One of the weaker Beatles albums. Run from title track —> she’s leaving home is 10/10 then it drops a steaming pile of shit with benefit of mr kite and within you without you.

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.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

4/5

Really unique album. Frontier psychiatrist bangs so hard

Pretty much perfect. If they had a better producer like George Martin this could have been up there with albums like sgt peppers

Queen II

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

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

Solid christmas album
