I quite enjoyed listening to this. I'm not usually a fan of indie music but this was different. I think it was the mix of different instruments

Sledgehammer is a great song Big Time is awesome Not convinced on Don't Give Up. Yeah it's a pretty good album, not entirely my cup of tea.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

3/5

To be honest it wasn't very notable None of the songs on it were that appealing to me, but I didn't hate it. I would be happy to listen to it again but I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it though

2/5

Not a huge fan of this one tbh Couple of alright songs, but not compelling enough for me to add them to my library

BEYONCÉ

Beyoncé

1/5

I can definitely see why people like Beyonce, but just not for me. She's talented, but it's a shame that all of the songs on this album were shit. Difficult listen.

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

I'm 2 songs in and really liking this so far. Overall I really liked this album. Really cool funk sound, but also kind of jazzy at times. Definitely a highlight so far.

An excellent album. The mix of genres including but not limited to funk and jazz with a Latin influence done so well. I had never heard of this artist before and I'm really impressed. I love the mix of some good social commentary and music. Favourite song: (Who Discovered) America? HM: Street Signs 4 Feb 2026

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

I have not heard this album before. Talented guitar solos and stuff but I feel like the album kind of lacks something, though I'm not sure what it is. I have never really been an Iron Maiden person, or a heavy metal person though.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

3/5

I have not heard of this album before, but I have heard of some of the songs on this album. The album sounds very raw and emotional, with a lot of thought put into it. Unfortunately it is just not my cup of tea.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

1/5

Some of the songs are alright but I am not a fan of Neil Young's voice...

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

2/5

I don't like rap, but this was somewhat tolerable. Still didn't like it but I didn't actively hate listening to it. I don't want to sound like a pearl clutching prude but I didn't like the sexual lyrics, especially some of the skits.. Back Like That was an alright song

Mask

Bauhaus

2/5

Certainly interesting. Never heard of the artist before. This kind of gothic rock doesn't really appeal to me.

Achtung Baby

1/5

To preface this, I don't like U2, so I'm coming in a bit biased. I haven't heard this album before though. Christ that was fucking boring. Unsurprisingly, that was a another hard listen from U2.

1/5

Relatively speaking it's not as bad as some of the other albums I have listened to. But more than once I found myself thinking "when is this shit going to end", which I have decided is the criteria for an album getting 1 star. Generally I'm not a huge fan of alt rock. The vocals were.... unique. I questioned whether the lead singer had taken any singing lessons at some points when I felt myself grimacing during the Spiderbite Song. So uhh yeah hard listen.

When I got to the end of this album, I was surprised to realise it was released in 1977. It really has that 90s maybe early 2000s grunge sound to it. I've never heard of the band before but it's definitely punk/grunge, wouldn't be surprised if they inspired a lot of that genre later in the 90s. Anyway, not really into grunge but it was an alright listen.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/RIIsLj6l9jQ Back in my day we used to do 1800 miles in a night listening to this. Thank you America (and of course Alabama) for this hick redneck music. Did this album really have to be an hour and a half? In all seriousness though, the actual message of the album is quite interesting. It's very political, and speaks to life in Alabama trying to fight stereotypes that every Alabaman is an ignorant raging racist. I guess that's probably why it's on this list. It was a hard listen, and far too long with
