Rated 6/10
At the start I wasn’t feeling this one but after a few songs I started to get into it. Overall while I did like it but it’s not going to be one that I’m gonna revisit regularly .
Top Track - Damaged II
Rated 10/10
Before I even hit play this was getting top marks from me. Love Alice Cooper, I really hope I can get to see him live someday before he calls it quits. As for the album, it’s brilliant. Cannot fault it at all.
Top Track - I hate picking the cliche option but No More Mr. Nice Guy is a classic for a reason
They said it best in Waynes World, We’re Not Worthy!
Rated 10/10
I was absolutely dreading this. The only song I know of Billy Joels is Uptown Girl and I cannot stand that one. Luckily enough though it isn’t on here and this album is bloody BRILLIANT . Genuinely surprised how much I liked it.
Turns out I had actually heard Shes Always A Woman before but the Fyfe Dangerfield version, I just never realised it was a cover. Brilliant song but I do prefer the cover.
Top Track -Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
Rated 2/10
Bloody hell I hated this. Absolute slog to get through. All I know of them is Born Slippy which is an all time banger of a tune so I had high hopes for this. Instead I was left utterly bored and disappointed.
Rated 4/10
I’m not sure if I don’t like Bob Dylan or if I just have to be in a certain mood for him. I one starred Highway 61 but listened to it months later and it wasn’t as bad. Today I didn’t enjoy this one but maybe on another day it might hit differently. I can only score it on today though.
Rated 8/10
First time I’ve had the same artist back to back. A vast improvement on yesterday’s album. In saying that, they weren’t exactly bad but I wasn’t too fussed on the instrumental tracks. Take them out and I’m probably giving this a 5.
Top Tracks - Pusherman and Freddies Dead
Listened to it twice and, while it had its moments, overall it didn’t do much for me. Both times it sort of faded into background music.
Rated 8/10
Pretty good album. I enjoyed the instrumental tracks a lot more than the ones with vocals. An entire album of instrumentals would’ve been a sure fire 5 stars
Top Track - Smokey River
Rated 10/10
Brilliant, peaceful album. I listened to it in work but I will make a point of giving it another listen in a more relaxed environment.
Rated 10/10
I don’t like country music so when I saw the cover and album title and thought I would absolutely hate this. How wrong I was. This was bloody brilliant. Loved it.
Top Track - Big Iron
Rated 10/10
Love me some Suede. Brett Anderson is one of my favourite singers. One of my easier 5 stars.
Top Track - The Wild Ones
Rated 6/10
Mixed bag with this one. I was hating it until Borrowed Tune. Picked up after that with the odd track I wasn’t fussed on
Top Track - Borrowed Tune
Rated 8/10
It’s really good and has some catchy songs without being anything outstanding. Still an enjoyable listen though
Rated 8/10
Really good album, just lacking an indescribable element for me to give it all 5 stars. It might need a couple more listens.
Top Track - Blood On The Leaves
Rated 8/10
There were two songs I wasn’t that fussed on but I loved the rest. Really good album overall, she has a brilliant voice.
Top Track - Half Moon
Rated 10/10
Great album. I don’t listen to rap music outside of this list but this is one of the best rap albums I’ve had so far.
Top Track - Temptations
Rated 6/10
I don’t really get the Stones. This was alright but nothing overly special and that’s always how I feel if I listen to them. Just doesn’t click with me
Rated 6/10
Pop music isn’t my thing but this was a decent enough listen. I liked some songs, I hated a few, I was indifferent to the rest.
Top Track - Don’t Tell Me
Rated 2/10
I’m Your Man - Leonard Cohen
Jesus H Tap Dancing Christ I absolutely HATED this. Honestly it might be my least enjoyable album so far. Two Cohen albums so far and I am not a fan.
Rated 6/10
An ok album without being anything overly memorable. I enjoyed it but I’m unlikely to ever revisit it
