Join Us by They Might Be Giants

If these guys stopped trying to be wacky then they'd prob be able to produce a great indie pop album... but there's lots of annoying stuff in here alongside some decent tunes. Slightly harsh 2*

Chet by Chet Baker

Sound Awake by Karnivool

I should love this, and it's a solid album, vocals don't grab me though unfortunately. A bit of a harsh 3* from me

Stage Four by Touché Amoré
Apr 24 2025

I love this album but objectively it fades a bit in the middle

Moffou by Salif Keita

Enjoyed this a hell of a lot more than I thought I would

Really interesting to hear Quo before they found their signature sound. Good listen if not exactly mindblowing

Weezer by Weezer

Grace And Danger by John Martyn
May 09 2025

Hmmm, I really liked Solid Air off the main list, and the other album was okay. But this just drones on and is uninspiring

HELLYEAH by HELLYEAH
May 21 2025

I really wanted to hate this as the singer's lyrics are lame, but as far as Tesco Value Pantera goes, this is alright

Clarity by Jimmy Eat World

Continuum by John Mayer

As expected, some great guitar work, but the songs generally are quite middle of the road for most of the time
