The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Nov 24 2023

Some bangers, some Meh. Liked this when it came out - an underwhelming Glastonbury performance put me off. Don’t leave it 13 years next time!

Violator by Depeche Mode
Nov 27 2023

Singles great. Some other good tracks. Few meh.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Nov 28 2023

5 - love Kate Bush and this is peak Kate Bush.

Arrival by ABBA
Nov 29 2023

Just not into this at all. The singing is ok, at times, but the melodies are dull.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Nov 30 2023

What a voice. The band/ backing vocals add to every song. Even the songs I've never heard are great. The tone on every instrument is incredible.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 01 2023

Love it. 6/5 bangers from start to finish. Can’t believe it’s 20 years old!

1989 by Taylor Swift
Dec 04 2023

Pop royalty. Conteasting this with ABBA is night and day. Taylor is a boss story teller.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Dec 05 2023

sing along to the first track and then meh. it's alright but just not my thing. Gimme the car (bonus track) is a bit... erm... dificult to listen to.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Dec 06 2023

Strong first half but the album sort of fades out. Love her voice, the guitar and the melodies.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Dec 08 2023

I'm sure this is objectivley good but as a first time listener to big band swing it seems so over done. Sounds lie every movie sound track of my childhood. I'm sure Count Basie did it first but in 2023 it seems trite.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 11 2023

Knew lots of these songs, ut ot these verisons (Don;t buy bootlegs kids!). Realy interesting influences and some here and some great playing. Bob is a gateway drug for reggae, great album. my only critisicism it is doesn;t seem like an album, more a colelction of songs.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Dec 12 2023

Absolute banger. Wish I had seen them in the 90s but they blew me away in 2004ish. Bangers form start to finish.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Dec 13 2023

Loved the down tempo FLC sounding tracks. Not keen on the uptempo tracks. Too varied for me.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Dec 14 2023

Love FKAs voice, love the production but the songs are missing something. It all sounds amazing but it’s all forgettable. Would defiantly search out more of her work.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Dec 15 2023

hard listen. too experimental.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 18 2023

Neil Young has a prolific career and i know a lot, but previosuly not this album. Love this.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Dec 20 2023

I struggle with jazz – I couldn’t actually get through this. She;s clearly a great singer – but the songs are dull.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 21 2023

2. Safety Measures: Secure and seal all chemical containers housed within the fume cupboard. 3. Sash Operation: Check smooth operation, with the sash holding position at indicated markers. 4. Velocity Check: Confirm the controller indicates a velocity around 0.5 m/s within a tolerance of +/- 0.1 m/s. 5. Airflow-Fail Alarm: Push the sash-lock to open beyond the max setting to check for airflow-fail alarm activation. Ensure no hazardous processes are ongoing during this check. 6. Fire-Trace Indicator: Verify the needle is in the green (charge) area and inspect internal tubing for blockage/damage. 7. VAV Valve: If visible, assess VAV valve operation as the sash opens/closes. 8. Noise Check: Listen for any noticeable changes in noise, tones, or vibrations. 9. Interior Light: Confirm the proper operation of the interior light. 9. Record Keeping: Maintain records of regular checks, readily available upon request (e.g., during safety inspections). Safely store completed forms, such as in a central lab folder or fixed into the back of your laboratory book

Parklife by Blur
Dec 22 2023

pop classic

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jun 25 2024

can't get into this. references too obscure, experimental in sound whilst formulaic in structure.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 19 2024

Some good tracks but all the tracks are similar. It’s a few tracks too long. Great bass sound though.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Aug 21 2024

Really odd first track choice. I like Willie, and I like this album (hadn’t heard most of it before) but I question a covers album on the 1001 albums of all Time.
