Rated 8/10

It's like what Radiohead wishes it could emulate.

It could probably get a 4 with his voice alone to be honest it's gorgeous

Particularly enjoyed the opening and ending tracks, with my favourite being Eternal Life

They say never trust a guy with two first names. Yeah.

It holds the record for the shortest amount of time it has taken for me to stop listening to an album due to how shit it is. I knew 5 seconds into the first song I was going to hate it. Maybe it's the sour mood I'm in, but I reckon this album put me in the sour mood in the first place.

There are ZERO redeeming qualities in this. Some of you lot will wank yourselves off about the lyrics or storytelling or whatever, but if the guy telling you the story sounds like a drunken snot-filled seal you aren't paying attention to what he's saying are you. The fact that he even had the AUDACITY to make it into a double album pisses me off even more.

What makes it even worse is that I've got 4 more albums off this prick - at the very least - and has added to the list of albums I'm dreading of getting in this forsaken website

Fuck Bob Dylan and fuck his shitty little harmonica. Grow up.

Vol 4Black Sabbath

Rated 10/10

Gave this and Paranoid a spin last night after I heard about the Great Man's death. What a way to go out - having an insane last performance and raising a shit ton of money for charity in the process.

This one is my favourite Black Sabbath record. I could never make my mind up between Paranoid, S/T, Heaven and Hell, or Master of Reality, but I've settled for this one. Vol 4 has Butler's best basslines and Iommi's best riffs and solos, with my favourite one being at the end of Under the Sun. Vol 4 even has their best ballad too. Fuck, listening to Changes last night and again today was gut-punching. Ozzy's voice is consistently phenomenal throughout his time with Black Sabbath, but Changes just hits even harder. I could probably go on about each track individually and point out what makes them so good - like Supernaut and it's main riff, or Wheels of Confusion, and it's ending solo - but I fear I would be here until next week.

Rest In Peace Ozzy.

Wildly inconsistent album. It has some absolute gems, like Gimme Shelter and Live With Me. It has some average songs, like the last two tracks. It has some proper garbage too, like Country Honk. It even has some songs that start shit, but get better at the end, like Midnight Rambler. Very odd

Rated 6/10

Very odd, never heard anything like it, but I enjoyed it weirdly. It's the same weird pleasure you get from watching car crashes reels on Instagram

The Man WhoTravis

Rated 2/10

Someone here described this as "young adult series music" and they couldn't be anymore spot on

Absolute shit lmfao

It's definitely not what you'd expect, and I like the variety of it all. It's just a bit, meh. Nothing really stand out at me. I did enjoy Blue Turk though

I mean, half the time I didn't have much of an idea what was going on but I enjoyed it

Lord knows how many genres have been combined into this one album, yet they manage to seam them together really well. I didn't enjoy the more traditional Britpop stuff though.

This album is how I'd imagine a peaceful rollercoaster to be like

Standout tracks:

Upon 9th And Fairchild (I love those basslines and the reggae shit)
Lazarus is beautiful
If You Want it, Take It (that guitar solo is class)

HarvestNeil Young

Rated 6/10

I feel like the majority of the album was boring, but the last three songs, especially that last one, we're much better

The music itself isn't great. Some of the beats of the earlier songs, whilst minimalistic, are quite pleasant. But some songs are just shit. On It and Lost One are utter wank. I cannot listen to someone signing about how wet her pussy is for a great deal of time to be honest

The messages are good though. I love how Jazmine's put small samples of different women talking about their experiences before each song, and what they talk about gives a little preview into what the next song will be about.

In short, great messages, pretty poor music, but I've heard worse

SMiLEBrian Wilson

Rated 2/10

You know those scenes at the start of a really shitty children's movie where the main character goes through their breakfast routine, dancing around the kitchen, all that stuff, then they go for a nice walk done the street to wherever, sun shining brightly, and has that annoying upbeat music to go along with it? That's this album, but instead of it being 10 minutes long, like those scenes, it's an hour long. I'm not even listening to it anymore and the idea of it pisses me off

Everything pisses me off about this one. The backup "singers" (the ones going dum dum dum all the time), they piss me off. The production pisses me off. The fact that Brian in the big 2004 released this thinking it was worth the time of it's listeners pisses me off. Even the fucking album cover pisses me off

Long story short, I am pissed off because this album does a phenomenal job of pissing me off
