Popular Reviews

Country Life by Roxy Music

Now I know what this album sounds like I can confirm that my dad just had this for the baps

The Poet by Bobby Womack

God bless this coked out mess

Gold by Ryan Adams

How many albums does this nonce have on the list?

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

The last thing I wanted it to be a steely Dan guy but this album really worked for me. Was going to give it 4 but I don’t really know where I’d fault it.

Low by David Bowie
Jan 13 2021
Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jan 18 2021

This is quite naff but I enjoyed it more than I expected. 'Hangar 18' is sick and 'Rust in Peace... Polaris' sounds like a Kyle Mooney bit

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 20 2021
Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 22 2021

Individually, these tunes might be a bit of bluesy fun but as an album it gets a bit too repetitive. Bonus star for some lovely guitar sounds

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 23 2021

Is this album a bit over produced? Yes Is it a bit all over the place? Yes Do the bangers make up for it? Yes Can I forgive her for Jig of Life? I’m just not sure

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 24 2021

Songs Divorced Uncles Get Turnt Up To

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 26 2021

This doesn’t even feel like an album because the hits just transcend the rest of the album. I’m taking a star away cause MJ is a bad dude and maybe I’m adding one because of the outro on The Girl Is Mine, I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Kenya by Machito
Jan 27 2021
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 29 2021

I liked 2 or 3 of the more recognisable songs but I wasn’t crazy about the rest of the album 🤷🏻‍♂️

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jan 30 2021

This is pretty decent but it’s not even the best talking heads album

Jan 31 2021

This has some real belters on it that know how naff they are and they just don’t care. Sadly the whole things falls off a cliff in the middle RIP

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 01 2021

This is some seriously chill shit! I don’t know the Velvet Underground that well but this album really cements the fact that I’m going to have a massive heroin phase ✌🏼

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Feb 03 2021

Awk it was alright

Feb 04 2021

Next album please I’ll not lie, I didn’t listen to all of this but I’m giving it one star anyway just so poor Muddy isn’t bottom of the pile

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 05 2021

You can’t really go wrong with this album

With The Beatles by Beatles
Feb 06 2021

When I was like 15 and going through my first big Beatles phase I decided to abstain from some of their albums so I’d have something to come back to. Although I’d heard a lot of the tracks already I did enjoy it as an album. Yes, there are a few scrappers on it there are a few gems that attempt to make up for it. Overall, I don’t think it’s bad but it’s definitely not on par with some of the other albums by the Beatles on this list.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Feb 07 2021

This album sounds pretty cool but a lot of the songs didn’t grab me, probably something to come back to tho

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Feb 12 2021

It’s not the same since Art left. This is a weird album. I legit don’t know if it’s one of the best or one of the worst albums I’ve heard so far.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Feb 13 2021

This is a bit ‘welcome to my twisted mind’ but I fucking loved it. 5 Big Ones

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 14 2021

I can appreciate this because it really feels like it’s trying to do something different sadly none of the tunes stood out to me. Sweet album cover tho

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 24 2021

Even tho this is a week long it’s all pretty consistent

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 25 2021

This was a lot better than I expected, I’d go as far to say I enjoyed it

xx by The xx
Feb 27 2021

Had an existential crisis listening to this

Country Life by Roxy Music
Mar 03 2021

Now I know what this album sounds like I can confirm that my dad just had this for the baps

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

It feels a bit controversial to give this a three but that’s just how this listen turned out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 05 2021

This was nice and good

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 07 2021

I get this is the last album and they were trying something different but without big monster bangers (excluding One of Us which is pretty tight) it’s all pretty boring

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 09 2021

Nick Drake keeps his shirt on in the pool

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 10 2021

Mum, can we get The Pixies for dinner? No, we’ve got The Pixies in the freezer at home The Pixies in the freezer

Tommy by The Who
Mar 15 2021

I used to love this when I was a nipper and I think it mostly held up til around the middle where it gets a bit boring. Also, why is there so much rape/molestation craic on this album? Like a concept album about a wee fella playing pinball doesn’t seem like the right venue?

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 16 2021

Aye this is a banger, I think it would be a 5 but it does dip pretty hard in the middle

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Mar 22 2021

God bless this coked out mess

American Idiot by Green Day
Mar 31 2021

Wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be but still not one I’m going to come back to

Apr 03 2021

I didn’t do this cause I’d already seen this one, it was pretty good. Micheal McIntyre introduced him and I think Jack Dee did a set after!

Gold by Ryan Adams

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Apr 08 2021

I can appreciate that this is some mad stuff but I don’t think I had the attention for a lot of it.

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

Had touch of the Louven Brothers about it but I doubt this guy has killed anyone. Weak sauce.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 15 2021

I was going to give this one a 2 but it won me over.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Apr 16 2021

This actually pretty decent, it’s a shame that some of the album tracks sort of plod along but the hits really work. Down in the Tube Station at Midnight is a massive tune

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 19 2021

You can tell Bob was just having fun with this one. Not my favourite but I got a lot more out of it this time round.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Apr 24 2021

Boring!

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 25 2021

You know what, I really tried to like Jimi when I was a nipper but I was turned off by what I thought was boring virtuoso guitar music. I was a very silly child.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Apr 27 2021

It’s a shame about kooks
