Sea Change

Beck

3/5

A few absolute hits but quite a few duds

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

The 13th Floor Elevators

2/5

Cool sounds but a bit to eclectic. One really ok song.

16 Lovers Lane

The Go-Betweens

2/5

Very mid to my ears. Meant to not be too complicated or demanding when driving a car.

The Stone Roses

3/5

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

Nice sounds, Broski beat and erasure vibes.

Ghosteen

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Very Nick Cave. Very orchestral.

Technique

New Order

3/5

Nice! A bit too 80s. Not very timeless.

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce

3/5

Nice funk. Good stuff.

Marcus Garvey

Burning Spear

3/5

Nice reggae. Funky.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

3/5

Pretty great actually. Not all my jam tho.

Dummy

Portishead

3/5

A few absolute classics. Then some very mediocre ones. I blame mixing for most of the so so songs. Very 80s and 90s cheap drum machine sound.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

Absolute best. Remastered album still slaps. To this day. Maybe it's not worth 5 starts but I listened to it twice and it made my day.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome

Frankie Goes To Hollywood

3/5

Ok. Some classics

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

4/5

Classic Morrissey, sometimes almost a parody of himself.. but so good.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

2/5

Some creative 90s mixing. And sampling. But I don't think a single song stuck. Nice album tho.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

3/5

Very nice, heavy blues. Proto rap. Like it but a little too hot and miss for me.

I’ve Got a Tiger By the Tail

Buck Owens

4/5

Nice sound. Very cool. Apparently progenitor off the Bakersfield sound. Something old and still timeless about it.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

3/5

Classic. Instantly recognizable hip hop. Easy listen.

Low-Life

New Order

2/5

Synth pop distilled. One great song. The rest just not leaving much of an impression for me.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

Absolutely fantastic. Such a well crafted album.

Scissor Sisters

3/5

Eclectic and bubbly. Many well known songs. Next gen Jamiroquai. A bit to bubbly for my taste.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

1/5

Uhh. Early grunge and industrial. Hard listen. Not for me and unplugged electric guitar is a difficult sound to pull off. NMH did it so much better.

Like Water For Chocolate

Common

4/5

Very good album. Some really good songs, I mostly like the grooves. Surprisingly easy to have in the background.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

Very nice. A bit 70s carneval sound sometimes.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

2/5

Classic. But a bit bland. To many blues riffs.

Selected Ambient Works 85-92

Aphex Twin

3/5

Very good background music. Good beats.

Honky Tonk Masquerade

Joe Ely

2/5

Old country, extremely honky tonk. To much even.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

I mean sure, it's a classic.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Pretty neat, picks up towards the end with sober good tunes. Not very melodic at times but heavy.

What's Going On

Marvin Gaye

3/5

Some loungey hours that I looked. Quite preachy but it's his style. Best songs at the end that are less hits and more soul.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Quite forgettable. With a bunch of meh, but better than a lot of grunge pop(?). Or early indie or whatever. Jesus etc is it really really good though.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

2/5

Melodic pop with punk vibes. Nice but can't remember any song.

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

All Mod Cons

The Jam

4/5

Quite nice. No notes. Sex pistols but they know how to play and sing.

Something/Anything?
