Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

Pretty good but there are better Led Zeppelin albums.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jan 03 2024

Not bad. Decent energy. Sabotage was the stand out song.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 04 2024

Some great tunes, but I didn’t find myself getting fully immersed in the music. It wouldn’t be the kind of music I’d regularly listen to but it was decent.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 05 2024

Confession time - I’ve never listened to a Bowie album, which is ridiculous. I’ve heard all the classics, including the likes of ‘Changes’ from this album, which is super. I had no expectations and have to say that I enjoyed it.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jan 08 2024

Quite short but certainly an interesting listen. I knew that the roots of present day electronic music came from this period, but I wouldn’t have expected it to have aged so well. The album’s theme of robots and computers probably helps the sound feel modern. Didn’t have any expectations but was pleasantly surprised.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jan 09 2024

Was just okay. I am a big fan of many rock bands from this era, many inspired from what my Dad listened to. Deep Purple was never one I heard and now I understand why.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 10 2024

Not a great listen. I’ve never heard of the band and will likely never listen to them again. I’m going to reserve scoring a 1 for albums I can’t face listening to the whole way through. But this isn’t far off.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jan 11 2024

Not too bad, but not as good as the previous Bowie album we listened to.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jan 12 2024

Nah, not for me

Jan 15 2024

Nice to finally listen to an album I’ve owned, although I’ve always preferred their earlier albums, particularly Stankonia. It’s decent but not amazing, and in terms of hip hop, there are many better albums. Also the amount of interludes is ridiculous.

Boston by Boston
Jan 16 2024

That was a class wee album. I’d only ever heard the first some before but I enjoyed them all.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 17 2024

Pretty good but there are better Led Zeppelin albums.

Guero by Beck
Jan 18 2024

It’s not bad. A couple of decent songs but the album isn’t one I’d be rushing to listen to again.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jan 19 2024

I couldn’t listen to the guys voice. So didn’t get too far it the album.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 22 2024

Pretty good. It wouldn’t be the kind of music I’d gravitate to, but it was okay for a one off listen.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 23 2024

I liked the album, but I have to be honest, it wouldn’t be something I’d listen to everyday. The Beach Boys having a few tracks in a larger playlist is grand, but after a while they start to wind me up.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jan 25 2024

I didn’t think I knew the bad but I’d actually heard a number of the songs. It was an enjoyable listen and is very close to getting a 4.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jan 26 2024

There was definitely some skill in the delivery but I didn’t get bought into the theme of the album, it was a bit random. Hadn’t heard this artist before and I’ll probably stick to the hip hop I know and love.

2112 by Rush
Jan 29 2024

Not bad, but the length of some of the tracks is taking the piss. I think this annoyed me enough to give this score.

Jan 30 2024

Quite a short album that I had on in the background doing work. Probably not the best way to listen as I’m not sure how much I absorbed, and I don’t feel overly motivated to listen to it again.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jan 31 2024

I’ve always enjoyed this album. It has a soulful vibe, with some amazing vocals. Unfinished sympathy is an incredible track.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 01 2024

I actually knew a few songs but had no clue when I first saw the name. This type of grunge wouldn’t be my sort of this but it wasn’t bad.

Marquee Moon by Television
Feb 05 2024

Didn’t get past the first few songs.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Feb 06 2024

Who doesn’t love a bit of Iron Maiden. I’d actually never listened to this album, but it still felt familiar.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Feb 07 2024

Decent. But just after an Iron Maiden album, it felt like too much.

Debut by Björk
Feb 13 2024
