I sit in purgatory, hoping for Fools Gold to end. The end does not come. Soon I wish for death. Still... the end does not come.

David Bowie

4/5

Coked up nonsense. 8/10

At Folsom Prison

The prisoners laughing and cheering whenever he mentions doing something naughty is delightfully macabre. Enjoyable listen 7/10

S&M

Metallica

Ahh this takea me back to my chikdhood as a metalhead. Its also like my chuldhood in that it has some real high highs and some real low lows.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

3, possibly 4 fellas tryna talk my tousers off to the sound of dusty beats and filthy basslines.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

Some great songs on here. Overall held back by a couple of country inspired monstrosities. 6/10

4/5

If sampling was the industrial revolution of music, this album is the moon landing

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

Almost as good as a grand dont come for free. Also a lot like a grand dont come for free in that you remove one track (real) and it's pretty much perfect.. 9/0 Still in the hood

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

1/5

Paint it black good. Everything else so so so so so so so so bad. 1/10

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Incredibly 80s. Tony levin absolutely kills it. His inclusion pushes it to 4 stars for me. Sledgehammer oc2 with a pick, so sick. CS-80/10

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

2/5

At first i thought this was gonna be another rolling stones-esque slog, but the psychadelic boat ride it became meant i actually enjoyed parts of it. Don't think id listen again so it gets a 2 but very close to 3 stars

Tom rips out my heart and leaves me smelling of cigarrettes

A confusing, noisy mess of an album. Rather enjoyed it. It's all fun and games until the last track

This Is Hardcore

Pulp

3/5

Nice to have something challenge my britpop prejudices as I ended up enjoying quite a bit of this. When the lyrics aren't desperately horny they can be quite moving. Some of the melodies are sublime, it's just not my prefered instrumental pallete
