Rage Against The Machine

Rage Against The Machine · 1 likes

5/5

The revolutionary spirit in this album is enthralling, whilst heavy metal is not usually my forte, objectively this album is undeniable

Spiderland

Slint · 1 likes

5/5

Dissonant tidal guitar twangs and eerie anecdotal story telling make this a crepuscular masterpiece

Herbie Hancock

4/5

Groove is contagious, not unanimously through the album however

Funeral

Arcade Fire

3/5

A let down

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

Amazingly goofy in the best way possible. Also space in my heart for such comical production, I just wish it push the experimental boat out even further

The World is a Ghetto

War

3/5

Much closer to the mark in the second half of the album, I was looking for something longer and more all consuming and I got it. First couple of songs felt like get a sloppy kiss from grandma when your horny, unwelcome but at least it’s wet

Phaedra

Tangerine Dream

5/5

Night Life

Ray Price

Rip It Up

Orange Juice

Fragile

Yes

2/5

Really not my cup of tea, I felt like I was being 4 4ed to death, way to straight and rocky for my taste

Make Yourself

Incubus

1/5

Really not my thing, embodies a part of American music which i find bland and whiny. It is quite something that they have 10 million monthly listeners and yet still offer so little in terms of substance or experimentation

Talking Heads 77

Talking Heads

3/5

Explores existential themes, just not as dramatically as i would like: lyrically but not as instrumentally as Godspeed for example

In Utero

Nirvana

2/5

British Steel

Judas Priest

2/5

A cup of tea not made for me

Nixon

Lambchop

2/5

Not getting much better is it

Goodbye And Hello

Tim Buckley

4/5

Much better, would have been a 5 if I wasn’t so into the rasp of Tom waits currently, I find Tim Buckley to be a bit whiny, but maybe I’m just whining

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

The revolutionary spirit in this album is enthralling, whilst heavy metal is not usually my forte, objectively this album is undeniable

Smokers Delight

Nightmares On Wax

3/5

Teenager Of The Year

Frank Black

2/5

Need a to listen to again, but moving swiftly on for now

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Clearly a great album just never sat right with me, have always preferred their old stuff

Is This It

The Strokes

3/5

Tidy and polite

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

3/5

Get Rich Or Die Tryin'

50 Cent

2/5

It’s funny to me listening to this as an album and not just sporadically, spurred on by nostalgia. Must admit some of the slappers on the album still seem to slap

3 Feet High and Rising

De La Soul

4/5

Enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would

Nowhere

Ride

2/5

Spiderland

Slint

5/5

Dissonant tidal guitar twangs and eerie anecdotal story telling make this a crepuscular masterpiece

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

3/5

Take Me Apart

Kelela

1/5

You Are The Quarry

Morrissey

2/5

The whine and mope morrissey can produce is truly a great accompaniment to his horrendous song writing, they go hand in hand. Truly, I find the lyrics unlistenable and the musical backing has not a fighting chance to reclaim any sort of dignity

Repeater

Fugazi

3/5

Couple of bangers, not as good as red medicine but still one can still get jiggy

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

2/5

A symbol for american identity

Roger the Engineer

The Yardbirds

4/5

Completely new to me and it’s one of the best examples for tracing its influence throughout the rest of 20th century music. Can imagine muddy waters rolling in his grave and mumbling something about honky music when this album was described as a take on the blues

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

3/5

This is my gateway album to frank Zappa and so I feel unable to properly rate this

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

3/5

it’s very apparent how much influence this album and Sam Cooke in general, has had on music specifically, omitting his profound impact on black music for now. The song chain gang for example is clearly the inspiration or even blueprint for bb kings’ ‘Worry Worry Worry’. I’m just being quite self indulgent and enjoying those sorts of dots being joined in my head, my relationship to and understand of music as a facet of culture is beginning to materialise. We come a long way from J hus and Giggs

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

3/5

Blur

2/5

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

3/5

Neoclassic it seems

Blue

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Little Earthquakes

Tori Amos

2/5

Not my bread and butter, so no utter to mutter

The Trinity Session

Cowboy Junkies

4/5

first album i've enjoyed in a little while, i'm a sucker for a harmonica whilst simultaneously fighting the allegations of loving white-boy-blues. Can safely say that the Cowboy Junkies are better than that

Parallel Lines

Blondie

2/5

One of those brain worms, like the Arthur theme song, or something like that idk. Without nostalgia this brain worm is more of a tape worm, and not the weight loss type

Os Mutantes

4/5

Much more like it, a psychedelic circus act that is interlaced with squealing guitar slides and a bossa nova heartbeat. Really really enjoyed this and it stands shoulders above the last couple of albums I have listened to just by its sense of adventure. Only a 4 because no sound from the album is deified in my memory

G. Love And Special Sauce

G. Love & Special Sauce
