3/5

I quite liked it when listening but it's really forgettable. Great album cover though

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

The best non-cream clapton album (and a lot of the good parts are duane allman anyway). Every song is good at least but it goes on a little too long. The cover of little wing is a bit ass compared to the original. Layla hits tho damn both parts slap - the bit where eric is creaming for his best friends wife, and the second half where duane allman goes nuts with the slide is heavenly. Eric also hates foreigners and jim gordon killed his mum.

Queen

4/5

Forgot how good this album is. Much more consistent than sheer heart attack, but other than a couple tracks it's not quite on the same level as some of the stuff from night at the opera or innuendo. March of the black queen is a 10 though on par with bohemian rhapsody
