Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 12 2024

A few odd tracks, old people talking being one. Some tracks seem out of place - Mrs Robinson for example. Overall an enjoyable listen with a couple of classics in there.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Mar 13 2024

Some good innovative tracks but overall too long. Good use of samples.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 14 2024

A few classic tracks. Billie Jean being my favourite. I few tracks sound very dated especially the Paul McCartney duet.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Mar 16 2024

Great album that I own. Good lyrics. Upbeat tempo.

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 20 2024

Weird. When this popped up I was listening to it on vinyl. Good album. Loose production makes it sounds like it was recorded live in a garage. It’s a a brilliant debut album with catchy tracks and sun lyrics.

Mar 21 2024

Poor man’s Nirvana or Foo Fighters. Didn’t enjoy it

Guero by Beck
