Led Zeppelin II
Led Zeppelin
Middle of the road, just a bit pathetic, really. Cock rock. Enjoyed reading people roasting it more than any of the songs, which could have almost been good if they'd knocked it off with the silly moaning and baby yeahs. Vapid.

Songs From The Big Chair
Tears For Fears
Honestly a vibe, knew a couple songs already and had on one my like songs. Usually more into fake!80s than real!80s, but this is chill. Very listenable.

Fleetwood Mac
Took me a couple listens, possibly because grumpy, but have settled on this being fine with some addable songs. It's still a bit nothingy, even compared to other of their stuff that I like (The Chain, Dreams).

This was a weird one, because there were lots of bits here and there for me that I liked, but the sum of the parts didn't really land with me. I suspect it woulda been more impressive in its day. Some of it slaps, but in the end I added no songs because there were no whole songs I liked.

Beastie Boys
I don't really know how I could be grumpy about this, the Beastie Boys are just a lot of fun. They're not all winners, obviously, and it's not, like, peak Beastie, but I just kinda respect them for their sound, yknow? Distinctive, no apologies.

Neon Bible
Arcade Fire
Already had two of these on my liked songs, cos Black Mirror and Black Wave / Bad Vibrations are bangers. I've seen a fair few of the public reviews saying they're pretentious. I don't care. Did I like the songs or nah? I did. So. Delicate, layered, but they've got a fantastic energy and voice. Plus, there's some French. Could listen to Black Mirror on repeat, honestly. Great stuff.

The Downward Spiral
Nine Inch Nails
Immediately after this album, it auto-played to a NIN song I actually ended up really liking, so, like, it's possible, but overall these were, to me, mostly toilet noises, plus a bad Johnny Cash cover (yes, I *know*).

Arise
Sepultura
There's some good stuff in the lyrics about the prison population, violence, white collar criminality, apartheid, that kinda thing, it's just that it's also in there with, and I am not kidding, "I didn't ask to be born", which just absolutely undercuts it all with the most teenagery wambulance shit. Realistically, I was never gonna like it, too noisy for me, but I'll stick to System of a Down. The album art is pretty sick tho.

Not heard of this before, but I like it! Mellow, but fairly interesting, a good mix of vibes, but just also very charming. Definitely some new songs to add here.

Fun! I kinda love old stuff like this, I like a bit of folk too. It occasionally veers into the dull, but generally it's fun and there's some real bops on here with a real sense of time and place.

Songs From A Room
Leonard Cohen
Look, I love a dirge, but this is a buncha dirges. I prefer late Cohen where it sounds like he spent twenty years on a mountain surviving on cigarettes.

This is the Google Keep version of a poem you're working on in album form. Nice for background stuff. Wilmot is a bop.

You know, I wanted to hate this because that album cover is fucking atrocious, but it grew on me. I gave it a few listens and I think it would actually grow on me further.

You know what? I like it. Yes, Ok, this one I can tell IS a bit pretentious, but I don't care. It was fun to listen to, it was a chill time, a couple of bops.
