Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

Saving grace of this one was the instrumentals other than that the lyrics were terrible and dated. And the album went on for way too long.

All Ratings (83)

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jul 04 2023

Not bad, some good classic songs on here but didn't really grab me. A good listen nonetheless and glad I did.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 05 2023

Some good songs on this one but never really anything that captured my attention or made me listen more intently. Might be a preconceived notion, but was expecting the energy and sound of The Rolling Stones from their big hits. Overall not a bad listen but not one I'll be going back to.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 08 2023

This thing was 2hrs but it felt like way longer, just a completely bloated album. Some interesting instrumentals throughout. Didn't enjoy this at all.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 08 2023

Classic 70's rock, nice listen and enjoyed this one all the way through.

Green by R.E.M.
Jul 09 2023

Didn't know what I was expecting to going into a R.E.M album but I enjoyed this. Short and well balanced album.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jul 10 2023

Brilliant listen, loved the whole album. Started off strong and just enjoyed the whole 34 minutes running time. Not a genre I'm familiar with but this has reaffirmed why I wanted to start this journey in the first place.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jul 12 2023

Remember this album from growing up and really enjoyed it then. After relistening to the full album again I found it to be brilliant all over. Great fun album all round.

The Band by The Band
Jul 22 2023

Not my cup of tea but nice mixture of Country, blues rock.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jul 23 2023

Jazz rock fusion but nothing much to this one for me, was ok.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jul 24 2023

Totally new genre to me but found there were some good songs on this album, enjoyed more than I was expecting.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jul 25 2023

Morrison Hotel was ok nothing really exciting, not overly familiar with The Doors. Standout track from the record for me was "Peace Frog".

Spiderland by Slint
Jul 26 2023

Some of the spoken word sections felt a bit pretentious and started getting annoying but overall was an ok listen, not something I'll be going back to.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jul 27 2023

Good voice but nah not it, not for me.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jul 28 2023

Didn't like this at all, got through it. Glad it was a short one.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 29 2023

Love this album still to this day, might be a big influence due to nostalgia of it being on repeat growing up. But the album has remained timeless for me personally. Prefer this debut and the older Coldplay records up till about Viva La Vida then I kind of fell out of listening to their newer stuff. Great intro and brilliant tracklist all throughout.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 30 2023

Didn't realise how many classics were on this one album. Great and enjoyable listen, full of great disco classic songs.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jul 31 2023

This was far too long of an album, completely void of any consistency. After halfway through the terrible vocals started getting on my nerves just wanted it to end. "White Noise Maker" yes that's exactly what this album was. Booooring.....

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 01 2023

Interesting concept and story behind this album/recording. Not something I would normally listen to or really enjoy. Was good to have on in the background and that's all I can really say about this one.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 02 2023

Can't say britpop is my favourite genre, but had enough to keep me listening and has the classic "We are Young".

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Aug 03 2023

Very abstract and experimental. Not my cup of tea but I must say was interesting to listen to Brian Eno's solo work, after only really knowing him for his production work.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Aug 04 2023

Strange mixture that kind of worked, not terrible but not something I would ever listen to again.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Aug 06 2023

Not bad, but nothing really stood out to me on this one. Looking forward to hearing the other releases from Sonic Youth though.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Aug 07 2023

Started off ok, but got progressively worse as it went on. And holy shit the spoken word "stories" annoyed the shit out of me.

Aug 08 2023

Not really a fan of soul but this was a very energetic live album. "I wanna know what's wrong with me..........it ain't that leukaemia".

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Aug 09 2023

Kind of forgettable album not my thing, got annoying listening to it towards the end despite some alright songs in the first half of the album.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Aug 10 2023

Not for me, not terrible.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Aug 11 2023

Political rap that is just too on the nose, pretty boring. Lengthy songs that felt as though they were beating you over the head with a specific message with no nuance.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 12 2023

Good album enjoyed this one, Chris Cornell's vocals shone through on this. Could have maybe been shortened a bit to might the record a bit tighter but overall good stuff.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Aug 13 2023

Another Sonic Youth album my 2nd so far, I enjoyed this more than Dirty, but similarly not vibing with them just yet. Maybe another listen of this would help but I'm just not sure. Though I can overall start to understand and see why they are revered and so influential in the industry.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Aug 20 2023

No, couldn't understand a thing at all. I did enjoy the instrumentation and overall sound of this album, but couldn't get over the fact I couldn't understand any of the lyrics at all.

2112 by Rush
Aug 21 2023

The first song at 20 mins long should have been cut down into a few tracks. Other than that I kind of enjoyed this one, wasn't too bad.

