The Yes Album by Yes

Quite beautiful. Great musicianship. Great bass tones, crystal acoustic guitar clarity for some reason. Also keys and synth sounds are also on point. These combined with the artistic rhythms and vocal harmonies are something that Yes definitely had down in this ear of the band. It's a safe 5 stars whilst not being my favourite of theirs.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan

Some bad background 80s music. It's not the worst in the world but it gets annoying.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Oct 17 2022

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Oct 19 2022

Very advanced for the time, great and innovative sounds. Led Zepplinny. Very cool.

1999 by Prince
Oct 20 2022

Great all round. Good upbeat danciness etc. Great musicianship and mixes. Alot going on. Great guitar. Had I have listened with headphones my opinion may have changed.

Tommy by The Who
Oct 21 2022
Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 31 2022

Hard Heavy prog perfection

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Nov 01 2022

It would be a 8.5 but vibe with it really well and couldn't give it a 4 stars

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 08 2022

Very good zappa

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Nov 10 2022

Odd album, alot of interesting things. Almost gave 3 but admired how out there some of the songs became.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 11 2022
Document by R.E.M.
Nov 15 2022

Almost a 2 is it weren't for some of the riffs and melodies. These guys do be winey!

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 17 2022

Good for doors. Gr8 stuff. But not life changing

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Nov 21 2022

Super funky, super stylish, easy listening and uplifting music. Deserving of a 4 stars for me. Very cool instrumental solos and effects. Simple yet effective. You can't stay sad listening to this ahaha. It's a good time!

Horses by Patti Smith
Nov 22 2022

Interesting, weird but emotive. Not life changing but goes somewhere. Has great examples of vocal chord versatility. Solid 3 :)

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Nov 23 2022

Gr8 production, brutal and creative lyrics and stories, not repetitive in a boring way, very meaningful and impact filled lp. Great listen

American Pie by Don McLean
Nov 24 2022

Half mum sad songs. Album sounds like the guitar kid who's voice is bad. Yes he compensates for the cool melodies and guitar work but we're only half interested. Almost gave this a 2

Nevermind by Nirvana
Nov 25 2022

Very creative, great sounds and production. Ez 5. Era defining.

Imagine by John Lennon
Nov 28 2022

Imagine, great stuff but not 5 star great album wise. 4 from me!

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Nov 30 2022

Nice but nothing too crazy. Some songs were a little boring.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Dec 02 2022

Definitely my vibe. Very good. Didn't know I knew so many songs by these guys. Great album, on my vinyl collection wishlist.

Dec 05 2022

These song intros are on point. Weirdly psychedelic. Interesting Ol Eng. pop. Not bad. Beatlesque in the best way possible.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Dec 07 2022

Good song very good, some filler sounding songs. Great stuff but can't justify anything above 3 personally.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Dec 09 2022

Great but not my jam

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Dec 12 2022

Very good. Orchestrated nicely, great musicianship. Billy's voice is quite nice. Gets a little bit draggy for a 5 stars but we'll deserving of a 4

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Dec 13 2022

Very very average. Some bits are good but others are very mid. The good bits were good.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 14 2022

Quite engaging. Sounds like it would have been awesome to have been there. It's something that's definitely worth a listen, but I don't think I'll really crave going back to it.

Dec 16 2022

When I first head this album I wanted to give it a 1 star. However I listened to it a second time and found it wasn't as bad as I thought. I ended up adding 3 songs to my liked on Spotify which after my first listen, I never thought would happen. Still only giving it a 3 because it was very odd. But I do respect it.

Dec 19 2022

This was quite good but something was missing to be a 5 star. The songs were all almost perfect...however I cannot put my finger on why.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Dec 20 2022

Quite a good Metallica album. Not my favourite but definitely has some real bangers. Very close to a 5 for me. Giving 4 because it's not necessarily something I'll listen to over and over as a whole album.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 21 2022

Ez 5. Sleepy jazz perfection. There isn't anything I don't like from it. Perf.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 22 2022

A lot of levels to this album. Quite personal. I like it alot. Very Bowie

The Yes Album by Yes
Dec 23 2022

Quite beautiful. Great musicianship. Great bass tones, crystal acoustic guitar clarity for some reason. Also keys and synth sounds are also on point. These combined with the artistic rhythms and vocal harmonies are something that Yes definitely had down in this ear of the band. It's a safe 5 stars whilst not being my favourite of theirs.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Dec 27 2022

Reminds me of beach house. Smooth and easy to listen to. I definitely would have but nothing too crazy good in my eyes.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Dec 28 2022

Very sweet sounding stuff. Alotta cool elements but personally not something I go put of my way to listen.

