Rated 6/10
I'm not a massive fan of any of the individual Smiths albums, and if I was in the mood to listen to the Smiths this isn't the album I would select. Not bad or anything, just very middle of the road.
Rated 4/10
The Talking Heads belong to a time I was never a part of. Honestly the whole thing feels dated and simple
Rated 8/10
Not really sure what to think of this, I think it definitely needed extra listens to get my head around it
Rated 6/10
Not my favourite MJ album but still good.
Rated 6/10
I really try to avoid comparisons when listening to music as it leads your brain to thinking about things in a particular way but for this one the symmetry with deltron3000 is too close for me not to bring it up. It doens't have anywhere near the same tightness.
Generally it all felt a bit underwhelming. The beats were good, but not great. The rapping was okay.
Rated 8/10
Particularly enjoyed the version of heard it through the grapevine
Rated 2/10
Two massively overplayed pop songs, neither of which I care for surrounded by a collection of lifeless filler
Rated 10/10
Buttery
Rated 8/10
Kind of liked this one. Had a very strong sound and a sense of identity and you can see why they inspired so many big bands today
Rated 4/10
Art punk without the swagger
Rated 10/10
A difficult and rewarding listen. This album is far out of what I would call my comfort zone and took me quite a few listens to really appreciate and has since become one of my favourite albums.
A little gimmicky take on a greatest hits album. I would much rather listen to the originals but I expect this would be amazing to experience live.
Rated 6/10
Not my favourite pixies album, but sounds good
It wasn't bad, but not sure I would actively listen to this again. I preferred the more experimental stuff over the pop tracks
Rated 2/10
Bit all over the place, parts were okay but other tracks I really disliked
Rated 8/10
Really enjoyed this having not heard the album before
Rated 4/10
Pretty inoffensive early pop punk which kind of defeats the point.
Really good vocals though
Rated 8/10
Probably my 3rd favourite Zep album, which shows the strength of their discography
Rated 4/10
It was alright, don't think I would actively listen to this again but would be okay background music
Rated 4/10
I should like Muse. I am pretty much their target audience, but outside of a couple of singles they just dont click for me.
It's like someone made a supergroup of all the bits I don't like from bands I love.
