Great album, not too familiar with The Clash outside of the title song and Rock the Kasbah. Liked the genre bending they did in this album. Some stand outs for me were Jimmy Jazz, Lost in the Supermarket and Train in Vain.
Not an OK Computer or In Rainbows which are my top Radiohead albums, but lots of jams on this one and still really easy to listen through. Fav three are high and dry, Just, and my iron lung.
Not something I would normally listen to but it was another very easy to listen to album. Also I really enjoy live albums and this was a great one especially in points where she might have forgotten the lyrics and rode it out in style. I think if I listen to it it’ll be in its entirety so nothing completely stands out for me.
Not the biggest Little Simz fan, I have tried a couple times to get into their albums but even though they sound good on listen I don’t ever go back to often except a key couple of tracks. It seems to be a similar case for this album, although it was okay to listen to I might just come back for Offence and Therapy.
This album was a vibe and was really pleasant to listen to while working and made me feel like I was at an Italian villa somewhere with a Negroni in hand in the sun. Also didn’t know Frank Sinatra’s full name and first time knowingly listening to Antonio Jobim.
My favorites are Girl from Ipanema, How insensitive and the Medley. Fun listen!
Superb listen 👏🏼 I actually haven’t heard any other Pink Floyd albums from start to finish other than the Dark side of the Moon so it was a treat to listen. Also dug the anti music industry/corporate world message, was quite funny to listen to it yesterday while working for a corporation 😂
Tops are Welcome to the Machine, Wish you were here, and the intro shine on you crazy diamond.
Just not for me to be honest, nothing inherently bad about the album. Just dragged a bit, especially coming off of Wish You Were Here.
I did like Any Day Now and the mid song change.
A pretty easy listen, good background music and somehow brings me back to the days of playing Tony Hawk Underground/Pro Skater. Some of tops from the album are In the Jungle, Highly Evolved and 1969
This album was a bit on the longer side and did feel like it dragged a bit I parts but overall was easy to listen to. I definitely could hear where others might have gotten inspiration from The Who or even sampled them which was cool.
Some tops were title track, the goods gone, Shout and Shimmy
Great listen! Not one of my favorites by Bowie but had a lot to like and felt like a coherent album. This seems to be the start of his electronic era, but also love the shift from songs to instrumental with the last four tracks. After Googling how the vinyl was broken down it looks like the last four would have been on side B. It’s a shame we don’t get that breakdown on streaming services.
Tops are Sound and Vision, Speed of Life, Be my Wife. Also honorable mention to What in the World which somehow pioneered the sounds of Pac-Man before it even came out lol
This was alright and decent to passively listen to. I did like the opening track but it sort of fell off a bit from there.
This was a really cool album to listen to and I can definitely see how it would be good to listen to for its intended purpose. It’s also perfect for working, and I think might be the first chill lowfi beats to study/relax to.
If I listen to it will be from start to finish. 3.5
This was the first album I listened by Oasis when I got into them last year for the first time (outside of wonderwall) and it is still my favorite. No skips for me.
Some tops are hey now, she’s electric, don’t look back in anger and champagne supernova
I actually really liked this album, the instrumentation was very pretty and slightly reminded me of Sufjan Stevens. The voice is very interesting as well, it’s more a spoken word album than a traditional singer one but it works.
Tops are Jim Cain, My Friend and All thoughts are prey to some beast.
3.5-4
Non-stop high energy from start to finish (although can start to sound a bit similar), I can definitely see how fun some of these shows must have been if going to see them live. I do wish they added a slow song or two on the album to make you appreciate the bangers a bit more but I respect the choice not to.
Favorites off album are Havana Affair and Blitzkrieg Bop
I haven’t heard too much from Rod Stewart outside of Forever Young and this album was a very different sound. I think it’s an awesome blend of country and rock, akin to Lynyrd Skynyrd which I love. Big fan of most of the album, a bit indifferent on one or two songs keeping it a 4 for me. But love the cohesion of the sound from each song.
Tops are Gasoline Alley, Jo’s Lament, You’re my girl
Another artist I’ve never heard of but glad I got to listen to this album. It was a treat to listen to with good headphones, the instrumentation was really pretty and her voice was great as well. Also after some background digging on why I haven’t heard of her it’s a shame she stepped away from music. Also on a lot of the tracks you can here some of the personal struggles she was going through while not coming out yet in a time where homophobia was still very rampant, especially in the country scene.
Overall awesome listen, I think the only thing keeping it from a 5 for me is I need to be in a specific mood to go back to it as with most country music. Top tracks are Save Me, Miss Chatelaine, Outside Myself and Constant Craving
It was a solid punk album. Lots of songs packed into 45 minutes, all very quick hitting and pretty fun to listen to. Nothing completely stands out so it’s a 3 for me.
It was interesting to hear the debut from Bjork, I like her features on some recent music and collaborations she has done with Rosalia. She has such an interesting voice, and I enjoyed listening through the album for the most part. Nothing blew me away but it was a cool concept album where it felt like I was going through a club with them that had a few genres in display.
