A lot of tunes here that remind me of being younger which is always nice.

Feel like I'm so close to enjoying a lot of these songs, it's like I have an itch to scratch and these songs are almost doing the job but not quite, very unsatisfying.

Takes me on such a journey, just really immerses me in the album.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

Great listen, a lot of fun with some really moving tracks thrown in.

Just didn't gel with the album. Like an awkward first date, the chemistry isn't there, and without the chemistry nothing sexy is going to happen.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

1/5

It's just a lot and absolutely nothing all at once.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

Steve Winwood

1/5

This couldn't be further from a win, and I wood like never to listen again

Enjoying more than I thought, especially since ever song is approximately 7 hours long. Can see why people love pink Floyd! Kinda crazy that I've slept on pink Floyd for so long.

2/5

London calling what a song but I really did get bored of the rest of the album pretty quick.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

1/5

Beep boop, it's crap

4/5

Some of my favourite songs of all time on this album, but I think it's just slightly too long, a few songs that I didn't get along with. But mostly an amazing listen.

Adele

3/5

You know what I do love Adele but this is not my favourite album.

Among The Living

Anthrax

2/5

I won't lie only listened to a couple of songs and then turned off.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

This album completely drifted into the background for me, nothing particularly special about it. I'm not part of the fanclub and I refuse to jump on the bandwagon.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

3/5

Night Life

Ray Price

4/5

Great little album, really matched a laid back Saturday vibe, I was hungover. But this worked nicely for my walk in the rain.

Shadowland

k.d. lang

It's a fine listen, just slightly forgettable.

Channel Orange
