Popular Reviews

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper

I listened to this while playing the Lord of The Rings game on my psp and eating mint aero so I think maybe it was situation that I'm giving a 4.

The Specials by The Specials

I loved this album but I also couldn't wait for it to end.

Gold by Ryan Adams

Why'd they keep pushing this cunt?

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

Get's a bit fuckin tiresome this pretty quickly doesn't it?

Parklife by Blur

Fuckin' Blur albums are too long and filled with shit man.

All Ratings (117)

Low by David Bowie
Jan 13 2021

So surprisingly upbeat and felt like a complete album. Hardly a stinker on it. Groovin and then reflect on the groovin'. Don't think I had the patience for the end though.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jan 14 2021

The big man. It feels like this album kind of references itself a lot. Mood shifts a lot which is cool. Diamonds in the mine & Love calls you by it's name absolute stormers. V v good just don't think it's for me, too manly x

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 15 2021

I thought this was the best album ever until Ethan told me it wasn't. I listened to it again with something to prove and it just made me angry and sad at my naivety. Still banging roadtrip album. The Stones x Led Zeppelin and I loved it. You ruin my magic Faith.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 16 2021

Some later tunes fuckin bang and it's really interesting and wacky. Didn't time this one right. Also, bit much innit?

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 17 2021

I was only thinking walking back from work today, I hope I get a Smith's one on the album thing, so I can just splurge on how much I love em. WE CAN GO FOR A WALK WHERE IT'S QUIET & DRY & TALK ABOUT PRECIOUS THINGS.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jan 18 2021

IN THE EYE OF THE TORNADO. Look I'm sorry right, if I don't give this a 1 then the whole rating shabang just isn't accurate. There were some bits which were interesting but a whole album of that carry on. No thank you. Look Luke, I'm sorry. I tried, bet most of those snowflakes didn't even give it a listen.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 19 2021

Look how fit he is on that cover JESUS CHRIST. Production so crisp, like what? Is that Cello on 'In the Ghetto'? Chelloooo we got a bass. I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a good Elvis collection. Insane.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 20 2021

Mirage- OOF! SWITCH! Major sleater kinney vibes off of this they must have inspired them. Go back to this when you want something messy and releasing I think

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 21 2021

Just didn't grab me Nina. I'm sorry Nina Simone, you just didn't grab me. Also, 'my name is........ PPPEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAACCCCCHHHHHEEEESSSSSSS

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 23 2021

Incredible man. Also how many times you seen this album cover and not noticed the dogs? The first three are like tip top openers for me and I love all that weird shit. Contemplated dropping to 4 for the end of Hello Earth but cmon, it's the fucking bomb innit.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 24 2021

Anyone think it's a bit fucked how whenever he mentions murder or anything illegal all the boys in the crowd are like "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhh". A three more because of the iconic nature and event than the music. They do blend into one lots of the time.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jan 25 2021

I went on youtube for this shit. Like it was 2011. Maybe that's why I liked it so much. Sitting in a simpler time. Good energy. Ah. The Temptations!

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 26 2021

Look, I know it's very on-brand to dislike the most sold record of all time but fuckin hear me out right. I ain't even mention what you think Imma mention. Listening to those three in the middle especially Thriller, it felt fuckin weird they were on an album. Such an album of singles and where they're the most overplayed singles of all time I was disliking them but also tapping my foot- which made me angrier. (YPT) is an absolute banger. Felt weird. Liked Mccartney's voice never knew he sang that- the whole talking shabang though, embarrassing. I was also thinking how mad it must have been to see Jacko grow up from Child to death. Who is our Jacko- we've got to start paying attention, Miley Cyrus? It's one of those Disney fucks for certain.

Kenya by Machito
Jan 27 2021

Jon boi would fuckin love this Lisa Simpson shit.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jan 28 2021

Too good for my taste & patience I think.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 29 2021

Going home's a bit long isn't it? Stormer, but every now and again I thought of Jagger and felt a bit sick.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jan 30 2021

Oh my God. Oh my God. Thought the only weakness in this album was the incessant AYAYAYAYAYA which is used quite a bit but it's sort of like a joke that is used too much that it becomes funny again. AYAYAYAYAYA goes in and out of fashion in this album and then back in again. It kept me on my toes and I love this so much. EVERY. FUCKING. TRACK. So much softer, subtle and ever changing than I expected. So much more interesting than anything I've heard before from them. Major heart eyes and aubergine emoji. A new favourite indeed.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 01 2021

'Down for you is up' is maybe my favourite lyrics of all time not because it is difficult or clever but it's performed with such beautiful simplicity that I want to die a little bit every time I hear it. Does anyone else think I look a little like Lou Reed on this album cover? Just similar energy. He's got good posture though.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Feb 02 2021

Freaky deeky and too much going on at times but found myself singing my heart out not even to the hits. Money changes everything. I'll kiss you. I Cyndi Laup'ed it up x

