The Stooges
5/5
Contains some of the worst lyrics commited to vinyl and is in desperate need of a re-mastering but I do not give af. This is a thrilling, exciting masterpiece. Raw Power indeed

Absolutely elctricifying album. Loved the driving bass and viscerally sneering vocals.

The Yardbirds
2/5
Wanted to like it, but tbh it just faded into the background despite repeated listens. Nice enough, but no overall standout tracks.
Christine and the Queens
4/5
Think I love this. Didn't realise this was who "Girlfriend" came from. Sophisticated pop.
Slint
5/5
So good. Early post-rock, vocally reminiscent of the LOUD-quiet-LOUD technique of The Pixes. Lyrically dark, touching on depression, alienation and abandonment. Hard to pick standouts, but loved Breadcrumb Trail; Don, Aman; and Good Morning, Captain. Breathtaking album that spawned a thousand others.
Spiritualized
4/5
An old favourite I still regularly listen to, the arrangements for strings and choir elevate this album beyond Jason Pierce’s previous work with Spaceman 3 and the earlier Spiritualized albums. Hard to be objective about this album as it informed/(s) so much of my musical taste, but I particularly love the repeating bass refrain on “I think I’m in love”, the juxtaposition of the lost, plaintive lyrics on “All of My thoughts” against the chaos of the music, the emotive use strings on “Broken Heart” and the tentative steps towards acceptance and even hope on “Cool Waves”.
Neil Young
2/5
I struggled with this album, despite multiple listens. It's hard to separate this from Neil's other solo work, against which it stacks up poorly. Some standout tracks, like Revolution Blues or title track On The Beech have the scale I remember from Harvest, but others, like See the Sky About to Rain, sound like a airport-hotel lounge-act going through the motions.
Booker T. & The MG's
1/5
Elevator music. The original elevator music, but still elevator music.
Peter Tosh
2/5
Sub-par reggae
Missy Elliott
3/5
Strong start, Gossip Folks had some absolutely filthy beats, but faded towards the end. Whilst good to hear a woman's voice against the background of pervasive misogyny in hip hop, the album wasn't as strong as I'd hoped.
Led Zeppelin
3/5
First time listening to any Led Zeplin albums and the opening tracks were more British blues rock than I was expecting. Dazed and Confused, and Communication Breakdown were on the heavier end and better for it. Interesting first album, with some great vocals and guitar, but not the revolution I thought it might be. Looking forward to their later albums
Thin Lizzy
2/5
I really dislike "live" albums. They never properly capture the gig experience but sound way crappier than a studio album.
Brian Eno
4/5
Hauntingly beautiful. Austere yet warmly human.

Pink Floyd

Prince
4/5
Some great tracks on here like "Sign O the Times" and 'I could never take the place of your man". I think perhaps the album is over long, and some of the production is a bit off but a corker nonetheless.
Bob Dylan
5/5
A poet and musician. Amazing album by one of the greats.
The Rolling Stones
5/5
Stones going back to their bluesy roots. Loved the obvious singles and Jigsaw is fantastic.
Elbow
4/5
By turns casually exuberant to beautiful melancholy to majestic, musically this album soars. Guy Garvey’s mellifluous vocals and the wryly observed humanity of the lyrics link the songs back into the familiar. The two together create something quite special, with intimate, relatable songs underscored by emotionally fulfilling music. Superb.
The Jesus And Mary Chain

Sounds very dated now, but enjoyed this album. Hard Times is a classic, Rock Box signposts their later famous collaboration, and It's Like That is just great.
Violent Femmes
3/5
Really enjoyed this. Some tracks very reminiscent of Talking Heads.
The Notorious B.I.G.
4/5
The beats, flow and storytelling on this are exceptional. The misogyny and puerile attitude to sex is a little harder to swallow, if not particularly unexpected. Loved the flow on Gimme The Loot, the guest vocal by Method Man on The What and the honesty on Suicidal Thoughts.

Not a huge fan of West coast pop punk, but this was a fun album
Badly Drawn Boy
4/5
Alt-folk? Baroque pop? Who knows. Love this album; it’s full of sweetly light tracks offset by more urgent ones, darker in tone. Varied in arrangement and accompaniment, all 18 tracks hold the attention and showcase Damon Gough’s talent as composer and multi-instrumentalist. Completed, the album sits fully as a single statement, testament to the value of the long play format.
Grizzly Bear
4/5
Really enjoyed this, can't believe I missed it when it came out.
Moby
1/5
The soundtrack to a thousand tedious dinner parties. "More flan Miriam?"
Roxy Music
2/5
Bit of a mixed bag this album, with only some tracks, e.g. Thrill Of It All and Out Of The Blue, hitting the feeling of corrupted glamour I was expecting. Most of the rest of the album was less interesting and missed something to temper the baroque excess.

I've never been angry at a record just for existing before, yet here we are. This is a album so banal it's offensive. One star because I can't give zero.

Great album, with a really lovely energy
Beck
4/5
Beck you big beautiful weirdo. Musically and tonally quite varied, this sets out the palate for much of his later work, albeit perhaps with less focus on any one particular style that occurs in subsequent records. It's a really enjoyable listen that never quite settles, keeping it continually interesting.

Kendrick Lamar
4/5
This is an album in the truest sense. Lyrically, it tells a story, pivoting from the tired, misogynistic cliches in the opening couple of tracks to discussing the structural problems with hip hop culture, to alcoholism , and to personal growth against the backdrop of growing up in Compton. Powerful stuff.

Bruce Springsteen
5/5
Perfect album? Bruce's song writing on this album is exceptional, with small-town, everyman vignettes set to an acoustic performance so vulnerable it's heartbreaking. The production creates a sound that's deeply intimate, like sitting up front, listening to the last performance of the night in a 2 am-empty bar. Amazing work.

As an album, this is a rambling, incoherent mess, desperately searching for a stronger producer. This feels like a brief, misguided staging post between Sgt Peppers and Abbey Road.
It is self-indulgent almost to the point of parody, gropingly unsure of what it wants to be, yet at the same time contains some of the greatest individual tracks ever recorded.
If we’re reviewing “albums”, then this is an album in the same way a “Best of…” compilation is an album; a nice collection of singles and deeper cuts, but barely registering as singular piece of work in its own right.
Songs on it; 5/5. As an album; 1/5.

2/5
A common theme in the 1001 albums is that the writer tends to pick from a band's later albums, choosing one where they've had time to hone their craft and knock off the rough edges. This album is an excellent case in point; whilst it's more accomplished and polished than their earlier stuff, it's lost the urgency and energy. Less southern garage rock, more stadium-friendly big production.
Their first couple of albums are 3s or maybe 3.5s. This one is so much less interesting.

As much as I love Rock Goddess era PJ Harvey, the confident strangness of her later work is just glorious.

Bleep, bloop, blancmange. Enjoyable ephemera, lingering barely longer than it takes to hit Next.

What a pleasant surprise! With a name like Cowboy Junkies I was expecting yet another another variation of old white dude rock, but instead got something this gorgeous thing. Beautiful record, beautiful recording.

Coldplay
1/5
The love for Coldplay on this site is fucking WILD. This is bland muzak for people who found David Gray a bit too edgy.
So lacking in character I can't feel enough feelings to hate it. The argon of the pop world.
Adele

Amazing voice, some beautiful songs, gets a bit meh away from the hits
