Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Outside of the 2 tophits it is a bit melodramatic. I still liked a few others like The Working Hour and Head over Heels/Broken, but some others were dreadfully boring. Overall pretty good album, I would buy it on a second hand market. 4/5

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

It sounds really dated. Though if you can listen past that, there are a couple of really good songs on it, I could not keep my attention to the full album however.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

4/5

I liked the vibe of the album. At some points it was a bit repetitive, but overall it was a really nice album with no real outliers

The Renaissance

Q-Tip

4/5

Good vibe, even though it is not my genre I liked it.

S&M

Metallica

5/5

It was a weird moment when I listened to this album. However the music was making things better. I liked the strings with the metal sound, it really was an addition

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

One of the best albums of them, every song on it is a banger

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

Magnifique album from front to back.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

2/5

Not my cup of tea. I really like Urban Hymns, but this one.. I am not convinced

Maxinquaye

Tricky

2/5

I can understand some people like it, but it's not for me. I feel like it is in the line of the Fugees and also Massive Attack, but than worse.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Very dated album with no surprises.

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Magnificent album, though not as consistent as some other Radiohead albums

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

2/5

Not my cup of tea

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

Nice album and totally the truth. Indie gods

Fragile

Yes

3/5

Nice fun album, though a bit too much of the same near the end

Pretenders

3/5

Fun album and I even knew a song already!

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

McCartney is huge magician and the singles from this album are absolute bangers. The other tracks were new for me and enjoyable, but not on that same level unfortunately.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

Nice music for a oldies party, but so outdated to listen to casually. Quality is good though

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Killing Moon is nice but I was a bit disappointed by the rest

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Some absolute classics. The minor songs are also still ok

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

1/5

I can handle a lot of genres but I could not handle this album. Sorry

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

4/5

I only knew some of their hitsongs. This album was not really what I expected because of that. It is way more raw and I liked that.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

I should have given her a proper listen before but standalone songs never got to me. Now I understand you need to listen to whole albums and then it clicks. I suppose my rating could be here after a couple time of listening to this album but for now just a meager 3/5.

1999

Prince

3/5

Classic album, as funky as you expect from Prince. I can enjoy it but I would not put it on myself.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Good album

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Extremely dated album by sound but it was fun!
