Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain

Very good, and clearly very influential, sometimes a bit much on the ears though.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 14 2021

Nice vibes, but only a couple of stand-out songs.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
May 15 2021

Mess of genres that doesn't really work at all for me. Couple of decent songs.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 16 2021

Far more weird and interesting than I expected. Very cohesive and excellent flow to the whole thing.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
May 17 2021

Excellent, but I wouldn't find myself listening through the album start to finish, except as background music.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
May 18 2021

Not really a genre suited to album listening. Overly long and repetitive tracks (and irritating vocal samples), plus none of the bangers they had on some of their later albums.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
May 19 2021

Couple of points I did enjoy, but on the whole there are some far more interesting punk records out there

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
May 20 2021

Very mixed bag, some parts feeling like 5/5, and others genuinely 1/5.

Blackstar by David Bowie
May 21 2021

Not always the easiest of listens, but fantastic all the same.

May 22 2021

Decent instrumentals, but like a lot of the rap from this era, it feels incredibly dated now.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
May 23 2021

I can respect it, but most of it just isn't for me.

May 24 2021

Musically fairly impressive but not particularly memorable. Title track is a bit more interesting with the folk influences going on.

All Directions by The Temptations
May 25 2021

Slows down quite a lot in the middle, but otherwise very good.

May 27 2021

Not bad, but I was surprised how bored I was by a lot of this album.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 28 2021

Very good, and clearly very influential, sometimes a bit much on the ears though.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
May 29 2021

Kinda nice, but I just don't think Bossa Nova is for me.

Copper Blue by Sugar
May 30 2021

Pretty generic 90s alt rock. Musicianship not too bad, but songs sound quite samey, and the singing is truly, truly awful.

Pump by Aerosmith
Jun 01 2021

This era of rock really hasn't aged well. Mostly sounds like a parody of itself, and isn't nearly fun enough to make up for its lack of quality.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jun 03 2021

Very good 90s alt-rock, a pleasant surprise.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 04 2021

Very conflicted on this. Thought I would enjoy it more than I did, gets a 4 mostly for being more musically/technically impressive than a lot of albums.

Faith by George Michael
Jun 05 2021

A couple of good points, weighed down by oh so much late-80s nonsense.
