Fly Or Die

N.E.R.D

3/5

Fuses a lot of styles, funky bass lines, classic Pharrell guitar hooks, seen later in Daft Punks last album. It does remind me of how every song sounded in the early 2000s.

Sea Change

Beck

3/5

Paper tiger has Radiohead vibes with the dramatic violins Lonesome tears outro was cool in a kind of drifting in space way. It's a very mellow album with some interesting sections in the tracks. I particularly enjoyed the textures and production on Sunday Sun

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

4/5

Feels more considered song writing, McCartney and Lennon maturing as writers

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

1/5

Some recognisable classics but it's quite dull

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Sounds like a great show to have been at!

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Better than I was expecting, as I'm not a fan of his Billie's vocal

Funeral

Arcade Fire

5/5

The textures and genre blending on this album are so refreshing and still sounds great 20 years later Rebellion (Lies) is incredible as a piece of song writing

4/5

I didn't expect to like this, but it's great!

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

I knew this was a classic album but I've never listened to it. Wow. Every song is either a great 4 minute rock song or has an outro if pure self indulgence

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

5/5

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

4/5

Really interesting blend of styles, with ska, 80s glam rock and a dash of early 90s Manchester bands

Ray Of Light

Madonna

3/5

Some great songs and William Orbit's production shines through, but there are some filler tracks on here that are very forgettable. I remembered this album being better!

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

Never heard this before. Can see so much modern music influenced by this style of grunge with riffs and talking vocal

Brothers In Arms

Dust

The use of samples set a new precedent for dance music, and brought it to the masses. This creates a depth to the tracks that make them super interesting to listen to!
