FISHCAKES

I honestly tried to like this. It's just so damn boring to me. I listened twice thinking I must be missing something, but still just hmmmmmm. Not for me I guess

I'd somehow managed to dismiss Snoop as a features rapper and had never listened to a full album of his. Big big huge mistake. Hip hop at its finest.

Nothing to dislike here.

Way way better than expected. One I'd never have checked out.

Funny this should be the first album, have been a massive Machine Head fan since their Burn My Eyes debut and am aware they named themselves after this album but have never actually listened to this record. That was a mistake. All I really knew about Deep Purple up to this point was Smoke on the Water. Opener is already sucking me right in. This is my type of album for sure.

Like this one more than I thought I would. I don't think I'd ever find myself reaching for Buddy Holly normally so well done generator.

Had only really heard the title track. I prefer the rock/blues songs to the more ballad type tunes but on balance a pretty solid dad rock LP.

An undiscovered gem. I was expecting some filler with an album so long, but every song earns its place in the tracklist. A masterpiece.

I've been trying to listen to more jazz, this album is a treat. Another one for the regular playlist.

First album generated that I have actually listened to before. I'm not a massive SP fan but this album is rather special, imo. My favourite of theirs by quite some margin. I'd forgotten how noisy this album can get, but listening again after some time I'm appreciating the softer tracks. To Forgive is simply beautiful. Heavier the better usually for me but Pumpkins are a band that can get the ballads right too. Nothing better than a heavy band dropping the heaviness, to my ears at least. I can see how this might become a bit much being 2hrs long but I truly can't get enough of this.

Liked it more than I expected to. More than just another punk album.

Quite liked this one.

A great Beatles album. Such great songs in this. Easy 5 stars

What can I say. It's Bob Marley and it's great.

Easiest 5 stars ever. This album has it all, sadness, sorrow, hope, joy and a whole bunch of gruesome murders. The Bad Seeds at the top of their game here, though to be fair they are on most albums. Ending it all with the Dylan cover 'Death Is Not The End' is a stroke of genius. Long live Nick Cave.

Not really my bag. Songs were ok, but nothing that really grabbed me much

I pretty much grew up with this album, as familiar as my own skin. Love it more with every listen. Nothing Else Matters is a perfect rock ballad. Just a perfect LP.

Sad he only got to finish this one album. Would love to have heard what would come later. Nice listen.

Over 20 years before I was born, still sounds fresh today. Good music will remain good music, regardless of when it was recorded. Ready Teddy a particular favourite.

I like blues, I like guitar solos. This album is just a lil too long though. Version of Little Wing is OK, prefer the original though.

Up til now the only way I knew of Steely Dan was through an old Harry Hill joke. Not a bad album, was nice to listen to on the way home from work. Probably won't listen to it ever again though.

Meh

Punk at it's very finest. Love Biafra. Great album.

Quite liked this one. Worth a few more listens.

I prefer his more eclectic albums, but this stripped back focus on songwriting Beck is not too bad either.

The best bits are the feedback parts. Beautifully noisy. Love this album.

Listening to the Beatles always makes me smile. Great album.

Meanders a little bit in the middle. Still a really solid album overall though.

More wonderful noise from Sonic Youth. Plenty of feedback etc. This is how guitars should be played.

A nice listen. Likely won't revisit this one much.

A pretty solid listen. Guess I'm more of a Sting/Police fan than I thought.

If it hadn't been early morning some of this album would possibly have put me to sleep. Not a terrible album by any means, just not for me.

Lots of great guitar and synth lines. Will be checking out more of their work in future for sure.

Big time Bowie fan. Was never gonna be any other rating for this one. Solid album from start to finish, even the Eno instrumentals. Up there with the Dame's best.

Great album, though some.of the songs go on just a bit longer than they really need to.

Liked this way more than I thought I would. Strong Bowie influence can be heard throughout.

Some interesting rhythms going on here. Had already heard the Soulful version of the first track, which I didn't realise was a cover until now. Can see the influence on later (Max fronted) Sepultura and Soulfly in the drums at least.

