Might revisit this review when dark side of the moon inevitably comes up on this list and I can confirm if I’m right that I prefer that album.

I always had a bit of an aversion to artic monkeys around the time of this album. I think I decided they were too cool or mainstream at the time. I listened more to their later albums, but never really went back to this one. Listening now I missed out. Undeniably great album, no bad songs, a fair few fantastic ones.

ShleepRobert Wyatt

Rated 4/10

This album is all over the place, every time it hit me with a song I enjoyed the next one would be mind numbingly boring or unlistenable.

HysteriaDef Leppard

Rated 2/10

Not a good album, in an away I’m glad that this process hasn’t proven all my pre held opinions wrong.

One plus point is that I felt like I was about to watch an episode of gladiators a couple of times.

FrankAmy Winehouse

Rated 4/10

Really not for me. Always feels controversial to say but I never got the Amy Winehouse hype.

EliminatorZZ Top

Rated 6/10

Just through the power of large number there’s some great riffs in here. I’m always surprised by how incredibly cheesy this kind of hard rock is. Did people find this intimidating, was this ever “alternative”?

I really thought this might be the queen album I really enjoy. But no, a few great songs but all over the place in quality.

If I ever want to listen to spiritualized I’ll listen to ladies in gentlemen.. So this is the first time I’ve listened to this album. I enjoyed it. But it’s not changed my view that there’s only one of their albums I’ll go back to regularly.

AmnesiacRadiohead

Rated 10/10

I started this album thinking I’m not going to just give it 5 stars because it’s Radiohead. But by the time pyramid doing had finished that was out the window.

Would probably be a 4/5 on the Radiohead album scale

I understand that this is a very good prog rock album. But it’s just so not my thing, that I couldn’t get into it.

Might be one I need to come back to again.
