Popular Reviews

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth

Someone should create a list of 1001 albums you don’t need to hear before you die and put this on it.

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners

Like finding a Rembrandt in your Grandmother’s garage

Aja by Steely Dan

I could drink a litre of boxed wine and smoke a pack of cigarettes every day and it wouldn’t come close to ageing me like 40 minutes spent listening to Steely Dan

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

There’s Chinese water torture and then there’s Captain Beefheart…