Some nice lo-fi on here. Will need to check out some more.

Jay Z on top form here.

I was hesitant to listen to this, nu metal isn't my favourite form of metal so I only was kinda aware of Linkin Park having intentionally avoided them in the past. This album is pretty good all told, nice riffs and found myself enjoying most of the songs. Scored higher than I expected to.

I'm not quite sure how I've managed to avoid listening to so many classic albums, but The Rolling Stones always seemed a band cemented in a time before mine. Ultimately you can't really beat a bit of good old rock n roll, and The Stones have always excelled at that. This album feels to me like you're in the studio with the band getting loaded and just enjoying some jams. The type of album this list was made for, imo.

Loved it. Another classic I had totally neglected until now.

Bon Jovi at their Bonniest and their Joviest.

Quite liked this one. Not amazing, bit pretty damn great.

I honestly tried to like this. It's just so damn boring to me. I listened twice thinking I must be missing something, but still just hmmmmmm. Not for me I guess

Good set of songs. Shame we lost such a brilliant talent.

Another undiscovered gem. Not even a name I was familiar with. Loved it.

Reading the notes, Elliott recorded all parts himself. This is precisely the type of album I wish I could've written myself. Top marks well deserved.

This album is sheer utter ear candy from start to finish. A complete joy to listen to. Perfection.

Sounds better late at night when you're very blazed. Apparently some of these songs were written as a stream of consciousness and it really shows.

JJ at her finest. A brilliant album with a brilliant band.

Le freak, c'est Chic.. Besides the songs I already knew the rest felt like filler. I appreciate their influence and the amount of other hits he's written or been involved in, but this album fell flat and was underwhelming.

You'd be forgiven for thinking a full band recorded this and not Dave Grohl all by himself. Some really great songs on here.

I lost something listening to this, not sure it was my soul though. Some interesting parts here and there but most of the songs felt like they dragged and plodded along. Bland

More like The Bland. Music from Big Stink

This is more like it. Great album.

I imagine being at an airport nowadays would be bad enough without having to listen to this snoozefest. Yawn.

Hip hop classic. Bars upon bars upon bars.

I was a bit hesitant over this one, as I didn't particularly like the solo album I listened to. This is however a great live album. Kinda get Van the Man now.

Lou Reed with some help from Bowie. Some really silly lyrics. And Perfect Day. Love this album.

These songs all blended together. Dull.

Some interesting stuff on here for sure. Will need to listen again some time.

Middle of the road.

FISHCAKES

Plods along wearily.

Randomly picked this up on vinyl as it intrigued me. Very eclectic.

Utterly bonkers

So different from what I'd usually listen to. Liked more than I didn't.

A corker of an album

It's Al Green. Nuff said really.

Pleasant enough. Average.

Great album

Not my usual bag, but I quote liked this.

This felt longer than it actually was.

Never getting that time back.

Was putting off listening to this one as I generally don't like live albums. The Who are tighter than Axls 90s hot pants here. Wow.

Forgive me Father For I have synthed....

Classic

Groovy grunge

Another great band I'd never heard of.

Timeless classic

What a wonderful, wonderful album. Loved every second of this.

Beautiful

Was a nice listen overall

An interesting listen. Still undecided.

Worth it for the 11 minute Grapevine cover alone. Everything else great too. Enjoyable listen.

I liked this a little more than I expected.

We like both kinds a music here. Country AND western.

Way way better than expected. One I'd never have checked out.

Sublime. Another top scorer.

Long live Ozzy. Perfection.

Oh my god, that's the funky shit.

Yes

Classic hip hop. Great use of samples throughout.

Extra points for unexpected Public Enemy.

I kept expecting strings to break. Very mellow. Can take or leave most of it to be brutally honest.

One I think I'm going to return to a lot.

Our eldest cat is named after Mossy Elliot. This album is awesome. Old school hip hop at its finest.

Dull as dishwater.

Meandering mellow dance music. Meh.

Freddie and the boys rocking out. Gotta love it.

Not really my bag.

Dull dull dull

Got sunshine in a bag. Brilliantly bonkers. Love Damon.

