This album aint for me This album aint for me As anyone can plainly see This old album aint for me

I never liked Jay Kay so as a 1st album in this project I thought- oh dear. Put the album on and was surprised how good it was. I’m giving it a 3 but it probably deserves a 4 and I am marking it down just because of past prejudice.

2/1001 Quite different from what i usually listen to. I read a bit about the album before i listened to it. Fela Kuti had something to do with the Talking Heads album Remain in the light which I really like and I have recently been listening to Creams White Room. As a result I was interested to see what this album was about. I really liked it, from the opening bars that made me think of Oceans eleven to the 14 minute drum solo at the end - great stuff. This will be getting another listen in the future.

I’m a big fan of the early Morrisey solo albums so I really don’t know why I have never listened to any Smiths albums other than probably a best of the Smiths album. Very good album and I knew more songs than I thought I would from looking at the titles.

I don’t think I know any AIC songs. For a first listen knowing nothing of them I quite liked it. I think on a few repeat listens this would make it to 5 but the tradegy of this project is you move on to the next album without having the chance to really get to know an album that is totally new to you.

Nearly a week into this and i have realised there are going to be a lot of good albums on here. I think i need to adjust my marking system otherwise I will end up with about 700 5/5 albums. So my revised marking system will be based on: 5 = Top notch, I will come back to this album again and again. 4 = Still really good, fair chance of repeat listening and has the potential to become a 5. 3 = Good album, probably 2 or 3 really good tracks but can’t see myself playing this again. 2 = Made it to the end of the album, didn’t hate it. 1 = Make it stop. Not sure if I can go back and revise my previous scores. Also decided to start a playlist and add 1 song from each album to the playlist. I haven’t decided yet if I will add a song if the album scores less than a 3. I guess we will find out when a low scoring album comes along. Onto this album. It’s close to a 4 but with my tougher marking system it is going to get a 3. Added Get Up to the playlist.

Even the songs i already knew did not really grab me.

Thought I would like this way more than i did. Added too young to my playlist. I will see if it grows on me a bit more.

I have to say the I much prefer the Morrissey albums from the 2000s. Added them more you ignore me to playlist.

Well that was a slow album with no highlights.

Added last nite to playlist. Was good. A lot of songs felt quite familiar.

I had never heard of them before but enjoyed the album. What is that wibbly noise.

My brother had this album so i knew it very well. I enjoyed listening to it again. It always amused me the 10second songs to keep you updated on the story line. I bought the soundtrack track album from a 2nd hand record store recently but definitely prefer the original album.
