Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Upon listening again, I thought most about Merry Clayton singing the backing vocal on 'Gimme Shelter'. Best part of the album; highly encourage everyone watch '20 Feet From Stardom' for an extended anecdote on her recording performance. You also get to hear the isolated vocals. Wild stuff. And an absolutely legendary performance. Stones stuff is coo enough too, I guess.

Scissor Sisters

5/5

Incredible. This is why you play the game. Enjoyable from start to finish. So many good ideas.

The Yes Album

Yes

2/5

So wanky. Impressive wanking, however.

Garbage

4/5

Incredible. Guitars sound great; voice sounds great... some cringe-y lyrics at times, but not enough to detract from the overall experience.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

Technically proficient; not for me.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

4/5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

4/5

Classic for a reason.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

3/5

Game, blouses.

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Listened to many punk bands back in the day; this was never one of them. Some cool riffs and melodies; doesn't feel seminal. Hence 3 stars.

Djam Leelii

Baaba Maal

5/5

Bert Jansch

4/5

Lovely on a rainy day.

Zombie

Fela Kuti

5/5

Banger.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

5/5

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

GREY Area

Little Simz

5/5

Best rapper in the game.

Back to Mystery City

Hanoi Rocks

3/5

War

4/5

Much better than I ever gave U2 credit for; however, still some clangers/filler tracks alongside some real gems.

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

4/5

Sort of 'one note' in terms of execution... like, every song sounds like it could be one song - extending into various other sections, rather than, say, a whole lot of new tones/textures/vocal stylings per track.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

3/5

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

4/5

Really quite pleasant. I was listening to it just after my roommate put on a Guided by Voices LP. Guy from Elbow has a similar timbre as GBV guy, but dang, Elbow had way cooler textures and instrumentals throughout.

Document

R.E.M.

3/5

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

I'm a hater. Too soft.

Dirty

Sonic Youth

3/5

A lot of highs and lows with this one. Moments of greatness; moments of clangers and clunky lyrics... one song, 'Youth Against Fascism', I looked up on genuis.com just for fun - and saw this exchange: AriannaHiggins 7 years ago the revolution is coming, comrades. courtesan 3 days ago 7 years later, still waiting on that revolution…comrades

Killing Joke

3/5

Cool and pleasingly dark.

Devotional Songs

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

5/5

Incredible. Sick melodies, stoniest licks... 5/5 all day.
