Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Sounded very 'world music'- a bit samey but nice.

Dust

Screaming Trees

4/5

Really loads better than expected, thought it would be Pearl Jam sequence moaning but really enjoyable.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

Loved this, what a voice, so much going on. Really snoozed on it at he time.

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

Although quite samey (chorus = repeat the same line louder and louder until shout reached) this is great. V familiar but much funkier than I remembered. Mad to think it's very clear about their politics 30 years ago and still people don't get it.

Tapestry

Carole King

2/5

Eeeggghh... not a fan. Maybe just not my thing, but it just made me think of cheesy US sitcom themes. Maybe need to read up on CK, but I just didn't see what the big deal was.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

Too much sax but what singles. Head over Heels!

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Lovely. Shit cover though.

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables

Dead Kennedys

5/5

Love this, though took a while to get used to JB voice again.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Remembered this a lot more than I thought I would. Compared to what Green Day end up as this is still really enjoyable. Deep as a puddle.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

3/5

A bit of a tell of when the book was released. Really? Good album though. Could do with pre-album release BANG on here

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Sounds like it's sung by the Fake Rod Hull. Just can't get into shrieky dumbo rock.

Live At Leeds

The Who

1/5

Absolute cauldron of shit. I thought this was meant to be some seminal live album, but the only redeeming feature is I wasn't standing in the audience having my tits bored off in real life.

Here, My Dear

Marvin Gaye

4/5

Big divorced energy.

The Cars

3/5

Bit too much Queen in there, but definite power pop roots of Weezer.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

4/5

The kids especially liked this one. Hardest working man in showbusiness

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

4/5

A really fragile thing, genuinely a good listen. Would get an extra 1/2 star for having The Vaselines if half stars were allowed in this hellscape dictatorship.

Garbage

3/5

Upon fresher listening, it seems that STUPID GIRL is just about a girl that Garbage think is stupid and there's not much more going on than that. 3 stars.

Eagles

3/5

Listened in the car. I bet it sounds worse if you're not moving. Cokey and not unpleasant.

Future Days

Can

4/5

Great stuff. Felt like a ghostly funk in places.

Technique

New Order

4/5

Always nice to listen to New Order. Barney Sumner's voice is just flat and crap and beautiful.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

5/5

Trying not to cliche all over the place, but it always makes me feel sad listening to Nick Drake. Very evocative of a specific time and place.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Long. Angry!

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

4/5

Brel-liant. More obsessed with horses than I remember.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

4/5

If I was Jewish my name would be Jared If I was Muslim my name would be Ibrahim If I was Catholic, my name would be... CHRIS! Loved this, never heard of it before.

Merriweather Post Pavilion

Animal Collective

4/5

I think I liked this more after finding out a bit about it, but put me in mind of a jumble sale Tomorrow Never Knows for a whole album.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Exactly what it sounds like.

The xx

2/5

Bang average.

Here Come The Warm Jets
