The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

I like a lot about this album, and some songs (Sprawl II) are a 10/10. But overall I find it a bit repetitive, one-note and flat as a whole.

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

I love this album was very happy when this came as my second option. United is the best song on here.

Is This It

The Strokes

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

5/5

This is literally my favourite album of all time. Cannot fault anything.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Great album, some 10/10 songs, but overall not my thing

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

The United States Of America

1/5

Probably needs another listen to appreciate, but it didn't grab me at all on first pass

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Love Creedence but this isn't their best. They released something crazy like 5 different 5-star albums in just a few years, but I always found this one a bit middling between the hits.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

3/5

A really solid album I could probably get heavily invested in at another time. While I'm sure it's incredible for its genre, it's not quite my thing, the tracks are nice but a little slow and samey for my own tastes.

The Colour Of Spring

Talk Talk

3/5

I admit I didn't listen to it all, but I couldn't get into it. Rating would probably change if I give it another go.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

2/5

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Liquid Swords

GZA

4/5

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

3/5

I like Bon Jovi but this has a lot of filler on. Strangely some of the better songs weren't singles, though. It's pretty average even by BJ standards.

#1 Record

Big Star

2/5

I like Big Star and some tunes here did immediately grab me, but by the end I was a bit bored of it. I think it possibly just needs some relistens, sometimes when I hear an album for the first time, it doesn't click - you need to get familiar with the songs. For now I give this a 2, but that would likely change in future!

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

5/5

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

I really like 2 of the songs, and the album is undoubtedly a huge achievement musically. But there is literally a 12 minute song where nothing happens for half the time. There is too much 'filler' on an album of only 5 tracks. I appreciate its importance and innovation in the prog field, but that's just not enjoyable listening for me. The opening and closing tracks are absolutely killer though.
