Under Construction

Missy Elliott

2/5

I almost dropped out at track 9. If I hear that a song is another missy Elliott exclusive, I’ll kms

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

I enjoyed this! Very solid 3/5 album. I would not be offended to hear it again but unlikely I’ll ever revisit

A Night At The Opera

Queen

3/5

I enjoyed this! It is maybe a bit too rock-y for me normally and there are some stinkers (seaside rendezvous I’m looking at you) + some (overplayed) greats (I’ll confess I tuned out when bohemian rhapsody played). It is really a 3.5 as I would listen to it again willingly but I’m not adding it to my library

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

I have always enjoyed a bit of bob dylan. It’s lovely coffee shop music. It is a four as I’ve added it to my library to vibe with.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

2/5

First half much much better than second half. I don’t hate this as much as pop culture makes it seem like I might? 2/5

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Perfectly fine. I’m not offended by this but I will never willingly listen to it again. Obviously smoke on water slaps

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

Just an exceptional album. I would own on vinyl so it is a 5/5. Sure the last track is a bit rubbish but god, something in the way is so fucking good (and yes The Batman introduced me to this)

Joan Baez

3/5

A funny little folky album. 3/5

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

Shoegazey but in not a good way. Why write lyrics if you aren’t going to say them clearly? Anyway I think I disliked this more than I expected

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

5/5

I LOVE THIS ALBUM, it has curveballs like electronic renaissance and tender moments like Expectations (and most of the album). Teenage Harry is dancing, being reminded how to feel. Every listen I find some new little detail, I love the layered lyrics and composition. Obviously a 5/5

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Oh I know nick drake! His voice is silky smooth and I think I could listen to it all day. Do I remember any of the particular songs? No! Do I care? Also no! This album made me feel calm and soothed. 4/5

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Calming, gentle, second half very forgettable (although maybe that’s because I was locked in on spreadsheets)

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

Meh? I think Groove Is In The Heart is where their quirkiness works, whereas elsewhere it doesn’t quite line up

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

2/5

Way too fucking long. I actually don’t hate the vibe so it would be a 3/5 if it was actually edited!! Pristeen & Hanging Out and Hung Up on the Line stood out. But 2/5 because it wore down my soul.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

2/5

Stairway to heaven is the only one that truly stayed with me, otherwise a bit meh? 2/5

Zombie

Fela Kuti

3/5

This is fun! I enjoyed it

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

3/5

His covers of Hurt (obviously), First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Bridge Over Troubled Waters are so damn good but second half faded into obscurity for me. Solid 3/5.

S&M

Metallica

2/5

Full disclosure that I couldn’t commit to two hours of listening. But what I have listened to (basically the ones marked as popular by Apple) were good! It’s a fun concept

Blur

1/5

I just didn’t vibe with this at all (would accept partially because of my preoccupied mental state) so maybe 1/5? I just didn’t care for it

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

The boss! I enjoyed this- obviously knew born in the USA & dancing in the dark but the rest of the album was enjoyable but didn’t stick in my mind

Ten

Pearl Jam

1/5

I just do not enjoy incoherent shouting over loud sounds it turns out

Talking Book

Stevie Wonder

3/5

I didn’t fully vibe with this - a little too much weird instrumentals for my taste. But would I object to listening to this again? No

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

2/5

Started fine but just devolved into noise

All That You Can't Leave Behind

3/5

Great first four tracks and then………. Just a bit meh?

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

Yeahhhhhhh boyyyyyyyyyyyy! 🤘 🤘 🤘

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

3/5

Yeah starts good, it petered out for me. 3/5 because I would have it on the background

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

A truly great album that is somewhat tarnished because Win Butler is a sex pest. This was easy for me as Arcade Fire is my problematic fave but I haven’t listened to this album for a good 3 years… 5/5

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Meh

Medúlla

Björk

1/5

I just… what?? I did listen all the way through but honestly this just made no sense to me.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

I really enjoyed this - it felt more like a compilation than an album as the songs seemed to bounce around genres etc but yes good!

Black Sabbath

3/5

I enjoyed this way more than I expected!!

Abbey Road

Beatles

4/5

Not my favourite Beatles (I’m an early Beatles kinda guy) and the drums keep it tight before it gets *really* weird. But yeah cracking album

Talking Timbuktu

Ali Farka Touré

2/5

sure, fine?

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

I enjoyed this! I think minus a few stars because uh oh some pretty yikes-y lyrcis

Run-D.M.C.

1/5

god what a boring album?

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

2/5

Meh… nothing majorly grabbed me tbh

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

Love this album. Way more fun than I thought as I definitely expect ELO to be a bit like Monty Python/ABBA in that you know the hits but the duds are big misses. But! Pleasantly surprised!

Le Tigre

1/5

Just wasn’t very good……….

Infected

The The

3/5

Ok I fully expected based on the cover art to hate this…. But! It was actually pretty good?

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Two good songs… which are the well known ones. Otherwise quite meh!

Moondance