Been listening to this for over 30 years. It's part of my DNA. Brilliant.

When ABBA does their swan song, the swans do sing. Great stuff.

Great album

Melancholy MOR. Meh.

Rocktastic

Musical perfection.

Acoustic Zeppelin hits different for sure. Amazing.

Liquid lyricism. Bold beats. Wonderful Wutang.

Need to listen to this one more. Liked it more than I expected to going in.

Masterful use of samples. Rhymes effortless.

Better than I expected it to be

Earworms coming out the wazoo. That last song is so damn sweet it hurts, reminds me of I'm Sticking With You by Velvet Underground.

That feeling when 38 minutes feels like 3 hours. Yyyyyyyaaaaawwwwwnnnnnnzzzzzzzz

RIP Kurt. Amazing performances from all throughout. Nirvana on top form.

Some nice grooves on here.

Gloriously barmy. I love every second of this nutty LP.

Great album.

A pleasant enough listen. Nothing more, nothing less.

Repetitive, meditative. Made for a pleasant work commute. Probably won't listen ever again but don't feel like I wasted the time.

Well, Traffic rock. Loved it.

This album has everything anyone could ever want or need from one of the tightest bands ever recorded. Amazing from start to finish. Not a second wasted. Perfect.

Rock On Tommy

Insipid

Reggae reggae sauce.

Groove Is In The Heart does all the heavy lifting on this snoozefest of an album.

Pleasant sounds for a morning commute. Classics are classics for a reason.

I feel like this is a grower. The slower paced tracks let it down a bit for me. Voice is amazing.

Bit of a bitch to get through, that Bitches Brew.

My kinda music.

This album should come with a hearing damage warning. That cheering at the start near burst my eardrums. Great album

I feel like I could grow to really love this album.

Prefer the punk parts to the meandering bits.

Some outrageous bars on this. Classic

Eclectic

Went on for a bit longer than it needed to, both individual songs and album as a whole. Liked it a lot but it could have done with some trimming, imo.

Divine indeed

Groovy

Classic metal.

Meh

Metal masterpiece

Some good stuff woven into the mix. Seemed like it went on longer than it had to.

Wonderful.

They call it madness.

Not my favourite hip hop record. Good though.

Took me a few days to take it all in. Some great songs on this.

This album isn't always an easy listen, but it is near the top of greatest of all time lists for a reason. Brilliant from start to finish. It's not easy banging your head against some mad buggers wall.

Loved the second half more than the first. The instrumental was the best track on here. Will likely check out some more from them.

I'd somehow managed to dismiss Snoop as a features rapper and had never listened to a full album of his. Big big huge mistake. Hip hop at its finest.

I actually prefer the songs where they aren't rapping, as great as those are. The instrumentals are off the charts. Another album I criminally neglected til now. This project is turning up some real gems for me so far.

Rocks like a mf from start to finish.

The covers felt unnecessary and the originals aren't essential listening either, imo.

This is a rock masterpiece. Classic Bowie. Love every bit of it. RIP DB

Expected to like this. Some nice grooves and interesting noises but most of the songs felt like they went on a bit too long.

Title track is good but all the others are better. Guess I like Paul McCartney. Who knew?

A nice little album. Not earth shattering, but close to it.

I keep expecting to like NY, but so far have found his work to be a tad self indulgent.

Beautiful wee album. Perfection.

Nothing to dislike here.

The Bland strikes again.

Reminds me of the Trashcan Sinatras. This isn't a bad thing.

Sub par punk from the guy who sued Negativland.

Liked this one. Great stuff.

Hard rock done by the masters.

So many albums and bands inspired by this record. Some good riffs on here even if the production is ropey at best. Well deserves its place on the list.

Pleasant enough. Won't ever listen to this again.

Can smell the cigar smoke and whisky. Glorious.

Stunning work of art.

Delightfully bonkers

Double albums don't get much better than this.

Another brilliant beatles album. Total coincidence that last sentence spells out ABBA.

Fuck Thatcher.

Stunning debut. Well deserved five stars

What a wonderful album.

