Close To You

Carpenters

5/5

This album has absolutely everything. Most romantic album ever for the first 3 quarters, showing me sounds of rumours era fleetwood 7 years before that album. So sonically awesome. Last quarter just lets loose - this is such a good listen man I can’t believe this isn’t talked about more (start the dialogue NOW)

Gorillaz

4/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

3/5

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

My goodness man. This guy’s cheeks must be at least 10 feet wide with the amount of wind he’s pushing out. Awesome listen - very emotional, with a beyond melodramatic-orchestral finale. It earned some self gratuity at that point, and let’s be real a 16 minute song better have it all.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Yeah it’s more Morrissey.

Public Image: First Issue

Public Image Ltd.

3/5

Guero

Beck

2/5

It’s only a 2 because Go It Alone elevates this album. Otherwise this has no heart at all

Warehouse: Songs And Stories

Hüsker Dü

2/5

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

These guys were wetting that electronic whistle. Just hitting instruments never seen before. Yes, most of it is dated, I admit it, but it’s so fun. The fun factor has to be a metric. Fun/100

Adele

3/5

Super dramatic production. I swear I hear an 808 or two. ‘Hello’ is super dated, and the songs that aren’t hits are weak. When We Were Young, Love in the Dark, and All I Ask are great. Karaoke belters.

Faust IV

Faust

2/5

Not my style honestly. But it was a fun listen. It’s the same way lighting a Bunsen Burner is fun in science class, but not fun in a small urban apartment. Don’t do that!!

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

4/5

Slept on Supertramp for too long! Scratching a Steely Dan-esque itch with the instrumentation. Big fan of this - will continue to come back.

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

5/5

Dad had this album playing all the time while I was growing up. Got a Ratatouille-esque flashback when the first track started playing. I can’t rate this anything other than a 5

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

3/5

Yeah it’s got that one song, but it’s not an album that has the highlight in spite of That One Song

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

3/5

Not their best. Just some meandering synth pads behind female vocals. (I say “female” because “women’s vocals” sounds worse) Their best is known. It’s Mezzanine. It was always Mezzanine. Mezzanine is a perfect listen. Shoutout Massive Attack’s 1998 album ‘Mezzanine’

Spiderland

Slint

5/5

One of my all time favourites. Harrowing
