Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Good vibe and his voice is great, unfortunately not 5 stars, it got a bit same-y in my opinion. Really good album otherwise.

Moon Safari

Air

3/5

Very relaxing production. A couple misses on the album stops it from being 4. Good album.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

5/5

Masterpiece. One of the most powerful and moving voices I've heard. Four Women is phenomenal. Easy 5 stars.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

2/5

Maybe I just wasn't feeling it but this album is just so mid. Firstly it's 2 hours long and there's a ton of filler, and secondly the high points aren't even that high. Aquemini and Stankonia are better.

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

4/5

Pretty solid 4 stars. Great songs with a melancholy vibe. Student Demonstration is stupidly out of place in the album but I quite like the song by itself.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

Great album, not too much to say here. If I listened to it a bit more it might end up being 5 stars but hey ho

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

This has been one of my favourite albums for a while, absolute classic

System Of A Down

1/5

It's difficult to express how much I dislike this album. Fuck me its so bad. I saw the cult following this had in the reviews, and I wanted to like it, but it just sounds like they just grabbed some crackhead off the street and forced him to "sing" over some great rock. If Serj Tankian wasn't born this would be a great album. Ruined my day

Tubular Bells

Mike Oldfield

3/5

Good but nothing special

New Forms

Roni Size

3/5

I don't really listen to DnB but this was pretty good. I don't get the hate

Blunderbuss

Jack White

4/5

This is surprisingly good. It feels like a blend of blues and rock

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

This was a really good album. Lovely voice and a breath of fresh air from the boring stuff I've been getting recently

Penthouse And Pavement

Heaven 17

2/5

Started fine but just got a bit boring. Not my thing

The xx

3/5

Nice ambience but a bit plain for my liking. Good album

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

4/5

I skipped most of the album as it was just reissue tracks, but the original 10 songs were really good. Very unique

Reign In Blood

Slayer

3/5

Metals not my thing but this was quite good.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

2/5

Boring. Not sure why they're trying to be so silly and whimsical, I don't really get it. It'd probably be a better listen if you were insanely high

Siembra

Willie Colón & Rubén Blades

5/5

Unexpectedly amazing. It's time like these I wish I understood Spanish. The whole thing oozes soul Edit - listened to this half a month ago now, just found out Willie Colon died a couple days ago. RIP

Diamond Life

Sade

4/5

Smooooooooth

Fear and Whiskey

Mekons

3/5

This was quite enjoyable. It has a very folk feel, very unique. I was tempted to give this a 4 but it just about doesn't make it for me.

Bad

Michael Jackson

4/5

Peak

My Generation

The Who

3/5

This was quite fun, trailed off a bit at the end

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg

Jerry Lee Lewis

3/5

Very fun album. Not much to say

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

I expected to hate this, but this was genuinely really good. I was tempted to give this a 4 but I need to keep my rankings consistent.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

This has been heavy in rotation on my playlist for years. An absolute classic, a must listen for anyone who even slightly likes hip-hop.

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

3/5

Couldn't be bothered to listen to the full 2 hours, but from what I did listen to, this album is quite good. A bit hit and miss but I'm sure this is a wet dream for any psychedelic rock fan. Being high would improve this

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

5/5

I was excited when I saw this pop up on the day, and rightfully so because holy shit, this thing was amazing. It has an atmosphere unlike any I've heard before.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

3/5

I don't know how to feel about this. It's very rich and interesting but is a bit harsh on the ears at times. Very mixed feelings between 3 and 4. Broken Heart is a beautiful track.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

3/5

I quite liked this, nothing crazy about it though. Not really my style.

Tracy Chapman

5/5

The generator has been cooking recently. This is probably the most accessible album I've had so far - literally anyone could listen to this and say its a 10/10. Amazing songs front to back

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

5/5

This was amazing. The music itself is phenomenal. I read a bit into them, and now their message is even more profound to me. This album carries the legacy of their homeland, despite the oppression and the upheaval caused by the MNLA and Ansar Dine. Unquestionably a 5/5

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Enjoyed this thoroughly. I loved the live audience and his interactions with them, and the lyricism is so raw. Almost a 5.

Fear Of A Black Planet

Public Enemy

4/5

Can't believe I haven't listened to these guys before. I love the chaos

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

5/5

Loved this
