Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

A classic, but some of these songs go on a bit long. I like Clapton but there's a bit too much noodling for me at certain points

The Real Thing

Faith No More

5/5

I loved the punch this album had. Each song was different, Epic is still a banger but then right after you have Falling to Pieces which sounds like its out of a thrash band. The vocals are what keeps everything tied together and feeling like a band, but I loved this album.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

Yeah, I mean this definitely feels like its from the 2000s. I can see how this influenced music, but the sound is almost too nostalgic for my tastes now. Probably because I didn't grow up listening to it, so I don't have the connection

It's okay, I mean it sounds like that era of music. Some good songs like Waterloo Sunset and Lazy Old Sun

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

1/5

What is this? Why is this? It's so confusing and so expansive across music styles. It sounds like video game soundtrack music sometimes

So this led me to the album before this from the Cure which I liked more, but I thought the cure sad tones really come through here

A classic, but some of these songs go on a bit long. I like Clapton but there's a bit too much noodling for me at certain points

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

The horns are ridiculous. It sounds like Donkey Kong level music. But it also has funky upstroke guitar.

Homework

Daft Punk

5/5

Love daft punk

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

The funny bird was nice, added it to a playlist, but I just couldn't gel with this album

Fela Kuti

2/5

It was alright, not for me

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

What a fantastic album. Loved it

Liege And Lief

2/5

This is for someone, but not for me.

Berlin

Lou Reed

3/5

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

So it's got that one classic song on it. I was surprised that this came out in 90. It definitely seems older. It's not exactly for me, but its all over the place.

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

I don't like this very much

It's A Shame About Ray

The Lemonheads

4/5

It's pretty good. I don't know, it's not my favorite. But I enjoyed the time we spent together.

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Front to back, an absolute banger of an album. I will be spinning this for many days to come!

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

4/5

This has some absolute classics on it, but its also got some cringe lyrics on some of these tracks at this point in 2021.

Moving Pictures

Rush

5/5

Absolute classic full of Rush hits. Sure, the lyrics are pretty ridiculous, and Geddy's vocal style are odd, but that's what makes Rush, Rush. Front to back classic good Rush. 5/5

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

I was surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this album!

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

I was surprised that this was their first album. Everything that seems to have come out in '69 was a total banger. Flailing Guitar, good flow, enjoyed it!

Aja

Steely Dan

4/5

Classic jams on here. It's yacht rock, but it's solid

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

4/5

Full of classic songs, but the really long Shine On you Crazy Diamond is just too much for me.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

5/5

I actually really enjoyed this

The La's

3/5

The album starts pretty strong with Son of a Gun into I can't sleep. There She Goes is a 90 movies classic bop.

Calenture

The Triffids

2/5

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

2/5

bland

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

I love the wild opening. Track 2 gives Doors vibes The bass on every single beat is pretty overkill in the middle of the album. The back end of the album picks up and I'm a fan of Interzone's punchiness

Odelay

Beck

3/5

There's some classics on here for sure. But I feel like I've tried listening to this a few times and its just faded into the background.

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

So I think the front half of the album starts off so strong with Come Together and Something, but then with Maxwell and Octopus it's a take back to older Beatles. The B side of this album is where things really shine. Here Comes the Sun gets us going, and I love the flow of one track into another at the end of the album

The Real Thing

Faith No More

5/5

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

Exciting debut album from the Monkeys, but it does have a problem of songs sounding very same-y throughout the entire album which holds it back a little bit.

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

I loved the title track, but the rest of the album was okay for me

Good Old Boys

Randy Newman

1/5

This seems like the album that Billy Joel wrote the song Piano Man for. They're all weird. Everything sounds like Toy Story

Real Life

Magazine

3/5

I love the punch of this album but it tails off around Motorcade
