All Ratings

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

5/5

Nice and chill. Would be good to play on a lazy summer day.

Tracy Chapman

2/5

It was OK. Would be happy to have on in the background but wouldn't purposefully seek it out.

Yes

Average. Would not listen again.

Come Away With Me

1/5

Average. Who's picking these? It was so boring.

Pretenders

4/5

Solid album.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

3/5

It was very chill and easy to listen to. I could happily have that playing in the background as I pottered around the house.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

4/5

It was a fun album. The songs were pretty catchy and I could imagine myself listening again. Some songs were a bit repetitive but that's not the end of the world. I quite liked Petty (thief) Lout. Reminded me a little of the Cramps and the Doors if they were a mash up.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

It was alright, but I probably wouldn't listen to it again.

Adele

5/5

Hello, I loved it! What a set of pipes and a good album to sing along to.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

The Duke! Was a great album, loved the peak back into history and made for an easy afternoon of listening.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Was a lot better than I was expecting. Would never have sought it out on my own but would listen again.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

5/5

Very much my vibe. Would definitely listen again.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

2/5

It was not that great. Nick Cave has better music out there.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

It was meh, I probably would not listen again.

1999

Prince

3/5

It was fun! I'd listen to it again if it came up but not sure how often I'd seek it out.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

4/5

This was a lot of fun. Like a mashup between the Beatles and Monty python. Very whimsical.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

That was a meh for me. Soundtrack vibes for bad 90s movies.

Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo

Devo

3/5

About what I expected from Devo. Was fun but not sure if I'd go back to it.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

5/5

Love the doors. Hadn't listened to the full album before but I'm happy I've done so now.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

2/5

Was not what I expected at all. Pretty underwhelming.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

It was Bowie so it was good, but not his best. Still had fun.

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

1/5

I didn't care for it.

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

2/5

It was like if Eddie Murphy and The Beastie Boys were asked to make a soundtrack for a Muppets movie. What a wild ride.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

1/5

Ummm it was a thing. It was not my thing.

Doolittle

Pixies

3/5

Would listen again.

Led Zeppelin

3/5

It was decent, could hear how it influenced a lot of early heavy metal. Liked some of the blues references as well.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

3/5

Very chill. Would be suited to a nice bar or a quiet evening in.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Took me back to the uni days. Was a nice reminder and they mostly hold up.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

4/5

Was a lot better than I was expecting. Was fun and will listen again.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

2/5

Well it was marginally better than the last Kraftwerk album we had to listen to. I could at least see myself playing this in the background as I worked.

Ctrl

SZA

1/5

Not my cup of tea. Nice voice but overall it didn't rate for me.

Reign In Blood

Slayer

1/5

It was a little too intense for me. Felt like there was no time to breathe or think. Just overwhelming.

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

4/5

I liked it. Couple of classics I was surprised to hear. Would like to listen again, makes for a nice summer album

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

2/5

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

3/5

Was fun to listen to. Spent the whole time imagining couples dancing together on summer days. Felt like an implanted nostalgia.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

It was a nice album to have as background music. Was easy to listen to and I could see it being a great accompaniment to an old fashioned in a chill bar.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Like a bit of experimental Bowie.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

It was fine but um, where were the bells? I was promised bells! And there nothing was tubular about it!

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

4/5

I unfairly judged the cover and didn't think I'd like this album but there was a lot to like about it and some of the tracks were very much my vibe.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

It was ok. Would probably have it on the background.

Fleet Foxes

5/5

Again and again and again. I will always love Fleet Foxes.

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

It was pretty subpar for me

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

It was fun, heard a lot of song I recognised but didn't know where they'd come from. Some tracks made me feel like I was watching film credits over and over again, however.

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Will always invoke surrealism and introspection. Lovely album.

Ananda Shankar

2/5

Average at best.

Fun House

The Stooges

2/5

Other artists out there doing the same music better.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

2/5

Was ok. Recognised some songs. Others were a bit meh.

Various Artists

5/5

Loved this! This will be my new Christmas album moving forward.

Crazysexycool

TLC

2/5

Jason waterfalls was the only standout song on the album.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Beautiful voice. Such a loss.

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it. Made me think of Jack Black doing a Dio impersonation.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

Poets they are not, but I love the RHCP!

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

3/5

Was a bit of fun.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

3/5

I didn't mind it. A good mindless working album.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

3/5

It was nothing astounding but it was a nice album to have on.

Remain In Light

Talking Heads

3/5

Did Robin Williams have a side gig with Talking Heads? Once I realised who it sounded like I couldn't shake it the whole album. Was ok.

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

Wasn't what I expected but I enjoyed it.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

I guess I always knew Ice T did more than just SVU but this was eye opening. Nice work.

Opus Dei

Laibach

4/5

I liked the second half a lot more than the first. In fact, I thought it was a different album. Would have been way more epic with a real orchestra but it was enjoyable nonetheless.

Boston

2/5

Other than the one song it was just a bit average. I felt like I was listening to a musical theatre soundtrack or something.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

I loved it! What a great album. This will definitely go into the rotation.

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

1/5

Average at best, annoying at worst.

The New Tango
