Getz/Gilberto

Stan Getz

4/5

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Never really got into linkin park after my teenage angst days. But I alway preferred Minutes to Midnight. This album has surprised me a little, the lyrics are a bit corny but the album itself has held up really well musically. Lots of big hooks and great riffs. Jack 3/5 Ale 3/5

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Excellent live album, hit all the best bits of my favourite things about the blues, great solos and a band just having the time of their life

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

3/5

Very average, don't understand the hype around these guys at all, the 90s shout all the bars style rapping isn't my favourite

American IV: The Man Comes Around

Johnny Cash

5/5

One of my all time favourites from Johnny Cash

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

4/5

Excellent album, perfect length, some real bangers and a great unexpected choir to round it all off, only reason this hasn't hit 5 stars for me is it's a bit repetitive in style

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Some great highlights but so many dreary dull moments, I get that the harmonies are interesting but it's not a great album for me

Machine Head

Deep Purple

3/5

Great riffs, incredible drums but nothing that makes an impact, nothing lasting, aside from that one riff in smoke on the water there's nothing hugely memorable about this album for me

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

3/5

Iconic album with some great singles and honestly a lot more album tracks than I expected, very strong three for me, just doesn't quite hit home for me

Joan Baez

3/5

Very beautiful voice and lovely tracks, nothing I'll be relistening too I don't think

Songs In The Key Of Life

5/5

Another star easily my first unknown track that has caught me off guard and I've fallen in love with the music again Top tier album with so many unexpected amazing album tracks around the hit singles

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

Loved the album growing up, classic blues rock

The Genius Of Ray Charles

Ray Charles

3/5

I like Ray Charles but he was of his time and it doesn't resonate with me as much, still an iconic voice and style

Rocks

Aerosmith

2/5

Very forgettable for me, nothing that stands out, just run of the mill

Maverick A Strike

Finley Quaye

4/5

Queen

4/5

Blitzkrieg bop and a load of filler, iconic track but the album isn't great

Good song writing if a bit melodramatic, really enjoyed the final track, love is blindness

Just like every Travis album, well crafted but boring

1984

Van Halen

2/5

Too much gimmicky synth for my liking

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

3/5

Lovely bit of easy listening, can't say it made a huge impression on me but I enjoyed the music

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

3/5

Pleasant gentle indie, enjoyed that more than I expected

3 Years, 5 Months And 2 Days In The Life Of...

Arrested Development

3/5

Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Some excellent tracks, alot of filler

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Pleasant little album with some great surprises

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

4/5

A generous 4, heard it a few times now, decent album with some standouts, red eyes is the best

Live At The Witch Trials

The Fall

2/5

Scissor Sisters

2/5

The comfortably numb cover makes me angry I enjoyed the other album with I can't decide as a kid but this album feels like a slightly more sophisticated venga boys

Deserter's Songs

Mercury Rev

2/5

Very average, can't say there's anything particular memorable or impactful about it

The Stone Roses

3/5

Still pretty overrated to me, opening track I wanna be adored, and the two closing tracks, I Am the Resurrection and Fools Gold are the best tracks. The rest is very forgettable, I suppose it's really impressive if you think Oasis is the be all and end all of music.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

5/5

All time classic, no bad tracks

Club Classics Vol. One

Soul II Soul

2/5

Just a bit dull, nothing grabbed me

Cross

Justice

3/5

Better than I remembered, great album to workout too but it's not my favourite genre

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Never heard Sam Cooke live before, just a perfect series of songs

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

I like it but an album of it get repetitive fast, won't be getting many relistens from me

Grace

Jeff Buckley

5/5

Just a perfect album

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter

3/5

Bot a bad record but nothing sensational

Myths Of The Near Future

Klaxons

3/5

Big nostalgia hit, loved this album growing up, the singles are still great but in a whole the album has a lot of filler, could be ten minutes shorter

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

Much better than I expected, think I view Elvis as a bit of a punchline but I can see why he was so popular

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

The opening riff made me feel this record was going to be more exciting but it turned into the same mediocre folk rock. I just don't get the hype around Neil Young. Maybe he was amazing because of the time

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Fun album, I like the classical riffs mixed with prog rock, seems a bit too gimmicky to me like a lot of prog rock

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

3/5

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Always preferred In Rainbows but this is such a great album, if not a bit too depressing at times

3/5

Didn't enjoy this as much, a bit too samey for too long

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

4/5

Loved this, very psychedelic and a bit predictable but felt original

My Generation

The Who

4/5

Excellent album, love the old style sound and the younger version of the Who that I haven't heard before. I'll always say live at Leeds is the best but this is a great studio album

Play

Moby

2/5

Safe to say I don't get the hype, felt very long winded for alot of loops and the same drum line on every track 2 stars because it wasn't entirely terrible but every track I enjoyed was too dragged out

The Suburbs

Arcade Fire

4/5

A classic, looking forward to a relisten It's a shame they really lost their way but for about 3 and a half albums Arcade Fire were top of the game. Only reason this isn't a five is there's too much filler for my liking
