Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

So ... what is this ?! The album seems to be all over the place in terms of tone and genre. I think it starts on "psychadelic 70's summer of love" then goes to "light goth" with some "trance 80's" and I just can't work out if I like it or not.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

1/5

This album feels like a 90's NYC hip-hop album that may appeal to many but not to me.

Don't Come Home A Drinkin' (With Lovin' On Your Mind)

All Ratings

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

2/5

Low

David Bowie

5/5

A rich tapestry of 70's funkadelic songs. Speed of Life is a slow build track that is almost a prologue for the entire album.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Absolutely superb ! An album that you can have on throughout the day that has a really warming touch. Eyes to the wind is a banger.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

A superb album that has all the teenage angst that you want on a Thursday morning (when I listened to it). Both "Secrets" and "Play For Today" are my favourite two tracks.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

Having never listened to a full Miles Davis album this didn't disappoint. If you were asked what a Miles Davis then this would be a perfect example.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

1/5

This one isnt for me. I can't agree with the language being used and it just isnt one that I will listen to again.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

3/5

Short sharp tracks that make the album feel fractured. I found it hard to follow any narrative or theme. Maybe this is one for a second play through to get more out of it.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

3/5

My first time listening to this album and Singalong Junk stands out as an easy listening track that wouldn't go amiss in an early 1990's rom com film. Overall the album was well paced and accessible, but it left me wanting just that little bit more.

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

2/5

It didn't set my heart on fire.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

2/5

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

Easy listening. Anything spectacular? No. All brilliant tracks to have on in the background? Yes.

Veckatimest

Grizzly Bear

3/5

Two Weeks is the obvious banger, on this album, but I wasnt aware of the other bits from Grizzly. I enjoyed Ready, Able too.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

5/5

"Broken" is criminally underatted, I feel. This album was a true 80's classic and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

2/5

I couldn't really get a foot tap to any of the songs. All perfectly fine but nothing that wanted me to explore the catalogue any more.

John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band

John Lennon

1/5

Too "in itself" for me. It would have been a stalwart of its time (and just after) but there is no specific track that sets me alight.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

The Healer

John Lee Hooker

3/5

An album that gets the foot tapping. Works for me :)

Oedipus Schmoedipus

Barry Adamson

4/5

One Nation Under A Groove

Funkadelic

2/5

Unfortunately this isnt one for me. It got the toes tapping but was, instantly, forgettable. Although I will try some others from the same artist.

2/5

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

1/5

This album feels like a 90's NYC hip-hop album that may appeal to many but not to me.

Aftermath

2/5

I hate to say it, but I just coudn't get into the album. It seemed disjointed, to me.

5/5

My youth, University, early romance, nights out, driving lessons. This album really brings it all back !

Motörhead

3/5

A tad heavy for me, at parts. But there were some classic tunes in there.

GREY Area

Little Simz

1/5

Neon Bible

4/5

Superb stuff. Black Mirror is hugely underatted.

I'm not 100% sure that all the tracks hit my high notes, but there is enough there to keep me entertained and keep my foot tapping.

1/5

This shouty, angry, stick two fingers up at everyone type of music is a full 180 on what I would normally enjoy.
