Tracy Chapman

3/5

Grew up with this album playing a lot so nice and nostalgic. Some absolute corkers, some a bit samey. Favourite has to be baby can I hold you.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Never really listened to supergrass before (apart from alright which I didn’t know was them). Didn’t think I’d like this album very much from the first song but it really grew on me. Not so much the more punky, in your face songs but some of the slower, more melodic stuff is surprisingly lovely.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Prefer their later albums but still brilliant. Their harmonies never cease to amaze me.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

Not sure if this one can be topped - one of my favourite albums of all time. Every time I listen to it I notice something different it never gets boring. Elizabeth Fraser is the absolute GOAT. Wish there were more than 5 stars.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Such a nostalgic listen and lots of happy memories associated with this album. Sledgehammer is a confirmed bop (and my mum and dad’s first dance at their wedding) but then the likes of don’t give up and in your eyes make you feel all reflective and poignant. Great album.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

Southern Rock Opera

Drive-By Truckers

2/5

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

4/5

An objectively great album but not my favourite of theirs. I think I prefer them when they got all pretentious but hey still some absolute bangers.

Forever Changes

Love

2/5

Didn’t do anything for me sadly.

Close To The Edge

Yes

1/5

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Surprisingly enjoyable actually. A nice easy listen for background noise at work.

McCartney

Paul McCartney

4/5

Lyrics quite random at times but then he has this ability to compose the most simple but beautiful melodies that scratch part of your brain like nothing else.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

Fairly samey for me although do love the orchestral element.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

Nice to listen to something different. Really really enjoyed - take 5 obviously a classic but the rest of the album also delivered. Cohesive and just nice on the ears.

Two Dancers

Wild Beasts

4/5

Quite up my street - ethereal but upbeat. Something quite different I liked it.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

5/5

Name of the album says it all. So evocative. Doesn’t get much better than this imo.

Architecture And Morality

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark

2/5

Love Joan of arc but the rest of the album didn’t really do much for me.
