Popular Reviews

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Not usually into jazz but honestly it doesn't matter when you hear Amy's voice.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

I haven't finished listening to this yet (and I will, I am no quitter) but I already know my rating will be 1/5 because the whole of the 45 mins I've listened to so far has sounded exactly the same to me.

Odessa by Bee Gees

Very weird coincidence to get this album on the day Russia invades Ukraine. Anyway, utter crap.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix

He was obviously extraordinarily talented, but god this album felt like it would never end.

Jan 12 2022

Not really my thing. Makes me quite uncomfortable listening to it. I guess that might have been the point, but really not for me.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jan 13 2022

Nothing stuck out too much to me. Felt very country.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jan 14 2022

Not usually into jazz but honestly it doesn't matter when you hear Amy's voice.

Bit weird, wouldn't have listened to it otherwise.

Fine!

Kenya by Machito

Very jazzy, felt like I was in a Bond film.

World Clique by Deee-Lite

Good album! Felt like a classic.

It is a modern classic!

Jan 30 2022

Jazzy, enjoyed a few songs a lot. Good music to listen to while a rail replacement.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 31 2022

Great album, full of bangers. Not Green Day's best though, I think!

Soul Mining by The The
Feb 01 2022

Good 80s vibe, long songs put me off a little! Exactly the sort of album I was hoping to find with this project.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 05 2022

He was obviously extraordinarily talented, but god this album felt like it would never end.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Feb 06 2022

I am just not that into rap, the songs all sounded very similar to me.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 08 2022

I had fun listening to this, nothing too sticking though.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Feb 17 2022

Actually quite enjoyed this, but there's only so long you can listen to bongos for.

Feb 18 2022

Should be called 'Music for falling asleep'. Pros: Good to fall asleep to. Cons: fell asleep.

Feb 20 2022

Pretty fun. Not sure if I'll listen again.

Feb 24 2022

Feb 25 2022

Very weird coincidence to get this album on the day Russia invades Ukraine. Anyway, utter crap.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Feb 26 2022

First song - banger though even that goes on a bit at times. Rest, good but honestly goes on a bit too long.

Feb 27 2022

There was a lot going on here.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Mar 13 2022

Alright. Probably would have enjoyed it more if some of the songs were a bit shorter.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 14 2022

Quite interesting to begin with then blurred into background noise. Okay!

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 15 2022

Quite gentle and relaxing, Son of a Preacher Man is a classic!

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Mar 16 2022

Listened to it while doing stuff and didn't really notice it in the background. Thought it would be punkier.

Vespertine by Björk
Mar 17 2022

Weird. Why does Bjork feature on this list so much. I almost fell asleep.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 18 2022

A classic! I think there are better Foos albums that aren't on this list, but what a banger.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 19 2022

blurs into all the other weird 60s albums on this list.

En-Tact by The Shamen

A classic! Sang along while cooking dinner.

Adele at her best!

Bit spacy, didn't make a huge impression, but thought quite nice.

Mar 31 2022

Slightly weird in places

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 08 2022

Pretty fun! Didn't realise they had done some of those songs.

Roots by Sepultura
Apr 11 2022

Didn't get very far in. I really struggle with this genre, can't really differentiate one band from another.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 12 2022

Fairly chill but it is no Rumours.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Apr 13 2022

Jazzy. Took ages to listen to.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Apr 16 2022

Interesting, not an unpleasant listening experience.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Apr 17 2022

Thought I would hate this more than I did. Not sure I could have listened to more than 15 minutes though.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Apr 22 2022

Alright, seemed like classic 90s rock but with a particularly off singer.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Apr 23 2022

I do love this album, but not her best one.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Apr 25 2022

An experience. Don't know if it was a good one or not.

Phrenology by The Roots
Apr 27 2022

I should have changed my settings to avoid rap as a genre! I do not get it! Why have I had four rap albums in the last week! Why are they all over an hour long! ^I wrote this at the start. It got better. ^^Changed my mind again. Too long. Got fed up.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Apr 29 2022

A classic but nothing stood out to me too much (perhaps wasn't listening closely enough)

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Apr 30 2022

Was expecting this to be better.

Pretty boring.

Bit weird, not uninteresting.

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 07 2022

I mean, it's a classic for a reason. Not chock full of bangers though.

May 08 2022

Definitely a worse singer than I thought he was, but Tainted Love is always a banger.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
May 09 2022

Bit weird. Better than the other one on the list.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
May 11 2022

Fun listen! Would have been higher if the songs weren't so long

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
May 14 2022

Great album! And Spotify led me on an incredible genre path after this. Had a good day.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
May 15 2022

Some bops! But not full of them.

