Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Dec 08 2023

Pretty solid album, includes the well known songs 'Wouldn't It be Nice' and 'God Only Knows'. My personal standouts are 'Here Today' and 'I Just Wasn't Made or These Times'.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 11 2023

My first experience of Nick Cave's music and I intend to listen to many more of his albums. With the first track initially I was concerned the album might be a bit too religious for me to enjoy but this was not tue case. Some great songs, my favourites being: 'Cannibal's Hymn' 'Hiding All Away' 'Let the Bells Ring' 'The Lyre of Orpheus' 'Easy Money' and of course the beautiful 'O Children'. On first listen some of the tracks felt like they went on a bit to long/were a bit filler. This wasn't as bad on my second listen and I really enjoyed the entire album with the same standout tracks. 4/5 (High 7/10)

Dec 12 2023

Bob Dylan's iconic second album. I really great piece and work/art and one of my favourites from what I've listened too of Dylan's discography. Can't get enough of 'Masters if War' either.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Dec 13 2023

Not really an album for me. There were parts I liked, 'Venus In Furs' being the best and a great track for me and 'There She Goes Again' was enjoyable. There were parts I wanted to like as well but then there was just too much unnecessary screeching for me to get a chance to enjoy it. The rest just didn't really not much for me. I somewhat appreciate how this album came to be influential but in it's raw form, not an album I would come back to for a full listen, if ever. Maybe it could grow on me as it did the world, but I don't think I'll give it the chance.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Dec 14 2023

A superb album, an absolute joy to listen to. This is the kind of music I came to this list to discover.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Dec 15 2023

Great album from Joni Mitchell, having only listened to Blue before, I really enjoyed the jazz/pop style on this one. Favourite songs: 'Car On a Hill' 'Free Man On Paris' 'Twisted'

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 18 2023

Love the instrumentation on this album. Such a fun listen through, not a single song I don't enjoy, although not quite deserving of a 5 to me.

Purple Rain by Prince
Dec 19 2023

Prince's masterpiece. From the moment the album starts with 'Let's Go Crazy' it has you hooked all the way. It's Purple Rain!

Cut by The Slits
Dec 20 2023

Not a good album, nothing redeemable about this one for me. I didn't even want to try and like it, silence was preferable to the noise which this album was. I appreciate this album may have been significant at the time, it's just not for me.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 21 2023

A great album and a great listening experience. The tracks all flow into eachother smoothly and cleverly despite the ever switching genre. Top tracks:. 'You Ain't the Problem' 'Piano Joint (This Kind of Love)' 'Living in Denial' 'Hero' An excellent modern find from the list and a very confident self titled album.

Scum by Napalm Death
Dec 22 2023

It's clear that these guys are very talented at playing their respective instruments. Some of the intros to these tracks are impressive. Such a shame they inevitably ruin each track by turning great riffs into generic indistinguishable noise. And then the singing, or rather the lack of singing, more like a weird yell/shout. There was not a single word or line I understood. How can you mumble something so bad while also screaming it. Not a single track here I would come back to, not even for the few seconds on most tracks which have great instrumentation. Such a shame and a waste of talent. Shit.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 25 2023

Not my favourite Bob Marley & The Wailers album but a very solid one. 'No Woman, No Cry' is great as always!

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Dec 27 2023

Decent album, but most of it seemed to pass me by without really making an impact. Some notable songs which I enjoyed 'Holocaust' 'Kanga Roo' 'Take Care' Will probably listen to it again, it was good enough, glad to have heard it.

2112 by Rush
Dec 28 2023

An enjoyable but somewhat average 1970s rock album. I actually enjoyed the second side of the album a lot more than the 20 minute opener/first side which seems to be more popular.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 29 2023

This albums goes hard.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jan 01 2024

Good listen but forgettable for me. Expect 'Wild World', great song. Needs a relisten, I could see myself coming round to it.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jan 02 2024

One of the best Doors albums. A joy from start to finish.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jan 03 2024

Really great 80s pop album which holds up well. Absolutely loved 'Appetite' and 'Desire As'

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jan 04 2024

A top tier Short Album About Love 'Everybody Knows (Except You)'

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jan 05 2024

Not a bad album, but not really a good album either. Most of it was not very gripping, background music that I didn't enjoy. Jo's Lament was alright though.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 08 2024

Really great album. Each song brings a different feel and energy. Could listen to this all day. Off with your head.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jan 09 2024

This album will make you just bop and bop. A great listen through and a piece of musical history.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jan 10 2024

An electronic album which does some things right and well, but most of the time, other do it better. Lyrics is definitely, one of them, some questionable and humorous lines there, I guess that's the point. The music is interesting at best and boring at worst. Maybe a 2 is too harsh, but it's not as good as some of the albums I've give a 3.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jan 11 2024

A good live album with lots of energy. Haven't heard any of these songs before but might check out some of their albums after this.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 12 2024

Could barley remember the album today after listening to it yesterday. Think that speaks for my listening experience, nothing really stood out, just a bunch instrumentals.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 15 2024

Few debut albums stand as tall as Led Zeppelin's. And the fact that the first two songs are "Good Times Bad Times" and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", amazing. Saying that most of the the songs on here are bangers. Crazy to think they went on to make better albums than this.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jan 16 2024

One of Eminem's best albums featuring some undeniable great tracks and top tier beats. However, particularly in the first half, I can't help but cringe at some of the lyrics. Some of the tongue in cheek stuff just doesn't hold up today. There's nothing else quite like this album and that might be a good thing

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jan 17 2024

Didn't hate this album but I can't say I enjoyed it. There was a couple of songs I liked, just not really into the punk genre.
