In The Court Of The Crimson King
King Crimson
The flute on I talk to the wind is everything. Hadn't heard any of this apart from 21st century schizoid man before. Wigging out and jazzy with it. It's pretty good but probably won't be listening to this on the regular. But in a certain time and place this is sweet and the flute and mellotron make it 👌

Lovely to have an excuse to listen to this. Is there anything better than Fela for a road trip?

Some of these songs are ok. A bit like wallpaper - you don't notice anything's there after a while..but some are actively cringe and it was a struggle not to skip. Maybe you had to be there. Best track: Spying Glass

Hard to separate out feelings and memories associated with this album and appraise it rationally. Now I feel you need to be in a certain mood to appreciate it and maybe my affection for it has dimmed slightly with time. Still a classic. 4.2

Rod Stewart
Not my cup of tea really but there are some nice piano and guitar bits on the more upbeat tracks. Second half better than the first. 2.5 - middle of the road this one

Just a fun party album with that 90s hip hop vibe you love and Snoop's languorous vocals just 👌 - prob like a 7/10.
(Unless I can find a way to edit existing reviews these are all going to be a bit inflated)

Actually really liked this to my surprise. Can see where the libertines get some of their sound from. Couple of dudes but mostly bangers

I used to really like the Coral and this is a decent album. I prefer the invisible invasion. This is probably a 3.5.

Really nice sequencing of songs, creative and just a vibe. Not a perfect album but great for sure. Loved this when it came out and it stands up. Could even be 4.5

Nice vibes. Don't like live albums that much although this is charming in parts. September Rain and Honeysuckle Rose my faves. Maybe a 3.
