Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jan 21 2024

Lines on my face was a bit of a banger. The rest of it was pretty easy listening, some jazzy guitar, mild bops, but didn't blow me away. Decent recording for a live album, wasn't that annoying. Fine bkground music basically.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jan 22 2024

I find Alex Turner's voice annoying and this album is meh, same old. Not for me. More likely to listen to Peter Frampton again tbh.

War by U2
Jan 23 2024

I'd give it 4 for Sunday Bloody Sunday alone. That said I think I started too generously with Peter Frampton, and now my scale is a bit fucked. This is Suzie btw, I'm not sure what I've done with my name...

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 24 2024

I remember my brother having this album and loving it. It's a lot funkier than I remember and I'm into it. Did a lot of toe tapping to 'If you have to ask'. Loved the funky guitar in 'I could have lied'. Nice to listen to some RHCP back catalogue. Also quite liked the fact it was a longer album with lots of tracks. So hard to know whether you genuinely like a song or just like its familiarity. I gave under the bridge a reload, and it made me wonder whether I'd do that if I didn't know it so well. FOOD4THOUGHT. I really liked the last track 'Castles Made of Sand' Probs my fave album so far... (Of four) It's a high 4/5.

Suicide by Suicide
Jan 25 2024

Dafuq. Too weird and kooky for me. The amount I enjoy moaning and screaming in real life is the amount I enjoyed this album. Deliberately stressful and I'm not into it. It was hard not to vote it 1/5 before finishing listening, but in the spirit of being open minded, I finished the album before reviewing (but still gave it a one). If you could vote it 0, I would.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 29 2024

Gorgeous voice. Some beautiful songs, but didn't grab me. Maybe a 2.5. I feel like I need to listen again as it was very background music!

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 30 2024

I liked this more than I thought I would. It felt pure 90s and v nostalgic. Susan's House was a fave, toe tapping.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jan 31 2024

Not for me...

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Feb 01 2024

Didn't realise Paul wrote Maybe I'm Amazed. I actually thought album on the whole was fairly forgettable... Maybe I need to listen again but didn't grab my attention whilst I was working away.

Phrenology by The Roots
Feb 07 2024

I loved this album as a teenager and still love it. rediscovered tracks I'd not listened to in ages and reminded me of iPod times when I had a few of these tracks playing on repeat.

So. Many. Bangers.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 15 2024

Loved this. Also love discovering where something's been sampled from like sith Taj Mahal. I cooked a stew to it and I think it helped make it tasty. Really enjoyed having it on.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Feb 24 2024

3.5. some great classics, but didn't love any of the album tracks I didn't already know.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Mar 01 2024

Great background music for working. Would stick on again.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 02 2024

Not really for me, I don't love jazz but could see why jazz heads would enjoy it. He should defs ditch the first track though.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 26 2024

Enjoy Steely Dan so enjoyed having it on in the background, but didn't catch my attention in a big way. Wouldn't say it was a stand out album, a few mild boos only. Probably enjoyed the first couple of tracks more than the rest. Not going to go out of my way to listen to it again.

Music by Madonna
Mar 28 2024

The singles are unreal from this album - Music and Dont Tell Me especially are both still bangers in their different ways. I definitely don't like or love all tracks on the album, bit of a mix bag but interesting all the same - prefer the slower ones like I Deserve It and What It Feels Like For A Girl rather than dance tracks.
