The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

2/5

Enjoyed the first half, but the second half felt disjointed, and had some questionable songs such as the 'dare rape' one.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Excellent songs, excellently sung

Murder Ballads

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Came into this with high hopes and it has some really solid tracks, but felt quite overindulgent at times.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Worth a listen for Into My Arms on its own, but the rest of the album holds up well.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Superb fun. The Lip and Banana Split for my baby the highlights, but joyous throughout

Urban Hymns

The Verve

2/5

A few great songs, especially The Drugs Don't Work, but the rest of the album feels weak by comparison and is very forgettable.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

1/5

I just don't like Dylan.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

3/5

I really like Michael Kiwanuka, but the album felt like it meandered along quite a bit

Pump

Aerosmith

3/5

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Basket of Light

Pentangle

3/5

Trio

Dolly Parton

4/5

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

I'm sure it was important and did lots of clever things, but it just sounded like noise to me.

Common

3/5

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Enjoyed this when it was released, but although it has some great tracks I don't think it's their best album.

69 Love Songs

The Magnetic Fields

5/5

It's an eclectic mix, and I'm not sure if I'm in favour of the massive 69 songs, but there are plenty of nuggets of gold amongst them and I enjoyed listening to it.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Very good, but not as many standout tracks as I'd hoped for

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

4/5

Obviously a classic but I wasn't as blown away as I expected to be.

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Very enjoyable, but found I got through a lot of the songs in the background, without being captivated by any.
