The Beach Boys

5/5

Just an absolute classic. Sloop John B is the standout for me on an album with multiple bangers and zero skips.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

All Ratings

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

5/5

Aguilera had pipes. I’d probably give 5 stars to an album of her just belting music scales for an hour. But this has fighter and beautiful on it, so definite 5.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

5/5

I’m a sucker for a simple old sound like this. Big Iron and El Paso are the bigger hits, but the rest of the album hits well for me.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

5/5

I think these guys are from California.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

I expected to not like this album as much as I do. But I guess there’s good reason for it to be called Radiohead’s magnum opus.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

4/5

Bohemian Rhapsody and a few more bangers, plus some lighthearted silliness, and we nearly have a 5 star album. But I cannot give 5 stars to an album with whatever the hell is going on in The Prophets Song.

Seventeen Seconds

The Cure

3/5

Easy listening, probably good study music. But it doesn’t really go anywhere. Maybe a 3.5, round to 3 for having a song titled “17 seconds” that lasts for 4 minutes.

Dookie

Green Day

5/5

Teehee, Dookie.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

It’s a beautiful album. Accomplishes a lot in only 28 minutes, some other artists could learn from that ability to keep it brief.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

5/5

Just an absolute classic. Sloop John B is the standout for me on an album with multiple bangers and zero skips.

Gorillaz

3/5

Clint Eastwood is great, but it’s the only standout on the album. I’d do a 3.5 if I could, but this ends up as a 3 because I honestly got a little bored of the album.

Blood And Chocolate

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Didn’t do much for me. Nothing terrible, but nothing that stood out as great either.

Garbage

3/5

It was ok. That’s all I have for it.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

I can almost hear the helicopters.

Slipknot

2/5

Pretty good except for 90% of the vocals.

Quiet Life

Japan

2/5

Kinda boring, don’t really know when I would want to listen to this. Give it 2 because nothing was great on it but I guess it didn’t make me physically ill.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

You don’t have to release an album if it’s not good.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

5/5

Oh, hello you very enjoyable album. I’ll be listening to this one some more.

Out of Step

Minor Threat

4/5

Worked for me. Not perfect but nowhere near bad either. Also merry Christmas if you’re like me and looking at this instead of talking to in-laws.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

1/5

Unnecessary shit. 1 star.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

PJ Harvey

2/5

I don’t understand why this is an album I need to listen to before I die. I’d have been fine without it.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Strange, troubled man. Good music though.

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

It’s a really good album, probably a 4.5 if we had that. There’s a bit too much jamming that gets into meandering, but overall this was an enjoyable listen. I also realize that I had only ever heard the radio edit of Grapevine and that song is super long.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

3/5

I don’t usually listen to jazz, and this album won’t change that habit. It’s just not for me.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Back to back jazz albums? Today was rough listening.

Henry's Dream

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

4/5

Liked the sound, found myself nodding along happily. Brother my cup is empty was the standout track for me.
