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

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.

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

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.

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.
