The Soft Bulletin

The Flaming Lips

4/5

I didn't get it at all on my first listen, grew on me on the second time through though. This would be a phenomenal album for a road trip through the forested country side or a camping trip. Pretty good but reviews that told me it was one of the best albums of the 90s set me up for disappointment.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

One of my first vinyls and my intro to prog rock. Love it to bits

Sheet Music

10cc

4/5

Comedy? Humorous anyways. Definitely interesting, feels like a precursor to some of the more off the wall things that Queen was executing later in the decade.

Talvin Singh

1/5

Couldn't get into it at all, not really into electronic.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Beautiful, the type of album that can transport you to another time and place, makes me forget some of the bad.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

5/5

Badass, can we get hip-hop like this again?

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

3/5

Good? Presumably very conceptual for the time but it didn’t grip me really.

Document

R.E.M.

4/5

Yeah pretty cool, definitely carved out niche for the Tragically Hip, 54-40, Hootie and the Blowfish and some other alt rock of the 90's.

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

4/5

Music history lessons are always cool

You're Living All Over Me

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Pretty good, everything from this era kind of sounds similar.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

4/5

Really cool, A side is phenomenal but B side got a little boring, it’ll get played again

Low-Life

Parklife

Blur

3/5

So funny to me that this is the sound that brought British music back, not bad by any means just quirky. I did enjoy it but not one of my favourites.

The Beach Boys Today!

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

4/5

Reminiscent of Tribe Called Quest

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

5/5

Very good, felt slightly formulaic based on other stuff I’ve listened too but based on historical context it’s clear that this album helped establish the formula. Will definitely listen to again and I may grab some Latin music for the vinyl collection.

Guess you had to be there

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

5/5

This is like if In the Aeroplane over the sea was a punk album. Maybe that comparison is stupid but it makes sense to me at this particular moment in time. Either way, this is quite good for my punk-loving soul, unlike anything I've ever heard.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Kenya

Machito

3/5

Colour By Numbers

Culture Club

4/5

An album that only could’ve come into existence in the early 80s. Everything about how the band decided to present themselves is so peculiar. From Boy Georges look to the album art to the utterly perplexing music videos it just gets weirder and weirder. That being said, pretty good album. High points are Black Money, Church of the Poison Mind, and of course the ever-popular Karma Chameleon.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

Enjoyable, pre-Strokes garage rock. A little slow at times but very emotionally driven. Builds on the late 70's post-punk model.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

5/5

A perfect album.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

4/5

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Liked this more than I expected too. One of the songs ends with 15 seconds of ASMR breathing which made me deeply uncomfortable.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

4/5

Some good songs on here, as someone who appreciates Tribe Called Quest this ticked a lot of boxes. Album will be immortalized by existing in liked section on spotify.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

5/5

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

3/5

Not bad, not for me

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

This shit whimsical as fuck

Bad

Michael Jackson

5/5

Quincy Jones doesn’t get enough credit, maybe he does and I run in the wrong circles. But, hard to believe MJ’s work comes together quite as well without a true mastermind doing the mixing.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

2/5

Not for me

Station To Station

David Bowie
