Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

Starts with some bangers but by the end was over it. Ends flat for me.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Okay I thought I hated The Smiths at first. But then grew to like them a bit. But the first impression stuck. Overall I found the album mostly meh but sound good songs at the end.

The Cars

4/5

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Fun album. Funky having fun and gets political points in. Awesome beats and samples.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

Yeah this album rips. Perfection.

Eagles

3/5

Okay starts off with some solid country rock. Some initial just hell yea classic rock vibes. But the album goes on I get why people hate the Eagles. Whatever juice it had to start is gone by the end.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

This is why I’m doing this project. Absolutely love this album. Genre fluid - could have came from anytime. Found a new artist I love.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

1/5

I hate Morrrissey and the Smiths.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

Beep booping German robots back in the 70s. Crazy to hear the now familiar techno synth and realize where it has come from.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

Cozy comforting great vibes. Some great classic folk. Feels like early fleetwood

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

Man. This ain’t it.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Moody 90s indie. I enjoyed it. Teenage me would have loved it.

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

4/5

Really great sound. Some clever lyrics but unfortunately I’m listening while working so I’m sure it’s worth really digging into. But overall enjoyed it.

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

4/5

Absolutely blast of a punk rock album. Never takes itself too seriously and is just a fun awesome fuck yeah type of listen. 4.5 for sure.

Dig Your Own Hole

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Felt like I was on speed in a shitty euro night club. Hell yea.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Knowing the hits but not the albums it was fun to dive in. I enjoyed it. Interesting concept of first half traditional rock songs and second half instrumentals. I enjoyed them. Did it blow me away. No. But that’s fine. 3.5

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

I do not consider myself a Coldplay fan at all. I was a big time hater for most of their career…HOWEVER. I did enjoy this debut album. They’ve evolved into something entirely different but this is a fine listen. Even good at times.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Relaxing artistic vibe. It’s solid.

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

5/5

I am not heavy metal but I would love to be a heavy guy. This rips.

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Sexy jazzy smooth cool ass album. Enjoyed.

Scott 4

Scott Walker

3/5

I was thinking I hated this at first as it sounded as pretentious as a man who names 4 albums after him. But. His deep booming voice, the general sadness of it grew on me. I think it was actually solid maybe.

Dire Straits

4/5

Sultans of swing but an album. Complimentary. Moody riffs and solos. Killer debut album.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

This album is perfection of 90s. Some true anger and heart put into this. A raw emotion and music just is perfect 90s sound.

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

4/5

Man what a fun bossa nova album. Just the perfect vibe for driving in a convertible to a beach drink in hand (it’s the 60s it’s fine). What an excellent vibe.

Red Dirt Girl

Emmylou Harris

2/5

It’s fine. I knew nothing of her prior and doubt I will ever go out of my way to hear her again. Just not for me. But I still enjoyed it despite itself.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

2/5

A cheesy ass glam rock album. It’s not good. It’s not bad. It’s fun at times but other times it’s just corny. I could have died without it.

Live!

Fela Kuti

5/5

Blast of some live afrorock. Always love me some fela.

A Northern Soul

The Verve

1/5

I like the Verve. This is bland and uninspired. Absolutely could die without it.
