Paranoid

4/5

Insane album, every other song I caught myself thinking "oh it's from this album?". Only reason it didn't leave even MORE of an impression is because I've heard the individual songs used on popular media so often

Kollaps

1/5

This was my least favourite album so far, as such I could not settle on one negative review and have instead written several- -This album makes me feel like I'm a german teenager in the 1980s discovering myself in a warehouse basement somewhere in Düsseldorf; and I hate it -I can very much see the appeal of industrial music unfortunately I can't hear it -ouch oof ow my ears aaaarrrghhhhhhhhhh

Probably a 4 on a relisten

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

1/5

I hate!

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

4/5

There’s a documentary I remember watching when I was younger about this woman who gets lost on a snowy mountain and has to survive for weeks on end by eating ice and foraging what she can from the surrounding area (which was basically just more ice), she finally gets saved by a trucker who happens to be passing by and because she looks so visibly malnourished he gives her an old orange he was going to have for his lunch and to her it tastes like the best thing she’s ever eaten because for the last week she’s basically eaten nothing that’s actual food. Anyway since the last album I got was a solo Morrissey album listening to Illinois by Sufjan Stevens was a real treat!

Shaka Zulu

Ladysmith Black Mambazo

2/5

I liked it but not really something I'd seek to relisten

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight

Richard Thompson

2/5

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

3/5

Man I love changes and life on mars but I really didn’t mesh with the rest of the album

The ArchAndroid

Janelle Monáe

4/5

Damn this album was just non stop bangers, might even be a 5 on a relisten

Wild Wood

Paul Weller

3/5

Really enjoyed the first two tracks, rest of album was a bit meh

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

4/5

I really wasn't expecting much from the first song but by the end I was really invested in the narrative being portrayed. Doesn't have a single song that I'd listen to on its own but as a whole the album made me feel things, the moment where Mike finds the money behind the tv really brought it full circle in a way that was super satisfying

Vincebus Eruptum

Blue Cheer

2/5

eeeh
