Metallica

3/5

Sheer Heart Attack

Queen

1/5

Violent Femmes

2/5

Pretty dire fare overall

Disraeli Gears

Cream

2/5

Would’ve been 3 had it not been for that inexcusable last track

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Found his voice a bit grating when hitting the high notes initially. Some really good songs but nothing too exciting and tails off a bit. 3.5/5 if it were possible

The Man Who

Travis

2/5

Thought it started ok, first 3 songs had a bit about them but it turned at Driftwood and then got worse and worse. Soft as shite. ‘Why does it always rain on me’ encapsulates the whinging wetness of it all. The hidden track is miles better than anything on the album and gives it an extra point.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

2/5

Insipid and bland

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Album starts well but really plummets after the beast that is Where is my mind. All a bit wacky towards the end.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Enjoyed a lot more than I thought. Some songs I knew thy didn’t realise was by him. Cats in the Cradle better than Father and Son though

Haut de gamme / Koweït, rive gauche

Koffi Olomide

5/5

Didn’t listen to it all, but given he’s arranged this whole operation I’ll give him 5 stars. Keep up the great work KO

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Nice album. Nothing special but an enjoyable listen. The album was about as remarkable as this review

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. Just was just a load of bang average Smiths songs. One stood out as decent until the bass solo came in and stuck around for too long like an odious fart. 5/10. Round it down because of, well, Morrisey

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Enjoyed this and as per other reviews have suggested, wonderful holiday listening. Wouldnt go full on giving it the Buena Vista big one like the others, as doubt I’d be able to pick it out of line up of other similar Cuban music

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

5/5

Love this album. It’s like the soundtrack from a yet to be made Robert Eggers film about two villages at war over accusations of witchcraft, failed crops and general weirdness in the 17th Century. Wish they’d done a 20th anniversary tour of this album as would be absolute mayhem. The album is 4/5 but the brilliant song titles give it and extra half mark and another extra half mark to juice the score.
