Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

I wish I was at that gig, the crowd sounds amazing. Great album. Favourite quote from the song Somebody Have Mercy "some body have mercy I wanna know what's wrong with me... It ain't that leukaemia that ain't it" - it was, he had leukaemia. Though he later died by gun shot through the heart.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

3/5

It's like an album full of the second best songs from rock operas. It's fine, I do enjoy a bit of Meatloaf but you know... It's fine.

Green

R.E.M.

2/5

Struggled to finish.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

2/5

One or two good songs, some unexpected N64 sounds tracks but overall uninteresting. Good back ground music.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

3/5

This album goes pretty hard. It's a great mix of hip-hop, rap and r'n'b. Typical of a good rap and hop hop album there's a lot of well used samples. It was cringe hearing Kanye rapping to the tune of Iron Man and it's a shame about the Rhiana song, Nikki Montage was surprisingly okay and the Chris Rock ending was fun.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

4 for me, i'd give it a 3.5 of I could. It's not as good as the original prison record he did and the bleeps where they try to cover bad language is really jarring.

Paul Simon

2/5

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Easy listening jazz that would work as the backing track to a quiet beach holiday.

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

4/5

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

2/5

Very repetitive album that hasn't quite got enough catchy tunes. However, from Walk This Way to Sweet Emotion is a pretty good 3 song run. I had no idea they had a cover of 10inch Record of the band.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

I'm still on edge

I Am a Bird Now

Antony and the Johnsons

2/5

Blur

3/5

A well crafted album that is well worth a listen. However, there aren't any good singles that stand out during its play. It's not their finest work as it leaves me wanting to listen to other better Blur albums but it does scratch an itch after a full play through.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

If someone asked me what do wizards listen to at parties I'd show them this. O'Aqualung! Great concept album but maybe a little too repetitive in parts.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

I appreciate it, but it's not for me.

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

A modern classic

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

Kind of a sexy album, but very samey all the way through. Guess it doesn't matter when your about to cum.

Ctrl

SZA

3/5

Sleek lofi feel to the album, can't say I remember to much about it several hours later though...

Kid A

Radiohead

3/5

A well crafted and produced album.. however, it's a bit on dreary side with no obvious standout singles. Nobody is rushing to put The National anthem on at and can't see people choosing tree fingers as a favourite to listen to on their own.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

5/5

Thoroughly enjoyable than Solomon with fantastic samples. That are reason fat boy slim became so popular.

The Doors

5/5

Yeezus

Kanye West

3/5

New Forms

Roni Size

1/5

Fuuuuuuuckin dull. Each track sounds like it isn't finished and is just the same repetitive "bsst ta bsst ta tick tack tick ah tick ah tack" over and over again, with lack luster base and the shite synthesis usually found in a year 7 class room. 1 out of 5, would recommend to a teen with ADHD on speed, driving his lowered to its arse Corsa.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

I always feel like Robert Smith (the singer) in the cure could be turned up a few decibels, or stand closer to the mic.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

It's Led Zeppelin. It's 3 of the best best 4 albums.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

4/5

One of my favourite Eminem albums. Well producer, hard-hitting and often bizarre lyrics and funny skits.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

3/5

I enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. It had some great collabs with Methodman and Jzee that I really enjoyed and I have added into my liked Spotify songs playlist.

E.V.O.L.

Sonic Youth

2/5

Really dreary and borning album, not my cup of tea at all. But I guessed depressed expunks would be into it

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

A nice jazz album. Well record too

Parachutes

Coldplay

2/5

And soaring out of the slow lane and into the middle of the road it's Cold Play and its all mellow, I mean Yellow. Yeah, it's not the worst album but it's not the best. It's so inoffensive it's almost offensive and just remember "People like Coldplay and voted for the Nazis, you can't trust people". Super Hanz *Also, Run by Snow Patrol is basically a slower version of Yellow.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Thoroughly joyful listen and album perfect for the summer and the spring

A peaceful anthem filled with optimism and hope.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

4/5

Awesome punk and grunge album with a great sound. Each track deserves to be played loud and could feature on a Tony Hawk video game. INTO THE DRINK!

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

2/5

I'm not a genesis or Phil Colins fan

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Not a big Brucie fan, but I did enjoy the striped back feel of this album.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

5/5

This album has weirdly always felt nostalgic and I'm not sure why, but I love it.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

Beautiful album

Midnight Ride

Paul Revere & The Raiders

3/5

Great album of 60 pop but "Little Girl in The 4th Row" is noncy AF. Are all the other love songs about little girls too?

Maxinquaye

Tricky

4/5

Great trip hop album, a nice departure from Massive attack for Tricky as it's deeper and darker.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

...And Justice For All

Metallica

3/5

This album demonstrates the skill of an excellent band and a drummer struggling to keep up. I found it actually quite a hard listen and even though sounds like "One" and "... Justice for all" deserve they're places in rock and or metal fame the rest of the album is a bit derivative and the drums are an annoying distraction with their miss beats and clumsy fills. Not lars finest moment and not Metallicas powerful sound they're known for.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

A classic album

Machine Head

Deep Purple

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

My favourite Deep Purple album. It's go hard or go home with a splash of organ and a slap of sexy

Jack White channeling his inner Robert Plant.

Different Class

Pulp

5/5

The Last Of The True Believers

Nanci Griffith

4/5

An excellent county folk album. but it has a strange recording and I'm not sure if it's on purpose or an error my end, it sounds like it parts a warped record. The music is there but it fades and distorts slightly. But I did enjoy and I found it to be very chill

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

5/5

C'mon.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel
