Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

There’s an argument for this to be the best album of all time. Certainly not my favourite but it’s perfect pop rock. Every track is genius and together they make an unbelievable album.

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

Absolutely brilliant. 4-5 tracks on there that are timeless bangers. The rest sound a bit dated, I’d have to say but still one of the great albums and arguably the most influential in rap music.

Violent Femmes

3/5

3/5 or 7/10 Great listen first time through. Loved how they made acoustic music sound quite punk like. Vocals a bit prepubescent at times. Blister in the Sun = A masterpiece song

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Lovely listen for a Sunday evening. Incredible voice, and a rare treat to hear the live audience mutterings, which adds a lot to the vibe of the record.

Vulgar Display Of Power

Pantera

1/5

Not for me. I had to listen to it one track at a time. I can appreciate a song at a time to a degree, but listening to the full album is incomprehensible to me.

2112

Rush

2/5

A big improvement on last week’s Pantera album but not something I’ll likely ever listen to again. Pleasant enough though.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Very, very good! Deserves more than 3 stars but not quite 4. So many sounds pulling together. I really enjoyed it.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

4/5

Brilliant! Will definitely be playing this again and again. Great album.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

Very good pop rock. A little soppy at times for me. ‘American Girl’ is an incredible good track!

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

Really good! Great vocals and cool guitars. Cherry Colour Funk is a belter!

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

Not for me. Good for a 90s action drama but not much else.

Peter Gabriel

2/5

Saved by Sledgehammer but the rest of the album is so meh. Not my kind of music but maybe it was groundbreaking at one point. Jus sounds like typical 80s pop.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Very good songwriting! Enjoyed it from start to finish.

Repeater

Fugazi

1/5

Not for me.

3/5

Phenomenal opening track, but then the rest is flat. A few crap, pointless covers too.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

2/5

Great for the first 3 tracks. Pretty hard to listen to after that. Not my kind of lyrics, and not my kind of vocal Melodies. Guitars are incredible though.

Fleet Foxes

5/5

Excellent!
