4/5

Good album. Definitely not what i expected from an album titled "Fromohio" from 1989. Wasn't a big fan of "Liberty for our friend", only real song on the album that wasnt great. The singer was good, but god damn the guitar and drums really brought it here.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

2/5

Some nice instrumental samples, pretty much all the vocal sample choices felt out of place. Overall the album feels best as background music

Revolver

Beatles

3/5

Final two songs saved it for me along with Eleanor Rigby. Rest of the album was pretty dissapointing

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

2/5

Copied their style from the beatles, copied their lyrics from Bob Dylan (and others). Not as good as either, not even close

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Just hits from start to finish. Incredible samples, lyrics and just everything

Life's Too Good

The Sugarcubes

3/5

First half of the album is great. Never heard Bjork before, her voice is really interesting. Didnt enjoy the 2nd half so much, and the mans singing was really odd. Interested to hear Bjorks later work.

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

2/5

Its like if the beatles didnt even try to be interesting or have ideas. The title song is incredible, just great. The rest is just very generic catchy rock that doesnt really say anything

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

1/5

Rubbish

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

2/5

Stressful music, not my style.

The Visitors

ABBA

2/5

Im not a big ABBA fan, but i liked the first song. And on the info about the album this is apparently a large departure from their normal work, so i was excited. And then the rest of the album was standard ABBA, but without being as catchy as some of the bands best work

In The Wee Small Hours

Frank Sinatra

3/5

It was good, but i know theres such better work by Frank Sinatra that this feels somewhat of a let down after i saw it come up on the site.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

3/5

Decent music, high energy. Everything sounds pretty much the same. Also feel like compilation albums shouldnt be on here as its kind of cheating, and not meant designed to be an album

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

3/5

Pretty good, very relaxing. Lacked a real stand out song imo

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

Excellent excellent album. Only listened to a very small amount of Joy Division before. What i learnt listening to this is that so many bands i like that came after Joy Division borrowed so much of their style. Just everything here is great. The singing, the heavy atmosphere. Just great

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

1/5

Not great, even with the title song being good. The rest of the album is just so flat and boring.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Really excellent album. Great songs start to almost finish (wasnt a fan of the final one) And it had the song from the hit movie The Batman featuring Robert Pattinson, so thats good.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

2/5

Incredibly boring album, some decent guitar but thats about it.

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

5/5

Excellent album, the Bowie influence is super clear (not less than when you can actually hear him) but Iggys singing is also fantastic. And The Passenger is just an all time great song.

Either Or

Elliott Smith

1/5

Boring, dull, tedious

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

This pretty much confirms my suspicion that Paul Simon is really good. And im going to blame all the bad parts of the album on the fact that Art Garfunkel thinks hes smarter than he is Voices of old people is just stupid.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

1/5

I didn't like Elbow when i first heard them in 2008. In the intervening 15 years a lot of my music tastes have changed. So i was willing to give them another go. And let me tell you, after all that time, they still absolutely suck ass.

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

4/5

Real pleasant surprise, wasnt expecting to like this quite as much as i did. Just a great voice and nice calm music to listen to.

Fromohio

fIREHOSE

4/5

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

1/5

Listened to this about 3 hours ago, already forgot almost everything. Just a completely forgettable and boring album.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Really good album. As a huge fan of Gorillaz this felt similar to it. Also the album art is fantastic.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

2/5

Pretty bland, not really my style

Trafalgar

Bee Gees

2/5

Pretty boring album, not what i expected from the Bee Gees.

Black Sabbath

5/5

Just over 20 albums in and this is easily the best one I've had so far. Incredible album top to bottom. Feel people dont realise how good a musician Ozzy was considering he might be more known for reality tv now. But hes excellent here. Ended up spending my entire day listening to Black Sabbaths entire discography and it was great

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

Very bland

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

4/5

Pretty good, very relaxing and she has a great voice.

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

1/5

1/5 why on earth is this even on this list at all

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Really great album.

Survivor

Destiny's Child

2/5

Good first 3 songs, guess they hoped those songs alone would sell the album because after that it gets reall bad real quick

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

Good album, bit too repetitive. Some really good songs though.

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Not such a fan of this as i am their later work. Theres signs of something to come, but just a bland album of some good blues covers

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Not his best work, not a fan of the synth

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

1/5

Interesting album cover. Uninteresting music

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Not my favourite radiohead album ,but not the worst album ive ever heard

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

3/5

Really interesting, not a band id heard before but a real cool sound.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Even a bad led zeppelin album is a great album, and this is far from a bad one. I got into Led Zeppelin from my dad, and this album has both his favourite and my favourite Led Zeppelin song in Gallows Pole and Tangerine. Also this managed to avoid any of the weirder songs they did when they sing about battles vs elves and shit.

Rapture

Anita Baker

2/5

Great voice, kinda boring songs

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

Ive never really listened to Metallica before, i guess i was maybe expecting more? This was pretty decent, just nothing amazing.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

This is a great great album. I think if all Radiohead sounded like this theyd be a lot more popular, but a lot less interesting overall

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

5/5

Great album with some really incredible songs on it.

Face to Face

The Kinks

2/5

Very tame album considering what i usually expect from the kinks. Felt more like a beatles ripoff than anything else. Sunny Afternoon is good though

Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

The writing is good, the percussion is good, but the reality is Bowie just cannot perform vocally on this album, which means too much is just using instruments to fill time. I understand that theres reasons for why he cant perform. But it just makes the album unlistenable for me, also Blackstar the song is just terrible.

Led Zeppelin

4/5

A good album without being great, signs of whats to come from the band. Good Times Bad Times and Dazed and Confused are mega hits and deservedly so.

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Incredibly tedious boring and uninteresting. Longest 35 minutes of my life. If it wasn't for the Watchmen movie no one would know who Leonard Cohen is.

Copper Blue

Sugar

2/5

Just a really bland and boring version of what a lot of bands at the time sounded like. Nothing really unique or interesting to say about it.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

2/5

Can't believe they managed to ruin their own songs by just refusing to move on after playing it for 7 minutes.

If You're Feeling Sinister

Belle & Sebastian

2/5

Super generic at best, boring at worst.
