Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

5/5

Wow what a record, i didn’t realise it was just a headphone masterpiece. Such subtleties in background noise and song composition, if you care to listen closely. Still not my favourite Wilco record but not a bad note played nor any albums fillers to be found. It is also very educational, as an album, taught me about the phonetic alphabet, KISS, the war on war. probably would give it 4.8, but definite 5 star on this rating scale. "Every song is a comeback every moment is a little bit later" Giddyup

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

3/5

easy listening 90's hip hop not something i lean towards but is inoffensive and nice seems quite a long album, and got boring after a while, as most of the tunes had the same tones, beats and rhythms to my un educated hop hop ears

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

2/5

depressing album for me, PJ Harvey not the most uplifting of artists but this album seems her in an ever darker mood. I prefer her earlier Sheila Na gig punk stuff, while thus is nicely produced, and lyrically smart just found it hard work, and cant see my myself ever listening to it again

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

4/5

I forgot how good this album was and still is. No fillers, all great tracks, with some bangers included, "Cut your hair" and "Range life" Great instrumentation and lyrics as always from pavement, even though i have no idea what they are singing about. Not my favourite Pavement album though, not a 5 star classic but definitely 4.5

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

Never heard this album in full before, so an interesting listen considering it was made only months after sex pistols broke up. Probably wont listen to it agaon though. One for the music history books, not my ears. Had one good song though

Before And After Science

Brian Eno

1/5

From the first song, it sounds like a Talking Heads b side , and quite a good one, but from there the album turns a bit darker. I can see the brilliance in the sound scapes, but the album isnt to my musical tastes

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

Post punk is not my favourite genre, but some of these songs are quite listenable. Angular, angry and anguished lyrics, ok for a first listen but something i would go back to.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Good album, lots of bangers, great sampling probably 3.5

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp
