Favourite song - Night swimming 3/5

Nothing standing out to me

Much more my vibe than the last 2! Rock on

Enjoying this a lot! Good for chilling out to and vibing. Maybe jazz isn't so bad.

For a band I quite enjoy, and previously would have listed as a favourite, this was not the vibe

Enjoying this listen - partly because of my nostalgia for some great tracks like the perfect Christmas track God Only Knows, and of course Sloop John B. Much of it is not grabbing me, but I can tell they're classics and popular

I can imagine a band of fiddlers and pipers in times of old processing between towns playing this and it's such such a vibe

This jumped out at me at first but then tailed off and Sam found it annoying. Probably a 3 but I would look forward to other albums by her

It's giving Beatles which I don't love. It has a fun familiar sound though "what's your name, who's your daddy"

Already a big yes! I know I love this one. It's still a winner

Not sure about this one. I'd probably like it if I were in the right mood but let's see how it pans out. On further listen I don't love it but don't hate it. 2-3 rating would be right I think

Loving this! Definitely my style. Reminds me a bit of Pearl Jam as well. Need deep dive. 4 star

Already expectations are high before I even start the album because I know Janelle Monae is a babe. Ok this is a great one. Likely my first new-to-me 5 star listen. Really enjoying myself here. Incredible stuff, ready for round 2 whilst cooking

Chill country vibes

Oohh I know this one. It's a classic, as ever!

Nothing stood out or leapt out here. The album art was more interesting than the album itself here!

Astonished that this was 2005. Is my current taste skewing that perception? Or is this album so fresh that it sounds like today's music? Must have been crazy listening to it when it came out. It's a 4 or 5 from me

Our boy Common from Silo. Loved this, surprisingly. Not by style, but enjoyable enough for a second listen. Would be better without Kanye though...

Nothing really stood out to me. Maybe Windmills Of The Mind. But inoffensive

Fantastic! On a second listen I can tell it's a grower. I'm going to give it 5 stars to remind myself I need a deep dive

This is fun! Fun-weird. I probably wouldn't listen to it a lot, but it's a unique sound.

I didn't like this much. Was just waiting for it to end, no standout tracks for me

Another previously familiar album was good fun today! Bit of a rock out. Some excellent tracks on here that deserve their fame

Gentle rock and roll. A few good tunes, enjoyable

Not my style, but a couple of good ones, will relisten

Inoffensive but not very interesting to me so far.

She's a legend but this soft jazz doesn't especially do it for me

Oh yes, an old friend. Let's go! Favourites were Think About Me, Storm, Tusk

This just feels... a bit much?

Somehow I have no comments to make? Which is a surefire 3

Amazed that this got on the list. Couldn't even finish it

Surprisingly liked this, given my general thoughts are that Coldplay are very white bread. Some bangers here and I'm now getting a bit of a grasp on why they're so popular

Last Mile Davis album was a surprise to me, loved the smooth jazz so excited for this one! Really chill vibes, long meditative calm.

Oh this is a wonderful surprise! Electronica vibes. I'm really into it. Another band for a deep dive.

I don't think this is really for me. Not my style and didn't grip me. I've relegated my thoughts from a potential 4 to a probable 2 over the course of the album. Probably didn't help that I listened to it in fragments...

This goes harder than I've been renting recently, but I just know that I'd enjoy rocking out to this at a festival or concert!

Absolutely not my style, but I appreciate the sounds 2/5

Chilled soul but no standouts

An almost entirely new genre to me! Ska?! But a remarkable number of familiar melodies that I enjoyed jamming out to. Consider my mind opened.

Fun and chaotic trip, 3 or 4

Hype for this album was high... then I started listening. Nothing much standing out or making me excited, but it's pleasant enough

Amazingly, I kinda loved this! 4 star plus maybe deep dive

I know I was a sceptic here - but then my absolute favourite Elvis song popped off, gotta add a star for this

Not very interesting, but no strong dislike either

Really liked this one, probably a grower. Emo grungy kinda sound

Enjoyed this a lot! Opens with fun ethereal witchy vibes

No stand outs for me

This is pretty good. No stand outs but a general feel of rocky nostalgia from my early years of listening to The Stones

Enjoyed this. Sound like Elvis, lovely voice

I think I'm in the minority here but I just don't see anything that big or exciting going on. Couldn't largely distinguish each song

Amazed how much the rap albums I actually seem to enjoy.

I can't fault the fun and chaos of a 16 min drum solo here!

Already know I love this album! It's great to see old friends as I make my way through this big list. An easy five star, with some old favourites and some deeper cuts that I didn't know well at the time

Loud girly rock, I dig but probably wouldn't hunt out

Favourite song - Pocahontas. I'd describe this as Cowboy Rock and quite enjoyed it, apart from the distorted sound occasionally. 3 or 4

Fun bops, leaning more towards 4 than 3 but I'm not sure I would seek this out independently

Pretty dull and not for me. Background at best 2

Really just a bit much. Maybe more enjoyable in the right mood but this morning wasn't it 2

Very pleasant surprise

I hate to say that I enjoyed this a bit (but at least it's from before he went off the rails). A few great samples and generally enjoyable listening 3

Perfect coffee and chill tunes

An old friend who's stood the test of time

A few fun bops I guess but not a favourite

Was enjoying this until there were two 12 min almost identical songs with no words, and then I was waiting for it to end

A few high points but not really for me 2

2 stars for the Speakerboxxx and 4 stars for The Love Below, which had some real bops

Throwback. Good electronic nostalgic sounds
