Popular Reviews

Future Days by Can

Let's call a spade a spade, this is crap and maybe was good when you were high on mushrooms in the 70s but how this is a top 1001 album, I have no idea

The Bends by Radiohead

Just a brilliant album, forgot how good

1-Star Albums (8)

All Ratings (90)

Stankonia by OutKast
Jan 09 2023

Not my normal music but really good album. Some tracks seems to be unnecessarily explicit but a few absolute quality tracks. Worth some more listens.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jan 10 2023

Great album, Nice melodies as expected with ELO. Couple of awesome tracks. Nice and easy listening

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 11 2023

Not really my cup of team.Was OK, few known hits but not much else apart from that

Sound Affects by The Jam
Jan 13 2023

Nice and easy to listen to. Few good tracks but nothing outstanding. Solid

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 14 2023

Was fine, nothing special. Fine for the background but not planning on listening again

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jan 16 2023

Surprisingly good, very 80s! Got a bit tiresome by the end but a good listen

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jan 17 2023

Really good album, enjoyed every song and would listen more. Great start to the week

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 18 2023

Fine to listen to in the background but quite repetitive.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 19 2023

Good album, nice easy listening. Just a shame he can't really sing!

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jan 20 2023

Fine to listen to, not really anything to shout about but better than I initially thought it would be

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 21 2023

I will be honest, was not thrilled to see this pop up but actually really enjoyed the album. He can really sing!

Jan 22 2023

Good background music when working but would not go out of my way to listen to again

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jan 24 2023

Not really for me. Ok to listen to but not really enjoyable or anything that could be sung to.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jan 25 2023

Very unusual but some tracks ok but largely forgettable

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jan 26 2023

Similar to beatles but worse

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jan 27 2023

Apart from.unfinished sympathy, not a lot to shout about

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jan 29 2023

Not sure what to say, unusual. Some good, some less so. Reminded me of songs from a musical like phantom of the opera etc

Jan 30 2023

Why is he so angry and needlessly swearing constantly!?! Yes, I am old! End of the album gave me a headache yet some good riffs, shame about his voice!

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 31 2023

Fine to listen to in background. Nothing to shout about though

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Feb 01 2023

Good voice and easy listening

The Man Who by Travis
Feb 02 2023

Memories of my teenage years but great album. Loved listening again

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 03 2023

Was fine, short tracks that were not particularly memorable.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 04 2023

I was so depressed with this album, I mean cheer up. If they had remixed all songs like Clint Eastwood and 19-2000, would actually be quite good. But despite these two tracks, still doesn't lift it higher than a 1 as had to listen to that dross!

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 05 2023

Fine to listen to, nothing amazing

Feb 06 2023

Must say, was dreading this with my preconceptions but actually really enjoyed it. Better than a lot of rap out there today

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 07 2023

Good album, very close to a four if some of the last few songs were better but strong 3

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 08 2023

Great album, yes can be depressing but quality songs

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Feb 09 2023

Well the music was actually OK, some amazing guitar solos and the drummer was insane. Bit the singing, or should I say shouting, was not so good! And so angry! Also a hit repetitive. Not sure I will be listening again anytime soon!

Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 10 2023

Few good tracks, few duffers but ended up listening to load of 80s tracks on Spotify so good times!

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 11 2023

Nothing special and started to get repetitive

Feb 12 2023

Decent queen album strong start but declined somewhat. Nearly a 4 but not quite

The Score by Fugees
Feb 13 2023

If you have to remix the same s9ng four times on the album, and one that was not particularly that good, think that says it all. Needless profanities but couple of decent songs, mainly the covers!

Heroes by David Bowie
Feb 14 2023

Not sure I understand the concept of the second half of the album. Nothing outstanding for me

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Feb 15 2023

Much stronger second half of album with exception to last song but overall, not great. Felt like he was trying to be Bowie

Feb 16 2023

Surprisingly OK, did not hate this but still not something I would go out of my way to listen to.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Feb 17 2023

Not as bad as expected, another one I would not go out of my way to listen to but definitely a good couple of tracks on here

Feb 18 2023

OK album, nothing great but purely for the last song having 10 minutes of one chord, gets a 2

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 20 2023

Not sure what to make of this. What genre was it even! Alternative pop? Doubt I will be listening again.