Groovin indeed.

Liked this one. A pleasant morning commute made a little better.

What a voice.

Everybody wants to rule the world. They very nearly did.

Another day, another Morrissey album. Nothing to write home about. Some good songs.

Zzzzzzzz all these songs just drone on and oooonnnnn. First album that I truly don't understand why it's on this list. Didn't need to hear this at all. Wish I could give it no stars.

A pretty solid album. Second half let it down a bit imo.

Apparently I'm a ZZ Top fan. Who knew?

Some interesting songs but nothing I'd revisit in a hurry

Besides the ones I already knew this album seems quite forgettable.

Everyone talks about OK Computer. And I understand why that is. But man, this album is such a good damn vibe.

Sometimes experimental albums are amazing and sometimes they are garbage. This is somewhere in between.

'Skip' indeed. Boooooringggggg.....

Rock N Roll.

Wonderfully eclectic. Another band I had never heard of til doing this. Another easy five stars.

Deep. Purple.

Meh.

Oh my soul.

Can't quite think what to say about this. Blew my mind a wee bit. Nice one

Gonna see Liam perform this for it's 30 anniversary soon. Looking forward to it. Amazing album

Better than the South Park version

From the first riffs on War Pigs to the last notes of Faries Wear Boots, this album is perfection. The ultimate metal masterpiece. Timeless.

Punktastic

Pretty solid album all round. Somenice guitar tones.

Beautiful.

Great live album. I'm usually not a big fan of live LPs but this well earns its place on the list.

Nice Sunday afternoon music.

Well, I'll be jiggered. There it is... Negativland made me familiar with a particular song on this album. Taken in its proper context the song is great and so is the album. 5 stars is VERY STUPID, VERY STUPID, and who gives a shit?

Guitar jangly yumminess

Niiiice

A nice little album, but for me at least rather forgettable.

Grooooovy maaaaan

Seminal hip hop album. Love the mix of jazz etc. Kendrick on top form.

Nah

I stood on dog shit while listening to this. It's not Sarah's fault of course. I don't really like standing on dog shit it messes up my nice leopard print trainers. I was less angry than usual cos this woman sings so beautifully. She gets an answer extra star for that. Sue me.

Really liked this one. Very 80s but that's not always a bad thing.

This was a really really pleasant surprise. Amazing album.

This album didn't really do it for me. Extra star for her voice

Plastic soul Bowie is it my favourite Bowie. Still Bowie though, and still great.

Some good stuff in there, but not enough to maintain interest. Was glad it was over by the end.

California Dreaming is sublime. Rest I could take or leave.

I know Miles Davis is one of the greatest etc etc yada yada but this stuff just boooooores me so.... Shoot me I guess. Grudging 2 stars

Passed the time. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. MOR for me.

Bit too dad rock for me. Wasn't bad but wasn't great either.

Fuck yeah. I had to assemble this in YouTube and include live versions. This shit rocks though. Might try to pick it up on vinyl at some point. Unexpected greatness.

Maybe this was the shit in the 70s. Listening over 50 years later I'm just not feeling it.

God bless Shane McGowan.

Meh

REM are the band that KEEPS giving. I love their big hits and even know some deeper cuts but haven't ever deep dived into their early catalogue. This album fucking ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

Wowsers. Never really bothered to check out Patti. Will need to rectify that.

Pretty solid dance album.

Wish I could give this 6 stars. Honestly perfect album. Covers did so well they sound like originals. Wowsers.

Stevie Wonder. Nuff said really.

As much as I adore Nick and even though there are a few good songs on this, I just can't give it full marks. Few too many dull moments for me personally.

Meh

Hail.

Didn't really like this all that much.

Give it away now

Meanders it's merry way.

Their greatest work so far. Love every second of this.

Some ok bars on this. Not my favourite rapper or album.

Boooooringggggg.

Some great songs on here, just not quite enough of them for five stars.

That last piano tune was stunning. Enjoyed this a LOT more than I expected to.

It's all dark.

An extra point just for being Scottish.

