Amazing voice. Not my cup of tea though.

Meh. Too folksie for me.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

More bluesy than I remember.

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

A bit too samey and mellow for me this one. I much prefer his later work where he mixes in more upbeat tracks.

Rising Above Bedlam

Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart

1/5

No thanks.

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

Easy listen. Sounds like he was in his prime here.

Scum

Napalm Death

1/5

Terrible. Could only handle the first few tracks of unintelligible screaming.

Common

3/5

Quite liked this.

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

4/5

This is still exceptionally clever and seems more like a play than a musical album at times. However, I must be getting old because I now found parts of this disturbing and now think, 'would I like it if my teenage kids listened to this?'. A big change to when I first heard it as 20yr old. The answer may still be yes, but take note to the parts where he spouts not to take his rap persona as the real person he is.

Cafe Bleu

The Style Council

2/5

Fairly easy but unremarkable listen. 'You're the best thing' saves this album.

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

4/5

Dreamy. Good late night chill listening.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

Qui sème le vent récolte le tempo

Great classic hip hop beats. Doesn't matter if you can't understand it.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

1/5

Boring.

I would have thought they had better albums.

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

Madman Across The Water

4/5

I was surprised by how country inspired this album is. 4 stars just for Tiny Dancer.

En-Tact

The Shamen

2/5

I'm surprised this has been included as an early 90's rave classic. Could have gone for many other options. This was kind of average when it came out.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast

Badly Drawn Boy

3/5

Some nice chill tunes but dragged on a bit in parts for me.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

3/5

Can't help but think of the BOTTOM theme song.

French chillout genius.
