Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

Was already familiar with this album. Really strong, captivating opening. A joy to listen to, even if it doesn't grab your attention all the way through. Great driving music. No bad songs.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

Very familiar with this album. No bad songs and so unique. Love it!

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

I thought I'd like this but I really didn't vibe with it at all. All felt a bit flat to me, and unfortunately got a little sick of the vocals midway through. Sad.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

4/5

You won't find me saying a bad word about this album, it's too iconic.

Metallica

3/5

I can see the appeal and definitely enjoyed listening to this album. It's just not for me so much.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Really enjoyed listening to this!

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Had never really heard of Nilsson and was really pleasantly surprised. Musically and in terms of songwriting I thought it was great. Just maybe lacking a little bit of flow from one song to the next.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

2/5

Expected to like this, but it was all a bit flat.

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

The Velvet Underground never really vibed with me to be honest, but still this is probably the best of them and I can understand the appeal!

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

4/5

It's not Ziggy Stardust but it's worth a 4 for the opening alone

Joanna Newsom

3/5

Like Regina Spektor at a renaissance fair. I had no idea who Joanna Newsom was and found this album to be a really interesting experience. At times it was fantastic, I'm just not sure how much I'll want to listen again. Still though...respect.

Calenture

The Triffids

3/5

A pleasant but forgettable enough listen.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

A really pleasant surprise. Some really enjoyable, memorable tunes that I'll find myself listening to again!

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Great listen with lots of great hits. Gets a bit samey at times but hard to have too much of a good thing.

Aha Shake Heartbreak

Kings of Leon

5/5

This was already high up on my list of favourite indie albums before this. It's just so good. Could listen on repeat forever!

Electric Prunes

The Electric Prunes

3/5

Not all that exciting but nothing wrong with it at the same time. Had its moments.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

4/5

Not the country album I was expecting at all. Beautiful easy-listening album.

Play

Moby

4/5

An album full of earworms. Impressively every song is really playlist-able.

Live At Leeds

The Who

4/5

Hell yeah

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

3/5

The good is very good, and the filler is not hard to listen to either. I just found that I wanted to like it more than I actually liked it.

Planet Rock: The Album

Afrika Bambaataa

1/5

I was waiting for an album like this to come along. When it comes to early hip-hop, I'm glad these albums existed as a precursor to what we have today. But I really got no enjoyment out of this.

Heartbreaker

Ryan Adams

3/5

A very nice listen maybe lacking something a bit more memorable. Would listen again!

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

Actually not my favourite Beatles album. Obviously there are some all-timers here but just doesn't strike the same chord with me as Revolver or Sgt Pepper. Hilarious that Octupus' Garden is on this album.

Lost Souls

Doves

4/5

Fantastic album I'm excited to listen to again!

Africa Brasil

Jorge Ben Jor

4/5

I heard so much amazing music when I was in Portugal that I never managed to catch the name of, and this guy's the exact vibe. Really enjoyable listen.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

3/5

An artist I had heard a lot about but never really listened to. A solid album with some good tracks.

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

1/5

Not a whole lot to enjoy here. A real snooze fest.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Great album. Ozzy's voice is on point.
