I'm personally amazed how little amount of albums I have from this year. Very bizarre

83.84 My favorite Chilli's album. More oomph, less commercial. More rock, fuck all filler. A great album all round

79.90* This is the first studio album from Aerosmith I've acquired. Their most commercially successful and probably their best known. It's actually pretty good. Better than I thought it would be. They're heavier than I speculated as well. I've always seemed to have had a bit of an anti against Aerosmith. Don't really know why. Could be due to how commercial they became at the time this was released, and I've a bit of a bitterness in regards to commercial music. Also I find Steven Tyler a fucking idiot and the personality which he percieves is very grating and annoying. I'd say that's more so why I've forever ignored Aerosmith. Anyway, lesson learned; don't hate the music just because you hate the player. Playa. 06/25

They have such a beach party surf guitar vibe to them. This is the one with 'Loveshack' and 'Roam' on it. Most of the rest is pretty top quality as well. I like the B-52's. 07/26

77.333* Thrash band from Canada. They're actually alright. Let's chat about thrash metal. It's always an interesting one as some thrash albums and bands can just all sound the same. That's why the Big 4 are the kings of thrash, they had decent variety within their songs. On some albums, not all. These guys are classed as 2nd tier thrash behind the Big 4 giants. This album is not up to the par of the better of the Big 4's albums, you know, the Master's of Puppets, Rust in Peace, Among the Living etc. But it's a lot fucking better than a lot of the other albums they put out. Overall it's a solid effort. Jolly good. Thumbs up. It's always good to support the underdog. From the late 80's when thrash was still in a golden period 10/25

74.071* They expanded and widened their sound on this but still keeping mainly with the up tempo jaunty folk punk jigs. Not in the same league as the two albums that preceded it but still a decent album. Gotta love The Pogues 05/26
[First added to this chart: 06/04/2025]
71.285* This took a few listens too warm too. But Lou Reed is as Lou Reed sounds. An original and unique narrated vocal style over pleasant rock backdrops. A decent album. 01/26

Apparently this is his most successful album. There's guests featured on different songs most notably Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Cray, Canned Heat & George Thorogood being the ones I knew. It gives it a good whack of variety which I think is needed on blues albums to stop them sounding stale. This is alright. 08/25

Breezy mellow lovely folk band. My introduction to them. More than likely I won't be delving into their studio albums. This seems enough
