Fantastic '90s style R&B singing contrasted with excellent musicianship rooted in more traditional forms of R&B and soul.

A Night At The Opera is a musical tour de force. All the instruments are perfect. The musical production is turned up to 11 but it works. It truly is like attending an opera. Freddy's voice is something to behold.

Blunderbuss
Jack White
Look, I love Jack White, everything he does, I think he, the Strokes and a few others were responsible for dragging us out of the butt rock of the early noughties. I listened to this album a lot, I'd jam along to Sixteen Saltines, the variety, humour and introspection of the lyrics and the breadth of styles shows why he's a legend.
But this album is certainly not deserving of being in the pantheon of great albums. It doesn't present anything new, merely a re-packaging of the White Stripes and those albums present a much more distilled version of what he was trying to achieve.

I thought this was just going to be your average English new wave band. It's so much more: Politically charged lyrics, impressive musical chops and musicality and interesting. Recommended.

Street Life

That was difficult to get through. I try to find the positives in most music but I really dislike the sort of anodyne smooth jazz on display here. Sorry, The Crusaders.

I'm not a fan of, and not knowledgeable enough, to have a decent opinion. That said, the previous album was Street Life by The Crusaders and anything is a masterpiece compared to that drol of an album.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not
Arctic Monkeys
I was the target demographic for this album. I was third year varsity. At this stage I was deep into the garage rock scene. The Killers were huge and The Kings of Leon were making their presence known. My mate had just come back from the UK and brought a copy of The Streets' A Grand Don't Come For Free. What I mean is I was primed for this album. Even so, when WPSIATWIN was just something else entirely. There was nobody making music that sounded like this, or at least that reached us at the southern end of Africa. It was a revelation. We could identify with the rabble-rousing, drinking and partying on display. As the Arctic Monkeys have matured so have I. I guess what I'm saying is this album is both a significant point in the cultural zeitgeist and a deep dive into nostalgia for me.

You Want It Darker
Leonard Cohen
I did not expect to enjoy this. Generally I prefer the melody and harmonies of a song to the lyrics but the words just hit hard. It was truly beautiful. Coupled with the extremely subdued arrangements it was a haunting listen.
