He's a spoon but the music is good

Dookie

Green Day

4/5

Do you have the time to listen to me whine?

Blackstar

David Bowie

3/5

Loved the first 4 minutes, but dropped off for me

Smash

The Offspring

2/5

I have to be in a particular mood to enjoy this one cover to cover, and there's better options when I'm in that mood.

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

Solid

Graceland

Paul Simon

2/5

Getting gospel church pop and it brings back memories of choir boy days that I didn't particularly love. Some redeeming qualities though.

Paranoid

Black Sabbath

5/5

Go Girl Crazy

The Dictators

2/5

Didn't really stand out for me

Something Else By The Kinks

The Kinks

2/5

A couple of songs like Waterloo Sunset did a lot of the lifting.

Urban Hymns

The Verve

3/5

This was a 2 on the work commute. But on a long drive to the North it became a 3.

Harvest

Neil Young

1/5

Actively disliked, don't think I even managed to finish it

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

3/5

Pleasantly surprised by this. Lots of Beatles vibes, Without You is a banger.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

4/5

Manassas

Stephen Stills

3/5

Decent. But I didn't get fully drawn in for quite a long album

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

2/5

No Guitar Hero tunes on thus one

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Heart said 5 Reason said 4

Django Django

4/5

They could have dropped a few songs in the middle of the album, but I really liked most of it.

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

Simple Minds

2/5

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Some legendary song intros in here got me real pumped. But it can become a bit of a drag

Lost In The Dream

The War On Drugs

2/5

That dreamy guitar style is not my thing

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

2/5

Inoffensive background music for when you need 9 hours of music but can't change the track as there's a certain slug sat on your phone

Vulnicura

Björk

2/5

I don't mind it, but it just made me want to listen to ANOHNI

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

OutKast

5/5

Plenty to like, so much variety. Whilst it does drop off in parts, I've been listening to it repeatedly for the last 2 days, delaying me getting to the Friday album.

Blur

3/5

Pretty decent.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Kanye West

4/5

He's a spoon but the music is good

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

2/5

I wouldn't complain if my Dad put the CD in

Swordfishtrombones

Tom Waits

3/5

Really enjoyed the experimental chunks of this one. But I almost wanted more and not sure I got it. Look forward to listening to some more of Tom Waits. Also felt I could hear an influence on Cosmo Sheldrake so ended up listening to that!

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

A lot of strumming making a racket I often lost what was going on in the song. They have a few great songs where I think the riffs are clearer.

School's Out

Alice Cooper

2/5

Excited by the intro, got bored

Here's Little Richard

Little Richard

2/5

Machine Head

Deep Purple

2/5

Just not going to play this again at home tbh

AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted

Ice Cube

5/5

Really loved the west coast funk running through this. Simultaneously hilarious and serious.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

4/5

Solid probably lifted to a 4 by a handful of bangers and their live performances.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

2/5

Doggystyle

Snoop Dogg

3/5

Maybe its just overplayed, I don't see myself replaying it much more so it doesn't get past a 3. Gz and Hustlas was the only exciting discovery for me.

Figure 8

Elliott Smith

3/5

Pleasantly surprised, not usually my thing

Stripped

Christina Aguilera

3/5

There's some bangers here, but plenty I'm not fussed about too

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

I love Becks Fifa anthems and I didn't realise how far back he went. But unfortunately found this album boring.
