Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Several hit songs, but some filler on the album as a whole.

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Mellow reggae throughout.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

Boring. Lacks energy, and I don't like the hit song from the album. Ironically, the best song was "Dull Life", which was energetic & souded like Yeah Yeah Yeahs first EP.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

4/5

Cool/Bebop jazz. Very 70's. Almost hear "Enter the Dragon" vibes B)

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Atmospheric & airy synths. Kind of like Bladerunner OST Vangelis meets Black Star Bowie. Uplifting & melancholic by turns. Great album if you're in the right mood.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

1/5

Boring & self indulgent.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Folky album with loads of variety between songs. Really good

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

2/5

Great live louge recording. Love the music but really not a fan of her singing. Her vibrato is way too much and is off-putting.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Iconic! Great songs, but some filler tracks stops it being a 5.

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

Boring, simplistic & repetitive

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

2/5

Just an average African blues album. one of the 1001 to listen to before you die!?

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

5/5

Awesome! Like a 50's rock mix of Elton John, Billy Joel & Buddy Holly. Best album yet.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

3/5

A bit rough raound the edges. Masively overshadowed by Back to Black. 2.5/5

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

Live album that felt like an hour long guitar solo! Good music, just not a great album. I'd rather listen to the studio recordings.

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Great early album. Raw, intense and short songs. Lacks mega hits, but feels genuine, not manufactured.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

1/5

Xylophone solos accompanied by an accordion? No thanks!

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

Dull & forgettable. Really dislike the title track!

Harvest

Neil Young

Decent, iconic folk album. Not one I'd listen to frequently, though.

Risque

CHIC

2/5

Quite repetitive. Knew the first song, but others weren't anything special.

Lana Del Rey

2/5

Average. Like a chill Florence & The Machine

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

2/5

Quite boring folky album. Not one to listen to again.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

2/5

Boring album with an overplayed hit.

Innovative for the time, but to early to be an enjoyable Hip Hop album.

Stream of conciousness rap. Not good, but some good beats and obvious talent. Won't listen to album/artist again.

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

Top 5 summer albums. Worth every star!

You Want It Darker

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Great to hear an album from te '80's that's actually live recorded and withou over-produced drums! 3.5/5

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

3.5/5 - Nice change from Rumours, but nothing jumps out. Still the same sound though!

Ágætis Byrjun

Sigur Rós

4/5

Beautiful!

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Great, but just overplayed now. Very Mark Ronson.

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

4/5

3.5/5, Great album, but not their best.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

1/5

Really obnoxious & repetitive 80's music. Sounds like a 3 year old wrote the lyrics.

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Fairly average 70's rock. Nothing that really bites, but still good music overall

The Bends

Radiohead

4/5

Every song gets better& better until it ends with Street Spirit (Fade Out). Great album, but not my fav from them.

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

3/5

2.5/5. Beautiful music, but not an album I'd put on and listen to.all the way through.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Arular

M.I.A.

1/5

Dire. Just noise

Foo Fighters

4/5

Amazing & nostalgic! I love how rough around the edges it is.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

2/5

Love the music, although a bit too virtuosic at times. What I can't stand is his singing along. Really distracting. Maybe can't hear through speakers at regular volume, but through headphones it jus souds ridiculous!

Live Through This

Hole

3/5

Love has a great voice, but the album itself is kinda forgettable.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

3/5

Great songs / Bad album. The story skits & audible sex / blowjob were awful to listen to.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

Top 10 album. Every song is amazing.

Black Metal

Venom

2/5

Feels like more modern punk/thrash metal for '81. Some good riffs, but album souded like it was recorded in the next room with 1 mic! Probably wouldn't listen to again.

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

3/5

I like this meelow stylof coutr, but the songs all souded the same. Good background music

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Very creative. Brian May was on form here, but freddie wasn't his extravagant self yet. I grew up with the Greatest Hits album, so a lot of these were new to me. Good fu, but not one I'll rush back to

Damaged

Black Flag

3/5

Despite being released in 1980, his album feels really fresh. Very energetic. Not sure I'd listen to it again, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

3/5

Quite like early-mid Beatles. A couple of memorable songs, but most are quite samey. 3.5/5

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

2/5

Nope. Not for me...

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

5/5

I was 15 when this came out. I don't care if I sound old, but you had to be there for this MTV Nu-metal era of music to really get the vibe. Wouldn't trade the late 90's / early 00's for anything!

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

3/5

Some great jazzy beats, but not a fan of Commons flow.

Feast of Wire

Calexico

4/5

Wasn't sure at first, but the album grew on me as I listened. Americana-folk. Has shades of Nickelcreek, Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, etc.

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Probably my least listened to Radiohead album, and for good reason. Not as attention grabbing as earlier ones, but still some of the same DNA. Might grow on me if I listen to it more.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

What can you say... amazing.

Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room

Dwight Yoakam

2/5

Not a fan of this type of country music. Feels like music-by-numbers.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

Not as refined as his later work. Good listen, but wouldn't put it on again.
