Some good, psychedelic soul. Brilliant singing, obviously. Just doesn't capture my imagination as much as I'd hoped it would.

Rated 10/10

Bunch of weirdos absolutely rockin out. So good to listen to the sound of a four piece band just fucking nailing it. Some massive songs on here and some properly strange shit. A classic.

Rated 6/10

Pretty good. Loads of memorable songs. The whole album is very cohesive in style. I probably wouldn't seek it out.

I wanted to like this more than I did. It's got loads of personality but parts of it are irritating. The vocals mostly.

I think its just me. It's almost definitely just me. But Rumours doesn't do much for me. I appreciate it, it's good, but I can't feel anything for it. I prefer Fleetwood Mac as a blues band with Peter Green. Give me The Green Manalishi over this, any day.

Rated 8/10

Love me some Doors. This is an excellent Doors album. Riders On The Storm is a delicious groove. I'm going to be harsh and mark it down half a star cos Morrison's vocals are a little rough. Cool album though.

So much classic stuff. What is And What Should Never Be is so cool with the panned guitars. Lemon Song and Heartbreaker both have great riffs and baselines. The album starts with Whole Lotta Love, ffs!

I think it probably does what it does very well. What it does do is something that I don't need doing.

Absolutely fine. I can hear the Dylan influence. I wouldn't complain if someone put it on.

Always thought this the lesser of Jimi Hendrix's albums. It's not, is it? It's fucking brilliant. It's got Little Wing, Castles Made of Sand, If 6 Was 9, Wait Until Tomorrow. The Experience are the greatest rock trio of all time and Jimi's playing is cosmic. Jimi Hendrix released 5 star albums exclusively.
Great Cover Art.

I've never given Wilco a go. Not sure why. I was certain that I'd like them but something held me back. This album has not convinced me. The songs aren't memorable. The performances are all decent, but it doesn't speak to me. I don't like the noisy ending to a few songs - it doesn't have the effect it thinks it does.

I love the raw production. The guitar tone is sensational. Adam Raised A Cain might be my favourite Springsteen song. Some of it is a little too passionate, though that seems harsh. This is a very, very good album.

Incredible. This is why we're here. It's Electric Warrior by T Rex. An absolute classic rock n roll album. Each song is boiled down to it's essence.

Great cover art.

Surprised that I enjoyed it. It's reputation proceeded it. Yes, it is a little silly in parts. But it's beautifully played throughout and has a pleasantly wistful feel. I would happily drink tea, while it rains outside, and listen to Tarkus.
Great cover art.
