Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

There I was, twelve years old, no clue what came before. No Interpol, no Strokes, no Libertines on my radar. Just Hot Fuss in my headphones, and the world cracked open like a crisp can of pop on a too-hot afternoon in 2004. It was loud. It was shiny. It was dramatic in all the right ways. I didn’t care about scene cred or who did it first. I just knew I liked it. Now, years later; I’ve eaten at better restaurants, I’ve heard more 'important' records. But I’ll say this, Hot Fuss has aged better than most of its cooler, leather-jacket-wearing peers. Some things built for the mainstream actually last. And this one? It’s still got it. Just so we're clear here, I’m talking about the first half. The second half is straight-to-VHS. Leftover sausage roll after a birthday party. You chew through it because it’s there, but you’re not going back for seconds. Still, for a moment, it felt like something new. And for a twelve-year-old kid, that was enough.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Fucking great. Pure, unfiltered Axl at his peak. Not sure I’ve ever listened to it start to finish before but what a record. Every track hits.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

Knopfler is a genuis. In the words of Douglas Adams: "Mark Knopfler has an extraordinary ability to make a Schechter Custom Stratocaster hoot and sing like the angels on a Saturday night, exhausted from being good all week and needing a stiff drink" Also a Geordie legend. Haway the lads.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

The Voice.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Always loved this album so coming back to it and really *listening* to it was a joy. The double bass, the way Phife and Tip interact with each other is just a joy. 5/5

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

Brimful of Asha is a certi banger. Appreciate the influencers and the mergering of sounds but the production feels a little lazy, repeated samples and melodies throughout.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

Brian Wilson

2/5

Oh, what could have been. Feels like had this been recorded at this team it could have been an all time classic, but the 2004 children's tv sounding, over polished production is just too much to look past for me. Sorry Brian, you're still one of the greats

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Close To You

Carpenters

3/5

Makes me nostalgic for a time i didn't live in. When popular culture depicts the 70s NY warehouse parties, this is what i actually imagine the music of the decade to be like for most people. 3/5 in context of everything else, but still enjoyed.
