Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

1/5

1001 albums to hear before you die.. I feel like death is preferable to listening to this again

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

1/5

Jim Morrison was a lazy hack convinced of his own genius. Where are the songs? I am aggrieved at having to listen to this dull collection of uninspired jams and feel like I might never be able to listen to music again. It is that bad

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Irritating vocals. Some interesting arrangements but largely dull

Back In Black

AC/DC

3/5

Basically the same big dumb macho song 10 times. But that guitar sound… 🤤

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

Meh

Liquid Swords

GZA

3/5

Strong start. Tails off towards the end. Dungeon hip hop gets a bit depressing after a while?

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

1/5

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Starts strong. Immigrant Song is awesome, Since I’ve Been Loving You even more so… shame about all the filler in the 2nd half of the album

Bone Machine

Tom Waits

4/5

Unique sound and instrumentation. Prime Tom Waits channeling Beefheart territory. Not as accessible as some other Waits albums but worth sticking with

Highly Evolved

The Vines

4/5

Gets better as it goes on! Loved it

Tank Battles

Dagmar Krause

Interesting but not for me :)

Nilsson Schmilsson

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

4/5

This is the Captain at his best. None of the Trout Mask Replica intellectual nonsense. Actual songs, with melody and a great showcase for his vocal range and dexterity. The production/ sound of every instrument on this is raw and organic- always loved the odd drum patterns in Beefhearts music. Perfect mix of accessible and experimental. That said, some of the jams towards the end are a bit tedious but overall its magic!

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

1/5

Kick Out The Jams (Live)

MC5

2/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

3/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

5/5

More consistent than III, more varied than II. Not a massive fan of the LOTR nonsense to be honest, and Stairway is kind of played out but this is a fantastic rock album for the most part - whole band firing on all cylinders. Take a shot every time Planty says ‘baby’!

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Technically I should love this album but it leaves me a bit cold. There are some objectively great songs on it but it all feels a bit “one note”. Maybe the fact that I came to it after Electric Ladyland spoiled it for me? Anyway, some beautiful psychedelic soul on here. Solid but not a knockout

Talking Heads 77

Harvest

Neil Young

1/5

I hate Neil Young and his little whiney voice. That is all

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

1/5

1001 albums to hear before you die.. I feel like death is preferable to listening to this again

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

3/5

Sonically interesting. Quite hypnotic in places. Needs repeated listening - feels like a grower… I think there’s a lot to like about it. Not fully sold on the voice but will come back to it for sure

Fleet Foxes

3/5

Parklife

Blur

3/5

It’s my era. So there’s a bit of nostalgia attached to it. It’s not painful to listen to but it’s a bit shit in places innit

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Odessa

Bee Gees
