Was lucky enough to see the Red Hot Chilli Peppers at T in the park 2006 one of my all time favourite live performances.

This is one of these albums I really like, from Around the World to Californication is brilliant, with Otherside being one of my favourite songs, but the second half is such a let down I usually never get to the end of the album, which is a shame as the album ends on road tripping which is a great song. The mastering on this album is also very poor, these two points make it hard to give this album full marks, but a very good 4 star album that is one of my personal favourites.

FuneralArcade Fire

Rated 10/10

Love this album another one of my all time favourites. Rebellion (lies) is one of my all time favourite songs.

xxThe xx

Rated 10/10

One of my all time favourite records, so a totally biased 5 stars. My go to album when on a plane, headphones in, eyes shut, blast this and chill the fuck out.

ScumNapalm Death

Rated 2/10

A Painful listen, one I wouldn’t do again or recommend anyone else I know try. One positive is the songs are very short. I kinda get why it’s in the book from pioneering grindcore, but maybe some genres should have never been pioneered…

A great 80’s pop record. Enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting too, or maybe should. Feels like a right guilty pleasure album.

The cure just seem a band I can’t get into. This album didn’t do anything for me, kinda get why it’s on the list though.

Rated 10/10

First time listening to this album, I’m a fan of transformer and the VU albums. Wow this was a bleak and haunting masterpiece. Great story telling throughout the album.

Very good soft sounding album, easy listening with some very nice songs. But doesn’t reach the heights of his best work.

Vol 4Black Sabbath

Rated 10/10

First time listening to this album, I am familiar with masters of reality and paranoid and this is just as good, really enjoyed this even the dramatic step change with changes and FX in the middle. I have been swaying all day between a 4 and a 5, but after my 3rd listen today I believe this is a 5 star album, it’s such a melodic, dynamic and diverse album one I’m going to keep coming back to.

I don’t like country music, so not off to a great start. A couple of ok songs on this. And the idea of the album isn’t bad, but it’s just far to long for me to ever consider a second listen. Can see why some people would like this, and it’s different enough to not get a 1.

First time listening to this album, Iv heard a couple of Zombie songs before. Really enjoyed this, one of the better 60’s albums and I’d say very underrated compared to Sgt. Pepper, and Pet sounds, but maybe just isn’t quiet as good, though maybe my bias of knowing those records much better.
