Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

I've never really listened to Hendrix beyond what you hear in movies/pop culture/the few songs that get radio airtime. Almost every track feels like it's about 4 hours long, some interesting musical progression, but largely it feels like a product of its time, maybe it's the Seinfeld effect in that I've heard so much of what Hendrix influenced, that this now doesn't fit where it should in the history of rock/music. I can understand the love people have for this, but maybe it's beyond my smooth monkey brain.

Fragile

Yes

1/5

Feels like somewhere between 4 and 10 people randomly made noise and called it art. Did not enjoy at all.

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

I was pretty bored of the easy listening grunge this album presented, but it kicked into a more enjoyable tempo with Electioneering. oh no I spoke too soon easy listening grunge is back. The 2nd half of the album was more enjoyable than the first, maybe you just need to be in the right frame of mind for some of the softer spoken songs, but I think I prefer my anger to be a bit more upfront.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

3/5

Starts strong with a classic banger, but then sort of tappers into being very forgettable

Moondance

Van Morrison

3/5

Liked the title track, everything else was eh

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

It was fine.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Is it controversial to say Hendrix isn't a great singer even if his guitar slaps?

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Heroes is obviously an absolute classic banger, the rest of the songs were good, but the instrumental stuff lost me entirely.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

3/5

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Once in a Lifetime saves this album from mediocrity

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

2/5

Maybe when it was new it was more impressive, but the whole thing blurs into a generic mess for me.

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

2/5

Maybe it was unique at the time, but now it's just generic 80s

The Yes Album

Yes

1/5

Nope.

It was fine.

Heartbreaker

2/5

I got bored towards the end and stopped listening, maybe I missed out on greatness but I doubt it

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

2/5

That sure was a rolling stones album, I only just listened to it and I can't remember a single track, but it was fine while it was on.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

That sure was a beach boys album. Far too cheerful for me at the moment lol

4/5

Finally some good fucking music

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

3/5

Pretty enjoyable to listen to while listening, but now it's over I've already entirely forgotten it.

Come Find Yourself

Fun Lovin' Criminals

4/5

Scooby Snacks is a banger, the rest was fine, but I love that track so I'm giving a 4 anyway lol
