The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Annoyingly good. Some of the songs sag a little but multiple songs have more depth than whole albums. Standouts: Another Brick In The Wall 1&2, The Happiest Days of Our Lives, Young Lust, Is There Anybody Out There, Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

3/5

More like 3.5 - some nice tracks, nothing knock out.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

Imagine

John Lennon

1/5

Poor - 1.5. First half of the album is just awful, second half improves a little. Low quality singing, dull melodies, asinine lyrics. Would not recommend. Standouts: Gimme Some Truth, How Do You Sleep.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

4. Solid album. Some great tracks on here and the weaker ones are mostly fine/harmless. 7 O'clock News / Silent Night is not particularly insightful or good to listen to. Standouts: Patterns, Homeward Bound, Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall.

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

4. Solid RnB, really fun album. Incredibly diverse sounds, good guest appearances. Standouts: Dance or Die, Faster, Cold War, Tightrope, Neon Valley Street, Wondaland.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

3. Strange album - some classics in here but much of it is unexciting or uninteresting. Standouts: Block Rockin' Beats, Piku, Setting Sun, Where Do I Begin.

The Stooges

4/5

3.5. An interesting album with some surprisingly unique sounding tracks. Standouts: 1969, No Fun, Real Cool Time, Not Right, Little Doll.

NEU! 75

Neu!

3/5

3.5. An intriguing album that sounds fresh almost 50 years on. Some interesting tracks that sound like soundtracks. Unfortunately several of the tracks feel like filler. Standouts: Seeland, E-Musik.

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

3.5. It's very listenable. Standouts: The State I Am In, Electronic Renaissance, I Could Be Dreaming, My Wandering Days Are Over.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

4. A really fun album with a good mixture of different types of songs. Standouts: Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World, Broken, Head Over Heels / Broken. (The Big Chair and Broken Revisited on the extended version are good).

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

3/5

3.5. Decent overall album, fun listen. Lost One is very poignant. Standouts: Price Tags, Lost One, The Other Side.

Like Water For Chocolate

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

4/5

4. Solid album with some good tracks. Standouts: Glad, Empty Pages, Stranger to Himself, John Barleycorn.

Blur

2/5

2.5. Kind of mediocre, vocals aren't great, music isn't really inspiring. Not a lot to recommend this album - feels like they're on autopilot. Standouts: Song 2, Death of a Party, Essex Dogs.

Adele

2/5

2.5. At times soporific, doesn't encourage relistening. Adele's vocals are good but the music is often insipid. Standouts: Someone Like You is still great.
