On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

Bland and dragging. I had to check that speed was actually at x1. No energy, no soul in there.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

Chipmunk soul is definitely not for me. I tried to give this album a fair listen, and couldn't help but skip most of it.

On The Beach

Neil Young

2/5

Bland and dragging. I had to check that speed was actually at x1. No energy, no soul in there.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

I only knew Green River from GTA SA's K-DST. 4/5 for this track alone. Rest of the album is pretty meh.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Damn. I didn't expect to not like this one. Of course a lot of classics in there, Aladdin Sane, The Prettiest Star... but even these are hard to listen to now. Not a bad album, but the comparison with Hunky Dory (released 2 years earlier) makes it feel bland.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Meh. A very average RHCP album. Not a fan of Kiedis' voice so I'm biased.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

Not really my jam but the talent and soul put in this album is evident. Nice recommendation.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Good vibes, albeit a bit cheesy now. Hard to ignore the uses and remixes of those hits. A "great at the time" album.

Electric

The Cult

3/5

I like the Cult style but... This album isn't that exciting. Lots of very similar tracks, and the few catchy tunes are very cheesy to 2024 standards. Rated "Cool but won't listen again".

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

4/5

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Classic masterpiece. Requires a certain mood though. Rated "Love it but played so many times I don't really want to listen to it anymore".

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

In my top 5 albums for sure. There's a bit of everything for everyone in there. One of the few albums I don't get tired of listening on repeat.

Mott

Mott The Hoople

3/5

Not a fan of the singers voice, nor the down tempo tracks. A couple of gems though!

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Beautiful jazz album!

Future Days

Can

2/5

Cool percussion work, but overall very experimental and hard to listen to.

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

3/5

Lovely energy, unfortunately this piece of work did not age very well.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

Fat cover, fat sound, fat album. 10/5.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

1/5

wtf was that

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Eeh. Production quality stood the test of time. Feels a lot like angry teenager music though, it's hard to listen to now.

Moby Grape

2/5

The most average 67' rock album you could think of. So, very good music if you're into that.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

4/5

Great album, very deep and always interesting. The B1 track must have been sampled a gazillion times by the lofi squad, the whole B side is chops galore.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Yeah yeah great album and all that... Like a lot of these recommendations, I find it hard to listen to it out of the context of their iconic/boomer status.

Back In Black

AC/DC

4/5

The Stranger

Billy Joel

3/5

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby

Girls Against Boys

3/5

No Other

Gene Clark

3/5
