Power In Numbers
Jurassic 5
Hip-hop isn't normally a genre I gravite towards, but this is pretty chill so far.
8 tracks in, getting bored. Not much happening, it's fine but boring.9 tracks to go though 🙄
They had a nelly furtado feature, which has reminded me to listen to Loose
Finally, the last track.... Overall it's just fine, nothing that I hate but nothing that stands out either. Very middle of the road. The flow is pretty good though, I'll give them that.

David Bowie
Already listened to this, potentially my favourite Bowie album (between ziggy stardust, aladdin sane and blackstar). There's just something about it that I can't quite explain.

The Number Of The Beast
Iron Maiden
I've always liked Iron Maiden, usually for their bass lines, but have never listened to an album by them.
Having finished the album now, have to say it was pretty good. Didn't completely blow me away but still enjoyable. Think I prefer their later songs.

The Flaming Lips
Currently around halfway and I'm finding it to be boring, which for an album that later got turned into a musical doesn't bode well.
Update: physically can't finish it, made it through the majority of it but I can't put myself through the rest

Van Halen
Before listening: I'm only familiar with Van Halen's hits, there are bands from this era that I actively listen to way more, so I'm curious about what their debut is like.
After: For a debut rock album, this is pretty solid, usually it takes a few to find a decent set of tracks. The band are clearly very talented, but I don't think they'll ever be one of my favourites, which is ok. Overall a good time.

I can now understand why my Dad never introduced me to Steely Dan, they're really pretentious.

Ute Lemper
Going into this, I already know that I like The Divine Comedy, so hoping for good things.
Right, as stated above, I already like The Divine Comedy, and I'm a huge fan of Björk, Tori Amos, and Kate Bush. So this is exactly the kind of thing that I'm into. I can get why it isn't for everyone, but I don't care, I love it and that's all that matters to be honest. Will definitely check out more of her work.

Physical Graffiti
Led Zeppelin
Before: If I'm being completely honest here, I fucking hate Led Zepplin. I don't think they're as good as everyone makes them out to be. It also doesn't help that every music class I had for two years, this one boy wouldn't stop playing Stairway to Heaven on the guitar. So I'm going in extremely biased but I'll give it a go
After: It's nice to know I'm right about something, though I'll admit I didn't expect to be extremely bored during this album. All of the songs sounded almost identical to each other, why is this album rated as highly as it is?

Almost impossible to find, hard to tell if what I found is the complete album or not. If I'm being honest, not really my thing. I already have a love hate relationship with 90s electronic music, and this album hasn't helped at all.

One of my favourite albums ever. My first concert ever (that I wanted to go to) was a couple of years ago to see the anniversary tour for this album.
