Popular Reviews

Among The Living by Anthrax

I thought the second half of this album was okay but the first half just felt like a parody of speed metal. I'm sure it was impressive at the time.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Dec 01 2023

I was just talking about this album minutes ago...and it was also the first album I ever bought! I'd go as far as to say that I might not even be in this group (or a huge music fan) had I not stumbled onto Adam and the Ants on American Bandstand when this album came out.

Murmur by R.E.M.

I like this album more than any Nirvana album.

The Coral by The Coral
Aug 10 2026

This albums seems to be all over the place, something I normally appreciate but kinda find it annoying here (maybe cos I'm trying to get my head around it in order to assign a point value, something I wouldn't normally be thinking about.)

Different Class by Pulp
Aug 11 2026

I never got into Pulp but this sounded fine, and would probably grow on me with more listens (of course, that's probably true of a lot of albums!)

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Aug 13 2026

I've been trying to get into this album for years now, going back to the 90's. I guess I liked it better on this listen than in the past, but still not sure I see the brilliance that others do.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Aug 18 2026

Another that has never really moved me and still doesn’t.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Aug 19 2026

I wanted to like this more than I did, after becoming more of an admirer of Dolly’s work after listening to the podcast Dolly Parton’s American recently.

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Aug 20 2026

I wish this was a 10 point scale cos I do like this more than other albums I gave 3 stars. Still, my issue with this album is its sameness: there are some strong songs but collectively, not a lot of variety.

Aug 24 2026

Thanks for making me listen. I'd like to give this more spins. I've never liked "Cisco Kid" but I appreciated the rest of the album

Suede by Suede
Aug 26 2026

I was a little disappointed in this album when it was released, as the singles and b-sides that came out before it were so amazing, I had extra high expectations. With the passing of time, I can better apprecaite this album as it is and, in my opinion, there isn't a duff track on it. It's really closer to 4.5 stars for me.

Aug 28 2026

This might grow on but those vocals make it tough for me to want to keep listening, despite the fact that I think "Take On Me" is a fine song!

Among The Living by Anthrax
Aug 31 2026

I thought the second half of this album was okay but the first half just felt like a parody of speed metal. I'm sure it was impressive at the time.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Sep 01 2026

More like 3.5. Good album, better than most of my 3's.
