Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

Great album upto and including "get it together". After that song, not so much. It meanders on a bit. 5 stars first half 1 star second half

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

Great artist, great album. Must hear if you're a blues lover. But really one everyone should listen. Starts off with THE definitive blues track and goes on from there.

I find it a very boring album. I couldn't compel myself to finish listening.

Madman Across The Water

Elton John

1/5

Nice songs, great singer but overall not really my cup of tea

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Liked the previous Metallica albums more, because I'm more of a trash metal fan, but certainly a couple of great songs on this album

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Vaguely heard of this band, never heard a song before. Very intriguing music, especially for the time. Some songs are much better than others, liked the very first song the most. Overall an interesting album. That first song is really really really good!

For Your Pleasure

Roxy Music

4/5

Nice album, easy to listen to songs. Bit short, but that's the norm for that time period.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

5/5

Awesome album!

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great, iconic album.

Make Yourself

Incubus

3/5

Not really into incubus, decent album though. Couple of nice songs but also some really meandering ones.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

5/5

Kate Bush is my guilty pleasure, however just based on her hits. Never took the time to listen to albums let alone this one. The album is great, the songs really flow together with the indistinguishable voice of Kate of course.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

5/5

Great artist, great album. Must hear if you're a blues lover. But really one everyone should listen. Starts off with THE definitive blues track and goes on from there.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

1/5

Not really my cup of tea. I don't find the songs to be anything special

Pills 'n' Thrills And Bellyaches

Happy Mondays

3/5

Abbey Road

Beatles

1/5

I find it a very boring album. I couldn't compel myself to finish listening.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Spotify couldn't play this album for me, glanced over it on YouTube but what the hell was this supposed to be?? Terrible, messy and just plain grating to listen to.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

5/5

What a great album, so many good songs, so many hits. Very enjoyable to listen too.

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

What a nice album, never extensively listened to Coltrane, but this was excellent. Really smooth.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

1/5

I don't like this music genre at all and this album is pretty exemplary for that genre.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

3/5

For me a typical britpop record, some uptempo songs which are nice and some whiney ballads. I like other blur albums better

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

1/5

I don't like this album at all. Country music is not my genre and while I can appreciate the vocal quality of Gillian something about her voice or tone of voice just doesn't click for me making this a double negative.

Soul Mining

The The

4/5

Never heard of the band before. The type of music is right down my alley, I really like 80's synthpop and this album is a nice example of the genre. Outspoken basslines and off course the synth. Easy to listen to and very enjoyable.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Nice album, decent songs, nothing spectacular. Just fine.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

5/5

Great album, great singer, great songs.

Paul Simon

3/5

I really don't like music played with an acoustic guitar and this is a very exemplary record of that kind of music. It's not bad, after all it's Paul Simon, but not really my cup of tea. The blues tracks on the album, sonically, sound pretty good, but Paul's voice just isn't fit for blues, at least not for my ears. So yeah it's fine, but not really for me

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5
