4/5

I liked this album. Sound was good, songs were varied and interesting. If there was a fault for me it was wins voice. Just feels like a stronger voice would level it up.

Terrible. This, kids, is a lesson. Don't take drugs and read Tolkin and record t the same time. Music was Meh, Lyrics were primary school level.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

Ok, feels like there is just too much going on at times and its for the negative.

Alien Lanes

Guided By Voices

3/5

It had moments, but it felt like they just rushed to get stuff recorded rather than work though building the quality of those good moments, that could have been great.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

5/5

I'd never listended to this album in full. I do like the Bowie and mostly I've like what ive I've listened to. Know the singles, so was pretty sure I'd like this album. It was better than expected. Fantastic! Excellent album.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

I liked this album. Sound was good, songs were varied and interesting. If there was a fault for me it was wins voice. Just feels like a stronger voice would level it up.

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

4/5

Just good, loud, simple rock. Mutt langes production is great. Sounds drag and clean still now.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

This was actually a pretty amazing album. I don't have a history with country music. First listen: this is ok, but why is the first song reprised twice later in. Bit of research and a deeper listen the 2nd and 3d time and wowee, it all makes sense.

Let Love Rule

Lenny Kravitz

3/5

So I read he was in a Prince cover band. Could never tell... It's a solid album. Impressive as it's his first, and he played most of the instruments and produced it (again prince like). Feel like he's trying to overdo the vocals at times. Lyrics a little wishy washy.

Abraxas

Santana

3/5

São Paulo Confessions

Suba

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

Chore of Enchantment

Giant Sand

2/5

Didn't click with me. Reminded me a little of Mark Every, but i just couldnt find the hooks that grabbed me.

In Our Heads

Hot Chip

3/5

Hail To the Thief

Radiohead

3/5

Raadiohead are amazing. This is not their finest work though. Some great moments, but for me most miss the mark.

Bluesbreakers

John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

4/5

Drunk

Thundercat

3/5

Pretty good. The Kendrick track is a standout for me.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

Holy moly. This is amazing! Never listened to an album of Nina Simone, but know the popular songs. Her voice is phenomenal. Reportable this is a bit of a outakes/b side type album and It does though feel like it a bit.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

It's a hot mess! There's clearly an abundance of talent but Frank really needed a mate to tell him to quality not quantity. Given he put out 3 albums in 1969, I'm of the belief that could have been one, and a mighty good one it could have been.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

3/5

Never heard of this one. Theres some great moments. Getting nick Cave, tom waits vibes. Album on Spotify is not the album, has about 6 extra songs on the end. Not for the betterment of the album either. It feels a bit unfinished, which made sense when I read it was apparently demos, not properly finished songs.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

4/5

I found the funk.

Groovin'

The Young Rascals

3/5

Didn't think I knew this band and the cover art didn't have me looking forward to hitting play. Turns out my fears were unfounded. Definitly know a few of the songs and they're solid. The whole album is solid. Welcome suprise.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

So there are a few great songs and unsurprisingly they are hits, but theres a fair bit of filler too. ABBA are definitely a band that deserve to added to, say a 1001 artists you must listen to, but I don't think this album really deserves it.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

2/5

Meh, There's a few Nickcave song I know and a couple of them I like. Into your arms is excellent!, but sadly the rest of the album just kind of feel limp to me. I dint think his lyrics and voice are enough to carry the minimalist approach to the overall songs.

The Velvet Underground

5/5

I loved this

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

4/5

Great production. Probably a bit long. A couple less of the weaker songs and it would a excellent album.

Close To The Edge

Yes

3/5

Yeah, nah... Just too much.

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul
