Truly wasn’t expecting that. So many styles mashed together but everything fits, impeccable vocals and everything

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

The Bones Of What You Believe

CHVRCHES

4/5

Loved the synthesizer instrumentation. Overall style (and vocal style in particular) wasn’t my cup of tea before but it grew on me a fair bit in this album.

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

A classic for a reason! Even the tracks that didn’t get radio play and I wasn’t too familiar with were blowing me away. Can’t believe I haven’t listened to it closer

Moon Safari

Air

Janelle Monáe

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

The crowd added a lot of energy, but the recording definitely suffered from it. Tough mix at a lot of points. Still very enjoyable listen though

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Great moody vibes. Another one where I knew twice as many songs as I expected from the song titles alone

Stephen Stills

4/5

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

3/5

Some really good stuff but I did have to pause for a while halfway through because it got a little grating. Was very excited to finish it off though once I was in the mood again

The Undertones

2/5

Fast and tight and pretty well mixed but not my cup of tea

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

D.O.A. the Third and Final Report of Throbbing Gristle

Throbbing Gristle

3/5

Liked it a lot more than I was expecting based on the other reviews! I’m into the early electronic stuff that pops up, and some of the voice clip/ambient stuff reminds me of GY!BE which I dig. Hard to rate an experimental thing like this with other more classically structured music though

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

3/5

This was my first listen but I’ve been aware of the album in pop culture for a long time, and I think higher expectations brought it down a bit (complete opposite of yesterday with D.O.A. where expectations were very low and I was pleasantly surprised). Still a solid enjoyable listen though

Atomizer

Big Black

3/5

The Specials

3/5

C'est Chic

CHIC

5/5

This one hit just right. Usually the slow jams on all these funk/disco albums of this era don’t hit quite right for me but even the ballads here were hitting the spot

Deloused in the Comatorium

The Mars Volta

2/5

Live Through This

Hole

4/5

Angery

4/5

Sometimes the inability to sing doesn’t hold you back

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Rattus Norvegicus

The Stranglers

4/5

I’ve never been a huge fan of this British punk style with the singer doing that kinda lazy drawl, but turns out the drawl wasn’t the problem. Loved the other musicianship, I think this is my favourite I’ve heard of this genre

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

3/5

Nice listen, love how they get right in and out with 12 songs packed into 31 minutes. I am a cowboy now

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

Big highs and lows, I thought the Cisco kid and some of the faster ones were exceptional but some of the slow ones were a real slog

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

HOMETOWN HERO

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

Automatic For The People

R.E.M.

4/5

Definitely Maybe

Oasis

2/5

I think I’ve given them a fair shake but just can’t get into it, his voice in particular displeases me. Also maybe hard to separate the music from how much I’m aware of their personalities

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Catch A Fire

Bob Marley & The Wailers
