Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 12 2023
Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Oct 25 2023

Strong 3.5, enjoyed much more than i thought.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Oct 26 2023

2.5-3, Very top heavy album, falls off heavily at the end

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 27 2023

Tried the first song and thought no ty

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 30 2023

I'd say in reality it's a 4-4.5 so am being positive with the rating. Springsteen holds a lot of nostalgia for me and his song writing and expression strikes a chord that elevates his music a great deal. Racing in the Street is a particular highlight but not a bad song on the album.

The White Album by Beatles
Oct 31 2023

Some real classics on this album but it's so bloated by so much other random stuff it makes it a difficult listen.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Nov 01 2023

Couple of half decent song but kind of just meanders along without really doing anything. Not bad music but does nothing for me.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Nov 02 2023

Perfectly decent music but feels overlong, samey lacking in standout moments. The Weight is the clear highlight. 2-2.5

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 07 2023

2.5-3. Enjoyable album, Black Magic Woman the clear highlight. Lacking other standout moments but enjoyable music nonetheless

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Nov 10 2023

Not listened to King Crimson before but this doesn't really do anything for me at all, which is surprising because going in I was quite excited to try them.

Nov 17 2023

3.5, would probably go up to 4 with further listens. Very intricate album with much more coherence than a lot of the older prog rock i've heard. First song is clear highlight for me

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 20 2023

3.5, Good solid album, very repetitive but enjoyable to blast through nonetheless. Another one of those where if you look in terms of significance of the album, has to be a 5/5, but shows its age quite severely nowadays.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 21 2023

3.5-4: Similar vibe to the Ramones album but with a bit more to it, some duds later on can't spoil it. Enjoyed more than i expected

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 22 2023

3.5 Enjoyable album, tracks melded together a bit but overall very enjoyable if you want something of a lower pace and bit of a melancholy vibe. Wandering Star the standout.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Nov 28 2023

One of the easiest 5/5 i'll ever give. Every song is top drawer. All time classic.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Nov 30 2023

4/5 Really enjoyable listen, can't keep the quality of the big hits throughout but still really solid.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Dec 01 2023

Got 4 songs in and said nah i'm alright

Dec 04 2023

3.5/5. I have a soft spot for The Smiths as my Mum is a big fan. Enjoyable album

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Dec 08 2023

3.75/5: Enjoyable album, some really big hits on here and the album tracks can't keep up but still really solid.
