Queen
Not Queens finest album for me but some great songs and an amazing album cover. I think the album has great variety and sound. Its a great listen.
3 incredible songs in you’re my best friend, love of my life, and Bohemian Rhapsody, these make the album and give it a 4.
Favourite song: Love of my life and You’re my best friend.
Least favourite song: I have never understood I am in love with my car. Rubbish song! Why this makes their live set I will never know!! Good company is also terrible.
Album artwork: one of the best album covers

Lupe Fiasco
How have I never heard of this before, this is like good Kanye!!!
This is good rap music, it is fresh and clean, it feels responsibile with a good message that has not dated. The music has it all with some songs featuring R&R then spanning the spectrum to Jazz. Its unique.
Favourite song: Kick, Push" and "Daydreamin'
Least favourite: Outro, what was that all about!
Album artwork: I like the cover

Are You Experienced
Jimi Hendrix
What a first studio album this is!! It could easily be a greatest hits album. You won’t see a better opening than purple haze, manic depression and Hey Joe. Just brilliant.
So many hits that remind me of going out when I was 18-21 and are the reasons, I love music. Stone Free being the biggest. I love it. Its a 5/5 easily
Favourite song: Manic depression, Stone free
Least favourite: None, all songs are fantastic
Album artwork: Perfect album cover

Master Of Puppets
Metallica
I am not into heavy metal or thrash metal in any way at all.
I was surprised that I enjoyed Master of Puppets and Battery as I went into the album with a negative mind frame. The guitar riffs were good and catchy, only downside is the songs are a little long.
I grew to like the album. It has some good melodies and acoustic moments. its a 3/5.
Favourite song: Master of puppets
Least favourite: Disposable heros is not for me. there is a lot of screaming involved there.
Album artwork: Cool cover, I won’t hang it up at home though

I can’t believe this album is now 20 years old!!
I used to love this, so I am looking forward to giving it another listen, its been a long time. Slow night, so long is great. Its the KOL era I know and love before the haircuts and pop. KOL should have stayed this way.
Its a good album, nothing more than a 3/5
Favourite song: King of the rodeo and Bucket

Short, sharp, and great. Punk at its best. 21 songs in 36 minutes is impressive feet. I had never heard of Wire or pink flag before, but I was impressed. It seemed very ahead of its time for a 1977 release.
Favourite song: Three girl rumba and ex lion tamer.

Go Girl Crazy
The Dictators
The songs sound like good punk, the lyrics are silly and funny which is a good sign but for some reason I found the album a bit stale at fist.
After a second or third listen though I grew to love some songs, and it really changed my opinion on the album. The cover of I got you babe is quite unique and California sun, two tub man and I live for cars and girls are great songs. It’s a fun album.
Favourite song: California sun and two tub man are great songs.
Least favourite: Master race rock

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight
Richard Thompson
Nice folk music, This album has some great songs on it and some not so great songs. Its a real mixed bag.
I really enjoyed the end of the rainbow and when I get to the boarder Then there were songs that I just could not get on with like the great valerio and the little beggar girl.
Favourite song: The end of the rainbow
Least favourite: the little beggar girl. It could have easily featured in Robin Hood the Disney cartoon.
Album artwork: Simple and effective cover

Siamese Dream
The Smashing Pumpkins
90s grunge music was never my thing.
I feel the album starts well but gets boring as it progresses. there are songs at the start where you can see they are trying to do something different and something that is a bit more than 90s grunge. The album has moments and great melodies. I would explore more smashing pumpkins.
Favourite song: Disarm
Least favourite: the latter half ot the album
Album artwork: A bit creepy.

A very average rock / punk album. Nothing to write home about at all but pleasant to have on in the background and not have to concentrate on.

OK Computer
Radiohead
I have never understood the hype with this album or Radiohead. When listening to their albums I have never thought 5/5 or amazing.
I can see that they were something different at the time of release and a challenge to Brit Pop and indie but the songs to me are very whiney and lack variation.
This album has some big hits on this though like Paranoid Android, Karma Police and Subterranean homesick alien, but on the other hand some very boring numbers like Exit music and let down.
Favourite song: Karma Police
Least favourite: Exit music for a film
Album artwork: Cool cover
