Popular Reviews

Arrival by ABBA

Always just ignored Abba. But this forced to me to listen to them properly, and it was very enjoyable. "Dancing Queen", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Money, Money, Money" and "Fernando" were the standout songs on the album.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple

Fantastic musicians playing classic rifts and great solos. Very good live album, crowd not annoying like in some live albums.

Really like the album as an intro to metal. Favourite songs are "Freak on a a Leash", "Children of the Korn" and "Seed"

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix

Great album. "Little Wing", "Castles Made of Sand" and "Bold As Love" my favourite songs on the album.

All Ratings (169)

Transformer by Lou Reed
Nov 09 2021

Nice, fairly chill, easy listening. Nothing standout though. Perfect Day and Wagon Wheel best songs on the album.

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 10 2021

Gentle and slow album mostly. Seems to get heavier towards the end of the album. Wouldn't pick myself, but no issue if someone else put it on. Enjoyed Old Man, and Alabama

Nov 11 2021

Rough and raw sounding, some nice instrumental parts but overall not for me. Though did like Gold Soundz

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Nov 12 2021

Very dream like. Something completely different for me. Can't understand the vocals but they seem to blend well so feels more like an instrumental album to me.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Nov 13 2021

Inoffensive pop, nothing special though by today's standards in my opinion.

Nov 14 2021

Never heard of these before. Really like the jazz, rock and blues vibe mix throughout the album. Which flows very well. Very fun listen and easy to bop along to. Like: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" And "Point 58" Dislike: Free form Guitar

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Nov 15 2021

Nice voice and songwriting. Obviously like House of the Rising Sun. Kind of music to fall asleep to

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 16 2021

Solid Album throughout, no standout songs though. Would happily listen to again. Like "Any Major Dude Will Tell You" and "Pretzel Logic" the most

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Nov 17 2021

Kind of boring, found myself drifting off and not really paying attention to the music.

Nov 18 2021

Fun, angsty punk. A bit samey throughout the album, but no bad songs. Like. "Newboys" and "Safety in Numbers" the most

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Nov 19 2021

A unique album to me. Worth a listen to for the lyrics, and I quite like the style of his voice. Some nice instrumental parts for example on "If I was with a woman".

The Band by The Band
Nov 20 2021

A mixed bag of an album. Simple rock with a bit of country. Liked "Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" and "Up on Cripple Creek". But "Whispering Pines" seemed out of place on the album in my opinion. Though still enjoyable overall

Nov 21 2021

Apart from "Bust" didn't like any other songs. Was a hard listen due to the length of the album(s)

Nov 22 2021

Really like the album as an intro to metal. Favourite songs are "Freak on a a Leash", "Children of the Korn" and "Seed"

Arrival by ABBA
Nov 23 2021

Always just ignored Abba. But this forced to me to listen to them properly, and it was very enjoyable. "Dancing Queen", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Money, Money, Money" and "Fernando" were the standout songs on the album.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Nov 24 2021

Heavy guitar riffs, great vocals with strong drums and bass lines, what's not to like. "Run to the Hills", "Gangland" and "Hallowed By Thy Name" are the best songs imo. Only negative is it can get a bit repetitive

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Nov 25 2021

Pretty fun punk-rock album. "No You're Product" and "I'm Misunderstood" heavier than the rest of the album, but also my favourite songs on the album. Found the first half of the album was a bit samey, 2nd half more enjoyable.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Nov 26 2021

Fantastic musicians playing classic rifts and great solos. Very good live album, crowd not annoying like in some live albums.

Nov 27 2021

Found this quite a boring listen. Though liked "Radio Cure".

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Nov 28 2021

Loud angry noise.

Smash by The Offspring
Nov 29 2021

A very nostalgic, typical Offspring sounding album. Very bouncy music, fun lyrics to sing along to. An enjoyable listen throughout, especially the singles.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 30 2021

Solid Album, but nothing special

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Dec 01 2021

Unique vocals, but wouldn't call it singing. Also I got a Christmas album vibe from the music. Not for me

Dec 02 2021

I'm not a rap fan. But this sounds better than most, but won't be adding it to my library. They make the movie sound clips work well. I liked "Can It All Be So Simple"

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Dec 03 2021

Great album, "Walk this Way" and "Sweet Emotion" were my favourite songs on the album.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Dec 04 2021

Brilliant album. Not a song I dislike on the album. "For all the Cows" is fantastic in my opinion.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 05 2021

Great album, flows really well, numerous great songs, "Today" probably my favourite. I would definitely add to my physical music collection.

