Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

4/5

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Either Or

Elliott Smith

4/5

Vulnerable. Feels like some minimal Jeff Buckley, if that makes sense. A surprising, pleasant find.

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Thought just the Bassline on "Billie Jean" and the solo on "Beat It" would be enough for 5 stars, bust the rest of the album hasn't aged as well.

Heroes

David Bowie

4/5

Don't Stand Me Down

Dexys Midnight Runners

2/5

Feels like one those that'll grow on you if you listen a good couple of times, but that first time was a real slog.

War

3/5

The Predator

Ice Cube

3/5

Untitled (Black Is)

SAULT

3/5

The Madcap Laughs

Syd Barrett

3/5

Rust In Peace

Megadeth

5/5

The album is great in everything it attempts; old-school thrash, modern grooves, technical solos, and even weirder attempts like "Dawn Patrol". Tight, focused and enjoyable.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

4/5

Horses

Patti Smith

3/5

Had heard a lot about Patti Smith, never listened before. Feels like there is a gem in there somewhere but it'll take more listens to find it. Note to self, I suppose.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

A decent album, but hardly memorable.

On The Beach

Neil Young

4/5

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

4/5

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

3/5

I never got the Beatles. And since they're so big, I always thought there'll be time to dive into it. This album though, it ain't it. At the very least it's an easy, fun listen, but that's not a very high bar.

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

The lyrical theme aside, hardly anything about the album stands out. It feels like pop with a P. I suppose if you don't connect to its theme it's just another album.

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

3/5

Brothers

The Black Keys

4/5

I was skeptical at first, but these riffs are infectious.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

4/5

One of those rare albums here that got me listening a couple of times. There's a danceable quality to almost all the songs, and the vocals are actually pleasantly hypnotic to my ears. Funny how I had never heard of these guys before.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Vespertine

Björk

3/5

I like Björk, or more like, the idea of Björk. I've tried to get into her music ever since Dancer in the Dark, but what she clearly and masterfully succeeds in creating is just not a very enjoyable mixture. It's like a very exotic cocktail; made by a pagan witch, incredibly light with swirling undercurrents of darkness, and just tasting weird as hell. In short, I'm probably gonna try this album later, or her other stuff. But for now, dammit, I'm just gonna have a shot of something simpler.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

A great surprise find. I'm baffled how I hadn't listened to more PJ Harvey before.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

Synchronicity

The Police

3/5

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

4/5

Perfectly unhinged, dirty and fuzzy. This is great stuff.

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

4/5

Third

Portishead

5/5

Haunting, unique, groovy. I had never listened properly listened to Portishead beyond their hits (Roads etc.) and this showed me how much I was missing out.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Eliminator

ZZ Top

4/5

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

4/5

Signing Off

UB40