Aug 22 2023

Like a lot of the big standout hits off this album "Time to pretend, Electric Feel, Kids". The rest of the album I found to be pretty good too, quite enjoyed this and a bit of a change from what I've been getting generated on this list recently.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Aug 23 2023

Actually a few good songs but nothing that caught my attention. Was a really long album, could have done without the full 1hr 33min. Got bored towards the end and just became background music in the end.

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 24 2023

I can see why this is in the list due to its significance in the Drum and bass genre, being one of the earliest mainstream albums within the genre. Can't lie the first song got a bit boring at 20mins long but I actually kind of enjoyed some of this album surprisingly.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Aug 26 2023

Saving grace of this one was the instrumentals other than that the lyrics were terrible and dated. And the album went on for way too long.

Aug 27 2023

Good metal album...I think. Not a genre I'm super clued up on but I did enjoy this album, woke me up on a tired Friday morning, enjoyable listen.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Aug 28 2023

Some parts about half way got me interested but just as a whole didn't really stand out to me. Got bored towards the end, especially a nice 8+ minute song to end the album.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Aug 29 2023

Not bad enjoyed this one.

Tical by Method Man
Aug 30 2023

Great listen, classic 90's east coast hip-hop.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Sep 02 2023

Quite enjoyed listening to this one, not too bad.

Leftism by Leftfield
Sep 03 2023

Way too long both album and individual songs, boring and uninteresting songs. Might have been good at the time but if so it's aged like milk.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 04 2023

One or two songs on here were quite a nice listen particularly "Fine for Now". But generally just a forgettable album.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 05 2023

Good concept for an album, not a huge country fan but I did find some enjoyment out of this.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Sep 06 2023

Inoffensive, ultimately ended up as background music.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Sep 07 2023

Again background music, boring and just not for me

White Ladder by David Gray
Sep 08 2023

Yet another that ended up being background noise. Interesting hearing "Babylon" heard this one a lot before and one of the ones I didn't mind on here.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Sep 09 2023

I don't mind The Killers, but to be honest wouldn't say I'm a fan. Album has one or two good radio hits. Second half of the album fell flat in comparison to the first.

Damaged by Black Flag
Sep 11 2023

Punk...loud noises!!!

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Sep 12 2023

Pleasantly surprised enjoyed listening to this album. Good songs and singing on this and an easy listen.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Sep 13 2023

Not a big fan of this one, enjoyed the instrumentals across the album though so upgrades it to a 2/5 for me.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Sep 14 2023

Not my cup of tea, didn't really vibe with this. One track was alright but can't remember which one.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 15 2023

Album was alright but kind of passed me by to be honest. Obviously the well known "Grove Is in the Heart" was a good listen, interesting to listen to the full album.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 16 2023

Just droned on with the noise. I definitely could have been fine with never listening to this.

Sep 17 2023

Classic George Michael, brilliant album and sounds fantastic on this. Really enjoyed listening to the full album, some great instrumentals throughout also.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 25 2023

Classic, smooth and brilliant. All round great album.

Be by Common
Sep 26 2023

Loved this, great collaboration between Common and Kanye at their very best. Instantly pulled in and joined this from the intro. Production was great throughout this album along with Common's smooth flows this was an amazing listen.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Sep 27 2023

Like the Beatles but not.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Sep 30 2023

Not bad, felt like I was on a beach somewhere in or walking the streets of Cuba.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 01 2023

Jazz isn't my usual bag but I do like the odd bits I hear now and then. This was brilliant though and stands out from everything I've heard from the genre before. Loved this and was a pleasure to have on in the background, look forward to a re-listen again at some point.

Eagles by Eagles
Oct 02 2023

Kind of boring to be honest.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Oct 07 2023

Toe tapping tunes, can see how The Beetles took inspiration from Little Richard listening to this.

Oct 08 2023

Kind of whatever, Step On is a classic but other than that nothing particularly interesting for me on this album.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Oct 09 2023

Good album, need to listen to this one on some proper headphones next time and not my earbuds. But overall quite interesting.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Oct 10 2023

A dark synth pop album was a bit interesting to begin with, but really nothing that captured my attention in the end.

Oct 11 2023

Really enjoyed this, heard a few Elbow songs over the years and never listened to one of their albums.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 12 2023

Wasn't really in the mood for listening to this, didn't really enjoy it too much. Can appreciate it though.

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 14 2023

Enjoyed this, some great classic rock.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Nov 13 2023

Really nice easy listening, like Willie Nelson's voice. This album totally caught me by surprise.

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 14 2023

Uplifting, 80's synth pop. Really enjoyed this album.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 15 2023

Ok but not my genre

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Nov 17 2023

Brilliant in its simplicity. Really enjoyed this album, glad I can say I've heard of Nick Drake and listened to his music.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Nov 18 2023

2/5
