good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

enjoyed more than I expected incredible storytelling and blend of sounds two title tracks were possibly my favourites

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

not my cup of tea really can appreciate the poetry of it, but the slowness doesn’t do it for me 3/4 out of 10

Station To Station

David Bowie

4/5

enjoyed!! not my fave Bowie but I liked the title track a lot and TVC15- would happily listen again and see if the others grow on me prob more of a 3.5- 6/7 out of 10

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

liked the opening track, the rest of the album was pleasant too not sure if I would actively listen to again 6/10 or perhaps 5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

not bad- but to me, nothing particularly special? I liked the swampy rock sounds and it was a pleasant listen but not much more than that 2.5ish, 5/10

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

didn’t click for me immediately 6/10

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

brimming with bangers! obligatory hate for phil spector

Rapture

Anita Baker

2/5

fine, but equally totally forgettable 3/10

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

4/5

some instant bangers and others that could defo be growers!! really satisfying harmonies and catchy lyrics 8/9 out of 10

Parklife

Blur

4/5

surprisingly enjoyed?! maybe I’m being generous since this is my first generated britpop album (of which I hear there are MANY) but I really liked the ‘patchwork’ influences and sounds on this album, I can definitely see myself returning to it solid 8/10, could become a 9

Faith

George Michael

4/5

some solid tunes that I will definitely return to!! George had such a gorgeous voice 8/10

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

unsurprisingly enjoyed!! perhaps a bit too long but I would listen again - jungle, across the border and obvs mr blue sky as highlights 8 out of 10

Pretenders

3/5

fine, I see the vision but it didn’t grab me immediately. apart from wondering how much Chrissie Hynde influenced Florence Welch 6/10

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

better than their other one but still not particularly my cup of tea 3.5 (7 out of 10)

1989

Taylor Swift

5/5

I would be denying my true self if I didn’t give this 5 stars: the album that defined pop music in the 2010’s, and massively shaped my listening taste. I remember my dad getting me the deluxe edition from HMV on release day, and being instantly obsessed on first listen. Clean, Style, and Out of the Woods are some of my all time Swift songs. Honestly it’s a shame the TV album fumbles some of the production so hard- I’ll always keep coming back to the OG. 10 out of fuckin 10

...Baby One More Time

Britney Spears

3/5

First three tracks are a generational run, and completely justify the album’s inclusion… sadly the rest is mostly forgettable bubblegum pop 5 out of 10

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

stand in the place where yo- 5/10 (may revisit)

Electric

The Cult

1/5

so forgettable and that’s not what a good rock album should be… and that born to be wild cover honestly sucked 2.5/10

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

a very long album that only became a little boring in the last 20 mins or so.. enjoyed the album overall and the diverse mix of sounds and genres 8 out of 10

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

4/5

surprised - first three tracks are great 8 out of 10
