Popular Reviews

I think this is pretty great, its varied enough that it kept my interest the entire time, street worm is a certified banger and I've added to my general playlist. Few duff tracks but enjoyed more than I disliked

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

Musically this was great, and I am sure based on the wiki that this tells a great story, however partly due to the language barrier it wasn't for me

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette

Dripping in 90s cheese, when it hits is very good, but when it misses its downright awful. It hits more than misses but I cannot shake the feeling that computers are working overtime to give it that sound. It's a 3

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

Straight up, this shouldn't be on this list, its more audio book than album, and the same song is played twice...

1-Star Albums (55)

All Ratings (1089)

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
May 10 2021

This is a fantastic album with some incredible talent behind it. Highlights are bombtrack, know your enemy and wakeup

Soul Mining by The The
May 11 2021

This album is fine, I really enjoyed the piano solo at end of uncertian smiles, not sure I would choose to listen to this again but I found it mostly inoffensive if not a product of its time

May 12 2021

I enjoyed aspects of this album, it has very poignant meaning which also feels so relevant in today's world, but as an entire album I am not sure its for me. It reminded me of the Donald Glover stand up skit about old rap and buying a hat

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 13 2021

I feel like I should have liked this album more than I did. It was a bit to country for my taste, had to control myself from yelling yeehaw a few times

Manassas by Stephen Stills
May 14 2021

Its a tad too Christian/southern rock for my taste. I dont think it's bad, just not what I wanted to listen to this morning

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
May 17 2021

This was enjoyable, highlight track was traveling light for me, its not the best driving to work on Friday morning music but can see myself listening too again.

Dummy by Portishead
May 18 2021

Fantastic album, some real highlights and well know "hits" deffo have to be in a certain mood to listen to this but we'll worth it

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
May 19 2021

Ehhhh, its country music, I don't like country music, this was always going to be a struggle for me if I had to pick a highlight it would have been can't let go but unlikely I will ever listen to again

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
May 20 2021

This was great, I was deeply concerned when the first few songs were go back to Africa and master race rock... however this was a great listen with many standouts weekend and cars and girls

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
May 21 2021

I described this album as the monster mash song, not as good, too much kazoo. Inspite of all that I did enjoy parts of this album

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
May 24 2021

This is not the album to listen too when you've just had your second covid jab, you're heading to work feeling awful, and you need a pick-me-up. Inspite of that, its fine, it's Leonard Cohen doing his stuff....2.5

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
May 25 2021

Smoking room kinda jazz, I dug it, not sure if I would listen again but it was enjoyable

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
May 28 2021

Incredible album the whole way through, if I had to give it a complaint, the last track is a bit shit but overall loved it

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
May 31 2021

I liked the first song, rest was a bit samey, not bad, doubt I would listen to again

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jun 01 2021

Fine, if unspectacular

Bossanova by Pixies
Jun 02 2021

I feel I should like this more than I did, but I find the prixies a bit samey and never got the hype. Maybe I am a bad pixies fan as I only really like the hits. Highlight is probably is she weird

Kid A by Radiohead
Jun 03 2021

Do you like radiohead? Then you will probably like this album. It's fine but I "don't get" the radiohead hype myself. Highlights are optimistic and idioteque

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jun 04 2021

So I had pixies earlier this week. I didn't hate that album but didn't love it either. Exact same reaction to this. It's fine, highlight track is headache

Suede by Suede
Jun 07 2021

Strange brit poprock mix from early 90s. Was expecting blur/oasis got weird hybrid thing...didn't hate it, think I would have preferred blur or oasis

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jun 08 2021

Some greats here.. alot of fluff, I find Metallica take ages to get to meat of song. One is a banger though

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jun 09 2021

I enjoyed this alot more than expected, kinda felt like what the 90s would put over the Charlie's angels TV show

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jun 10 2021

This was a tricky one for me to rate, her voice is incredible, I just don't like the style of music it's applied too. Although busy being blue is a great trac

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jun 11 2021

This was great, not listened to this artist before will check out more of their stuff Jane says and summertime rolls where highlights

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jun 15 2021

I enjoyed this for a Monday, it was very chilled and sounded like it should be over a movie. Not too sure I get why it's on this list

Jun 16 2021

Yep 80s pop loved this. Reminded me of GTA Vice City. Posion Arrow is a banger

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 17 2021

69 loves songs! 2hrs52mins. I get that these were like anti love songs but it still went on for too long and it's the first album I havent completed

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jun 21 2021

Yeah enjoyed this American pop-punk.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 22 2021

Fantastic album with really great hits. Love she's so lose and the classic alright

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jun 23 2021

A tad too ambient for me, not bad just not what I wanted

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Jun 24 2021

I wanted to like this so bad, but every song just had something that annoyed me, from the random different voice singing 1 word to the guitar being made to scream, did not love

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jun 28 2021

Yeah I unironically like Bon Jovi, its probably rock for your mum but it's harmless hair rock which is fun, enjoyed this album even if he is a bit of a bell

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jun 30 2021

This was weird, fun but weird. I didn't super love this but far from hating it. Weird mix of ambient background music interspersed with metal/rap/country

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jul 01 2021

This was pretty solid, almost the definition of post punk rock kinda. Will likely listen to again

Cross by Justice
Jul 02 2021

Great album, like daft punk but less interesting, not a slight would listen to again

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 06 2021

Classic music which reminded me of all the fallout games. Great, unlikely to listen too again but still very solid

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jul 07 2021

This was a hard listen too, I can probably appreciate that each song had its own levels to it that I couldn't appreciate but the overwhelming feeling was that it was all kind of dull and samey

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jul 08 2021

Am I glad I listened to this? Yes, did I enjoy this...not to sure. I really like the concept and theory, just not sure if it can be executed

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 09 2021

My first 5 star, had never listened to this and loved every song

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jul 12 2021

A little to country not enough rock and roll

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jul 13 2021

Its pretty solid, someone pointed out to me that meg white is a very basic drummer and listening to this I think I agree. She's significantly more talented than me but doesn't feel like she adds anything to the album

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jul 14 2021

The fact I had to check to make sure there wasn't something wrong with the car while listening to this says it all I feel

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 15 2021

Heavy nu metal from my childhood, enjoyed this, deffo reminded me of being an angst riddled teenager

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jul 16 2021

Yeah really enjoyed this, great Bob Dylan album to start

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 19 2021

Great pop album, can't really pick any huge standout tracks but enjoyed pretty much all of it

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jul 22 2021
Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 23 2021

My first beatles album and it was pretty much what I expected

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jul 30 2021

Old rap, its fine, I liked being able to hear the original samples of some more recent/popular songs. But same story with old rap, doesn't feel like it has much of a story to tell

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Aug 02 2021

I dont enjoy country music, went into this knowing I wouldn't enjoy it. However, it's no where near as obnoxious as I thought

Kala by M.I.A.
Aug 06 2021

Daft punk less French more Birmingham

Harvest by Neil Young
Aug 09 2021
The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Aug 10 2021

Always thought I'd listened to Rau Charles but I haven't....turns out it's exactly how I imagined it

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Aug 11 2021

Aug 13 2021

Yeah this was paint by numbers rock and roll, throughly enjoyed

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Aug 17 2021

Enjoyed this alot, did not expect to. Probably the best of this type of music

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 18 2021

Trod a line between genius and annoying

Sister by Sonic Youth
Aug 19 2021

Enjoyable, when it's good it was great but the bad was awful

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Aug 20 2021

Really enjoyed this, daft punk but more 90s

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 23 2021

Ehhhhh, this was very jazz heavy. It wasn't bad but can't think when I would ever listen too again

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Aug 25 2021

Very very forgettable

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 26 2021

One man and his acoustic guitar.. not bad but not soothing I will listen to again

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 30 2021

This was pretty good, running up the Hill was highlight.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Aug 31 2021

Odd, didn't hate it but unlikely to listen to again

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Sep 01 2021

This was solid, some great hits and have a soft spot for blondie anyways

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Sep 02 2021

Fantastic chilled album which will be played again

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Sep 03 2021

Great album starts off strong but gets weaker as it continues, still reccomended

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Sep 06 2021

Disappointingly dull

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Sep 07 2021

This is possibly great but I didn't get it

Spiderland by Slint
Sep 08 2021

Weird, just a guy talking and then some good music overall didn't dig it

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 10 2021

This was solid, knew some tracks from this album but over all great album

Sep 14 2021

Yeah this was very funky and had some great tracks in there, also my favorite song title ever

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Sep 15 2021

When I got this I rolled my eyes and groaned. It's actually really solid, California Dreamin' is a banger

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Sep 16 2021

Holy shit this was a surprise, I hated the other album, this one was fantastic

Woodface by Crowded House
Sep 17 2021

Odd, this had some good songs and some real shitty, four seasons in one day reminds me of school

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Sep 20 2021

I love this album

Sep 22 2021

Yeah, this hits pretty hard. Cream is a obvious highlight. Biggest gripe, they seem to do the register before every song, turning a 3 min song into a 6 min song

Odessa by Bee Gees
Sep 23 2021

Unsurprisingly this wasn't good. Some of the music was tolerable but the wobbly voice was awful

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Sep 24 2021

Dull, uninspired trash. Each song goes on for 8 mins too long. And the album outstays its welcome

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Sep 27 2021

Paint by numbers but still solid

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 28 2021

Yeah pretty solid stuff

Melodrama by Lorde
Sep 29 2021

Unexpectedly great

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 30 2021

Average, the good is well know and the rest is fine, if not a bit samey

Oct 04 2021

This is pretty great, I feel like it's every Jamiroquai album but still great

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 05 2021

This was fine but felt very safe

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Oct 06 2021

The suggested album goes on far too long, it's pretty good to start then drags quiet badly

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 07 2021

Really unsure what to rate this, I think its probably better than I give it credit for m, but Jesus it's dour. Will have to come back to this again one day

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Oct 08 2021

Grrrl punk is a genre I wish to know more about, this was a fine introduction although at times I found her voice a bit wobbly

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 11 2021

Pretty standard verve, hits are the standouts

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Oct 12 2021

She has an great voice, some of the tracks are a bit shit though, starts strong and falls off from there

More Specials by The Specials
Oct 13 2021

Enjoyed this, not the right weather or time of year for casual ska but still a great album

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Oct 15 2021

Ehhh, she's got a great voice, some tracks were good some just washed over me

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Oct 18 2021

I love this album and think it's her best work

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 19 2021

Pretty much definition of American pop punk, fun

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Oct 20 2021

Fantastic from start to finish

GREY Area by Little Simz
Oct 21 2021

Great with some hard hitting lyrics, will listen to again

Murmur by R.E.M.
Oct 26 2021

This wasn't as bad as I expected, it had some interesting songs and was more rocky than whiney

The Stooges by The Stooges
Oct 27 2021

Fine, second song was banger but mostly fluff

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Oct 28 2021

Fluff, not really enjoyable

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 01 2021

Yeah this was great

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 08 2021

Yeah prettyvsolid stuff

The Yes Album by Yes
Nov 09 2021

Solid but every song went on for a bit too long, still enjoyed. Also me and Mick got this album at same time

Nov 10 2021

This was odd, I felt like I should have enjoyed this but I didn't. It makes me wonder why/hope we get names like scroobius pip on here but I somehow doubt it

Snivilisation by Orbital
Nov 11 2021

Techno 101, very inoffensive but hardly genre defining

New Wave by The Auteurs
Nov 12 2021

The last 3 tracks were bangers rest was very forgettable

Face to Face by The Kinks
Nov 15 2021

Yeah pretty much what the kinks are great stuff

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Nov 16 2021

I hate live albums, this was a rare exception. Brilliant

Damaged by Black Flag
Nov 17 2021

Very solid enjoyable thrash punk

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 18 2021

Great punk even if some of it feels a bit false

Kimono My House by Sparks
Nov 19 2021

This felt like weird kids music I kept expecting Carol vorderman to come out and teach me my 3x table

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 23 2021

Fabulous example of punk, really enjoyed, just the right legnth

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Nov 24 2021

Solid stuff, thought I would just like the hits, then a great sax hit and I was sold

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Nov 25 2021

This blew me away, then I read the back story and wiki

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Nov 26 2021

Felt a bit like my first Dylan, easy listening and great stuff

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Nov 29 2021

This was fine, I don't get Jazz really so if you asked me why this was better than any of the other Jazz I had, I wouldn't have an answer

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Nov 30 2021

Started strong then just wafted off into nothingness. Not bad just parts that were forgotten

Faust IV by Faust
Dec 01 2021

Never heard of krautrock, probably never going too again, repeated beats for 7 mins, not my jam

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Dec 02 2021

This was great 90s pop, Madonna voice is incredible

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 03 2021

Very interesting album, great history behind it

Phrenology by The Roots
Dec 06 2021

Great R&B beats with some solid rap over the top, great stuff

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Dec 07 2021

Great stuff, oasis but with more of a kick to it

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Dec 08 2021

Had some good stand out tracks that reminded me of early 2000s kerrange. Most was just forgettable though

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Dec 10 2021

I really struggle to know why this Sinatra album is on vs any other. It's fine but it's all a bit samey to me , at least it played round Christmas

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Dec 14 2021

Most of this passed me by with a few decent tracks

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Dec 17 2021

Great stuff, thin Lizzy meets wolf mother, first track is exceptional

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Dec 20 2021

Terrible, only decent track was the shaft theme

American Idiot by Green Day
Dec 21 2021

Super overplayed album for me. It's probably good, I'm just jaded.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Dec 22 2021

Not my jam

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jan 05 2022

Great German rock, reminded me of Ramstein

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jan 06 2022

Not awful but a bit samey, just kinda droned on at times

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jan 07 2022

Lyrically pretty interesting, not sure I'd listen to again

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 10 2022

Lyrically this was fire....musically was a bit samey

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jan 12 2022

This is very catchy....but so is Covid

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jan 14 2022

What's this? A radiohead album I don't full dull and actively enjoy.. It really is the end of times

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 17 2022

Coldest take in the world. This album is good, imagine is fine but reminds of the cringe viral video at start of covid.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Jan 20 2022

This took far too long to get anywhere even remotely interesting. Not for me

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 24 2022

Musically this was great, and I am sure based on the wiki that this tells a great story, however partly due to the language barrier it wasn't for me

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jan 25 2022

It waffled on for far too long

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jan 26 2022

Wavering between a 3-4, biggest issue is each song goes on too long however le freak is a banger

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 27 2022

The gets a 3 based on the album track. The rest just kinda blends into nothingness its not bad but its not earth shattering

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jan 28 2022

Utter wank, this holds the "award" of being one of so far 2 albums I couldn't finish. His voice, the "music" and the whole premise behind the album was awful, if I could give zero I would, nothing enjoyable about this at all

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 31 2022

This was okay, I am not sure what doesn't click with me on this but it just seems fine...

