Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

4/5

Loved the groove and the percussion is amazing. Such a nice intro definitely my jam. Free-form guitar is the only skip ouch my ears. Would've been a 5 if not for that

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

Took some warming up to. Such a nice niche vibe of soulful lyrics and calm composition. Sleek 70s soul sound

The Cars

5/5

Big hits and when its not a big hit its a big vibe. Love the fun energy, not afraid of some groove and some silliness. Can't fault it

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

What a sound. Guitar ranges from incredibly powerful to sincere and sweet. Each song has a passion to it. Highly recomend

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

As always first listen not as good as the last. Big sound, very bluesy, very guitary. Very good if love the guitar Great blues rock performance

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

2/5

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

1/5

Absolute incoherence. Could not get into it no matter how hard it tried. Sometimes it would start to feel good and then fuck it up New wave can stay where it belongs

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

4/5

Not offensive and not jump out of your seat and jam. Just well balanced pleasing music with the country vibes. Crazy lyrics this guy is looney.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Another nice peaceful album with a very strong hit with clocks Never lost itself just stuck to its guns. Very well produced with the strings and all instrumentation involved imo but not super fun jump out of your seat so keeping it at 4

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

Great production very charismatic can see why its popular. Some make feel cool some sad some disgusted what a roller-coaster. Not all what im looking for in music but can appreciate the production

Close To The Edge

Yes

4/5

Prog Rock has so much charm and minimal upsets. High highs and few mids sounds pretty good to me

The White Room

The KLF

2/5

Just nothing to it

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

4/5

Very creative yse of layering makes some interesting songs particularly at the start Very heartfelt which brings it up but brought back down by some songs being just noise although I guess thats what they were going for. Enjoyable!

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Didn't realise what was going on till halfway through definitely needs multiple listens. Movie in song form pretty interesting and obviously know it as influential. Because of its importance and how it tells a great story got to give it 5

Licensed To Ill

Beastie Boys

4/5

What a beat wow rap rock certainly had its time. Lots of anger and passion and fun. An experience I liked

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

5/5

So pleasant and nice the whole way through. Then the alternate leads come through and bring it all together with something different. High 4 rounding up to 5 because no faults

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

4/5

Needed a second listen for me but once if clicked wow. I don't think I've ever heard so much pain and sadness and anger all at once before. Very powerful with everything clicking into place just right nothing is overdone. Other than being a total bummer this is a great album so a 4

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Punchy and moody punk love it. Almost gives teen Jesus and the jean teasers vibes but 50 years early. Finally good ot hear female vocals . Firm 4 could be a 5 with at least one hit

Mothership Connection

Parliament

4/5

Funky as. Very fun love the vibes. Can be repetitive but the keys send me. Can't give a 5 because I know parliament do better but this is a classic funk for me

Music From Big Pink

The Band

3/5

The weight is the best out of here. Nothing to griping for me

I Should Coco

Supergrass

5/5

This one is full of fun and energy. Good sound and diversity and it doesn't fall off. Alright is such a fun one

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Good vibes with the titular track but nothing to super duper grip me. Sounds ahead of its time and I like the use of jazz elements instead of blues. On review, this is actually really good and unique I think its worth a listen.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

2/5

-1 from 3 for being Nazi. Starts strong but meanders and loses impact.

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

3/5

Good to give it a go and crikey how they even play the vibraphone like that is a mystery. But really have to lock in to enjoy it otherwise it just passes by

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

2/5

I mean it's fine but I does not have ANYTHING special for me. I'd rather play anything else with character

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

2/5

Elephant

The White Stripes

5/5

Diverse rock love the electrical piano which pokes its head through every now and again. For a rock fan this is a 5 theres bluesy to cool punk to even a little ballad. Fun and diverse

In It For The Money

Supergrass

4/5

Good music, but not as good as their debut. Love the horns in this one

Tellin’ Stories

The Charlatans

4/5

Good sound only gets better as the album goes on. I like the organ and looking at the band I think they have more keyboard in earlier album. Definitely something to sus.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Actually pretty diverse but once they get into their grungy stuff its a bit tragically bad. I think i have to round to a 3 though because their range is pretty creative

Idlewild

Everything But The Girl

3/5

Great start. Its very peaceful I like the style but needs attention to be valued. The group seems crazy though with a very long career and changes in sounds definitely one to sus out more
