Favourite Song - I’m in the Mood
One for karaoke - I’m in the Mood
One for a run - The Healer
Started off okay this one and then gradually got tiresome. I was in the mood after the first few songs to pull down my undies and shake my nob around as if I was in a sexy underground dark bar kind of place that had a blues band in the corner playing.
This on the surface may well seem like a nice thought but the second half correlated more with the reality that if you did whip out your nob in any bar for that matter, you’ll be promptly asked to leave and have to roam around town looking for somewhere else still open to go.
So this album for me started like a willy shaking blues album but ended up feeling like I was alone in the rain trying to get into a bar in Matthew St only to realise it was 6am and doors were closed.

Ace of Spades
Motörhead
Back in the day I was a dastardly street magician. I would take advantage of drunken idiots for a small fee and perform ‘magic’. This one time I got caught by a fella who happened to see my trick deck and noticed every card was the Ace of Spades, I was mortified. “The gig is over mate, you’re done for unless….” He started to unzip his pants and said “I’ll let it slide if you Love me Like a Reptile”. I said to him “turn around then”. He obliged and as he turned around I pulled out my trusty revolver (this isn’t a metaphor) and I said “I’m going to Shoot you in the Back”.
Bang. He was on the floor bleeding out and I said to him “we are very different people you and I. I don’t do this for sport, I Live to Win”.
At this point I walked away, leaving him to enjoy his final few minutes face down in the dark street. I was in such a high and went into the night looking for a woman, someone who is Fast and Loose. It was as if someone could hear my thoughts because these hot chicks pulled up out of nowhere smelling of cigarettes and leather. “We are the Roadcrew”, this one firecracker stated. She walked up to me I noticed my piece. At this point it could of been a metaphor as I was ready. She took my gun and the other chick, hair looking like a premium firework silhouetted in front of the moonlight. “Fire Fire” she yelled whilst shooting my gun into the air. In a daze, I didn’t take into consideration what attention this brought to the alley we were in which was now lit up by red and blue lights. As ominous the arrival was of these chicks, their departure was as if they were all smoke and mirrors. I was done for. As the metal clasped my cold sweaty wrists, one cop said “you’ll be jailbait in a few hours you little punk”.
I was thrown into a cell. Alone with my thoughts still not really understanding where it all went wrong. Why was I so comfortable in shooting that man? Is this something I have done before? Why can’t I remember anything before that incident? A big brute came pacing outside my cell, caressing the bars with his fingers “You have no idea what you’ve done do you? We’ve been looking for you for months and at the sight of a bit of pussy, you let your guard down. You’re fucked now, that was your last dance”. I had no answer. I guess this is is, I have to bite the bullet. Considering they have been searching for me for months and now I am within 6 feet of every cop in this town, they sure do not seem too happy. Maybe the Chase is better than the catch after all.
With this in mind I thought I would oblige. Why does this have to be over? We can continue this game can’t we? I could see that this 300lb fucker had all the tools on him to take down a small army. I could see the seam of his pants partially covering a gun in is boot. He had two guns on each side of his hip and what looked like a blade in his back pocket. I walked over to the cell and he seemed to appear smaller the closer I walked to him. He looked scared which made me start to question what kind of things I had been doing outside? This guy who was safe on the other side of the cell started to tremble. He was so scared he couldn’t even look me in the eye. His head looking down at my hand he has now realised that is his terrified state I have taken one of his guns and he knows that he’s the one fucked. We are both fucked but at least I will be the one who sees this guy get fucked. I pull back the hammer “In a bit dickhead”
Not really my cup of tea that album.

This gets 5 due to the bangers. The run of songs consisting of Thriller, Beat It, Billie Jean and Human Nature has to be the strongest run of songs possibly ever.

Eminem
This is the first album we have had so far that had the biggest impact on me.
This album took over my school, it was the talk at footy and all my mates. My poor mum must of felt sick walking past my room one day and hearing ‘Kim’.
Eminem just came out of nowhere for me. I looked at the charts and in 2000 the top 5 albums in the UK were Robbie Williams, a greatest hits for The Beatles, Westlife and Moby. Just full of pop and here comes this fella who’s performing in jumpsuits and hockey masks, rapping about killing the mother of his kid and telling kids to do drugs and rape sluts.
I genuinely believed that Eminem was really a nut job when I was 10 years old and he almost had some boogeyman persona. I love this album and always go back every so often and now realise just how funny it is.

