Not particularly cohesive as a record for me. Some big tunes but otherwise a slog.

I only knew Black Hole Sun before listening to this record. Its quite lengthy but I did enjoy it more and more as it went along.

An album known to me, including some of my favourite ever tracks. Can't remember the last time I did a listen through so I enjoyed this greatly.

After Fugees near perfect The Score yesterday this was always going to struggle to match that. Decent but not sure I'll come back to it.

A classic. What more to say? Sound and Vision goated Bowie song too.

I found this a pretty dull listen as I have done in the past. Some fun moments like South Side but trip hop Moby just doesn't do it for me.

Bittersweet listen considering Morrissey is an absolute weapon these days but I still enjoyed this album. It was the first Smiths record I bought so it was nice to revisit and confirm that Barbarism Begins at Home still goes incredibly hard. A record which also showcases that the Marr and Rourke duo matters just as much as Marr and Morrissey did for the band and its sound.

Good record but not one I'll necessarily go back to. Bold as Love a 10/10 closer though.

Ah, the instantly recognisable sound of Dire Straights. First track was great and obviously Sultans goes hard too. Not for me otherwise.

This album shows a softer, more reflective side of The Velvet Underground while still experimenting with their sound. Their influence on music since the 1960s is undeniable, and you can hear echoes of their style in so many artists that followed. Some of the experimental parts don’t always work for everyone, but you have to appreciate their willingness to push boundaries (that said, Murder Mystery is still a thrilling listen). The standout tracks for me are Candy Says, Pale Blue Eyes, Jesus, and After Hours.

Dirt has a heavy, raw sound that I mostly enjoyed. For me the standout tracks were Them Bones, Rooster and Would

Not particularly cohesive as a record for me. Some big tunes but otherwise a slog.

Their masterpiece. An album that I loved the moment it came out for the emotional depth to both the songwriting and the production which marries that garage rock and dream pop sound so perfectly.

Great fun!

Great fun

Enjoyed this! Yes, I'm back.

Such a banger of an album
