Popular Reviews

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips

Kaleidoscopic musical experimentation, mostly inoffensive to the ears and thankfully ignored by the brain. the whiney echoey vocals remind me of Mr hankey and I can't shake it. Something about it doesn't latch with me and the lyrics are utterly nonsensical. Race for the prize is the only song worthy of a single release. In fact a release at all.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors

Clean, loud, stereoscopic. Great.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Hammond organ. Lovely for a track or two but a whole album............

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

Absolute rock bottom

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 13 2021

Very late night very easy Listening. Not unpleasant!

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 15 2021

A whole album worth of sultans of swing

Who's Next by The Who
Jan 19 2021

A jubilant slice of classic 70s rock. Tumbling rolling drums. Mold-breaking. Baba O Riley. Behind Blue Eyes.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 20 2021

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 21 2021

Lovely, relaxing and thoughtful Vibes. 3/4 of the album are quite average by today's standards though and not quite the level of epic I'd expect.

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 25 2021

Rough round the edges but a solid rock album

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jan 27 2021

Miserable chatting man with noise

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 29 2021
Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 04 2021

Clean, loud, stereoscopic. Great.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Feb 05 2021

Gentle folk pop. Not constantly craving it but constant craving is decent enough.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 09 2021

So sleepy it made me miss my junction and nearly end up on the motorway with no idea where I was heading

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 10 2021

Hammond organ. Lovely for a track or two but a whole album............

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Feb 11 2021

Noisy thrash guitar.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Feb 12 2021

Bummed indeed.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Feb 17 2021
Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo

Hms Fable by Shack

Alright, bluetones-esque 90s fodder.

The Coral by The Coral

Nice but not spectacular

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 02 2021

Super. Fly. Yes. Incredible. No. Leopard print shoes, smokey velvet jacket and a diamond encrusted cane is the order of the day.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 04 2021

Absolute rock bottom

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Mar 05 2021

Great pop with an ambient/trance twist

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Mar 08 2021

Better than I thought. Bordering on mumble rap. Still not convinced he gives a shit about what he's talking about but some of the lyrics are halfway decent.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Mar 11 2021

Nice enough but something I'd listen to again unless I'm hosting a tapas night

Pearl by Janis Joplin

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 19 2021

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 30 2021

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 31 2021

10 songs that aren't as good as maps. And maps.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 01 2021

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 14 2021
