Popular Reviews

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

Offensive, misogynistic, an album of nothing but the N word because he thinks he can and an uncountable amount of mother fuckers.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon

Just couldn’t tried but couldn’t. I really can’t understand why this tripe is in the top 1001 albums nevermind the top 100001

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 12 2022

Great album, only issue is Eruption grates, 1 min 40 secs of EVHs self indulgence

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Dec 13 2022

Opens with a belter “Good times bad times” then becomes samey precursor to much better things

1999 by Prince
Dec 17 2022

Prince at his funkiest

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Dec 20 2022

I remember buying this when first released a lot of hype about it. Played it lots and then never went back. Not in a massive rush to go back again

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Dec 23 2022

Surprised, good listen

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 28 2022

Just what I needed. Played through twice straight away and added to my vinyl wish list.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Dec 31 2022

Nice surprise, not heard this before

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jan 05 2023

Just couldn’t tried but couldn’t. I really can’t understand why this tripe is in the top 1001 albums nevermind the top 100001

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Jan 06 2023

Megadeath? Wouldn’t of imagined it would be on the list. OK nothing special

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 07 2023

Background music, whiney voice

Blur by Blur
Jan 19 2023

Not blur’s best but a good listen

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 21 2023

No words, hours and hours of listening never ever get tired of this.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jan 22 2023

Not come across this artist before surprised as he’s been around since we’ll back in the 90s. I was expecting heavy reggae/dub but disappointed to get dub lite background music.

Closer by Joy Division
Jan 25 2023
Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jan 27 2023

Back in the day this would have been cut to 8 tracks. Too much filler not enough original content, saved by a pretty voice, but still generic country/pop.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jan 28 2023

Really wanted to give this 3. 5 great album but just struggle with the hype around it.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jan 31 2023

One of those you played to death back when it was released then put away. Good to have it back out dgain

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Feb 03 2023

I will be disappointed if this is the only PS album in the list. In my opinion not their best but still good.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 07 2023
The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Feb 08 2023

This might as well be an album of fire starter remixes apart from a couple of tracks but I like it

Nixon by Lambchop
Feb 13 2023

Each track is indistinguishable from the last and they’re all dull an boring

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 14 2023

Good but not his best

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 16 2023
Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Feb 17 2023

Aweful

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Feb 19 2023

Not my thing, good voice though

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 20 2023

A lot of wailing in it. Somehow you think it’s going to be the greatest but when you sit down and listen it’s just a bit grinding on the nerves. Held up by a couple of excellent tracks.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Feb 21 2023
Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Feb 22 2023

Why is this on the list, they’re just Beatles/stones wannabes, it has nothing original or anything that stands out.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Feb 23 2023
Goo by Sonic Youth
Feb 25 2023
The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Feb 27 2023

Has a very 60s feel to the production. Alex Turner is an amazing lyricist but his delivery gets very tiring and samey. The songs would be better served by employing different singers to give them more life

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 03 2023
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 04 2023
Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 08 2023
The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 10 2023

Why this album by Madness, there are far better

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 14 2023
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Mar 16 2023
Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 18 2023

Reassuring, just fun to listen to

Fun House by The Stooges
Mar 27 2023

Could have been a five but for LA blues being shit

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Apr 02 2023

Offensive, misogynistic, an album of nothing but the N word because he thinks he can and an uncountable amount of mother fuckers.

Suede by Suede
Apr 03 2023
Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Apr 11 2023

Awesome, all those years ago Euan Brown lending me the record and saying they’re playing rock city. Hooked ever since

Damaged by Black Flag
Apr 17 2023
Melodrama by Lorde
May 02 2023

Why do they all sing in this nasal mockney way. Is there no one out there that has their own voice now just over-produced sameness

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
May 03 2023
Revolver by Beatles
May 06 2023

I was adamant that I wouldn’t rate any Beatles albums so high but when you listen…..

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 10 2023

Not sure what category to put this in ……. Oh yes tge fucking shit category

Music by Madonna
May 12 2023
Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 13 2023

The best Stones album by far

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 16 2023
Dookie by Green Day
May 20 2023
Back In Black by AC/DC
May 30 2023

Goes beyond 5 stars. Just the best. After we thought the AC/DC world had ended with the tragic loss of Bon along comes Brian and slots in perfectly. There isn’t a bad track on this album. Full of forceful driving rock and dripping with sexual innuendo. Just awesome.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jun 26 2023

Forgot how good this album is. It just sits on the self and rarely comes out. Listening on Spotify through small speaker though don’t do it justice. Let’s get home and spin it, with the volume up. It will be on more regular rotation for a while
