One of the best live acts I’ve ever seen. Absolutely brilliant album

Never heard of the band before but this was bloody brilliant. I’m surprised it has such a low average rating. I’ll definitely be checking out some more of their stuff when I’m done with my Ozzy binge.

Top Track - Re-Ignition

I am fucking gutted. I found out the news yesterday and honestly I shed a tear. Ozzy and Sabbath have been a constant in my life since I was a teenager.

Metallica were the first metal band I ever heard but I can easily go months or even years without really listening to them. Sabbath were the first Metal band that I loved and in 25 years I’ve never stopped listening to them and I can’t imagine I ever will.

Onto the album, it’s one of the great debuts of all time and definitely one of the most influential albums ever made. This was the first album of theirs that I owned and I was instantly hooked.

Top Track - Black Sabbath

R.I.P Ozzy 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I’ve been really hit or miss with Jazz albums throughout this. My previous Miles Davis album, Birth of the Cool, I loved and gave it 5 stars. This one however I really struggled with. At some points I was really enjoying it, other times I hated it. Part of it might be listening to it in work. I will come back to it someday when I’ve listened to it in a more chilled setting.

The Beatles are probably my favourite band but apart from George Harrison I’ve never been that fussed on checking out their solo work. That being said I don’t think I’ve ever listened to this all the way through until today.

I bloody LOVED it. I kinda expected the title track to stand above everything else but there are great tracks right there way through. At some point I’m going to have to do a Beatles solo binge and see what else I’ve missed.

Top Track - Jealous Guy

Never heard of the band before but I will definitely be checking out more from them. Really enjoyed this one, the singer especially really stood out.

Top Track - Lately

Never listened to Kanye before, all I know of him is it sounds like he’s gone crazy in the last couple of years. For the most part I was surprised how much I enjoyed this. There were a couple of duds but the songs that I did enjoy were brilliant.

Top Track - Lost In The World

Comfortably Numb is by far my favourite Pink Floyd song. The guitar solo at the end is one of the truly great solos of all time. As for the rest of the album I don’t really like it. With a couple of exceptions I find it quite boring especially towards the end.

Top Track - Comfortably Numb

I love The Blues Brothers, it took me a couple of tracks for the penny to drop that that’s where I recognised JLH from. As for the album itself, I really enjoyed it, some really good Blues guitar on here.

This one wasn’t for me. I didn’t hate it or anything but there was nothing memorable about it. It very quickly became just background music.

I had heard of the band before without ever listening to them. It took me a couple of tracks to get into it but when it clicked with me I ended up really enjoying it. I definitely think it’s going to be a grower so could easily go up a star when I do my second listen later.

Top Track - Debonair but I also really liked Brother Woodrow/Closing Prayer

Holy crap I LOVED THIS ALBUM. Absolutely brilliant and funky beyond words. I was fairly certain it was gonna be a 5 star before the end of track 1. Cannot find a single fault with it.

Top Track - Give Up The Funk, belter of a song

I really enjoyed this one for the most part but not enough to give it all 5 stars. I only got one listen in so maybe with a couple more it will go up.

Top Track - Never Understand

My good streak continues with an absolute classic and one of the great debut albums of all time. This took me an extra bit of time to listen to as I ended up repeating Paradise City 4-5 times, BANGER of a song.

BRILLIANT album, best album I’ve had in weeks. Genuinely can’t think of anything I didn’t like about it. I don’t remember ever listening to Yes before but I will definitely be checking out more of their albums.

Top Track - Long Distance Runaround

All I’ve ever heard from the band is Ever Fallen In Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t’ve) and to be honest I always thought they had just been a one hit wonder. I really enjoyed this one, on the first listen it took a couple of songs to get into it but second time around I liked pretty much everything on it. In saying that while I liked everything it needed a couple more stand out songs to get full marks.

Top Track - I Don’t Mind

First three songs I was absolutely hating life with this one. It picked up a bit with A Sailors Life but even after that there wasn’t anything I was overly fussed on. For the most part I couldn’t stand the singers voice.

Also a side note, potentially the worst album cover I’ve ever seen

I haven’t heard this one in years, loved it when it originally came out and really enjoyed revisiting it today. There’s not one song on this one that I didn’t enjoy.

Top Track - Remember Me

Enjoyable album but nothing spectacular. Very good background music

Really strong start to this one but fell off a cliff at the halfway point. I do struggle with Blur. I like the singles but beyond that there’s very little of interest to me.