Started off OK, thought this may turn the tide of low jazz scores but sadly didn't last. Probably my most liked jazz album so far, but can't justify any more than 3 stars (and feel like it's bordering on 2 tbh). Just as well today is a good day.

Stripped back and all the better for it. The Boss bossing it.

Another unexpected brilliant album. The story telling on this puts me in mind of Taylor Swift. I love a song that tells a tale.

Any album that has Phil Daniels talking about the dirty pigeons gets an automatic five stars from me.

Beautiful

Not for me

Pretty good punk.

A pleasant enough listen.

Nice voices. Got a bit repetitive after a while.

Meh

Rocks like a motherfucker

Listened because I had to. Won't be repeating the experience ever again.

Song at the end is beautiful. Title track a work of sheer genius. Middle bits were so so.

Sheer unadulterated brilliance.

Could've done with a fair bit of trimming.

Plods along merrily with a few stand out tracks.

Not too shabby.

Seems like maybe he needed Paul after all

Some good stuff in here. Extra star just for Nick Cave and Jarvis Cocker.

Dragged a bit.

Had high hopes for this one but it didn't live up to them sadly.

Raw indeed. Love it.

Yet another jazz album I didn't like.

Arguably the birth of heavy metal. Definitely a motherfucking beast of an album.

Brilliant album. David Byrne is something else.

It was a classic when it released and still a classic now.

Courtney Love doing what she does best. Amazing.

Some nice hip hop.

Punk as fuck

Every minute felt like an hour.

Meh

Average set of songs

Speaks to my soul.

Sheer aural bliss

I'd give this six stars if I could. Hip hop done by one of its finest groups. Amazing.

Yes, more of this please.

Quite liked this one

Now this Eno I can vibe with.

Schwonderful.

It's all sounding really great, let's fuck with everyone's head and inexplicably put bloody jaw harp underneath it all.....

What a voice. Arrangements very sparse. All in all a great album.

Meh

An OK album

Nice one Bob

Great songs sung well. Wonderful story telling.

Cock rock

Grunge at its finest.

Rocks like a mother sucker.

A swansong from one of the greatest artists to have ever lived. RIP DB.

Glorious pop songs.

Legendary

A load of tree hugging hippy crap.

Love Steinman. OTT rock clichés ftw.

Sinatra sings well, obviously. Most of these songs are just not really my bag though.

Not as good as the other REM albums I've listened to. Still pretty good though.

Liked it more than the Lennon solo album. The instrumentals were really good. No offence to Paul's voice, but I preferred the bits he wasn't singing on.

Avoided a moral dilemma with this by listening to the original version on vinyl. My wife is way more of a Swiftie than I am, but this is a damn good album.

Simply Wonderful. Upbeat pop punk at its finest.

This is quite a lot of Dylan. I mean the last track is 16 straight minutes of him "talking to myself in a monologue" fuck me those are actually lyrics in this mammoth track. Having said that, it's also fuckin Dylan. GOAT.

Knopfler rules.

Great musicianship but this shit is really not my bag at all

Life is too short to spend it listening to these loooong and mostly boring songs.

Passed the time. Nice voice. MOR.

Great guitar chops. My kinda music.

RIP FZ. Great album, especially Peaches En Regalia

These guys were definitely seeing trails. There is a cliche that some of the best music is made by people on drugs. Sometimes that can be very true. For this album, that popular Verve song springs to mind. Didn't work for this album

Perfect voice. Perfect tunes. Perfect album.

Another perfect album. Bonus version of (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman from yesterday's album. Nice one.

MOR grunge

Ragged Glory indeed. Just what I needed this morning.

Wanted to like this more. Just a bit too slow paced for my tastes. Still some great songs.

Bang bang. Fucking brilliant. Vaguely aware of her but glad I got thrown into this one today. Great stuff.

Not at all what I was expecting. I'm a fan of his work with Velvet Underground, but not really listened to his solo material. Thought it would be more experimental. Not complaining, this is another belter.

Pretty decent hip hop.

Some good songs in there but it got a bit bogged down in its tweeness by the end.

Perfect music to read Guardians of the Galaxy with.

