Popular Reviews

Thriller by Michael Jackson

Vile

Dance Mania by Tito Puente

I'm sure it was an awesome latin dance fest in the 70s, but before my time and hard to get into without that experience. Now bring on Scooter!!! Lol

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy

Banging basslines which are hard to resist doing firestarter-esque head bangs throughout.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick

Easy enough listening but nothing stand out which would bring me back to it.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Feb 12 2021

Good baselines but too much screaming rather than singing.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 15 2021

A bit dreary and tracks all similiar tone and vibe. Not for me.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Feb 16 2021

Easy enough listening but nothing stand out which would bring me back to it.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Feb 17 2021

Only track I recognised was the title track Since I left you. But rest are intreging and full of random sounds combled together which some how work for me.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 18 2021

Number of classics in here. The Boxer is one of my favs. Worth the 4 star alone.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Mar 05 2021

Angels still a classic and some decent others. Wanted 3.5.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Mar 08 2021

On the short side at 30 mins. Over by the time you feel its just getting started.

Arise by Sepultura
Mar 12 2021
The White Album by Beatles
Mar 19 2021

Beatles put out a lot of songs in their time. I feel with this double album they've went for the opposite of a greatest hits album.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Mar 23 2021

Banging basslines which are hard to resist doing firestarter-esque head bangs throughout.

Kenza by Khaled
Mar 24 2021

Prob big in Middle East, just not used to this style of music and unlikely to adopt it.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 29 2021

Not his best stuff but easy enough listening. Better to come.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 31 2021
Faith by George Michael
Apr 01 2021
Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 05 2021

A generous 2, a couple of good tracks, filled with a spectacular array of nonsence and lazyness.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 07 2021
Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Apr 09 2021

Pleasant surprise. Enjoyable listen, not sure it will be a regular listen mind.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Apr 12 2021

Some great tracks. Must have listened to Jump into the fire 10+ times.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 14 2021

Some good tunes but overall it's not my cup of tea. Bar a couple of songs i wouldn't listen again.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Apr 16 2021

All the same pace throughout, rather uninteresting.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 19 2021
xx by The xx

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 23 2021

I'm sure it was an awesome latin dance fest in the 70s, but before my time and hard to get into without that experience. Now bring on Scooter!!! Lol

Street Life by The Crusaders
Apr 27 2021

Like the title track but all other tracks were very similar without any vocals to spark any interest.

Kid A by Radiohead
Apr 28 2021
Pump by Aerosmith
Apr 29 2021
Heroes by David Bowie
May 04 2021

An Album of 2 halves. Decent 1st half, nonsense 2nd.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 10 2021
Synchronicity by The Police
May 18 2021

2 good tracks of Every breathe you take and king of pain. The rest aren't up to much.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 16 2021

Classic tracks and some lazy efforts.

B-52's by The B-52's

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Sep 15 2021

Surprisingly enjoyed whilst working away in the office. Still can't see me sticking this on again like most other Jazz.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Sep 17 2021
Night Life by Ray Price
Sep 22 2021

Couldn't finish. Got about 5 tracks before I was bored.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Oct 19 2021

Nearly stretched to a 4.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 27 2021
LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 14 2022
Jan 18 2022

Not the strongest first half but Bohemian Rhapsody more than makes up for it

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 20 2022

I love uk indie rock but this ain't so loveable ( to my ears anyway).

25 by Adele
Feb 25 2022
Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 01 2022

Not enough variation in the tracks to draw your attention

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 02 2022
Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 14 2022

Loved 1st track in particular. Almost a 4 but not sure how likely I'm going to go back to listen.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Mar 18 2022

Few different sounds mixed well in here. Who knew that county could sound good with a little electronic backing.

Suicide by Suicide
Mar 23 2022

Dark, nobody wants to listen to this.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 28 2022
At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Mar 29 2022

Highly enjoyable and great rhythm though out. Could easily give a 4 but just don't think it's got the appeal for regular listening.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Mar 30 2022
21 by Adele
Apr 04 2022
Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Apr 20 2022

Do like a number of their tracks but very few on here and the rest ain't great.

