Popular Reviews

With The Beatles by Beatles

Nice to hear some original Beatles - mixed with some covers 👍🏻

New Forms by Roni Size

Forgot how much I loved the songs on this album - reminder of the 90’s and whilst at Uni

This was a tough album to endure - I listened to the first 3 ‘songs’ and stopped listening to the album generator for 2 months! I gave it another go today and realised it’s not for me - too many issues to start I haven’t got the energy……..

May 26 2022

Great starter album - always thought this was Ian drury!

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 27 2022

Nice throw back to the big hair era - some real well known tunes on there and some lesser favourites

Like A Prayer by Madonna
May 28 2022

Promise to try - quite a poignant and somber song amongst the woodland of the other up beat pop songs Revelation never heard love song with Prince Some good well known singles and lesser if you’re not a fan

Ramones by Ramones
May 29 2022

Chain saw was a bit jarring 🙃 Good to hear the rest of the album…

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
May 30 2022

Gentle bimble through the bluegrass never heard this before

Moon Safari by Air
May 31 2022

So many songs I love in this album and inadvertently listening to them for years on chill out albums before I knew who they were !

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jun 01 2022

Familiar voices sonic delight

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jun 02 2022

Love this album and happy that i had further recommendations of 60’s music that had that feel good factor 👍🏻

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 03 2022

Good to listen back to the whole album again as was a staple of the key songs when our originally. Good to hear some contemporary influences from such songs as territorial pissings on such bands as Idles. Forgot how that and lounge acts were on point songs without the air play 🤘🏻

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 04 2022

Typical sound of the 90’s Ok background music enjoyed shadowboxer

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 05 2022

Bought this on tape when it first came out - forgot how long the album is. On reflection some nice random slow tunes thrown in there sandwiched in between the well known ones

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 06 2022

Great to hear the whole album Some tunes sound very Bob dylan esc.

Jun 10 2022

Forgot how much I loved his voice will defo listen to some more - and great to recognise from the music of dirty dancing - never knew that was him !

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jun 11 2022

Fabulous on a sunny afternoon - that 9 minute song in the middle was a surprise and slightly creepy with the kid on !

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jun 13 2022

Didn’t really listen to these guys first time round, but loving the album. I like linkin park and some of the vibes are similar - particularly liked ‘surfacing’ a great one when working 😂 me inside and eyeless are another couple I liked

Queen II by Queen
Jun 14 2022

Lovely to hear some song so hadn’t heard before and some songs back to basics - not the crowd pleasers. Good to hear other voices on the recordings

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jun 15 2022

One of my favourite albums of all time - and always a pleasure to hear it especially on a chilled Sunday or sunny morning 🔆

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Jun 16 2022

Clunky assault on my brain Murmurs of Tom waits influenced tunes, of key trumpets and scratchy electronics Don’t listen with a headache or operating heavy machinery

Jun 17 2022

Gave it a go but couldn’t finish the album - some homage to Kate bush but overall found it winey. Not sure which genre - a bit show jazz, easy listening, I’m not sure - some dodgy lyrics had to give up sorry 😞

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 18 2022

Beautiful antidote for the last offering! Lovely bimble in the sunshine 🌞

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 19 2022

Nice to hear some original Beatles - mixed with some covers 👍🏻

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Jun 20 2022

Nice to hear some raw rock morrisey

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 21 2022

Listened to the remastered 2009 version - some things seemed a little over produced so some sound took over the vocals

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 22 2022

Lots of repetition (band on the run) - some good tunes

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 25 2022

Haven’t listened to this in years - great revisit

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 26 2022

So many I knew didn’t realise were on this album

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jun 28 2022

Classics and some lesser known surprises

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jun 29 2022

Intrigued as I saw some of Little Simz at Glastonbury - not my usual go to of music but enjoyed selfish and venom - good to see

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jul 06 2022

Some classics in there and a hand hold through the journey to being a single artist

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jul 07 2022

Loved it

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 09 2022

Love credence and even better to listen to sitting by a pool 🔆

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jul 11 2022

I listened to the live record version Some vocalisations were a bit piercing-something to listen to in the background at Christmas

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jul 12 2022

Love this - didn’t realise how much I did until re listening to it - warm fuzzy lovin it

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 28 2022

Such a classic - remembering when I was younger me and my family would dance to ‘we are family’ how things change

Jul 29 2022

Loved this - country but not winey- something my grandparents would have listened to and love that nostalgia vibe - sounds familiar although I’d never heard it before

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 30 2022

Tokyo is a masterpiece Jameels space ride sounds straight out of the 70’s but contemporary at the same time

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jul 31 2022

Your latest trick - big jump from the poppy well known walk of life - more like a hazy jazz bar when quiet or lift music Some poppy well known tunes then random jazz bar late night cofffe shop fodder

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Aug 01 2022

This is an excellent album, so much so that I listened to the whole back catalogue of Nick Drake and researched a bit more about his life. Tragic that he died only at 26, but leaving a legacy of his beautiful voice and compositions which remain timeless.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Aug 02 2022

Classic Also forgot he did a cover of ‘across the universe’ by the beatles - noice

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Aug 03 2022

Nice background music then defaulted into bully Bragg on YouTube

New Forms by Roni Size
Aug 04 2022

Forgot how much I loved the songs on this album - reminder of the 90’s and whilst at Uni

Soul Mining by The The
Aug 05 2022

First time listening to this band - liked it nice clear vocals but billy bragg meets pop - more please

The Next Day by David Bowie
Aug 06 2022

What’s not to love about this one. Sounds close to black star but given the times of their release not surprised. Great tunes all could have been on his final album. Where are we now is one of my all time favourite Bowie tunes. Just wish I had got to see him perform.

Aug 07 2022

Killer Queen a classic probably the only stand out tune on this album for me

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Aug 08 2022

Blast back from the 90’s forgot how much I loved these guys at the time. Ball lightening very foo fighters - on a rope -classic!

Aug 09 2022

I love the music as an instrumental album - but find the lyrics too sickly and insincere.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Aug 10 2022

Classic - hold on

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 07 2022

Classics known but not heard the full album -

Long album - few classics in there thought it would have a bit more of a live feel - good to hear bobs voice before the crackles started to show

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 10 2022

Expected sadness from the smiths/morrisey- many songs I knew but didn’t recognise from this album. Poignant has was my to listen album when we heard the Queen had died - so bravo random albums generator!

Dookie by Green Day
Sep 11 2022

Classic nice bit of f&@k it when working

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 26 2022

Enjoyed this more than any other of their future albums

Sep 27 2022

This was a tough album to endure - I listened to the first 3 ‘songs’ and stopped listening to the album generator for 2 months! I gave it another go today and realised it’s not for me - too many issues to start I haven’t got the energy……..

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Sep 28 2022

Classic when Bobs voice was at its bests - tangled in blue always a jam night favourite

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 29 2022

No life is too short - got to song 2 on the album and gave up

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Sep 30 2022

Forgot how much I loved the tunes on this album - sending me back on a chilled 90’s vibe. Beautiful to remember the influence women had on this era of music - which has often been overshadowed. Effortless homage striking of the mid 90’s. Sexy chilled 90’s vibe thanks for the reminder.
