Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 20 2025

Started off quite well. First two songs were interesting musically. His voice reminded me of Thom Yorke's a bit. Wasn't that keen on the middle of the album, went quite rocky. But wasn't paying 100% attention so would like to relisten. Last two songs were gorgeous, especially the last one.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Apr 21 2025

First 2 tracks 10/10, second side 6/10

Pornography by The Cure
Apr 22 2025

Good but not really my thing. Got better as it went on. First song is good but very intense. Strange day best track

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Apr 23 2025

First song really good. A few good songs but not enough to justify a higher score. Felt like there were a lot of filler tracks. But deffo worth a relisten.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 24 2025

All good tracks, visions of Johanna and stuck inside a mobile stand outs. Lots of bluesy ones that sounds quite similar. Could have been shorter, but enjoyed it. Not as many bangers as Desire or Blood on the tracks though.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 25 2025

It was nice, didn't grab me though. Title track was good. Not sure about his voice

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Apr 26 2025

Sounds quite of it's time but very fun to listen to and loads of catchy songs. All through the night my fave. Will deffo relisten.

Homework by Daft Punk
Apr 28 2025

Not for me.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
May 01 2025

Not my thing but not unlistenable either.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
May 02 2025

Reminded me of Siouxie and the bashees, nice female vocalist, nice fun backing. Would definitely listen again.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
May 03 2025

Quirky, quite Beatles like. Coconut is a great track. Didn't hit me in the soul but was fun to listen to.

Yeezus by Kanye West
May 04 2025

Bit of a mix but still very enjoyable. New slaves, hold my liquor, blood on the leaves, guilt trip and ofc bound 2 the best tracks. Some shit ones though like I'm in it and I am a God. 3 and a half stars.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
May 06 2025

I found it hard to get into as not much of a tune. Maybe if I listened to it more to you'd start to recognise the tune, but most of it I just found myself glazing over. Second tune was better than first.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
May 07 2025

Stunning album. Most soulful white voice ever, and beautiful arrangements. Tracks subtle and charming. Can see why he does soundtracks. Fave tracks: Sail away, political science, burn on

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 08 2025

Very weird, would like to listen again but have to say it didn't really appeal first couple of times listening. Enjoyed second half slightly more.

The Clash by The Clash
May 10 2025

Decent. Probably give it 2 and a half stars. Only a few songs captured my attention. Hate and war, police and thieves and garage band. London calling definitely better. Would listen again.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
May 18 2025

Really nice, would defo listen again. Need to be doing nothing and just listening, but really beautiful.

No Other by Gene Clark
May 19 2025

Absolutely loved this album. I was hooked from the first song, and it only got better. Great amount of variation between the tracks - each one felt different to any of the others. Perfect folk/country/rock album.

May 20 2025

Pretty good, just something about talking heads that I'm not massively into. I did enjoy it though and would listen again.

War by U2
May 21 2025

Know a lot of people hate U2 and I always felt like it was a bit wrong to like them, but fuck it I really liked this album and their sound in general.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
May 22 2025

Not really for me, just sounds like circus music.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
May 23 2025

Not for me. All the worst bits about British 60s music including the Beatles. Jumps around from idea to idea with no consistency. No soul to it at all. As a stand alone song I didn't mind balloon burning so was tempted to give it 2 stars, but nah 1 you get

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
May 24 2025

Awesome album. Liked the second half even better than the first. Madman and Indian sunset are absolute grooves. All the nasties instantly catchy too.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
May 25 2025

Nice. Would like to listen again as was quite understated, but enjoyed all the songs. Potentially a bit samey and formulaic but need to listen again to be sure

The College Dropout by Kanye West
May 26 2025

Classic Kanye. You can hate him but don't tell me these songs aren't bangers!

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 27 2025

Have to give it a 5 for the emotional response it provoked in me. First song was enough to make me cry and that carried on for the first few tracks. So pure and evocative of a time and place. Top tracks: coat of many colours, my blue tears, early morning breeze, here I am. Least fave track: the way I see you (just felt a little out of place)

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 28 2025

Not unlistenable, but not my thing. Doesn't have the edge of led zeppelin. Smooth 'hard rock', what's the point?

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 30 2025

Decent, not really my thing though. Torn between a 2 and a 3, overall didn't grate me when listening though so going for a 3. Couldn't get bill Burr's impression out of my head when listening to even flow so extra point for that.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 31 2025

Straight up classic, the best Bowie in my opinion. Absolute no skip record.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Jun 01 2025

Always gonna be slightly biased against this album for childhood reasons. Thought I'd never have to listen to the libertines again. Have to say though, the music wasn't bad at all. Still can't bring myself to give it any more than 2 stars though