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Feb 01 2022

Far too cool for a Monday in January, still this was decent although suffered from Mr Hayes refusal to sing for parts and instead talk for 8 mins

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 02 2022

This was surprisingly great, really reminded me of early dropkick murphys

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Feb 03 2022

Wish.com version of oasis/blur. Very good though

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Feb 04 2022

My wife made me a cake once, she threw all the ingredients into a bowl, mixed and tossed it into oven. 30 mins later we had some bits of really good cake, but most was just a raw flour and egg mess.

The Band by The Band
Feb 07 2022

Not as good as the pink one but still good

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 08 2022

Trippy, groovy, fantastic. The noises hendrix squeals out of his guitar blow my mind

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Feb 09 2022

Yeah great 90s early 2000s rap. Lyrically great, amazing voice and some real gems

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Feb 10 2022

Not as good as I was hoping. I think it should be a 4 but I know I'll never listen to it again so getting a 3

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Feb 11 2022

This was good, but all I could think was audioslave is better, not sure I'd listen to again because of how much I prefer audioslave. Chris Cornell is a legend though RIP

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 14 2022

I really enjoyed this, lyrically hard hitting, highlight were ballard of a thin man and tombstone blues. I do totally get why people don't dig his voice, but it works for me

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 15 2022

I just dont get it, this has really divided opinions where most people I've spoken too hate this, but the Internet adores it and I just find it boring. At least if it was bad I would have something to say about it

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Feb 17 2022

I really don't get it. One of the songs I had to mute because it was squeeling and I thought something was wrong with my car

Leftism by Leftfield
Feb 18 2022

Ibiza cream classic, this was pretty great and a change from what I've been getting recently

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Feb 21 2022

Lyrically intretsing, my main thought however was this should have been the soundtrack for the rip off version of nightmare before christmas

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 22 2022

Is this the definition of swamp rock? It better than the other album I listened to, but still not for me. Less obnoxious then I expected however

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 23 2022

Dripping in 90s cheese, when it hits is very good, but when it misses its downright awful. It hits more than misses but I cannot shake the feeling that computers are working overtime to give it that sound. It's a 3

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 24 2022

America...fuck yeah. This was good tbf, really enjoyed dancing in the dark

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 25 2022

Yep, this impressed me alot more than I anticipated. Its a bit dad rock but turns out I quiet like that. The first song immediately got it turned up

Revolver by Beatles
Feb 28 2022

Fantastic, Eleanor Rigby is a tune and yellow submarine reminds me of being 10 singing it a at school

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 01 2022

Incredible album, my favorite the who album so far.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Mar 08 2022

Better than I expected, but I don't love Ozzys voice.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Mar 09 2022

Dripping in 80s cheese but much better than I thought it was going to be

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Mar 11 2022

Powerful, hard hitting metal, iconic if not slightly showing its age in some places

Sound Affects by The Jam
Mar 14 2022

That's entertainment. Enjoyable albeit slightly same and safe at times

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 15 2022

Dull and kinda weird, not my thing

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Mar 16 2022

People have described this as experimental. I'm more in the obnoxious camp, his voice never seems to sync up with the music and is all over the place

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 18 2022

Powerful voice, gets a bit nothingy at points but still good stuff

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Mar 21 2022

I think there are better Stevie Wonder albums to come, this is fine, if not a tad forgettable

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Mar 22 2022

I felt like this was the start of a punk movement, but then I saw when it came out so now not sure. Its enjoyable enough but doubt I'll listen again

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Mar 23 2022

Largely forgettable, I'm sure there's a better rod Stewart album out there, his voice us very unique

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 24 2022

I didnt enjoy this, it washed over me and I have no real memory of it at all

The Score by Fugees
Mar 28 2022

I enjoyed this, my directors mocked me for enjoying it and I'm still not sure why.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 30 2022

Started off strong, got weak then got better

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 31 2022

Holy shit our house is a annoying as fuck song.

Apr 01 2022

So I like it alot more than I expected too. I still think freebird goes on for far too long, but simple man is very good. I'm not sure if I would listen to again, but I think if I was to listen to a Skynyrd album, this would probably be the one.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 04 2022

This was very good ol' Santana is pretty good at the guitar it turns out

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 05 2022

Yeah this was nice...washed over me a but, last song was great however

Apr 06 2022

I enjoyed the second listen to this alot more.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Apr 07 2022

Definitely more annoying, surprising how little I enjoyed this

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Apr 08 2022

Enjoyed this alot more on second listen, it's funny and well put together, his voice gets a tad annoying at times but still worth your time

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Apr 11 2022

Its unapologetically getting a biased 4. I have weird (maybe Freudian) memories of this album so was impossible to listen to objectively....

Solid Air by John Martyn
Apr 12 2022

Throughly enjoyed this, weired in places but incredible in others

Apr 13 2022

Yeah this really impressed me different in areas but worthy of a re-listen. Kinds felt a bit like Coldplay meets gorillaz but was also its own animal

xx by The xx
Apr 14 2022

Treads a very fine between minimalistic and dull but I think it juuuust pulls it off. Not one to regularly listen to but still enjoyable

Bad Company by Bad Company
Apr 15 2022

ULTIMATE DAD ROCK, I surprised myself because I enjoyed itn

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 19 2022

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I always assumed the doors were more dour and depressing, this shit rocked and was much more up tempo and lively

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Apr 20 2022

This was a bit all over the place but I still enjoyed it alot

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 21 2022

Great voice, but got bored after a while

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Apr 22 2022

80s synth cheese, yes I'm game. Got weaker as it went on but still enjoyable

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Apr 26 2022

Its elvis, I'm not sure why this is better or worse than any other elvis...it fine

Medúlla by Björk
Apr 28 2022

Just droned on, really not my thing

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Apr 29 2022

Disorganised mess and the song about onions can get in the sea

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 04 2022

Eh, I got kinda bored halfway though, it's not bad

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 05 2022

Enjoyed this so much more than expected, best sabbath album so far

May 06 2022

I hate being "that guy" who hates Coldplay just because it's the British thing to do. Having said that, man this is dull AF the hits aren't even great and super overplayed and the non hits are so forgettable

Closer by Joy Division
May 10 2022

I was weirdly disappointed by this, found it very sleepy and uninteresting

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 11 2022

Reminded me of guitar hero

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 12 2022

Solid stuff, weirdly enjoyed the intramentals more

Dry by PJ Harvey
May 16 2022

Wow, this was so much more enjoyable than let England shake and the other one she did.

Blur by Blur
May 17 2022

Alot of filler on this. The best stuff is where is sounds like Gorillaz

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
May 18 2022

Good stuff, not as good as last album, and the random song with the American vocalist was awful

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 19 2022

Its short which is nice. Its okay, nothing special

Rocks by Aerosmith
May 20 2022

This is great stuff, never listened to this and it felt fresh

Dust by Screaming Trees
May 23 2022

Solid blurr meets queen's of the stone age, this rocked

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
May 24 2022

Really enjoyed this, felt like it told a story and the audience involvement oddly added to it

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 25 2022

Its got some great hits on it, but the in-between hits are a bit fillery. It's enjoyable but I don't think I would ever listen to whole album again

May 26 2022

Truly great grunge punk, can't believe I've never listened to this before

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 30 2022

This depressingly, kinda blows, money for nothing is fine and the title track is a banger but everything else felt like filler

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 14 2022

I enjoyed this, but I think was expecting a 5 star. Still was pretty gretab

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 15 2022

Okay not sure I get why it's on this list

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jun 16 2022

Reminds me of school discos... I hated school discos

B-52's by The B-52's
Jun 17 2022

I enjoyed how weird this was

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 20 2022

Fine, namesake gives away uts score

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jun 23 2022

Great interesting krautrock, will listen to again

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 28 2022

Loved this, had some incredible names on it. Too many skits

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Jun 29 2022

Very enjoyable, fun loving criminals but harder?

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jul 01 2022

Crazy how the messages delivered in this album are still so relevant today. Fantastic stuff

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 04 2022

Fine

Hotel California by Eagles
Jul 05 2022

Fantastic chilled and rocked simultaneous

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jul 06 2022

This was very odd, really enjoyed the idea of flicking between radio stations but just not sure this pulled it off

Queen II by Queen
Jul 07 2022

Never listened to this and really enjoyed it. Seems very weirdly geeky at times

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jul 08 2022

I'm not sure I really got this. I've been told with context I would appreciate it more (the whole released just before his death) but without it, I got kinda bored

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 11 2022

Yep, I'll do this again, great stuff

Boston by Boston
Jul 12 2022

Great DIY music for when you've just moved house

Pump by Aerosmith
Jul 15 2022

Enjoyable but standard areosmith

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jul 18 2022

Eh, its okay, got bored after a while

White Light by Gene Clark
Jul 20 2022

Largely dull and forgettable

Infected by The The
Jul 21 2022

Opening track is a banger, this was a great listen, exactly what I wanted from this

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 26 2022

Enjoyable, kinda mellow punk, the live version of my generation can get in the sea but overall enjoyed

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 27 2022

Bluesy, felt a bit paint by numbers but still really enjoyed

Marquee Moon by Television
Jul 28 2022

Pretty forgettable, not bad just can't see myself wanting to listen again

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jul 29 2022

Powerful stuff, enjoyed every moment

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Aug 01 2022

More lively for Cohen, but still cohen

Aug 02 2022

I thought this was a complication but wiki tells me it's a cover album, its incredible and the cover of hurt is both haunting and beautiful

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Aug 03 2022

Lofi beats to study and relax too mixed with a bit of reage, sounds wonderful. I dig it

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Aug 04 2022

Kinda bland and forgettable, not offensive but hardly a defining album

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 08 2022

I brought three albums when I was trying to get into "real" music. Rage against the machine self titled, blink 182 take off your pants and jacket and this. I really struggled to listen to it back then and nothing has changed. His voice whines on, its far too long, some occasional tolerable stuff but over all just not for me

25 by Adele
Aug 09 2022

Cheer up luv, its not that bad. Cracking pipes but not really for me

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 11 2022

Huh, weirdly disappointed with this, starts strong but last few tracks are just dull

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Aug 12 2022

Really disappointed, bland, lyrically kinda dull

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Aug 15 2022

Its very good, there are some excellent drum solos. If I had to nitpick, sometimes some of the songs go on for a bit too long and some of the "banter" with the audience misses but it's still great stuff 4 stars

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Aug 16 2022

Solid, fun, rock, no statements, no politics, just rock n roll and it was good

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Aug 17 2022

Never really done Billy Joel, surprised how many songs I recognised, this was fabulous

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Aug 18 2022

It's early industrial metal, you can really tell where NIN/Linkin Park/etc got their inspiration from. It's gritty, punchy, hits hard and I loved it. It's only not getting a 5 because there are some duff tracks, but a highlight was Jesus built my hotrod.

Aug 19 2022

I think I wanted to like this more, it's okay, very punky and lyrically are fun, but I found myself zoning out at points and getting a bit bored.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 22 2022

This was much more enjoyable than expected, apache is a certified banger. For sure going to listen again, not quiet sure I can explain why but can't justify giving this a 5 so it's a solid 4

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 23 2022

Another radiohead album... It amazes me that an album which has (IMO) radioheads best song as its opener can then drone on to such nothingness... its a 3 because 2+2=5 is great and there's one more song that's pretty good but I can't remember the name lol

Destroyer by KISS
Aug 24 2022

Its short and has Detroit Rock City and Shut it out on it....thats pretty much all I can say that's positive. Also Gene Simmons gives me nightmares 2 stars

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Aug 25 2022

Solid beatles pop, was very surprised to see how much I already knew

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 26 2022

Its incredible and a great example of why I'm doing this, never heard of him and I'm on my second playthrough of this album already easy 5

Protection by Massive Attack
Aug 29 2022

Yes, yes, yes. Fantastic album by Incredible band, not listened to this in a very long time and reminded how great it was

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Aug 30 2022

Chilled out mellow groves, theres a time and place for this and I can see myself listening to it again

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Aug 31 2022

Meh not my thing

Among The Living by Anthrax
Sep 01 2022

This was what I needed to wake me up this morning. Its not very good but it hits hard

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Sep 02 2022

Good stuff, just not sure I'd ever listen to again

Elastica by Elastica
Sep 05 2022

Great stuff, not sure its britt pop but still really enjoyed this

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Sep 06 2022

I can agree this is probably great, but it wasn't really for me, too long for a start and just don't think I'll listen too again

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 07 2022

When it hits its very good, shame the majority sounds like the musical section at an early learning center

Sep 08 2022

I'm not the right person to give this a review, it sounded very good and musically was fine m, but I just know I won't listen to it again is its not my thing

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 09 2022

Perfectly fine, one banger and the rest blended into one thing

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Holy shit, could this have been any better/worse timed. For future me, this album was suggested the day after the Queen died....wow (edit now nor sure if this was all an elaborate joke, still very good) albums great 5 starts and extra for comedy value...so 6?

Pink Flag by Wire
Sep 13 2022

I get this is probably genre defining and can see the influences its had...but I didn't love it

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Sep 14 2022

Pretty good stuff but not sure when I'd listen to it again, getting slightly overwhelmed with sheer number of bands that have a similar vibe to this

21 by Adele
Sep 16 2022

This had more of an edge too it and I enjoyed it alot more than I expected, I think the surprise of me enjoying may have boosted my score but having said that rolling in the deep is a banger

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 19 2022

Foo fighters feels so dad rock to me. Some of their stuff hits but it's rare that I ever find an album that I really enjoy the whole way...until now, this feels edgier and harder than their later stuff, plus no "hits"

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Sep 20 2022

This was very rock and roll...its fine

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Sep 21 2022

Unremarkable, had some okay songs but mostly just glazed while listening

Sep 22 2022

Ehhh, I have issues with this album, blew it's load to quickly, cherry picked songs from multiple live events, goes on too long... its fine but I will never listen to again

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Sep 23 2022

Had some bangers, lots of fluff, prefer his son

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Sep 26 2022

Pretty much banging from start to finish, few tracks that were a tad slow for my taste but still great

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Sep 27 2022

Outstanding, albums like this are why I am doing this. Hallelujah will never fail to give me goosebumps

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Sep 29 2022

This did that 60s rock sound very well, if you ever need/want to listen to that style the this is your album

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 03 2022

This was very interesting but I'm not sure if it was good.

