Franz Ferdinand
Franz FerdinandThe band sound as bored as I am. Jingly jangly guitars performed by mediocre musicians. There isn't an ounce of originality amongst them. 1 extra point because Take Me Out has rattled around in my brain for the day, annoyingly.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
WilcoI thought it was Beck at first. I quite liked Radio Cure and I'm The Man Who Loves You but overall a bit too nice for me. No need to ever hear it again.

Elvis Presley
Elvis PresleyI liked the uptempo songs. Blue Suede Shoes is an all time classic. Otherwise, not for me.

Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus
SpiritThis was a pleasant surprise. Mr Skin was my favourite, the presence of horns made it feel soulful.

The Fat Of The Land
The ProdigyEasy 5 for me. I'm not into dance music but the punk ethos runs through this album. Love it.

Let It Be
The ReplacementsThere's absolutely nothing on here to recommend. No good songs, no riffs, no musicianship, no good lyrics. Just no.

Welcome to the Afterfuture
Mike LaddI'd been waiting ages to hear some hip hop and then I'm served this mediocre slop. How did this get on the list but there's no Saul Williams? Lazy and uninspired.

Straight Outta Compton
N.W.A.A landmark album that has aged well musically but not aged well at all lyrically. It has one of the all time great hip hop openers.

Coat Of Many Colors
Dolly PartonWell I enjoyed that way more than I thought I would. Liked the first 2 songs and Here I Am, but Early Morning Breeze is my favourite. Some excellent song writing with a sense of humour.

MetallicaFirst half is a stonking 5/5 but everything after Nothing Else Matters is meh.

Fever To Tell
Yeah Yeah YeahsA rare album that I have loved since the very first listen. It sounds like a chaos train barely hanging on the track and it's utterly brilliant.

Apr 12 2024
The Slider
T. RexA long and repetitive album. Buick Makane is a belting song. When they turn to straight up rock it sounds great.

Meat Is Murder
The SmithsThis is, without doubt, the worst shit ever inflicted on my ears. Jingle jangle guitar + whiny voice = utter aural carnage. I just don't get it. Shitty jingle jangle guitar but worst of all is fucking Morrisey. It's a beautiful sunny day and I've got to listen to his whiny bullshit. Some of the stuff I've listened to has been boring but this actually makes me nauseous. Why would anyone choose to listen to this?
