9.5 Defo one of those albums that changed me. First punk album I ever heard and I’d never enjoyed anything that sounded so ugly and messy before. Feel like a lot of the impact it had on me bled into a lot of later things I got into and changed the way I felt about a lot of other things I enjoyed. Formative! Still think the closing 4 songs are my fave album exit ever. Shame about brand new Cadillac tho.

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

3/5

Roxy Music

5/5

9 Never listened to one of their albums before and dunno why but I went in this quite ready to not enjoy it.

Beatles

5/5

10 It’s defo not one of my fave Beatles albums but I am a fake fan and this is the first time I’ve ever listened to this. I loved them and they’re one of those bands that no matter how long I’ve known them for I still find new songs I love. Cool cool album cover too I lov it lov lov!!!

9 Do u know what is cute? Simon and Garfunkel. Do you know what is double cute?? Simon and garkfunkle singing about old people. Didn’t expect to be assaulted with this level of cuteness.
