This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

3/5

You can tell it had some influence in post punk and no-wave at the end of the 80s, that bass is really cranked up and the drums hit really hard, just a shame that a lot of this is uninteresting to me, many songs seem to blow by because they just repate the same elements and the lyrics are rather ambiguous or non-sensical, not that either are really a problem on their own but the execution here makes a couple of this songs bland despite how loud and agressive they are. On top of that, it's really long, and the most interesting and experimental cuts on here seem to be the shortest. Good album, but i don't love this.

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

Soft and nice Jazz, very sweet but repetitive album, i would be glad to re -listen sometime, but it's role might be more backround than fron page.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh, a-weema-weh

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

snowblind it's an amazing song

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

it's all heavy in a way, a lot of softness is lost from his previous work for a bluesier/rockier sound, doesn't mean i dislike it though, this has some great songs on it.

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

4/5

Bad

Michael Jackson

3/5

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

3/5

Psychocandy

The Jesus And Mary Chain

4/5

It dug a hole in my ears, i'd do it again

She's So Unusual

Cyndi Lauper

3/5

Cool pop 80s album, some bangers, some bores here and there, but still left me with a good expression, i'd just come back for the hits, though

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

3/5

Welcome to the jungle kinda gets a star by itself.

Movies

Holger Czukay

4/5

Wow, this is a really cool one, just found out how important Czukay was for crafting can's iconic sound, i used to remember damo as the face of can, but this man really had some special gifts when it came to melody and rythm, that he just stole that spot for me. There might be a couple of odd moments in these large compositions that throw me off a little, but im nothing short of amazed by this, i should re-listen to it soon, because it fucking rocks.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

5/5

PERFECT SOUL ALBUM ISAAC HAYES WAS SOOOOO AHEAD OF HIS TIME. Monumental and instrumental piece to understand contemporary r&b and soul music. 10/10 NO NOTES

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

3/5

GOODNIGHT I HAVE WORK

Hunting High And Low

a-ha

2/5

It's just take on me, the rest is really uninteresting, it doesn't get the job done in terms of quality or consistency.

Unhalfbricking

Fairport Convention

4/5

IM GONNA RE-LISTEN THE HELL OUT OF THIS ALBUM

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

so warm, so lovely, makes me want to do stuff just for the sake of it, amazing

London Calling

The Clash

It's Too Late to Stop Now

Van Morrison

3/5

It must've been a crazy experience to see these shows live, and you can really tell the type of energetic beast he was in the 70s, but that gets a little lost for me because i find most of his repertoire to be a little one dimensional, though it must've really worked amazingly when played live, or even in video, like when he did caravan on the last dance. But overall, as an album, and even a live album, it doesn't get me as excited as i think i should be, though a lot of songs DO work and slap regardless of the context, most of it it's just cool, and enjoyable, but nothing too crazy.

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

Great live album, really, this was the last dance, and they went out with a big one, such a banger setlist of lesser known/cover songs that really put into perspective where the band's evolution and stardom had led them to, pure and unfiltered introspection, emotion and passion, the last burst of nirvana's short-spanned flame is forever pictured in this stripped back concert, that manages to sound bigger and more layered than it ever should have the right to, this concert shouldn't have gone as well as it did, and as we now know, the reasons it did, were the signs of the sudden end for the spark that made nirvana special in the first place.

Isn't Anything

My Bloody Valentine

3/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

I think it's length plays against it, and it doesn't do it for me like some of my favourite works of him, still a lyrical jewel.

The La's

4/5
