Out of Step by Minor Threat
Sep 04 2025

Hardcore punk. Not quite my thing but can see the appeal. Cashing In is the highlight track on the album. 6/10

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Sep 05 2025

Great voice (obv), easy listen. She's got her ticket, Why? and For My Lover the highlights outside of Fast Car. Second half of the album brings it to an 8.5/10

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 08 2025

Surprisingly disappointed with this. Wasn't bad but was pretty boring aside from the known hits. Was expecting to love it!

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Sep 09 2025

Beautiful in parts, wishy washy in others. Very laid back and easy going. Jacksonville and Casimir Pulaski Day the highlights.

Sep 10 2025

Some bangers, some filler. Starts very strong and gets a bit slow for my liking towards the end. Feel good. Lost Ones and Doo Wop the highlights.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Sep 11 2025

Old folk/country music. Was hoping for more lively but it was a bit slow. If it was all like Raised on Robbery I would have enjoyed it more!

Sep 12 2025

From a good era of music. The music itself was good and nice to listen to but the vocals didn't grab me. Step on the highlight.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Sep 15 2025

Genuinely liked this. Relatively heavy rock with good bass lines and vocals. Nirvana-esque at times. Black Hole Sun and The Day I tried to Live the highlights. Voted 3* but it's a 7/10.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Sep 16 2025

Grunge - loved it on a second listen. Rain When I Die & Dirt the two highlights.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Sep 18 2025

Didn't like this at all. Weak vocals and too weird/experimental for its own good. Was glad to learn it was one of his much later albums. How does the grass grow the only track I liked.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Sep 19 2025

Would listen again but nothing too special. Black Diamond my highlight. Preferred the faster stuff.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Sep 22 2025

Didn't captivate me but would listen again. All sounded pretty similar so I didn't really have a favourite.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 23 2025

50% is 10/10, the middle is a bit 'nothing'. If I could rate to 10 I'd give it a 9, but will do 4/5. Best hits don't need to be mentioned.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 24 2025

Bangers, obviously.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Sep 25 2025

Not my music at all. Bluesy but no vocals.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 26 2025

Slow dreary distorted rifts. Minimal singing and generally all sounded the same.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Sep 29 2025

Some nice songs in there but overall too slow for me. Don’t know why and Come Away With me the highlights.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Oct 02 2025

Little to know vocals. Not really my thing. Psych rock would be better with a bit of singing.

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 13 2025

Pleasant surprise. Set the tone with Cult of Personality at the start and it didn't look back. Banger.

Tommy by The Who
Oct 14 2025

Really did not like this. Frustrating having never properly listened to The Who before. Felt like music you'd hear at the theatre.
