To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar

Top 5 rap album all time. Incredible instrumentation and well communicated story that links back to the poem at the end of the album. I find something new every time I put this on

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Nov 02 2023

Excellent blend of pop and a more experimental sound. Some really strong highs but a few forgettable tracks. Run for your life hasn’t aged well.

Nov 03 2023

Enjoyed the use of strings to thicken up the sound and add an interesting flourish. Instrumentation kept me interested throughout. A pretty amazing range of rock styles, band sounds dialled at this point. I’m sorry that I hadn’t dug into REM sooner

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 06 2023

Top 5 rap album all time. Incredible instrumentation and well communicated story that links back to the poem at the end of the album. I find something new every time I put this on

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 07 2023

Seems to lose direction at points and can suffer from a lack of structure. Production is clean and has some nice high points, but not enough is pulling me back for another listen

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Nov 08 2023

Excellent vocal performance, great riffs and drumming. Black Hole Sun is fantastic. Did find it to be a little bloated and repetitive at points

Yeezus by Kanye West
Nov 09 2023

Kanye’s ego coming through strong on this one. Some nice production throughout, always good to hear JV on a Kayne track. But it almost feels satirical, the fact that it isn’t makes it hard to get past.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Nov 10 2023

Great new wave vibe. Extremely consistent with great melodies. Some great bass lines and the instrumentation was good in general. Perfect middle ground between grit and polish.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Nov 13 2023

Fun record, simple yet fun. At parts it makes me think of what the Smiths might sound like if they enjoyed funk and were a bit happier. Psycho Killer is a great track

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Nov 14 2023

I assume this was innovative at time of release, but it no longer feels that way. The mix makes it hard to hear the lyrics at points so it’s hard to get a clear sense of the story. Vocals are quite weak at points. Having enjoyed other Arcade Fire records I was hoping for more with this one

OK Computer by Radiohead
Nov 15 2023

This album has aged so well. It is atmospheric and immersive. For an album that is so heavily produced, it has a live feel to it. I imagine I’ll get more out of this each time I come back to it

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Nov 16 2023

Classic blues record. A bit bloated but no doubting its influence. Maybe the best playing Clapton put on tape.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Nov 17 2023

Really enjoyable album, great song writing and performance

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 20 2023

Some great songs on here. Could have done without the interlude.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 21 2023

A collection of fantastic musicians. Great bass lines, some unreal runs on the keys and bold brass work. The brass does a great job of adding depth and texture to the mix

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 22 2023

Solid. Some good songs but dragged on a bit

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Nov 23 2023

Teen Age Riot is a great track to kick the album off and it never drops off. Great record! Love the guitar work

Arrival by ABBA
Nov 27 2023

Some killer, some filler. Overall enjoyable but find myself waiting through the lows for the hits

Synchronicity by The Police
Nov 28 2023

A few great singles on here. Mother is awful and an easy skip on an otherwise pleasant listen

Smile by Brian Wilson
Nov 29 2023
Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Nov 30 2023

Any album with LoTR references has a place in my heart. One that has these references and some of the greatest rock songs of all time is an absolute treat to consume. Not a single second of filler on this record, it’s excellent musically, lyrically and thematically.
