Lots of 80s sounds on this one, like emptying a toy box. But unlike some albums it kinda works on here.

Borderline 3/4 I’ll probably need to revisit

Not a bad album but not one I really ever go back to listen to. Another odd choice for the list.

First disco album on this list so far, and Nile Rodger’s production is always great to listen to.

Album got off to a good start, and I thought I was about to have another pre conceived view ruined. But it all slowed down too much and got too sickly for me.

16 songs in 40 mins. If you get fed up of one just wait 30 seconds.

Feels like everyone is having a good time on this album, and the whole thing is infectious.

Never would have listened to this without doing this, so all the better.

Decent if not a little forgettable

I enjoyed this, but inevitably wont come back to it. Always nice to get a shorter album, doesn’t outstay its welcome.

As is often the case with this age of record switching to mono was a must.

Another slightly odd pick for albums you MUST hear before you die.

“You gotta listen to this jack white album that’s neither his best nor his worst work!”

This is very much my kind of album. Bit of a weird one to review because sometimes I give an album 2 stars because it’s not for me but I understand why it’s on this list. I think this is the opposite, there are better entry points for this type of ambient/electronic music, hopefully they’re also on the list!

The most disappointing thing about this album is that “The Fillers” joke has been made too many times already.

Such a front loaded album that I think they must have known what they were doing. Also the mixing and production on this really annoys me. The vocals and drums sound awful to me.

I’d not heard this before and enjoyed it enough that I think I’ll listen to it again.

Hadn’t heard this one before. I enjoyed it but I listen to so many albums that scratch this itch that I don’t think I’ll end up revisiting it.

Pretty good this…

I could pretend I’m going to listen to this again and give it a higher rating but it’s not true. I enjoyed it, but not something I’d go out of my way to listen to.

Second CCR album and I enjoyed this one too. Not as much as green river. But still, a nice surprise.

Rock steady? More like steady rock amiright?

Really not a fan of the orchestral songs on this album. But they can’t stop it being great.

I listen to some older albums and you can’t believe they’re not more modern. This is not one of those. Enjoyed listening to it. Apple Music decided to play “don’t think twice it’s alright” straight after which I think was a little mean.
