5/5

One of my favourite Taylor Swift albums. I like the high tempo start and the slower finish.

All Ratings

The Clash

2/5

Very shouty, typical Clash - not for me - 2/5

Urban Hymns

The Verve

5/5

Starts off very strong with Bittersweet Symphony. Gets a little calmer with Sonnet, then picks it up again with The Rolling People. Follows the same general up-down trend throughout the album which leads to something greater than a sum of it's parts, pushing it to a 5/5.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

Very 80's. Seemed to improve as the album went on

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

NEU! 75

Neu!

2/5

Interesting sounds at the start of the album, like a film sound track or opening credits on a TV show. Diverts from this as the album goes on, not for me.

Abraxas

Santana

3/5

Very guitar heavy. Stand out song was Black Magic Woman.

Fun House

The Stooges

3/5

The Real Thing

Faith No More

5/5

Starts off very strongly with "From out of Nowhere" and "Epic", gets a little softer in the middle section but then ends with an amazing cover of "War Pigs".

Bummed

Happy Mondays

2/5

Most songs seemed to blend together

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Very easy listening. Stand out track is the title track.

Some classic singles on this album. Great start with 'Take on Me' and a great finish with 'Here I Stand and Face the Rain'.

Not for me

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

3/5

Never really listened to Tina Turner before but I enjoyed this album. Highlight for me was Private Dancer.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

I can appreciate the significance of Joy Division, but this album wasn't for me. It blended together and didn't really have anything that stood out for me.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Dr. Octagon

4/5

Before listening to this album I hadn't heard of Dr. Octagon before, but this has made me interested in listening to more of Kool Keith's personas. I enjoyed the overall theme of the album, although I can't pick a stand-out song.

Garbage

3/5

Mostly enjoyed the album but had heard enough by about halfway through

Jack Takes the Floor

Ramblin' Jack Elliott

3/5

Enjoyed the start of the album but some songs were questionable towards the end.

The ArchAndroid

4/5

Enjoyed the mix of classical with r&b.