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Feb 03 2021

That first tune is fucking unreal. Last one too. The rest of it is kind of filler. It sounds like most of it could be used to show the passing of time in Love Actually.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 05 2021

Everything about this album is so on the money. So loose and tight at the same time. Cmon it's the best

With The Beatles by Beatles
Feb 06 2021

You happy you got your little Beatles kick? Your little doo wa doo yeah? Well take it and leave your shoes at the bloody door. The best songs are covers and to think these cunts ended up cool makes me feel hopeful for that one direction reunion that's constantly on my mind.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Feb 07 2021

So much of this was good. Real weird and the lyrics were lame in a good way too. Quite smiths like that second track too. Obvs v stone roses too.

Feb 09 2021

I think this is really good for what it is. And the F- bomb like it's nothing too. I want to meet this man, in life or after it.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Feb 11 2021

So much of this depends on the mood you're in and yesterday me was NOT IN THE MOOD.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Feb 12 2021

I love the feeling of this album and how it's so soft. Both versions of Maybe I think too much are great but I think I prefer (b). (a) sounds like vulfpeck. Love his voice too, but I think allergies is a bit much for this album.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 13 2021

When I first met Luke in a crowded Bot garden. Sandwiched between Laura and Jenny and opposite himself, I accidentally made out I was a massive metal head by talking to him solely about Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. That man was no liar. 8 tracks of pure godly tunes.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 14 2021

Another good roadtrip album that needs listening to again. I hope that's his boy, boy.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Feb 15 2021

If only the tunes lived up to the smile and the barnet.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 16 2021

Definitely a bit of a Nirvana hangover on this one but in a good way. Just very simply less lame the younger they are but very few wowzas

The Band by The Band
Feb 17 2021

Yo, I am all about the fucking band! Nice stuff bros keep up the good work!

Heroes by David Bowie
Feb 19 2021

You want the biggest hit of the past century? Sure, I'll put it in the middle of this weird fuckin' album.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Feb 20 2021

Can you believe I've never listened to this album before. I'm giving it a 3 because I think it's worth like 3.5-3.8 but not a 4 and have a suspicion you indie fucks will die for this shit.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Feb 21 2021

These boys love singing about murder and I liked it!

Feb 23 2021

I thought I'd hate this or love this but it's actually quite calm isn't it. Some nice tunes wouldn't be adverse to putting it on again. Such Kyle vibes it's crazy

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 24 2021

69 is too many right? So many of these are wonderful and I think. 'The book of love' is one of those songs that is perfect and too short- just like 'Please, please, please let me get what I want'.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 25 2021

This album gave me a really big headache, then I thought it was class, then I thought it was alright. There should be a list of ones to go back to.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Feb 26 2021

Flew by and I loved the slower ones. Here I was saying the other day that we need a new blind guy. I hate people just saying 'Stevie Wonder could have done a better job' or something like that. I found out that Ray Charles was the blind guy before Stevie Wonder so we're due for a new one.

xx by The xx
Feb 27 2021

If this made it in the boys who wrote the book would've had their heads explode listening to the third.

Phrenology by The Roots
Feb 28 2021

Some of these flows were too insane to give anything else. Admittedly lots of it was like fuckin woah. But this kept me awake when I was fucking near death.

The Specials by The Specials
Mar 01 2021

I loved this album but I also couldn't wait for it to end.

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 02 2021

Is this really THAT good like.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Mar 03 2021

Insane. Brilliant. Absolute stormer

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 04 2021

What a surprisingly positive album from the big man.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 05 2021

Pipes.

The Score by Fugees
Mar 06 2021

No sound like this album.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 07 2021

Even on an album where it's a complete body of work, they can still write absolute rockets. 'One of us' is officially my fave ABBA tune. Wow, what a feeling listening to this band.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 08 2021

What a nice surprise this was. What a great sounding album front to back.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 09 2021

Short soft beautiful

Mar 12 2021

I hated this at the start it gave me a headache. How many of these are covers? Lots of it sounds like bad Talking Heads. I convinced myself that this was good by the middle but then I was so happy when it ended. Soo bawlz indeed

Mar 14 2021

I feel like this is fucking sick but it's like a lot of different elements that were put together for born slippy. I'm really liking it though for a concentration album

Tommy by The Who
Mar 15 2021

Too long.

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 16 2021

I thought this was just okay. Nice tone to it though

Mar 18 2021

A solid no from me dont even want to touch this again

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 19 2021

Yeah. Bit of me. love this and fuckin underworld for a whole thing

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 20 2021

Made me bob my head. Wouldn't say no.

