John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band
85

A simple but brutally effective record that shines a light on John Lennon's turmoil following the end of the Beatles.

Was surprised to find it was produced by Phil Spector given the arrangements are so sparse and loose. It works so well for the straightforward, honest writing on the record.

Ringo sounds great on drums as always and I love John's scuzzy guitars. An experience that's greater than the sum of its simple parts.

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
92

Rightly considered one of the greatest pop albums of all time. Still sounds incredible. God Only Knows is the perfect pop song.
Harmonies are amazing throughout. Really interesting chord changes and instrumentation.
I know the mono mix is considered the purist's version, but the stereo mix is 100 times better imo.

Jeff Buckley - Grace
85

Totally worth the hype. Full of emotion. Best cover version ever recorded (sorry Jimi). Better in it's quieter moments in my opinion - never liked the chorus of So Real and Eternal Life feels a bit out of place.
Dream Brother is a hell of a closer.

Black Thought & Danger Mouse - Cheat Codes
83

Absolutely solid from start to finish. Great production. Great samples. Great guest spots.

U2 - The Joshua Tree
73

This is good. I was kind of surprised by how straightforward it is, but I guess there's 40 years worth of music inspired by it that I've listened to first.
It's seriously front loaded - there's a noticeable dip after Running to Stand Still that it never really recovers from.
