Classic 1974 country. Definitely a personal heartbreak album. Worth a listen

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

I really like it. Her voice is outstanding and her lyrical style is unlike any I’ve heard before.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

Too maudlin for me. I’ve always liked Cinnamon Girl though so it’s interesting to hear the album that surrounded that gem in its entirety. I like Down By The River, seems familiar. Billy Talbot is a heck of a bass player, particularly on Cowgirl In The Sand. Might add that song into more regular rotation.

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

This is a really good album. I’ve always loved Yellow and Everything’s Not Lost. I haven’t listened to the whole album in 20 years so this was a nice listen. Probably not going into rotation at all, but a good little occasional reminiscing album.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

1/5

Meh. She’s great at what she does. I’m just not into it.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

1/5

Really didn’t like it. Sounded like a collection of Beatles songs that weren’t quite good enough to be on any Beatles albums; Waterloo Sunset being the exception. So far this album generator feels a lot like a boomer driven experience.

Fleet Foxes

4/5

So good. Listened to it three times in a row and then checked out the rest of their catalog

Remedy

Basement Jaxx

1/5

Not my jam.

Permission to Land

The Darkness

3/5

I had only ever heard the big single. I assumed the whole album would be good and it was.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

2/5

It’s good, of course… it tops so many lists. It’s not my favourite style of music but I can appreciate what it was for when it was made.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

1/5

I appreciate that this was groundbreaking, but won’t be listening again.

Seventh Tree

Goldfrapp

4/5

Really surprised. I liked this a lot

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

2/5

Heard the singles but never the whole album. Some of it I really liked, some songs I had to skip. Not expecting the album to be perfect, but probably skipped more than I liked

Another Green World

Brian Eno

1/5

Too experimental for me

The Grand Tour

George Jones

I liked it. Kind of reminded me of late 80s early 90s Inxs meets Beautiful South meets Simple Minds meets early U2 meets Level 42 maybe?

The Bends

Synchronicity

The Police

Solid

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

What a great album. Especially in the context of it being his final of 67 albums and a return to popular music relevance. I skipped one super slow song but I’ll listen to this album again. It’s the kind of album that I would put on sitting by myself and listening to every little detail of his voice and his emotion

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

5/5

One of my all time favourite albums

Greetings From L.A.

Some classic bangers and a generally enjoyable album overall but I didn’t find any hidden gems that I didn’t already know about. I’d rather listed to one of their greatest hits albums
