British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

My only experience hearing this band was on Beavis and Butthead… Breaking The Law! Didn’t really know what to expect. I always thought Judas Priest was metal, which I tend to avoid. This was great though, more like hard rock with some metal-esque guitar solos. Was this ahead of its time? I found it a little cheesy at times, but maybe that’s just because I’m hearing it for the first time in 2025. Maybe this was mind blowing back in the day.

I See You

The xx

2/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

3/5

Meh. Kinda cheesy. Well produced though.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

4/5

Great album. Reminds me of learning guitar in high school.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

Not my jam, but I can appreciate the lyrical skills.

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

Nice bass. Talented band, but overall pretty weak songs and shallow boring lyrics.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

Further proof that P-Mac was the better songwriter. A couple good tunes on here but it’s mostly average at best. The last few seconds bumped John up a few notches on my list of worst harmonica players ever (he’s giving Bob Dylan a run for his money).

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

3/5

Was not really into this to start but it did grow on me as the album progressed. When Back To Life came on I was like, hey I’ve heard this. Was going to give it a 2 but, despite probably never listening to it again, I think it deserves a 3.

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

3/5

Couple real gems. Couple decent head bobbers. And a bunch of filler.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

4/5

Solid 4. Would give it 4.5 if I could.

Axis: Bold As Love

Jimi Hendrix

3/5

Never could jive with Jimi’s melodies and chord progressions. Very inconsistent, some good tracks on here though. Title track is strong.

Hypnotised

The Undertones

3/5

Fun band. Consistent album. But, I was never really wowed by any tracks.

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

4/5

Pretty good. My first time hearing this artist.

British Steel

Judas Priest

4/5

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

3/5

Hits from the bong

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Some good songs. The falsetto singing got old.

Van Halen

5/5

Amazing debut. This must have blown minds when it came out. I like how succinct it is too. 35 minutes, all killer no filler.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

3/5

It was a fine album. Understandable why I’ve never heard of them though.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy

2/5

Liked the message, but the delivery was lackluster. First song was the strongest.

The Clash

4/5

Never got into them beyond the radio hits. This exceeded my expectations. Kind of like the Sex Pistols but better musicians.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

4/5

Surprised how guitar-forward this was. I always thought Blondie was like an 80s synth pop band. Reminded me of The Cars. I love how she breaks up her voice in the back of her throat every now and then.

High Violet

The National

3/5

Decent album. Got bored with it after a while.

Liquid Swords

GZA

3/5

It was alright.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Strong 4. There were a few songs though that I was happy when they ended.

The Specials

4/5

Never heard of them. Was actually surprised how much I enjoyed it.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

3/5

Meh. Some good moments, but mostly easily forgettable.

Heaux Tales

Jazmine Sullivan

1/5

My favorite part was when it ended.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

5/5

My first 5 star of an album I’ve never listened to in it’s entirety. I was fully engaged start to finish. Was expecting good things, since I love the hit single title track, was not disappointed
