Really enjoyed this, great laid back vibe, kinky reggae stood out amongst many highlights

Synchronicity

2/5

Hmm honestly wasn't sure, some bits I liked and others didn't, preferred the second half of the album or side 2 on vinyl....and what about 'mother' ... awful

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

5/5

I loved this, the passion of the audience, the conversation between the songs and how good the songs were, the back story of these gigs as well, an unexpected surprise

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

2/5

Bit boring for me

Fleet Foxes

5/5

First album from 'my era' and first time I've listened in a while, a fantastic album, sounded amazing 15 years on as I have some better headphones now ! Actually their best song from this era was Mykonos on an EP, if you like this album then check out this track also

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

A pleasant, if unremarkable, listen

Medúlla

Björk

1/5

I have post and debut in my collection which are both great albums, this, IMO, is awful, turned off after a few songs to save my ears

Get Behind Me Satan

The White Stripes

3/5

I liked the white stripes in the 00s but listening for the first time in 10-15 years I didn't find as enjoyable, the singles are good but rest of the album feels like it's padded out with fillers, hasn't aged that well in terms of my tastes but not a bad album overall

Porcupine

Echo And The Bunnymen

3/5

Not too bad

Music Has The Right To Children

Boards of Canada

2/5

Feels like the album to listen to at 30k feet looking out the window at a sunrise, but I was in the car and lost interest

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch

2/5

Wanted to like it but switched off after a few songs, not really a fan of this genre

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

Took me back to my early 20s, a fantastic album, maybe a couple of tracks too long but some amazing tracks, not listened to it for a while but really enjoyed it

Slipknot

3/5

Actually didn't mind this

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Quite enjoyed it

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Great album, was into Coldplay before they become famous, the scientist reminds me of a bad break up though

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

I got into them later and preferred those albums but it was ok

Gorillaz

4/5

Really doesn't sound 23 years old, really enjoyable listen, I have got 3 later gorillaz albums and knew the 2 main singles but enjoyed listening to this

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

2/5

It was ok but got a bit bored, did wonder how many people who bought this originally listened to all 4682 tracks

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

5/5

Big fan of Deep Purple, my dad listened to them in the 70s and as a teenager in the 90s I got into them, have quite a few albums but never heard this, yes some tracks go on quite a long time but this was live and loved the improvisation, the drum solo on the mile was quality It also includes space truckin' which I love

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Really enjoyed this

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

4/5

I've not heard of the youngbloods before but I was pleasantly surprised, great album

Drunk

Thundercat

1/5

Got bored with a few songs to go

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

This is my second wailers album after catch a fire which I thought was excellent, this was equally as good but you can see how the style had evolved, obviously a few more well known songs on this one, I wasnt into reggae much before this but enjoying it a lot more now

Franz Ferdinand

4/5

Putting aside that take me out is one of those songs that I turn off instantly as over played, see mr brightside as well I was pleasantly surprised by the rest of this album which I really enjoyed The 00s were my era for listening to and buying the most music and I liked a lot of similar bands but never bought this album, no sure why, but before streaming it was harder to listen to music without buying the cd Overall a great listen, skipped take me out though

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

2/5

Tbh a bit non descript, preferred earlier albums

The Clash

2/5

Not a massive punk fan, it was ok but always a bit shouty, my favourite song was police and thieves which turns out to be a reggae cover which explains that

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Another review summed it up for me, liked a couple of tracks but was willing the album to end towards the end... "I try and try but I just can’t do Bob Dylan 🤷‍♂️ His voice is annoying and that damned harmonica, sheesh"

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

4/5

Surprisingly really enjoyed this and suspect I'll be back for a second listen, very soothing on headphones, favourite track was 'we had it all's

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

1/5

Gave it a few songs, conclusion - boring

Stankonia

OutKast

1/5

I try with hip hop but I really can't get into it, best songs on here are the more tuneful ones and less cussing ones, drawn out, long and turned off before the end

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

2/5

It's not as bad as some people have wrote, some ok tracks, some not so good ones and it's far too long

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Quality album

Chris

Christine and the Queens

2/5

Surprised this is in the list, completely unremarkable, not bad not great just meh

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

An absolutely classic, I never tire of listening to Fleetwood Mac, the Buckingham/Nicks/Mcvie/Mcvie/Fleetwood era, actually though this is my 3rd favourite behind tango in the night and mirage but it's still a joy to listen to - 5 stars !

Let's Get Killed

David Holmes

2/5

Was ok

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Haven't listened to this for quite a while, great album, atmospheric and some great tunes, love the rhythm section and strings. Also listening to it on a lot better pair of headphones then 20 years ago and it sounds great. I had a couple more arcade fire albums then drifted away from them, this was still my favourite

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

3/5

I'm not a huge fan of hip hop but this was a fun listen, I knew the singles of course, magic number, eye know and my favourite me, myself and I but there were other fun tracks, especially 'this is a recording' The downsides were it was a bit too long, some of the filler tracks I wasn't a huge fan of but overall glad I listened to this

Electric

The Cult

3/5

Very 80s rock sound, I quite enjoyed it though

Adele

2/5

I really liked 21 but 25 passed me by, I don't think I'd missed much, I found this very middle of the road with very little stand out songs apart from hello, perhaps it grows on you after a few listens but not the best for me