Dec 29 2022

It's OK! Not my jam. Has some decent stuff but as an album not my favourite. Giving 2

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jan 02 2023

Much respect for it. Nice sounds and great songwriting. I'd love to see this kind of music in bars etc. as live...it doesn't do much for me as an album as it's a bit of a drag and doesn't move as much as I want.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jan 03 2023

Some bad background 80s music. It's not the worst in the world but it gets annoying.

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 04 2023

Gives me unplugged radiohead vibes. Quite nice. Pretty chill music. To me it's calming. But after a while you "get it"

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jan 09 2023

Quite good, I like Heroes better. Has really great stuff! Some "We get it Bowie!" stuff. As an album whole I justify a 4 as a three feels short for the good songs.... also This album has alotta names!

Elastica by Elastica
Jan 10 2023

This album is Primus but less psycho. Quite nice. Hard for me personally to LOVE anything, however it is a nice listen.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 13 2023
Jan 16 2023

I understand it! It's great. I never LOVED Queen like this. I get the hype now.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jan 17 2023

This album was awesome. Very different from alot I've listened to. The drums were immaculate and the frequent use of the monkey sounding drum is perfect. Really enjoyed.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jan 18 2023

Not my jam. I respect it however it definitely didn't appeal to me

OK by Talvin Singh
Jan 19 2023

Maybe it's a biased opinion because I like this type of "environmental" music

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 20 2023

Didn't think alot of it. Not the worst thing in the world however I don't seem to crave going back to it.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 23 2023

Quite a cool album. Great use of the fiddle. Very bouncy. Definitely would recommend to people.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 24 2023

Love her voice. Super creative vocal style. Very expressive and clear lyrically. Great music especially more on the second half. Very easy listen for me, easy 4

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 26 2023

The golden standard for dancey pop. I think this is of the best and I don't like dance music. These do bop. Gonna give a very safe 4.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Feb 01 2023

Very artistic guitar work which was pleasing to listen to. If you don't get it, you prolly won't. Solid 3 from me.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 02 2023

Quite nice. All the songs were like great to start then seemed to "hang" and not drop. I'll definitely give it a 3 for the better half.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Feb 06 2023

Probably the best applications of flute in a rocky setting. I enjoy the movement of the songs and strange vocals. I also understand this music isn't for everyone and can be a difficult listen.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 07 2023

Quite good. Enjoyable but only a 3 as it didn't take it further for me. Guitar and effects were quite good.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 08 2023

Listened to this like 3 times and don't remember anything from it haha, good background music I guess but nothing special for me, 2.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Feb 10 2023

I respect it, but its nothing great to me.

Technique by New Order
Feb 13 2023

Very neutral to me

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 14 2023

Ez 4. Great music. Exceptional hornwork.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 15 2023

Very full sound and nice groove. Flagship 60s stuff right there!

British Steel by Judas Priest
Feb 17 2023

Very mushy in my opinion. It don't hate it, but could go without it.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 20 2023

Very fun, simple, and great for bopping. I think this is a classic everyone needs to hear!

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 21 2023

Quite good, but nothing crazy good to me. Very comfortable 3, almost 4

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 22 2023

I love radiohead! But I don't go nutz over the bends. Very cool album though! Great stuff of course. Would recommend just not for me personally.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 23 2023

Some really good stuff! Smooth, great harmonies. Good cheeky little solos. Not very overwhelming. Good good cruise stuff

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 24 2023

Lovely voice, some great musicianship. A few groovy bass licks. Not 100% for me but definitely one of the best and dynamic vocal ranges I've heard

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Feb 27 2023

Beh album for me, had some good stuff but not really my jam

Low by David Bowie
Mar 01 2023
Homework by Daft Punk
Mar 06 2023

Quite good! Very great atmosphere for dance music. Quite easy listening too. Not much of a dance music person. Daft punk hits a little different.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Mar 07 2023

Very good, very like. Great harmonies. Alot of stuff I liked.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Mar 08 2023

Love the instrumentation and vocal style. Would love to hear this stuff live.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 09 2023

Best easy listen music, super smooth. Super sexy

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Mar 10 2023

Struggled with this one, very loud to me. Hard to get into.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Mar 13 2023

Not much to say, this is good music! Very enjoyable. Great vocal embellishments, instrumentation, expression. Love it all! 5 from me!

Mar 14 2023

I really find rem hard to listen to despite their hits in this album. I've mailed it down to the vocals but I could be wrong. There's something I find so draggy and annoying about their songs. I will vote a 3 as it's extremely neutral music for me

Transformer by Lou Reed
Mar 22 2023

Did not like this, quite boring to me
