Blonde On Blonde
Bob Dylan
Upon listening to the first track, I thought this record was probs not for me. I carried on trying to be less judgemental of a genre I am less familiar with and surprised myself.
I particularly enjoyed the lyrics, they tell a believable story when trying to, and express very real feeling, not glamourised or embellished.
Some of the songs were not for me, and this is not the type of thing I would usually listen to, but i still enjoyed the record overall :)
Plus cool album name and cover!
Highlights:
- Visions of Johanna
- One of us must know (SoL)
- I want you
- Just like a woman <3
- Absolutely sweet Marie
- Fourth time around
- Obviously five believers
- sad-eyed lady

I hadn’t heard of them, but recognised the first track immediately. It’s giving me retro coming of age movie soundtrack straight off the bat.
I can appreciate that this is good music, and I like the vibe. Although, it’s not really something I would listen to in my own time.
I like the instrumental bits!
Highlights:
- More than a feeling
- Smokin
- Hitch a ride !

Pretty much what I expected lyrically from what I already knew about this album. I really rate the concept and the use of music to spread this message.
+ points for sick band/record name and sick cover
Having been gradually introduced to heavier sounds than I was used to through bands like the Hives, I found myself enjoying the sound of this music a lot more than I would have previously. I like it! It’s a little intense lyrically to just slap on casually though I feel..
Hightlights:
- Bombtrack !
- Killing in the name
- Bullet in the head
- Know your enemy
- Wake up

Thelonious Monk
Really enjoyed as someone who has not quite cracked casually listening to jazz yet. The length of songs is often intimidating however I did not feel the time pass with this record.
Highlights:
- Brilliant corners
- Pannonica !!
