The Score

Fugees

3/5

Not my usual kind of vibe but solid album if a little repetitive. Only song I’d heard before was Killing Me Softly which isn’t even one of the best songs on the album in my opinion. Definitely worth another listen to catch the lyrics more.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

3/5

Sounds like the soundtrack of an American road trip, one with highways through deserts and plains and valleys and whatever. I’m not American and also cannot drive but I have a great imagination. Ultimately not an album I would reach for but one that I don’t mind listening to.

Is This It

The Strokes

4/5

First song I was not vibing with but this is my reminder to just give it a second and withhold my judgement for more than one song because the album really grew on me and I kind of came to love it. Good songs, good vibe - good album.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

2/5

Yeah I didn’t like this. I could respect some of the instrumental work which is why I’m giving it a grudging 2 stars but the vocals did nothing for me and in fact just kind of pissed me off. I just feel like there was so much to work with here but not enough was done with it

Ramones

1/5

Didn’t really do much for me. Felt like the same song over and over and not a particularly good song at that

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

Not something I’d usually listen to and something I probably won’t listen to again but it was fun while it lasted!

In Rainbows

Radiohead

5/5

Radiohead just always does it for me. Truly great album - what more can I say

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

Nobody told me Iggy Pop was bop after bop. Proper boogie material I loved it.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Fairly inoffensive but just boring. I liked some songs more than others but I don’t think I’d ever choose this as an album to put on.

Third

Portishead

1/5

Weird. And weird doesn’t always mean bad but unfortunately, in this case, it does in fact mean bad. Didn’t get on with this at all really.

Superfuzz Bigmuff

Mudhoney

1/5

Nah not for me thanks

British Steel

Judas Priest

1/5

I’m learning things about myself. Namely, I do not like heavy metal.

Calenture

The Triffids

2/5

Not necessarily bad songs but rather an absence of great songs. Just felt kind of meh about it.

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Well wasn’t that just fun! Pleasantly surprised - album really grew on me as I was listening.

Ingenue

k.d. lang

3/5

Liked this more than I thought I would but I still don’t think I’d choose to put this on. Works nicely as background music with its mellow vibe though.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

Not a bad song on here - yeah yeah there’s an 11 minute instrumental jam and the album’s two hours long and there’s two versions of several songs - whatever, I don’t care, I loved it.

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

Couldn’t really get on with the vocals of this guy but I didn’t hate it so there’s that.

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

5/5

Now this is how you do a live album. Flawless. I want to be there and never leave.

Songs From The Big Chair

Tears For Fears

3/5

I really wanted to love this but I just didn’t. It’s a shame because Everybody Wants To Rule The World is genuinely a perfect song in my mind and I liked Shout and Head Over Heels but everything else fell flat for me.

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

4/5

I wasn’t expecting much because I’d never heard of Rufus Wainwright and the album cover is a strange one but this really sort of hooked me. Interesting and beautiful.

Vauxhall And I

Morrissey

1/5

I don’t like this guy.

Fifth Dimension

The Byrds

2/5

Didn’t really do much for me. Felt familiar but nothing special - I feel like if I wanted to listen to this kind of music, then there’s better artists to listen to.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

I don’t care how annoying this makes me, I love this album.

Le Tigre

4/5

I can see why people don’t like this but it’s just so fun that I can’t help but love it. Good vibes.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier

Adam & The Ants

3/5

Fine, amusing at times but gets a bit repetitive.

Electric Warrior

T. Rex

3/5

I liked the songs but they just felt a bit too steady? Like go crazy guys, you’re allowed to rock out!! Also wanna shoutout the brass in Girl because I loved that.

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

1/5

I tried to have an open mind but bad music unfortunately shuts my mind right up.

Street Life

The Crusaders

3/5

Funky. I would imagine it’s good for sauntering around downtown - will probably try it out sometime.

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

Two songs over 20 minutes long where one man has played and recorded all the instruments is a cry for help if I ever heard one. And the growling and howling and god knows what else noises in Tubular Bells Pt.2 cemented my opinion on this point. Despite that I quite enjoyed this and I’ve come to respect this guy and his endeavours, because like why not

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

The Smashing Pumpkins

3/5

Was quite impressed by this since it was a long one but it kept me engaged. Not so much a fan of the more grungy songs on here but there was a good mix.

Music From The Penguin Cafe

Penguin Cafe Orchestra

2/5

I can be quite a fan of orchestral stuff but for some reason I wasn’t a fan of this and I really wanted to be because hello the penguin cafe orchestra, can it get any more fun than that !?!

Django Django

3/5

There were some good songs on here but my overall listening experience was lessened by the other crap on here.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

2/5

Flute goes hard af. Thought it was a little treat when it popped up in Cross-Eyed Mary and then it just kept coming back? Incredible. Highlight of the album.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

3/5

3 stars for now because I need to listen again because lyrics like these deserved to be listened to again and again.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

2/5

Don’t really have anything to say. Fairly inoffensive. Not Rod Stewart at his best but not at his worst either I guess.

Lam Toro

Baaba Maal

2/5

Albums in another language are tricky to click with. Wasn’t a huge fan.

Dirt

Alice In Chains

2/5

Like an odd song now and then from here could be ok but an hour straight makes me want to cry a little bit.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

2/5

A little groovy I guess.

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

I appreciated this but feel like Paul could have put a bit more welly in it. Like how about some more expression and variation in the vocals? I do just wanna shoutout the bass in You Can Call Me Al, like a minute before the end because that little groove gave me life.

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

2/5

Sounds like my dad’s car. I don’t hate it but I can’t say I love it either. Not a huge synth fan.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

4/5

An interesting album but just not as interesting when you compare it to other Radiohead albums.

Tom Tom Club

1/5

Mariah Carey really worked her magic with this shite.
