You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

There's some absolute bangers here, like "Right here, right now", "The Rockafeller Skank", "Fucking in Heavens", "Gangster Trippin" and, finally, "Praise you". The other songs felt more as an interlude and I was not as intrigued. Still, just the titles above mean that's a solid 7/10.

The Coral

5/5

Amazing! Dreaming of you is a timeless classic, but "Waiting for the Heartaches" totally got me! 9.5/10

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

Nice chill vibes, appreciated.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Nice funk, although not exactly my jam (sometimes it can be too much). 6/10

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

1/5

I cannot even finish listening the 21(!!) tracks. It feels like a drag and I don't understand how Elton John is always glorified: there is not one track that gets me excited or vibing, they all sound generic and I cannot even remember the tune. Not that I actively dislike the music, but I literally don't feel anything and whenever I listen to this album my mind just goes elsewhere. I give it a 3/10.

Parklife

Blur

4/5

"I get up when I want, except on Wednesdays when I get rudely awakaned by the dustmen" I will never be able to listen to "Parklife" and not stop whatever I'm doing and sing wholeheartedly with my best British accent. Great album, good amounts of amazing songs (Girls and boys, end of a century, parklife, london loves etc) , although few of them felt a bit less powerful. Still, a solid 8/10.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

It didn't get me, the first part especially feels slow. It improves in the second half, with some more cadenced songs ans riffs. I liked "Cracked Actor", "The Jean Geanie" and "Time". Overall, 6.5/10.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

C'est (très) Chic! At last I am free to say cheers for this album: lots of musical savoir faire coupled with some freak songs. I hope that sometimes you win (the place in the Hall of Fame you deserve). This album wants your love, makes you an happy man and gives you a funny bone* C'est (très) Chic! 8/10

Blood On The Tracks

Bob Dylan

The first part of the album is a 10, the second gets a bit slower and it's a 7. "Sunday Shining" is amazing! 8.5/10.

The only song that stuck out is "Stupid Marriage". The rest is nice as well but not something I'll actively search and listen. 6.5/10
