Popular Reviews

Ys by Joanna Newsom

Oh I don't know It's really good, it's also really bad Just when you start liking it it smacks you in the ear with a rubbish section Songs are too long which may be the tipping point for me into not listening to it again

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jan 03 2024

Average indie rock album been plenty before and plenty after. Won't be on many people's list as while an enjoy listen you forget about it immediately after the last track

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 04 2024

Never heard of this artist or album so went in blind. What a revelation it was. This is an excellent concept album and blows you away with how well it works

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 11 2024

A good album that is unfortunately let down by not having heard it before you have listened to the famous songs hundreds of times They are timeless classics and the other songs on the album while good aren't. So through no fault of the artist the album doesn't sound as good as it probably is nearly 40 years later

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Feb 14 2024

Good but dated

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Feb 19 2024

This is one of those albums that if you was there at the time of release it means far more than if you are listening to it for the first time now I'm old enough to have been there and the nostalgia and memories that listening to this for the first time in years invokes means this is a great album. I completely understand why it would not have that effect on other people Albums from the 60s and 70s can have the same reaction from me. While not being perfect this album hits all the right notes for me and is a pleasant reminder of the power of music on the mind

Apr 06 2024

Not what I was expecting Really good with an edge to the songs that I was not ready for. Thought it would be twee easy lounge room songs

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 12 2024
Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Apr 21 2024

Over indulgent and far too long. Not something I need to listen to, I get you can play your instrument and don't need 5 or 6 minute solos to understand that fact

Surprisingly mature and serious album Only heard there cheesey stuff before.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Oct 21 2024

Sometimes you want music to put a smile on your face and lighten your mood, this album does just that.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Oct 23 2024
Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Oct 24 2024

I can see why people love this album and it should be one that I really enjoyed but I didn't. I don't know why but it just didn't hit the spot for me. Think it may be my age as am sure I would have loved this if I had bought it when it was released, I was 20 then 52 now.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Oct 26 2024

Very self indulgent, why do bands in the 70s need to include "listen to me play my instrument" parts on every song.

Dec 09 2024

The problem is that you know the hits from years of hearing them on the radio and the rest of the album can't match them I imagine that when it was released it was a great listen when you had no comprehension of what to expect

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 10 2025

Had listened to a greatest hits album by Hendrix and apart from the obvious hits didn't really like it. Listening to the same songs in the way they where originally organized and ordered and the experience is brilliant, they flow and the hits don't stand out as much. The whole album experience 5 star

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 16 2025

It shouldn't work, I shouldn't like it But I do it's excellent, the only disappointment is that it's taken over 25 years from its release to listen to it

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 25 2025
Medúlla by Björk
Mar 26 2025

Bjork s music walks a very fine line between brilliance and shit. It's very really average Unfortunately this album while having a few moments of brilliance is mostly shit It's a pity as when it's good is good

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 04 2025

Mid 20s when brit pop was the thing and loved every minute of life back then. So glad I didn't listen to this then as it has some really poor tracks on this album and it's not a pleasurable listen

1977 by Ash
Jul 06 2025
Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 21 2025

I don't really like Elvis Costello and wasn't looking forward to listening to this album. However much to my surprise I actually enjoyed it
