Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

Some good songs but it leans into ballad territory a bit too much. A little bit too sugary in places for me.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Album #2 Enjoyed

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Very good beats and very relaxing.

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Really don't see the appeal. A couple of pleasant songs but quite dull overall. This genre has been done so much better by so many other artists.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

2/5

Will definitely check out their other albums but didn't care for this one. It was too brooding and found a lot of their songs outstayed their welcome. I did think 'sin in my heart" was a tune though.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

2/5

Arise

Sepultura

3/5

Not really much of a metal fan but found this to be ok. Enjoyed the thrash nature of it and had some catchy grooves and hooks . Liked it more than I thought but definitely need to be in the right mood for it.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

Really enjoyed this ,amazing grooves and guitar work. The fact I couldn't understand anything they were saying whilst still enjoying the music speaks volumes!

White Denim

3/5

A nice background record. Found a lot of songs enjoyable yet forgettable. A Mixed bag for me

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Enjoyed much more than i was expecting. Can see how they influenced lots of soft rock band I like such as The Lemonheads. Not a huge fan of REM but this was an enjoyable listen

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

1/5

Can see the huge impact and influence Ravi has on a lot of music I enjoy, but this genre is not at all for me, with every single track hugely outstaying it's welcome

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

London Calling

The Clash

5/5

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

Enjoyed from start to finish but didn't feel I could really fully immerse myself into it. Some songs felt quite generic

Oasis

5/5

Face to Face

The Kinks

3/5

Would give this a 3.5 if I could. Always liked The Kinks and this has some great catchy pop tunes but overall album was too long