Dec 06 2021

Pretty meh album. Nothing wrong with the album, but nothing that standouts either. It would be alright background music. "Step On" probably the best song in my opinion

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 07 2021

Most interesting thing about this album is the artwork

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 08 2021

Very good album with lots of standout individual songs. I did take a break half way through. Though, I feel like a 2 hour album should flow better to prevent zoning out or getting bored.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 09 2021

Think I'm completely the wrong audience for this album. Half of it just sounds like a metronome to me.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Dec 10 2021

Really like his raspy voice and song writing. It is quite a dark album but a very enjoyable listen. "Make You Feel My Love" is a beautiful song.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Dec 11 2021

Nice listen, don't think it's his best album though. "Wild is the Wind" my favourite on the album.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Dec 12 2021

A bit more musical than some other electronic albums I've heard, and not just annoying noise. Expect the intro and outro which are so annoying, don't understand why you would want to annoy the listener at the start and end of an album, which makes it a 1 star not 2 for me.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Dec 13 2021

Unpleasant noises for over an hour. Don't think there's anything about the album I like.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 14 2021

Alright album, nice flow for the latter half of the album. Liked "Sex Machine" the most.

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

Nice album, but nothing standout or special for me. "Like Dylan in the Movies" was my favourite song on the album

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 16 2021

Classic blues album, some great solos. "I'm Your Hoochie Coohie Man" my favourite song on the album.

Dec 29 2021

Wasn't a fan of the first 2 songs on the album. But then thought "Firth of Fifth" and "More Fool Me" were brilliant, then after that a mixed bag, but still enjoyable overall.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Dec 30 2021

Don't really know what to say except meh. Some nice bits but not all that interesting to me.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Dec 31 2021

Sounds like a mix between Tool and Muse, to me there was some nice things attempted just doesn't hit the mark for me.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jan 01 2022

Fun, foot tapping folk album. "Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key" my favourite song on the album, also liked "One By One"

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 02 2022

Solid album. She has an incredible voice and works with very talented musicians. Really like the jazz and soul vibe.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Jan 03 2022

Don't really know much jazz. But this was overall a nice listen, more background music for me than active listening. Liked "Mandela" and "The Wedding" the most.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 04 2022

Alright album nothing special or standout to me. I found the intro to "By the Time I get to Phoenix" somewhat boring. Which is a shame for a track which takes up nearly a third of the album length.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jan 05 2022

Nice metal album overall. Some really good songs like "Psychosocial" and "Snuff". Though also some boring ones which can drag a bit.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 06 2022

Heavy riffs and a lot of them, and Lemmy's voice. "Ace of Spades" and "Jailbait" the two best songs in my opinion. The album can get repetitive but short enough to not get boring in my opinion.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 08 2022

Really liked this album, the flute surprised me. But it works well in my opinion.

Queen II by Queen
Jan 09 2022

Nothing standout in my opinion or any reason to be excited by this album, just alright.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jan 10 2022

A quick, fun, pop, punky album. Liked "I'm Not Angry" and "Alison" the most. No song that I disliked either.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 11 2022

Great album. "Little Wing", "Castles Made of Sand" and "Bold As Love" my favourite songs on the album.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jan 13 2022

Very relaxing and enjoyable, though don't think any particular song is that memorable.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 14 2022

Nice melodies and jazz like solos. But I couldn't really get into the album. "Black Magic Women / Gypsy Queen" my favourite song on the album.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 15 2022

A talented singer songwriter, but I just can't get into it and find it rather boring.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jan 16 2022

I guess this album could be described as peaceful, especially "Mysterious Semblance at the Strand of Nightmares". But think this album would be significantly more interesting if you were high, I'm unlikely to listen to it again.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 18 2022

Seems like a simple fun album, but not really for me. "It's Like That" and "30 Days" my favourite songs on the album.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jan 19 2022

Calm and relaxing album. Would be nice background music, "The Ocean" my favourite song. All the songs are very similar, nothing extremely standout either good nor bad.

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 20 2022

Get a Coldplay/Snow Patrol vibe from this. Just not as good as them in my opinion. Favourite song is the hidden track after "Slide Show".

