Popular Reviews

Orbital 2 by Orbital

One of the best electronic albums of all time

All Ratings (92)

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Oct 15 2020

Good start and end, bit one paced at points

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Oct 20 2020

Great surprise this, could be a 5 after repeat listens

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Oct 23 2020
Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Oct 26 2020

Slightly too long, but some nice parts certainly

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 28 2020

Not necessarily my bag, but appreciate some of the more atmospheric parts of it

Oct 30 2020

First Fall album I've listened to, basslines are brilliant, generous 4 as it meanders a bit but will improve on repeated listens

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Nov 02 2020

I am almost certain that I should give this a 1 but there's probably worse things to listen to

I Against I by Bad Brains
Nov 05 2020

Somewhere between a 3 3.5, will need repeated listens

Low by David Bowie
Nov 06 2020

Literally could be a 5 on another day and i'll probably regret giving this a 4, the transition between side a and b is a little jarring still but both are awesome.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Nov 10 2020

I appreciate the skill and the introduction but it was repetitive to me after a while

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Nov 11 2020
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 13 2020

Slightly overrated but the singles are huge

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 30 2020

This is probably closer to 3.5 than 3 and i think could be a 4 in the future.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Dec 01 2020

Pleasant surprise

New Forms by Roni Size
Dec 03 2020

Seminal dnb album that paved the way for so much more - lots of material on the anniversary edition to dig into also.

The Band by The Band
Dec 04 2020

2.5 - 3, there are pockets where i really enjoyed this but not enough for me to long to come back to.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 08 2020

Very good, but I think Exodus and Catch a Fire edge it

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 14 2020

Class

Third by Portishead
Jan 06 2021
Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
May 09 2023

Pleasantly surprised

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Sep 05 2023

Maybe just below It Takes a Million, but still a seminal release

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Sep 11 2023

4-4.5, has aged beautifully, unbelievable voice complimented by great production.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 12 2023

Love the Bowie influence on this

Goo by Sonic Youth
Feb 07 2024

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought, 1st half is great

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Feb 08 2024

Not as good as Queen is Dead but still very enjoyable

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Feb 15 2024

One of the best electronic albums of all time

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 04 2024

3.5 rounded to 4, prefer white blood cells but only just.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 06 2024

Can appreciate the vocals and parts are catchy, but just isn't my cup of tea overall.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 11 2024

Its a 3.5, slightly too long but rounding up.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Mar 27 2024

Did not expect to like this as much as I have, well crafted songs all the way through.

Play by Moby
May 22 2024

The highs are great, but overall has not aged well

Highly Evolved by The Vines
May 23 2024

Some great songs but doesn't really come together cohesively.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 20 2024

Big beat classic - harshly rounding down to 4 as it has aged a little.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Aug 29 2024

Sounds great still today

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Sep 20 2024

Partial to some slipknot but this is one of their worst.

London Calling by The Clash
Sep 27 2024

One of the quickest 5's I can give, a blend of styles brought together effortlessly, back to back tunes.

Debut by Björk
Nov 28 2024

Unashamedly fun - very pleasantly surprised

Dec 02 2024

A generous 3 as its still listenable - but they really started to disappear up their own arse here

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Dec 03 2024

One of the best albums to come from the 2000s UK indie explosion

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Dec 04 2024

Highlight of their career

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 07 2025

One of the best albums out of the UK - over 70 minutes with no filler.

Illmatic by Nas
Jul 11 2025

Easiest 5 stars of this project

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 18 2026

Prefer the first 2 albums - bookends of this album are superb but the middle drifts too much for an album over an hour long

Guero by Beck
Jun 24 2026

I think there's better in his catalogue, doesn't feel that cohesive but certainly isn't bad
