Great album. This is my go to Bowie album has lots of hits. Would like to give it 4.5 but the rating doesn’t work like that so gave it 5 because 4 is too harsh it’s better then a 4

Water From An Ancient Well

Struggled rating this one. I like lorde as an artist, Great opener with green light but not very many songs after which stood out and made me remember them 3 is a bit harsh 3.5 but couldn’t give it a 4. I would go back and listen to it one again in the future though so maybe it is a 4 star. Who knows not me?!

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Feel really harsh with this one. But it was half 5 in the morning. I was tired trying to bike to work His fucked up voice did it for me. You take this album with good vocals or someone else singing it I could see it been a decent album I probably won’t go back to it anymore

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Was gonna give this album a very low rating. At first was just noise and shouting but thought I was being a bit harsh. So went back gave it a 2nd listen and got to say I enjoyed it more. Maybe this albums a grower Some of his vocals reminded me of Kurt Cobain a bit

4/5

A hip hop classic

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

Wasn’t sure on this album at first. Just sounded like every other 90s dance music but on 2nd listen I got to say I enjoyed it more. It’s certainly a grower. Not saying it’s amazing or anything but would definitely listen to it again

Never in my years did I think I’d be listening to Cyndi Lauper but here we are. Her hits girls just wanna have fun and time after time are great but after that there wasn’t any that stood out as much very bang average. Might be good if your into that stuff but not for me

Maggot Brain

Funkadelic

3/5

First song starts good but is a bit to long. Couple after are good then if falls off during the end Can’t give it a 5 just because it’s funkadelic and don’t think it is a 4 either high end 3 teetering on a 4 Will upset a few people I know, deal with it
