Popular Reviews

Joan Baez by Joan Baez

not really my taste in music. the singing was very high pitched and light and airy with a thin backing track. not really what i like

Parachutes by Coldplay

one of the best albums. really good songs and refreshing to hear them after so long. they were a part of my childhood and for that theyre something special

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts

bit of a weird one - im stuck between giving them a 3 star and a 2 star depending on which song i listen to

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals

weird album not really sure if i like it or not but still not objectively terrible

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 23 2021

very good songs with epic guitar and great vocals. cant go wrong with hotel california

good songs with nice guitar and accompaniment but a weird voice and odd vocals. not too bad on the whole but not as good as some that are similar

Jan 25 2021

very good album, all songs were amazing but not all like each other, creating a very nice listen. very good vocals and very nice accompaniment

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 26 2021

very good music with very catchy lyrics and amazing guitar. all recorded live music though so not the best for headphones

Jan 27 2021

good songs with a nice melody and very nice instrumentals.

GI by Germs
Jan 28 2021
Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jan 29 2021

good music with nice lyrics and decent backing. not quite to my taste but enjoyable nonetheless

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jan 30 2021

good songs that all seem to sound the same but enjoyable nonetheless. a bit too heavy on the instruments but a non-shouty voice made it a lot better than a lot of similar rock

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 31 2021

Feb 01 2021

good music but not really to my taste overall

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

nice album with nice music but the songs didnt really fit together like it seemed more of a best of album rather than a normal album.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Feb 05 2021

very good music. love the ace of spades and all of the other songs. only reason its not a 5 star is because theres too many versions of the same songs

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 06 2021

amazing album every single song an absolute slap and all fits together perfectly

Feb 07 2021

nice songs with a nice range of instruments in the backing but for some reason the voice just didnt sit right with me and not 100% enjoyable

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Feb 08 2021

weird but nice i liked the heaviness of the guitar but i dont think i would listen to them routinely

Feb 09 2021

nice album and a lot better than other music ive heard of the same genre from the same period but overall a good album

Feb 10 2021

decent album but not really of any distinction from other rock bands of the same period. nice to listen to though

Close To You by Carpenters
Feb 11 2021

good music, slightly psychedelic and a big rip off of the beatles but nice

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Feb 13 2021

very good album but not a big fan of the last song or the fact that it is all live. very good though

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 14 2021

one of the best albums. really good songs and refreshing to hear them after so long. they were a part of my childhood and for that theyre something special

Feb 16 2021

not too bad of an album but not quite my cup of tea. could be better and its a little boring after a while

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 17 2021

nice music, no outstanders for good or bad but the last song is too long. good album overall

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 19 2021

niceish music but slightly weird and all a bit of the same. songs were too long as well - they managed to turn a 7 song album into a 1 hour album somehow

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 20 2021

nice album, not quite to my taste but still an alright album

Feb 23 2021

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Feb 26 2021

good album, something i wouldnt mind listening to but not my go to album either

Feb 27 2021

realtively enjoyable album, even if it was a bit long but the weird noises in some of the songs brought it down

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Mar 02 2021

very good album with few bad songs not quite my go to but still a very good album nonetheless

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 03 2021

alright album, but gets a bit tedious after a while. not really enough lyrics for the amount of vocals as well

No Other by Gene Clark
Mar 04 2021

not my kind of album, its good music but i cant say i enjoyed it really

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 05 2021

weird album but alright very funky music but still relatively enjoyable

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Mar 06 2021

pretty good album, not quite what i would normally listen to and i wasnt in quite the right mood for it but still quite enjoyable. cant go wrong with bitter sweet symphony either

Picture Book by Simply Red
Mar 07 2021

not really something i like but i can tell its good music nonetheless

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Mar 08 2021

good album but not really 100% up my street. if i listened to it again i reckon i might add a couple to my playlist but im not really sure

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Mar 09 2021

very good album personally, i lreally liked the improvised bits in each song especially the piano. the bass wasnt quite right but still very enjoyable

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 10 2021

nothing glaringly that i dislike about this album but the voice doesnt sound quite right and the background music doesnt match the severity of the voice. sort of sounds like a ripoff adele as well

