The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Somehow I'd never listened to this in full before but it is extremely up my alley. I'm only a quarter into the album and it's already 5 stars for me.

Welcome to the Afterfuture

Mike Ladd

3/5

The mix of spoken word poetry and the clever turns of phrase kept me engaged. There were some really impressive tracks but on the whole it didn’t really hook me and don’t think I will be listening to this album again.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

4/5

I had heard some of their earlier stuff but this was the first time listening to this album. I really enjoyed it, I can foresee putting this on when I need something chill to listen to when focusing on work. Very dreamy, very vibey.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

1/5

This album was the perfect reminder of why I hate listening to jazz.

Peter Gabriel

5/5

PG is my main music guy so I will happily listen to this again for the millionth time with fresh ears but the versatility! The range and power of his voice! The Kate Bush! Peter Gabriel is a genius and this album is his thesis statement (and it’s not even my favourite of his work).

The Joshua Tree

3/5

This was … fine. I still get emotional hearing With or Without You because it reminds me of the brilliant finale of The Americans but otherwise this album was basically just background noise to me.

The Man Machine

Kraftwerk

3/5

This is firmly Not For Me but I understand why other people vibe with it.

Strange Cargo III

William Orbit

2/5

I did not enjoy this at all but it feels unfair to give it 1 star so I’m grudgingly rounding up to 2 because it’s not bad, it’s just very much not for me

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

Listening to this while squinting at a computer screen trying to focus on my work made me feel like a dollar store version of Carrie Mathison from Homeland (complimentary)

The Wall

Pink Floyd

5/5

Somehow I'd never listened to this in full before but it is extremely up my alley. I'm only a quarter into the album and it's already 5 stars for me.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

This is another solidly Not For Me album, but I can appreciate the artistry behind it and why other people like it. I can't believe I enjoyed an Iron Maiden album more than Herbie Hancock (never again) but life is a rich tapestry, I guess.

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

Having only heard the higher profile singles from this album, I enjoyed getting to listen to every track all the way through. Certainly captures my mood given the way 2025 keeps 2025ing in newly creative and horrible ways.

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

2/5

This is solidly … fine … but I will stick to Duran Duran for my 80s synth pop needs.

Kala

M.I.A.

3/5

I tried to go in with an open mind but the Qanonsense she's been spewing the past few years really made it difficult to finish listening. I'll give what I did hear a solid 3.5/4 (other than paper planes which gets a 5 by default because it has reached icon status)

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

There is an entire song about TV Dinners I cannot ever listen to this again!!!!