Oct 04 2022

Pretentious as he'll but I loved this, to nitpick the last half is weaker and the last 17 min song is a bit too long, but regardless I would be happy to own this

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 07 2022

This was okay

Fun House by The Stooges
Oct 10 2022

Hard hitting filth, nitpick would be the last song was too long, but still great stuff

Oct 12 2022

When it's good it's easily a 5, but then half way through it goes like weird free-form jazz and a man is just tinkeling on the piano and it really break it up (and I would say detracts from the album) but when it hits its an easy 5 stars. 21st century schizoid man is amazing. Overall a 4 cause it hits more than it misses

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Oct 13 2022

This reminds me of a very specific time so a biased 4

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 17 2022

Great stuff, upbeat and slightly jazzy. Could maybe be considered a bit background noise but I can see myself listening to it again so it's getting a 4

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Oct 18 2022

Its probably not bad but it really not for me, I found it dull and uninspired and it just droned on and on

Metallica by Metallica
Oct 19 2022

I've never really got Metallica, this just seems like the same generic sound repeated for each song until nothing else matters hits and that song is great because it's different. Every other song is duhn dunn *pause* duhn dunn *pause* duhn dunn repeated, its so dull. After it was over it reccomend I listen to Nickleback who IMO was at least more interesting

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 20 2022

Eh if this was a tribe called quest I wouldn't have been able to tell difference, also link went to "the missing album by the noel reading band and I listened to most of that(which if you care was 3/5)

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Oct 21 2022

The album cover is kind of interesting....and that's the best thing I can say about this 2 stars

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 25 2022

The measuring stick for all reggae albums. Incredible

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Oct 26 2022

Samples were top notch, like arguably one of the best out there, vocals really detract from the product.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Oct 27 2022

Campy in your face with a edge, slight punk vibes to it and I'm sure I could bang frankenstien

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Oct 28 2022

Shredded hard, was expecting to hate this but really enjoyed it

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Oct 31 2022

Powerful

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Nov 07 2022

I have to be in a very specific mood to enjoy this, still better than Paul's boutique

The Doors by The Doors
Nov 08 2022

The doors have been a real surprise hit for me while doing this. Really enjoyed this had some songs I had no idea where them

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Nov 09 2022

Bossa nova/lounge jazz - the kind of thing you would hear in a lounge bar on an expensive Cuban resort. Probably good weekend or evening music.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Nov 10 2022

French Cohen is probably the best description for this

Suicide by Suicide
Nov 11 2022

First song, eh, not bad. Then the drum beat continued, then a man screamed at me, then I understood why this has so many 1 reviews

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 14 2022

Surprisely dull, around the world is far too long, much better stuff out there by this duo

Odelay by Beck
Nov 15 2022

This was weird, I thought it was going to be a good weird at first, but then it started throwing in random clicks and beeps which made me think there was a error with my car...odd has great elements but to much randomness

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Nov 16 2022

Fluff, the garden of Eden song goes on way too long, prolly enjoyable if on a shit load of acid

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Nov 17 2022

Lyrical nonsense, music was okay, pretty forgettable, not sure I'd ever listen again but it was pleasant enough

Fragile by Yes
Nov 21 2022

Would be a 5 if there wasn't 2 min long randomness that imo breaks it up

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 22 2022

Fine but mostly forgettable

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Nov 23 2022

Dull, just felt low effort and completely forgettable

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Nov 28 2022

This is probably the best kind of this music around and it's great stuff but not likely to ever want to listen to again

Nov 29 2022

Its okay, I have a issue with "lazy" vocals, musically pretty good but don't remember much after it finished

Palo Congo by Sabu
Nov 30 2022

Just not my thing

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Dec 01 2022

4th pj album, it's alot more punky/rocky, gets a bit preachy in places and drones on in some but overall pretty good

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 02 2022

Offensively dull

The Visitors by ABBA
Dec 05 2022

More enjoyable than I expected

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Dec 07 2022

Goth as hell, some real bangers

Rio by Duran Duran
Dec 08 2022

Camp, cheesy, a tad samey but I loved it

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Dec 09 2022

The most enjoyable out of all the elvis albums

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 13 2022

Straight up, this shouldn't be on this list, its more audio book than album, and the same song is played twice...

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Dec 14 2022

Conjures some very strong imagery of a seedy new York jazz club in middle of winter

Dec 15 2022

Perfectly pleasant, until he insisted on getting the audience to sing but had to tell them the lyrics and rushed saying the line. I don't care about hearing Katie from Miami voice...

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Dec 16 2022

Trash absolute trash. One of the worst things I've listened too, unbeleive how one of the lyrics is about sleeping with underage girls but it's fine because at least he isn't underpaid, get in the fucking sea you racist waste of skin

Be by Common
Dec 19 2022

This was pretty bland, had a few okay tracks but I can't remember them now

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Dec 20 2022

I'm sure this is wonderful, but its not my jam

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 21 2022

I enjoyed the hits and one song had a real ska vibe to it, but I think I expected more

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Dec 23 2022

Very Disney esq, a tad to Jesusy, not bad just don't think I'll listen to again

Gold by Ryan Adams
Dec 28 2022

Pretty bland and forgettable

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 29 2022

Great grungy stuff here

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 30 2022

Did not get this, totally bland

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 09 2023

I didnt expect to enjoy this as much as exodus...but I did

Jan 10 2023

That free-form guitar songs a bit shit innit...rest was relatively pleasant, clearly talented artists, enjoyable voice

Jan 11 2023

Can't believe how disappointed I was by this, it droned on, never picked up steam and I have zero reccolation of it

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jan 12 2023

Biased as I grew up with this and am a slipknot fan. I love this, its gritty, violent and at times beautiful, you can tell they are trying to find their niche so it's not their greatest album (Vol 3 IMO) but it's still great work that goes on a tad too long

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 16 2023

Fabulous stuff here's goes on a tad too long but still very enjoyable

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Jan 17 2023

Fine, strong message still relevant today, but music just passed me by

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jan 18 2023

Yeah fun enjoyable

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jan 19 2023

Perfectly pleasent, totally forgettable country/rock

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jan 20 2023

Exceptional stuff, first time done cover to cover and I get the hype

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 24 2023

Its fine, but why her over so many other similar artists from the same period

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jan 25 2023

This reminds me of a very specific time of getting absolutely battered on white lightning with likeminded vagabonds and belting Jenny was a friend of mine at the top of our lungs. So this review is very bias, but it did bring a smile to my face. The actual album is fine it drops of hugely in the second half but (despite it being overplayed) I do quite like Mr Brightside and somebody told me.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jan 26 2023

So this is weird as fuck, it's starts off as a instrumental album which I was like yeah, cool I can get on with this. Then a female vocalist comes in for one track who is great...then...I think a new album starts playing because Weller (I think) starts rapping...and it's the worst fucking thing you've ever heard. Imagine if the super weird guy who works in finance was trying to do a rap ...are you cringing into yourself? Because that's what happened to me. Then it's a weird love song, then it's a weird Frank Sintra esq thing...its so all over the place. Its 3.5 so rounding it up to a 4...but fuck me that rap is awful

Kenza by Khaled
Jan 27 2023

Hard to understand the context, musically...okay, hate the imagine cover

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 31 2023

Caribbean cruise ship jazz, fine, not my thing

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Feb 01 2023

This was okay, kinda folk acoustic stuff, just feel that if I wanted to listen to this kind of music I likely wouldn't choose this artist or album

Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 02 2023

This is rather good, Jack White is exceptionally talented, although seven nation army is the most overplayed song

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Feb 03 2023

I had this and thought it was shit

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 06 2023

Rocked out, really fun and a tad silly at times

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 07 2023

Great female punk rock,

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 08 2023

Soul, gospel, opens with a banger and its pretty solid the whole way through

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 09 2023

Surprised how bored I got listening to this

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Feb 10 2023

Few decent songs, voice kinda grating at times

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 13 2023

Free-form jazz is not my thing. Mad flex being 40 mins but only 2 songs though

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 14 2023

I was surprised to know how many of these songs I knew as covers, its great stuff though, really great voice and beautiful piano work

Feb 15 2023

Voice ranged from great to kinda annoying, but really found myself getting into this, a bit silly at times but also oddly powerful

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Feb 16 2023

Mid....as I think the kids say now

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Feb 17 2023

I think I might be wrong as the Internet loves this...but I struggled so bad, I found it so limp and lackluster and his voice was aggravating, 2 stars, but there is a part of me that think I may have not given it a real chance...

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 20 2023

Really enjoyed this

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Feb 21 2023

Disappointingly dull at times, starts off strong and sultans is great

Street Life by The Crusaders
Feb 22 2023

Fine, doubt I'll listen too again

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Feb 23 2023

The flows really well, if not feeling slightly dated now. Still most influential grime artist

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Feb 24 2023

Intense story, but not a great album

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 27 2023

Brilliant, camp af, but really fun stuff

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 28 2023

Man under the thumb is so creepy, enjoyed most of the rest

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Mar 02 2023

Driven mostly by his vocals this is very pleasant

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 03 2023

Can't explain why I enjoyed this but I did, disco af

Transformer by Lou Reed
Mar 06 2023

Lyrically with is going on. Its interesting stuff, will listen again

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 07 2023

Godfather of rap, this is incredible lyrics that have transcended time

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Mar 08 2023

Loud, obnoxious, and honestly kinda boring

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Mar 09 2023

Kinda boring, renegades of funk is okay buy RATM did it better

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 10 2023

Truly great stuff

Mar 13 2023

I really wanted to enjoy this more than I did, has some really great songs bit alot of annoying "skits" and some very poor songs

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 14 2023

What more can be said about this, looses it a bit in the middle but starts and ends really strong

Forever Changes by Love
Mar 15 2023

Some really strong songs in first half but tails off hugely

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 16 2023

I have a soft spot for this type of music, think it takes real talent to produce. Brilliant stuff enjoyed majority

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 17 2023

Brilliant, rocks like nothing else and some truly timeless songs on here. Put my love into you and give the dog a bone kinda suck to loses a star for that

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 21 2023

Great, catchy, cheese af, very man hating, but fun

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Mar 22 2023

Somewhat ironically as I had Taylor Swift yesterday, today was interrupted by Mr Kayne West with Collage Drop out. He's a knob, but I just cannot deny the talent, its such a good album and slow jamz is a masterpiece. Loses a star because he is such a knob so it's 4

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 23 2023

Truly masterful work, has the occasional moment where it drags on, but a true genius at work here

Nowhere by Ride
Mar 24 2023

Offensively dull, voice overpowered by instruments

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Mar 27 2023

Faithless but no where near as good. Has some real solid 5 star songs but also alot of fluff

Mar 28 2023

Jesus christ this was dull. Lyrically sounds like he found most of them in fortune cookies. Every song drones on the same way, and it sounds like he has a cold

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 29 2023

Really not my thing, kinda dull, slow and rather melancholy.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Mar 30 2023

I felt pretty cool listening to this, feel its pretty telling that the best songs on it have other artists, starts to lose its way towards the end. Still good stuff

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Mar 31 2023

Its...okay, not really much to say about it

Technique by New Order
Apr 05 2023

More "ibiza" than I expected, but still good, opening track worried me a bit but picked up after that

Apr 06 2023

I honestly believe this is one of the greats. Lupes eloquent delivery mixed with some sick beats makes this a true masterpiece

Crazysexycool by TLC
Apr 07 2023

This sucks... waterfalls isn't even that good

Third by Portishead
Apr 10 2023

Staggeringly beautiful

Teen Dream by Beach House
Apr 12 2023

Mellow, super chilled, really pleasant

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 13 2023

It's okay, reminds me a bit of Florence and the machines, didn't grip me though. 3 it's not bad, just not very interesting IMO

En-Tact by The Shamen
Apr 14 2023

Very repetitive and extremely dull

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 18 2023

Interesting, I think nevermind is better l, but this has some really good bits, still struggled at times

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 16 2023

This had some interesting songs, but overall a bit too folky for me

New Forms by Roni Size
May 17 2023

Quintessential dnb pretty good, I get why people hate it though

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
May 18 2023

Pretty surprising how much I enjoyed listening to this, great voice, catchy tunes

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 19 2023

Dad rock as hell, it's opening track is great, then there's a few tracks of fluff, then from smoke on the water onwards its really solid, the ending track when a blind man cries was a real shock

Black Metal by Venom
May 22 2023

Loud, it's okay, much better metal out there, but gather theses guys were pioneering, still rate on how it sounds

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
May 23 2023

When I saw this, I groaned, French, average rating of 2.3...is this another Serge Gainsburg. I was wrong, I loved this, French industrial metal...ie French Rammstien, sign me up

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
May 24 2023

Chilled out trip hop, yeah I dig this

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
May 25 2023

So I shockingly had to look up the morrissey hate and he does sound like a massive tool, bit frustratingly this album is very good (albeit sober AF)

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
May 26 2023

Pleasant, but completely forgettable

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
May 29 2023

Not sure Mr Waits is for me, it fine, just mo chance I'll listen again

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 31 2023

I see alot of Portishead and massive Attack, this is my kinda jam The album above (Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room by Dwight Yoakam) was incorrectly reviewed as this when it should have been a 2

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jun 05 2023

Its perfectly fine, overly happy but still good stuff, not in best moods when listening so might reflect in score

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Jun 06 2023

Holy shit this is bad, it's a 1, his voice is fucking dreadful, the instrumentals were...fine I guess but his voice is so obnoxious it removes any positive I can give about it

Jun 07 2023

Fantastic stuff but knew this already, origins I think is better but this is still a belter

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 08 2023

Its the most indie rock middle of the road album, think if Coldplay did more indie, it's totally inoffensive and bland, but its not bad so it's 2.5 rounded up to a 3

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 09 2023

Hmm, I'm not sure how I feel about this, I think it largely washed over me and had nothing that really defined it

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jun 13 2023

Unsure why this is here, its bland and plenty of other bands like this but better

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 14 2023

What more can be said about this, it the best bowie I've had (so far)

Tical by Method Man
Jun 15 2023

Method man knows how to spit, this had some really solid beats, the start of the album seems to have his voice masked by the music but that sorts its self out later

Signing Off by UB40
Jun 16 2023

It sounds like group of mostly white guys doing a early learning center version of reggae. The cold play of Reggae. Based on this no I didn't enjoy it, found it largely bland and forgettable and was glad when it finally ended

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 19 2023

What an album, yeah the songs are super long, yeah sometimes they feel like they may waffle a bit, but it just makes me feel something I cant explain and I honestly think this is truly masterful

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 20 2023

Started strong but tailed off and some songs were actively annoying

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jun 21 2023

Hell of an album, gets very campy at points and it's one of the greats

Jun 22 2023

How do I review this, speakerboxxx is a 5, its really catchy the rapping is top notch, and any song with killer Mike can do no wrong. The love below, I just cannot get into this, u hated the intro, I think alot of Andre 3000 "jokes" fall flat and I don't think much of it is memorable. So that's a 2. It shouldn't be a double album either this makes it too long and I like artists that respect my time.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jun 23 2023

80s as anything but really solid stuffbin here. You have to be in a certain mood I think to enjoy but I was and I did

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Jun 26 2023

Reminds me of a very specific time in mu life. I actually think it pretty solid catchy pop, the opening 4 tracks are great and the ending track is same level

Jun 27 2023

I think this wax too weird for me, future me reading this comment, check out the wiki story for this album, it's wild

Vulnicura by Björk
Jun 28 2023

I think I like the idea of Bjork more than I like her, its fine, but mostly washed over me

