Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

I mean. What can I say? This is an album I've listened to too many times to count. It's just perfectly moody, or at least it was for my teenage years. This album alone managed to influence music to this day, and you can really tell while listening to it. Ian Curtis voice is also perfect for what it does. Just a perfect album, would listen again and again and again and again.

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

Meh. It has some great songs, but generally sounds uninteresting. Maybe it's here for its lyrics or because it was actually unique when it came out, but for a new listener in 2021 it just sounds like many other albums we have already heard.

B-52's

The B-52's

4/5

This was surprisingly good. The album can't really escape the decade it was made in, so it sounds a little bit dated, but even then this is way more original than many albums coming out today. The songs are fun, kind of psychodelic at times and in general really good. Saving it to my list to listen more another day.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

I had heard this one before but never payed too much attention to it. That was a mistake. Album sounds exceptional, it has a style that can pretty much only be found here, and that is quite something on itslef. It feels like one of those albums you can get really invested on and listen over and over again. Definetely worth.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Pretty good. I don't have the mental energy right now to do a proper review. But this is a good one, you'll have to trust me.

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

4/5

I was about to write a review about how good this sounds by itself but how much it is elevated by the singers performance. Then I realized its Björk so yeah that's suddenly incredibly obvious. This a good one

Sound Affects

The Jam
