Popular Reviews

The Bends by Radiohead

This incarnation of Radiohead is great songwriting before they started to branch out with more experimentation. The songwriting is rock solid and Street Spirit is one of my favourite tracks of theirs

...And Justice For All by Metallica

Classic thrash metal. Doesn't have the melody or nuances of some of the other metallica record but it's all about the riffs. Solid riffage for some long ass songs. Great record but they needed to turn Jason's bass up.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson

I don't know, is this pulled from a clips of a movie or something. It doesn't belong here, it belongs at a 20 year old art students weed party

Moving Pictures by Rush

Musicianship is outstanding, def a 'musicians band'. Alot of 80s feel with the synths used but it's still rock at it's core. The song YYZ was a big showmanship of all 3 of the musicians, all top of their game. I'm not a huge fan of Geddy's voice so can't see myself digging into the band too much besides the hits.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down

Frantic, melodic, heavy, political, fun, weird. I listen to this when I work out because it's got it all. I always liked the heavy factor when I was younger but I can appreciate the complexity these guys put in. Toxicity they really came into their own but this album is still great, therefore 4 stars

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 13 2021

Some solid songwriting and excellent production. Turns out I knew half the record because it’s half hit songs. I would say 3.5 for me

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 14 2021

Nice warm classic rock, some cool bass and guitar licks. Production reminds me a lot of early Sabbath/Bowie. Little bit hippy and whimsical of the time. Road trippin music.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 15 2021

Classic thrash metal. Doesn't have the melody or nuances of some of the other metallica record but it's all about the riffs. Solid riffage for some long ass songs. Great record but they needed to turn Jason's bass up.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 18 2021

classic blues, Holds all the vibes. Really takes you back to what the 60's concerts were like with the screaming girls and chit chatting to the crowd about relationships. Super chill. 3.5/5

Moving Pictures by Rush

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jan 20 2021

It was alright but not really my kind of jam.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 21 2021

I have rumours belted into my head so this album just doesn't seem to hit the same heights. Some really nice sounds and harmonies but the songs never really hooked me in.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jan 25 2021

This is what jazz sounds like. It's jazzy and smooth. Unfortunately I don't feel like listening to this as I work without a glass of whisky and a cigarette

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jan 26 2021

A few big hits and some really nicely written songs. Solid production but I'd probably just chuck on the classics

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 27 2021

I don't know, is this pulled from a clips of a movie or something. It doesn't belong here, it belongs at a 20 year old art students weed party

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 29 2021

Distinctive, cruisy and just great beats/samples. Reminds me of high school. How I could just kill a man is my fav track

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Feb 01 2021

Easy listening, Streets of Your Town is a classic.

High Violet by The National
Feb 03 2021

Great album from a band I haven't really sat down and listened to.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 10 2021

got some absolute crackers on here but not my go to hendrix record

Risque by CHIC
Feb 16 2021

Smooth tunes and bass lines

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 18 2021

Some nice late 90s rock with a great pop sheen across the top.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Feb 19 2021

Pretty smooth and chilled. Not really sure about adding it into this list but whatever

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 22 2021

Classic for me. Great riffs and Dave emerging from his Nirvana chrysalis

Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 23 2021

Hard riffs, stripped back blues. Simple drums that complement the brilliant songwriting. Another classic. Jack white is a legend

Kala by M.I.A.
Feb 26 2021

Production is great, nice time capsule of party vibes from my 20s.Paper planes is a solid jam and quite the standout. Decent but I don’t know if it should be in the 1001 of all time

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 01 2021

This has some mastery of production and filling of sound. I will only give it three stars though because it's so short, it's pretty much an EP. Careful, this is baby making music

Da Capo by Love
Mar 05 2021

It's alright but it doesn't quite hold up compared to other 60's psych such as the 13th floor elevators. This is more of a basic rock feel.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 08 2021

I had this CD in my car for ages. The Chemical Brothers are GODS in their field.

Fun House by The Stooges
Mar 19 2021

This album is cool as shit. Have heard it before and still holds up nicely

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 22 2021

I hadn't listened to this album since it first came out. It's well produced with some really great songs. Nice snapshot of that era

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 08 2021

Straight FIYAHHH 4.5

The Bends by Radiohead
Apr 13 2021

This incarnation of Radiohead is great songwriting before they started to branch out with more experimentation. The songwriting is rock solid and Street Spirit is one of my favourite tracks of theirs

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Apr 23 2021

What a cracker of a first album. Still lots of Kyuss vibes but completely Josh starting something fresh.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
May 07 2021

Frantic, melodic, heavy, political, fun, weird. I listen to this when I work out because it's got it all.
