The Doors

4/5

Fun album - Very enjoyable listen Solid 8/10 Unfortunately I'm a basic fellow, so Light My Fire was my favourite track (so good)

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

2/5

I'm all for structural and thematic continuity in an album but JESUS CHRIST can a dude get SOME variation pls? Or perhaps I was just not in the mood for reggae today.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

3.5/5 No strong thoughts really - pleasant enough. Can appreciate how Fats was a gateway/harbinger for the transition from blues to rock and roll, but would I listen to this on my own? Unlikely.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

2/5

Can see how this would have been super influential and innovative for the time. Just sounds like a generic ringtone that's been auto-installed on your phone now.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Fun listen. An incredible vocal performance on an album that is tailor-made to show off her vocal chops. However, besides her performance I don't think the album was particularly novel or really pushes the R&B / soul envelope, even for its time. 7.5/10 if I could, but will round that off to a 4/5 here.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

So good. So 80s. Immaculate production. Bop after bop. An easy 8.5 to 9/10

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

4/5

Liked this more than I expected to. Very West Coast, very 90s hip hop and I thought that the production has surprisingly held up really well! Dragged a tad in the middle / towards the latter part of the album, but solid solid album. 7.5 / 10

Pump

Aerosmith

4/5

Very nice album. Harder than the Aerosmith I'm used to but it somehow works very well? Also a very unusual mix between your average MTV themes and and your louder metal ethos, but somehow that worked for me as well! Solid 8.25 / 10.

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

5/5

Genuinely phenomenal. The fact that this is a live album is ABSURD! Easy 9/10.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Really enjoyed this. Almost entirely hits, despite being so diverse. A lot of the album still sounds super fresh. 8.25 / 10

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Really liked this. She has a beautiful voice and the album is just really pretty. 8 / 10

Kollaps

Einstürzende Neubauten

1/5

Congrats on the creativity or whatever, but this is not for me lol

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

Fantastic album - production is immaculate and so many epic tracks. Thought it did have a couple of skips, and thematically was a bit much for me at times though. 7.75 / 10

Songs The Lord Taught Us

The Cramps

3/5

This album was released way too late for this sound to be even mildly original anymore. In general just mid, I thought. 5.5 / 10

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

3/5

All for live albums but not a fan of how much song time the announcer gets here lol broke the flow way too often. Nice jazz besides that though. 6.5 / 10

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

One of the few albums on this catalogue that I'd already heard, and it just gets better with more listens. Absolutely adore it. The softer tracks slap as hard as the peppier ones do, and imo this is a 0-skip album. 9.25 / 10

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Really enjoyed this. Couple of skips, perhaps, but the highs were incredible. 9 / 10

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Mid in every conceivable way.

So Much For The City

The Thrills

4/5

Fun. 67 / 100.