Jun 29 2023

It likely I'm just not educated enough in music to get this, but the top review talks about discovering keyboard samples on your cassio keyboard and that's all I can hear now

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jun 30 2023

Objectively this is shit personally I kinda love it. Reminds me of been a angsty teen

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 03 2023

Unexpected, very campy pop, sounds like scooter might bust in at some point

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 04 2023

I just dont think u2 are for me, got really bored listening to this and felt his voice agitating. Prolly southpark and Bill Bailey ruined this for me

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 05 2023

She can't sing, so many people disagree with me but she's super nasal and shrill. I guess lyrically it's pretty powerful and has a interesting story behind it which includes where she suffered server laryngitis... that explains alot

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jul 06 2023

Fantastic, hits all the right notes and just brilliant stuff

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Jul 07 2023

Shockingly poor, I'm sure she has a great voice but this doesn't show it, the song with Jay Z is terrible, it almost feels like if AI generated r&b. Many more talented artists who fit a similar genre should be included before this trash.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jul 10 2023

Incredible beats mixed with some great rapping, let down by flavour flav. It's very old school rap which I've always struggled with a bit anyways

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jul 11 2023

Possibly the best thing to come out of Wu-Tang. Beats are incredible, rapping is pretty good with some minor downfalls

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jul 12 2023

Its jazz and hoo-boy is it Jazz.... its pleasant, its not my thing, it goes a bit all over the place at times and there are a few songs where the drummer seems to only want to hit the cymbal...but its unoffensive 2.5 rounded up to 3

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 13 2023

Really solid, it's loud, brash, and unapologetically metal AF 🤘

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 14 2023

Jesus this is heavy, I've just read some of the wiki on it and it's got a real heart wrenching back story to it. It's staggeringly beautiful, real minimalistic, but lyrically powerful. You 100% have to be in a certain mood to listen to this

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jul 17 2023

Its very good, it's my first real exposure to Elton John outside of Disney songs and the few hits. Tails off towards the end but mostly positive

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 18 2023

What else can be said, this is really rather good

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jul 19 2023

The premises is its an album about a fictional crime that happened. The reality is its lots of obnoxious noises, punctuated by the occasional scream. It's really uncomfortable to listen too even though it's all instrumental and I've no clue who it's made for.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Jul 20 2023

Tough listen but very moving

Jul 21 2023

Its somewhat interesting lyrically, and I think he talks about masturbation alot, but inspite of this its largely samey and pretty dull. Doubt I'll listen too again

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 24 2023

Uber 80s pop, not really my thing

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 25 2023

A band I've heard of, but never listened. It's good. Lyrically this is heavy and reading the wiki it's really dark at times. However its really weirdly almost upbeat, and a great listen.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jul 26 2023

I bloody loved this. Every song was good or great, will deffo listen to again

Jul 27 2023

Find, I begrudgingly admit that u2 can occasionally do some great stuff

Jul 28 2023

Its wonderful, French trip-hop jazz thats reminds of Nujables. It's a 5 even though I've no idea what he's rapping about

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Jul 31 2023

HERE IN MY CAR, I FEEL SAFEST OF ALL, I CAN LOCK ALL MY DOORS, ITS THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IN CARS. You know how that song is now stuck in your head and you hate it? Yeah imagine a whole album like that. Mediocre, repetitive shit.

Aug 01 2023

Its...alright, not too sure I get why its on the list but it's not bad, it's just kind of is. 2.5 rounded up to a 3

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 03 2023

I wanted to like this more than I did, its perfectly fine, just nothing really special

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Aug 04 2023

This is good, but has alot of fluff. I know there are significantly better albums out there by this band, so odd choice to put on list

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Aug 07 2023

I really enjoyed this. Hey Joe cover was great

Aug 08 2023

Not as good as fragile, still enjoyable but felt like it dragged at times

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 09 2023

What's even to say. Truly something special

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Aug 10 2023

I'm not sure if his voice is genius or annoying, either way I'm pretty sure I didn't love this but didn't think it was terrible

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Aug 14 2023

Washed over me, not my thing too Jazzy

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Aug 15 2023

Can I really form a strong opinion on an album so short. Think I'll remember this album but never listen too again

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Aug 16 2023

Cool as hell, really moody stuff at times but has so much depth and variety. Brilliant stuff

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Aug 17 2023

Its fine, there are better artist out there and this album is a bit bi-polar in places where she goes gangster and then tries to be soulful, it's not bad, but its very British and I can see it not appealing to a wider audience, its a 3 because if I ever wanted to listen to this style but more rap then lil simz exists but if I want more mellow then Alicia Keys exists

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 18 2023

There is a great band here, unfortunately it's dominated by Billy corgan and I really don't think he can sing. It's whiney and drones on in all the wrong ways.

Aug 21 2023

This is rough. It's like they sampled a fax machine, old ADSL router and then smashed in the scaps that Beck decided was "too weird". It has no right to be anywhere near this list and I can only assume that the editor is related to this band somehow. Described as Noise Rock, I describe it as utterly shit

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 22 2023

Damn this is really good. Its psychedelic in all the right ways funky to boot and super catchy. Sunshine of your love sounds like a song I've heard a million times but had no idea who did it. Only just read its Mr Clapton. Its fabulous

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 23 2023

Its okay, it's catchy at times, it feels largely bland. It's not bad (pun intended) but just feels a bit safe and I can't ever think of a time where I will put this on again.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 24 2023

Fabulous stuff here, if I had to nitpick the last song (jungleland) goes on too long, but overall this was really good

The La's by The La's
Aug 25 2023

I think there are other artist that I would prefer to listen to that do a similar style. Having said this, it's not bad, I just can imagine choosing to listen to it again

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 28 2023

Jesus wtf was thus...

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 29 2023

Starts off quite strong and was like this could be great. Now I've finished it I am not too sure. I think the title track kinda sucks but there is some great stuff here....its arguably better than a 3, but not too sure I can justify a 4...

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Aug 30 2023

I got so bored listening to this, nothing really grabs me and as soon as it ended I pretty much forgot everything about it. I am shocked at how revered it is for something so bland. Its a 2 because its not Serge

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Aug 31 2023

Lyrically some what questionable, its slight off putting and I'm not a huge lover of his vocals, but overall I think I did enjoy this,

The White Room by The KLF
Sep 01 2023

This is brit trance/electro music. Super repetitive and not very good.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Sep 04 2023

Occasionally good stuff in here, but nothing special and the fact I've forgotten about most of it when I've come to write my reviews says it all

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Sep 05 2023

Jazz Salsa and it started off really strong, its not hugely my thing but I think if I ever wanted to listen to a funky jazz salsa album, this would be my pick. Gets a bit samey at times, but overall I think I enjoyed it. It's would be a 3.5 so it's rounded up

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Sep 06 2023

The most interesting 3 I'll ever listen too. Was great to hear were alot of the original samples from some of my favorite rappers came from, I can see why they just selected parts of the song rather than the entire thing. Some of its okay, but I'll never want to listen to again

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Sep 07 2023

Steve Tyler is a fucking creep, but this album does kinda rock so fuck it

American Pie by Don McLean
Sep 08 2023

Beautiful, Vincent is a true highlight and will listen to this for years to come

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Sep 13 2023

Fun, its a bit like King of Leon with more zazz.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Sep 14 2023

This was an interesting listen, I'm quite big into my synthwave/retrowave and think the last few years have really had some great stuff come out. Alot of this probably has to do with the PSB but I've never actually sat down and listened to it. It's a tricky one to grade as I do like it, but I just feel if I wanted to listen to this style of music I'd listen to so many other artists...

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 15 2023

I don't like this. I think when Mr Kedis actually sings rather than doing his interpretation of white man rap its okay (under the bridge, I could have lied being highlights) but the first song is obnoxious and the title track just isn't very good.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Sep 18 2023

This is pleasant but totally unremarkable

California by American Music Club
Sep 19 2023

Bland

1999 by Prince
Sep 20 2023

Ehhhh, it's not bad, most of the songs are too long and I think something in the water is obnoxious and lady cab driver just feels a bit cringe. I think i expected to like this and have come away feeling somewhat underwhelmed, its a 3 but only just

Sep 21 2023

I think this is pretty great, its varied enough that it kept my interest the entire time, street worm is a certified banger and I've added to my general playlist. Few duff tracks but enjoyed more than I disliked

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 22 2023

What else can be said, incredible

Cut by The Slits
Sep 25 2023

I think this is probably more known for its album cover than anything else. I started off enjoying this as its gurlpunk and ska, but then it continued, and it didn't stop, and I wasn't sure if I was listening to the same song as before. It has its moments and I'm glad I listened, but its a 3 because I'll never listen again

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Sep 26 2023

"Muum can I buy this Rancid album" "You have a Rancid album at home"

Tago Mago by Can
Sep 27 2023

This was an experience... so side one (as the kids say) was very very good, a tad pretentious but I dug it. The side 2 started and after 15 mins of the 17 min track I honestly thought the umbongo theme was about to start playing, then an 11 min track happens where a man wails down the mic for the majority of it and because of how terrible side 2 was it loses 2 stars

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Sep 28 2023

This seems to have alot of hate, all the most recent reviews are 1 and 2's. It's finnne if not totally bland, I can get why people hate it because it never really does much but its no where near as offensive as some of the other things on this list.

2112 by Rush
Sep 29 2023

I have ears that work so this is a 5 and I'll fight anyone who says differently

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Oct 03 2023

I actually enjoyed this alot more that I expected. Its slightly poppy slightly punky has some great brass in bits

Oct 04 2023

Its weirdly empowering and still so topical today, its fun that he subverts the usual misogyny of rap and turns it around (see Bitches 2 as example) some of the skits are unintentionally hilarious, some are intended to be funny and some are just cringe, so for that it loses 1 star. 4 in total

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Oct 05 2023

This is weird as fuck. Its not on anything, as in you can't stream it from apple music or Spotify, there's even a disclaimer saying so, I found I think all of it on YouTube. It's mostly in German but its like soilder marching tunes and then slightly off lounge jazz then some women deep throating the mice its all a bit much for 6am

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Oct 06 2023

After the first song I was ready to hate this, but I grew on me the more it went on. I'm really unsure about his voice at times. I think I liked it more than didn't so its a high 3 but not sure it can scrape a 4

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Oct 09 2023

More enjoyable than expected tails off in end

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Oct 10 2023

Oh this is really good, like really good. It seems quite well timed as it's got a fucking organ playing which is very goth/Halloween and it slaps.

Oct 11 2023

I think I wanted to hate this as I have a weird dislike of everybody hurts. But once you passed that it's actually pretty solid. I'm not sure if I would listen to again but I think it's a 4

Parklife by Blur
Oct 12 2023

This is alot of fun, starts to lose it towards the end, but overall this was a great listen 4

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Oct 13 2023

I kinda getz this, and if I wanted to listen to this style again, I would choose this

Rapture by Anita Baker
Oct 16 2023

Powerful voice but think I would prefere to listen to other artists doing a similar style

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Oct 17 2023

I enjoyed this, varied instruments and kept my interest

Oct 25 2023

Its too long and samey, it has some good moments but no where near enough for me to want to listen to again.

Oct 26 2023

I was very ready to condem this as I honestly don't think the cover of man who sold the world is actually very good. Having said that, I did really enjoy listening to this. I hate the long downtime between each song and think there are some weak tracks on there but come as you are and where did you sleep last night are hauntingly beautiful.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Oct 27 2023

I'm not the target audience for this and found it largely annoying and a tad preachy

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Oct 30 2023

Lyrically I guess kinda interesting, vocally annoying and dull

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 31 2023

Furiously sexually charged camp nonsense but I loved it

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Nov 01 2023

I think there's some great stuff here somewhere, but it takes some looking, it's not bad though

Wild Gift by X
Nov 02 2023

This is fine, its punky and varied, but I just think there is better stuff on this list and think this will be quite forgettable

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 06 2023

I'm always confusing the Pet Shop Boys with another band and I expect a capella style band and then get some cheese pop instead and it will always throw me. Regardless, this is fiiine its 3 because I'm not sure I'd ever listen to again

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Nov 09 2023

This is my most hated kind of rap, its got no bite or anything that grips you. I'm not saying all rap has to be about bitches and ho's (see Lupe Fiasco) but it needs to have something of interest, this reminds me of the Donald Glover skit about hold rappers writing raps about buying hats. These guys would be better off doing a gospel album. I hated this but its not as bad as Serge so it's 2

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Nov 10 2023

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear...which sounds backwards but I don't think it is. So I've always claimed to like reggae, but really I mainly mean I like Ska and the Marley's. This was great to listen too, really catchy without getting samey, variety of instruments, lyrically powerful. It's a 4

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Nov 14 2023

This just scrapes a 4, and that's based entirely off the hits being real bangers on this album. There's some real trash, 97 Bonnie and Clyde is particularly egregious, but guilty concious, my name is and role model are peak Eminem. I know there is a better album coming by Mr Mathers

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Nov 15 2023

This isn't as bad as I expected, but I had very very low expectations. Its catchy at points and seems to be produced fine. Its made me feel like a strong powerful bootlicious woman who don't need no man, but regardless its a 3

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Nov 16 2023

....this was really really rough. Lyrically it's nonsense, vocally it's poor, the music sounds like it's played in a kings court during the tudor era but Henery VIII was mid way through decapitating the lute player. Its awful and I'm not sure I finished it (as not on spotify) and Frankly I don't care...

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 20 2023

Maybe it's because I'm in a rare good mood this week but I really struggled to get into this. Its very melancholic and dour. I also found it a bit dry as there wasn't much in the way of instruments...I guess minimalist is the term but truthfully I just found it sad and a bit dull...

