More than a feeling is a class track and the album was a pleasant surprise, not generally my thing but touches of the who always welcome, would listen again.
It’s Dylan, good but not one of my top favourites but mono paced lots of verbiage. Give me blonde on blonde, Nashville skyline or blood on the tracks.
Near flawless the best of the beatle solo albums, many stand out tracks.
Groove upon groove. Excellent musicians.
A decent half of an album but fizzles in later stages but better than I was expecting.
Some interesting tracks, side one in particular but a lot of standard soul ballads, whist a minor step into psychedelic soul the balance of the album sounds pretty run of the mill.
Excellent. A contender as favourite Radiohead album, switches places with kid an and back again both excellent. Claustrophobic complex. I’m a reasonable man!
Good. Not on a par with fear of music but take me to the river is a standout track. Feels like a transition to the more experimental albums which were to come.
Great introduction to Indian music. 1957 - early introduction of Indian music into western popular culture no doubt influenced George Harrison. A great listen.
A struggle. Metal music has never really done it. Sheets of big sound like being repeatedly hit over the head. I’ll pass.
Nick drake vocals and guitar sublime but the arrangements feel over-cooked it is a wonder to think what the songs would be like stripped back to just voice and guitar and a little bass & drums. Still the songs are strong.
No!!! More metal, to my ears predictable but not completely meritless. Don’t think I’ll listen again though.
Consistent, quality song writing, good groove. Still sounds fresh and not dated.

The beasties I’ve never really got. I can see the concept rap/metal but it just doesn’t resonate very shouty not at all civil
A genuine revelation. Excellent album. Bit of a de la soul vibe. Really enjoyed and will listen again.
Another revelation - strong songs, excellent voice, eclectic mix of styles, excellent production. Was not expecting to like but I really enjoyed. Will listen again.
Maybe a second listen required, interesting. Dylan-style vocal delivery. Kraftwerk if they took a wrong turn off the autobahn onto skid row, a sinister dark tinge. Interesting between a three and a four.
Overblown and predictable. The moment when the crunchy guitar will enter was always too obviously signposted. Some nice moments but ponderously paced, much prefer Siamese dream.
Challenging. Industrial. Experimental. Not an easy listen.
It has a buzz but no swagger, some great tracks, some great bass but it feels just too well mannered to live up fully to the hype.
I think the greatest of the smiths albums. A treat to listen to. It spills out the guitar tumbling and running soaring in echo of morrisey singing. Just a joy, practically flawless. Some albums are better than others.
Kate Bush the music too wabbly. Music very 80’s synth sound dated, not for me, no joy.
Enjoyed it immensely, a double album but if flew past soulful, bluesy, good rhythm great vocals solid tunes.
Not sure what to think. Two very good tracks, castles made of sand and bold as live, but a lot of it so loose it feels like song sketches which act as a backdrop for Hendrix to drape his guitar around and through. There a little lack of solidity. But I will listen again.
Bubble-gum with spikes. Still sounds fabulous, the singles shimmer like pop perfection but all so effortlessly cool, the band the strokes wish they could have been.
A classic. Immediate but rewards detailed list, strong lyrics. A blend of folk with a punk sensibility. It is still a great lp and has not dated sound just as fresh.
Surprisingly good. Not an album I’ve previously rated, always too much country, but once you get past the twang there are some really strong tracks. Will listen again.

Too mannered. To think this was the same year that revolver was released. This album sounds like trying to catch up with rubber soul, but the Beatles had already moved on. Two good tracked under my thumb and out of time which sound almost interchangeable. The stones got better than this but mostly at playing rock n roll.
A good and easy listen though sounds somewhat dated in terms of the sound. A laid back Californian west coast sixteen vibe. The two singles are stand out tracks - Monday Monday and California dreaming. I think I owned a vinyl copy of this once.
