Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 10 2023

great background music, but not really something I would sit and listen too. not bad, just not my thing

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Oct 17 2023

There's a lot more Stevie wonder on the album than Stevie wonder you would like

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Oct 19 2023

I'd forgotten how good the first few songs were, but the remainder of the album is same and dated.

Oct 20 2023

some standout tracks on here, and nothing to be skipped

Music by Madonna
Oct 25 2023
To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 01 2023

There’s a stack of potential on this but most of it is ruined by his potty mouthed ramblings

Nov 03 2023

loved this. previously dismissed what I'd heard of the zutons as them being just 'ok'. listened again already

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Nov 06 2023

great songs. great vocals. gone at 27 :(

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Nov 08 2023

Great discovery. Never heard of this guy before but I can see how he’s been an influence to some artists i like

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 10 2023
Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Nov 13 2023

not his best work

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 15 2023

thought I liked Neil Young more until I listened to this, now I realise I like some Neil Young tracks, but he has a lot of skippable material

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Nov 16 2023

difficult choosing between a 2 and a 3. There are some excellent tracks on here, but they go on too long and there are (in typical blues style) plenty of 'JUST GET ON WITH IT' tracks

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Nov 20 2023

With the exception of Corpus Christi Carol this is a great album. Hallelujah being an obvious highlight, still reminds me of Shrek before Leonard Cohen

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 22 2023

nothing standout. some familiar and nice sounds but an easily fogetable experience

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Nov 23 2023

familiar soft bass, weary vocal, occasionally shifting pitch and sounding like he's forgotten to take a breath. inoffensive and incredibly samey

90 by 808 State
Nov 24 2023

The initial excitement on seeing this album was short lived. Magical Dream shows how much this sound has dated, and whilst it picks up slightly with Corbra Bora it certainly doesn't excite me like it would have 30 years ago. Pacific 202 is the gem on this album, a variation on Pacific 707 which is still a great record/tune/track/sound/thing

Illmatic by Nas
Nov 29 2023

Pleasantly surprised

Nov 30 2023

This could be good, but it isn't. similar story to Kendrick Lamar (but not as bad). Some good ideas, the music is well put together, but the lyrics and the vocals are dreadful. not only did his mother lack a bar of soap to wash out his potty mouth, but he sounds amateur with his delivery. great foundations but shocking build

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Dec 06 2023

This is what all music would sound like if each band member was remote and individually dialled in over questionable internet

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Dec 07 2023
1999 by Prince
Dec 12 2023

Started well, but lost interest part way through. nice sound but very repetitive

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Dec 20 2023

Started promising, but the remainder conjures images of lutes and skipping

OK by Talvin Singh
Dec 21 2023
Rio by Duran Duran
Dec 22 2023
Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Dec 27 2023

Consistently underwhelming

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 01 2024
3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 02 2024
The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jan 03 2024

pace and voice make all sounds feel long and same

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jan 05 2024

technically interesting, but not my taste

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 08 2024
Smile by Brian Wilson
Jan 18 2024
Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jan 24 2024
S&M by Metallica
Jan 29 2024

self indulgent toss

Jan 30 2024

I would never of expected tracks like Jamaican Jerk Off, and Social Disease from Elton John, but they are on there and need to be heard to be believed. Couple of good well known tracks but overall it suffers from too much confidence. sometimes you need to think 'is this shit?' and care

Pulled into the 3s by one song

The Score by Fugees
Feb 20 2024

Pulled into the 3s by one song

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Feb 21 2024

Pulled into the 3s by one song

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 28 2024

Some great intros and then the same tediously drawn out sound failing to reach a climax

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 01 2024
Survivor by Destiny's Child
Mar 07 2024

A disjointed and poor second half pulls the rating down

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 26 2024
LP1 by FKA twigs
Mar 27 2024

This was initially exciting, but ultimately it was 10 indistinguishable tracks

Apr 25 2024

I'd heard of Yes, but hadn't listened to them. I'm not sure how that had happened but i'm glad it did. time saved

Some claim that there’s a track on here with a staggering 4 chords! Most likely a mistake by the guitarist. One sound, different tempos (sometimes)