Nov 21 2023

To add to my paranoia that my phone is listening to me...I am seeing Mr Cent tomorrow on the 25th anniversary of this album....so that's weird. I really love this album, it's encapsulates the era of early 2000 gangster rap and the beef between some of the biggest rapping names around, it has some great guests on it and the production value is immense, hence why you still hear in da club on radios still. Putting my objective hat on, it's slightly dated at points and 90% of his songs are him bragging about surviving being shot. I think I have to give it a 5, but will appreciate that it's likely a biased review

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 22 2023

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys. This was a real surprise, was expecting surfing USA got a lyrically hard hitting rock album. Student Demonstration Time has been added to my general rotation of songs as I think its brilliant, over all the entire album had me engaged and was such a surprise

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Nov 23 2023

Not hugely my jam, a few moments I found myself getting into this but not enough that I think I would ever listen too again

From memory this was a shocking hit for my colleage who hates folk... I dont get it. It's okay, very folky, I don't think it's bad but it didn't blow me away either. It's very much a 2.5 which I'll be nice and round up to a 3. The album cover made me laugh though

Traffic by Traffic
Nov 27 2023

Very solid, John barleycorn must die is better but still great stuff

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Nov 28 2023

This was fun, a bit punky a bit all over the place, but mostly really enjoyable

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 29 2023

Unashamedly cheesy nonsense, that's great fun to drive to. It's got it flaws but I really enjoyed this

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Nov 30 2023

This dude is horny AF, just contsant innuendos and then a bit half way where he talks about orgasms. Slightly full on for a Wedsnesay morning, but despite that I really enjoyed the hits that I knew and even some of the longers songs (13 mins+) kept my interest

Da Capo by Love
Dec 01 2023

I dont really have strong feelings either way about this....its perfectly fine if bordering dull, there's a random song that last 18 mins which is too long...its 2.5

Dec 04 2023

I think its one of the worst things I've listened too. I hate how much he plays into the Cockney aspect and feel like he really hams it up, lyrically his links between lines are very poor and feel super forced, I don't think the beats are that interesting... fine it tells a story, but it tells a story that I don't think is very interesting. I also wish to state that I quite like spoken word rap (Scoobius pip, Sage Francis and Aesop Rock being highlights) but this is just bloody awful.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Dec 05 2023

This is my thing, it's kinda electronic rock synthwave nonsense and it's my jam. Reminds me slightly of Massive Attack and Portishead but arguably even more unobtrusive. I can see me playing this again after a long day at work with the lights off and a tall glass of apple tango

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Dec 07 2023

This is a bit shit

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Dec 08 2023

Beautiful and haunting, can see how she inspired so man

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 11 2023

so like...fine I get they defined an era of music...and I get they are huuugely influential, but I just cannot get on with the style and formular of rap. I don't want to call is basic, but it feels very dated now. I wanted to enjoy this but I just couldn't

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Dec 12 2023

A third of my way though my journey I was like eh...its a 3. I'm not sure why, but it really started to grow on me and I'm still thinking about it now. So it's a 4 because I think it deserves another listen. Lyrically it's fucking weird, there's a song which I think is about ice cream favors, and a song about Jesus hating minorities...

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Dec 13 2023

Just not my jam, I will always struggle with C&W no matter how hard I try.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 14 2023

So Nick Cave has been pretty inconsistent for me, having said that and looking back at my scores, I've liked more than I havent. Fortunately this falls into the liked category. It starts off by kicking you in the face with Papa won't you leave and just keeps momentum the entire way. It doesn't out stay its welcome, it a 5 from me

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Dec 15 2023

I didn't get this. Its live so I'm already not a huge fan of live albums, and honestly I didn't think it was very good, his voice gets masked by the loud "music". It had a few okay tracks but more just glossed over me. There was a funny moment where he was singing the chorus for show me the way (I think) and he turned the mic to the crowd and it was just dead air. Its a 2, I expect he has better non live albums but I will never listen to this again

Parachutes by Coldplay
Dec 18 2023

Hate this. Has such limp dick energy. Just think its "edgy" music for mums too listen too while doing the school run

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 19 2023

Happy Sad Tim Buckley. Its okay, it drops off pretty quickly which is a shame. I will never choose to listen to this again

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Dec 20 2023

This is currently the lowest rated album on the list. It takes "industrial metal" a bit too literally and just sounds like someone in a factory hitting parts of it and recording it...its bad, really bad. I'm not even sure I can use the line but it's better than Serge because I'm honestly not sure it is

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Dec 21 2023

Bland middle of the road rock...its fine

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jan 05 2024

A bit too folky for me, it had a few real shining tracks but mostly I found it just passed me by

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jan 08 2024

Catchy and pretty great stuff. Light but varied enough to keep me engaged

Jan 09 2024

Turns out I'm a Dylan fan and never new, discovering his albums has been a highlight of this project

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jan 10 2024

Long, dull and very bootsncats. Not too sure why it's on the list as I could have died and never listened too it and I think it would have been fine.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Jan 18 2024

It trys so hard to say something and fails so miserably, I get what it's trying to do (pro BLM and equal rights) but it just gets a bit dull and reparative. It's a 3 that should have been a 4

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Jan 19 2024

Mr Waits has been pretty consistent for me in that I can appreciate it, I'm just not sure its for me. This might be a first where it has a bagpipes solo....its fine, moody, and probably "cool" but I'll never put it on again.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jan 22 2024

Punky, but I'm not sure how good it actually is. Possibly I just wasn't in the mood for it but I found myself zoning out alot

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jan 23 2024

I've been really trying to get into grime as it's a genre I know very little about, this is where I should have started. Great stuff m, hard hitting at times, overly cringe macho at others, but still enjoyed it

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jan 24 2024

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs. Pretentious, songs go on too long, description of it us utter waffle and I loved it. It's moody but I felt quite cool listening to it. I can picture driving down route 66 at sunset listening to this. I want to own this

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jan 25 2024

I'm not sure I got it, some of the songs where iggy is a bit more shouty and it has a bit of bite are okay, but the rest kinda passed me by and was quickly forgotten. I don't think it's for me and I wonder if it's only on this list because of the pedigree of both the artist involved.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Jan 26 2024

Finnish dishwater tablets did an advert with a song that was pretty catchy and chill....yeah that but a whole album of it. Despite that, it's not bad it veers on dull at times but I can see it being great background music at like a refined dinner with people who use too many knifes and forks

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 29 2024

Its exactly what you expect, as deep as a puddle and some face melting guitar, gets a tad samey but it's quite enjoyable, 3.5 rounded up to 4

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jan 30 2024

Some what of a fitting title, as 20 mins into it, I was wishing someone would kill me. I don't think it's the worst thing I've listened to on this list, but it's top 5. Electronic waffle, which has the same beat playing for 8 mins. It's really terrible, and I turned it off after 30 mins as that was all I could endure

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 31 2024

Its very similar to the van Halen album I had on two days ago, its fine you know what you are getting and I probably enjoyed it as much as I did the self titled one.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Feb 01 2024

Effortlessly cool, I recognised absolutely none of it so was completely fresh to my ears. I dug this.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Feb 02 2024

Moody and sometimes a bit camp at the same time. This album feels special, the hits are there and surprisingly still great, but this had me engaged from opening to end. Fantastic stuff

Feb 05 2024

This is a cheese sandwich. It's perfectly pleasent and I'm not offended by it, but I would prefer some ham and pickle in it and if it could be a baguette that would be ideal too.... What was my point again.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Feb 06 2024

This kept my attention and was pretty good but next morning I couldn't remember a thing about it

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Feb 07 2024

Hard to listen, mercifully short.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Feb 08 2024

Its lyrically very very dated and its easy snoop who isn't a great rapper and dre...who has never been a fantastic lyricist...but the beats...the beats are timeless. If I had to nitpick it tails off towards the end and some of the skits could be dropped, but its a generational album. Its a 4, because Dre 2001 is just so much better

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Feb 13 2024

Its pleasant as far as folk/country goes, but its not my thing. I also can't tell if her voice is autotunned or if she's just layered her vocals twice, but its very noticeable at times. Not my jam however

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Feb 14 2024

Okay, but pretty bland

Arise by Sepultura
Feb 15 2024

Its loud and obnoxious and extremely unapologetic for what it is, but its also not very good, its just kinda blends into one long track, there a few stand out songs, but I'd never choose to listen to this again and I much preferred roots.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 16 2024

Best CCR album so far but just not really my thing, a tad too swamp rocky, although I knew one or 2 songs

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Feb 19 2024

Pleasant advert music, zero bite but completely inoffensive

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Feb 20 2024

I have no clue who this is for, I can only think people on the brink of ODing from LSD would enjoy this. I've made the joke that this sounds like someone smashing their face into a cassio keyboard while all the settings are cycling, but this really does sound like that, it's shit I don't understand why it's here and people who like it scare me.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 21 2024

Inoffensive but largely bland, fine driving music but can't remember sod all about it now I'm several hours removed from it

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Feb 22 2024

It opens strong tales off a bit but I enjoyed the variety

Feb 23 2024

Its country, so I expected to hate this. I'm as shocked as you are to say, I kinda dug it. It's almost like prog country (which isn't a thing I don't think) it's super varied, he's vocals/talking work really well with it. It's almost like what I think Tom Waites should be, simple vocals with interesting and varied music.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Feb 26 2024

Funky af, track 2 is....tough, enjoyable but there's funkier stuff I'd prefer to listen to

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Feb 27 2024

It's....music. Its a women singing not very well with a slightly German accent. Musically it's quite dull and vocally far from impressive. It's a 2 because its not Serge

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Feb 28 2024

Highly Evolved by The Vines. I originally was going to decirbe this as Nivana but from Califonia and less suicidal. I have no just discovered they are Australian which is like Cali...but better. This is great, its fun, hits in the right places and is right up my ally

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 29 2024

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo. Smooth as butter, creepy as Serge. Okay its not that creepy but its very thirsty and gets a bit grating after a while. Extra star for the song title Shit Damn Motherfucker, loses that star for chorus only being the lyrics, Shit , Damn, Muthafuckaah on repeat...although not sure what I expected

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Mar 01 2024

This album is phenomenal, I was never a GFK fan growing up and I feel like I missed out. Everything song is unique and tells a great story, there are too many skits as always but some are pretty funny and The Champ is a certified banger and goes in the general playlist.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Mar 04 2024

Punky varied and pretty fun

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 05 2024

Sea Change by Beck. Sad Beck is best Beck, sad Beck still bad beck.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Mar 06 2024

Voice varied from great to kinda annoying, I think it suits alot of the songs but not all.

Mar 07 2024

Is it cheating to add in loads of legends into your album? Despite that, it's pretty goof, but its weird I just can't ever see myself wanting to listen to this again. It's a 3 but it's potentially the highest 3 I can give

The Man Who by Travis
Mar 11 2024

So it's like Coldplay/stereophonics/Keane/snow patrol. It was a 3 because I guess I kinda get why people like it even if I find it bland...then why does it always rain on me started playing and I was like nope it's a 2

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Mar 12 2024

John Lydon other band, its weird. So it starts off very in your face kinda thrash punk for 9 mins which is too long and too thrashy, then he does a poem for 2 mins, the a song with the lyrics to the poem. All in all its not very good

1977 by Ash
Mar 13 2024

This is actually pretty solid, nothing stands out as jaw droppingly great but nothing is truly terrible either, I enjoyed listening to it, wouldn't be offended if it was put back on

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Mar 14 2024

Weird but quite fun, not sure I'd listen to again but pleased I have now

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Mar 15 2024

Yep...thats deffo the beach boys, its fine but exactly what you'd expect and not really for me

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Mar 18 2024

I enjoyed the actual songs on this album. However there's alot of fluff and filler which slightly detracts from it and seems unnecessary.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Mar 19 2024

Not really my kinda jam, but having said this it does kinda kick and I did find myself getting engaged, its Jazz but its not big band Jazz but its not wailing all over the place

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 21 2024

Phenomenal voice, I really enjoyed this. I'd argue son of a preacher man is potentially the weakest song (although still great)

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Mar 22 2024

I wanted to like this so bad, but I just didn't, it's really weird and feels slightly nonsensical. Her voice gets super annoying at times and she often just makes nosies during the song

Close To You by Carpenters
Mar 26 2024

It's very happy....im not very happy. Its probably too nice and airy fairy for me. However she has a lovely voice even if his isn't and it's probably fine to listen too if you aren't dead inside.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Mar 27 2024

The hits are great, rest is filler.

Mar 28 2024

Objectively I know this isn't great, but I love it. Loud brash, nonsensical in your face noise

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Apr 02 2024

I remember little of this the next day

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 03 2024

Not bad but largely forgotten by next morning

Apr 04 2024

This was very weird. I quite like ambient background music at time, but this was too background even for me. It's perfectly titled, but I just don't really get why it exists on this list

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Apr 05 2024

Couldn't understand a word of this but I really really enjoyed it. Very upbeat funky samba thing

Eagles by Eagles
Apr 08 2024

It's the Eagles, it's great, it's got some hits but some real unknown gems

Timeless by Goldie
Apr 09 2024

Meh, extremely repetitive and not great

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Apr 11 2024

Waffling drivel that I will never want to hear again

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Apr 12 2024

Punched me straight in the nostalgia glands as starts with the original noise from the PS1. After that it continues with smooth, soul/hip-hop and its pretty solid. Some tracks kinda fade into background but overall this was a pleasant experience

Kenya by Machito
Apr 15 2024

Too jazz for my blood

S&M by Metallica
Apr 16 2024

Its the best Metallica album so far, but its too bloody long at 2 hours. I got though most of it and think if I was to cherry pick some of the songs it would be more enjoyable

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Apr 17 2024

Was a 2 then back to life came on and gave it a extra point

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Apr 18 2024

I sort of hate I liked this

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Apr 19 2024

This is dire is starts with a man screaming at you and gets no better. There's a few elements in a few songs that are...music, but the rest is shit. 2 because its not Serge

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Apr 22 2024

Perfectly acceptable music

Apr 23 2024

The indiest pop that ever indieed. But you know what I didn't hate it, it was pretty catchy and had some fun songs even if lyrically it's complete nonsense.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Apr 24 2024

I had a great time listening to this as it was super varied really catchy and she has a wonderful voice. Oddly, inspite of all this praise, I am not sure if I would ever choose to listen to it again. There's also one track which is feeling haunted as it has a man uncontrollably laughing during it which is very odd. I think I'm going to listen to her Spotify top 10 next.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Apr 25 2024

Wondful punch in my face nostalgia.