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 21 2022

Some cool things done throughout the album, quite unique to me at least. "Purple Rain" the best song for me.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 22 2022

"Papa was a Rollin' Stone" was alright, other than that not that interesting.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jan 23 2022

Not for me, but can understand why people would like it though.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jan 24 2022

Absolutely fantastic, most of the songs are the album are brilliant. Would happily listen if any of the songs on the track came on in a playlist, radio etc.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 25 2022

Really catchy pop music. Surprisingly fun to listen to, half the songs are definitely single worthy.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jan 26 2022

Lovely voice and nice simple backing tracks to that. Like "Miss Chatelaine" the most. Not knowing anything about her or the album "Constant Craving" seemed like a change of tone, but a nice ending to the album.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jan 27 2022

This is not for me, every song sounded the same more or less.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jan 28 2022

Quite a nice album, no brilliant songs, but nothing harsh or unpleasant either. Happy to have on as background music.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jan 29 2022

After the first Tom Waits album I got, I thought I wouldn't enjoy this one either. But surprisingly I really enjoyed this obe. His style really works for this album and the songs. "Cemetery Polka" my favourite song

More Specials by The Specials
Jan 30 2022

Not that interesting, probably wouldn't listen again.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jan 31 2022

Alright album, would say apart from "Bad Company" it's a fairly average. I also personally think there are covers better than the original of "Bad Company".

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 01 2022

An interesting album with an unique sound. "Clint Eastwood" is phenomenal, but the rest of the album, although good doesn't live up to the standard set by that song.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Feb 02 2022

Quiet a nice album, a fairly relaxing listen. "Paisagem da Jenela" and "Saídas e Bandeiras nº 2" the two best songs on the album in my opinion.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 03 2022

Something new and a very different style of music for me. I feel the album starts off really strong especially the first 4/5 songs, but towards the end I feel the quality decreases and I started to lose interest. "Fisherman's Blues" and "Sweet Thing" my favourite songs on the album

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Feb 05 2022

As a newer QOTSA fan, this is enjoyable and has the sound I was expecting and a lot of nice guitar riffs. However, for me this is not as good as their newer albums such as "Villains" and "Like Clockwork"

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 07 2022

Didn't listen to the full 4+ hour version, just the best of version. Her voice is beautiful, this is a very warming/comforting album.

Pump by Aerosmith
Feb 08 2022

Alright, doesn't live up to "Toys in the Attic" in my opinion though. However, still a fun energetic, hard rock album but to me nothing truly special on this one.

Black Metal by Venom
Feb 09 2022

Just not as good as the other metal I have listened to. Not a painful listen but just not that fun either.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Feb 10 2022

Really relaxing listen. Great to do some work to or just to listen and wind down. "Messy Bessie" my favourite song on the album.

Feb 11 2022

A weird combination of genres, seems like it goes between pop, folk and prog rock numerous times throughout the album. Yet none of the switches in sound are jarring. I get a ELO and Jethro Tull vibe mostly. "Freedom Rider" and "John Barleycorn (Must Die)" my favourite songs on the album.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Feb 14 2022

The album starts of really strong with "Willow" and finishes strong with "Evermore". However the middle gets a bit samey for me. I like the new kind of style for this compared to Taylor's previous work, but I wish she went even further with it.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Feb 15 2022

Seemed a bit confused to me, somewhere between rock, indie and punk. Starts off well with "Teen Age Riot" but goes down hill from there in my opinion and I started to lose interest.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Feb 16 2022

Solid album, really enjoyed the singer songwriter aspect of the album. However the musical aspect seemed a bit of an odd choice to me and prevents the album being a 5 star for me at least. "First We Take Manhattan" probably my favourite song, but all songs were enjoyable.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Feb 17 2022

Didn't really enjoy this album. The second half of the album was definitely better than the first though, felt the first few songs were too loud that I couldn't even hear the singer at all. "Eau d'bedroom Dancing" my favourite track.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Feb 18 2022

Really liked this. Sounds like a b-side to "Favourite Worse Nightmare" to me. "Separate and Ever Deadly" my favourite track.

Feb 21 2022

Simple and chill, don't know what else to say about it. But a great album to just have on while working on something else. "Can You Kick It" and "Youthful Expression" my favourite tracks.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Feb 22 2022

A weird and mixed bag of tracks in my opinion. I liked "Baby" and "Sister Midnight". But found "Nightclubbing" and "Mass Production" so annoying that I wouldn't want to listen to the album in full again.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 23 2022

Nothing special but nothing bad about it either for me at least. "Piece of My Heart" the most enjoyable track.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 25 2022

Alright, not a bad listen but also not something I'd probably revisit. Though I did somewhat like his voice, felt quite powerful.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Feb 28 2022

Had only ever listened to the 'hits' before, so this is my first time listening to the entire album. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I already knew I liked the hits and the Guns N' Roses sound. i also thought the rest of the tracks were a fun listen, especially "Mr. Brownstone" and "My Michelle". However, "Rocket Girl" was slightly odd.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Mar 01 2022

Something very different for me. I liked some of the pipe/wind stuff. But overall I just couldn't get into this

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 02 2022

Surprisingly I somewhat enjoyed this, but still the majority of rap/hip-hop is not for me. "The World is Yours" and " Halftime" were my favourite tracks.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Mar 03 2022

Quite liked this. Seemed simple but that made it easy to listen to, and for him to get his message across. "The Winter of the Long Hot Summer" and "Hypocrisy is the Greatest Luxury" my favourite tracks.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 04 2022

Alright album, nothing truly standout to me but worth a re-listen though.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Mar 07 2022

Enjoyable, not as good as some of the other jazz albums I've had on here. But still a pleasant listen throughout.

