Group Sex

Circle Jerks

4/5

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into group sex, but I enjoyed it. I’d definitely come back to it if I needed a burst of energy.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Every song on here is great! My one critique would be that I wish it felt slightly more like an album rather than a collection of songs, but those songs were still good enough to put this at five.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen

The Residents

1/5

Went to see how many tracks were left and was devastated to see I was only half way through. This is the first album I’ve been generated… Liked the last track though

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

I liked it but wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to it again

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Was really nice to come home from work and chill to this

Physical Graffiti

Led Zeppelin

2/5

Felt like the songs were missing something, not for me

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

4/5

Took a couple tracks to get into it but it was fun, although there is admittedly a lack of variety, and I enjoyed it

OK Computer

Radiohead

3/5

Radiohead has always been one of those bands I pretended to love because of friends who really loved them. However I am now coming out: I never cared for Radiohead. There’s nothing technically wrong with their music but I never connected with it. I like Electioneering, but apparently that’s the odd one out on this album so… It’s alright but I’ve never listened to this for myself, and I will continue not to do so.

White Denim

5/5

I’d never heard of them at all, but I’m inclined to give this 5 stars. There was not a single second I was bored or not enjoying it. I really like the way this sounds. I definitely want to explore more of their discography.

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Not that familiar with David Bowie beyond his most popular; I didn’t know he could chill like that. Vibes, relaxing.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

From the album cover alone I knew this was going to be something good and then I started reading about it. I might not have rated the music as highly without the context (I still really liked it, it would have been at least a 4 anyway), but I do think who an artist is can make the music more interesting. Anyway this is my review so I get to give it 5 stars

Beautiful Freak

Eels

4/5

For the first minute, I thought it was going to be a quite dull album for people who want to pretend they’re super indie and niche, but then it picked up. This is good, and I will definitely like it more after a few more listens. That said, I did find Mental a bit poorly written. A bit cringe. Sorry to anyone who relates to that one but it was way too surface level to work for me.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

2/5

I don’t have the music vocabulary to describe this properly, but it felt like a lot of the instruments blended together in a way that made it feel flat. That’s something I really don’t like in music for whatever reason.

A Nod Is As Good As A Wink To A Blind Horse

Faces

3/5

I enjoyed it but it wouldn’t go in my regular rotation. I’d maybe like to hear it again from time to time.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

First half was okay, second half was incredible

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

4/5

All the songs on here were great, but I don’t feel passionate enough about it to give it a 5. That said, I will be coming back to this in the summer, which feels more appropriate for it than a soggy December, and that might bump it up to five for me.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

5/5

I was hoping this would be good because of that album cover, and it was. And it sometimes sounded like robots!

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

4/5

I wasn’t sure what to expect going into group sex, but I enjoyed it. I’d definitely come back to it if I needed a burst of energy.

Ace of Spades

Motörhead

3/5

I loved the instruments but the vocals weren’t really my style. It did feel slightly repetitive in my opinion.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

2/5

I liked this more than Physical Graffiti but I really don’t think they’re a band for me.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Every song on here is great! My one critique would be that I wish it felt slightly more like an album rather than a collection of songs, but those songs were still good enough to put this at five.

Bright Flight

Silver Jews

3/5

I had a few ideas about what this could sound like based on the cover, and the moment the vocals started I realised I was completely wrong. There were some good songs on here, but the album as a whole wasn’t super interesting and it didn’t inspire me to want to explore the rest of the band’s discography.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

3/5

Even when you manage to dodge her for most of December, the universe invents new, twisted ways for her to get you. It was good at first but it gets quite samey. The tracks would probably sound better listened to one at a time, but together they blend together a bit. I might listen to a track or two again at some point, but probably not the album as a whole.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

It felt like I was forgetting the songs as I was hearing them.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

I was enjoying it at first but it started to get a bit boring. I’m sure this is great if played at the right event though. Although Praise You has been ruined for me. I immediately thought I had gotten an advert before realising it was the actual song.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

4/5

The first few tracks on this were brilliant. There’s a lot of energy on this album which I enjoy. I will say the second half was a bit weaker though.