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 21 2023

Just a brilliant album, forgot how good

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 22 2023

Good album, easy to listen to.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Feb 23 2023

Quite a good heavy metal album, not shouting as expected and quite enjoyable

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 25 2023

OK album, some songs sounded very similar but OK on the whole. A three but only just. Doubt I will be listening again

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Feb 26 2023

Reminded me of massive attack so not a shock to find he was initially part of them! Slightly weird but good to work to with it in background

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 27 2023

Good album, happily listen again.

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 28 2023

Was actually OK, some good rap.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Mar 01 2023

OK baseline and some of the kisic good. Shame about the lyrics and some of it sou ding like Ross ' keyboard playing!

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 02 2023

Not the best offspring album but still good fun

Hotel California by Eagles
Mar 03 2023

Good album though tailed off towards the end. Torn between a 3 and 4 but purely for their iconic hotel california, gets a 4

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Mar 04 2023

Not quite my thing. Had issue where first track was on some weird loop for about 15 mins which didn't help but was not great.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Mar 05 2023

Good garage album, enjoyable but would not necessarily go out of my way to listen again

Mar 08 2023

I'll be honest. Not good. Not even punk. Just nothingness. First album I have not finished.

25 by Adele
Mar 10 2023

If I am honest, not amazes by this album. Too much warbling. Outstanding song is hello and then goes downhill. Solid enough but not planning on listening again

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 11 2023

Good album, would listen again but not one that I would rave about

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 12 2023

Was fine, better than some beatles stuff but not going to listen again

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 13 2023

Beautifully put together album, good to work to

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 14 2023

Really good album, fantastic voice

Drunk by Thundercat
Mar 15 2023

Didn't get this album. Was a struggle to get through. Seems you either love or hate this...I am definitely with the latter

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 16 2023

Started good but tails off towards the end, couple of bad and long songs

Nowhere by Ride
Mar 17 2023

Not bad, bit britpop and indie. Reminded me of charlatans in places bit heavier. No stand out tracks but good overall

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Mar 18 2023

Was fine, nothing particularly inspiring unless you like someone singing with an acoustic guitar. Reminded me of a man in the corner of a pub

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Mar 19 2023

Nothing amazing and definitely not as good as arctic monkeys. Strong start but then declines. No different to what I remembered

Berlin by Lou Reed
Mar 20 2023

Was OK until thr last few tracks. Particularly depressing and not quite what I want to listen to tbh

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Mar 21 2023

Was a struggle to get through. Nothing to excite you and each track is needlessly long

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 22 2023

Old school rock and roll with a hint of country elements! Not bad but not planning on relistening.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 24 2023

Starts off good but then nothing much to shout about. Solid album

Mar 25 2023

Some absolute belters taking me back to my teenage years. Couple not too bothered by but still a good album

Vespertine by Björk
Mar 26 2023

I mean this didn't offend me but just didn't get it and as far as I am concerned, not very good.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Mar 31 2023

60s style but also mixed with strange concept album. Started poor, improved but back down again. Not planning on listening to anymore

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Apr 01 2023

Cannot really remember anything from this album despite only listening yesterday. 60s that was very uninspiring

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Apr 02 2023

Not great, no stand out tracks. All just fine

Boston by Boston
Apr 25 2023

Such a strong start yo an album but ultimately the last few tracks let it down. Some great songs and melodies and a bit zeppelin esque in places

Document by R.E.M.
Apr 27 2023

Better than the last REM album I had but still not massively memorable

Future Days by Can
Apr 28 2023

Let's call a spade a spade, this is crap and maybe was good when you were high on mushrooms in the 70s but how this is a top 1001 album, I have no idea

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Apr 29 2023

Album actually got better as it went on, solid enough

Young Americans by David Bowie
May 06 2023

Really enjoyed this album, great melodies, loving the bit a jazz and even better when not expecting much

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
May 08 2023

Nothing amazing, some decent melody but not particularly exciting or captivating

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
May 10 2023

Don't get this band at all. Just not my cup of tea, very uninspiring

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
May 12 2023

Why would you think it is a good idea to have the harmonica on every track. Made my ears bleed and had to stop listening. Album just got worse as it went on.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
May 13 2023

Fine to listen to in a bar in Spain but not really one to listen to in the car in England
