Solid rap album with jazzy production. Better in second half
Generic 80s soft rock album.
Solid 80s classic with several great songs. ‘Mother’ is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard, and is completely jarring with the rest of the album.
One of the greatest British albums of the 90s that still sounds just as good today. Not a truly bad song on it. 5/5
Grand ambitious record that’s deeper than its big hit. Some excellent guitar work (particularly In the Flesh and Run Like Hell) and generally a decent experimental album.
Hard rocking experimental album but wouldn’t listen to any of the songs on their own.
Great blues album with jazzy influences. Varied musical styles between songs keep the album from becoming stale. Especially strong from its middle on.
Solid enough acoustic album. Very simple musically and reminds me a lot of Tracy Chapman. Songs are a bit samey
Interesting album with an almost otherworldly feel about it. The high singing and heavy use of strings give it a very unique sound. Not to my tastes but I’m sure some people would love it.
Decent jazzy album but struggles from a lack of variety.
A solid debut album with a surprising amount of variety by the immortal pioneer of rock and roll.
Melancholic acoustic album that doesn’t overstay its welcome. Very stripped back that works well for a solid enough album.
Decent jazz album but not to my tastes
Good wee calming album. Lowkey and understated without becoming forgettable
Great modern rock album with bluesy influences
Good folk rock album with a surprising amount of variety. Maybe a bit too long
Bland and forgettable compared to some of their brilliant earlier albums. Credit to them for trying different musical styles on the album but ultimately doesn’t produce a great or even memorable record
Very 80s soft pop album with a jazzy twist. Decent overall, but Carlos Sainz is better at singing Smooth Operator
One of the first punk rock albums that still holds up today. Best track is Judy is a punk but ultimately the whole album is easy to listen to and most songs are not that different to one other.
Slightly protentious acoustic album which has operatic and jazzy influences
Nirvana’s last album that picks up where Nevermind left off and then some. Louder guitars, angrier lyrics, and more of cobain Screaming. Very ape and all apologies my favourite tracks (and some of the least grungey).
Okay rock blues album. Nothing special
Great classic rock album. Babe I’m Gonna Leave You the best track, but the album flies by despite the length of its songs
Another great classic rock album. Best tracks Red White and Blue and Living After Midnight
Decent East Coast rap album. Easy to listen to but probably only worth listening to the album as a whole.
Ok rock album. Some great guitar riffs but is ultimately forgottable
Just a bit slow, boring and repetitive. Can’t hold a candle to his work with the Smiths
Expected to enjoy it more than I did. Maybe leans a bit too much into the pop of britpop. A few great songs, but too much forgettable filler.
OK man and a panio album. A bit samey and longer than it needs to be.
Overall a pretty good album. Surprisingly varied and experimental in a world that hadn’t yet acclaimed Sgt Pepper and psychedelia in popular music. While there are no standout tracks, none of the songs are duds either, making for a very enjoyable listen.
An excellent Christmas album. Almost all of the Ronnettes’ and Darlene Love’s contributions are brilliant and Sleigh Ride and Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) are among the greatest Christmas songs
