Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

3/5

Some killer tracks, a lot of filler. It starts incredibly strongly but is dragged down with the folly elements and feels a mess. The second half for the album is weak, in my opinion, songs 5, 6, and 7 just dull.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

2/5

It's not got anything that really catches and holds my attention. I can hear the influence it's had on popular English music, but that alone doesn't interest me.

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

4/5

Good eclectic mix of samples, lots of shouting vocals and funky riffs. Some good humour, this was a lot more enjoyable than expected. I'd never heard this stuff at all, and will be listening again and possibly deep diving into more of their material properly

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

3/5

Loads of relaxing, slow paced tunes. So much room in the mix for things to breath it's beautiful. It always feels weird listening to music like this without vocals, it's more background music or a soundtrack to life rather than something I can see me cranking on the good stereo for a focussed listen

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard

1/5

Like a poor man's Johnny Cash.

Medúlla

Björk

2/5

Odd for odd sake.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

2/5

Very poorly mixed, some odd stuff going on that isn't really working for me. Vocals strained. Instruments are really lacking in power and it never really gets going.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

2/5

It's funky, sure, but has it aged well - no. It doesn't have as many hooks as some other music of this genre for me to get my toe tapping. Middle of the road.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

2/5

Bloody dull. Sorry.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

3/5

Sprightly, shame the cussing is bleeped as I feel it will be more authentic. The man had some attitude and front on him, fun to hear.

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

So good, this is really enjoyable stuff. After Johnny Cash, this is right up there but higher standard of music underpinning the lyrics. Even better singing than Cash.

Cypress Hill

3/5

It was alright, I prefer Sublime if I'm going to listen to this type of music

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

Sweeping vocals, punchy and fun. They don't make them like this anymore

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

Very wishy washy. It had no bite, lacked fun too.

Kimono My House
