Phrenology

The Roots

5/5

Some songs were a bit too experimental but most were great - the seed (2.0) was definitely my favourite and thirsty! is a great party and hype song.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Run run run was almost a verge into country music. interesting structure with Nico being a sort of reprieve from the most rock elements.

I really didn't want to listen to this... I decided to listen to slim shady and leave it at that.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

5/5

4.5 - love morrissey. definitely expanded beyond the smiths and has a much stronger beat with the normal morrissey lyrics.

Headquarters

The Monkees

3/5

Way too long. 1st half was much better than the 2nd.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

2/5

It feels of its era. I can imagine people in the 60s dancing to this. I just don't think it would be my favourite genre of the era.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

Protection

Massive Attack

5/5

pretty good, similar to cibo matto

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

4 Tightrope stands up. Come Alive (War of the Roses) is fantastic and surprising. Make the bus is also really good. 57821 - mix of indie and folk.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

3.5 - some good songs but I don't think it is a revolutionary album or piece of art.

Bummed

Happy Mondays

3/5

Phrenology

The Roots

5/5

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Nice and short compared to a lot of the other albums. 40 minutes is really the perfect amount for an album.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

What's not to like! Accidentally listened to the birth of blue first...

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

4/5

Van Halen

3/5

3.5 not bad but I don't know if it's super inventive.

Paranoid

4.5 - amazing! Doll parts still fantastic.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

Basket of Light

Pentangle

4/5

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Obviously a good album. But it is just so long with all the different versions of the songs.

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

3/5

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

4/5

Doesn't feel as developed as his later albums but still very beautiful. You can definitely tell it is from the 80s. Feels very Sting. Really in between a 3 and 4 (like 3.75).

New Boots And Panties

Ian Dury

2/5

Not bad but I wouldn't listen to it again. The 2nd half was hard to get through.

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

The Band

2/5

It's fine... Joan Baez has much better versions of a lot of these songs.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Mermaid Avenue

Billy Bragg

3/5

I liked it, especially birds and ships with Natalie Merchant. For people who like folk music.

Lost Souls

Doves

5/5

Loved this album!

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

I liked it but it didn't go hard enough for me. I think it felt like a sanitised version. But saying that the song Marcus Garvey is one of his top listened songs for a reason.

Ocean Rain

Echo And The Bunnymen

4/5

Crystal days - excellent, a really easy listen. I think my favourite of the album. Silver - a very good opener. The yo yo man - feels like if the smiths did alternative ethereal country. The Killing Moon - there is a grandness here. 3.75/5

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

Not really my vibe. Some songs are passable I guess. It was hard to sit through it. Too long - could have been a 40 min album.

American Idiot

Green Day

4/5

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Very easy listening but not my favourite. I liked monkey man and had never heard it before. 3.5

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

It's been a while since I listened to it and I think it still holds up. But I don't know if it is effortlessly relistenable. For that reason 4/5.

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Perfect length for an album. No notes.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Pretty good and very relaxing.

James Brown Live At The Apollo

James Brown

3/5

Snivilisation

Orbital

2/5

Some interesting songs but not really my vibe. I didn't like quality seconds. I can see the merit in are we here as a conceptual idea and "art" but it isn't good music.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

I enjoyed it, super easy to work with and fades into the background perfectly.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

I don't know, I'm not a massive fan of this. I really like some songs from Lorde's solar power album. This one feels so weepy.

A Seat at the Table

Solange

4/5

I loveeeee this album. I'm so happy it made it on to the 1001 albums. Taking off a point because it is a bit too long and from borderline, the album peters out. 4/5

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

I liked this album. Some duds - everything means nothing to me & in the lost and found. Both of which I thought were quite unsettling. 3/5

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Not my favourite Zeppelin album. I liked immigrant song, out on the tiles, tangerine and that's the way. I think the second half was much better or at least what I felt like more.