Music by Madonna
Apr 29 2024

This is awful, the cover of American pie is possibly the worst thing I've heard. Such a surprise as the last 2 Madonna albums I got both got 5's. She can clearly sing, but why on earth she decided to (what I assume is) autotune the hell out of her voice is beyond me

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 30 2024

It's ok

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
May 01 2024

Great time listening to this, starts off strong, wavers a bit in the middle but ends strong, I really liked Cherokee

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
May 02 2024

Its wildly all over the place and sometimes it's really bad, but I think when it hits its actually really good. The intro song also really reminds me of the legend of zelda video game. I think it hits as much as it missed so its a 3

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
May 03 2024

I think I really enjoyed this, its etheral, chilled vibes kinda reminded me of a drive through America in a convertible

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
May 06 2024

Eh I didn't like this as much as the others and his pretentious arrogance showed

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
May 07 2024

So my Spotify now seems to love these guys and are shuffling into every playlist I have, Im not too mad I also dug this alot

Being There by Wilco
May 08 2024

Better than the last wilco album, still slightly lazy vocals bit quite enjoyable

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 17 2024

This was fantastic, great energy it, she can really sing, the guests are on it just long enough without overpowering the song. It's super varied with some electronic/synth stuff going on. One or two duff tracks but hits more than is missed

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
May 22 2024

Hard hitting emo thrash punk. Loved it

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 23 2024

I ended up singing along with alot more than I thought thus it's getting a 4, however I like dirt and purple stain are a real blemish on that album

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 24 2024

Its definitely music, I completely expect someone who know more about music than me to really love this as it give of that vibe. For my uneducated ears, its very Jazz and its the kinda Jazz you would play to make people think you like jazz. I don't really like Jazz so I'll stick with Limp Bizkit

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
May 27 2024

Wow that man really loved his horse. This was alot more fun than I expected it to be, but it far too bloody long

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
May 28 2024

So I think this was fun to listen too and I want to like this more than I did, but I just can never see myself wanting to put this on again, glad I've listened to it once however

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 29 2024

I felt very cool listening to this, even if ut get a tad samey at points, reminds me of my skatepark days

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 30 2024

Mam the vocals are weak in this. It shreads it's loud it's very old school metal let down by weak vocals

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
May 31 2024

To me it's like trip goth, I was initially quite enjoying it but then it started to dip and become a bit of a slog then it kicks in with Aisha which I don't think I hated and certainly woke me up, but overall feelings are meh it's fine 2.5 rounded up to 3

Garbage by Garbage
Jun 03 2024

This was amazing, every song was a banger, it was just the right length, cant wait to listen too again

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jun 04 2024

it's like shit Bowie it's fine but I'm not really sure I get why it's here.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 05 2024

Pretty sure this is on my controversial artists now as the last album I had by him was a 1, but this was great, its deals with some real issues relevant at the time and still pretty relevant now without any of the slurs and vulgarity that rap does.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jun 06 2024

I enjoyed this alot, but its weird, I think now I've listened to it I'm pretty content to never listen to it again. The few tracks I vaguely knew are amazing and the rest of still good...but its really too old and "pure" for me to rate any higher than a 3

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Jun 07 2024

Dull, no idea why it's on this list

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jun 10 2024

I think this is close to one of the worst things I've ever inflicted upon my unsuspecting ears, it's noisey, completely random trash and I hated it so much

Jun 11 2024

This is offensively shit and should not be included on this is. The best tracks are where cee lo takes a back seat and the guest does the heavy lifting

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 12 2024

This was great as i had just started my holiday in mexico.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jun 13 2024

I found this very interesting to listen too, had a weird kinda rock meets 60s vibe, a tad moody but overall it captured my attention

Scum by Napalm Death
Jun 14 2024

This was a tough listen but I do think it has some merits

John Prine by John Prine
Jun 17 2024

Lyrically this is still so relevant, musically, not massively my thing but I didn't hate it, it's a 3

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Jun 18 2024

Reminded me of kate bush, really enjoyable stuff

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jun 19 2024

I am rating this almost a year after listening to it because apparently I didnt rate it at the time....its fine...I wish I didnt have to come back to it

Slayed? by Slade
Jun 20 2024

Its okay, but feels a bit safe and bland at times

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jun 25 2024

Bloody fuck this was annoying, voice is kinda all over the place and just warrbles, piano is fine....and probably the best part of it.

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jun 26 2024

Thrash punk, I quite enjoyed it, it hits hard, doesn't outstay its welcome and leave

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jun 27 2024

Really enjoyed this which surprised me as not really got sonic youth before

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jun 28 2024

I respect all these women, but this just isn't for me dawg

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jul 02 2024

This certainly was a chore (haw-haw), it drones on like nobodies business, there are a few highlights but they are few and far between and overall I just got bored.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jul 03 2024

Dull C&W most interesting thing was reading some info on the wiki page and I now can't even remember that

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jul 04 2024

Sad music for sad people. You know what though, I actually enjoyed listening to this, it's certainly a mood killer but it's quite powerful and his voice suits the tone and subjects well. Original a 4 bur ended up listening to twice in a day so now a 5

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jul 05 2024

Fun, rocky jazz fusion with random instruments sprinkled enjoy, enjoyed this alot more than expected

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jul 08 2024

This was fantastic. If you basically imagine what a blues album should sound like and this is the blueprint (pun intended) I throughly enjoyed this and even when it finished and kept playing other similar artists I left it on an easy 5 a nice reminder of why I am doing this project

Jul 09 2024

It's...okay, so cube has always been pretty good at spitting and isn't afraid to tackle some (sadly still current) issues, but I can't shake the fact that his beats aren't great and it does assault you a bit. I think it's a 3 from me as if I wanted to listen to his stuff I'd cherry pick songs and not an album

Calenture by The Triffids
Jul 10 2024

Not bad, just not something I would ever choose to listen too again

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jul 11 2024

It's an incredible well written heartfelt pop album, if I HAD to nitpick, I wish it was a bit more rocky in places but the ending track is such a banger

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 12 2024

So much sonic youth!!! This is the weakest by far

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 16 2024

This was an experience to listen to, I totally get people not digging it, it's like a slightly whineyer radiohead, but I dug it alot. I'm interested enough to listen again and when it finished I found myself carrying on with the rest of his discography

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jul 18 2024

Apparently I quite like the Byrds as majority of albums from me have got a 4 (one got a 1 which was sweetheart if the rodeo). It continues, this is catchy and an enjoyable listen...do we need 5 Byrds albums... probably not, but they've been spaced far enough appart that I've not got completely sick of them...yet

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jul 19 2024

It's okay, it's ambient techno babble, think massive Attack with no personality...

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jul 22 2024

Weirdly boring, there is so much better Britney out there I really want to understand why this album

Jul 23 2024

The World is a Ghetto by War. This was funky and got some real soul behind it. I think I was into it enough that I want to listen again. It's a 4 from me...but just

Jul 24 2024

After lamenting last week that better living through chemistry isn't as good as you've come along way baby, I've had You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fatboy Slim. I still think I'm right and this is a lot better, I do agree that it can get very repetitive at times and I'm not a fan of a few songs as it feels like the drag on too long, but still good stuff and a 4

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 25 2024

Really average, quickly fell into the background when driving the car this morning. Scrapes a 3

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jul 26 2024

Reminded me of samba you would put in a video game or YouTube video but you didn't want to pay a licence for it so got a royalty free version

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jul 30 2024

It's not bad, but it feels very all over the place and I think there's actually bad songs on it. It's a 3 because I think there's better Kate Bush out there and I think I had higher expectations for this

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jul 31 2024

I actually think this is bland to the point of almost being offensive. The first song is okay, but it deteriorates quickly into background noise.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Aug 01 2024

Great beats, lyrically pretty interesting, no idea that RATM song was a cover from this album, overall really enjoyed

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 05 2024

I liked some of but hated parts too, its a weird and wild ride, the good is okay, but the bad is really poor

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Aug 06 2024

I didnt hate this but it's just not what I would ever choose to listen too again

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 07 2024

I need to try and be objective as possible here. So I hate the random skits at the end of every bloody song and they go on far too long and that detracts from the album as a whole...but the subject matter, Kendricks rapping ability, the beats, all so good. Its a 4 that could have and should have been a 5 Me trying to justify why it's not a 1 too the baby boomers at work Okay going on a tedtalks here. It genuinely does tackle the issue we all have with rap (misogyny, glorifying gang culture, drug culture and the violence associated to that) and really delves into how Kendrick was influenced by all this growing up and how it shaped him into a person he didn't like and he was lucky enough to be able to escape this by focusing on his music career, but he is lucky as most young black men in the ghetto don't have the luxury. The way Kendrick can we've so many double meaning into each verse still makes me think he's lyrically so gifted. He also has Drake on some tracks which was a real surprise to me as they absolutely hate each other now. TL;dr Kendrick good rap honestly. Reader.. they still think it's a 1...

The Slider by T. Rex
Aug 08 2024

Each song I think a enjoyed alot and it started off very strong, it did start to drag and wander towards the end, but overall I think I enjoyed this

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Aug 09 2024

Not the worst thing I've listened too, but strong contender. It's one of those arty pretentious wank albums that makes noise and calls it music, song 2 (not the blur one) is offensive to my ears, it's shit and I want to burn it.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Aug 12 2024

Sort of punky, I enjoyed this a decent amount, not 100% sure I'd ever listen to again but it was fun

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Aug 13 2024

I mean it's okay, it's also only 17 mins long so I wasn't able to for a strong opinion either way

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Aug 14 2024

This fuckkng rocked, really enjoyed this, Mike Patton and his vocal range is incredible. Shout out to the video "The Darkness" where the darkness is voiced by him

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 15 2024

I had a fun time listening to this, I am not sure its anything special, but my ears liked and the brain released the happy chemicals

War by U2
Aug 16 2024

Eh, back to not really getting U2

Picture Book by Simply Red
Aug 19 2024

Honestly, I think this is kinda wanky, I guess it's not bad and it's probably just not my thing but it's too cheesy and feels like it should just be playing in the background of tesco.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Aug 20 2024

I had a good time listening to this, it sometimes goes on a bit too long , but its bluesy and cool and I enjoyed it.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Aug 21 2024

It's ambient kinda trance chill vibes and I'm all about that, shocked I've never listened to this before, there's one real duff track

Synchronicity by The Police
Aug 22 2024

Okay, so I'm putting it out there, every step you take is fucking creepy and I hate it alot, also wth is going on with mother.... But having complained, this is really solid poppy fun, it gets stronger as it goes on

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Aug 23 2024

Really solid swing jazz kinda thing. I recognised the voice, turns out it's the monkey from Jungle book.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Aug 26 2024

It's funky and bluesy and it's very pleasant, but I can't shake the feeling that I don't think it's essential listening and if I wanted to listen to this style I would choose other things.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Aug 27 2024

It's kinda what I needed this morning as it's dance/trance/house which feels like great gym music....man does it start to drag though.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Aug 28 2024

Never done this top to bottom before (despite it only being 35 mins long). Great the whole way through, paticularly big fan of Station to Station and wild in the wind.

Aug 29 2024

Like this is fine, I quite enjoyed listening to it, but I really don't get why its essential listening, what does it do that's "special"

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Aug 30 2024

Weird one as I quite liked this kinds house meets 60s vibe, but I've not a clue why it's "essential" and on this list. It's going to be a 3 because it does drag towards the end

Smile by Brian Wilson
Sep 02 2024

Weird and fantastical. I enjoyed more than I didn't

Country Life by Roxy Music
Sep 04 2024

Fantastic album cover and the album as a whole is really enjoyable

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Sep 05 2024

In the same year that Illmatic came out, we also got this, it feels so dated, some of the themes it tried to tackle are okay, but overall this wasnt my jam

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Sep 06 2024

As the kids say, this is a "vibe". It's my kinda thing where it's a bit trancey and sythy, the vocals are a tad hit or miss

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Sep 09 2024

Dude loves his horse alot, just not sure I get this, musically kinda interesting but lyrically just a bit weird.

Vespertine by Björk
Sep 10 2024

Just not really my thing

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Sep 11 2024

As live album this really slaps, I might just be in a good mood but I think I'll listen to this again

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Sep 12 2024

It's like medieval kinda folk music...the more I listened to it the more I hated it.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Sep 13 2024

Ohh I liked this, it's felt easy to just lose yourself in it, not every song was fantastic, but it kept me engaged the entire way through, it's a 4 but it was bloody close to a 5

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 16 2024

Previous REM has really surprised me, I expected it to be whiney and a bit poppy and just a bit annoying (mainly due to only exposure was everybody hurts) and I've actually really enjoyed it. This however, is whiney, a bit poppy and kinda annoying

OK Computer by Radiohead
Sep 17 2024

Turns out I quite like radiohead, this is a surprise to me. This is one of the weaker albums but still pretty solid

Truth by Jeff Beck
Sep 18 2024

Today i had the much more interesting truth by Jeff beck, bluesy cool vibes I enjoyed this alot, the random greensleves is a bit random, but yeah really enjoyed this so think it's getting a 5

Doolittle by Pixies
Sep 19 2024

've had one pixes album before and found it underwhelming. This however was fantastic, I can see why it influenced so many people, it's a 5 as I've already listened to it twice today

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Sep 23 2024

Bit odd at times but overall enjoyed

The Libertines by The Libertines
Sep 24 2024

Few okay songs on this, but honestly, it's pretty generic indie from that time...its not bad, just hardly important, 2.5 rounded to a 3

Movies by Holger Czukay
Sep 27 2024

Movies by Holger Czukay. It's different, and that's about the only positive thing I can say about this. I feel like I've made the review about a kid smashing his face into his new Casio keyboard before, but it really applies here, pigs onik, thunder claps, sirens wail, man hums and it all gets put together under the thinly veiled noise that it's claiming is 'music". One of the worst things I've listened to I turned it off

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Oct 01 2024

Beautiful voices, I feel the live aspect didn't help this however, I actually sought out some her studio stuff after this and it's worlds better

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Oct 03 2024

I listened to this but cant tell you anything about it

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Oct 04 2024

As Elvis goes it's solid and enjoyable, but I'm not really a huge Elvis fan

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Oct 07 2024

This was rough AF, theres a pretty good guitar solo in one of the songs. Then a kazoo kicks in, then it just beeps for 2mins then I think something dies, then a fax machine boots up, it's dogshit, I didn't finish it and I never will 1

Document by R.E.M.
Oct 08 2024

Enjoyable and recognised more than expected

Dare! by The Human League
Oct 09 2024

I loved this, the 80s vibes just dripped off this and it climaxes in a banger of a song, campy OTT and cheesey AF

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Oct 10 2024

Not many of her well known hits on here but she's got a cracking voice, I was into this alot, it's a 4 because there's maybe a few weak tracks and I think her other album is better

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Oct 11 2024

Ultimate rockNroll, loved all of this from start to finish, it's unbelievably dumb, but it's so much fun and slightly campy, but you can sing along and so many songs are just belters

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Oct 14 2024

Have never heard of The Go-Go's and this album is amazing, it's kinda punkish, it's got a bucket load of energy and lasts just long enough without overstaying. I think it's a other 5 which may make this my best week ever

Oct 15 2024

Not my favourite talking heads album but I still think I enjoyed more than I didn't, does veg a bit weird at times

Hms Fable by Shack
Oct 16 2024

Eh, better bands were doing better stuff at the same time this came out. It's not bad, it's just nothing really special or defining about it.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Oct 17 2024

Pleasant enough, not really my thing but glad Ive listened too, just doubt I ever will again

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Oct 18 2024

Joan Baez by Joan Baez. Reminds me of very early Disney music, where the women sings as high pitched as she can and her voice does that slightly annoying warble noise. I kinda hate it

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Oct 21 2024

So I quite enjoyed listening to this as it was harder and heavier than I expected it to be for the time it came out. But I'm not sure it was anything special. After going on their wiki it seems this was the "first" metal album, which makes sense as to why it was heavy, but it feels like it's on this list because of that rather than the quality of music, I guess it's a 3

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Oct 22 2024

Its exceptionally good isn't it. I've not really jelled with Mr Wonder yet, but this album changed my opinion

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 23 2024

This was a surprise, jazzy but not complete random noises, I found myself really getting into this

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Oct 24 2024

Subject matter is shit, vocals are shit, the beats are...fine, theres one okay song but I hated alot of this, I then navigated to the Wikipedia and found out that our Doctor is a actually homicidal, extraterrestrial, time-traveling gynecologist and surgeon and I hate it even more because of this, it does explain the opening track being noises from a porn film. Fuck this noise

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Oct 25 2024

Dad rock to the extreme, fun mindless noise, it's simple and dumb but that's fine

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Oct 29 2024

I do not understand why this is on the list, it's not bad, but it feels a bit soulless and like I've already heard alot of it from other people. Again it's not bad, but it's instantly forgettable and just not sure why it's on the list

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Oct 30 2024

This was okay, I don't remember much of it

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Oct 31 2024

This hit so hard, his lyrics are sometimes graphic and a bit intense, but the ending song is one of the greatest ways to end an album

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Nov 01 2024

Just dandy, but nothing id play again

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Nov 05 2024

This had more depth to it than I think I was originally going to appreciate, it's good I expected just country and western fluff but yeah a suprise to me, just scrapes a 4 as not sure how often I would listen to this

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Nov 06 2024

I like the exorcist bit, but then it waffles and he slowly starts talking about what instruments are being played and once they are all in it's okay again, but that's just track 1. Them track 2 was largely forgeable. It's a 3 because of the start of track 1 and the end of track 1

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Nov 07 2024

This album contains both rock and soul equally and that's just nifty

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Nov 08 2024

Right I'll get this out the way now, I don't like Kings of Leon and think of them in a similar way as Coldplay, they do one pretty good song (closer) because it was a completely different sound for them....so I don't like this album, it's generic British indie from 2003 and I struggled to listen to all of it, 2 because it's not Serge

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Nov 11 2024

Holy shit this is what I'm hear for. I had to look up the genre and the best description I saw for it was tex mex. It's sort of lofi kinda jazz kinda light rock with mexican influences and it's fucking brilliant

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 12 2024

I quite like talking heads, this is one of the weaker albums but it's still pretty solid

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Nov 14 2024

Ever thoughts how Andy's mums toys are also probably called woody and buzz?

