Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Absolutely love this, first album so far that will go onto my playlist

Document by R.E.M.

I'm not sure i can write bland for every review but I'm going to again for this one

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Sep 05 2024

Never realised how good the drumming was!

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Sep 06 2024

Not for me. Couldn't get past 3 tracks

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Sep 09 2024

Strong blondie vibes, theb took me down an elvis constellation rabbit hole so happy with that. Skidmarks on my heart was the highlight

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Sep 10 2024

This is right up my street, good ol proper blues and superb guitar noodling! A bit repetitive, but let's face it, that's basically what blues is

Tommy by The Who
Sep 11 2024

Honestly, I just can't get on with the Who. I tried again but got 2 tracks in and just had to turn it off

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 16 2024

I'm completely biased as it's on of my formative albums as a teen. It's not perfect but it's damn close. Just a total peach.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 17 2024

This was fantastic. I've heard various willy Nelson but never listened through a full album. Enjoyed almost every track

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Sep 18 2024

Absolutely love this, first album so far that will go onto my playlist

Violator by Depeche Mode
Sep 24 2024

I was not expecting to like this Then bam, first track, great. Second track, poor Third track great And so on, liked some of it, hated other bits but was certainly better than I expected from a genre I don't embrace.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 30 2024

One of my major life turning point albums when nu metal really found its feet and style, and still a near perfect album today. Every tracks a winner, shame about most of the albums that followed!

Fragile by Yes
Oct 01 2024

I'm not sure I'd say yes but I wouldn't say no. To be honest just a little bland with a bit too much noodling but some okay tracks

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Oct 02 2024

Honestly I got 3 tracks in and gave up. A bit bowie-ish in parts but not my thing at all

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Oct 04 2024

Tbh I got bored about halfway through and gave up. Not his best

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Oct 08 2024

I mean, it's not offensive is it. I put it on in the house and completely forgot it was going on periodically. Very background music to me

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 09 2024

I do like a bit of nick cave, but haven't really listened to many full albums. Id say I liked every track on this, but I found it a bit samey and whilst absent minded listening found one track could have easily been another. Liked the songs but not sure about the full album

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 11 2024

I'm just not into Bowie enough to make it through another album. I tried and failed

With The Beatles by Beatles
Oct 14 2024

Yep, big fan. Not an albums I've listened to a lot but very good

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 15 2024

I think i could happily like every individual song on this, but it's just samey and I lost interest as a full album

Oct 16 2024

I honestly think the 80s were the lowest decade for music and this hasn't helped sway my opinion

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 17 2024

I got quite excited reading the description of the band on Spotify because I've never heard of them, but this is dreadful

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Oct 18 2024

We played at a blues festival on the Isle of Wight and after the gig there was a late night Jam session and it basically sounded exactly like this for about four hours. I went to bed after 10 minutes because it sounded exactly like this but I could hear it downstairs for a long time after and it was just as dull as this is

xx by The xx
Oct 21 2024

I knew the XX from the radio and was pretty sure I didn't like them, but actually thought this was a really decent album

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Oct 22 2024

I know one of these songs well from a movie soundtrack and enjoyed the whole album

Oct 23 2024

This was a challenge for sure. I kept absolutely despising it and then all of a sudden it would be absolutely beautiful and then it would leak back into being a shocking moment of noodling. It's like they're taken the post war music that I love and over jazzed the hell out of it

Document by R.E.M.
Oct 28 2024

I'm not sure i can write bland for every review but I'm going to again for this one

Disintegration by The Cure
Oct 29 2024

I really want to like the Cure as a wannabe goth emo boy but it just doesn't do a great deal for me other than the odd track

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 31 2024

Never liked the PSBs much, or just thisbera of music generally! I tried, but wasn't converted

Imagine by John Lennon
Nov 01 2024

It's Beatlesy at the end if the day, so certainly not bad but also not as good as most beatles albums

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Nov 04 2024

Some absolutely classics, but not as good as I hoped throughout

Nov 05 2024

I feel like I should like the smiths... And i bloody do, big fan! I don't think this is their strongest album but I can merrily listen to it

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Nov 07 2024

I actually liked this a lot

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 11 2024

Honestly, I absolutely hate it. This os hell for me

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 12 2024

I thought I'd love this, but I didn't really

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 14 2024

This isn't my bag usually but I put it on in the car and got pretty into it. Decent enough!

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Nov 15 2024

First track i thought I'd hate this, but turns out I actually know some of the songs. Not bad. Enjoyed it

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Nov 18 2024

I find this pretty background music but at the same time it was very pleasant

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Nov 20 2024

I love his voice but it wasn't an exciting album. Basically I wish it was better because I'd probably love it

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Nov 21 2024

Yup, nice and simple, had this on in the car and enjoyed it

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 22 2024

Pretty doll, at least it was also pretty short

Heroes by David Bowie
Nov 26 2024

I'll be honest, I didn't listen because I've heard it quite a lot before and I'm just not that into Bowie, although I appreciate it's an important and decent album

Sister by Sonic Youth
Nov 29 2024

Approved

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 02 2024

I'm not a massive Stones fan but Gimme Shelter is one of the greatest songs of all time so that's taken this too to an easy three if not a four

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Dec 11 2024
