Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

Nice to hear some more Punk music. Good album, doesn't overstay it's welcome as an EP. Always surprised to see this kind of music was a thing that early on.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

All Ratings

L.A. Woman

The Doors

3/5

I mean Riders On The Storm is a certified banger. The rest wasn't really my style, too much of the same doodly melodies of the 70s.The Blusie stuff is well done but not for me. Overall solid album but I fail to see what it brought to the table to make it one of the best.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Yeah it's pretty good, I kinda want to give it 4 stars but I don't see myself listening to it again so 3 it is. Very groovy at times and emotional attitudes others.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

I think there's a lot here, this has potential. Replace the singer with someone, who can actually sing and this might be a 4. But my god can Bob Dylan just not sing... Had to stop after 45 minutes, it's just too much.

Parachutes

Coldplay

5/5

Very nice album, refreshing listen after the older stuff throughout the week. There's also a clear difference between Coldplay then and now. Even though I like their newer upbeat stuff, they absolutely nail the sad and dreary.

Iron Maiden

4/5

I liked it, not a huge fan of the "newer" Iron Maiden albums but this one was very enjoyable. Not too over the top. All around very solid if a little too mundane.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Very nice, ended up listening to Strangelove a couple of times. The instrumentilisation of Depeche Mode is always so cool and ahead of it's time. Most tracks were good but not absolutely groundbreaking though. Overall great album.

All Directions

The Temptations

2/5

Not really my thing. There's some good stuff here though. Just not my cup of tea.

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

1/5

I don't know, why this is on here... I'll say it's not for me, but I genuinely don't know what would make this album special. I suppose it started a new genre? But even then it just seemed very very boring.

Trout Mask Replica

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

Very weird album. I think I am lacking some context here, and maybe I would have rated it better if I had that context. Still the album grew on me throughout. It's interesting but hard to listen to.

Let It Be

The Replacements

4/5

That was pretty good and I can see how this was very impactful at the time. Takes influences from a lot of great stuff and probably influenced other great artists aswell.

Moondance

Van Morrison

5/5

Actually really good. It grew on me a lot, especially the title track. I think that the Friday albums will always receive higher scores, as you have time to get used to them.

Liquid Swords

GZA

2/5

It wasn't bad or anything Rap is just not for me. However the older Rap and HipHop does have something cool about it and it sounds so much cleaner than the modern stuff. Interesting album, not my taste.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

It's that one album! Genuinely surprised to see this many hits on a single album. Not my cup of tea but I see the strength in this record.

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

Nice to hear some more Punk music. Good album, doesn't overstay it's welcome as an EP. Always surprised to see this kind of music was a thing that early on.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

5/5

Very good! Singing in Falsetto before it was cool.

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

2/5

I just think this kind of oldie rock 'n roll is boring. I don't know, what sets this record apart from all the other ones like it, same instrumentalisation, similar vocals.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Great album, starts to fall off around the halfway point. Still genre defining and incredibly interesting. Way ahead of it's time aswell.

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

Genuinely great music. It's nothing I'd want to actively listen to but perfect for running in the background. This is a much better ambient album than that airport ambience one from last week. Still there are some weird/annoying parts in here, that I don't quite like.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

I don't know but I have to give it a 4/5 because it was pretty good.

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

2/5

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

3/5

Not a huge fan of county but I don't mind this. It's definitely not something I'd listen to more but at least it's not as cringe as modern country music.

The Joshua Tree

4/5

Great album, definitely deserves it's praise. I just don't really feel the sad mojo right now and that is absolutely everything this album has to offer.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Cool album. I like, that it plays around with feelings and genres, not getting stuck in one but always varying.

Broken English

Marianne Faithfull

2/5

Okay why is this special? I don't really like these kinds of vocals anyways but the album seems uninteresting no matter what.

Arular

M.I.A.

2/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

I don't know... It just doesn't feel interesting to me. I swear I have heard trscks like these before on here. It's more of the same. The technical execution is really good but I don't think that would be enough on it's own to make a really great album.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Pretty good and interesting. The technical execution could be improved here and there.

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

3/5

I don't know seems like a random album, that made it's way in here.

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

1/5

I don't get it. Just because something is novel and not done before, doesn't make it artistically valuable. This does not add anything significant to music. It is an experimental album, not one of the greatest.

Modern Life Is Rubbish

Blur

4/5

Nice

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Quite chill, ain't it?

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

There are some weird tracks in here and the rest are straight up amazing. Lose the weird and annoying and this would be a 5.