Low by David Bowie
Nov 15 2024

I've weirdly always struggled with Bowie and I really want to get "it". This...this I got

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Nov 18 2024

Interesting to listen too, unsure when id listen again but glad I've been exposed to this

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Nov 19 2024

This was truly bizarre and not really in a good way. Every time I thought I'd find myself getting into it, it would end, or change or some lyrical content was zap me straight back, I don't think this is very good

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 20 2024

I dig this, it's like girl rock punk it keeps you engaged great voices, great music

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Nov 21 2024

This was darker than I expected, its pretty good but I think I went in with the mindset of it being sexy and smooth and its really not, it get a tad too preachy, but I think I was interested and enjoyed it

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Nov 22 2024

This wasn't my thing it started so weird, picked up a bit then just found myself getting distracted

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Nov 25 2024

Incredible stuff, RIP Keith. This album is just none stop, punch you in the face, adrenaline filled noise and I'm here for it

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 26 2024

Yeah I loved this, Come on Eileen is fine if not super over played but the rest of the album is really solid

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nov 27 2024

I had very low expectations for this as I was expecting some waffle folky nonsense, I was wrong and surprised, its got a bit of rock, a bit of ska, a bit of blues, its good stuff

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 28 2024

Just noises

Nov 29 2024

Delightfully batshit it's ambient and acousticy. Your dictionary sucks and lyrically sounds like it was written by a 14 year old who thought it sounded deep, but overall I got into this

Risque by CHIC
Dec 02 2024

Meh I mostly enjoyed this to hear the original samples that better songs use (see daft punk). It's a tad too disco for me and every song goes in for too long. Good Times does not need to be 8 mins long

Dec 03 2024

Is this one of the worst things I've ever listened too?....well yes actually it is. I am listening to this while in a waiting room in essex to check if I have broken my foot, and honestly I wasn't sure the experience could be much worse I thought I'd put this on too "pass the time". Reader, this was a mistake

Different Class by Pulp
Dec 04 2024

This was great, kinda punk kinda ska, I can see this being in regular rotation

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Dec 05 2024

Fine, just sort of glazed over me, but I think I enjoyed it

Ten by Pearl Jam
Dec 06 2024

Yep, this was solid great fun!

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Dec 10 2024

Excellent really accessible jazz

Future Days by Can
Dec 11 2024

I don't think this is bad, I'm just not sure it's for me

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 12 2024

Yeah this felt like propper gurlpunk. It slapped hard and I'm surprised I've never heard of it before

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 13 2024

Seriously solid first half, drops off a bit at the end but still loved alot of this

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Dec 16 2024

This rocked, her voice is so good, powerful when it needs to be, soulful when it needs to be. Yeah I loved this

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Dec 18 2024

Interesting, it started off quite fun and kinda ambient very synth heavy, got to be in a right mood to listen too but I think I was

Play by Moby
Dec 19 2024

Yeah the hits on this are great stuff, there is a bit of filler but alot of killer

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Dec 20 2024

This rocked, hit at the right times and was a great driving album

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Dec 23 2024

Urrrgh I think I wanted to like this more than I did, but I just found it dragged and did not draw me in at all

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Dec 24 2024

Despite the hate, I weirdly quite like alot of Morrissey stuff. Yes, yes I know he's POS but doing this list and rating them based on the artist is so tricky so I am trying my darndest too separate them. Oh but back to the album, its okay...there is better stuff by him its a 3

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Dec 25 2024

Meh I think Demon days is a better album but this has some good hits on. The remix of 19-2000 slaps and I hadn't actually heard the DnB version of Clint Eastwood and that also goes hard

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Dec 26 2024

I listened to this at 1am on a 100 mile drive home....I remember nothing about this

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 07 2025

I have always struggled with live albums and it's needs to really blow me away or the crowd actually benefit the performance for me to enjoy it....this didn't it's fine

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jan 10 2025

It's dumb, obnoxious, misogynistic as hell, but I kinda love it. Because it's so dumb it's hard to take seriously and the beats slap

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Jan 13 2025

Repetitive and kinda dull

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Jan 14 2025

It's kinda airy fairy and doesn't really go anywhere, it's pretty much ambient to the point of nothingness, it's deffo not bad....but it's just a bit forgettable

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jan 15 2025

I found this largely unlistenable, its got too much just noise and it was a struggle to vibe with

The Coral by The Coral
Jan 16 2025

I mean it's okay, it feels a bit manufactured and soulless but having said that it's catchy at times....Ill give it a 3 because I didn't hate it, but I just can't ever think that I will utter the phrase "oh let's listen to the coral album"

Jan 17 2025

Super catchy, I'm unsure why it is but I actually had an okay time listening to this inspite of hits being overplayed to hell

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jan 20 2025

This was pretty good, but I have had better Paul Simon...its a high 3

Tommy by The Who
Jan 21 2025

I had listened to this before and enjoyed it, I also got told to watch the movie and honestly....I dont remember a thing about it

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jan 22 2025

Too sickly and just no bite to it at all

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jan 24 2025

I found this pretty unbearable, I don't know what it is about his voice but it's a cheese grater on my ears, the music I guess is fine but it seems to substandard Cali/Indie rock it just faded into nothingness for me

Ctrl by SZA
Jan 27 2025

Feels very generic and over produced

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jan 28 2025

Entertainment by Gang Of Four. It's okay kinda early punk, but for me it needs more of a bite. Although I did discover my favourite punk band (IDLES) did a cover of one of there songs which I massively prefer

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jan 29 2025

I actually found this to be really dull , I don't think it's bad, but I do think it's extremely middle of the road. It felt like the sort of music that would be played in M&S...it's 2.5...

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jan 30 2025

This sucks.... It drones and the voice is annoying and it's that really annoying kinda folk but then I think he might be singing in a different language but I can't tell because his voice is so droney and it's shit and I hate it

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jan 31 2025

I enjoyed the learning aspect of this album immensely, but honestly, it's just not hugely my kind of music, but if I ever want to listen to this style again I will choose this

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Feb 04 2025

Fine but largely forgotten

GI by Germs
Feb 05 2025

Really fun, really loud thrashy punk, I had a good time listening to this

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Feb 06 2025

I have no idea if this is a controversial opinion but all Sinatra sounds the same to me. It's good stuff but I couldn't tell you what was better/worse about this album Vs the other ones I've had. With the only exception being that making whoopee is a shit title and not a great song

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 07 2025

Skylarking by XTC. XTC (which I've now only just clocked is probably called ecstasy...am I just dumb) was a sleeper hit for me in this project, and this album hasn't disappointed me either. There's just something about it that makes it a real treat to listen to, I did occasionally find myself zoning out a bit but then it would all change up and engross me again

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 10 2025

Funk smooth and easy to vibe with

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 11 2025

It's fun, a tad bluesy in place, I've also only just discovered is Janice Joplin so it's got great vocals, but I feel like it starts to waver in the end..

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Feb 12 2025

I had no clue about this album but I had a bloody good time listening too it, I love the lazy album over and the album name popped me immensely

Drunk by Thundercat
Feb 13 2025

This was so weird. There's a video where I guy sings all about this history of Japan and it really reminded me of that....this was enjoyable I think but I feel like I need multiple listens to appreciate it

Nixon by Lambchop
Feb 14 2025

I can categorically say that this was an album that had songs on it....and that's about it as it was so forgettable

D by White Denim
Feb 17 2025

Fun catchy good vibes a project highlight

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Feb 18 2025

I really enjoyed this, it was repetitive but can see early draft punk in there

What can I say about this album. Its the sound of a generation of angry angst ridden kids. Rollin was the undertakers intro music and was possibly the most overplayed song that year. Fred is an awful human, but the rest of the bad is incredibly talented (especially Wes Borland). I know it's a biased scored but that's the fun of this project

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Feb 20 2025

Scottish Reage, need I say more... Oh yes? Oh then it's shit

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Feb 21 2025

This is very weird. It's quite lazy but the style really reminds me of gorrilaz and I love them. I dunno where I sit with this as I think there were quite a few good tracks but also some that just felt unfinished....

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Feb 25 2025

It think it's fine, just not really anything special or memorable

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Feb 26 2025

Think freeform Jazz....but rock instead. It started off interesting and then the bass player started doing his own thing, so the guitarist started doing his own thing and it just sounded. Like a mess, I made it to the last track and 2 mins into it I noped out.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 27 2025

Meh the hits are enjoyable but a whole album felt a bit like a slog

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Feb 28 2025

Its old school rap that I just dont love, it needs more of a bite to it. I also think the mastering (I think that's the word) is crazy and you cant hear the vocals some of the time.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Mar 03 2025

I used to work for Virgin Megastore many years ago and that song was played EVERY FUCKING MORNING when the shutters opened... Shockingly if you skip that one song this is actually an okay album

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 04 2025

Graceland by Paul Simon. This is why I'm doing this project, I get so close to being burnt out listening to either really forgettable shit or ...just shit that it's such a breath of fresh air when I get something I listen to and I'm like oh...oh this is different. I really enjoy the variety of instruments used throughout. You can call me Al is a wild trip of a song. It's a 5, it's added to my wish list on discogs

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 05 2025

Honestly I'm just glad I'm done with sonic youth. I didn't hate this but my god there's too much of this band on this list...I'm glad that I was that last one

I See You by The xx
Mar 06 2025

I mean there are two The XX albums on here and I'm not sure why. I apparently enjoyed the last one (it got a 4) but remember absolutely fuck all about it. This is fine, it's noise, she's good he's not...

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Mar 07 2025

I think I loved this, it was like it's music for a made up movie and it's just a real joy to listen too but you have to be in a specific mood and I'm not actually too sure what mood that is, still I had a riot

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Mar 10 2025

So....I believe this album has been hailed as timeless and a genre defining album....I just found it really really boring. I feel like I should like it but honestly I couldn't wait for it to be over.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Mar 11 2025

It's much like the last album, it waffles a bit at times but when it gets there it hits so hard, easy money is a tune and Larks Tounge PT 3 is really good too. I think it's a 4 but I didn't enjoy it as much as court of the crimson king

Dog Man Star by Suede
Mar 14 2025

Dog Man Star by Suede. It's great stuff, I didn't love suede self titled+ thought it was fine but it was also album number 22) where as this I got into alot, I don't think it's flawless but it grabbed me enough to get a 4

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Mar 17 2025

The subjects that this album deals with shows you how little American politics has changed in 50 years. Having said that having a interesting/deep subject matter dosent always make a great album, this had some high spots of real blues, but also a lot of lows which were just a bit dull...it's probably one of those "inspired so many other artists" albums but overall it's just a bit meh....it'll sling a 3 just about

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 18 2025

I dont hate it all but some songs were so much better than other (Somebody to love and White Rabbit) overall it was underwhelming

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Mar 19 2025

Wonderful stuff here, gets a bit safe at times but still tremendous

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Mar 20 2025

I really couldnt get on with this, I don't think she's got a great voice and lyrically it's just not really anything special

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Mar 21 2025

I remember listening to this and then instantly forgot everything about it

Mar 24 2025

It's super repetitive but I think I got into what it was trying to do, this weird trance ethereal kinda vibe I can dig, not one for all the time but deffo ones for certain times

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Mar 25 2025

Weird and fun but not likely to listen too again

LP1 by FKA twigs
Mar 26 2025

I found this incredibly difficult to listen too

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Mar 27 2025

I seem to be getting alot of electronic trance music at the moment. This one is fine but I fear blends into all the rest I've had recently

On The Beach by Neil Young
Mar 28 2025

It's really rather good, it's kinda chilled and a bit bluesy at times and I was surprised how much I had heard before elsewhere..

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 31 2025

I don't actually remember this at all...which I think speaks for itself

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Apr 01 2025

I really got into this, it's got alot going on but I had a fun time

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 03 2025

This has elements that are great hiding within it, but mostly it's like if rock and freeform Jazz had a baby and then dropped it on its head

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 04 2025

Never heard of them and pretty sure I will forget about them before the end of the day. It's one where I'm just not sure why I needed to hear this before I die. It's hard to understand what the hell is going on and I actually fine all the vocals rather irritating...

Low-Life by New Order
Apr 07 2025

This was really special

#1 Record by Big Star
Apr 09 2025

Interesting and I got into this

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Apr 10 2025

I actually weirdly enjoyed this, its kinda trippy and pretty chill but has some really profound stuff tucked away...not sure why it gets so much hate

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Apr 11 2025

blugh

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Apr 14 2025

Turns out I like German Electro music and this might be the best example of it on this list

The Undertones by The Undertones
Apr 15 2025

This album is so bipolar, it's got some really solid songs followed by complete trash...I think the good outweighs the bad but the bad is bad enough that I can't really give it more than a 3

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 16 2025

Very fun American poo punk rock

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Apr 17 2025

Yeah actually I quite enjoyed this, I'm not really into lazy vocals but I think this really worked for some songs and then it belts out when it needs to.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Apr 18 2025

This is perfectly fine....it's inoffensive, it's in tune, it's reasonably pleasant to listen to, yet it's completely vanilla. It's a 3 because it's not good enough to get a 4 but I do hasten to add that it's not bad

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Apr 21 2025

I'm never too sure about live albums but this really slapped and I'm shocked how into it I got

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Apr 23 2025

This feels like cheating because so bet if I could get award winning artists like Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Stevie Nicks to collaborate with me I would make an album that would appear on this list...and honestly I think I would do a better job. I didn't think it was bad it's gots some tracks that are actually great (there's one that sounds like it should be in a James Bond movie) but there's a great deal of waffle and actually shit sounding songs....it's going to be a 3 and I get why it's on the list as I do think everyone should have to suffer through this but only once. I don't get why it's average score is so low however

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 24 2025

Interesting kinda world blues but I'm not actually sure what the hell is going on. I enjoyed elements of each song and I think I would tell people I like it to give them the impression I'm smart and know what I'm talking about....but between friends I'm not really sure I do get it, and I'm an idiot who has no idea what's going on

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Apr 25 2025

Jesus Christ the vocals on this are awful.

