Popular Reviews

An absolutely marvellous album. Locomotive Breath is my favourite.

A bit poo.

Was okay to start with, but then really began to grate

Would have been nice background in a piano bar. Wasn't that great to have on whilst working.

Wouldn't normally like Bragg but this one was quite pleasant. Perhaps it was the involvement of Wilco which improved it.

All Ratings (1088)

Great tunes. Great voice

A great album. Wild Horses has always been a favourite of mine.

Some great songs on here, but it does outstay its welcome a little bit.

Not really my thing, but a couple of tracks I liked.

A pleasant listen.

A cracking album!!

Brilliant album. Nice bit of Janis screeching away!

Pretty awful. Not sure why it is in this list.

A nice surprise. Really funky

Much better than I had expected it to be!

A pleasant surprise. An excellent album

Not really for me. Rather bland.

A bit bland

Decent, but not really my thing

Nice, calming little album

Nice tunes. A great album.

Great to listen to. A real sound of the 60s.

It was okay. Didn't really grab me, but didn't grate either, so that's a bonus !

An absolutely marvellous album. Locomotive Breath is my favourite.

A bit boring. I liked a couple of songs.

Nice and funky

I found it quite boring. Not for me.

An absolute cracker

I love The King and this one is a cracker!

Not my favourite Waites album, but one I enjoyed nonetheless.

Chilled me right out

I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

Nope . Not for me

Repetitive

Not my fave Maiden album by a long shot, but still a cracker.

Better than I had expected.

A pleasant listen

A bit dull

Quite boring.

Brilliant.

Recognised some of this. A great listen and the one with Iggy Pop was highly amusing!

Pretty decent

An absolute masterpiece

I was really pleasantly surprised by this. It was not what I was expecting at all. Really funky. A cracker!

A lot better than I had expected

My favourite Dylan album

Hadn't heard this in years. A decent album, but went on a bit.

Surprisingly decent.

Not for me.

Not bad. I think this is because of Brian Eno's involvement.

A fantastic album. One of my favourites.

A good one to blow the cobwebs away.

Wouldn't normally like Bragg but this one was quite pleasant. Perhaps it was the involvement of Wilco which improved it.

I expected to hate this, but it was okay in the end. It did completely outstay its welcome though.

I love Waits and this one is a particular favourite.

Nice to dance along to.

Was okay to start with, but then really began to grate

A great album.

A bit meh.

Not really my thing.

Really enjoyed this!

Fantastic album.

I've had a lifelong dislike of Rod, so was dreading this. It was actually reasonably harmless and there has certainly been a lot worse included in this quest so far!

Pretty enjoyable.

Couldn't finish it

Quite dull.

Starts pretty well, but then I got bored of it.

It's Bowie, so of course it's brilliant.

I was expecting not to like this, but it was surprisingly pleasant.

Not really for me.

A great, if sometimes cheesy album.

Not my favourite as Zepp album, but great anyway.

Pretty decent.

Really enjoyed Hole.

Not for me, but all right.

Great band.

A lot better than I had expected. A welcome surprise.

Dull

Quite boring

Not a bad listen

A pretty chilled out album. A nice start to a Monday.

I didn't like this upon release, but it's really grown on me over the years

Rather bland, but I guess okay.

A mix of good and bad.

Good for what it is, but not my kind of music.

Better than the other Cure albums on this list. Why are there so many Cure albums on this list!!

Kinda sounds the same after a while, but does contain some classics!

A classic.

Some good songs

Awful

Decidedly average

Not my thing.

Delightful

A pretty decent album.

T is my favourite Ice, but Cube is always a treat too.

Some classics on here.

Enjoyed this one quite a bit.

A pleasant listen.

One of his many great albums.

Much better than I had expected.

Not for me.

Couldn't finish it.

A superb album. I do love Sade.

Not my cup of tea

Not my favourite PJ Harvey album, but still great.

Decent, but his voice always annoys me.

Not for me.

Rather pleasant.

An enjoyable album.

All right I suppose.

Not really a Jackson fan, but this is a classic of course.

Decent enough.

Great for the most part, but began to get a bit irritating.

Just okay.

Classic Dylan

Okay I guess.

