Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

1/5

It's an album that existed. If I was another person back when it was released, it might have really connected with me. Handshake and Future Reflections had musical moments I liked, the rest of it I either knew too well, or didn't care to know. Sorry MGMT, I'm not your audience. <3

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

I love percussion that sounds like someone's kicking down my door for 40 minutes. If I could have a fraction this album's energy in my day-to-day, then nothing could best me. The Beastie Boys' variety here is limited, but they do what they do best, and I can't argue with that - nor would I want to. Happy to have been introduced to Licensed To Ill.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

1/5

Suffering. I have found out what genre I don't like, and it's called Neil Young. The best I have to say is that some of the instrumentals with the guitar in it are good, but then Neil starts singing and everything is ruined. Hell is a Cripple Creek Ferry.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

Got a soft spot for Ray Charles. The music is from a bygone era, but still retains a lot of modern feeling, particularly in the faster tracks. Wouldn't really choose to listen to this, but I can appreciate it.

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

3/5

It's classic and chunky. Happy I listened to it, but I probably won't do so again.

Black Sabbath

3/5

Better than Led Zeppelin, if I was born in the 60's I would have been listening to this in some dark and danky corner. But I wasn't, so I'm not. Nice vibe, though.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Enjoyed the energy, some of the later songs in the album like Rage and Red White Blue were really good.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

4/5

You know what, it's not my genre but this was really easy listening. really good voice, chill instruments, here for that this eve.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

4/5

Nice hip-hop, always here for some hip-hop. Nice sampling in there as well.

...And Justice For All

Metallica

4/5

Hey that was really good! Love the solos, songs were long but when you're having fun it ain't bad.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Not really my thing, but I appreciate that The Rolling Stones exist.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

Unexpected - took a while to get into it, but it's an amazing piano album.

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

3/5

Middle of the road for me, but I can see where a lot of famous samples came from. Happy to hear Jacques You Body again <3

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

2/5

I'm just not here for them. Some of the songs in the middle are nice enough, but I don't see myself listening to this album again.

evermore

Taylor Swift

5/5

Really really lovely. The lyrics painted amazing pictures in my head, it was a gentle album with so much to say. Hey, my first five star!

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

I like the energy in the earlier songs, and the harsher rough vocals. The popular ones are good hits, the rest didn't do much for me. I feel bad saying bad about Blondie though, she's lovely.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

DNF, it was fine but didn't move me in any which way.

La Revancha Del Tango

Gotan Project

5/5

Not on the level of Taylor Swift's Evermore, but I really like this album and the general genre of music. So easy to listen to while working, captures a feeling from the early 2000's that feels so accurate of that time. Love it.

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

2/5

DNF, lost energy as I made my way through it.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

The classics are amazing, the songs around it not so much. Close to a 5 star, still a good listen.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

1/5

No.
