Blackstar

David Bowie

2/5

Some strong points (E.g. I can't give everything away) but much like Monty Python there is the 'Good' Bowie and the 'Bad' Bowie. This is the bad

Smash

The Offspring

3/5

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Banger

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

Pretty funky start album and different to what I'd usually listen to. Particularly enjoyed the collab with 'The Gaza Sisters' Got a bit boring though and I can't really imagine myself coming back to it in a hurry. 2 stars.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

So many huge classics in this Albums. Plus hugely influential for the heavy metal genre.

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

1/5

Boring glam rock. I've committed to listening to all albums in full but this is the first one I've genuinely looked forward to ending.

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

Waterloo sunset is a lovely song but I found the rest of the album a bit twee and boring.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

Started strong but got a bit boring

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

Relaxing. I liked it

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

1/5

Boring and I found the coconut song super annoying

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Really like this album. Consistently good throughout

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

Problematic dude but can't deny how great this album is

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

5/5

There's something totally unique about the Prodigy. So fun and experimental. I really enjoyed this Album.

Django Django

3/5

Really enjoyed the first few songs but then found myself losing interest. A little bit long maybe.

New Gold Dream (81/82/83/84)

Simple Minds

1/5

This reminded me of the holding music you hear when trying to get hold of your banks call centre.

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Surprisingly didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Master of Puppets (the song) was good though.

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

I somewhat enjoyed listening to this in the background but I found it very unmemorable. I couldn't point out a single song. A bit of a watered down LCD Soundsystem.

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

Not really my thing. Perhaps nice to have on in the background at a dinner party or playing a board game but I couldn't really get into it just sat at my desk.

Vulnicura

Björk

1/5

Found this pretty grating. I like weird but this was too avant garde

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

4/5

OutKast are suuuch a fun band, never get bored of listening to them. So many hits on this album. Only reason it's not a 5 is there's quite a bit of filler and I was struggling to find time to listen to the whole thing all day.

Blur

2/5

Found it pretty unmemorable. Some songs just sounded like noise

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

He is absolutely insane but this is a fantastic album.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Not listened to much of The Bruce before, but thought this was a fun album.

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

2/5

Wow what a WEIRD album! Kinda like it though. Also, the first song is what I imagine Ogres sing in their caves.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

5/5

This was such a cool album. I am too sick to get it a proper breakdown but it’s 5 stars from me

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

Fun listen.

Figure 8

2/5

Inoffensive but forgettable

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

Enjoyable! ‘beautiful’ was in my head all day after this

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

Beck has like one good song and it’s not on this album. Few bits I found enjoyable but mostly a bit disinterested

Peter Gabriel 3

Peter Gabriel

3/5

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Really enjoyed this start to finish. Listened to it multiple times over the weekend. Rare I find I can find an album just to completely switch off to.

With The Beatles

Beatles

I prefer The Beatles later work when they were all up to their eyeballs on LSD.

Odelay

Beck

3/5

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Common

4/5