Did not feel 90 minutes which is a huge compliment.
This album is fucking bonkers in the best way. It has rock and roll, jazz, 1920 showgirl tunes, lullabies, hollywood film scores all whilst being Beatles tunes.
What a band. I cannot imagine what people thought each time they released something new. Must of been so exciting.

Feel harsh as I listened to two Beatles albums back to back before this. What it do though is solidify my score for the previous two.
I always thought this was a decent album so I will give it a 3 here but its miles and miles behind what I have heard today. It also didn't help that Spotify chose to play 'Drugs Don't Work' by the Verve straight after which is a better song than anything on this album

Her voice is a joke. It's so good but I don't think there's anything special about this album. Whilst the songs are decent enough, there's no major standout other than Someone Like You which is a banger. 'Rumour Has it' is a song I have always disliked, I just hate the chorus.
As I say, it's all thanks to her voice. If I could sing like that I reckon I could knock an album out of similar quality.

The stories of how came about and him befriending one of the inmates all just adds to the feel of the album.
Also I would like to make it known that no....it was not Crister Ronald who invented Suey! It was in fact Mr Cash. Go to the opening track 'Folsom Prison Blues' and skip to 1:12 and you'll see my point proved.

Paint it Black - Could hear this everyday and it would never bore me. Classic and also my favourite Guitar Hero song to play back in the day.
Stupid Girl - Organs to kick it off, great. Organs should be in all songs in some capacity. Weird fairground vibes with what should be an annoying chorus but it works.
Lady Jane - nice change of pace. Is it about women or drugs?
Under My Thumb - Another cracker. Is there a Xylophone? Sounds well.
Doncha Bother Me - Now we are in the world of slide guitaring blues. Boss song. A nice treat with earphones.
Think - Decent melody but the weakest song up to now which is a compliment to the tracks up to now.
Flight 505 - This song makes me realise that I should just stay in on the weekend playing on the PS5 with a cuppa. No need to rash decisions to fly off somewhere because there's a good chance I'll end up fucking dead.
High and Dry - More bluesy again. Harmonica making a nice appearance. A good ol' knee slapper.
It's Not Easy - Okay song. One of the weakest I think on the album. I like to think the girl is a metaphor for Everton and supporting them is not easy.
I Am Waiting - Folky number. Dunno what it's about but it picks up at the 2:00 mark and gets me good. Boss song
Going Home - Ending on another bluesy sounding song. It was alright but one of the weakest. It did feel like a fitting end track however.

A wiki comment regarding the album warrants a 5 alone; 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik', simply, sounds like fucking. Even the purest virgin comes away from Blood Sugar Sex Magik with a degree of sexual maturity; even the slickest playa can learn a couple of new moves."
This is considered the best RHCP album and it's hard to disagree. It's not my favourite as By The Way was the album that introduced me to them but it is the best. Other than RHCP, what else sounds like this? 'I Could of Lied', 'Breaking the Girl', Blood Sugar Sex Magik', 'Under the Bridge' and 'If you have to ask' are some of my favourite RHCP songs all on one album.

Enjoyed this one. Unlike anything we’ve had up to now and sounded ahead of it’s time.

Another Smiths album and another enjoyable listen. Possibly the weakest for me in comparison but that isn’t a sleight.

First full Maiden album. Enjoyed more than I thought I enjoyed the band in general. Maybe I was just sick of the hits.

Classic opening and a boss mixture of all types of guitar here. Solos and hard rock to sliding blues. Really can’t say a bad think about Led Zepplin albums that have popped up on here. All first listens for me which is shameful.

American Idiot
Green Day
One of the biggest albums I can remember as a school kid. Seemed to hit the mainstream proper big time. As a result I really can’t stand American Idiot (song) but there’s a few belters in there. Even songs I’ve heard so many times. I like all the songs but stars are getting dropped for the title song and ‘Extraordinary Girl’

Enjoyed this album. Hard going in for a live one without knowing the band but still thought it was boss

All seemed to blend into one. I like the music in snippets but nothing really grabbed me. Willing to give them a go again

Great album. Been a fair few years since I listened all the way though but yeah, this album is an easy 5 for me. Love it
