Really middling for me. Lots of boring 2010s rock sound. Some of it was ok but I tired of it rather quickly.
It's a classic. It's a lot of fun. Punchy and ace.
Still like this after a re listen. Probs my fave Dylan. Like the guitars and the writing but I can't really immerse myself.
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.
Reggae done to a superb standard. Hard to beat really.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Honestly shocked I'd not heard an Elvis album before. Pretty solid but not entirely for me.
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.
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.
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.
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.
They'll never make me like you, Oasis.
Super cool. The second disc has always been my favorite, but it's all in all a very solid no-nonsense record.
Liked this a lot more then when I last heard it. The electric side is really ace.
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.
Absolutely class. One of the best prog records going. Such an epic sound.
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.
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.
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.
Perfectly alright. Nothing too crazy but it was enjoyable. Unlikely to revisit.
Really fun punk album. Had been meaning to listen to it for a while. Will be returning to it.
This really icked me for some reason. Not a fan at all.
Quite a fun relisten. Not a great deal to say but it's a very solid album.
Quite liked this. Not the greatest metal album I've heard but it was punchy and fun. A decent time.
Really solid. Very different to the other Springsteen stuff I've heard, but in a positive way. Super cool.
Man, this has grown on me so much over time. Just a great collection of absolutely stellar rock songs, so much fun.
An absolute classic funk record. I've always been a big fan of this one, it's got a bit of everything you need.
I really wasn't too keen on this. It wasn't bad by any stretch, but it just didn't grab me, which is unfortunate as I think there probably is some talent at play.
Man, every time I listen to this record it grows on me more and more. It kicks a ridiculous amount of ass, the guitar-work straddling a beautiful balance between technical proficiency and outright catchiness. That's not to diminish the other elements - both the bass and drums are done to perfection - and Mustaine's singing does as it needs to. Not nearly as offensive as people claim it to be in my eyes.
Pulp are probably the best Britpop has to offer. Decent songwriting, classy instrumentation, it's decent.
Perfectly pleasant but not very impressive. Was nice to hear some pre-beatles pop either way, feels like it's a period of music that gets overlooked these days.
This is ace. A really cool band that I'd heard of, but stupidly never tuned into. The sax on this is superb, ahead of it's time in my eyes.
I mean not all of this is jaw-droppingly good, but it's just too pleasant to give any less praise to. A very nice record.
Absolutely beautiful, especially so with the context of Jarrett playing this at the request of a young fan, on a broken down, shoddy piano which was the only equipment avalible.
Fairly simple but quite fun. Was a perfectly fine listen but I can't see myself returning.
Perfectly pleasant. At times a bit repetitive at times but when it shines it's really fun.
A solid enough new wave record. For every great track on here there are about 2 that I'd take or leave. Enjoyable listen overall however.
Always been against the eagles. Guitar wankery with no real substance.
I enjoy sunny 60s pop music enough to get behind this, but I think I would tire of it if not for that fact.
A great, if over-the-top at times record. When it fully embraces the theatrical sound, with pianos, saxes etc, it almost feels like I should hate it - but it just works. The title track is wonderful.
I'm a big fan of 60s psych rock in general, so this was always gonna be a win for me. The Byrds happen to it exceptionally well. This record nails that signature Laurel Canyon sound of sunny psychadelia with an slightly sinister undertone.
It's a real shame to see that Orbital aren't getting much love on here. I carry a level of bias as this is music I grew up around, that has always been part of my life, but I genuinley belive that the Hartnols made some of the most beautiful, human and heartfelt music in the 90s. This record lacks some of the progressivness that elevates their other records, but still stands as a wonderful LP with a lot to love.
Not Waits best. Has it's moments but lacks some of the variety that make me love his other LPs.
Unlike some of MJs better work, this has aged poorly, and has a sickly 80s feel that I can't really get behind. Has it's moments in the title track and smooth criminal.
A bit lacking compared to some of the other more spiritual hip-hop albums of it's time, but nontheless very enjoyable - with some standouts.
Really respectable album but I couldn't really get into it as much as id have liked. Still good though.
Tolerable but easily the most forgettable radiohead record.
Not the best I've heard from Joni but still incredibly catchy and solid. She's an excellent songwriter.
