The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

5/5

My favourite discovery so far. I only knew them from their singles. This album as a whole is such a trip. Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Leonard Bernstein, Pink Floyd. They’re all in there but this is a complete original too. Big 5 from me

The title says it all. A genuine one-off talent.

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

Visionary stuff but not always easy to listen to!

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Powerful even after all these years

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

Outstanding. A proper album with a beginning, middle and ending. Great to listen to it all the way through as intended. Great songwriting and a voice and musician to match.

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Some great songs but it felt like there were quite a few ‘fillers’ too. All a bit too similar in tone and pace.

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

That was pure rock and roll filth! Such a dirty album. Totally loved it. And only thirty seven minutes too.

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

2/5

Nice enough to have on in the background while I was working, but not exactly memorable!

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Kid A

Radiohead

3/5

It’s seminal, it’s important, it’s influential. But is it any fun to listen to? Not so sure. I love the first track but it feels like a chore to listen to the whole thing in one sitting.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

2/5

No Other

Gene Clark

2/5

Yawn…

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

3/5

All a bit pompous and silly but kind of fun at the same time.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Great song writing, if just as stereotypically depressing as you’d expect.

Better Living Through Chemistry

Fatboy Slim

5/5

Just awesome. Not his most famous work but full of life and energy.

Youth And Young Manhood

Kings of Leon

4/5

Sweatier than a teenager’s gym socks. Raw and scruffy and full of life. I followed up by listening to their recent release which sounds sad and defeated in comparison.
