The Joshua Tree

U2 · 1 likes

2/5

Difficult to get past how 'U2-esque' the singles and much of the album were. A few highlights where guitar doesn't sound so obvious.

The Joshua Tree

2/5

Difficult to get past how 'U2-esque' the singles and much of the album were. A few highlights where guitar doesn't sound so obvious.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

3/5

2 albums, obviously but loses something from being too long when trying to listen to both consecutively. Prefer speakerboxx which I wasn't expecting, the love below is trying to do a lot but sometimes feels disjointed.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

2/5

Fine. So much harmonica, why all the harmonica. Had to listen in multiple parts as became grating quite quickly

Sea Change

Beck

4/5

Sad Beck. Really enjoyed

Elvis Presley

4/5

A lean 28 minutes! Enjoyable the whole way through with a few less memorable moments. A glimpse of what was to come.

Adele

4/5

Really strong start that sort of tails off towards the end. Enjoyable enough, liked it more than I thought I would and really enjoyed some of the singles.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

3/5

Pretty decent, I would probably have appreciated it more if I listened to it in the context it was presumably intended to be enjoyed in.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

3/5

Pretty good, goes on a bit too long and again probably benefits from being listened to in a different context

Gorillaz

3/5

It was okay, no strong thoughts one way or another

A Short Album About Love

The Divine Comedy

3/5

Pretty interesting , quite short but don't really remember any of the tracks. Will probably have to give another listen.

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

2/5

Really not my cup of tea. Felt like I was in an episode of a TV show in the 70s. Yet to make it all the way through

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

3/5

Overall good, forgettable in parts and maybe a bit long. Interesting use of different genres, would listen again

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

Can't believe I've never listened to King Crimson before, really good and didn't feel self-indulgent like some other prog albums on the list.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

4/5

Surprised to enjoy it quite a lot, didn't drag at all

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

4/5

Really well crafted pop songs, love the cardigans but think more of my favourites are on Gran Turismo. Would definitely listen in its entirety again

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

3/5

Didn't dislike it as I thought I would. Obviously a very important album but loses some of its impact when listening to it in the modern day

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

4/5

Listened to fairly frequently of late and I think it holds up as well as it did over twenty years ago when I first listened to it. Love the fact that he sings the hooks instead of having to bring in a host of guests, would probably give five stars if I think about it more

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars

1/5

Immediately upon starting the first song I knew I would struggle to get through the album and I was right.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

3/5

Interesting concept but not my cup of tea. Not a fan of Daltrey's voice in the higher ranges where it sounds strained. Some stand out tracks and funny in parts.

Siamese Dream

The Smashing Pumpkins

4/5

Really good, never listened to the album in it's entirety before and there are some really high highs. A whole hour of Corgan's vocals can start to grate

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

5/5

Brilliant, Melancholy and filled with yearning with excellent production. Dusty's vocal performances have always been some of my favourites and they're on display here. Loved it from start to finish with not a wasted moment

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

4/5

I was so ready to hate this, I went in with such low expectations and enjoyed it a lot. I had to skip sweet child o' mine so I couldn't get an opportunity to change my mind

Green

R.E.M.

3/5

Enjoyable enough, I wouldn't say there were high highs or low lows and Michael Stipe's voice can become grating after a while.

California

American Music Club

3/5

Actually quite enjoyed the album, though I understand why some reviewers have said it sounds like listening to your mate's band. I think I would listen again if it was easier to stream.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

Very enjoyable, Hayes' voice is so smooth and his take on Walk on by is so different, almost unrecognisable. With all the songs being ten minutes long sometimes I found my attention wondering a little towards the end as they were mostly instrumental.

Ctrl

SZA

2/5

Not for me
