Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos

Layla song is a straight ten out of ten. The complexity of these songs is great and I find it brings me happiness listening to this

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 07 2021

Meh not bad not good. Just a bland soft electronic album. Not for me.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
May 10 2021

The review for electric light orchestra is actually for this. I also give electric light orchestra 3 stars. I liked it but alot of tracks sounded the same.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
May 11 2021

This is a fantastic album lots of unique songs, various tempos from up beat to sad and romantic. Lyrics are fun and also serious. I like this album alot

Black Monk Time by The Monks
May 12 2021

Very cool psychedelic album. I enjoy it, its got some nice songs. Not amazing but would listen to again. I certainly appreciate it for what it is.

Melodrama by Lorde
May 13 2021

Good pop songs, I liked the variety in the songs. The production value is really good, with harmonic voices and instruments. It's a good album that I'd listen to again

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 14 2021

Meh, it provided nothing memorable or particularly enjoyable. it serves as good background music perhaps. But for active listening I was left wanting more.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
May 16 2021

Good, fun and enjoyable listening. I like this album and has introduced me to a decent band from the 60s. I like the vocals particularly.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
May 17 2021

In a Gadda da Vida has got the title track, which is a 17 min epic. Really hits hard, great riffs and just and awesome bass and organ underlay. Big big fan of this track. The rest of the album is just like the doors which is not a bad thing. But final track is just epic.

Closer by Joy Division
May 18 2021

It's alright, I enjoy a good couple of the songs and the over sad vibe of the album. If love would tear us apart was on this it would make it a 4 out of 5.

2112 by Rush
May 20 2021

It's ok, I like what it's going for from a sci fi perspective and telling a story. Nothing memorable to me however.

May 21 2021

I really like this album, great songs. Good variety but the theme is great. The steam train song is my favourite on the album

May 22 2021

Great hits and bangers individually but listening to a whole album is hard for me. I love the songs tho, I would realistically give this a 3.5 but on this scale it will have to be a 3

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
May 23 2021

Layla song is a straight ten out of ten. The complexity of these songs is great and I find it brings me happiness listening to this

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
May 24 2021

Good album but I feel it's a bit to long. How ever it's got some rockers on it and who can dispute the stones!

Beautiful Freak by Eels
May 25 2021

Susan's house was a great song. I enjoyed the album. I thought there was good emotion in the lyrics and also the composition felt complex. Nice to my ears

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
May 26 2021

She has a nice voice that I like the sound off. It's a good mix of Ballards and pop songs. Enjoyable listen.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
May 27 2021

Not much redeeming about this album it's rather boring to listen to. I find the mixing a bit off with the guitar tracks and vocals. Lyrics didn't grab me much. Might just be my taste and it's not so bad I couldn't finish it which is why it's not one star.

White Ladder by David Gray
May 28 2021

Really good musicanship from David Gray. I like the acoustic vibe of the music. Babylon is a fantastic song

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
May 29 2021

Peaches!!! Say no more. I didn't know this was the band so I'm so glad to be introduced. I really enjoy this album. It has a good punky vibe but it's the organ in the tracks that does it for me.

May 30 2021

This album is everything about being calm. Really relaxing listen and very enjoyable to have on in the background!

May 31 2021

My favourite album of all time. The songs are composed perfectly with amazing samples and great production from Kanye. The features are great. The range and variety of the songs from absolute bangers to more emotional ones. And runaway with the piano section is just the best!!!!

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 01 2021

Is this the cure ?! I like the album, not anything spectacular and compositionally I find it a bit bland with the same sort of riffs and instruments on each song. But its enjoyable.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jun 02 2021

This is very bland in its composition. A long album of all the same song really.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jun 03 2021

One good song. The rest was meandering forgetful average rock songs.

Third by Portishead
Jun 04 2021

Spooky vibe to it. I like the tone and the style. A mix up of good and soft vocals and electronica. Interesting and certainly unique or at least for that time.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jun 05 2021

Old school beetles when they were at their most 'pop'. Really like the theme of love and romance and the Ballards mixed with the really dancy pop songs. Good album.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jun 06 2021

This is a good mix of rock and some electronic music on some of the tracks. It's a long album but I like it. I had never heard the band before so extra credit for the introduction.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jun 07 2021

Some good heavy rock songs. I didn't get through the whole album. But its enjoyable.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 08 2021

Is the Arctic monkeys before the Arctic monkeys?! A bit more gentle in their rock approach. I like the vibe of the songs how ever I find there is a sound mixing issue and distinguishing the lyrics on some tracks is a little difficult. Good overall mix of songs and variety of tempos. Overall a good listen.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jun 09 2021

Never listened to this before and really enjoyed the mixture of instruments and the variety of tracks. Really well done and very good to listen to in all moods

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jun 10 2021

The adverts are brilliantly British! Lots of fun listening to this album. Some good hits on here too and I really like the who already! Wasn't aware of this album so it's even more a delight to discover.

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 11 2021

I like this old school hip hop vibe. And q tip is a great feature artist. It's good lyrics and great flow. I like the tone of his voice too.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jun 12 2021

Could not access the full album anywhere but the one song I could find was a banger! Will rate it average

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jun 14 2021

What a lovely chill albums. Who knows what they are singing about but it puts my hairs on end! Love it.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jun 15 2021

Really nice album. Good lyrics and enjoyable acoustic vibe. Liked the introduction to the band too.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jun 16 2021

Strange skits in this one. Songs are good though and really good 60s throw back.

Jun 17 2021

What a bop! Great vocals interlaced on top of each other. The production is fantastic on this and Lauryn hill has a great voice! This is a fun and good album.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jun 18 2021

David watts and Billy hunt, two interesting songs! Good punk album too
