Brutal Youth
Elvis Costello80 albums in, reluctantly my first 1 star… but it was so boring and bland, at least musically, and the lyrics also didn’t do anything for me.
Dub Housing
Pere UbuCouldn't get past the chicken-like vocals. Sounded like inter-dimensional cable in Rick & Morty. Instrumentals were interesting though...
Black Holes and Revelations
MuseThis album has been removed from the latest editions of the book. Enjoyed it a lot still. I used to not care about Muse much, feels quite strange I’m about to rate it 5*! 4.5/5

Sign 'O' The Times
PrinceFelt like many random songs just thrown together. I cannot understand all the glowing reviews this one got.
Slanted And Enchanted
PavementI suppose this was a very influential album at the time, but I didn’t really like it.
Clandestino
Manu ChaoAfter listening to it a second time on my hifi setup, I actually liked it.
Made In Japan
Deep PurpleSounds so heavy for 1972! Great raw, live album. Removed one star because some songs are dragging on for far too long.
A Seat at the Table
SolangeI liked the concept of the album, but the music itself, not so much. It's mostly beats and vocals, and there wasn't a single memorable melody that I want to go back and listen to. I think I liked the interludes the most...
No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith (Live)
MotörheadThis album is turning 40 this year… but they are all dead, sadly. A lot of energy here, and short, fast, catchy tracks. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I loved it.
Welcome To The Pleasuredome
Frankie Goes To HollywoodI really liked some songs, but overall the album seemed a needlessly too long.
Ace of Spades
MotörheadAll songs are the same, raw production, Lemmy cannot sing, frivolous lyrics, five stars!
Pink Moon
Nick DrakeI'd heard of Nick Drake for about 15 years now, but somehow never got around to listening. Overwhelmingly emotional album... not really my typical genre, but it left quite the mark.
The Madcap Laughs
Syd BarrettLove Pink Floyd, but didn’t manage to get into the Syd stuff so far…
Goodbye And Hello
Tim BuckleyDidn't like it as much as Happy Sad. A bit too much 60s folk rock in this list...
Casanova
The Divine ComedyDid not resonate with me at all… At least the recording and production were good.
White Light / White Heat
The Velvet UndergroundI expected to hate this one, but not so much in the end.
Brutal Youth
Elvis Costello80 albums in, reluctantly my first 1 star… but it was so boring and bland, at least musically, and the lyrics also didn’t do anything for me.
The Hour Of Bewilderbeast
Badly Drawn BoyThis album is no longer in the latest editions of the book, and I can't say I disagree.
Led Zeppelin
Led ZeppelinWhen I listen to albums so carefully, while reading the lyrics, I have the tendency to find faults that I never knew were there. But won't matter this time, what a great debut album!
Dub Housing
Pere UbuCouldn't get past the chicken-like vocals. Sounded like inter-dimensional cable in Rick & Morty. Instrumentals were interesting though...
Merriweather Post Pavilion
Animal CollectiveFor some reason I can’t stand indie stuff from my 20s. This one was hard to sit through. Only my 2nd 1* in 125 albums.
Rip It Up
Orange JuiceNever heard of Orange Juice before, though I did know Edwyn Collins. There are a few nice tracks, but I don't think I'll be listening to this again soon.
Black Holes and Revelations
MuseThis album has been removed from the latest editions of the book. Enjoyed it a lot still. I used to not care about Muse much, feels quite strange I’m about to rate it 5*! 4.5/5
Drunk
ThundercatThis album was only in the 2018 edition of the list, it is removed for the 2021 one.
21
AdeleNo longer in the latest editions of the book. Everybody has already heard the good songs on this album, and the rest isn’t worth it imo.
Scum
Napalm DeathNot as terrible as it’s made to be. There are two different lineups on each half, and I liked the first side more.
In The Court Of The Crimson King
King CrimsonNeeded more than one listen to really appreciate.
