Aja by Steely Dan

Really talented band but not in a massive rush to hear again. Good to find out where de la soul sample comes from. Once you notice lisp it's in foreground. 6/10

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Jun 13 2024

Enjoyable first listen. Couple of fillers

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 14 2024

Nice chilled out album need to listen to again as I was in the gym. Not the right album for that but at the same time I didn't want to turn it off

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 15 2024

Dad rock. Easy enough listen. Sone nice production

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 15 2024

I appreciate the craft. She is talented no doubt. But of a lull early on after green light. I thought I world probably not listen to this again but towards the end I may give it another chance.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 26 2024

Funky heard about half 2/3 in the car. It's OK but not rushing to hear again.

War by U2
Jun 27 2024

I liked a lot of this. 7 out of 10 for me.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 29 2024

A good listen in the car. I liked what I heard will need to listen to it again

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 30 2024

Decent pop punk. I've never heard the album but have heard every song. Music for people who think they're edgy to singalong to. 5/10

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jul 01 2024

Nice listen will check again 7/10. Psychedelic grooves but sweet

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jul 07 2024

Nice songs lovely harmonies. A bit boring on first listen some ok tunes plus I didn't know they sang everybody's talkin. Was hoping for a little more 6/10

Jul 10 2024

Big beats a little dated at times. Sex pest vibes but done bangers 6.5/10

#1 Record by Big Star
Jul 11 2024

Some bangers at the start bit of a lull at the end. Will revisit 7.5/10

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jul 12 2024

Listened to this in gym. Not the ideal soundtrack but enjoyed it more than I was expecting. Not in a rush to hear it again but can see the appeal. Felt b like I was in the fallout universe. 5/10

S&M by Metallica
Jul 14 2024

Epic sounding. Not a massive Metallica fan but side 1 sounded big and I was impressed. A few decent moments on side 2 but attention waned. 7/10

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 18 2024

Decent funky rock. Some songs were a bit meh but good vibe with a small cameo from pe. 7/10

Jul 19 2024

Can't be in a mood listening to koffi. Vibes are v strong can't understand the lyrics but he makes me feel everything's OK. 7/10

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 20 2024

Heard before recently through this previously. I commented on not knowing I feel the earth move was CK. Wasn't in a rich to hear again.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jul 21 2024

Ok some songs dragged but they love prolonging a good riff. Heard a few of these before but the album has some good moments. 6/10

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jul 22 2024

Alright bit mor not nothing really excited me. Some good moments and well crafted. 5/10

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jul 26 2024

The man can holler really liked a lot of this. Short album too so I wasn't bored. 8/10

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 27 2024

Liked this a lot. Heard most of the songs but really liked the album. Definitely will be buying 8.5/10

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jul 30 2024

Really loved the first half of this. 2nd was decent but a bit more croony. Love their vocals especially lead singer. Thought after curtis Mayfield this may be left wanting. But no really liked it. 7.5/10

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 31 2024

Weird how this turned up after watching a video on tik tok about the artist. Some good moments but not my jam. 5/10

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Aug 01 2024

My heart sank a little when Kate Bush came up. However, I was surprised with this. She sounds sweet, chivvy and mental. First half of album was confusingly brilliant at times. 7.5/10

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 02 2024

Really talented band but not in a massive rush to hear again. Good to find out where de la soul sample comes from. Once you notice lisp it's in foreground. 6/10

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 03 2024

First half singles 2nd half b sides. Some crackers on her. Heard before but was good to listen to again 7/10

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Aug 04 2024

I love the byrds although this isn't my favourite album it's still good. 7/10

I had to listen to this on poor man's you tube as it's not on Spotify. Maybe the constant adverts were a blessing as this is some crazy confusing music. They're all good musicians yet the thread of consistency is thin. I've discovered thrash jazz but not in a massive rush to hear it again. If someone gave this 1 star or 5 stars I couldn't argue. I listened to it when I went to the shops and forgot what I was going in for. A very interesting listen. 5/10

B-52's by The B-52's
Aug 07 2024

Kooky, decent but after listening to thrash jazz felt relatively normal. Rock lobster is a better tune than I remembered. Enjoyable listen but didn't grab me 6/10

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Aug 08 2024

Good start decent ish at end. Songs about pussy in middle meh. Production is strong. A lot of talking justifying album title, hip hop and "for her ladies" even though songs are about pleasing men. 6/10

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Aug 09 2024

Classic album some top tunes on here. I own the album. Would score higher but solo fret wanking and long drum solo kills the vibe for me. 8/10

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Aug 10 2024

Liked this. Album is a bit on the long side but not much filler. Will listen to it again. Impressive songs and musicianship 7.5/10

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 11 2024

Quite apt to listen to this again deprived of sleep. Reminds me of first time I heard this album. Top 90s chilled d&b. Album is a bit long but a great album to lose yourself 7.5/10

Black Metal by Venom
Aug 14 2024

Raw production but some good moments. Very cliche themes about Satan. Not a bad listen though 6/10

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Aug 15 2024

I really enjoyed this. Couple of filler songs but the first tune piqued my interest from the off. I will need to check more of these 7.5/10

