Fenomenal album. I love how genuine it is.

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

Comments: My enjoyment started strong, went down, up again then lastly down. However I love how much early 2000s it sounds. First Listen?: Y Favourite Tracks: Words, Friday's Dust, Pounding Rating: Sine wave/5

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

Liquid Swords

GZA

2/5

I enjoy modern hip-hop but I'm not really into this decade's rap. I respect the great storytelling and craftsmanship of this album but it's just not my thing unfortunately. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Shadowboxin' Rating: 2/5

Kid A

Radiohead

5/5

Team Kid A forever (OK Computer stans can blow me btw). This record is paranoia, isolation and loneliness made into music and I love it. First Listen?: N Fav. Tracks: Everything in Its Right Place, How to Disappear Completely, Optimistic, Idioteque Rating: 5/5

Achtung Baby

2/5

It was ok. I might revisit in the future but for now it was enjoyable. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Until the End of the World, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horse Rating: 2.4/5

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Decent 90s trip hop. I must say I enjoyed my way through despite the cringy lyrics since the beats are very catchy. Definitely better in the first half tho. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Walking Wounded, Flipside Rating: 2.8/5

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

Enjoyable, nothing much to say. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: The Mountain, Tuang Guru, Manenber Revisited Rating: 2.8/5

Drunk

Thundercat

3/5

This record is like going to Disneyland on drugs. You do it once and never again, very enjoyable tho. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Captain Stupido, Walk On By, Them Changes Rating: 3/5

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

It is the 9th of September 2022 today, literally the day after the Queen's death, the RNG gods are having a laugh. Now for the review: although Morrisey is a questionable character (at best) the art needs to be detached from the artist and this record just flows perfectly. I enjoyed every second of it. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: The Queen Is Dead, Bigmouth Strikes Again, There Is a Light That Never Goes Out Rating: 4.5/5

Darklands

The Jesus And Mary Chain

3/5

Not bad, in fact very enjoyable. Never really listened to TJAMC, I might revisit them in the future. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Deep One Perfect Morning, Happy When It Rains, April Skies Rating: 3.3/5

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

I feel 60/70s folk is a hit or miss with me, this one is a miss unfortunately. Tho I appreciate the melodies greatly. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Raised on Robbery Rating: 2/5

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

2/5

An ok ambient record, nothing much to say. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: 1/1 Rating: 2/5

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Undoubtedly one of the best indie folk debut albums ever created. It was the perfect storm for a well deserved success in the late 2000s. A very pleasant revisit. First Listen?: N Fav. Tracks: White Winter Hymnal, He Doesn't Know Why, Your Protector Rating: 4.5/5

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

The first half is hard and fast, the second more raw and bluesy, the first one definitely carries the whole record for me. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Down on The Streets, T.V. Eye, Dirt Rating: 3.8/5

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

2/5

Not my thing unfortunately. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): Hate to Say I Told You Rating: 1.7/5

3/5

Very soothing. Probably gonna dig more into the artist. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Staràlfur Rating: 3/5

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

I didn't expect to enjoy it this much. Masterfully crafted, it's not often that an album can carry 20 tracks so well. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Sara, Storms, I Know I'm Not Wrong Rating: 4.4/5

Play

Moby

2/5

Tracks listed below are cool but the rest is kinda boring and basic. First Listen?: Y Fav. Tracks: Honey, Bodyrock, Natural Blues Rating: 2.5/5

Station To Station

David Bowie

Palo Congo

Sabu

2/5

This fucking website made me listen to religious African music. But when I think about it I ironically enjoyed my catholic church's songs about Jesus so I guess I can ironically enjoy this one too. First Listen?: Y (no shit) Fav. Track(s): the one with the congas Rating: 2/5

4/5

Never got into Arcade Fire but this album might be the exception. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), Wake Up Rating: 3.7/5

1/5

I liked the one with the congas better. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): - Rating: 1/5

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

3/5

Enjoyed way more than expected initially but I have to say: this record is totally a gamble. Some songs are good but some others are real stinkers. It certainly starts strong but falters later. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): A Sight To Behold, Will Is My Friend, This Beard Is For Siobhan Rating: 3/5

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

2/5

A good album without a doubt, just not my thing. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): Connection Rating: 2/5

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

One of the most solid 3s up to now. It's actually a very good album and I like the sound of it. It's just a little forgettable. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): Novocaine For The Soul, Susan's House Rating: 3/5

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

Kinda meh. tuned out at the halfway point. First Listen?: Y Fav. Track(s): --- Rating: 2/5
