very nice songs indeed. good album overall

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

good album, didnt really pay much attention to the lyrics but nice background music

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

good album but was slightly strange, felt like i was listening to a crime thriller. also sounded like the peaky blinders theme

Hot Buttered Soul