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 12 2021

not too bad of an album but bit weird. very strong theme throughout the album and im not sure its quite my cup of tea

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 13 2021

very good album, not quite a 5 star but i would give it a 4.5 star if i could. this is because the songs are very similar and i have to be in a good mood to listen to them but very good songs and, of course, iconic

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Mar 14 2021

very good album. so many absolute slaps throughout that i already knew and more that ive just found. easy 5 star

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 15 2021

Decent album but not quite my style. I can see why people like it tho

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 16 2021

good album, billy joel is one of the greats and he doesnt have many, if any, bad songs or albums

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Mar 17 2021

bit of a weird one - im stuck between giving them a 3 star and a 2 star depending on which song i listen to

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Mar 18 2021

very good album in my opinion with great funky styles. simple yet effective and i couldnt really get bored of it at all

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Mar 19 2021

weird album not really sure if i like it or not but still not objectively terrible

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 20 2021

absolutely cracking album, again id give it a 4.5 but i cant so imma give it a 4 because its not quite a 5 star - didnt really got a lot of variety but what i did get was a whole load of good music

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 21 2021

not the best album, not a big fan of that sort of hip hop especially the beat - its just too simple and it needs more than just the drums and that.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Mar 23 2021

nice album, i dont know why but i really like this album and i cant really tell why. bit of the same each song but still weirdly good

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Mar 24 2021

not a big fan, just a weird mix of heavy metal guitar and a vague attempt at rapping as there is no melody at all. not a pain to listen to but close

Mar 25 2021

very nice album with some classics. not a fan of the live recording version but still very good music

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Mar 26 2021

really weird album. sounds like a bit of jazz, 60s and 70s pop and then a sprinkling of 80s rock as well. the singer has a flexible definition of sticking to one genre as well and it doesnt really work that well as a combination

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Mar 29 2021

very good album, lots of absolute slaps and gives me a reminder of the blues brothers which is nice. solid 5 star

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Mar 30 2021

good album, not many classics or memorable songs but a good album still. feels like [retty much all of the songs are like album fillers but good album fillers without a specific iconic song

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Mar 31 2021

good album, not something to listen to to listen to the music purely, but decent background music. all a bit of the same as well, not much difference for a passive listener between songs

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Apr 02 2021

i feel like i shouldnt like this album but i do its a bit weird but in a good way. on most of the songs the texture was a bit thick so i had to listen through headphones to hear it well

Apr 03 2021

not sure about this one not my cup of tea but nothing glaringly bad about it either

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 04 2021

really good album. wasnt sure if i was going to like it but it does work well and i do indeed like it a lot

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 05 2021

weird album. some absolute unforgettable slaps like otherside, californication and parallel universe but some really weird songs that dont work at all like around the world and get on top

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Apr 06 2021

not really my taste in music. the singing was very high pitched and light and airy with a thin backing track. not really what i like

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Apr 07 2021

good album, bit repetitive but i like the way the whole album flows through. i like the way that he uses different languages through the album as well. not something i would listen to normally but its very bearable

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Apr 08 2021

decent album, not quite my type of music but not too bad of an album with a few songs that werent too bad but overall not something i would listen to out of my own doing

Nevermind by Nirvana
Apr 09 2021

absolute slap of an album. no bad songs on it and some absolute belters

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 10 2021

not my thing too much screaming and too many satanic themes. the drums are too heavy as well and there isnt enough focus on the guitar which isnt too bad

The Coral by The Coral
Apr 11 2021

good album - a lot of variation between songs and very nice songs indeed. good album overall

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 12 2021

good album, didnt really pay much attention to the lyrics but nice background music

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 23 2023

good album but was slightly strange, felt like i was listening to a crime thriller. also sounded like the peaky blinders theme

Low by David Bowie
Feb 26 2023
B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 27 2023
21 by Adele
Feb 28 2023

very good album with very good songs, quite nostalgic. not a 5 star because the album doesn't quite come together as i would have imagined

Mar 04 2023

very good for background music and all recognisable bangers but they all sound very similar

Berlin by Lou Reed
Mar 06 2023
Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 09 2023

weird album, never seems to go anywhere and is a bit lukewarm

Faith by George Michael
Mar 15 2023
