2/5

kind of fun at points, too repetitive, got sick of it as it went on

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

All Ratings

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You

Aretha Franklin

3/5

3.5

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

2/5

chaotic but also not that interesting

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

3/5

I enjoyed this! Unsure if this score is too harsh but i think a 3 is pretty good so eh Had some clunky lyrics and could be a bit on the nose and repetitive at times for my taste but also some great moments

A Girl Called Dusty

Dusty Springfield

2/5

Great voice, ultimately a covers album with not loads going on

In Utero

Nirvana

3/5

I enjoyed this and rating is hard, my indecisiveness prefers to have the option of half stars. I liked it but some repetitive choruses and not many wows for me on first few listens, will maybe revisit after Nevermind

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

I may be biased because this is the Beatles album I grew up on but it's just banger after banger As a child I LOVED Eleanor Rigby and found For No One so devastating i could barely listen to it - on this listen Tomorrow Never Knows really stuck out to me. A treat!

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

1/5

this is horrific but at least it was entertaining ...until it went on too long and became insufferable listening to this made me turn off recently played artists being visible on my spotify profile

Lost Souls

Doves

2/5

Sounds nice i suppose, but a bit one-note - i feel like the album is broadly composed of continual noise with some interesting textures but it lacks some light and shade. Most of it sounds like background music that might be used in a mid film or car advert - more focused on atmosphere and vibes than musicality. It was fine, it sounded nice enough, but it bored me more as it went on.

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

3/5

May revisit

A Love Supreme

John Coltrane

4/5

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

3/5

3-4

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem

1/5

i listened to the original version on youtube as recommended by another review, and it was a lot better than the version on spotify so i'd recommend doing that. unfortunately i still hate drum & bass and i hated this

Neon Bible

Arcade Fire

2/5

I was surprised by how much i didn't really like this one because i do like arcade fire that ive heard previously. started off well then got a bit wishy washy and anthemic for my taste

Only By The Night

Kings of Leon

2/5

eh fine. i don't really like his voice

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

1/5

cheesey and samey and unfortunately really not my thing

Magazine

4/5

enjoyed this one! will revisit

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

3/5

not really my genre but honestly enjoyed this more than i thought i would that said - pussycat was terrible, plz beyonce you can still go to the club with your friends even though you love your man, and if i hear 'this is a missy elliott exclusive' one more time i think i'll have a breakdown

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

1/5

unfortunately i'm not massively a lyrics person and musically this is very monotonous and repetitive, almost eerily so. an interesting listen as i've not listened to much traditional country music before, but i didn't particularly enjoy it - the constant harmonising made my brain feel like mush by the end

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Darkdancer

Les Rythmes Digitales

2/5

kind of fun at points, too repetitive, got sick of it as it went on

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

2/5

this is a journey and the sampling is crazy, i understand why people love it and why it's here but i also struggled to get through it

Stankonia

OutKast

2/5

i'm trying to like rap & hip hop but i'm finding it hard snappin' & trappin' one of the most horrible songs ive ever listened to but the rest of it was alright might have rated this higher if i didn't feel a bit overwhelmed by rap lately - i can see why it's good but i just didnt really enjoy listening to it and it was looong

Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret

Soft Cell

2/5

unfortunately this did not make me like 80s synth pop

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

sounds nice enough

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

3/5

Nice stuff

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

the kind of album that feels more about the lyrics than about the music. I quite liked State Trooper, the rest of it was fairly samey and uninteresting.
