Calenture
The Triffids
This one surprised me. Hadn't thought I'd like it much, not really being into that kind of 80s music, but it all came together really nicely. Nice melodic album. Though, probably not going on my personal playlist

Sticky Fingers
The Rolling Stones
Been trying to get into The Stones for ages, and this album pulled me in! Classic rock tunes with some really spicey saxophone mixed in for flavour. While I jammed to most of the songs, there were a few that where a tad too country for my tastes (looking at Dead Roses...)
Probably a low five, but a five nonetheless

Face to Face
The Kinks
I love the Kinks. I've been listening to them since I knew what music was, so I might be a little biased.
I find their English wit and dreary up-beat sadness really endearing. Sunday Afternoon is one of my all time favourites.
They are weird, silly, sad and I love them.
But to be fair, I think I prefer their later albums. Overall a solid album. Low 5

Fear Of A Black Planet
Public Enemy
I have a soft spot for hiphop and sampling, so this was a joy to listen to.
The constant drums and bass really carried the album, love it.
This being said, some of the songs really overstayed their welcome and there was no need for the album to last an hour.
Think this album is probably enjoyed best in snippets rather than a full listen.
My favourite was definitely Fight the Power, such a good finisher.
Solid 4

A Love Supreme
John Coltrane
This is such a joy to listen to. I wish to be this man someday!
What's to say? Just 30 minutes of great jazz. Will definitely listen to it again, amazing to study to.
Pt 2 is my favourite by far - the sax just goes wild!
High 4, low 5 depending on mood.

The Fat Of The Land
The Prodigy
Listened to some of it, but I've heard it many times before.
Decent album with some good EDM tracks, a little rough on the ears though

Great garage album. Sick riffs and edgy lyrics. What's not to like?

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!
Frank Sinatra
Only listened to the first few songs, but it's Frank Sinatra. You kinda get what he's about. He's good but not necessarily stand-out. I'd put on his singles, but maybe not a whole album

The Wall
Pink Floyd
Didn't manage to listen to the whole album, but it's a classic for a reason
I need to dedicate an afternoon to actually listening to the whole thing and see if I get it then

Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
Can't go wrong with a bit of blues! Very pleasant album, something I'd put on as background music while having a drink with a friend. But really something I'd listen to normally

Definitely Maybe
Oasis
YES! This album defined my early teens! The distorted guitar riffs, the off-key vocals (that give it it's all anyways), the corny yet impactful lyrics! I love it all.
The album also just feels cohesive and coherent. Each song flows intuitively into each other.
Strong album from start to finish!

The Last Of The True Believers
Nanci Griffith
This album is the part of country music that I don't like. It's cute, it competent, but ultimately not my taste.
Listening to it was a fun insight into a part of music I've never really interacted with, but that doesn't make it a better album.
Probably wouldn't listen to it again

Time Out
The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Brilliant!! Dave Brubeck is such a classic. The interplay between the woodwinds, the piano, and the drums weave so elegantly together, along with the subtle imagry. It's a delight to listen to!
