The Score

Fugees

3/5

Generally not to my taste but a really good album. Witty and insightful writing, that still feels relevant today. High lights were: Zealots, Fu-Gee-La, The Score and The Mask. 3/5

The Specials

4/5

Never really gave ska a real go for finding it too tedious, and I did find this tedious towards the end but I can appreciate it still. This album in the first instance is very listenable and makes you want to move. The tracks flow and bounce off each other in a theatrical way. Felt like I was simultaneously on a beach in Jamaica and also in a dusty back alley somewhere in London. Unconventional and triumphant. My highlights were: A Message To You Rudy, Doesn't Make It Alright, Monkey Man, Too Much Too Young and Little Bitch. 4/5

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

4/5

I'm already a huge fan of The Smiths but this is probably my least listened to album. My highlights were: Death of a Disco Dancer, Heard This One Before and Last Night I Dreamt. Great album of course but I think there are better smith albums. 4/5

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

5/5

I've never listened to LCD before, I assumed it was of a completely different genre. In this album I hear an amalgamation of some of my favourite artists, past and present. I hear Talking heads to Pavement, to Geese, Alex G and a ton of others. I can see how this was a foundational album to the hipster/indie 2010s wave that came during shortly after. My Highlights were: Someone Great and New York, I Love You (this made it onto my greatest songs of all time playlist)

Machine Head

Deep Purple

1/5

Good grief, this was a painfull listen.

Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

The production on this album is really beautiful. So smooth! Vocals are like melted butter, I could listen to this all day. My highlights were: Pusherman, Think.

Penance Soiree

The Icarus Line

1/5

I wanted to like this but I just didn't. If I wanted to listen to this genre, there are other bands/albums I would reach for first. The whole album just blended into one long, loud, wine. I liked Spike Island but that's about it.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

I'm already a fan of Smashing Pumpkins so this was a very easy listen for me. Not my fave by them but a great album none the less. Billy Morgan's voice is Wonderfull and has the right amount of tenderness to create depth. This album sounds like Halloween.
