Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 19 2022

Dull. Boring. Did not like AT ALL. all the songs sound alike, in fact they sound like 1990s teenage boy music desire being a 2006 album. Vocals were dreadful, music was a drone.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Aug 22 2022

Very interesting soundscape, more a special effects album than a music album but interesting to listen to

Back In Black by AC/DC
Aug 23 2022

Definitely one of the classic, definitive rock albums of all time. If aliens days "what is this rock of which you speak" (because they talk like that), play them this

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Aug 24 2022

Samey. Unpleasant to listen to, the up tempo version of a discordant noise. It drones whilst smiling at you

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 25 2022

My least disliked Beatles album. Has the best line of any Album though: she keeps her face in a jar by the door

Cross by Justice
Aug 26 2022

Perfectly listenable, editor for the two tracks with singing/pointless squealing. Acceptable background noise and I can see why it is a good example of it's genre

The Cars by The Cars
Aug 29 2022

Annoyingly upbeat regardless of the sings theme. Lacks lyrics

Parklife by Blur
Aug 30 2022

Sounds the same now as it did when it came out - like a teenage boy complaining about tidying his bedroom. The musical equivalent of Kevin & Perry. The music is ok, the vocals are a discomfort I don't want to suffer

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Aug 31 2022

Some say it was their best album ever, NME says it was the worst. I'm team NME. Its iconic, adequately sums up a point in time - but it's not a classic

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Sep 01 2022

Sounds like the Disney version of works music, but I feel better towards it

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 02 2022

A "comfortable listening" example of it's genre

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Sep 06 2022

Sounds like pop, but then I need to remember to time travel to when it came out... Before alternative existed and that this was at the birth of alt pop

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 09 2022

Fantastic voice, awesome control. Lovely guitar. Really enjoyed listening

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Despite the dreadful vocal affectation it's a great album with wonderful lyrics ...at one point it affectively says "if you think my singing is bad you should hear my piano playing"

evermore by Taylor Swift
Sep 13 2022

Aurally I just didn't like it. Whiny. Champagne in particular was dreadful. Sounded very much like a 14 year old with some serious natural talent, but isn't ready yet and needs better advice. Music is nice though, better without the lyrics

21 by Adele
Sep 19 2022

Enjoyed listening, but lyrics are a bit "teenage heartbreak" to listen to often

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Sep 20 2022

Shouty. Drummer seens like that are referred above anyone else in the band so that won't mix in nicely.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Sep 23 2022

Jangly. Repetitive. Showcasing

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Sep 26 2022

Couldn't find this album anywhere to listen to

Boston by Boston
Sep 27 2022

Contains the most Boston song ever, no wonder the Album babe is basically Boston squared. Pleasant background AOR

Sheet Music by 10cc
Sep 28 2022

Not lyricists are they? Music is good, I can see why it has lasted

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Oct 21 2022

I don't like the alter ego vocals, but otherwise great album musucally
