Lovely enthusiasm from the singer. The poetry is a little off putting at times, but overall the sounds flow well through the album. The first track is an absolute banger as well.

The singing is great, it’s a great singer songwriter album. Really fun music, really good at what he does. Nothing ground breaking, but any song from the album is really a good time

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

3/5

Interesting chords and wildy progressive for the time, however there isnt enough here for me to be wowed. Its some cool chords that were on the front at the time, but years later it is hard to find enjoyment in thsi when theyre are better records

Dire Straits

4/5

Great Riffs, great songs. First song and sultans of swing have incredible riffs, inaccurate vibes. The singing is kinda boring, not much special there, but not more complaints than that 4/5

Great album I thought. Great sounds, great lyrics. Only thing that’s off putting is the length, as well as the focus on Illinois

Holy Shit. I hate the 60's music. I cant, its just so boring so much of the time. The beatles are good, but goddamn everything else is so bland and boring.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

I really think I'm going to give this a 5. It just fits what I like so well. There's a great mix between slow and fast, techno and acoustic and the singing is amazing. All of the beats hit so well, and I truly adore this album

Quite long, but for the time period, what a piece of music.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

3/5

This was a weird album. Some of the sounds i can get behind, but some of the songs are so long with little change in progression. You need something to change in a song, otherwise the staleness sets in. However, the songs with singing in them, which there was only a couple of, provided the best content on the album. The singing wasn't fantastic by any means, but it added so much charatcer to the sounds they were producing. More songs should have been voice included.

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Look, its hard to judge an album when you have heard all of the songs before. I think there is a reason that I have, because many songs on this album are hits. However, when you combine them all together, it all becomes very same same. Same baseline hits, same chorus catches, same everything. These songs are great when you just want to hear a 'rock' song, but together, it is not an amazingly enjoyable experience.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

So many classics in this record. Overall, its great. Not much to say, its thriller. Biggest album of all time.

Slayed?

Slade

3/5

This was an interesting one. Coming out in 1972, that surprised me, but some of the songs on here were quite good. However, with 50 years of music after it, it has lost some of its original charm. I wasnt around then, but if i was i reckon id give it 5 stars
