Popular Reviews

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies

Based on my methodology which assigns 5 stars to anything that is 8 out of 10 or higher - it’s not perfect but then again what is!

One of the greatest albums of the Noughties, genre-bending brilliance

Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 16 2021
Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 20 2021

Not one of his best but still a good solid release

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 23 2021
Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 27 2021
My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
May 03 2021

A rather underwhelming debut I thought, shows very little sign of the great work to come....

Black Monk Time by The Monks
May 04 2021

Seminal album way before it’s time however gets marked down due to repetitiveness and annoying quirkiness

Horses by Patti Smith
May 07 2021
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 28 2021
Savane by Ali Farka Touré
May 31 2021
Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 01 2021

Total revelation, never knew of this album’s existence and yet it has influenced so much music that I love!

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 07 2021

The best album from one of the best bands of the last 20 years!

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 09 2021
Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 21 2021
Transformer by Lou Reed
Jun 25 2021

One of my all time faves!

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 14 2021
OK by Talvin Singh
Jul 22 2021
Live At The Witch Trials by The Fall
Jul 29 2021

One of the weakest of the early Fall albums but still some moments to savour

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jul 30 2021

3 stars for the massive influence, but definitely not the enjoyment factor

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 03 2021

Classics interspersed with cheese

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Nov 16 2021

I still struggle with this one. If this is the “proper” Beastie Boys, then I am obviously not the fan I thought I was.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Nov 19 2021

Had high hopes for this - a punk / country hybrid, what’s not to like? - but I thought it was utterly dire from start to finish. An ugly ungainly mess.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 07 2022
Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 19 2022
Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by The Byrds
Jan 21 2022

Sorry this does nothing for me. Two stars only because of its supposed groundbreaking influence but this just sounds like generic country music to me

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jan 28 2022

2 stars for the passion and dexterity, but otherwise it sounds horrible

Arise by Sepultura
May 13 2022
Blur by Blur
May 16 2022
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 20 2022

Not one of their best. A greatest hits band in my opinion.

Dookie by Green Day
May 24 2022
Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
May 25 2022

Based on my methodology which assigns 5 stars to anything that is 8 out of 10 or higher - it’s not perfect but then again what is!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 30 2022
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 05 2022
Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jul 06 2022
Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
