Your Arsenal

Morrissey · 1 likes

1/5

In 2019 I bought ‘The Queen Is Dead’ on CD for £16.99 at HMV. Today i am deeply into my overdraft. These two events are linked I fucking know it DNF - piss off Morrissey

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers · 1 likes

5/5

Utterly blown away and will be rinsing more Manic Street Preachers in the near future I’m sure. Also sorry what do you mean one of them went missing and has been presumed dead for 30 years what.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

5/5

Rinsed this album from 2022 onwards - play ‘Peaches En Regalia’ at work as much as possible it’s PERFECT, the best Frank Zappa album other than Apostrophe, such a great opener to what can be one of the biggest deep dives for 20th century music I can think of, beautiful stuff.

Soul Mining

The The

3/5

Never Generally go for this type of 80s music, it’s never been for me - but this was good! Really enjoyed the latter half, especially the last song that was grand. Wouldn’t listen to again but I’m glad to have been given the chance I definitely wouldn’t have otherwise

Born To Be With You

Dion

2/5

Very easy listening and truly I can’t do 80 minutes of this it’s a little mind numbing sorry doo wop man

Imagine

John Lennon

2/5

It’s just so unbelievably not for me at all actually and I’m very surprised by that god I’m so bored?

Odessa

Bee Gees

4/5

I seriously had no idea Bee Gees - the fucking Bee Gees - had an album like this in them, an hour long concept album about a ship, that absolutely blew me away? Listened while on a gorgeous sunny run and it just flawed me how much I enjoyed this. They made Stayin’ Alive and THIS??? HOW???

Straight Outta Compton

N.W.A.

3/5

I thought it’d be homophobic but not THAT homophobic - some bangers some less so (not related to homophobia)

Ramones

5/5

Yeah fuck it this bangs let’s have ittttt PERFECT album to open a restaurant to. (Didn’t meant to rate NWA a 3 it’s a 4 are you CRAZY?)

It’s literally David Bowie like come on now buddy

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

5/5

Ahhh fuck it yeah it is that good couldn’t be happier to have finally listened to this I’ll be blasting this over spring I’m so sure.

Wonderful Rainbow

Lightning Bolt

1/5

DNF - trust me I get it and it’s great to push boundaries and I’m hear for noise rock, this just very much was not for me in the slightest, DNF’s are 1’s, sorry about that - I bet Jesse loved this album though xx

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

3/5

Classic, but I don’t *think* it’s aged the best ever? Loads to rave about, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back

Cut

The Slits

3/5

As much as I find dub utterly fucking boring this was good!

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

Holy shit

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

From Biggie to Nas I smell your game from here Random Album Generator. Got into this because of Ozark oddly enough but never really went further than that. Great stuff. Just such GREAT stuff

California

American Music Club

1/5

DNF - I strongly believe this isn’t one of the 1001 albums I needed to listen to before I die next June thanks anyway

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

3/5

So absurd but I’m into it!

Safe As Milk

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

3/5

Captain Bee Fart the weirdo you are x

Metal Box

Public Image Ltd.

2/5

It’s actually just not that good I shan’t be coming back to you Mr Rotten

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

1/5

DNF - BORING!!!! If your mum sells Avon then your dad loves Traffic. I’d rather go play in the road.

Brothers

The Black Keys

3/5

I made a noise similar to getting into a jacuzzi for the first time when finally listening to this.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

5/5

Utterly blown away and will be rinsing more Manic Street Preachers in the near future I’m sure. Also sorry what do you mean one of them went missing and has been presumed dead for 30 years what.

Blood, Sweat & Tears

2/5

Strong start but this really didn’t hold me, learning that was the original spinning wheel was nice though!

Young Americans

David Bowie

4/5

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

It’s five stars buddy

Iron Maiden

5/5

Soooo SO into this - very happy that Jesse has, like his favourite song ever, “listened to Iron Maiden babyyyy” Haven’t stopped thinking about this and will probably go into more Iron Maiden going forward and if that’s not what this is all about then idk man

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Bloody Brilliant Stuff Baby x

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

Really thought this would blow me away but alas

Nick Of Time

Bonnie Raitt

3/5

Perfect album to make a salad to but I think that’s about it - had a good time regardless

Paul's Boutique

Beastie Boys

5/5

“Humpty Dumpty was a big fat egg” is a bar I’ve quoted for years because it’s just so fucking silly god I love this album, can take or leave the Bouillabaisse though

Surrealistic Pillow

Jefferson Airplane

5/5

Buddy it actually is that good what a wonderful ride , didn’t want it to end so I will be spending my whole day listening to this I feel.

Medúlla

Björk

3/5

Germs

1/5

DNF - I don’t require a US version of Sex Pistols I just don’t im sorry I would rather an AU version (The Chats) which is, categorically, the best punk band ever

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Enjoyed but nowhere even close to my devout love for Doolittle (which I missed god damn) what a wonderful bunch of freaks - it’s also mad how Cage The Elephant follow the exact same trajectory as Pixies but just do it shitter and somehow more commercial? and that is very funny to me.

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

The most Sunday album ever

Synchronicity

The Police

4/5

Do you know how mad I feel that I’m giving this 4 stars?? I’m doing it anyway!!

The New Tango

Astor Piazzolla

4/5

Stunned truly

Dear Science

TV On The Radio

2/5

The breaking bad song Album! Other than that, it’s not great preferred the last 3 songs BEFORE the boring ending, it’s taking itself so boringly seriously like what are we doing here

First Band On The Moon

The Cardigans

3/5

Hunky Dory

David Bowie

5/5

Personal favourite Bowie album not one skip it’s the best thing ever

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

4/5

Almost a 3 but won me over by the end, fun times ahoy

2112

Rush

2/5

I missed prodigy and got Rush instead ok then. I’ve simply so many questions, such as, why is the first song 20 minutes - over half the length of the album? also why did they use that stereotypical Chinese riff in the second song? Also why is the guys voice so high? Also

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

5/5

Had the chance to see Underworld live a few years ago - I now deeply regret not going this was utterly fantastic and i will be revisiting it a lot I am sure.

Very

Pet Shop Boys

1/5

DNF - ohhh I am so unpleased with myself but I cannot hide my true feelings. I struggle at the best of times with synth pop but I could not NOT laugh at the opening to every song I got through Jesus sorry team x

After The Gold Rush

Neil Young

3/5

Some great some dull, I never really enjoyed Neil Youngs voice as much as I should’ve

From Elvis In Memphis

Elvis Presley

3/5

“HE’S WHITE??!!??” Anyway, enjoyed but probably won’t come back

Caetano Veloso

3/5

Heyyy it’s the ‘Transa’ guy hello! Enjoyed but not as much as ‘Transa’ - also why did he make those weird mouth noises in the last song that was so odd

More Songs About Buildings And Food

Talking Heads

4/5

All Talking Heads albums are 4 or 5’s I don’t make those rules compadre xx

The Blueprint

JAY Z

3/5

It’s fun I’m sorry but it’s fun ok what do you want from me

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

3/5

You know what fine for 16 minutes this got me through a boring opening shift and that’s all I need - what a wild name for an album from an even wilder name for a band.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

5/5

If I had to just listen to this album for the rest of my life, I think I could do it x
