Superfly

Curtis Mayfield

5/5

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Love the first track but as an album I found the listening experience cloying and one-note and therefore struggled through - surprised myself with this rating not being higher!

Joan Armatrading

4/5

Adore Joan Armatrading and thought this would be a 5, maybe just my mood on the day made it a 4??

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

5/5

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

2/5

First time listening to Led Zepp ever. Like Battle of Evermore and Stairway to Heaven. Levee ok. Don't like Tolkein or screeching though. Headache land

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

1/5

Harmonica torture hell. Except for Masters of War, which I liked. Not enough for a star though

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

4/5

Foo Fighters

Golden Hour

Kacey Musgraves

4/5

What's That Noise?

Coldcut

4/5

I wasn't alive when this was out but being a fan of raves, Dance Dance Revolution, funfairs & Queen Latifah, this album lights up pleasure centers in my brain

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Don't think I'll ever be a Dylan fan but Subterranean Homesick Blues was fun and already better than anything on Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. I do like Mr. Tambourine Man despite harmonica. Didn't hate Gates of Eden but I think it could have done without harmonica. Liked It's Alright Ma (no/minimal harmonica?) By the end of this my fist was clenching every time the harmonica played, not good for my PTSD

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

1/5

So glad the album is over and I never have to listen to it again

evermore

Taylor Swift

3/5

Not enjoyed a Taylor album since 2017's 'reputation' cause I like her poppier, livelier songs... if I want folky vibes I'm not listening to Taylor sorry lol. I like 'gold rush' & 'no body, no crime'. Taylor sounds 10000% better when she sings in lower register, I usually like high-pitch female vocals but she just doesn't have the voice for it. Worked well as mindless background music ig??

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

So so good. Never heard the first 2 songs before but instant favs. And this album contains 2 of my all-time fav songs (Perfect Day and Satellite of Love) so it was starting off well. Surprised I've never listened through the album before. Make Up is creepy ("slick little girl" vom) but I can forgive it.

Peace Sells...But Who's Buying

Megadeth

1/5

Prefer my metal slower, more melodic, and less... thrashy, maybe? That said I'm on the intro to Good Mourning right now and I'm jelling with this. Okay, now it's super fast again and I'm like, ow, headache. I think this is just very not for me.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

I hate live albums but this is Good??? I don't even mind the screaming. It's moody and proggy and I'm digging it. Okay but this drum solo is too long.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

5/5

Sorry but the first four Coldplay albums are a 5/5 for me. Fave tracks: Warning Sign (it was in a Buffy episode!) and God Put a Smile upon Your Face. Not actually bothered about Clocks. I feel the need to give excuses for my lack of dislike... Its good music to write to, y'know?

To Pimp A Butterfly

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Automatic 5 star no notes

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

1/5

I get the importance of this but I think I just have to accept that jazz is not my thing. Annoyingly, cause my name is literally Jazz. I had to accept recently that magical realism is not my thing in literature. Glad that Magical Realism is not my middle name at least.

The Rise & Fall

Madness

5/5

Love Madness but had to thumbs up the review that said, "Every song is like a theme tune for a slapstick villain"... That's exactly why I like it

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

Enjoying this a lot more than the live album. Highway Star is great. I only knew Smoke on the Water before this

Pieces Of The Sky

Emmylou Harris

1/5

Doolittle

Pixies

Morrissey

2/5

Very annoying sound effects / audio clips that mean I skip about 3 songs due to autistic annoyance

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

5/5

I'm only 3 songs in and I'm rating this a 5 already

C'est Chic

CHIC

2/5

Only really liked Le Freak and I Want Your Love. Others I found irritating - Chic Cheer, Savoir Faire, At Last I Am Free and Sometimes You Win. I consider myself a fan of disco, but maybe I'm not since I'm giving this such a low rating?!

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

5/5

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

I just think that since I'm vegan I should at least gain the privilege of not listening to this album ever again

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys
