4/5

Document

R.E.M.

2/5

This is objectively a better album than 2/5 but speaking solely from personal preference, was just not doing it for me apart from a couple exceptions.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

great tunes for doing housework, though i have to admit i probably wouldn’t be able to pick any of these songs out of a lineup even having just listened to it.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

2/5

In Utero

Nirvana

5/5

Bonus points for sentimental value for 15-year-old-Dom whose room was covered in Kurt Cobain posters. Though admittedly, some songs were easier to sing along to back when my English was not great (looking at you, track 4).

Gorillaz

2/5

Very hit or miss. The good ones are great, the others made my workout more painful than it had to be.

The Contino Sessions

Death In Vegas

1/5

I listened to this at the gym, which was my first mistake. They had me with the first song, but it went downhill from there. Struggling to recall anything else from it now other than wanting it to end

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

2/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Once again asking for half stars because this is a strong 4.5 for me. What a good reprieve after the last couple of days.

Garbage

5/5

Call me a racoon because I love Garbage. Where has Garbage been all my life? Give me more Garbage.

Very

Pet Shop Boys

1/5

Revolver

Beatles

4/5

Is this a safe space for confessions? I don’t think I’ve ever fully listened to yellow submarine. It comes on, I skip it. Forgive me for I have sinned. Otherwise great album.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

3/5

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Does it count as a review when you skip every song after 30 seconds? I’m so sorry, Leonard Cohen. I know you’re a legend. But this one wasn’t for me.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Queen II

Queen

5/5

Early Queen is so dear to me, and this weird little album is one of my all time favourites. So happy we got this here.

Antichrist Superstar

Marilyn Manson

3/5

I wish we would have gotten Mechanical Animals instead because I think it’s a better album. This is still a 3.5 for me because the first half is great, but I tend to lose interest about the 40 min mark and switch to another album.

System Of A Down

4/5

i didn’t know most of these. this was fun.

Dry

PJ Harvey

4/5

I don’t think I ever listened to a full PJ Harvey album before but man did I miss out. Going straight into my library.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

this was good fun

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

4/5

Ramones

4/5

For some reason I was obsessed with the Ramones when I was 14. I made my mum listen to their best of album so often in the car, bless her heart for bearing that. I might rank this lower if this was my first listen, but it’s just all vibes for me.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

All Hope Is Gone

Slipknot

3/5

Slipknot is not really an album band for me but it’s still Slipknot, so overall I enjoyed this.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

Loved it at 15, loving it at 33.

Cee-Lo Green... Is The Soul Machine

Cee Lo Green

2/5

I didn’t dislike this as much as I thought I would.

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

Yes. Very happy with this.

The Poet

Bobby Womack

3/5

Urban Hymns

The Verve

4/5

Yes, I enjoyed this a lot. Hidden track was a bit of a letdown but you can’t have it all.

Jazz Samba

Stan Getz

5/5

I was going to skip this because I am not a Samba fan at all. I’m glad I didn’t. Absolute banger of an album. Listened three times while working.

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

2/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

2/5

not for me

Billion Dollar Babies

3/5

Kenya

Machito

4/5

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

turns out i really just can’t do country unless it’s in a cheesy tornado movie

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

This might be a controversial opinion but Bridge over Troubled Water (the song) never really did it for me. El Condor Pasa, however, immediately makes me want to cry (in a good way) every time i listen to it.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

4/5

this was new for me and it’s going straight to my library.

Doolittle

Pixies

5/5

god i love the pixies

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

2/5

i’m sorry. i can’t. don’t hate me.

2/5

hmmm no

Queens Of The Stone Age

3/5

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Ace of Spades

3/5

Started strong but then flatlined for me

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

3/5

Apple Venus Volume 1

XTC

4/5

what a treat

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

The Stone Roses

5/5

I didn’t know this album before, what a treat. Between a 4 and 5 for me, but because I have joy in my heart today I’ll go with a 5.

Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black

Public Enemy

2/5

evermore

Taylor Swift

3/5

Struggling between a 3 and a 4 here. We all know Taylor is an incredible songwriter and individually these are all good songs, just overall a little more forgettable than some of the other albums.

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Really struggling between 3 and 4 here. Objectively this is a great album. I know I would be happy if someone else puts it on. But I don’t think I will often, if ever, have the urge to put this on myself.

Life Thru A Lens

Robbie Williams

2/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

this came out when i was 13 and me and my best friend listened to it every time we met for just about two years. absolute core memories.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

On another day I would probably rate this higher because it’s still radiohead, but today I had joy in my heart and this album robbed me of it.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

3/5

Very divided with this. I’ve seen them live a few times back when Keith was still alive and the energy they brought is absolutely unreal, which is matched in the singles of this album. The rest however was unfortunately underwhelming. Bonus points for the cover though.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

All Hail the Queen

Queen Latifah

2/5

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

3/5

i love the stones but they just have never been an album band for me. also might have listened to the wrong version of this.

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

4/5

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

I haven’t listened to Elvis Costello in years, I forgot how much I enjoy this album. Man 1977 was a good year for music.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

3/5

I was excited about this initially and the songs I knew already I loved, but the rest kind of fell flat for me

4/5

Another great new find

Bossanova

Pixies

4/5

man i love the pixies

Beyond Skin

Nitin Sawhney

3/5

1/5

Little Earthquakes

Sheer Heart Attack

5/5

early queen is my favourite queen. their first 5 albums are absolutely unmatched. how good is flick of the wrist? how good is all of this? always great to revisit.