Django Django by Django Django
Apr 28 2025

Inoffensive but completely bland, so much so I apparently forgot to score it till much later, so I listened to it again

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Apr 29 2025

This was pretty pleasant but utterly un-inspired. there are much better EWF albums out there

Guero by Beck
Apr 30 2025

It's very beck, it's the best beck I've heard but still not a fan

Make Yourself by Incubus
May 02 2025

Goddamn the battlescracth galatica song sucks! It's like someone learned they can scratch on a turn table did it for the first time and recorded it. Apart from that, the rest of the album is fine, the hits are the stand outs (drive is a great song) but I think I expected more from it...high 3

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 05 2025

I really liked how dumb in your face metal this is, it has a few luls but overall I headbanged my way through a Friday and it was glorious

May 06 2025

I wanted to get into this alot more than I could, it's just a bit dull

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 07 2025

Cool effortless jazz, its the kinda Jazz I think I could get into, but also I feel its so inoffensive it could be played in a smoking room, or elevator or on hold to virgin media....

Sulk by The Associates
May 08 2025

Meh

May 09 2025

Synth pop dance eletronica noise that feels like it should be from the late 80s early 90s but it's actually 2013. It's not really my thing usually but this slapped, it just had a really infectious energy about it that kept me engaged, and even when he sings it's detracts a bit but not enough to annoy me.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
May 12 2025

Like wish.com version of the Beatles, it's not bad, but if I wanted to listen to this style I would choose the Beatles evertime

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
May 13 2025

I loved this, all of it is dialed up too 11 and everything is long but still seems to be the perfect length

Mask by Bauhaus
May 14 2025

Its okay

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
May 16 2025

Funky but will never listen to this again

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
May 20 2025

Punky, but theres better stuff out there

Disintegration by The Cure
May 21 2025

Dark, moody and goth as hell I loved it 5

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 30 2025

Meh I didnt love this, the hits are perfectly ear worm but that's about it

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jun 02 2025

He has a very fine voice, but it's all a bit slow and safe and kind of like a record you would put on for 20 mins when your wrapped up in a blanket on the sofa with a hot chocolate and it's pissing down with rain outside. Unfortunately today it's Friday, the weather is fine, it's payday so I'm just not really feeling it.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jun 03 2025

Meh I don't think this guy can sing and the guitar just wails and drones, really not for me

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 04 2025

Turns out I've never listened to this in it entirely before....I know this because my fucking god "the girl is mine" is a horrible creepy song that should be erased from existence. Apart from that rest of the album slaps

Repeater by Fugazi
Jun 05 2025

Interesting one this, I think I vibed with it but I'm also pretty sure I was going to give it a 3. Then I went on lunch and it just happened to be playing again and it just kinda hit me a bit. It can't be a 5 because frankly it's just not that good, but it's better and deserves more than a 4. I then did something I never really do and read the comments before grading it and the top comment really stuck out to me as Mr Fugazi seems like a good dude and the comment was written by someone who helped produce the album

Lost Souls by Doves
Jun 06 2025

Fantastic, it's kinda like Radiohead meets massive attack meets Keane but it's all the best parts of them. Perfect music for this mornings traffic commute as was very calming and a easy to get lost in

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jun 09 2025

A band that has this cool an album title should produce better music. It's meh and just kinda drones on, I don't really think he can sing.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jun 11 2025

Too dolly, no bite, just a bit dull

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 13 2025

I quite like the opening track, but there was a bit too much of this and I just really struggle with Simon and Garfunkel in general

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jun 17 2025

Meh I couldn't get into this really

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jun 18 2025

I quite enjoy this, probably not a 5 but better than an 3...if only there was a number in-between the them. I found a few tracks a tad annoying but overall very pleasant easy listening

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 19 2025

This slapped, upbeat, lyrically random but actually really good, I love her style, good vibes, great album.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 20 2025

Excellent stuff, great summer music

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jun 23 2025

Great voice but I found the majority of this forgettable

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jun 24 2025

I bloody loved this, great vocals, easy to listen to but still with enough substance to keep me engaged the whole way, great discovery

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jun 25 2025

This is a really interesting case study on he mental decline of Mr West. I understand and apricate that the majority or modern hip hop needs some dick swinging arrogance, but obviously Mr West is now the king of that. You compare this album to his earlier stuff (collage drop out) and its night and day on the themes and arrogance displayed...I mean for fucks sake this album has a song on it called I am God where he is chilling with the big J talking about "stacking his millions"...which honestly I don't think "our lord and saviour" would give a single fuck about. Then you move onto My Twisted Dark Beautiful fantasy and that's a real show of how bi-polar and mentally unwell he is, and honestly is a fascinating listen Anyways, is the album good? Yes, in spite of the how awful a person Mr West is, the production is as to be expected, phenomenal . The lyrics are fine if not reeking of I am 17 years old and this sounds edgy/cool. Its the weakest album of his on this list and I have to score it according to that.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jun 26 2025

I had a absolute joy listing to this and I'm so glad to discover them as it's right up my alley.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jun 27 2025

Meh I really found this dragged, it made me think of oasis, if oasis whined all the time

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jun 30 2025

The just felt really soulless and bland, its very happy...maybe overly so but I bounced off this very quickly

Jul 01 2025

Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 as the kids say. Yeah this has aged well and is still a joy to listen too, express yourself will never not make me smile, it's a 4 because all of these guys (except maybe EZE) went on to do much better solo stuff but it's still great

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 02 2025

I think I had a good time listening to this, it's kinda folky but with some fun swing vibes too it, not sure if I would even listen to again but it's sitting at a 4

Jul 03 2025

This is the album that made me realise that there was a whole world of music outside Nu-Metal. I remember picking it up from HMV in harrow on CD and would listen to it while doing some temp work for the finance team. I also hid this album from my friends as I was ashamed that I enjoyed it as it didn't make me a true metal head. Objectively....it's got some real flaws and the language/slurs are from a very different time. Also the track where shaggy 2 dope is sucking off silent jay is a track I will skip 100% of the time and I also remember as a younger man not actually understanding what was going on. But in spite of this...I will never not love this album

Fuck me Loretta cheer up love. Frankly I don't blame the guy for leaving you as quite frankly I would have slipped some poison into your nighttime whisky. This sucked, I hated it and couldn't wait for it to be over.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Jul 07 2025

Imagine the music that would be played while a clown hacks you to death with a candy cane shaped into a axe and that's what it sounds like Update: This album caused a migraine

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jul 08 2025

I agree with the common consensus that it's held together with a few real great songs, but apart from that it's pretty meh...

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jul 09 2025

Great voice but this was pretty forgettable

Atomizer by Big Black
Jul 10 2025

Very meh....it's loud and abrasive but not in a fun unique was...more in a kinda annoying boring way

Debut by Björk
Jul 11 2025

I just don't get Björk, this is fine, but towards the end I was very ready for it to be over, it just a bit much for a morning listen

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Jul 15 2025

Mediocre it just had nothing that gripped me

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 17 2025

Yeah solid and enjoyable, few different moments but overall pretty great

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jul 18 2025

Weirdly kinda dull, I've heard fantastic things about this but it just glossed over me

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 22 2025

Very funky, but not my jam

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Jul 23 2025

Gave me Depeche Mode vibes only less interesting. I enjoyed it to start but then I got a bit bored

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 24 2025

I found myself getting into this as I think it's repetitive beats help whilst at the Jim. Having said that I don't remember a huge amount about it apart from the few singles/stand out tracks. I think I could see myself listening to it again whist on a treadmill/swimming/coding/insert braining numbing activity here

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jul 28 2025

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd. Meeeeeh it's just a bit odd. I think the bass in it is excellent but unfortunately it's drowned out my Lydons wails and a guitar player that knows what he is doing....just about. It's 2 because it's miles better than their self titled album

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jul 29 2025

More music needs flutes, I bloody loved this it's an instant 5 from me and is likely my next purchase

90 by 808 State
Aug 05 2025

I really didn't get this, I can respect that it's the original/first of its kinda back then but man it's so generic and if I wanted to listen to something like this there is much better newer stuff out there

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 06 2025

This was great, it's catchy and easy to listen too

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 07 2025

This is a biased review, I love this album, I think the production is up there with early Kayne stuff and lyrically it's genius. I don't love a skit and there are a few too many but it's still a phenomenal album

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Aug 08 2025

The definition of dad rock and that's not a bad thing, loved this!

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 11 2025

Pretty samey but I did have a good time listening

Aug 14 2025

I knew of this album but never listened to it....meh it's not great, it has alot of energy but not a great deal or talent, there's a few good songs but it's a 3

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 15 2025

I really enjoyed this, it's a bit like imagine dragons with more bite, I am pretty sure it's manufactured to shit but regardless of all that it's got some bops on it.

Aug 18 2025

Absolutely great stuff, I get that people hate his voice but something just really resonates with me and I thoroughly enjoyed this

The Specials by The Specials
Aug 20 2025

Bloody love the specials

Copper Blue by Sugar
Aug 21 2025

I think this is really solid stuff, it's fun to listen too, yeah it doesn't set the world on fire, but it's really not bad

Electric by The Cult
Aug 22 2025

Its certainly rock 'n' roll. It is perfectly fine, but I have no clue why its on this list

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Aug 25 2025

I can see why I should like this and I really don't think it's bad, I just cannot imagine why I would ever want to listen to it again.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 26 2025

Jay Z is extraordinarily talented in this album, I think production and lyrically this is up there with one of the best of all time

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Aug 27 2025

I mean at the very least, it's interesting. But way too much fluff and nonsense that really detracts, glad I listened, will never again and no interest in seeing the film as a result of listening to this

Night Life by Ray Price
Aug 28 2025

Nah man, just annoying

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 29 2025

I mean I really fucking hate this cover. This man looks like he murdered his whole family and then buried them under the stage whilst performing this album.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 02 2025

Behind the obnoxious vocals is a clearly talented band, but the vocals man.... to me they just do not suit this kind of music and I find it borderline unbearably to listen too

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Sep 03 2025

So I was dreading this and thought it was going to be a real slog to get through...but its not half bad, its less country than I expected and I think she is very talented, but its just not for me. Glad I have listened to once, never will again

One World by John Martyn
Sep 04 2025

It's pretty bland, I don't hate it but honestly it's so just beige I'm going to immediately forget about it.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Sep 05 2025

I expected indie trash and was delighted to find so much more. Sure its pretty indie but its got some real lofi vibes at times and just has more spit and grit than I think I expected, this was a real surprise

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Sep 08 2025

It was interesting to listen to but again just one of those things I don't think I will ever listen too (or remember) again

Sep 09 2025

I mean it starts with take on me which is a timeless banger. It pretty much continues as strong from there, camp OTT 80s nonsense but it's fabulous

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Sep 10 2025

I had a good time listening to this and I will never listened to again, it's lovely and Jazzy and very world but it's just not anything I really choose to listen too

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Sep 11 2025

Really beautiful album, she has a wonderful voice, I did find myself getting a tad bored towards the end but I still think this is special

Sep 12 2025

I mean what can I say about this just staggering album that hasn't been said a million times before. I really does live up to the hype and I honestly believe this a timeless piece of art that will transcend generations to come

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Sep 15 2025

In spite it being entirely covers, I still have a good time listening to this

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Sep 16 2025

Quite possibly the worst county album on this list

Headquarters by The Monkees
Sep 17 2025

Fun and jovial but not their best work IMO

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 18 2025

I think this was good, but I wasn't really blown away by it, which I am slightly sad about. I want to give it another shot but first impressions are what I am scoring these albums on

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Sep 19 2025

It felt cool listening to this but I did find it dragged on a bit

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 23 2025

I like this because its a album of my teens, but objectively, its not very good, it's very front loaded and really tails off at the end

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 24 2025

I'm shocked how much I enjoyed this, it's blues heavy and just a really enjoyable listen

High Violet by The National
Sep 25 2025

Oooo this is great, it's indie lo-fi but great vocalist, this is a real sleeper hit

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Sep 29 2025

Completely and utterly meh, I don't know why its hers on this list as other bands have made a similar noise significantly better than this

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Sep 30 2025

Its pretty funky and I had a perfectly pleasant time listening, but I did find myself losing interest at times.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Oct 01 2025

That gangbang song is certainly something, but in spite of that I still quite enjoyed this, it's a bit silly and OTT but it's clear fun and the length helps alot (pun intended)

Arrival by ABBA
Oct 02 2025

Childhood trauma means I can't give this more than a 3

Oct 03 2025

I love it, it's really chilled electronica music that is honestly exactly what I needed to listen to today. Need to do something completely mindless this shit will help you concentrate 5 and a absolute gem of a find

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Oct 06 2025

I cannot believe how dull I ended up finding this, I high high expectations but I really struggled to get through it

Oct 08 2025

I had a wonderful time listening to this, I deffo prefer Gorrilaz but this was still a joy

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Oct 09 2025

I dont get it and I dont think I want too

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Oct 10 2025

Odd one this, it starts off really strong and I was impressed, but then it just drips on towards the end and I feel that really hurts it.

Faith by George Michael
Oct 13 2025

Its very front loaded and a bit dated but honestly I had a great time listening to this.

Oct 14 2025

After countless number of Tom Waits albums (and I am confident this is the last one I will have) I can categorically say...no

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Oct 15 2025

Reminded be of Coldplay, its bland as white bread and just kind of waffles on till it abruptly ends. Its there....but I no clue why I needed to hear this before I died

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Oct 16 2025

I really love this album, I think it might be better than back to black but it's so close

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Oct 17 2025

I enjoyed how over the top this was. Its a real product of its time, but it shreds so hard and tries to be metal as fuck so I deeply respect it for that.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Oct 20 2025

Ultimate hair rock and I love it so goddamn much.

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 21 2025

I mean cult of personality is as close to a perfect banger as you can get, the rest of the album is a lot of funny but just pales in comparison to the opening track

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Oct 23 2025

Ending this list on the funkiest album on this list was a decision I didn't expect... But here we are
