Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

Heard it several times already. I like it more than the average Radiohead fan, as I think it’s unfair to consider it as a load of Kid A cast-offs. It lacks the same through-line in the tracklisting, but many of the songs are excellent on their own terms, even if Thom Yorke pushes it a little too far with the artificial manipulation of his vocals. Favourite track: Life In A Glasshouse

Fleet Foxes

1/5

Drivel, hard to find any redeeming features. Soft, inoffensive folk that feels like it was written purely for BBC Radio 2. I can see why some people might like it, as it’s a very good attempt at what it’s trying to be, but I hate what it’s trying to be.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

5/5

Loads of fun and it sounds great. Early metal mixed with a little bit of prog and a lot of groove. Warra rhythm section dat was den

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

john paul jones <333 john bonham <333 robert plant <333 the other other i guess <3

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Not exactly my usual listening, but quite enjoyable. Will probably listen again every now and then, and will check out his other stuff

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Is it their best ever? Is it the best rock album ever? Is it the best album ever? It’s really good.

Melodrama

Lorde

4/5

Very well produced marriage of pop music and genuine, from-the-heart songwriting. Really cool!

GREY Area

Little Simz

3/5

Good production and she’s very talented, maybe it’s more than three stars but I was ever so sleepy when I was listening to it. Will probably put it on again in the office soon.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

4/5

Even better than I remember, another Doors album with surprisingly killer bass work.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

Good stripped back rock sound that no doubt influenced subsequent records like AM. Suffers from being 15 minutes too long, and some of the songs getting used in adverts

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

3/5

Good individual songs, but not enough to sustain an album. You can see why they were (and still are) so popular though

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Lol (Morrissey is annoying)

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

I THINK it’s really good, an interesting spin on the early shoegaze craft. Will need to listen with better headphones though

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

Maybe it’s three stars, maybe it’s five. I couldn’t tell because my new headphones are a crock

Ramones

5/5

Ridiculous, 14 songs in 29 minutes and they all sound exactly the same. So much fun

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

4/5

Really good, and some great variety in there. A couple songs are duds but that’s all part of the fun

The Stooges

4/5

Great listen, even if it is obvious they didn’t have enough material to fill an album

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Good, quite Talking Heads-ish. Some enjoyable tracks but not really my scene

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

3/5

Not bad, not great. Probably blew people’s heads off back in 1975, but just feels unavoidably mediocre now. Sound like they’d be fun live though!

Dare!

The Human League

4/5

Excellent, and probably light years ahead of its time. Haven’t listened to Side B yet though as I am too sleepy

Pornography

The Cure

4/5

Cool music, very evil sounding :)

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Really good, poppy but punky but groovy. I REALLY need to get better headphones

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

2/5

Hmm. I don’t think I’ll ever listen to any of this ever again

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

4/5

Really fun, really camp, a cool place for glam rock to go in 1977

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

4/5

Nice to listen to in the background, good beats and good rhythm

Caetano Veloso

4/5

Cool mix of Latin American music and 60s psychedelic garage rock, quite Hendrixy as well

Destroyer

KISS

4/5

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

Liked it before, liked it now, seems like an odd criticism but maybe too loud?? Knights Of Cydonia goes stupid hard as always

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

Hip hop? Jazz? Ambient? All three??? Will be very good on a night shift

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Cool, folk but with a tiny bit of funk (nice bass work)

Hysteria

Def Leppard

3/5

Will need to listen again I think, sounded miles better once I put it through a different speaker

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

4/5

Goes like a train. Shame he’s a massive weirdo because WHAT a worker

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

Live album! In a prison! There is no better genre

Protection

Massive Attack

3/5

Can’t lie I don’t really remember it. It was fine (I think), “trip-hop” just doesn’t grab me

Pump

Aerosmith

4/5

Pretty cool, has that 80s Aerosmith sound but deviates into new and interesting areas to keep it fresh for the whole album. Nicely constructed!

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Very very Springsteeny. He’s never been my scene but he’s on form here and that’s fun to listen to.

On The Beach

Neil Young

5/5

Lovely, really good, I’m Neil Youngpilled baby

Trans Europe Express

Kraftwerk

3/5

Bleep bloop, bleep bleep blorp, I’m just not sure there’s any need

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

3/5

Dunno really, bit all over the place and the 10 minutes of scatological humour really dragged it down

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

Really liked it, would listen to more Arcade Fire but I expect they’ll show up again on here at some point. Shame it’s too long. Why do they keep doing this.