Queen II by Queen
Mar 21 2021

I will not waste my time on these shitmunchers.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Mar 22 2021

Don't you ever tell me what to give a five, Faith.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 23 2021

Imagine throwing two of the biggest hits of the genre side by side on an album full of bits. Was this Killer Mike's first big thing, the feature? You can tell Gambino listens to this. Weird as hell and I think I liked it- also how much did it make you miss Jonathan, I know you live with him but I was straight up focused trying not to fall apart to Ms Jackson while dancing

Future Days by Can
Mar 24 2021

I feel like Phish was born from this and I don't like that vibe. I thought this was okay though

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Mar 25 2021

I can't foresee a time where I would want to listen to a double album by Primal Scream. For that reason, I'm out.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 26 2021

After a long day this was the last thing I needed.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 27 2021

Get's a bit fuckin tiresome this pretty quickly doesn't it?

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 28 2021

As much as I wanted this to end this was also absolutely rippin in some parts and will listen again.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 29 2021

This just isn't for me as much as I would like to be that person.

Mar 30 2021

I think if I didn't read your reviews before listening I wouldn't have spent the whole thing thinking: 'There's no way this is a five star album' then maybe I would have enjoyed it a lot more. It was great in parts but also just not that good boys, I'm sorry, I'm bringing it down

American Idiot by Green Day
Mar 31 2021

Tough. So much harder to listen to than anticipated. Just too much all the time. I also saw that E-boy was listening to Mac while I was listening to this and I really needed that antidote

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Apr 01 2021

I loved this but only because I was in the mood to get freaked out.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Apr 02 2021

Last track, praise be to God emoji!

Gold by Ryan Adams
Apr 05 2021

Why'd they keep pushing this cunt?

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 06 2021

Hits and slow instrumentals. But I don't know. Freaky deeky though!

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Apr 07 2021

Why did he waste all those years in the Beano wtf this is class.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Apr 10 2021

We had a group of sixth formers in my school who were all brass players and they were called basement jaxx or maybe it was jazz on reflection but I was expecting trumpets so this is a nice surprise. I also just had a lot of sugar

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 11 2021

Dearly beloved. God. Euphoria on this one. I like the little one.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Apr 12 2021

If this list has proved anything it's that I am not a country boy and that upsets me untold amounts.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 14 2021

Two absolute bangers but also just a bit much isn't it boys?

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Apr 16 2021

This album is straight up adorable and also strangely summery

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 17 2021

I feel like when I listen to an album like this I start off like 'I'm a rocker, I've forgotten this, I love this shredding shit' and then by the end my head hurts. I went on a long run and listened to this, it was a bit warm too so my head wanted to explode by the end. That being said this was exactly what I needed.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Apr 18 2021

I listened to this while playing the Lord of The Rings game on my psp and eating mint aero so I think maybe it was situation that I'm giving a 4.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 19 2021

This album again is straight up lovely and my favourite Bob Dylan album to date

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 22 2021

Tell you what's the fuckin bomb boys. This album. Wacky 3am listen for me but mamma mia. Why isn't it a 5 star album then I hear you say? Well, I was freaked out by it too.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Apr 24 2021

Nooooooooooooo

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 25 2021

This had more hits than I remember. I've never listened to it all the way through before. What am I a fucking hippy?

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 27 2021

There's nothing wrong with kooks!

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 29 2021

Better than I thought it was going to be. Some voice

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Apr 30 2021

This was super wacky but I felt like it had no substance. Hey, sort of like me.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 01 2021

Love these boys. This one however, not so much.

The Predator by Ice Cube
May 02 2021

Meh, like yeah sure. I don't like his whole thing tbh. Loved him in 22 Jump Street. Schmit fucked the captains daughter lol.

Van Halen by Van Halen
May 03 2021

Nooooooooooooooooo

In Utero by Nirvana
May 05 2021

This is all a bit much isn't it. But I suppose there are three bangers on it.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 11 2021

Too fuckin weird and like weird 90's film vibes. Got that tune though

Blur by Blur
May 12 2021

Essex dogs.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
May 13 2021

You know. This just wasn't really for me. However the bangers on it. Christ.

Parklife by Blur
May 14 2021

Fuckin' Blur albums are too long and filled with shit man.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
May 16 2021

Tell you what was the bomb. This album. Beautiful voice and the production sounds really familiar, like the cranberries. Or that tune 'I can't breathe until ur ass is here with me, I can't hide.' u know on love actually soundtrack is that her, fuck?

Closer by Joy Division
May 21 2021

Bit wacky but I liked it!

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
May 25 2021

If only the album was good as the first two and last song all the way through. Best closer of all time tho

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jun 15 2021

So I read this dude married his cousin when she was 13 and he was 22. Then people were like "wtf Jerry" He was like "She's 15 God darnit" as though that made it okay. Even illegal in his lie. 4 stars.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jun 16 2021

This album flies. And each song sounds like three songs

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 20 2021

You wait till these boys hear bloom. Shit themselves.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 27 2021

I should love this because I love that dude Jonathan but just no.