Microshift by Hookworms
May 12 2022

Enjoyable album but I'm not sure there is enough here for it to be memorable. Generous 3 maybe.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 27 2022

1989 by Taylor Swift

90 by 808 State
Jul 13 2022
Jul 15 2022

Good album but dropped a star due to lack of new material. Mainly songs from previous albums or covers.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jul 20 2022

Made Blues and Jazz cool again.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 28 2022

Tracks are OK but too repetitive, songs could have been compressed 50% and still had the same sound and avoided the boredom that creeps in.

1999 by Prince
Aug 08 2022

Some hits at start but 2nd half is poor.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Aug 19 2022

Absolutely bored, couldn't finish it.

Sep 13 2022

Like anything which kick starts a genre, better stuff comes with time but this was a catalyst of inspiration. Crazy he had been doing it for years prior to release as a teenager.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 20 2022

I was expecting more from this, quite dated and real lack of backing tracks, very basic. Still love 'It's tricky' though but mainly in remixed form.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Sep 27 2022

Vile

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Oct 06 2022

Just don't get it.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 12 2022
Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 13 2022

A safe 3. Good in its field but i'm not going to be listening again soon. Not my genre really.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 14 2022
Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Oct 18 2022

Great vocals and quality all round. 5 star listen, but drops a star as not all his own material. Only fair done the same to Johnny Cash.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Oct 19 2022

An extra star for originality but it isn't pleasant on the ears. Basically took all the criteria on how to make a song, teared it up and made their own rules, which is commendable but personally don't like the end product.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Oct 24 2022

Always remember this album being really slow, dreary and depressing but once you've heard Frankie Teardrop it doesn't seem all that bad. Some decent songs but still don't get all the Radio head hype.

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 31 2022

Some great tracks and a lot that blur into the background whilst all being very similar.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Nov 03 2022
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Nov 15 2022

OK but there are many better albums than this in the genre.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 23 2022
Murmur by R.E.M.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Dec 15 2022
Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Dec 29 2022

Instrumental master class and advertiser's and film director's dream.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 02 2023

Pleasant enough album but nothing stand out.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 04 2023

Nice but all a little same paced and lost interest. Relaxing though.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jan 12 2023

Possibly some nostalgic bias with this one.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jan 17 2023

Generous 3 saved by some good singles. Feels dated now.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jan 19 2023

Started well, then faded and faded and faded.. right I'm bored now.

Blur by Blur
Jan 23 2023

Generous 3 some complete rubbish on here, saved by some quality singles.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 27 2023

Solid 3 and green light is a great track.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 30 2023

Beatlemania still remains a mystery to me.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 31 2023

Pleasant but basic

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Feb 08 2023

Could only manage 4 tracks. Couldn't listen to the vocals anymore.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Mar 03 2023

Just OK, nothing in here really stood out for me.

Mar 08 2023

Don't like when politics comes into music or sport. However good album with great vocals. Great cover of Nothing compares 2 u. Might have given a 4 if the best song on it was an original.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Sep 20 2023

Not so FRESH. Message nearly pulls it up to a 3 but would be generous. Pioneer at the time.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Sep 22 2023

Sounded like it could have been the sound track to Clockwork Orange. For electronic music made 50 years ago and still sound this good is amazing.

I See You by The xx
Sep 27 2023

Pleasant enough to listen too but with nothing standing out. Easily forgotten.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Nov 14 2023

Generous 3. Nothing stands out but all OK and similar.

Feb 08 2024

Pleasant but all same paced and probably will not listen again. Opening track possibly the stand out.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 13 2024

Pirce of my heart and Turtle blues are great tracks. Audio quality not great but it is a live venue recording so gets a bye ball. Love the art work.

Sulk by The Associates

Guero by Beck
