Popular Reviews

With The Beatles by Beatles

Le haiku: Not the Beatles best, Yet the tunes are heckin good, I enjoyed it so.

Back In Black by AC/DC

Back in black banger, Rest of it is not too bad, Wow it sold a lot. 6/10

Scum by Napalm Death

Nah thanks 2/10

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen

This is an absolute masterpiece. Leonard Cohen’s lyrics are mystical and transport you to another place. His guitar is haunting- to anyone who says he can’t play guitar- maybe he can’t do a jimmy page solo but he achieves a different kind of aura with his circular style. I still remember going ‘oh I heard of this guy’ and putting the CD on and quickly realising this was something special. A genius’ first work and one of my favourites. 10/10

Massive fan of his earlier stuff, still love this album and reckon it will grow on me further in due time. Couple of songs that show he never lost his writing ability even right up to the end <3

No Other by Gene Clark

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Apr 14 2022

This feels like one that’s wrong to listen to on steaming, this was meant for vinyl. Had some good songs, liked H2O gate blues the most. 6.5/10

Beautiful Freak by Eels

Had some good songs (Hard to Handle, She Talks to Angels) but most of the album felt kinda repetitive and not that nice on the ear. 4.5/10

Yeezus by Kanye West
Apr 28 2022

I thought I'd like this more, but other than blackskinhead which was cool and the bound 2 hook which was fun I really couldn't get around it and was waiting for the album to end. 3/10
