Psychedelic blues charm but bit of a mixed bag

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

Like a warm hug....that occasionally scolds you about the Vietnam War

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Jumped Into The Fire has jumped into my most listened

3/5

Enjoyed Testify, well produced album by an absolute madman

New Wave

The Auteurs

1/5

Away with yourself

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Wall to wall bangers, no fillers! Every song feels like a soundtrack to some mad 80s film, the production is absurdly lush

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

4/5

Loved it

Crocodiles

Echo And The Bunnymen

2/5

Just didn't click with this

Debut

Björk

3/5

Probably should have listened to this first, rather than Crocodiles after the bank holiday weekend when I've been playing catch-up. One had me feeling like i was wearing a soaking wet trench coat and the other had me looking through a glittery kaleidoscope. The Icelandic fairy queen FTW

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

3/5

Parachutes

Coldplay

4/5

I loved this album when it first came out, even back in my Nu-Metal–obsessed days which says a lot! Nestled on my CD rack between Follow the Leader and Significant Other, it still holds up brilliantly.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Those harmonies are ridiculous

Faust IV

Faust

2/5

Enjoyed Jennifer and Lauft... Heisst Das Es Lauft Oder Es Kommt Bald..Lauft had me floating through space

Achtung Baby

3/5

The eternal U2 conundrum: Great album that really reinvented themselves from their 80s sound and having One on it (I'd say my favourite of theirs) BUT.......fuckin Bono's a ballbawg

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

Such an enjoyable album! Sun Hits the Sky and Late in the Day both cracker.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

5/5

Aw man, what can I say? Enough doom riffs to power a small city! From Snowblind to Changes, a heavy, trippy, tender and unhinged album

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

All My Friends still hits me in the feels, great memories flooding through listening to this album this morning

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

LA gutter sleaze at its finest

Dummy

The music equivalent of Demona from Gargoyles

3/5

This album is the DNA of half the hip-hop samples I’ve ever heard

Kate Bush

3/5

So unhinged, loved getting lost in the weirdness of this album

Autobahn

Kraftwerk

3/5

I liked it

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

I had this on repeat when I was younger. I'd say the same as all of you, but this hasn't aged well and now I feel ancient. Cheers, Album Generator :( Stan and The Way I Am still slap so I'm meeting my review halfway with 12 year old Darren.

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

It’s the anti-Appetite for Destruction, I'd give it 3.5

Black Sabbath

5/5

The sound of rain, the toll of the bell and then Tony hits ye right up the bake with THAT riff? Christ alive, hook it to my veins! Can I give it 10?

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

What an album! Morello bringing this sound in 92 must have left some amount of jaws on the ground and Zack's manifesto/battle cry wants me to stockpile some petrol bombs

Oxygène

Jean-Michel Jarre

3/5

I do enjoy my atmospheric sci-fi soundtracks and can see why this would have been groundbreaking back in the 70s

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

2/5

It just never seemed to get going

The Clash

4/5

What a debut, pure adrenaline!

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

This would be a 3.5

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

2/5

Had this on while I was cooking lunch and enjoyed it as background beats

Dire Straits

3/5

Catching up with this one on a Monday morning has me starting the week with a nice, laid-back vibe. Knopfler is something else (3.5)

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Fuzzy funky beats with nonsense lyrics

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

Two big hitters at the start of this album, but the rest stood up too

A Tribe Called Quest

3/5

Enjoy Q-Tip's smooth and chilled delivery.

The Visitors

ABBA

4/5

Bittersweet divorce pop perfection

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Grim enough but good

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

VERY questionable lyrics in a lot of the tracks but Lemmy's bass sounds like a chainsaw chewing through a power grid. Pure greasy rock n roll

The Score

Fugees

4/5

Love this. Feels like it’s been constantly in my rotation for as long as I can remember, the cassette was always kicking around the house when I was growing up

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

No honky tonk good time on this country album. There’s a heavy lived in sadness to it especially after finding out he’d done time before writing it.

Every Picture Tells A Story

Rod Stewart

2/5

A couple of tracks not too bad but i felt like I zoned out for the 40mins, very forgettable

Hotel California

Eagles

2/5

Gorgeous production and iconic songs but a bit too polished for its own good

Copper Blue

Sugar

4/5

Never listened to Sugar before but the riffs hooked me straight off the bat. Changes absolutely slapped and the guitars sound massive all the way through

Chemtrails Over The Country Club

Lana Del Rey

3/5

Felt like I was slightly floating through this one. Didn’t mind it.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

3/5

Could practically feel the cigarette smoke burning my eyes during this one. Still, pure atmosphere

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

Enjoyed that

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

2/5

Couple of great tracks that really hit, but a lot of filler in between. ★★½

GREY Area

Little Simz

4/5

SLAPPED

Kala

M.I.A.

2/5

Paper Planes still sounds great but the rest of the album didn’t land the way I remembered. Maybe it just sounded better when I was 19 and drinking carry outs under random bridges. ★★½

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

3/5

Hell yeah, brother

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Close to a 4, couple of big hitters on this one ★★★½☆

Yank Crime

Drive Like Jehu

4/5

Chaotic in a good way

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

Never really listened to Plup before but that was class *Jarvis Cocker strut

Goo

Sonic Youth

3/5

So close to a 4 but i'll keep that for daydream ★★★½☆

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

I’ve got a core memory of Lovefool coming on the radio in my Da’s old Astra as we drove into Dungloe during the ’97 summer holidays (Atlantic 252). Bonus star for that Sabbath cover, obviously.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Enjoyed that! Smooth assed country and every song felt like its own little short film ★★★½

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Brilliant, better than a DeLorean

Larks' Tongues In Aspic

King Crimson

3/5

It's a bit of a mixed bag
