Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

4/5

Classic 80’s album. Great hits surrounded by songs offering something different. Solid album.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

1/5

At this time, the Doors have an identifiable style. This is a Doors album with nothing uniquely worth revisiting.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

From this era, If gives the vibe of the Strokes first album, but not every song is memorable. Fine listen.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

1/5

Every song outside of the 2 hits sounded the same and found myself looking forward to the songs ending.

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

2/5

Run to the Hills reminds me of my dad. But the rest of the album sounds similar with not a lot of variance.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

As far as live albums go, this was a fun one. Nothing memorable but enjoyable.

The Blueprint

JAY Z

4/5

The samples and lyrics are great. The whole album is a good listen.

Ramones

2/5

Does the guitarist only know one rift? Although the album has some good songs, it does not offer too much variety. It is a fast listen though.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

The flute. It’s a good easy listening album but not one I would go to often.

Chris

Christine and the Queens

2/5

The back half of this album offers more variety over generic pop. The French version is a better listen.

It's Blitz!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

2/5

The last few songs did drag a bit. The first half of the album is a good listen.

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

2/5

Good flow listen, but would not be something I would go to for casual listening.

Aftermath

The Rolling Stones

2/5

A song over 10 minutes? Mother’s little helper is a strong opening song but the rest of the album drags.

Ctrl

SZA

1/5

Not for me. Very similar songs, with identical beats with different lyrics.

Trio

Dolly Parton

2/5

Easy county listen with good harmonies, but no song is really a stand out.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

1/5

I’m sure people enjoy this. I do not.

Joan Armatrading

2/5

An easy listen which each song having a different feel and surprise sound. Although no stand out songs, the album as a whole is a good listen.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Songs all offer something different, however none are stand outs. A good listen for synth, 80s pop.

Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1

George Michael

2/5

Some gospel influence, and good lyrics. Cowboys and Angels is a good listen with every song offering something different. Although no songs out for me as a repeat listen, often the album as a whole is good.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

4/5

Overall good album. The middle does drag a bit with songs constructed very similarly. But a good and fast listen.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

2/5

For a grunge album, it was listenable for me. But not something I would revisit.

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

2/5

There is some interesting song, particularly 5-4=Unity that is a mix of indie rock and jazz. Although I will probably not revisit and good surprise listen.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

2/5

Interesting album. Felt like a long jam session, but nothing interesting enough for me to revisit.

1/5

Initially shocking. But not something I would listen to ever again.

3/5

Good overall album, with a few repeatable listen songs.

Easy listen. No standout songs

Palo Congo

Sabu

2/5

Quite different, had a good jazz and Latin blend. Good listen but nothing for me to come back to.

5/5

My nostalgia for this era probably made this rank higher, but the first 3/4 of this album is great, with the remaining still good listens.

For a live album, it was good. I do need to revisit it again.

It’s a cliche hair band metal rock album. It’s okay.
