Reggatta De Blanc

The Police · 1 likes

2/5

Slightly disappointing to be honest. Really wanted to like it as I have enjoyed the odd police track in past, but I just couldn't dig it. Drumming was impressive though.

Brothers

The Black Keys

2/5

Really middling for me. Lots of boring 2010s rock sound. Some of it was ok but I tired of it rather quickly.

Rage Against The Machine

4/5

It's a classic. It's a lot of fun. Punchy and ace.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

4/5

Still like this after a re listen. Probs my fave Dylan. Like the guitars and the writing but I can't really immerse myself.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

4/5

This is really fun. Not my favorite thing ever but there's some super dope tracks here. Coconut I'm familiar with and a big fan of, jump into the fire is also a really cool jammy song. Good stuff Harry.

Exodus

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Reggae done to a superb standard. Hard to beat really.

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

I always am hesitant to listen to old R&B/Soul, which is odd because I always end up loving them. This is a lovely record that has some great soulful slow tunes, and some more funky lively stuff.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

3/5

It's pretty fun. The production of the tracks here really outshine the lyrically content, which is alright at best, and poorly aged at it's worst. Either way, this is a fine record. Not quite hall of fame status, but it's cool.

Metallica

3/5

After a bit of deliberation, I have decided i'm not going to be re-listening to the black album. I'm not really overly fond of Metallica at the best of times these days, and the black album is kind of a culmination of the issues I have with them. That being said, it's a reasonably fine album, and I can't knock it entirely just because it's fallen out of favor with me. Used to mess with it back in the day.

Nighthawks At The Diner

Tom Waits

3/5

Tom Waits' stuff is a guaranteed intresting time. This grabbed me less that some of his later stuff I've heard, but was a fun listen nontheless.

Elvis Presley

3/5

Honestly shocked I'd not heard an Elvis album before. Pretty solid but not entirely for me.

The Real Thing

Faith No More

3/5

Really wanted to like this, and some moments are genuinely well done, but there's also a lot of 90s pomp here that I can't get behind. That puts it firmly in middle ground for me.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

3/5

I think this albums greatest sin is that it's ultimately surpassed by the other Big Beat bands of the time. There's nothing that drives me to Fatboy Slim that I wouldn't be able to find in a prodigy or chemical brothers record. That being said, it has its moment, and Acid 8000 is a phenomenally fun track.

Destroyer

KISS

2/5

DNF. This is was pretty tired. Some songs were tolerable, it's not the most offensive record ever, but it's just boring and predictable. Nothing was keeping me intrested.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

It blows listening to this, becuase I really want to love it more than I do. Not that it's bad, its proficient and I really like a couple of the tracks, but a lot of it isn't for me.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

2/5

They'll never make me like you, Oasis.

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

4/5

Super cool. The second disc has always been my favorite, but it's all in all a very solid no-nonsense record.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

Liked this a lot more then when I last heard it. The electric side is really ace.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5

Gave the relisten a miss as I'd respun it very recently. Grand record. About as weird as 60s gets. Not zappa best but pretty damn good.

Moving Pictures

Rush

4/5

Absolutely class. One of the best prog records going. Such an epic sound.

Nowhere

Ride

3/5

An album by a band I've never heard before, which is a first for the list! This was very pleasant. Didn't blow me away but it was cool.

Music

Madonna

3/5

Thought this was really fun. Lot a stuff I wasn't as keen on, but some of the tracks are really smooth. The ones produced by William Orbit especially so.

Reggatta De Blanc

The Police

2/5

Slightly disappointing to be honest. Really wanted to like it as I have enjoyed the odd police track in past, but I just couldn't dig it. Drumming was impressive though.

Bandwagonesque

Teenage Fanclub

3/5

Perfectly alright. Nothing too crazy but it was enjoyable. Unlikely to revisit.

New York Dolls

4/5

Really fun punk album. Had been meaning to listen to it for a while. Will be returning to it.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

1/5

This really icked me for some reason. Not a fan at all.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Quite a fun relisten. Not a great deal to say but it's a very solid album.

Scum

Napalm Death

3/5

Quite liked this. Not the greatest metal album I've heard but it was punchy and fun. A decent time.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Really solid. Very different to the other Springsteen stuff I've heard, but in a positive way. Super cool.

Sticky Fingers

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Man, this has grown on me so much over time. Just a great collection of absolutely stellar rock songs, so much fun.

There's A Riot Goin' On

Sly & The Family Stone

4/5

An absolute classic funk record. I've always been a big fan of this one, it's got a bit of everything you need.