Dull beats and dull instrumentals make Dave a not very happy boy.

Yeah, it's Queen. Expected better from this to be honest. Maybe I'm just jaded.

I know I supposed to hate this. It's vapid, loud, obnoxious, rap rock. Not done that well, but on the other hand it is a great example of a damn near perfect blend of genres. It's like if Vanilla Ice had preferred Guns N Roses to Queen. Fuck it, I love this shit.

I love that deep crooning voice.

Another four

A Tower Records No Risk Disc back in the day.

Truly a masterpiece. Blew away the cobwebs of a Thursday morning. Amazing.

Not bad. A fun album.

Took me back to when I was a kid, listening to this in vjnyl through headphones. Over and over, learning every hee hee and shamoan.... How could I score it any lower?

Swan song from the Man in Black. Poingnant and poetic. Perfection.

Not bad, but jot great either.

Brilliant stuff. Got a few laughs from his dialogue during the show too.

No grey area here. Solid five star performance.

More pish from the Cure.

Better than Imagine.

Not a bad album. Nice tunes.

I don't mind this more chilled and experimental Skunk Ananse. Would have likely have been 5 stars if it was Paranoid and Sunburnt.

Made my morning commute a bit more pleasant. Was aware of the band but had never listened to this album. Nice one.

In some cultures a funeral is a celebration. In Arcade Fire world it is a MOR LP.

Brightened up a dull rainy morning. Not exactly my cuppa coffee but wasn't at all bad.

I listened to this while playing Mad Max and it fit pretty well. This is abrasive, nasty grindcore before there even was such a thing. It isn't the best ND album but listening to it again I have to say it isn't as bad as most reviews will say it is. My neighbours probably hate me because I liked it so much I also listened to the Full Dynamic range version to see if I noticed a difference. I didn't but this is a great album.

Outlaw music. Makes me wanna shoot a gun and chew some baccy.

Willie goes all Sinatra n shit. Shit being the operative word.

Not live and not all that dangerous either.

Can't say I hated it, but I didn't love it either.

Funky.

Used to have this on CD back in the day. Singles are etched into my brain. Forgot how good the rest of it is. I may indeed have come a long way, baby, but my musical tastes haven't changed in the 25 years since this came out. Fatboy is fucking in heaven and so am I.

I know this is supposed to be a classic, but man does this record put me to sleep at times.

Pop Perfection.

Another gem from the Thin White Duke. I'll admit I'm a little biased, but boy does this album kick ass.

I honestly try so hard to like jazz, but it's few and far between the jazz albums I can hear and actually enjoy. This had some juice moments but too few sadly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah....

Here I am, not quite dying. My body left to rot in a hollow tree. It's branches throwing shadows on the gallows for me. And the next day, and the next, and another day. RIP BOWIE

The Tyrds.

The bits with Thom Yorke were pretty good. Floaty dreamy kinda sound.

My kinda music. Loved this. A very nice long bus journey to work. Perfect accompaniment for reading Flash comics. Really enjoyed.

Was OK.

Hip hop masterpiece.

Another day, another three star album

Fuck da police

When I first hit play I thought YouTube Music had somehow managed to cue up the wrong album. Then I heard Elvis' unmistakable voice and realised it's that rare beast: an upbeat Costello LP. I really like this. Maybe I should make an effort to listen to more of his stuff. I do tend to enjoy what I hear generally from him.

Another amazing album from an artist I'd never heard of. Some great guitar tones on this.

Psychedelic pink perfection.

Very tempting indeed. Love Run Charlie Run.

This was my entry album to Metallica, and to thrash metal. I rented it on cassette and remember being shocked but captivated by what I heard. By this point this LP is ingrained in my blood. I listened again because who needs an excuse to listen to Justice?

Bjork will go on to do much more interesting things. This is still pretty solid though.

Jazz gubbins

80s gubbins

I don't think I'd want to hang around this corner for too long. Stone Coles Shit.

Boy can rap. Nice beats too. Solid hip hop album.

Wasn't sure of this at first then the more I listened the more it grew on me. Will definitely be listening again.

