Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

I was surprised to actually really like this album. The first two tracks were standouts but the whole thing was enjoyable.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

I was surprised I knew so many of these songs. Track 1,2 and 5 I've heard bunch but almost never think about. Didn't like the weird marimba percussion half way though but overall good album, would listen again.

Fragile

Yes

2/5

Not a huge fan of this. A lot of the tracks have cool bits but the lack of any meaningful lyrical direction was a miss for me. There wasn't a single track that really was good all the way through.

Come Away With Me

Norah Jones

1/5

This was the first time I wanted to stop listening. Found the first half fundamentally boring hotel lobby music. Some of the later songs are slightly better. The piano heavy songs in particular were tiresome.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

1/5

Well Track 3 sounded like the pre-made track in a cheap keyboard with someone in the next room whispering over it... Boring.

Pretenders

4/5

I liked this one. Would listen again.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

2/5

Ok background music. I'll probably not listen again. A "once is enough" album for sure.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

3/5

Fun and interesting. A bit weird to be an instant classic but I suspect with a few listens it'll grow on me.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

3/5

Not my scene but pretty fun. I liked all the shoutouts, very funny to start an album with someone introducing you.

Adele

4/5

Pretty catchy, enjoyable listen. Knew a lot already and didn't overstay it's welcome.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

Good background music. Too much talking on the recording but it was nice enough.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

I feel like I already heard the best don't on the album "Bad Moon Rising", which is great, but nothing else really reached that height.

Felt Mountain

Goldfrapp

3/5

I was expecting high energy electropop and got low energy electropop. Not a big fan but it's was listenable.

Junkyard

The Birthday Party

4/5

My kind of terrible

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

2/5

Not very interesting. Faded into the background.

1999

Prince

2/5

I liked the two songs I'd heard before. But the rest was not really doing it for me.

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

The Kinks

4/5

I really liked this one. Stories were fun, music was bouncy.

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

90s videogame menu music except some New York guy talks every so often. Got kind of an ambient background quality. Unlikely to listen again.

Devo

4/5

Fun and weird. Did enjoy.

Morrison Hotel

4/5

I enjoyed this one and knew a few of the songs.

It was good. Not my favourite Bowie but still good.

Kraftwerk

2/5

Fahn Fahn Fahn of the Autobahn.

Planet Rock: The Album

Hawkwind

3/5

Overly long but still listenable. Weirdo space rants were funny.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

This band has come a bit in recommended for me before. I liked it, worth investigating more.

3/5

It was fine. I was expecting great things because I've never really listened to them before but it didn't really live up.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

2/5

Not my scene, kinda boring.

4/5

It's good, reminds me of high school

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Weird and sort of catchy.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

3/5

First track was good. The rest was a bit meh, the vocals it's not quite the mark for me. For this tempo I want it to be much heavier, or for this lightness I want it much faster.

3/5

Way more fahn than the Autobahn

Ctrl

SZA

4/5

Not my usual, but it was a pleasant surprise.

Songs about sad hippy relationships. It was weirdly enjoyable.

2/5

3/5

It was a bit of fun, probably not the best in genre though.

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4/5

I liked this a lot more than I expected and it's similar to the stuff Spotify seems to suggest to me but I don't think I've ever heard this before.

Fast and bulbous. Tight also.

Crossing the Red Sea With the Adverts

The Adverts

4/5

I liked this one, very listenable

Casanova

4/5

This was a wild ride. Not sure what it is but it sounded like a comedy album but wasn't particularly funny.

2/5

I didn't get much out of this one. Pretty boring
