The Pleasure Principle

Gary Numan · 1 likes

2/5

I have heard about him, it is meant to be good stuff but i found it extremely repetitive, and a bit dull. And it was over an hour which was not necessary

The Flaming Lips

4/5

A very interesting album, i like that the songs are long but don't feel like they overstay their welcome, great vibes all around. Quite similar to some other bands i listen to. I like the use of crowd sounds and unusual instrumentation. Not normally a fan of heavily electric music but this was a banger

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

Already knew this album well, never listened to it in full before, great experience 👍

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

Dance Mania

Tito Puente

3/5

Not my kind of music, i appreciate lyrics and i can't speak Spanish, i prefer slower music. Not saying it's bad just not my thing

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

4/5

Lyrics are what i appreciate most in music, sadly there was very limited of this here. I felt as though the songs all overstayed their welcome a bit... 12 minutes, while not the longest song ever is a bit mad for an instrumental. Still I can appreciate how good the instruments and playing is so it is rated high. Also not usually a jazz man but this did get me grooving occasionally. I will listen further into Zappa

Mothership Connection

Parliament

5/5

Holy funky, this got me feelin the funk in my junk. Absolutely loved the concept of this album, 1st track was a very obvious stand out to me, I'm not normally a funk fan or at least I don't listen to it often but hell I'd rate it higher than 5 if I could

Roxy Music

4/5

I sa lots of bad reviews for this album so I went in with very low hopes for it, i expected some absolute trash, this is not what I got. I thought it was a good album. Nothing too special and i don't think I will listen to more of them but yes i don't believe it deserved the amount of hate I saw in the other reviews.

Talk Talk Talk

The Psychedelic Furs

2/5

This album has no reason to be 53 minutes long, just for nothing to happen. It was all very samey, which i appreciate in the smiths but this does not have as much personality. I often found myself bored, which is strange since there was just so much going on here, too much?

Great album. The Asian style instruments aren't really my thing though

Not a rap or hip hop fan at all, but this is chill, good shit.

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

4/5

Abraxas

Santana

4/5

That cover of Black magic woman was just the cherry on top, favorite Fleetwood Mac song, so amazing to hear a slightly different take on it. Loses a star for me because I love lyrics and this wasn't very heavy on lyrics

BEYONCÉ

Deja Vu

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

2/5

See i expected really great things from this, I like some of Paul Simon's music and I have heard great things about him. This was so dull. It felt like 2 hours. It felt a bit too classically 80s, like it was trying too hard to sound like an 80s album

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

5/5

Peak album, don't see why people don't like morrissey's voice, i quite like it. I know he is a horrible person but he can write some mean lyrics. Haters gonna hate

Murmur

R.E.M.

Teenage Head

Flamin' Groovies

4/5

There were certainly some Flaming Grooves I experienced during this album. I've seen lots of reviews saying they have heard a lot of albums like this. I don't see why that is a reason to mark it down, it's good shit that's why it's here. 1001 is a lot of albums of course some are going to be similar. However i did think this one was a bit too long

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

I expected to not enjoy this, i expected it to be very typically 80s with no soul whatsoever. It was very typically 80s but i actually really enjoyed it (good for a bit of a dance)

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

I'm not normally a fan of this kind of stuff but it was kind of a vibe tbh.

4/5

Keep this shit coming man, as a ween fan I love all the weirdness of this, i love weird music and seeing the beauty and art hidden beneath it. And it is clear to see the beauty here. Good stuff mang!

Caetano Veloso

I think the part of this experience i am enjoying most in listening to music from other cultures, i am loving this stuff

Queen

5/5

That transition between Flick of the Wrist and Lilly of the valley is just so amazing. I used to be a huge Queen fan a few years ago but drifted away from them a bit recently, really refreshing to listen to my old favourite album again.

Why is there so much Paul Simon, I get that he is a talented musician but holy shit i have gotten him like 4 times and I'm doing this for about two months. Although it was a decent album, o expected worse from his 80s stuff