Mar 08 2022

I don't like the live aspect of the album. I think it distracts from the music, and doesn't recreate the live atmosphere in my lounge.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 09 2022

It feels wrong saying it, bit ABBA are a really enjoyable listen. Wouldn't add anything off this to their greatest hits, but did quite like "I Let the Music Speak" and "Slipping Through my Fingers".

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Mar 10 2022

Something new and a unique style to me. Feels like an intense movie score throughout most of the album. "M.E." and "Oceans" my favourite tracks. Though the album does feel quite repetitive after a while.

Mar 11 2022

Not the worse electronic music I've had on here, but not an enjoyable listen either. "Destroy Rock & Rock" was the most memorable track and not in a good way.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Mar 29 2022

Typical early 2000's indie, which I am a fan of. Though here it sounds like they try to be a bit more unique, like on "Michael", and some songs work better than other. Though "Take Me Out" still my favourite track.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Mar 30 2022

Didn't find this interesting at all, I don't think it has any redeeming qualities either.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Apr 04 2022

Alright, nothing special for me though. I kind of get a Beatles vibe at times.

Phrenology by The Roots
Apr 27 2022

Some nice tracks, nothing too harsh to listen to. But not something I'll be adding to regular listening.

Apr 28 2022

A total mix of genres, but they pull it off. However, were some misses. Overall I enjoyed the album, though did feel like I was just waiting for Bohemian Rhapsody

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Apr 29 2022

Quite nice, but nothing super special in my opinion. "Band on the Run" was my favourite track on the album.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 02 2022

Throughout enjoyable album. Really like their voice and style, very calming, though a couple of songs were the tempo increases and the music gets heavier but works really well. "Son of Sam" and "Happiness/ The Gondola Man" my favourite tracks.

May 03 2022

Really liked this, the transitions especially some of them in "Close to The Edge..." were very unexpected but brilliant, I really enjoyed this.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
May 04 2022

She has a really strong voice. Think I'd much prefer a studio recording to this live album. As I'm not sure what the live aspect adds to this. However her voice alone makes it an enjoyable listen, "Be Anything but Darling be Mine" my favourite track.

GI by Germs
May 05 2022

I feel like I usually like punk. But didn't like this at all, and found it all rather forgettable.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
May 06 2022

Really like his slow punchy style of rap, especially over the jazz like backing tracks. Every track after and including "Move" is really good.

No Other by Gene Clark
May 09 2022

Really liked this. A good mix of rock, folk and country. To me there even had a bit of a prog rock sound to it occasionally. "No Other" my favourite track.

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 10 2022

Fun album overall. Though some forgettable tracks, but some fantastic ones as well such as "Bad", "Man in the Mirror" and "Smooth Criminal".

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 11 2022

No idea how to review jazz. But this very a very nice listen throughout. Very easy listening.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 12 2022

Totally understand why people dislike The Smith's, but I throughouly enjoyed it, "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" and "Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others" are my favourite tracks and a great choice to end the album on.

The Stooges by The Stooges
May 13 2022

Alright proto-punk album. "1969" and "I Wanna Be Your Dog" were great but the rest of the album fell short for me. Though can definitely see how this has influenced more modern punk albums.

May 16 2022

Feels like the soundtrack to a Disney film, gentle, warming, but a powerful voice and I love it. "Just a Little Lovin'" my favourite track on the album.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 17 2022

Very fun and lively. Definitely something to tap your foot to. However, probably not something I'd add to my regular listening, but something to put on when I fee like listening to something very upbeat.

Leftism by Leftfield
May 18 2022

Could have been worse.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
May 19 2022

Alright, though some bits get a bit too repetitive and metronomy for me.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
May 20 2022

Seems like a random collection of song to me. So many of the tracks were just odd and I couldn't get into it. However did like "Stranded in Time"

Low-Life by New Order
May 23 2022

Thought this was brilliant. High energy and intense. "Elegia" was absolutely standout for me, will be listening to it fairly regularly from now on.

