Popular Reviews

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel

It’s ok, but could’ve died without listening

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp

If you were to say this album kills I’d say “you’re bloody well right”.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

That voice needs a pregnancy warning and some great grooves, I imagine he must get sampled to death. Gets a bit wank with the 8 min spoken intro to By The Time I Get To Phoenix.

I’m not chewing my face off in a club in the 90s, where this music fits in. It’s not really my bag in general and is very out of place in my ‘working from home on a wed morning’ playlist.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab

Really pleasantly surprised. The songs have great build and strike the balance of having strong core riffs to keep the song together while they get abstract AF but also the slow changes throughout the song mean they don’t get repetitive. Nice array of quirky sounds used throughout. Singing isn’t great, but I guess you can’t have everything.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 13 2021

What the album lacks in variety between the songs, it makes up with energy and catchy hooks. Still prefer Nimrod.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 14 2021

Their rock songs are definitely better than their country ones. Almost Cut My Hair is a frightening prospect.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 15 2021

Not bad, but not my bag. Nice to put my luscious locks to good use with some head banging. \m/

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jan 18 2021

If you were to say this album kills I’d say “you’re bloody well right”.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 19 2021

Gotta be a a fan of some Van the man, while you crack a can with dinner in the pan. Prefer his Astral Weeks album, but some classic tracks on this album

Jan 20 2021

The best thing I can say about this album is that the music is better than the hideous cover art.....but that’s a low bar

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jan 21 2021

Some nice rock/punk/Brit pop vibes but not life changing. Could defo enjoy lying out on some grass, smoking some grass and listening to Supergrass.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 22 2021

That voice needs a pregnancy warning and some great grooves, I imagine he must get sampled to death. Gets a bit wank with the 8 min spoken intro to By The Time I Get To Phoenix.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jan 26 2021

Some cool parts, but gets a bit lost in the spacey soundscapes at times.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jan 27 2021

Really pleasantly surprised. The songs have great build and strike the balance of having strong core riffs to keep the song together while they get abstract AF but also the slow changes throughout the song mean they don’t get repetitive.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jan 29 2021

Found it a bit raw and dark for my taste

Fragile by Yes
Feb 01 2021

Nah, I’m all good thanks

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 02 2021

Decent but not life changing

Feb 04 2021

Kind of interesting but will stick with The Wall and Dark Side as the sound tracks to my cosmic journeys.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 05 2021

Some quality songwriting, definitely adding to the ‘listen more’ pile

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Feb 08 2021

Not bad, but ilnot much variation between songs. Definitely got a bit stuck of the screamed “waaaaaahhhhhh!”

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Feb 09 2021

Not his best album for me, but what’s not to like

Hotel California by Eagles
Feb 17 2021

I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin eagles

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Feb 19 2021

I’ve never really given T.Rex a run, but should’ve Cos that’s some good shit right there

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 22 2021

Nice background music, but won’t be featuring in my regular rotation

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 23 2021

What’s not to love?

Feb 24 2021

Seems to get lost trying to cram in a many weird sounds as possible

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 01 2021

Perfect music to brew beer to

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Mar 03 2021

It’s ok, but could’ve died without listening

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Mar 04 2021

Definitely caught me by surprise, good variation of songs and caught a Smiths vibe which I can always get around

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 10 2021

Some nice covers.....the Canadian Tuxedo on the cover nearly earned her a bonus star.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Mar 11 2021

Does really inspire me

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Mar 16 2021

I like Tom Waits but this album didn’t do it for me

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 17 2021

Quite liked the grunge sound and some good songs there
