Guero by Beck
Dec 06 2024

Decent in places. That first track is that song from that thing back in the 00s… Rental Car feels very Nirvana unplugged

Live At Leeds by The Who
Dec 07 2024

I’m a sucker for a live album. I think my dad might have been there for this. Loves it. Some epic self indulgence going on with this one

Odelay by Beck
Dec 08 2024

Some good, mostly forgettable. ‘Minus’ is a highlight but a lot of it feels like background music. Quite strange how it flips between genres.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Dec 09 2024

Fight Test feels like a modern take of ‘Father & Son’. Much better than the boyzone one anyway… On the whole it was good

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Dec 10 2024

Don’t mind this at all. Decent music to chill out to - would be keen to hear more from him. Will definitely be coming back to this one.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Dec 11 2024

Decent enough to listen to while doing something else to pass the time. Background music at best with no real standouts.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Dec 12 2024

Never really dug too deep into Radiohead (outside of OK Computer anyway) despite going to see them tour this album. This is very good though - I’ve been sleeping on these guys for too long. Will be coming back to this one for sure and exploring more (I would hazard a guess that there will be a few more of their albums on here…)

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Dec 13 2024

Well this was something different… Listening to this is like being transported to a different era. Surprisingly listenable. Is that a phrase? It is now. I prefer the up tempo ones giving full energy. 4/5 would big band again.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Dec 14 2024

What a debut album. Say what you want about the later stuff but this is absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately I think they peaked here… Zero skip tracks on this one. Full marks.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Dec 15 2024

Sounds like it helped shape the Brit pop sound of the 90s. Nothing exciting, nothing awful. Struggling to pick out a real highlight - probably I Don’t Know at a push? Probably more of a 2.5 than a 3 for me.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Dec 17 2024

Struggled a bit with this one… Opening track has a lot of promise then gets very forgettable. Prove My Love almost brings it back but that track is basically the first song re-hashed.