Crazysexycool by TLC
May 16 2022

Enjoyed this and immediately listened to their next album too :)

May 17 2022

Okay, I didn't like it as much as I like Teardrops.

Pretty fun!

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
May 20 2022

Pretty good, pleasant listening experience

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
May 21 2022

I mean, Janis Joplin is an icon for a reason. Little bit too on the psychedelic side for me, though.

Being There by Wilco
May 22 2022

Alright, quite easy listening but Disc 2 was a bit much.

Achtung Baby by U2
May 24 2022

Pretty good, I think not U2's best though.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
May 25 2022

mmmmm bit shouty but started promising

She's obviously very talented, not 100% my thing though

May 27 2022

Went on for a while...

Bit more listenable than some of the jazz

Jun 03 2022

Pretty fun!

Technique by New Order
Jun 04 2022

Not as good as some of their other ones, but quite boppy.

Different Class by Pulp
Jun 05 2022

Couple of absolute classics but the rest was kinda meh

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jun 06 2022

Now I know what that Simpsons joke is about.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 07 2022

Couple of true classics on this one.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jun 08 2022

Fine as an album. Didn't pay much attention to it.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 09 2022

The run of 60s/70s albums I've had is unfortunately blurring them all into one, this one being no exception.

Timeless by Goldie
Jun 10 2022

So very long

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jun 12 2022

Bit trippy. Don't think enjoyable.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 16 2022

Got more into this as it went on!

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 20 2022

Alright, the 13 minute song was a bit much.

Kenza by Khaled
Jun 22 2022

Kind of odd, I guess not the sort of music I listen to usually. Some bits were nice.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jun 24 2022

Extremely jazzy. Shame the whole album wasn't on Spotify.

Some bits were okay. Don't remember any of it now. :D

Better than expected!

Couple of bangers but couldn't get into the rest.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jun 28 2022

I think I enjoyed the other Cure album that we've already had a bit more.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jun 29 2022

Bit weird. Wasn't surprised to see that they've collaborated with Bjork.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jun 30 2022

I could get into some of it, but other parts were a bit too shouty for me

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jul 01 2022

Quite odd. Was not really expecting.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jul 03 2022

I thought this would be better. Some good beats and riffs but couldn't get past the singing. Think their other album was better.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 04 2022

I haven't finished listening to this yet (and I will, I am no quitter) but I already know my rating will be 1/5 because the whole of the 45 mins I've listened to so far has sounded exactly the same to me.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 06 2022

This was fun! And great name.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine

Noodly doodly doo

Good album! Fun tunes.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jul 11 2022

Think I preferred the other Talking Heads album on this list.

Jul 14 2022

Shame only half the album is on Spotify, because I definitely enjoyed what was there!

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 15 2022

Pretty good! Think I will listen to some more of them.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 16 2022

Great stuff! Short and sweet.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jul 18 2022

Obviously not to my taste, but almost aggressively bad.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 19 2022

Pretty good! She has a great voice

Jul 20 2022

Undecided. Think a little strange but maybe will reconsider after listening to Dark Side of the Moon (assuming that's on this list)

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jul 25 2022

I was ready to rate this low, but just got better as the album went on!

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 26 2022

Not really my thing

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jul 28 2022

Better than I thought it would be from the first two songs. Still not great.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Aug 01 2022

Absolute banger of an album.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Aug 02 2022

Immigrant Song one of my favourites ever. Rest was a little less exciting.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Aug 04 2022

Took a while to listen properly but it grew on me a little. Not enough.

Aug 05 2022

Bit repetitive, particularly the 13 minute long song, but parts alright.

Aug 07 2022

Sure is a band.

Aug 08 2022

Felt extremely 60s

Aug 10 2022

Pretty great!

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Aug 11 2022

I don't really vibe with Joni.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Aug 12 2022

I could get into it. Listened to their first album after this and thought that was much better.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Aug 15 2022

not sure if this album was supposed to have 25 songs. Bit too much.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Aug 16 2022

very noodly doodly

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 17 2022

Pretty classic rock!

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Aug 18 2022

Felt a bit disjointed to me. Not sure if that was the point. If so, I didn't get it.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Aug 23 2022

mmmmmmmm bit loud I feel old

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 24 2022

First Beatles album of the generator! Actually found it pretty good.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Aug 25 2022

Started pretty good and then went weird and long and repetitive.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Aug 26 2022

Found this more repetitive than some others in the genre.
