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.

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 bangers on this, so many.

3/5

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

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

3/5

Shit yeah 🤘

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

4/5

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

The Pogues

2/5

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.

Slanted And Enchanted

Pavement

3/5

I don't mind pavement, nothing about them have really jumped out to me, including this. Some solid rock.

Horses

Patti Smith

4/5

Always a good listen. So many styles, timeless.

Slippery When Wet

Bon Jovi

3/5

Lots of fun tunes, some bangers.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

3/5

Pretty good, no complaints but nothing outstanding either.

On The Beach

Neil Young

3/5

Pretty good, wish it was longer. Simple and still interesting. Solid 3.

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

3/5

Nod bad, 2.5/5 I was thinking most of the way through how much it sounded like that 'Come on Eileen' song which I momentarily thought was The Cure for some reason.

Songs Of Love And Hate

Leonard Cohen

4/5

I thoroughly loved this

Call of the Valley

Shivkumar Sharma

4/5

So relaxing, I'll definitely listen to this again.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Good album, nothing to complain about, but I don't get the hype about it being a masterpiece. 7/10 or a light 4.

Soul Mining

The The

2/5

Didn't enjoy this.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

3/5

Was okay, more bluesy than I was expecting. Light 3

Nevermind

Nirvana

5/5

The more times I hear this, the more I like the second half more. Solid 9/10, or a 5/5.

Double Nickels On The Dime

Minutemen

3/5

Was okay, and better than expected for so many shirt songs. In saying that, many songs could have cut to make this a non-double album. Also, I didn't find the attempted humour funny. Ill give it a 3. You need the glory, wtf.

Hybrid Theory

Linkin Park

3/5

Some good ones on here, some not so good. Light 3

Live And Dangerous

Thin Lizzy

3/5

Solid rock n roll, great guitar work.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

What a fantastic voice. I feel like singing his gotten too fancy for this type of voice these days.

Talvin Singh

2/5

Not good. This felt like someone made or obtained some mediocre music and tried to add beats it.

Brothers In Arms

Dire Straits

3/5

Not bad at all, some really good tracks, especially in the first half. Easy 3.

The xx

3/5

That was okay, really enjoyable at times, but nothing unforgettable.

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

2/5

Damn, I thought this was going to be good, it wasn't. It was repetative, egotistical and boring. It sounded like the 90's and should stay there.

At Fillmore East

The Allman Brothers Band

3/5

This was pretty cool, the last two tracks especially, fantastic guitar work, a fun jam session.

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

3/5

It was okay, nothing memorable, nothing offense. Light 3, or 5/10

Pearl

Janis Joplin

3/5

Pretty good, solid 3

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

3/5

Solid songs, solid singing, quite good. Solid 3

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Was okay, a few hits, everything else was unmemorable on one listen, but understand how someone could really get 8nto this album. But, for me, a 3.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

This was awesome. So now I got to listen to more of this guy, and also revisit some John Coltrane now that I know I may just like Avant-garde jazz. This just escaped in as a 4,but would have been an easy 4 if there was less piano and guitar.

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

3/5

This was okay, at times relaxing. I may not listen to it again, scoring is hard sometimes, I'd like to give this a 2.5,2 is too low, so 3 it is.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

3/5

This was okay, was expecting better, all the songs have a somewhat similar sound/feel.

En-Tact

The Shamen

1/5

Oh no, this it shit. Track 1, yeah nah, 1 hour and 7 minutes of this is gonna be tough. Track 2 amplified this feeling, shitty 80s/90's dance music with shitty beats and shitty synths.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Rather enjoyable. The child crying on Runaway Child was a bit uncomfortable to hear.
