Popular Reviews

Van Halen by Van Halen

Amazing musicians but lacking in memorable lines and choruses. Great guitar playing but too many riffs are the same and at 100 mph and played for the sake of it

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye

There is a reason, a very good reason, why most people only know one song on this album.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott

I didn't last long before I had to skip this album.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 16 2022

Decent album, has a good voice too much the same for too long, a lot of it feels like the same song again.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 17 2022

Amazing musicians but lacking in memorable lines and choruses. Great guitar playing but too many riffs are the same and at 100 mph and played for the sake of it

Feb 18 2022

No sitting on the fence lyrically with purpose and reflection in them. A few stand out tracks, a bit long with a few tracks very similar.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 21 2022

some good melodic tunes, too long and too many songs sound the same.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 22 2022

Didn't dislike it but quite tedious and not for me

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Feb 23 2022

There is a reason, a very good reason, why most people only know one song on this album.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 24 2022

Starts and ends in amazing songs, the 7 songs in between are mostly filler in comparison. Given its reputation it's a bit disappointing. When The Rolling Stones try to be The Rolling Stones they're incredible, not so much when they try to be from 1940's Mississippi.

B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 25 2022

I did not enjoy this. One or 2 decent riffs to be fair but I can't go the lead singers voice.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 28 2022

Not a great singer, backing singers overused, just annoying after not too long. Enjoyed Let The Bells ring (no backing singers - thank fuck). It's ok, doubt I'd listen to it again. Oh and it's a long listen. Brevity Nick, brevity.

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 01 2022

Planet telex, the bends, high and dry, fake plastic trees, just, my iron lung and street spirit all quality tunes, the rest better than mere filler. I only knew high and dry, my iron lung and street spirit before hand and I'm more into this than I expected to be for someone who more enjoys a few radiohead tunes rather than being a big fan of them.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 02 2022

Weird electro shit. I wasn't amused when I saw it opened with 4 songs over half an hour and I couldn't see how I'd make it through, but somehow I did. This gets 2 stars from me. Monotoned to say the least.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Mar 03 2022

It starts off quite solid then fades away. Fades for a long time. 17 songs man, that turned into a slog.

1977 by Ash
Mar 04 2022

Girl from Mars is great, the rest forgettable. If back ground music is your thing then dive on in. Not something I'd listen to again.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 07 2022

Loads of great songs but pretty long, I did go back and forth whether or not this should be 3 or 4 stars as it's not as good as as Siamese Dream which I'd give 4 stars to but in the end I decided it's better than a few of the albums I've rated 3 stars.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Mar 08 2022

Pretty Dull

Homework by Daft Punk
Mar 09 2022

Too long and not really my thing

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 10 2022

good rock n roll fun

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Mar 11 2022

honestly? I only made it to the opening of the second song

Eagles by Eagles
Mar 14 2022
Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 15 2022

A few great tracks on this but a number of songs too slow and the same. Was still a fun listen, I had never head the full album before and glad I gave it a go

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Mar 16 2022

Sounds like a second rate REO Speedwagon tribute band trying to be the beach boys

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Mar 24 2022

A nice easy listen, a few really cool tracks but a lot of it not something I'd listen to again

Raw Power by The Stooges
Mar 25 2022

Some awesome riffs and great vocals. Was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I saw Iggy play at a festival in Spain in 2006 and I had partaken in a lively pint drinking atmosphere that day so sadly can't remember too much other than it was pretty cool so I'm not sure why I've taken so long to go and have a listen. Solid 4 stars.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Mar 30 2022

I like a bit of sitar but to be honest i didn't make it to the end of the album

Low-Life by New Order
Apr 01 2022

Loved this, top notch

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Apr 04 2022

Some awesome guitar riffery, walk this way the star of the show. No filler, was close to a 4 star.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Apr 05 2022

Cool rock sounds to it although it does get a little all over the place at times and a bit incoherent. I'm not a fan of either vocalist tbh. T'was a decent listen but not sure about going back to the album soon. Cool art work on the cover.

Cut by The Slits
Apr 06 2022

This is utter rank, not sure what they were going for with this album. I'm actually quite relieved it's all over

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Apr 26 2022

George has a decent voice but the tone is too dismal for too long

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
May 02 2022

I didn't last long before I had to skip this album.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
May 04 2022

Its actually not bad, first song is the best, the album is a little all over the place and my first impressions were that the vocals were going to annoy me. I mean they did, but not enough to stop me listening.

May 11 2022

This wasn't as great as I remembered, it was much longer too. Poison and No Good are absolutely epic though.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 13 2022

My style of music

The La's by The La's
May 16 2022

This is a good album, I only really knew there she goes before listening to it a few months back for the first time. Was happy to listen to the album again