Experimental, mad and audacious. All of this with Zappa production. Love it.

This is how a country album should be done. A banjo, an acoustic and a great voice. An understated masterpiece. This is the kind of thing I wanted to find going through this list.

Meh.

Perhaps went on a little too long but I won't hold that against it. Brilliant album in the main. Loved it.

Not for me.

Dylan being Dylan. What's not to like?

A bit too bland for my tastes, sorry Stevie.

My kinda jam

Not sure I was in the right mood for this album. It is fantastic however. Voice of an angel and some wonderful songwriting.

Hurray for Dolly!

Dancing in the sand.

Like early Sabbath. Loved it.

I've got better things to do with my time than listen to extended bongo cover versions. I'll give it a couple points for some interesting percussion but this is one of these rare ones where I gonna call it done after the fourth song.

John Lydon is a bit of an arse. This album is the shit though.

This album is nucking futs.

Cool beats. Mellow but nice.

Just another funky radical bomb track.

Just for one day.

My favourite Elvis.

Yes, I really do want it darker.

Another classic from REM

Pop Perfection.

Not for me.

Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on....

Tried to listen to this all the way through four times now. It's just so boooooooring. Not for me

Every time I get a jazz album I think this'll be the one where the genre clicks. This was not that album. Reminds me of some of the Zappa jazz shit that I like, but ultimately this is just not doing it for me.

Took me a whole to listen to this in full. Wasn't hitting at first but actually it's pretty good.

Say what you will about Adele, her voice is amazing and her albums are immaculate.

Felt a bit flat to me. Good but not great.

Prefer Minor Threat.

Soul sublime. Brilliant.

More than More Than A Feeling.

That funky Cypress Hill shit.

Third self titled album in a row. Queen Bee slays as usual.

I must confess to dismissing the Arctic Monkeys as just another indie band. This album is full of witty lyrics and some wonderful guitar playing. Top marks from me.

This one was weird in a mostly good way.

I usually quite like Suede but this album ain't it.

Dreamy. Love it.

I still have a little piece of a radiation suit that was torn off and thrown into crowd at a Devon gig. This band was something else live. Great album to kick off the day with.

Metallica. An orchestra. Now That's What I Call Five Star Music

Grew up listening to this

Protest songs by the protest singer.

I'd instinctively say that I much prefer their disco shit, but this album is pretty damn good actually

My dad once said that Queen were a singles band and didn't hold up well over a full album. Hate to admit he was kinda right. This album isn't bad, but it's not as great as their greatest can be.

Not bad but not great.

Meh

Rock N Roll Ain't Noise Pollution.

Nine songs in his voice is grating on my ears.

Bored me to tears

Old skool hip hop. Was OK I guess

I must admit, when I saw an Outkast double album clocking in at over 2 hours I wasn't overly optimistic. So glad to be proven wrong. This is probably best taken in as 2 separate albums like I did. Banger after banger after banger. Liked The Love Below slightly more mostly for the best version of My Favourite Things I've ever heard.

I usually like noise etc, but this did nothing for me.

Good ole Lenny, good ole LP.

That voice is mesmerising, who knew I quite like folk.

Classic album.

Classic rock.

Smile indeed I did. All the way through this glorious LP.

Not really my thing

Total snooze fest

Not bad but not great either.

Fair to middling.

Wonderful stuff from one of the greatest British bands.

Heard worse and heard better

Started off good, then got a lil dull.

Not as depressing as I thought it was going to be. Still not really my thing overall.

The good bits are great, the rest is so so.

Breezed on by nicely.

Trippy stuff.

The Other King.

Old skool hip hop hitting hard still.

Pretty Pretty good good album album.

Wonderful stuff. Chill and serine.

Sublime.

Finally a jazz record I really love.

Man, I could write a whole essay about how good this album is. The rhymes, the beats, the lyrics. Besides another rapper named Ice and one called Hammer this was my introduction to proper rap music. Rented this from the library back when you had to actually buy music to hear it. Since purchased on vinyl which is unfortunately not the full album. May not be for everybody but this shit is my jam.
