5/5

I feel i have to give it 5 stars. Its more for its affect on me when i first heard it. It is too long. But in the right scenario its great .

american dream

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Fair enough. Few stand out tracks but far too long. Found the repetition of everything a bit tiresome after an hour. Sound of Sulver is better.

Here Come The Warm Jets

Brian Eno

4/5

Really liked it. Feared it would be too long, but the opposite was welcome. Can hear artists from the period in there, King Crimson, Bowie etc the good stuff from Roxy Music condensed. More i listened to it, more i appreciated it Suffered from the Poor sound quality at times. But if shouldnt be getting pissing 2's

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter

The Incredible String Band

2/5

Not my bag, but take it for what it is: campfire music. Wouldnt have the same effect sat watching TV at home or cooking an omelette I openly laughed out loud on Wind is The Swift which i dont think was the intent.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

FUNKY UP YOUR GENITALS.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

Actually benefits from rhe Live element. Personality and fan interactions add to the feel of the album I gave Little Richard 3, who i think may have benefitted from Live format too. Nice afternoon cheer up boogie album

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

David Bowie

5/5

Undoubted Classic. Takes you on dynamic journey, not predictable. Lesson on how to order and structure an album. Doesnt overstay its' welcome. Leaves you wanting more.

Water From An Ancient Well

Abdullah Ibrahim

3/5

Not in the know regarding Jazz. But i like the more up-tempo numbers on here. Can go about your day with this playing and have a bit of a finger click or Swing-ya-Pants from time to time. Dont feel like I can give it a 2.

Spiderland

Slint

3/5

Haunting simplicity. Delicate and Heavy Henry Rolinsy vibes. Without the arrogance. Washer and Good Morning Captain stand out.

Buena Vista Social Club

2/5

Although i found it enjoyable, I think that had more to do with the genre itself rather than anything this album did. Best served upside down in a car, in the water, on GTA San Andreas. Or at Revolution De Cuba in Sheff.

Melodrama

Lorde

3/5

Its ok. Green Light is a tune. I like the understated nature and simplicity. Hate the thing she does with her voice like Tom Grennan. e.g. Instead of saying 'for' says 'foi' Feels like its not foi me bit like Billie Eilish isnt. decent foiiii what it is though I suppose.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

3/5

I like grufty, but his voice here is often hard to listen to Opening song is great. Id give that a 4.5 the rest of the album gets a 3

Chicago Transit Authority

Chicago

2/5

Bit self indulgent. Enjoying smell of own farts too much. Quality musicianship. But too long for that reason. enjoyable at times. Same ballpark as Steely Dan. But Not as good Wont get a revisit

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

4/5

Enjoyed it. Felt like a collection of songs more than cohesive album, But liked it all the same. At the time bet it was major. Snappy songs. Always good. Could put it on anytime and it would enhance your omelette.

Aja

Steely Dan

5/5

An out of body experience. Didn't want to move on first listen, just tapped my foot and nodded my head. Sat mellowing in musical joy. No i'm not high, Sir. Wondrous.

The Downward Spiral

Nine Inch Nails

3/5

Going from Steely Dan to this was interesting. Assuredly grufty & up front. Beautifully unpleasant. Bit long. Coulda got rid of a couple I wouldnt eat your poached on toast with it. Give you indigestion.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Never really given Pyblic Enemy a proper listen. Only the odd thing here and there Bet it was massive at the time. Attitude for days. Didnt expect Flash fucking Gordon. Decent. I wouldnt eat your poached on toast to it but for different reasons. They might get swiped.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

3/5

Couldnt play it as intended: On a Friday night. Off your bonce. So that probably harmed it on 1st listen. Enjoyed its' 90s rave-ness and Groove on 2nd listen. Lyrically abysmal at times but Its a top tier example of what it is: 90's to its' core

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

Pleasant. Enjoyable enough. Could easily have it on in the background. Can sorta 'appreciate' why its so appreciated in the jazz sphere. Or whatever shape Jazz is. Cant give it too high a rating, caus im just flirting around the Cuboid of Jazz. Plain omelette.

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco

3/5

Was Alright. Understated, Beta Band ish. Required a 2nd listen. 'Im The Man who Loves You' onwards stood out. Ive listened to em before Couldnt remember much about em. Like you forgot youd made Eggs, went for a poo and you have to eat em cold

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

4/5

Knew I liked this album. N8ce revisiting it. Less predictable and less repetition for repeyitions sake than their orher one. Sounds great with earphones. Dippy egg.

The College Dropout

Kanye West

4/5

Remember liking it, not heard it in a while. His lyrics are still good on here Not skipping nothing. Even interludes.

Bubble And Scrape

Sebadoh

3/5

Clangy and meaty. Bitesize songs. Beef Jerky. Raw, unproduced feel, ok 1st and last songs are the best. Basically, youve got some unexplained meat with your eggs.

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

1/5

I dont even know if I listened to the right thing. Wjatever i listened to gave me a headache. For those reasons it's getting my first 1. Youve dropped your eggs on the floor before you could cook em.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

4/5

YyyYessss Please. Finger clickin' goodness Found myself strutting round my 'ouse... In a good way! Some sort of Extravagant fucking Quiche.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

5/5

Though i prefer Ziggy Stardust of the two. This is still an undoubted classic. It ramps up the dynamism and intrigue up to 100 Prefer the scaled back version of The Prettiest Star. good on earphones. Imagine being around when this came out. Itd blow yer mind.

Morrison Hotel

The Doors

3/5

Lyrics bland, music good. Like the mix of keyboards and guitar Better in headphones I cant say more than decent though. Standard boiled egg, nowt with it.

Elvis Presley

3/5

Had to have Mr. Presley in a music rundown. Never really got him, not really for me. Can appreciate at the time was probably major. Nice enough. Can boogaloo to it. Under half an hour which is nice. Wont be revisiting, mind.
