Rain DogsTom Waits

Rated 2/10

I knew he was a “either you love him or hate him” artist but I didn’t know it was because he sounded like that. Genuinely so fucking funny. How are some of you listening to this seriously. He sounds like the troll that lives under that bridge. Tom waits for those goats to cross over. He’s mates with the laughing gnome. What the hell is this.

Lam ToroBaaba Maal

Rated 8/10

Wasn’t aware of Pulaar before this album and it was cool to experience that. Really liked the sound of the album too.

DookieGreen Day

Rated 8/10

I did like Green Day quite a bit when I was younger, but I was mainly listening to the 21st century albums. I have never listened to this one in full before. It’s fun. Probably not what I would’ve liked when I was 12, but I definitely like it now

Rated 4/10

Definitely not my thing. Very repetitive and not a style of music I like. Also the texture of the masks on the front cover make me uncomfortable. I’m not scared of creepy masks but the texture is so gross and not in a cool scary way.

Rated 2/10

The first part of the album was really grating and awful. What It Feels Like For A Girl and Paradise (Not For Me) were the only songs that were at least decent, and that’s because they’re different from the sound of the rest of the album. Not feeling generous today; this is getting 1 star.

Alright, but it feels like the songs are missing a little something that would give them more oomph and make them really good. A lot of them felt a bit flat

Classic album with some great songs of course, but it isn't entirely my preference sonically. I (maybe controversially) prefer Tango In The Night

I like the general sound of the album but the songs are too long for what they are and some of the lyrics are ridiculous, especially Gang Bang. I didn’t like the sound of Next at all.

Rated 10/10

I’ve almost entirely got 5 star albums this week.

I’ve always liked Debaser and the other singles on here but I really should have listened to the rest of their stuff because this has made me realise I do really like them

This Is HardcorePulp

Rated 10/10

Didn’t realise this one was on the list. Love this album, especially the title track and the section of the music video where Jarvis is with the dancers.

Do agree with it being too long though. I’d get rid of Seductive Barry personally; that one doesn’t do much for me.

The Baby Be Mine -> Beat It run is insane.

The game, Michael Jackson The Experience, is the superior way of experiencing his music however.