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 16 2024

Classic electro album from 90s. Still sounds fresh today. Heard it many times but good to hear again. 7.5/10

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Aug 17 2024

Hmmm there's some 80s party girls referenced in this album who are now grandmothers. Some decent moments but it reeks of rock bitch fury from 80s. Hasn't aged week 5/10

The La's by The La's
Aug 18 2024

Heard this loads of times but was happy to listen to it again. Not quite a masterpiece but not far off. Iou is maybe the worst song but even that's decent. 8.5/10

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Aug 19 2024

Heard it a few times before. Trent us quite the edge lord but it's a good album. March of the pigs and gave me nostalgia for mtv2. 7/10

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Aug 21 2024

I enjoyed this album. Really liked the bass and percussion and vocals are smooth. A real foot tapper. Will listen to this again 8/10

American Gothic by David Ackles
Aug 23 2024

Not for me. Obviously a great musician but not to my taste 4/10

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 25 2024

Really good album. Heard it before years ago but really appreciated it more than I expected. Great collab with Eminem. Great production and flow 8/10

Bad by Michael Jackson
Aug 28 2024

One of the first records I bought as a kid. Haven't heard it in years. Not as cheesy as I thought it would be even though title track is cringe. So be good songs sounds very 80s. 6/10

Rocks by Aerosmith
Sep 03 2024

Decent enjoyed it more than I expected to. First 3 songs were bangers. Kind of dipped after that but some strong moments. 7/10

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Sep 04 2024

Some great songs and some average songs. Long album with a bit of padding. Heard it before as I'm a massive pixies fan. First 4 albums anyway. Good to hear it again. 7/10

Be by Common
Sep 05 2024

Worth a listen. I liked the jazz sound. While listening I thought he sounded a bit like Kanye and then yesus appeared. Decent hip hop 6/10

Sep 06 2024

A few year ago I would scoff at coldplay. But I've always liked this album and have grown to appreciate them more. There are some great songs in here. There are a couple of songs I would happily skip but yeah it's a strong album 7.5/10

Sep 07 2024

Classic album. Some really good tunes. Whole album has a movie sound track feel. Got to be in the right mood to listen 7/10

Disintegration by The Cure
Sep 08 2024

Heard it before knew it was a 9/10 album. Any excuse to listen to it again. Marvelous.

Boston by Boston
Sep 10 2024

First track I thought I was tired of hearing but I'm not. Good album overall, I wasn't blown away but will give it another go. 7/10

Connected by Stereo MC's
Sep 13 2024

Yeah 90s whitexploition music. If shaft was from Manchester his ost would sound like this. Some good tunes but sounds early 90s 6/10

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Sep 14 2024

Can't help but listen to this with a smile. Didn't know what to expect but I had a foot tapping good time. I don't think I'll listen to this a lot but I hope tob remember to give it another go sometime. 7/10

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Sep 18 2024

As I get older I seem to be appreciating country music more. Beforehand I would have got bored of this after first couple of times. But I appreciated some of this album. I thought it was OK, but on first listen I didn't feel there was much depth ro this album. 6/10

Night Life by Ray Price
Sep 19 2024

Is this country or honky tonk either way in sure Ray was massive before the British invasion. Man can holler and croon. I found it a pleasant listen. 6/10

Nowhere by Ride
Sep 20 2024

Production sounds a bit muddy but there are some really good moments on this album. Andy Bells guitar sounds really big at times despite the bass and drums sounding squashed. I thought the album was a bit on the long side, there are a couple of tracksthat are filler, but I will definitely listen to it again. 8/10

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Sep 22 2024

Dreamlike music. I really enjoyed this. 8/10

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Sep 24 2024

One of my favourite hip hop albums as it was one of the gateways into the genre. There is a bit of a lull in the middle but excursions is a great opener and scenario are superb bookends as the songs decline and improve again per track. Even the meh songs though are better than a lot of rap today. 8.5/10

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 25 2024

Considering Nirvana is one of my all time faves I've never been a Foo Fighters fan. Even though Dave Grohl always seemed like the soundest guy in rock, it seems these days that's all an image that he projects and with the latest adultery and secret child, it seems apparent that all isn't as it seems. Anyway, back to the music. I've considered foo fighters to be dad rock for a while. However, I enjoyed this album more than I did in 95 when I first heard it. It sounds fresher and naive like a lot of good 90s music. There is some influences from other bands of the time. It doesn't sound as formulaic as more recent hits. 7/10

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Sep 26 2024

It' was background music to me but still pleasant to listen to. I'm not a massive fan of jazz but There were some moments that caught my attention. 6/10

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Oct 02 2024

Great album pop punk disco. Heard many times before but good to hear again 8/10

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Oct 03 2024

One of their better albums. A good selection of tunes. I've heard it a few times back in late 90s but kind of forgot about it. Good to give it another listen. 7/10

Oct 04 2024

First half of album this man is in pain. 2nd half is a bop. Surprised that this is the guy who sang wanderer. Album was a bit too long but it's good 7/10
