That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

The Score

Fugees

3/5

Good at what they do and good sounds in this album but quite a ‘theme’ going on.

Adele

5/5

Great album. Variety of song style and range of styles of singing make a big impact. An album that you can return to again and again.

1984

Van Halen

3/5

Lightweight heavy metal. Good guitar riffs and driving bass. They make a good sound but it is very polished metal! 🤘🏽

Songs For Swingin' Lovers!

Frank Sinatra

5/5

Really enjoyed this album. Effortless singing from Sinatra and talented musicians produced this top-notch album.

All Directions

The Temptations

3/5

Real fab sounds here and there. Some tunes were spun out too long but there is real soul to the sounds in this album.

L'Eau Rouge

The Young Gods

2/5

Mammy, daddy this one was hard work. The opening tune was like a fairground tune. Some of the tunes had driving bass and there were some episodes of heavy metal drum work but I found this album to be one that I feel I have survived rather than enjoyed.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

5/5

Barn-stormer of an album. Every track is a cracker. The musicianship is flawless and the poetry of the song’s immense. An album I could never tire of listening to and enjoying.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

Not too keen on this. Felt like it was the same track over and over again. Even dipping in song at a time didn’t feel that there was much of a difference. This one isn’t for me.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

2/5

Not a fan of jazz fusion but in this album there are sounds that are accessible for all. Good for 1974 and ok for a background tune but not one I would revisit too often.

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

5/5

Light and airy sounds with great harmonies. Real easy listening throughout the album. One o could return to again and again. Really enjoyable listen.

Whatever

Aimee Mann

3/5

American Pie

Don McLean

3/5

The Dark Side Of The Moon

Pink Floyd

2/5

😫I have never and will never understand the fuss around this album. Dreary, monotonous and songs that seem to drag on. This was not a listening experience it was torture. Glad their very many fans enjoy this noise but it is most definitely not for me.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

2/5

Real MOR sounds. Inoffensive but not particularly noteworthy. Majority rules means this is popular but not with me.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Real MOR sounds. Inoffensive but not particularly noteworthy. Majority rules means this is popular but not with me.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Fiona Apple

3/5

An enjoyable listen. Good vibes and different styles. A band I will look out for and try to catch them live.

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Loved this album. Many different highlights. Musicianship was great and the interpretations of some songs were really entertaining.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

Fabulous album. Showcases the talents and strengths of every band member. Just as fresh sounding now as when it was launched.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Brings back every Western film I watched as a child. Country guitar picking and perfectly pitched harmonies. Delivers exactly what it is meant to.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys
