Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jan 07 2022

My “first” Dylan album, and still my favourite. There are, of course, better individual tracks throughout his career, but as a group, these work best. Something different about the sound that is not captured elsewhere

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jan 08 2022

The Dan are an oddity. I shouldn’t like them, but I kind of do! Good album; not my favourite though

Jan 09 2022

I’m not a fan. Not my go to choice music but gave it a chance to listen through. I found the vocals and voice had to listen to, and whilst musically there certainly were high points, there were too many low one for me. Can see why it may be popular though.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 10 2022

Blimey! Not sure how I’ve missed this. Yes, enjoyed the album; possibly not my go to style, but good none the less. Listen to “the music” generally, so need to review again to big a bit deeper. Which I will do. No frame of reference for rating, but 4*

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 11 2022

A lot has been said about how good early REM is - and I do agree, there is a lot of good work in their catalogue. But, this album actually disappoints on first listen. Yes, the opening track "Radio Free Europe" is a major standout, but to me, the rest feel weak by comparison. There doesn't seem much to meet the album start, and it dwindles into a mix of jangly indie pop. OK, so there is lot to like, and you can see the genesis of what they were to become, but needs more time, and perhaps the right time, to appreciate. 3* on first listen

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 04 2022
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 24 2022
Mar 07 2022

I found this quite a poor album. I tried to like it, but it felt a bit forced; more like a covers band, or a band trying to create something from “10 years ago”. And failing.

Marquee Moon by Television

Never saw the appeal. It's ok, but not groundbreaking. Perhaps I should have been there!

Started ok. Fell away. Not my bag really

Grrrrrrrrrrrreat!

Microshift by Hookworms
Apr 07 2024

It's ok. Gets a bit repetitive. Possibly more of a 3.5, but not a 4

Jul 18 2025

Five starts for the original album. The additional tracks added to the album do not quite reach that standard, so would lose half a star for that!
