My 1001 Albums Journey

Blondie

4/5

It grew on me by the end. Definitely will give it more listens. Of course I thought One way or another, and Heart of glass were already bangers.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

1/5

Ufff not my cuppa. Couldn't finish it

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Easy listening. Nothing stood out but I enjoyed it

1989

Taylor Swift

1/5

Seriously? I made it through 2/3 of the way. The lyrics are laughable and the music boring at best, and grating at worst.

Channel Orange

Frank Ocean

1/5

Just boring. It took me about 1 minute per each track to be sick of it.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

Whiny is the best way to describe this

It's alright, nothing more

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

1/5

DNF, it starts off alright with the instrumentals, then the vocal come in and they're grating and repetitive, then you notice the music won't change for the entirety of the song and you wonder what's the point

Fuzzy Logic

Super Furry Animals

1/5

Borefest

Cut

The Slits

Bitte Orca

Such few contemporary albums and this is what they choose?

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

2/5

Not sure how to rate this, on the one hand I gave this album so many tries years ago because I think both The Light, and The 6th Sense are 10/10 songs. And I still listen to them to this day, but I've deleted all other songs from this album. Giving them a re-listen now I don't think I would reconsider downloading them again. So no, as an album I don't think this deserves to be here.

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Fine-ish, always thought of Coldplay as a singles band. Nothing but Yellow stands oit
