Popular Reviews

While musically this shows it's age, this is a classic of the genre. Sadly it's themes are still relevant today. Some of the guitar work is a leap forward from earlier punk records and you can see how much this influenced the later movement and hardcore scene.

Nevermind by Nirvana

One of the most important albums of all time.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo

The negative reviews for this tend to be from middle aged men who love 70s rock music and seem to hate anything made by people of colour. This album is one of the best 90s r'n'b records.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jun 22 2023

From a point that Hip-hop was becoming the best version of itself, this is one of the best.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jun 28 2023
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 29 2023

Obviously one of the all time greats.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jul 03 2023

A decent enough listen, but a bit MOR and forgettable.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jul 05 2023

One of the most important albums of all time.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jul 19 2023

Quite dated and not as good as similar records.

Timeless by Goldie
Jul 20 2023

Just not my thing, has it's merits for the genre, but it's one of the few genres I can't stand.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jul 26 2023
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Jul 29 2023

It's a fantastic album, not sure how often I want to listen now we know what Win Butler has been upto.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jul 30 2023

Not what I expected, is it a mess? Kind of, but it's ok.

Cross by Justice
Aug 01 2023
Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Aug 04 2023

Not as good as the Smiths and he's such an awful person that he loses a star, because we probably shouldn't listen to it anyway.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 08 2023

Probably the best hip-hop debut ever, definitely one of the best hip-hop albums ever.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Aug 17 2023

A true classic. Ignore the reviews from grumpy middle-aged men, who only like what they listened to 40+ years ago, this is great.
