In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

So many great songs on this album. Really excellent

Rio

Duran Duran

4/5

There’s a lot to love about this album. It’s starts off with the title track right out of the gate which is something you don’t usually see. Duran Duran knew that this album was a bold statement. What I really loved are songs like The Chauffeur which has way more intricacy and complexity than you’d expect from an 80s new wave band

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

3/5

The skill of Mike Ladd is pretty impressive and this album is like listening to jazz fusion with hip hop vocals but I just couldn’t dig on it. Definitely an album you need to actively listen to versus cruisin’ in the slab

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Great album. I did 4 instead of 5 stars because, even with the remastering, the mixing is still incredibly top-heavy.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

Homework

Daft Punk

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

This album is fantastic. My only possible criticism would be that they front-loaded the singles but even still, no skips on this one.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

4/5

The Beach Boys Today!

The Beach Boys

4/5

You can definitely hear the new directions and the experimentation going on in this album that would really be there subsequently on Pet Sounds. It’s interesting to hear Brian Wilson’s processes. The Beach Boys is one of those bands where it would be fun to go through the discography and enjoy the journey

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

I just wasn’t feeling this one. It’s fine but not really in the headspace to appreciate it

Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Very pleasant album. I also love seeing artists like Sza being influenced by these types of albums

The La's

3/5

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

What can be said about this album that hasn’t already been said? The production is fantastic, the content is amazing, and the fact that he was only like 20 when this dropped is a testament to Nas being the GOAT. Man, that first beat on New York State of Mind is just chef’s kiss

Bitches Brew

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

The Last Broadcast

Doves

3/5

This wasn’t bad but not something I’ll listen to again

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

This one’s just full of hits but it’s also really well thought out in terms of the track order. The musicianship is also just insane

The Band

3/5

This wasn’t bad but I got a bit tired of it

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

4/5

Very pleasant album and dude is ridiculously good at his craft

Zombie

Fela Kuti

4/5

This was a great protest album and just all around excellent jazz

Loveless

My Bloody Valentine

1/5

The mixing is awful on this and can’t hear the vocals at all. I couldn’t get through it

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

4/5

This was a fun album. Parts of it were very industrial, other parts sounded like Manson, and then others sounded like Static X. Seems very ahead of its time

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

Boston

5/5

The fact that you can sing along to every song on this album is a testament to how good each one is. The entire album is great, musicianship is on point, and that voice is just unreal. So good

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

4/5

Roots

Sepultura

3/5

It’s a good album but definitely need to be in the mood for it

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

This is a masterclass in harmonizing. I also loved hearing the Afro-Cuban influence on Patterns that Paul Simon would take into his solo career on things like Graceland.

4/5

Signing Off

UB40

3/5

I have a soft spot for UB40 from car rides as a kid but I hadn’t heard the debut album. This is interesting as it’s not a pop-focused as the later stuff but the political messages are intriguing. It’s great for background music but not something I’d listen to on the regular. Also the as not expecting a reggae cover of Strange Fruit

Forever Changes

Love

2/5

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

What an epic album. One thing I noticed is that Bill Ward’s drumming is amazing on this. Izzy’s voice always gets the love you you gotta hand it to the other members as well

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

Suzanne Vega

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Good album here. You can hear that it’s from the 70s but it also has a lot more blues than you’d expect from something at this time. Not something I’d probably listen to a lot but still a good one

Kilimanjaro

The Teardrop Explodes

3/5

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Common

The songs themselves are ok but the mixing is awful and I couldn’t get past that
