Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Not the shitty 80s pop I was expecting at all. Pretty good actually

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

2/5

Not a fan, but preferred this to KL’s more recent output. He sounds less like a cartoon character. Production crisper.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Needless to say I’m a Sabbath (and Ozzy) devotee. I’d pick any of the 3 following albums over this one. But it’s still a banger. RIP

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Top drawer. Lindsey Buckingham is underrated as a guitarist.

Synchronicity

The Police

2/5

Some interesting stuff going on, but not enough for a second listen. Once the album finished Spotify played the far superior “Something About You” by Level 42.

Highly Evolved

The Vines

3/5

Okay. Sounds like a mixture of other bands, not always in a terrible way.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

1/5

Bonnie Raitt? Bonnie Shaitt more like

Blur

4/5

Enjoyable, listening to it after a long long time. Only criticism is maybe Albarn’s vox are a bit lame here and there

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

A bit of harmless fun.

Ramones

3/5

They're the AC/DC of first wave punk. Fun up to a point.

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

4/5

Some great lyrics in here.

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

2/5

The way she sang the line “down at the Men In Music Business Conference” immediately made me think of Jermaine Clement singing “Team Building Exercise ‘99”. Couldn’t take it seriously from that point onwards (about 30 seconds into the opening track)

Common

3/5

OK as background music. For Starbucks or the lift.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

The songwriting is brilliant. I just can't get past Lennon's hippy egomania and the annoying personality cult around it.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

5/5

Genius.

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

4/5

I started out thinking "it's OK, wouldn't listen again". A few tracks in, that'd changed to "actually I quite like some of this, still probably wouldn't listen again". By the end of the album I realise I'd happily listen to it again. Which was nice.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

2/5

It’s for the background of Gossip Girl or similar American TV teen dramas. Hard for me to treat it as music in its own right.

Melodrama

Lorde

2/5

I didn't hate this as much as I expected, but wouldn't choose to listen again. The production / sound is awesome though

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

3/5

Our own decisions

Black Sabbath

4/5

I feel like I have to give a 5 due to its seminal status. Rounding down to 4. Much bluesier, rock-and-rollier, Zeppelin-er than their following albums; a product of the end of the 60s rather than the start of the 70s

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

3/5

A pleasant enough listen

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

4/5

I would buy this record

Heavy Weather

Weather Report

4/5

Fretless
