Imagine

John Lennon

4/5

Loved this album when I first listened to it. Must admit I wasn’t too keen on this on repeat listen, a lot of filler, combined with some of the best post-Beatles songs, takes this album from an average to a good album. “How do you sleep” is still the most underrated song of Lennon’s back catalogue. A respectable 7/10.

One of, if not the best, indie album ever. Inspired all my favourite bands and soundtracked my teenage years. Love this album more than some distant family members. Forever grateful to you, Julian Casablancas xx

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

Loved the haunting synth atmosphere to this whole album. Superb.

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Will die on the hill that “Pop-Punk” is the worst genre of music to exist. Wretched, cringe-worthy, yank trash. Saying all that, I have a soft spot for Green Day and have enjoyed their music from afar, without every being really invested in the band. This is the first Green Day album I’ve ever listened to and unsurprisingly, I enjoyed it. It’s fine, nowt special, just fine. 7/10

Yeezus

Kanye West

Objectively a good piece of music but I really could not be any less interested in a Jazz album from 1958.

Revolver

5/5

If there was a “1 album to listen before you die” book, this would be the first and last entry. 10/10 🐐/🐐

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Set the blueprint for the Pixies’ iconic sound. Very much the precursor for the masterpiece that is Doolittle. Bossonova > Surfer Rosa, thoooo

AC/DC man, a band that’s aged like milk on a radiator.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

2/5

Starts well but wears thin by the end. *Maybe need a repeat listen*. 5/10.

Scissor Sisters

4/5

Lots of big, fun, gay party hits. 7/10

Permission to Land

The Darkness

2/5

We’re all in agreement that this is a bit shite, right? *subconsciously banged my head to a few tracks which saves this from being a 1/5.* 3/10

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Quite a substantial step down from THE Rolling Stones albums. Meant as no criticism due to the quality of their later bodies of work. Still a formative piece of music for one of the greatest to ever do it.

3/5

A dense, layered, multi genre album. It feels disingenuous to give this any kind of rating after one listen. Probably would take 4/5 listens to really appreciate the complexity of this album.

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

2/5

Bad but probably closer to ‘So bad it’s good’ than ‘bad’ but still quite bad.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

2/5

It’s a jazz album. Hence the rating.

2/5

Starts off with the sound of a TIE Fighter, which is perhaps a fitting metaphor for this album: starts off fast, strong and sounds cool. Finishes off by crashing and burning in a big fucking mess.
