The College Dropout by Kanye West
Oct 27 2023

Suprisingly good. Much more melodic and lyrically interesting than I expected. A new down load from me.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 28 2023

The melodies are at times sweet and other times rough, juxtaposed with Young's unique vocals gives this album an unmistakable sound.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Oct 29 2023

This has funk, soul and blues. Infact a possibilty of 500 types of the blues!

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Oct 30 2023

Vocally spot on. Sweet voice, pitch perfect. Musically, tight and melodic. What lets this album down is there is almost no veriation in the tracks. Because of this I found it to be a dull album.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Oct 31 2023

Not being a Jazz guy my initial thoughts on hearing this album is 'What a racket!'. But from a jazz perspective, I recognise the skillful use of jazz chord progression, use of scales and the complicated beat. Despite all of this my first statement of not being a jazz guy still holds truth for me. If I never hear this album again it will be a bonus.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 01 2023

Just sublime. Perfectly crafted with the all time classic Wish You Were Here. All knitted together with the beats from Mason, and the sublime tone from Gilmour. A well crafted album telling the greed of the music industry.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Nov 02 2023

A rather upbeat cheery album. Even the last track mentioning voilence to women?! Not as psychedelic as I was aticipating but that isn't a subraction. Overall a pleasant listen but with nothing which stands out.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Nov 03 2023

Musically spot on, giving a feeling of nostalgia in places and in others uplifting whilst still being able to be melancholic. The quirky lyrics; which in the title track Sail Away could be thoughtbof as racist; are delivered with Newman's Disney recognisable voice. Heavily American and too sickly sweet for me.

American Pie by Don McLean
Nov 05 2023

A thoughtful album full of deep sad lyrics. The tempo never really gets above grass growing speeds. But there are times when that is what is required. So this may not be an album for everyday listening, but those times when love has gone, crops haven't grown and your dog has died then this is the album you need.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Nov 08 2023

A bit 'samey' all the way through to my ears. But in little chunks it's pleasant enough.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Nov 09 2023

Country music has evolved so much and has left this album so far behind it could be buried with a stegosaurus!

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Nov 10 2023

Just awful whining to my ears. And then knowing the comments he has gone on to make, force this album straight into the fire pit of doom!

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Nov 15 2023

This band has a loyal following but they're boring to me.
