Rush · 6 likes

1/5

Couldn't do it, made it about half way through the first track and wanted to jam a rusty knife down my earhole

Thriller

5/5

Shamone. Phenomenal. Paul McCartney does his best to ruin the funk on that one track but still a solid 5 stars.

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

More metal-influenced than I remember. Not their strongest album, but second half is definitely better. Hasn't aged particularly well. No real bangers, aside from maybe Hang Wire

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

Two of the catchiest singles of all time, but not wall-to-wall bangers like some of the later albums. Fair amount of filler.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

5/5

Actual music

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

I can't tell if the fact they're as good live now as they were then is a good thing or a terrible thing, but I'm not in my sixties so I don't really give a fuck.

The Predator

Ice Cube

4/5

almost half the album is skits but yeah he had bars on this one

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

All over the place. Bangers mixed with absolute dross. 4 stars for lack of coherence and the fact the mix is muddy af. Rocky Raccoon underrated, Helter Skelter still slaps hard, and the album at least inspired some good Simpsons jokes.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

1/5

some nice post-colonial lyrics can't save this from being absolute tripe

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

pretty guff I'll be honest. Best thing about it is dat ass on the album cover

New Wave

The Auteurs

4/5

Never heard of these before but really enjoyed this tbf

The xx

2/5

Let's be real, everyone only ever listens to "intro" and "crystallised," the rest is forgotten.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

2/5

Not my cuppa but p easy on the ears

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Better than I remember actually, but was the remastered version. Some girls is still the one for me tho.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

2/5

The bars are ok but the music sounds like what might have happened if you'd left me alone with the presets on one of those old keyboards in music lessons. Just cos you can stereo-pan doesn't mean you should always do it.

The Nightfly

Donald Fagen

2/5

Pretty bad. Would be good in a lift. Proper muzak

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

loved it

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

Nowhere near as pyschedelic as the horrific cover art suggests. Reminiscent of the Beach Boys and the Kinks, this is pleasant, jangly chamber-pop. I was quite bored throughout.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

3/5

Enjoyed more than I remembered enjoying it but still not a huge fan.

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

2/5

wtf is this? tonally all over the place. muzacky, jazzy electronica but mostly an incoherent mess.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

goat hip hop

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

4/5

great