Not for me, but better than the other Cure albums on this list so far.

A decent Stones album, but few of the familiar tunes. More of a deep cuts album.

All right to begin with, but then gets increasingly annoying

The Kinks are so boring.

I like Dylan, but this one goes on a bit.

A lot better (and upbeat) than I thought it would be.

I love Fiona Apple, and whilst this isn't my favourite album, it was amazing to have some new music from her after quite a period since the last one.

Not bad

Pleasant enough. The bloke sounds a bit like Dylan.

Okay

Brilliant.

Nothing special but pleasant enough.

Okay.

Homophobic and misogynistic.

Quite generic 60s guitar lark.

Awful

Pleasant enough

One of the greatest albums of all time.

Bjork is so much better when with The Sugarcubes. They seem to keep her in line, and she sings in the correct places along with the tune. I prefer the style of music too.

A really pleasant surprise. A great album.

Better than expected

An enjoyable listen

Brilliant album.

Alright to begin with, but I got bored of it.

Boring

Brilliant. It was new to me and I loved it.

An enjoyable album

Rather annoying free jazz.

Would have been nice background in a piano bar. Wasn't that great to have on whilst working.

Brilliant apart from the last song which goes on forever.

Good, but I really dislike Scarborough Fair. Always have.

A lot better than I was expecting.

Not my favourite Billie, but good nonetheless.

An amazing album.

Quite pleasant

A fantastic album, from a wonderful artist.

A decent album.

A wonderful album.

Pretty good.

Not bad

Not for me.

Not a huge fan, but I do like to listen to some Marley from time to time.

An absolute classic

Better than I had expected.

A fantastic album.

A lot better than I'd expected. Was every song off this a single? Felt like it!!

Enjoyed this more than I'd expected to

A great album.

Not for me really.

Not for me.

Brilliant

Not for me.

Quite dull.

Rather enjoyed this.

Surprisingly good!

Pretty decent.

Not as great as its reputation might suggest. Controversial??! There are some fine tracks though.

Quite dull.

Started well, then got annoying.

A bit poo.

A nice listen

A great album from Joplin.

A nice listen.

Not for me.

A pleasant listen

A bit dull to say the least.

Okay I guess.

Okay, I guess.

Alright I suppose.

Better than I'd expected.

Not half as good as OK Computer.

Boring.

A great album.

Not really the target audience for this one.

A bit annoying to be honest!

A great listen.

A bit samey

Pleasant enough.

A mixed bag

Starts well. Gets boring.

A lot better than I'd expected. A pleasant surprise.

Not really my thing.

A nice start to the week.

Not for me.

A fantastic album. One of my favourites.

Better than expected.

A superb album. One of my favourites.

Pleasant enough

So much better than I expected. An interesting album which combines a number of musical styles.

Not my favourite Beatles album, but still a great listen.

A nice surprise. I like this one!

Never liked these guys!

Pretty good. I reckon PJ Harvey is a fan!

Very pleasant.

Not my favourite album of his, but he is one of my favourite artists and this album contains my favourite song of all time 'Famous Blue Raincoat'

Surprisingly disappointing

Not as good as the one I had earlier in the week.

Much better than expected

Bit long, but great.

Pretty decent

Not bad, but overstayed its welcome.

A decent listen

Half decent.

Not for me.

A pleasant listen

I like Oasis much more than I thought I did.

A lovely album

Awful.

Not my favourite PJ album, but still great.

A brilliant album

A bit too freestyle for my liking.

Pleasant

Not for me.

Better than I was expecting.

Boring

My favourite PJ Harvey album

A bit boring

Not really an ABBA fan, but this was decent.

An absolute classic.

One of my favourite albums.

Pleasant enough

A pleasant surprise

Surprised how much I liked this. A great find!

Not really my thing but good for what it is.

Much better than I had imagined

Started well, but wasn't for me ultimately.

Not heard this in years. Still pretty great, although goes a bit downhill at the end.

Never liked The Clash!

Surprisingly harmless despite my dislike of Rod in general.

An absolutely phenomenal album.

A sublime album from my favourite artist of all time.

The first Ice-T album I purchased and still a classic.
