Songs Of Love And Hate
Leonard Cohen
This is one of those albums that you have to be in the mood to listen too. Like on a comedown or when you’re feeling low. Today wasn’t one of those days so whilst it’s a great album, it’s only 3 stars today

Gangsta at its best, only play this to your granny if she’s hard of hearing as the expletives roll out every few seconds.
Classic!

Don’t believe the hype.
Disappointed. Heard this was a modern classic, a piece of genius that has influence so many. Pretty average and garbage in places. Won’t be listening again.
An embarrassment to hip hop

Brilliant! An album that takes you on a bluesy, psychedelic journey of riffs and distortion. Some
Classic choons and some of Hendrix’s biggest and best known. Sadly didn’t have to time listen to all of it so a second run is welcome

Manic Street Preachers
Yeah, it was ok. Some banging choons individually to be fair but as an album I thought it was all a bit samey. Not one I’d be reaching for too regularly but would give the odd song a listen.

Classic 80s pop! Some brilliant choons, reminds a of my big brother and people who I’ve come to know living in my adopted city of Sheffield.
Great bass lines, quality synth and some really sublime vocals from Martin Fry.
Excellent.

Quite liked the choons and musical arrangements, some great solos and well put together but I felt like he was constantly singing using auto-choon which spoiled it for me. Like a male version of Cher

Not really enjoying this. Disappointed. Thought it would be a blinder, but average at best. Lou Reed sounds bored mist of the time. Some half decent choons but generally pretty dull and body

Ok. Always thought Pulp were overrated TBH, which is a bit controversial when you live in Sheffield but they only had a couple of good tracks really. The rest got on my nerves a bit.
