Popular Reviews

Future Days by Can

Absolutely excellent, groundbreaking tunes and an addictive listen.

Suicide by Suicide

Love this, great organ sounds and atmosphere.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips

It was groundbreaking at the time, and it's still excellent now. Love the crunchy drums and Fridmann production.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe

Frantic, mad in scope. I'm not sure one listen does it justice.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys

Great - very of its time, and evocative. Will listen again!

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 20 2021

Excellent, know this album inside-out.

Be by Common
Jan 21 2021

Great tunes, amazing production from a Kanye in his prime.

Jan 22 2021

Some good tracks on this - "Everybody Hurts" is severely played out these days but there are some gems. Favourite track: "New Orleans instrumental No.1"

Jan 24 2021

A lot more lo-fi than the other Common record on this list - no hits so far, and far too long at 1hr17. With some serious trackless editing, could be excellent

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 25 2021

Excellent throughout - not my usual thing but really creative harmonies and interesting guitar work

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 26 2021

Very cool, like a psychedelic mixtape. Some insane Oboe and Bassoon playing too.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jan 27 2021

Excellent - incredible riffs, an undeniable groove and plenty of great hooks.

Jan 28 2021

Excellent vibe - evocative, finely-crafted songs, with interesting noise bits in between.

Jan 29 2021

A real evolution of LL's craft as seen on "Radio" - lots of great beats and rhymes delivered with the utmost conviction.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jan 30 2021

LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Goosebumps every time I hear the start of "Disorder".

2112 by Rush
Jan 31 2021

I didn't like Rush beforehand, and this album hasn't changed my opinion.

Future Days by Can
Feb 01 2021

Absolutely excellent, groundbreaking tunes and an addictive listen.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 02 2021

It was groundbreaking at the time, and it's still excellent now. Love the crunchy drums and Fridmann production.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 03 2021

Awful - pretentious and not enjoyable.

Feb 04 2021

Excellent - a very consistent Dylan record, and it's cool to see him at the beginning of his electric period.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Feb 05 2021

This was fine - some good riffs, production is a little light.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 06 2021

Dusty’s vocals are great, lovely production. Very enjoyable.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 08 2021

Eh, it's fine. A couple of really good moments, and some terrible ones.

Feb 09 2021

Excellent, an amazing snapshot of James Brown at his first peak. The band is excellent and the grooves are undeniable.

The Yes Album by Yes
Feb 10 2021

This is quite enjoyable - long-form songs but good hooks and it doesn't go neo-classical which is always a good thing.

White Light by Gene Clark
Feb 11 2021

Nice collection of songs, will definitely listen again

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 12 2021

Some lovely sounds, slightly diminished by over-exposure over the years. A bit of filler at the end.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 14 2021

Frantic, mad in scope. I'm not sure one listen does it justice.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 17 2021

Great - very of its time, and evocative. Will listen again!

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Feb 18 2021

Starts off alright then gets a little unfocused.

Feb 21 2021

Some great sounds here, occasionally a bit jammy and could do without the didgeridoo. Excellent bass and moog!

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 22 2021

Great tunes - I prefer Surfer Rosa but this is excellent.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 23 2021

A formative album in my youth - less potent now but still very enjoyable.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Feb 24 2021

Weird, mad, powerful, bombastic and epic. Some very interesting covers too.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 25 2021

Excellent start - a bit long and runs out of steam a little.

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 27 2021

A real throwback for me - a solid collection of songs.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Feb 28 2021

A really interesting move from Watt's Minutemen output. Sounds like they're creating the college-rock blueprint.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 03 2021

Some great tunes here, and incredible vocals.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Mar 04 2021

Some really great tunes, would make a better single album.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Mar 05 2021

Very mid-90s, some cool synth sounds!

Street Life by The Crusaders
Mar 06 2021

Painfully tasteful playing. Elevated to four stars by the epic opening track

The Stooges by The Stooges
Mar 09 2021

Just excellent, raw and at times super psychedelic.

Suicide by Suicide
Mar 10 2021

Love this, great organ sounds and atmosphere.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Mar 11 2021

I don't like this

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 14 2021

Lots to love here, reminds me of summer

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Mar 16 2021

Excellent, great sounds and tunes

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Mar 19 2021

Her voice really grates on me

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 20 2021

I was sceptical of 70s beach boys but this is excellent.

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 21 2021

Love love LOVE

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Mar 22 2021

Just lovely, great songs and lovely production

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Mar 24 2021

Lots of cool riffs here, I wanted to hate it but actually liked it.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Mar 26 2021

Excellent! Why haven’t I listened to this before?

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 29 2021

So evocative of that time period, with great songs.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Apr 24 2021

Very relaxed, really lovely. The production dates it a bit.

Apr 27 2021

Some really cool riffs and amazing vocals, but there's something about Queen that I just don't like.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Apr 28 2021

Some good riffs, but I don't enjoy this.
