8/10

First song made me think I wouldn't like it but it grew on me

Want OneRufus Wainwright

4/10

First song is very papers please. Not a fan of 'pretty things', his voice sounds very whiney.
Overall it's too long and whiney for my liking. 2 might be a bit harsh but oh well.

The Downward SpiralNine Inch Nails

6/10

I really wanted to like this more than I did. Some good songs on here, particularly 'closer'. The industrial sound might take some getting used to and the album felt like it dragged a bit.

Hurt doesn't hold a candle to the cover by Johnny cash.

Beggars BanquetThe Rolling Stones

6/10

Take away the first song and you have an album that is 'fine' at best. It's crazy to me that the stones don't actually have a 'main' album and that all their hits are spread around.

Permission to LandThe Darkness

6/10

It's crazy just how much better their hit is than the rest of the album. A few others are not bad but overall it's just fine. Maybe this should actually be 2 stars idk.

Bringing It All Back HomeBob Dylan

8/10

Great album. I don't know if I would have appreciated it as much if I hadn't seen a complete unknown.

"It's alright ma" was shit though.

Picture BookSimply Red

8/10

Very enjoyable, "Money's too tight" and "Heaven" are good but the last two songs are really boring. Much better than I was expecting.

Sweetheart of the RodeoThe Byrds

6/10

Nice album. Some really good songs on this one even though I don't really think country is my thing. Life in prison is a very strange song. Perhaps I'm missing something but it's just a guy feeling sad because he killed his wife??
