1984Van Halen

Rated 8/10

I really loved this album for the most part but I had the same problem that I had with their debut album in that there is just that one track that I do not like one bit. Take I’ll Wait off this album and it’s a definite five stars.

Top Track - House Of Pain

Achtung BabyU2

Rated 8/10

I’ve always said I don’t like U2 but I got The Joshua Tree about a month ago and I really enjoyed it, even gave it 5 stars. This is my second album from them and while I didn’t enjoy it quite as much, it’s still bloody good. The line between a 4 and a 5 is razor thin.

Top Track - I do hate going for cliche choices but it’s gotta be One.

I need to work out at what point do I change my tune and say I like U2 lol.

Such a frustrating album. At the start I was really enjoying it and thought it was a dead cert 4 or even 5 star. Then Mind Gardens came on and I didn’t like it one bit. The rest of the album was decent enough but I never got the enjoyment of the first part of the album back.

Top Track - Have You Seen Her Face

Who’s NextThe Who

Rated 10/10

Who’s Next - The Who

A longtime favourite of mine. There’s so many classic tracks on here with no duds.

Top Track - Either Behind Blue Eyes or Bargain

While I this isn’t my favourite Badly Drawn Boy album it is still brilliant. Been an age since I’ve listened to it but it will be in my regular rotation for a while now

Rated 2/10

I HATED this. Truly hated it. This is potentially the worst album I have ever had the misfortune to listen to.

Really enjoyed this one which was surprising since I didn’t like the previous album, Sister, that I had from them.

As much as I like The Jam, Paul Wellers solo material has never clicked with me. I did enjoy this though so I will be more open minded listening to more of his stuff.

I wasn’t fussed on the last couple of songs but until that it was brilliant. Will be checking out more of his work.

Rated 8/10

An album packed with Britpop classics. Take away the big hits though and the rest is very inconsistent .

Took me ages to realise it was King Louie from The Jungle Book. Really good album but not quite 5⭐️
