Taylor Swift

3/5

Fine, but Taylor has better albums with better songs. I enjoyed Willow.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

The album was surprisingly emotional, but no song grabbed me. The lyrics were dark and introspective whilst the music was light, smooth, and jazzy - the contrast was interesting!

R.E.M.

4/5

I enjoyed this album; great light rock sound, and an interesting variety of songs. Couple of songs I really like were “Finest Worksong” and “Exhuming McCarthy”. Classics on this album too.

Talking Heads 77

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Couldn’t get into the album, though I understand why he was such a charismatic star of his time. His vocal style just wasn’t for me.

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

4/5

I enjoyed this album, it reminded me of Jack White but more voluminous and detailed

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

Great album, a classic. Hard to know if I liked it so much already because of years of familiarity or if it is that great an album. “Oh Darling” is perhaps my favourite Beatle song.

Iron Maiden

2/5

Not a big fan of the unrefined sound. Songs sounded the same and there was too much instrumentation.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

I enjoyed the songs War Pigs and Hand of Doom. Classic goth rock sounds to my ear, but what do I know! I enjoyed the listen through but wouldn’t necessarily listen to the whole album again.

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

3/5

Album wasn’t for me, but I can see how someone who is in to R’n’B would enjoy it. Not bad!

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

I had a hard time rating this album. It really falls between 3 and 4 stars for me, as it has some all time great songs e.g. Give It Away, Suck My Kiss, Breaking the Girl, and Under the Bridge. I also found I quite liked I Could Have Lied. But the other songs were too jagged and funky for me - I just don’t have that level of funk I think!

Low

David Bowie

3/5

I liked the feel of the album, but nothing really grabbed my attention. Some of the instrumental pieces I really enjoyed.

In It For The Money

Supergrass

3/5

The album had a good sound, but most songs blended into one another for me.

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

I can see Kendrick’s appeal, but I found the message of the album mostly lost on me. I did appreciate the stories of his life and that of the disadvantaged youth experienced growing up with drugs and crime. No subtlety to it, but good beats. I like one or two songs and would listen again e.g. m.A.A.d city and swimming pools. I kind of liked Backstreet Freestyle too

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Didn’t really gel with me, though some motifs in some songs did catch my attention.

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

4/5

I enjoyed the lightness of this album, and the wistful notes about love. Lots of easy listening songs, and a few hits.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

I found the album a bit too heavy for me I think, which surprised me. Maybe I don’t feel the same level of agression / angst that I might have had a as a teenager - but even then, I don’t think it would have been for me. Bar “In The End” nothing stuck with me. The sound was like Papa Roach crossed with Evanescence.

Black Sabbath

2/5

Didn’t really tickle my fancy, and I preferred their album “Paranoid”. I liked N.I.B, but felt that songs blended together on the album overall.

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

Didn’t like it, just not my kind of music at all. Maybe one song I kind of like (“Human NRG”)

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

3/5

It was fine, just fine.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

3/5

Nice easy listening music. Unfortunately I couldn’t understand the language which made it harder to relate too.

Tapestry

Carole King

4/5

An excellent album, I really enjoyed so much of this easy to listen to but emotive album. I hadn’t heard Carole King before, but knew some of the hits from the album - but the overall album was great!

The Cars

3/5

Just fine, nothing really stuck with me.

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

I don’t know why but this album surprised me! I enjoyed the rough, grungey, poor vocals, mashed with the background riffs - I enjoyed this!

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Wasn’t for me, but not a bad album overall.