May 25 2022

Already listen to this fairly regularly, so knew it would be 5 stars before I played it. Love the lyrics and guitar riffs. "I Started Something I Couldn't Finish" my favourite track.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
May 26 2022

I actually like the interludes more than the songs. I couldn't get into this and overall found it pretty repetitive and boring.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
May 27 2022

A very nice album, and she has a lovely voice but not truly standout for me. Unlike some of the others in this genre have been for me.

May 30 2022

Good album. Particularly enjoyed 'Killer Queen' and 'Now I'm Here', however some of the songs do just feel like filler and just feel like a let down after the hits.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 31 2022

Solid rock, enjoyed listening to it. "Bad Moon Rising" and "The Night Time is the Right Time"y favourite tracks.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 07 2022

Think this is absolutely fantastic. Everything except "Have a Cigar" is brilliant and even that is very enjoyable.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 08 2022

This was a thoroughly enjoyable listen. "So What" really transports you somewhere else while listening.

Jun 09 2022

Really didn't like this. Came across as spoken word poetry with jazz in the back ground and it all felt like a bit of a mess. The intros and the live audience didn't add anything for me. Apart from "Nobody" no track really stood out, or was enjoyable.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 10 2022

Lots of catchy and fun songs. I really enjoyed the first half of the record, up to and including "Perfection". The cover of "Walk this Way" was brilliant. However I found the second half of the record got boring and repetitive. I especially disliked "Hit It Run".

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 13 2022

A nice listen, but not truely standout to me. "Seventeen Seconds" was my favourite track, but found the rest kind of melded together for me.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jun 14 2022

He has a really nice sound, but everything did sound very samey to me. No particular track stood out, and nothing really made me want to re-listen.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jun 15 2022

Didn't really enjoy this. It was listenable but not enjoyable. Snoop Dogg definitely carried the album in my opinion.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jun 16 2022

Not for me. Does have a bit of a relaxing feel, especially compared to other electronic albums, but I still couldn't get into it really.

Jun 17 2022

Love this album. The synth/electronic/rock works really well in my opinion. Also really enjoy the heavy basslines throughout the album. "Starlight" and "Knights of Cydonia" were my favourite tracks.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 20 2022

I have no complaints against this album. She's clearly talented just not something I'll be listening to again really.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel

Sounds like a visit to my Grandparents. Found the first half of the album fairly uninteresting. Then suddenly the energy seems to increase and grabbed my attention for the second half of the album. "Fakin' It" and "Mrs. Robinson"y favourite tracks.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse

Fantastic guitar playing, really liked it on "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand". However, didn't really enjoy the singing/songwriting as much.

Total surprise but loved this.

Surprisingly a fun electronic/dance album. Lots of energy, but felt a bit darker than other electronic albums I've listened to. However, can still get very repetitive throughout. I personally feel like this would be a lot more enjoyable on a night out with a large group, rather than listening alone like I did. "Their Law" and "Poison" my favourite tracks.

Okay, very similar to a lot of early 2000s indie rock

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jul 04 2022

Even though he's a twat, it is a Nlnice album and all the tracks are pretty enjoyable. Plus obviously some very talented guitar playing. "Please be with Me" and "Let it Go" my favourite tracks.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jul 06 2022

A very laid back album, but with a early 2000s indie feel to me. "Red Eyes" and "Suffering" my favourite tracks and would happily listen to the entire album again.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 04 2023

Liked this, very similar throughout but I think it’s that’s a good thing. Favourite songs ‘Rooster’, ‘Dirt’ and ‘Hate to Feel’

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

Just meh

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Dec 06 2023

Surprisingly fun album, I really liked the humour and satire throughout.

Different Class by Pulp
Dec 11 2023

Alright, the lyrics were a bit creepy at times

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 12 2023

Liked this, wish it went harder for my preference though, would rate 3.5 if I could. “Spellbound” and “Night Shift” my favourite tracks.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 13 2023

Fairly enjoyable, nothing truly standout to me, but I know nothing about country

Suede by Suede
Dec 15 2023

Nothing I can point out as bad, just felt boring

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Dec 18 2023

Love it

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 19 2023

Okay, feel this is more on here just because it is Bowie rather than being something special.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Dec 20 2023

Not for me at all

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Dec 21 2023

A surprisingly fun album, just sounds like someone having a good time to me.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 22 2023

Liked this, especially ’Movies of Myself’, he has a really good voice

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 25 2023

Starts off really strong, but goes downhill and gets weird quickly

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Dec 27 2023

Some hits, some very mediocre songs.
