Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

2/5

A few good songs, but overall a little schmaltzy for me. I'd give it a few more listens to see if it grows on me.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Really good, lots of bangers. Probably on par with Houses of the Holy for me in terms of having those long tracks that you can sit with for a while

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

I think the songs I didn't know from this album are more interesting than the ones I did know.

Teen Dream

Beach House

4/5

Probably need more listens to it. Feels like Portishead/Goldfrapp/The Walkmen (I think? and other slow, haunting indie rock

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

I'm too used to American Girl being the start of an album that it feels really weird to have it be the end of the this album.

Elastica

3/5

Is it an amazing album? No, but it has some good songs and actually a lot more than I would have cited from memory. Like 5 songs that I had some previous memory of, including the one from the Trainspotting soundtrack.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

A few good songs, but overall a little schmaltzy for me. I'd give it a few more listens to see if it grows on me.

4/5

Always love Sound and Vision. The other songs on the album take a little more work to get into, but I do like it. Also it's like half-instrumental.

Supposed to be one of their best albums but felt a little dated to me. Crosby's rejected "Triad" was one of the better songs, tbh
