Django Django

3/5

Quite a fun, funky album with interesting harmonies but repetitive with no standout tracks.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

Fist through and through listen of the Smiths, and despite trying to cast aside my conscious and unconscious biases about Morrisey, I find his dreary yodelling too much to bear. Can't knock Marr and the rest, but fuck me - it is like trying to eat a potentially nice sandwich in the rain.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

A little bit boring and dreary - like Dylan on valium. Don't hate it though but maybe just wasn't the right album to fit my mood today.

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Pretty good. Some funky tunes, first album experience. Weirdly sounds like someone doing an impression of Bowie its so Bowie.

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

3/5

Pretty good, a couple of drony 8 min tunes but supplemented by more upbeat classics.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

4/5

Crunchy and glorious

The Next Day

David Bowie

4/5

This is actually a good listen which went under my radar at the time. Probably because it was after 2004 and I had bagged a wife by then.

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

3/5

As an adolescence staple I thought I'd enjoy this more than I did. Many Men, Patiently Waiting and a couple of other bangers stand out but otherwise a tiiiiny bit pedestrian and lacks the depth of being an absolute classic.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

2/5

I actually found this quite boring. Her lilting haunting hooting almost sent me to sleep a few times. Not ideal when driving. Nothing Compares 2 U is a tuuuuuune though.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

3/5

Dr. Octagonecologyst

Band On The Run

Paul McCartney and Wings

3/5

Pretty fun.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

5/5

Luckily the later crazy Ye doesn't filter through to this absolute banger. So many forgotten classics, Slow Jamz etc. maybe 5 is a stretch but quality production, wordsmithing etc. love it.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

Still an amazing album, but a step down from college dropout. He's a lunatic and tragic waste of talent.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

2/5

Big ball of noise. I can appreciate the talent but it wasn't what I wanted or needed today. Would be a 1 star based on my enjoyment of it, but maybe with the right lens and frame of mind I would view it differently but honestly I couldn't wait for it to end but gave it another star just so it wouldn't stink up my dashboard. Just when I thought it would the last song is nearly bloody 20 mins long.

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Pretty good post punk type noise, but one song just kind of blends into the other.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Queens of the Stone Age

4/5

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

5/5

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

5/5

Reign In Blood

Slayer

2/5

Opening riffs are quite good, then descends into a song being played on double speed. Angel of Death is super weird. Drumming is insane. Musically very gifted but pointed at the wrong direction for my tastes (today)

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

3/5

NIce background music m8

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

5/5

Absolutely brilliant. Loved every bit of it. Some old school swing an ting

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

3/5

Pretty enjoyable
