Melodrama
Lorde
If I could rename this album, I'd call it 'Misphonic Triggers'. Alternating between straining to defecate and attempting to summon a cat, her whiney tone makes me want to pierce my own eardrums. How on Earth is Lorde in the top 300 artists on Spotify?
I suppose 'popular' has never truly equated to 'good'.
To sum this album in a word: horrible. It's the first album I've encountered so far that I have had to turn off. I tried. I really did, but by the time I got to the fourth whispering whinge, I'd had enough.

Green Day
An absolute favourite of mine, and has been for the past 21 years. This album influenced my life in a sense, and it has shaped who I am today. Got me through those tough late-teens.
The messags feels more relevant than ever in 2025. The highlight for me is Homecoming: clearly inspired by The Who's A Quick One.

Metallica
Hell fucking yeah!
This is THE album I didn't know I needed.
I've always been a passive Metallica listener, never really given them much time nor thought, though wouldn't ever skip a track or turn them off. Even saw them at a festival once, and didn't realise they were this damn good.
I wasn't sure at first. The intro had me questioning if I'd put the right album on. It gave 'geeky' vibes. I realised I was digging it before the end of the second track. By the end, I felt like my mind had been blown. Why haven't I given Metallica my time or thought?
I listen to most of my albums in the car. Today, it felt like I was driving into battle rather than work. Really set me up for the day.

I ironically love this. I already know of The Incredible String Band, and can never tell if it's intentionally or accidentally hilarious. It's so bad it's good, especially when the kazoo comes out.
I haven't taken shrooms or acid for years, and this reminds me why.

Tubular Bells
Mike Oldfield
Objectively, this is a great album. He is certainly good at playing instruments. He is not good at being an artist.
I just can't get into it. Albums like this should take you on a journey, and make you feel a powerful roller coaster of emotion with the transitions. I don't feel any emotional connection to this whatsoever. I felt more of a connection with Pingu playing icicles in the cave (which is what the first ten minutes or so remind me of). I did enjoy the sound of the electric guitar - though the demonic grunts were unwarranted. It was a disappointing listen.
I want to like it, but just don't.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
I'd never listened to Nick Cave until I was given the Birthday Party (aka Vulva from Spaced, the album) album a few weeks ago. That was my first introduction and this is the second. I can't see a love blossoming any time soon.
The music is good enough but his vocal is painful. The guests were crap too. It reminds me of slam poetry. I imagine the average fan is a depressed and unemployed English Literature graduate.
I don't get it.

It's quite good. 19-2000 Soulchild Remix is the best track, and has been a regular listen since I played Fifa 2002.
One of the band sounds like Will Smith on tranquilisers though, so those bits were pants compared to the rest.

I don't hate it. It actually started to grow on me by the end.
It still sounds incredibly early-90s; perhaps you had to be there (I was 5) to get the most out of it. Might try again one day with a side of MDMA.

It's obviously not a bad album. I wasn't born for another 20 years though; it doesn't click with me.
I enjoyed Homeward Bound, and the Dylan parody. The rest fell flat.
Probably more meaningful at the time, the Silent Night felt very clichéd.
