Already listened to it, arguably one of the most important rock albums of its time, with a very prominent message within about drug addiction. Almost psychedelic in sound and nature, and very ahead of its time, a 10/10 in my eyes.
I had already listened to this one and thought it was ok, then decided to relisten to it and realised just how catchy this album is. The title track for the album is an incredible listen, easily the standout track on it, but there are plenty of other songs that are almost just as catchy. The song-writing on the album is good too, so overall a solid 9/10.
Incredible Folk album, one of the pioneers of its kind, and with some absolutely stellar song-writing to boot. The way Dylan interweaved some more rock-centric sounds with his classic country music is something that wasn't seen at that time, so it truly was an innovation on the sound. Not much more to say, a solid 9.5/10
Some rather nice sounding synth sounds in this record, however it just doesn't quite do it for me. Sure, the sound in the album was very uncommon for the time it was released, but there were other albums before it doing arguably more. Not a bad album, per se, just not one that really revolutionised its sound. 7.5/10
This is a hard album to write about, because what are you meant to say? It's Coldplay, arguably one of the most popular and currently influential bands, and probably their best album. This album tugs on the emotional cords really well, and while a lot of that may be attributed to the melancholy use of piano, Martin's quivery, falsetto voice adds onto this feeling of sadness you may feel when listening to it. Overall, a good album from a good, albeit a touch overrated band, a solid 8.5/10.
This album left a lot to be desired, put bluntly. As a debut album, it holds up just fine. A bit on the short side, with a considerable few good songs. However, this album just didn't really deliver. At most points it just felt like background music, not to mention Petty has plenty of other great songs, songs better than those present on this album. For a band's first album, its fine, just not great, especially compared to some of Petty's other works. Overall, a 6/10.
As some of my first exposure to Kate Bush, and after hearing a few of her other, much more popular songs, I can safely say that she is a truly great artist. The pop influence on this album is heard through many of its songs, but it still has a very somber tone. I can't say much else about it, it's a solid 8.5/10.
This album was pretty good, I enjoyed listening to some of the songs, the instrumentation was very nice, at some points have more complexity than other songs of its time, not much else to say, a decent 8/10.
Good album, as my introduction to Jethro Tull. However, it felt just a bit generic, with some fairly bog standard prog-rock instrumentation, however as a concept album, it works very well. The story of Aqualung is told throughout the lyrics of the music, which is a concept that wasn't often seen when this album was released. Overall, it's a solid project, 8/10.
I've already listened to this album, and I already think it is an incredible punk record, with some of the most out there and futuristic soundscapes, even for its time. There was nobody doing what these guys did, even 45 years after the fact, few projects have managed to innovate on a genre as much as this one. And, it has some killer riffs and melodies to boot. Overall, I can't go lower than a 10/10.
This album is famously considered to be one of the greatest punk records of all time, but personally, I just don't quite get it. I understand the influence it may have had on the genre, but there were plenty of other punk records released before this which had an even more advanced sound. Still, this record holds up really well, and is obviously very good, with some very nice sounding guitars and other instruments, but just enough to get an 8.5/10.
A nice sounding album with obviously a lot of emotion behind it, and some fun instrumentation. Over all, a nice 9/10.
This album uses some incredible samples and has some really good lyrics. A lot of the songs are really catchy and sound really good for their time. A 10/10 album.
A good RnB album with some great lyrics and vocal performances. The instrumentation too is great, with some nice sounding instrumentals. Overall, a 9/10.
Already listened to this and, separating art from the artist, as a debut project, is incredible for its diversity of beats with intricate samples, as well as its lyrical content tackling various themes. Overall, a great album, 10/10.
I had already listened to this album, but decided to relisten to it to more accurately convey my views, and honestly, I don't think it hit quite the same. I think its a nice album with some good songs and moments, but it just didn't quite land with me as it did. I still think it has some merit, so I'll give it a 9/10.
Already listened to it, incredible guitar playing from Hendrix on this album and just an overall insane sound. Nothing short of a masterpiece, 10/10.
Already listened to it, has some pretty cool sounding songs but fails to impress me as much as their other albums. Doesn't mean it's bad though. 7.5/10
Already listened, AND own it physically so you just KNOW this is a great album. Insane production all around, with some real emotional value as well, topped of with some of the best songs known to man. I believe that this is Radiohead's best album, and deserving of a 10/10.
