Risque by CHIC

Good Disco album can hear where the samples have been taken for other tracks

Is This It by The Strokes

One of the best

Risque by CHIC
May 09 2021

Good Disco album can hear where the samples have been taken for other tracks

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
May 10 2021

Good mix of rock, blues and jazz few songs missed the mark on the album but overall decent

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
May 11 2021

Think this album was released 20 years too late, can understand why they were released from their contract due to poor album sales. In a decade of some pretty outrageous tunes, these fail to get going. But if you’d have put them in the 70’s alongside the likes of pink floyd, we’d probably be wearing emperor tomato ketchup t-shirts and talking about how brave the albums were. Overall probably wouldn’t listen again as music that sounds like I’ve dropped acid in a boulangerie is not my go to 4-5/10

Berlin by Lou Reed
May 12 2021

What’s not to like about Lou Reed. As an album it dances between big band rock and roll and ballad style blues, which fits pretty much perfectly with the themes of drug addiction and abuse that run through the album.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
May 13 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed. Born under a bad sign is my favourite off the album.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
May 14 2021

Enjoyed his voice and some of the more lyrically uneasy songs such as gods song. Arguably though Randys best work is in film

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
May 15 2021

Not a bad album, not one I’d revisit readily, can see how they’ve influenced other bands such as Stornaway from the 00’s. It’s 3 star at best.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 16 2021

Proper escapism music, feels like you’re in a different world listening to it. Would I put it on at a party though, unlikely. I can appreciate the instruments, sounds and vocals but it’s probably a 1 listen album.

Hms Fable by Shack
May 18 2021

Like a folksy oasis, not amazing not awful

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 19 2021

Moody punk rock, can’t really go wrong.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
May 20 2021

Some pretty decent songs on this, like a slightly less trippy Jefferson airplane. Can hear a similar anti war, new era lyricism as well. Enjoyed!

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 21 2021

Bit much for me this, don’t really go in for whiny vocals 1-2 stars (didn’t finish it)

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
May 22 2021

Pretty middle of the road stuff musically, lyrically I really enjoyed this album.

Destroyer by KISS
May 24 2021

What’s not to enjoy about KISS

The Clash by The Clash
May 25 2021

Great album

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
May 26 2021

Probably won’t revisit

Dummy by Portishead
May 27 2021

Solid album

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
May 29 2021

Middle of the road 80’s

Garbage by Garbage
May 30 2021

Ok nothing spectacular

Blur by Blur
Jun 03 2021

Great album

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jun 04 2021

I think if I hadn’t sliced my thumb accidentally with a wood saw today I’d have given this more time. But at 1:30 am in some serious pain and not being able to sleep I put track 1 on, 5 seconds later I turned it off

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 05 2021

Not my favourite Madonna tracks

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 08 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jun 10 2021

Not bad, but probably wouldn’t listen again

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jun 13 2021

Pretty intense lyrically, but some good songs

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 16 2021

Just top notch jazz

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 17 2021

One of the best

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 18 2021

Enjoyed, but think the lead guitarist thinks he’s better than he actually is.

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 22 2021

Not bad

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 23 2021

Just a shame Bono is the way he is

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 28 2021
Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jun 29 2021

Was alright just not my jam

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 02 2021

Sounds far too good to be live… but if it is incredible

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jul 07 2021

Enjoyed but never moves past it’s first sound. A hugely influential album however, and still very good

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jul 08 2021

Mad that someone as talented as Kate bush could make a crock of shit like this.
