Really not my cup of tea. Very offensive to my ears and could not finish.
Every song sounded the same
Brian Eno

Started off very strong and I could see why Brian Eno is so influential, some of the songs sounded quite Animal Collective-y, then it got quite weird and not that cohesive. Still a solid album.
N.W.A.

So much energy and such a great opening to an album! Rest of the album a bit difficult to live up to the opening but still v cool.

5/5
Such a good psych pop/rock album, v reminiscent of the flaming lips!
I listened to this a lot back in the day when I read about it in an NME magazine (it was my friend's dad's and I picked it up cos it was about Kasabian) the mag had a feature about the 10 year re release of this cult album which intrigued me. This sound was v up my street. I especially liked goddess on a hiway, holes and opus 40, top tracks
3/5
Quite a fun album with some filler songs
The Police

Lots of different sounds which was a bit of a surprise, but sometimes they went too weird - Mother. Enjoyed wrapped around your finger. Has a bit of a 60s sound that Animal Collective want to imitate
