Master Of Puppets

Metallica

4/5

Their best!

Endtroducing.....

DJ Shadow

3/5

I wasn't expecting to like this, but I did, it was super relaxing and I quite liked the talking clips too.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

3/5

Pretty good, I'd only ever heard or recognised the popular ones, but it was a solid album start to end.

Adele

2/5

A talented singer, great voice. I wished the musical arrangements were louder in the mix, and the singing let off now and again. This wasn't exciting, it was predictable, it was hard to get through but glad I did because Someone like you has some fantastic moments.

Mothership Connection

Parliament

3/5

Fun, energetic. This would be great to queue up with guests over, as background music or blasted all over the neighbourhood.

Bad

Michael Jackson

2/5

This guy was a master of the 80s sound, which is good if you like that but I don't.

Amnesiac

Radiohead

2/5

Feels like a concept album, OK for background music.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

2/5

The production is excellent, most of the song writing is simple, but it was an easy listen.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

This was great, I loved his singing and his message. Will definitely spin this up again.

This was alright, I didn't find it memorable, it was generic sounding.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing ambient album.

Nope, didn't like it. Some of the music was artsy and interesting, but really disliked the vocals. 1.5/5

The Modern Lovers

3/5

I wouldn't have guessed this is a 70's album. Nice production, it has a modern classic feel to it. Stand out tracks: Someone I Care About, Modern World. Good album. 3/5

Blunderbuss

Jack White

3/5

Solid album, enjoyable, a few standout moments. He uses the piano so well.

1984

Was okay for something playing in the background

Some good variety. Kind of reminds me of belle and Sebastian.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

Shit yeah 🤘

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

Like a 90's Geordie Greep, loved it. Easy 4

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

3/5

An easy listen, a few good tracks

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

I didn't like this, it went too long and the songs all sounded too similar.

Black Sabbath

4/5

Absolutely fantastic. So close to a 5, the guitar work is phenomenal.

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

4/5

Good fun, unpredictable, an enjoyable listen.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

5/5

Fantastic album. Beautiful music, interesting, the vocals were delicate with real substance. Some lovely lyrics, with lines like "We kissed like we invented it" and "So yes I guess I'm asking you, to back a horse that's good for glue". My first 5 in this musical journey.

Arrival

ABBA

3/5

Not my king of thing, but it's abba, no complaints here.

The Cars

4/5

Great song after great song, so well produced too.

The Score

Fugees

3/5

I'd have liked this more with less talking.

The Wall

Pink Floyd

3/5

Some fantastic, iconic tunes on thus one. Too much fluff for a 4 though.

Live!

Fela Kuti

3/5

Not bad, a fun listen

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

3/5

Chill, a good listen but nothing exciting

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69)

Ministry

3/5

Meaty. It's been a long time since hearing this, and I remember it being heavier. That aside, I felt it was a bit repetative but still a solid album.

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Pretty chill, enjoyable 3.5

The Stooges

3/5

That was pretty cool, some really nice psychedelic guitar work. 3.5

Machine Gun Etiquette

The Damned

3/5

Solid rock tunes, what's not to like.

At Newport 1960

Muddy Waters

3/5

Fun, soulful, happy.. The master

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

1/5

Not good. At times it sounds like the guitar is playing along to a drum and bass click track, then the singing (if you can call it that) makes it really hard to complete the album. Camparing this to Captain Beefheart is absurd.

The Infotainment Scan

The Fall

3/5

Pretty good, no complaints, but nothing really stood out as interesting either.

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

2/5

Boring

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

3/5

OK, not their best

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

Some good moments on this, and some less so. Light 3

Chris

Christine and the Queens

3/5

Unexpectedly good. 15 seconds into the first song I was hoping it wouldn't be painful. My opinion changed, I'd listen to this again, probably the French half only.

Dummy

Portishead

5/5

Awesome album. The masterpieces on this make up for the very few flailing moments

Step In The Arena

Gang Starr

2/5

Boring, repetative. Surprised its not earlier than 1990 really.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

4/5

So relaxing, the music and vocals are flawless.
