Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

What a time capsule. All the synth, choir, slap bass and choppy guitar feel a touch cheesy now. Lyrics are surprisingly challenging and non pop. I have no doubt it was huge at the time.

Faith No More

Aww, little baby numetal. So cute.

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

2/5

Some kind of British pop-electric-prog-dance thing. Nothing too special.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Classic Marley. Bluesier than I expected. Not sure how it rates compared to his other works; the only "hit" here is No Woman No Cry.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Chill acoustic. Didn't grab me, be I liked it.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

3/5

Its Clapton, but I didn't dig it. I guess I've never really liked his stuff? Just sounds like a lot of noise to me; maybe its how its mixed. A surprising take given my affinity for most classic rock.

Led Zeppelin III

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Peak zeppelin.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

Excellent.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

2/5

Generic 80s/90s synth pop. Wandering nasal vocals. Not my scene.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

5/5

Where did this come from? This is excellent. Good weird skat, solid groove, thoughtful solos.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

I do love Joni, and there's a lot of good ones here.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

So gritty. These songs go hard, but kind of all sound the same to me.

Entertainment

Gang Of Four

2/5

British punk proto ska. Just made me want to listen to the police

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

This can't be the same band that made Rumours. All the fire is gone. With exception of the last couple tracks the songs are wandering and listless.

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

3/5

A classic? Hard to tell from passive listening while working. Most of the art is the lyrics, and I'd have to listen again.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

4/5

A very strong showing of acoustic Dylan.

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

3/5

An eclectic collection of song types. Must have been revolutionary at the time, but feels a bit stale now.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

This is some very funky funk. Excellent party music, but songs drags on a bit for focused listening.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

Groovin.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

4/5

Very 90s. Smashmouth-esque voiced by Lord farquad. Quirky yet strangely alluring.

Like A Prayer

Madonna

4/5

What a time capsule. All the synth, choir, slap bass and choppy guitar feel a touch cheesy now. Lyrics are surprisingly challenging and non pop. I have no doubt it was huge at the time.

Dummy

Portishead

4/5

Sublime. Low key electronica/pop. Reminds me of zero7.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

2/5

The hits are good, but the rest don't measure up. Generic pop?

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

3/5

Gritty unvarnished punk.
