Electric Ladyland
Jimi Hendrix
At the time of release, I'm sure this was an incredible album, but imo its aged quite poorly. Even ignoring my personal opinion of not really enjoying psychedelic rock, every "guitar solo" I heard just sounded like noodling in the studio

The musical embodiment of anti-piracy. Pure nostalgia of the little I can remember of the very early 2000s, I was very put off by the first couple tracks but it slowly turned into an enjoyable album I could see myself adding a couple songs to an outside summer garden playlist

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
PJ Harvey
5/5, this album was fantastic, I was torn between 4/5 for a while but the last couple tracks swayed me. The album does it all and does it well, most tracks felt unique and well produced, the antepenultimate taking you high, followed by the horses taking you low was cool, but coupled with the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ resolution to end the album, truly impressed me. This is a prime example of the necessity of this website

The Slim Shady LP
Eminem
Huge Eminem fan, I used to listen and know most of the lyrics to Relapse, Recovery & MMLP2. I cant believe I deprived myself of the earlier work, Ive always been hesitant to listen to the earlier stuff because I thought it would be closer to D12 and gang nonsense. The album is closer to perfect than most albums I know. If I had might be one of my favourite Eminem tracks, it was such a far cry from the usual tracks. Rock Bottom was another standout ( excluding the ones I knew, (My Name Is, guilty Conscience) . IJDGAF also very good,. The best album Ive heard on here so far.

Theres just no way to describe this album. A pure amalgamation of genres. It feels very sporadic, there were some songs I loved (World's Famous, Double Dutch), and others I was just bewildered by.
All in all i'd definitely recommend this for someone to listen to, purely just so they can experience the same thing I did, which was mainly confusion and bewilderment.

Every song is just a Queen song. (which is most definitely a compliment)

There were a couple parts in songs that I thought dragged the track down for me but sooner rather than later it was back to hard hitting vocals or a sweet solo
I think my real rating would be somewhere around 4.75, because it didnt WOW me like some other albums i've given 5 too, but in the same breath it was a constant stream of great music

Amazing album from head to toe. Hells Bells is a perfect opening track.

There isn't a single bad track here, and while some can feel similar, its a formula that works so well. AC/DC always has this talent to mask power chords behind other complexities so, so well
