The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jan 10 2023

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

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 12 2023

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

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 13 2023

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

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jan 16 2023

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

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 17 2023

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

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jan 19 2023

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

Pump by Aerosmith
Jan 20 2023
Trio by Dolly Parton
Jan 26 2023
Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 06 2025

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

Be by Common
Jan 07 2025
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 09 2025

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 by The Magnetic Fields
Jan 10 2025

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 by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 13 2025

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

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jan 22 2025

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

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jan 23 2025

Maybe it was just the timing but I loved this.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jan 27 2025

Some great songs - started and finished strong, but meandered in the middle
