Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Standard The Cure faire, until "A Forest" which is perhaps the best The Cure song.

Black Sabbath

3/5

Apart from it's two bit hitter tracks in N.I.B. and The Wizard, Black Sabbath forces you to experience a 70's heavy metal experience, where the norms weren't as established yet, allowing creative approaches even to the detriment of the song.

Disintegration

The Cure

5/5

This is already in my top 10 albums of all time, starting off with a massive soundscape, Disintegration speaks to the soul of depression.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

2/5

Like the Beatles this album gets better the longer it goes on, and there are flashes of what The Beatles would become, its just not enough to be an enjoyable listen.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

2/5

I appreciate how Sinatra became a legend, the innocenct innocuous undertones and usic style just isnt me. Making woopie though.

Guero

Beck

4/5

Beach Samba

Astrud Gilberto

5/5

This album has made me desire to laze by the Mediterranean, a feeling Ive never felt before, fantastic album, but I have to make do with sitting on the banks of the river Esk.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

Was alright

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

1/5

I fucking hate the Pogues

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

Absolute cool, fantastic playing and one of the easiest 5 stars so far.

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

It just feels too constrained in its own pattern, a systemic problem with Blues. The first minute is great, it its repeated for the next 4. It gets tiresome.

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

2/5

Fantastic voice, just could not enjoy the music.

Bat Out Of Hell

Meat Loaf

5/5

Fantastic album, I grew up with this and as such am a bog Meatloaf Rockopera fan.

Haunted Dancehall

The Sabres Of Paradise

2/5

Caetano Veloso

4/5

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

When the greatest album of all time is brought up, this one is never missed. For good reason, the raw emotions this album contains is always clear, couples with fantastic musicians, especially guitars, makes for an incredible experiwnce.

Floodland

Sisters Of Mercy

4/5

Perfect 80s darkness, wrapped up in pop classics.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

4/5

Standard The Cure faire, until "A Forest" which is perhaps the best The Cure song.

Dry

PJ Harvey

3/5

Parklife

Blur

4/5

Britpop at its finest. Starting off with perhaps the besr bass riff of 90s pop.

Pornography

The Cure

5/5

Raw unsdulterated the cure, fantastic.
