Had "Fuck Tha Police" stuck in my head all day. Overall decent album with some hip hop classics and a few gems that I wasn't aware of. Personal highlight "Parental Discretion Iz Advised"
Listened to this 5 times in a day, belter album. Órla asked me to skip to the next song during "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, Pt. 2" as the synths were making her anxious. I remember having this on my iPod 20 years ago as I was trying to smooch a girl called Eimear at the time, and this was her favourite album. Never did get to smooch Eimear, but young love is fleeting, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots is forever.
Art Garfunkel was absolutely carried by Paul Simon throughout his career, Paul outshining him at every single opportunity. No wonder he went solo tbh. Not my favourite S&G album but definitely some bops on there
I had no idea Mariah Carey's "Without You" was a cover 🤯 Some recognisable tunes on this one, I remember Coconut from an old advertisement but don't think I'd ever listened to the full song until today. Is Coconut racist? Drum break in Jump Into The Fire makes me want to fight Will definitely listen to this again. Some of the demos sound like Brett from Flight Of The Conchords
Some next level 'separating the art from the artist's required today regarding Kanye, but oh my god the production quality of this album is unreal. Personal highlights were Chi-City and The Food. This has gave me an appetite for hip-hop again
I thought this was shit but maybe I'm just in a bad mood today. The Wikipedia article states "New Wave laid the groundwork for what would subsequently become Britpop", and that's a crime that should never be forgiven. I hate songs where the chorus is just the name of the song repeated, and this album is a serial offender (see Bailed Out, American Guitars). I normally give the daily album a few spins, but one will do for this guy. Maybe I'll come back to it.
Unreal, couldn't get enough of this. I knew some of the hits from this but never listened to the album in full and it really surprised me. Wasn't expecting the shredding on Broken. This will enter heavy rotation.
Whoever put a 3+ hour box set of jazz on this list needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror. I get it, Ella had an amazing voice and was a jazz pioneer, but there are a few tracks on this compilation that sum up my feelings about today's pull: Who Cares? I Can't Be Bothered Now Suffered through this in hopes the 1001 Albums Gods smile upon me tomorrow.
A breath of fresh air after yesterday's 3-hour jazzathon. Went for a big cycle up the Mournes and played this twice, brilliant stuff. Absolutely love the jangly guitars in this. The drums in the outro to Happy Death Men are unreal.
She's a good lad thon Bjork, not my favourite album of hers but there are some goodies on here, Play Dead is still a banger. Bjork has a different understanding of tonality than the rest of us, and she's right and we're all wrong.
Irresistible urge to boot Mothball in the head during this one 🦶 A few classics on here, No Sleep Til Brooklyn still a favourite.The sample flip on Slow Ride 🙌 RIP MCA
Bonkers that Coldplay used to make such good music, instead of pumping out shite stadium singalongs and uncovering CEO's doing the dirty. I audibly sighed when I seen today's album and I'm a big enough man to admit I was wrong. Lovely album, I forgot how good Shiver was, High Speed is also a bop. Chris Martin; If you're reading this (and I know you are) please have a conscious uncoupling from doodling on yerself whilst writing life-affirming stadium anthem bullshit and go back to this.
oh baby dem harmonies ❤️ there's a wee guitar harmonic in You Don't Have To Cry that tickles my brain, and the vocal harmonies in Helplessly Hoping are next level. Beaut album
The opening track 'Krautrock' really be testing a mothafucka patience at 8am this morning. The rest of the album was OKAY, it definitely doesn't sound like it was released in the 70's, it was definitely ahead of it's time but also I don't really care
U2 are the most overrated band on the planet and OH MY GOD THERE ARE 3 MORE U2 ALBUMS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKER 🤬 See if my algorithm now thinks I want to listen to U2, I'm gonna headbutt Bono
Don't think I'd ever listened to a full Supergrass album before this and it was great
I can't believe I used to think Black Sabbath were corny when I was a teenager. What an enormous knob I was. Vol 4 is a masterpiece, Snowblind and Cornucopia might be my 2 favourite Sabbath songs. RIP Ozzy 🤟🦇
As soon as Sound Of Silver appeared this morning I knew it was going to be a five star straight away, but I listened to it 4 times before lunchtime anyway just to be sure. This album gives me the energy of a 17 year old. My first 5-star rating, masterpiece.
