good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

Kendrick

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Has some nice riffs and moments i very much enjoyed, but other than in 'heard it through the grapevine' the songs seemed to either waffle too much, or just to degenerate into a kind of bluegrass american south thing i could just as easily get from Cash.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

I like this a whole lot better than more recent rap, 90s hip-hop has a flow i can respect, and the ability to create a really solid groove out of like christmas bells or something totally mental is a skill AF + this album is fucking awesome as shit

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

i really liked this album, the bright synths against the thumping bass, string arrangements set alongside prince's flowing vocals. there are a couple of weaker moments, but songs like 'purple rain' and 'computer blue' prove the weak spots the exception rather than the rule

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

4/5

This is much more my home territory, the influence of blues and hard rock, juxtaposed against more proggy tones ('child in time') resonates well with the music I already listen to. Specifically the distorted guitar tones, and the gliding organ solos fits my genre of choice. The bass riff on 'into the fire' is heavy AF, the organ slides on 'living wreck' too, and although not technically an original album track, I really like the main riff on Black Night. My only caveat being, and this goes for a whole lot of 70s rock, there's this high pitched vocal scream/shout thing a lot of heavy rock does that i dont really like but other than that.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

yeah i mean its fine. like i dont actively dislike it but i wouldnt go out of my way to listen to it. i like 'starlight' for its interesting chords, but really disliked 'jungle' - mainly because it was shit - didnt mind 'big wheels', 'mr blue sky' would be worse if it wasnt nostalgic

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

5/5

Man this is a fucking classic I've had an absolutely mental couple days but holy shit does this feel like a warm hug to get back to. I'm not gonna name specific tracks, it's too consistantly good and im way too delirious.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

2/5

its been pretty annoying so far, 'homesick's alright, some of the riffs are alright, punk isnt my thing like at all so. For an abum with such good guitar tones its pretty underwhelming. i quite like 'country yard' for its harmonies but if i want harmonies i'll just go the beach boys, and even in rare moments of enjoyment you get an absolute piece of shit tune like 'factory that totally fucking obliterates the vibe and or mood. feels more like a couple good songs and tonnes of badly written upbeat funk punk or whatever the fuck the intolerable parts are (which is most of it). again 'mary jane' is okay which is then immediately followed by 'aint no room' which features a guitar line remeniscent of an air raid siren, and equally as pleasant as one.

Triangle

The Beau Brummels

3/5

I am really enjoying the baroque pop influences, a few tracks are really neat, and the dip in quality with those less good is not substantial. the use of effects creates a rich tapestry of sound, which, when complimented by the meandering fantastical lyrics, provides a pleasant listening experience. my highlights were 'nine pound hammer', 'magic hollow' - the only track i'd heard before, and 'the wolf of velvet fortune'

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

1/5

Learn to play more than 4 chords mate fucking hell

Live At Leeds

The Who

3/5

hard rock isnt so much my thing but man has this been good so far, the energy of the performance is stunning from the outset, replete with some killer bass licks its just a pretty cool album

Debut

Björk

4/5

im so fucking ill i cant write a review i like this album

Heartattack And Vine

Tom Waits

2/5

spitty speach

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

Totally fuckd this one and didnt listen to it yesterday but i dug out my cd today and looked at the music video for bittersweet symphony and learned that everyone in this band hates eachother now. Pretty good album i like it. neo-psychedelic influences are interesting and lend a lot to the albums composition. beats fucking oasis.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

some really cool tracks, but others that just dont feel needed, i think i may have accidentally listened to the super extended version though

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

the sheer fucking sleeze i felt listening to this album is second only to the grimiest blues. unfortunately substantial drop in quality from like track 13 - dont even mind hey that much, one of them just doesnt fucking work for me and the rest of the album kinda suffered for it i guess. tracks like thin line and whats golden make this a really reasonable listen. interludes feel consistent and not even that pretentious.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

yeah i mean its just soft rock really, sometimes with an extra special really boring twist but like

4/5

the only couple minutes i managed to force myself to endure sounded like self indulgent, pretentious, spandex-clad bullshit. maybe there's some shit encrusted gem if you have the human will to dig through all the layers of filth but i simply do not.
