Popular Reviews

Enjoyable compilation of very good songs covered very well by Otis Redding, what more could one want on a rainy day?

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain

Not good, lyrics are not really sensible or well thought-out and the music feels very repetitive very fast.

Faust IV by Faust

Never listened to any krautrock before, but I might just have to start adding some to my frequent listening library.

On The Beach by Neil Young

Mellow stuff, I'd imagine it would be great on a fall day when you're longing for the summer just past.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone

I knew Wild Is The Wind from Bowie's Station to Station, never realised it was a cover. The song Four Women is an emotional gut punch, very powerful.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 13 2021

Slightly rough at the start, but picks up greatly after Voodoo Child

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 14 2021

Not bad, not entirely convinced that it's such an amazing album though. Come As You Are is certainly one of the highlights for me.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jan 15 2021

The opening and closing tracks are great, not a lot of underdeveloped potential on the track listing.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 18 2021

Not exactly bad, but aside from a few standout tracks (Laura's house, Lucky day in Hell) it feels rather forgettable.

Jan 19 2021

Enjoyable compilation of very good songs covered very well by Otis Redding, what more could one want on a rainy day?

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 20 2021

Not feeling this one, a few decent tracks but definitely not to my tastes

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 21 2021

Not good, lyrics are not really sensible or well thought-out and the music feels very repetitive very fast.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jan 22 2021

Neat album! Some great tracks on here. probably won't quite make it to my frequent albums because of my forgetfulness, but not for a lack of quality.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jan 23 2021

Well produced cover album, not my usual style but quite nice.

Faust IV by Faust
Jan 24 2021

Never listened to any krautrock before, but I might just have to start adding some to my frequent listening library.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jan 26 2021

Some very cool tracks on here, all of them well crafted.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jan 31 2021

Didn't understand a word of the lyrics, but it didn't terribly bother me. The vibe of the various tracks are diverse, and combined with the short playtime, makes sure that it doesn't bore you at any time.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Feb 01 2021

Took a couple of listens to get into, but I kind of like it now. The first listen was very rough, but subsequent ones were slightly better every time.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 02 2021

One of the most played albums in my regular rotation, with good reason of course!

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 03 2021

Mellow stuff, I'd imagine it would be great on a fall day when you're longing for the summer just past.

The La's by The La's
Feb 04 2021

I actually knew a few of these songs, but never knew the band's name.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Feb 05 2021

QOTSA is always awesome, and has always been awesome. I had never confirmed it by listening to their debut, but I'm very happy I did now.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Feb 06 2021

I knew Wild Is The Wind from Bowie's Station to Station, never realised it was a cover. The song Four Women is an emotional gut punch, very powerful.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Feb 09 2021

Acceptable stuff, nothing very special in my opinion.
