Hadestown

Anaïs Mitchell

2/5

Just too nice and not interesting

The Shape Of Punk To Come

Refused

5/5

It may have failed on release but this is one of those albums that spread’s influence far and wide. A 10/10 classic

Contra

Vampire Weekend

3/5

As someone who is an indie music enjoyer the hype on this was massive and I just never got it. It has some interesting hooks and melodies but I never felt it was a good and cohesive as everyone said.

Continuum

John Mayer

3/5

I have never understood why he is lionised as some sort of guitar genius. He’s good but the songs all blend together and nothing grabs me

Has A Good Home

Final Fantasy

4/5

Never heard of this guy and I live in the town he grew up in! Interesting work I enjoyed it but I don’t feel drawn to listen again

Don't Throw Stones

THE SPORTS

4/5

Hadn’t heard this and somehow knew they were Australian. Fun listen

Frengers: Not Quite Friends But Not Quite Strangers

Mew

4/5

Danish and alternative rock sounds like it doesn’t belong in the same sentence but this was great. So far the people who have added albums have done a much better job than the actual official list!

Please Don't Take Me Back

Martha

4/5

Obscure and British are 2 things I typically love and there is a lot to love with this!

Squeezing Out Sparks

Graham Parker

4/5

Reminded me of elvis Costello

Millennium

Backstreet Boys

3/5

I saw this and thought ffs who put a joke album in this list. But how wrong I was, annoyingly great songs, a little over produced but I guess that’s the genre 3.5 as the back half drags a little

Real Life

Joan As Police Woman

4/5

I was entranced by her vocals, the music was good and I will delve into this artist’s catalog

Oncle Jazz

Men I Trust

3/5

It’s ok, nice vibe singer has a good voice but didnt inspire me to check out more of their work or re listen

4/5

I have heard of ween but mostly as a joke band but this was great!

Thunder And Consolation

New Model Army

4/5

I’m pretty sure I had this on cassette tape given to me by an Aunt

Suzuki

Tosca

4/5

Almost triphop like. I was in the mood for an album like this so the timing was impeccable

GUTS

Olivia Rodrigo

4/5

Being a man in my 40s seeing this made me think I would be listening to some generic pop crap, but I was wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this

Pony Express Record

Shudder To Think

3/5

On paper this should appeal to me, I’m a GenXer into rock, punk, post hardcore but this just doesn’t quite land right for me. It has some good parts but the whole feels lacking. I will re listen but my hopes aren’t high

Daisies Of The Galaxy

Eels

3/5

Nuyorican Soul

4/5

Freestylers

2/5

Too long would have been a solid 3/5 but jus keeps going

Crystal Castles

3/5

Nonagon Infinity

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard

5/5

One of the great albums they have produced. The best thing about them is if you don’t like this one wait until the next one as they are ridiculously prolific and not tied to any particular genre

Foxes in the Snow

Jason Isbell

3/5

Pop

GAS

3/5

Come And Get It

Rachel Stevens

3/5

I thought this was a joke addition but it is pretty catchy pop and it’s fun. I will never listen to it again though!!

In Between Dreams

Jack Johnson

1/5

I went backpacking around the world in 2005/6 and this album was played everywhere and all the worst people I met were always talking about how this was “real music made by a real musician” I always thought it was shit
