You can feel this man’s energy as soon as he hits the stage. Gives me the chills with how much soul he puts into his singing. Bops top to bottom.

3/5

It’s Christmas music, well made, good production, good vocals, Christmas music.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm

A Tribe Called Quest

4/5

A capsule of hip hop at the time, groovy and good lyricism.

Repeater

Fugazi

3/5

Honestly solid album, just sonically not for me. Powerful guitar and vocals.

Who Killed...... The Zutons?

The Zutons

5/5

Bop and a half. Never heard of this group before but they’re added to the rotation.

Bitches Brew

Miles Davis

Good background music but not something I’d put on to intentionally listen to it.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

4/5

Good background music jazz

New Forms

Roni Size

2/5

Sounds like most 90s/00s DnB and Jungle. Not terrible but nothing standout. Would make a great soundtrack for a PS2 game.

Done By The Forces Of Nature

Jungle Brothers

3/5

It is very much a product of its time and for me it doesn’t hold up well.

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

3/5

Songs were hit or miss, fairly middle of the road album for me.

Low-Life

New Order

4/5

Overall very good, only a few songs where the instrumentation just didn’t sit right with me. But definitely will listen to again.

Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire)

The Kinks

3/5

Mid for me. Good music but doesn’t move me.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I’ve never really been a big Bruce fan and this album did not change my mind. Plus some of the lyrics are a little sketch.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

I don’t know what the fuck is going on but these boys are spittin. Very good musicality on this album.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

I didn’t want to like it because I think the Beatles are so absurdly overrated but I can’t deny that this is a genuinely good album. Good songs and fun music throughout.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

3/5

Not bad, not great. Not for me.

Imagine

John Lennon

3/5

I don’t think John has the right vocal sound for the blues songs. Other songs are fine.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

4/5

I don’t know if Trent was the first to do it but he’s one of the best to.

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

Not my favorite listen. Some songs were okay but for me just a little to noisy and chaotic throughout.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Bangs but then falls off in the latter half of the album.

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

4/5

Grooves af

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

Frank Zappa as a person, 5/5. This Frank Zappa album, 3/5.

1989

Taylor Swift

4/5

Somehow there are songs on this album that I have managed to have not heard before. It’s what you would expect from a Taylor album. High quality production, mid lyrical content, pop music. Very few songs I would intentionally listen to, a couple more songs I wouldn’t skip if they came on. It’s tough to rate this one, personally I don’t like pop music but objectively it’s a well made album.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

5/5
