Wilco

Very average album No songs particularly memorable. Flow of the album feels like the band cannot decide on a genre

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Overarching theme of melancholy Songs like Girlfriend in a coma sound like a parody of the band Mix of sad sounding songs in the major key giving them an initial disguise of a happy songs Some songs flow into each other as if the album is one song broken up into choruses verses bridges and interludes Album seems to give a feeling of thatcher England The band sound varies from school drama club to pub band to big stage band

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

Essential hip hop/rap Album starts strong with some amazing songs but fades to mediocre towards the end. The rap seems quite simple and basic in comparison to modern rap. Drum tracks are super tight and quintessential hip hop Lyrics wise it really shows its age on some songs

Parklife

Blur

4/5

Classic 90s indie/britpop Album starts very strong, wains a little in the middle but over all a good solid album from an excellent band Some songs have an flavour of the Beatles

Beautiful Freak

Eels

3/5

Excellent mellow/easy listening indie pop Snapshot of 90s indie pop Even their heavier sounding songs still have a mellow vibe

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

Some super cool ambient & neo psychedelic rock Whole album flows really well as if it is just one long song. Some songs are a feast for the ears without being overwhelming. Super melodic giving some songs a lullaby feel in parts.
