Popular Reviews

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti

Interesting, very African sounding, fun, different genre to the rest of the albums really

All Ratings (27)

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 21 2023

Perhaps go to the concert in Belfast? Bangers on this album, though some songs are misses, and the mixing is a bit muddied. Might be good with bigger speakers. Seems to be a raw album

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 22 2023

Some real hits on this album, lovely distortion and even a bit of an Irish sounding influence in some of the melodies. Some songs do drag on/are a bit repetitive but overall, has a strong theme, unique vocals, great sound

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 23 2023

Love the crescendos of some of these songs. Industrial vibe. The melodies really catch you off guard, contrasted with the heavy distortion and unpredictable transitions. I would say that at least 6 of the tracks on this album would be single-worthy anywhere else.

The Band by The Band
Dec 24 2023

Folky, funky. Not necessarily my type of music and the song sound a bit samey to me. Not sure if I don’t have an appreciation for this album just because other things I’ve heard are a derivation of these guys.

Dec 27 2023

Not great background music, but has a good beat. It’s very good though and not my vibe. Kinda on the fence around if I appreciate violence and guns being talked about in music.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Dec 28 2023

Boppy, hot chip is great for a bit of funky, chill listening with great beat, fun vocals. Each track is pretty great with no real weak ones.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Dec 29 2023

Relaxing. All I know of Buddy Holly is from American Pie. Kinda Elvis-y

The Yes Album by Yes
Dec 30 2023

A performance; harmonies across stereo space, guitar solos, a deeply 70s prog rock album.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Dec 31 2023

A bit aged sounding but sounds like classic rock for me. Slow and the track is a bit muddled sounding. Interesting riffs that were probably more revolutionary at the time.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 02 2024

This remaster is certainly good, has a lot of dynamicness, even though the songs may not be as supercharged as later hard rock like Metallica. Classic punk sound as well.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jan 04 2024

I remember this was the first slipknot album I was disappointed in because it wasn’t as heavy as the previous ones. Listening back, the genre had really changed.

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jan 05 2024

Great guitar riffs on this album, some active listening demanded

Jan 06 2024

Classic smiths sound, with the talk-singing and a matching slow drifting guitar and drum ensemble.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 07 2024
Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 10 2024

Nice, really listenable, sounds like a rock version of David Bowie tbh.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jan 11 2024

Lighter Marilyn Manson-y sound. Slower, less distorted but still a bit electronic and industrial. Rammstein vibes too

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jan 12 2024

Could get behind this kind of jazz.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 13 2024

A few bangers on the album, like waterfall and I am the resurrection, but a lot of the tracks do seem like filler. I really great though

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 15 2024

Honestly haven’t listened to Elvis much but it is a bop. Can see why he was so popular. The whole album is beautiful actually, and I’m glad it’s been recommended.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 16 2024

Funky, interesting use of instruments. Sounds like something that would make it into a Tarantino movie.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 17 2024

Background music for me, not my cup of tea and I find the vocals to not be crisp, but it’s a vibe

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jan 18 2024

Mix of the clash and sum 41, old school vocals and drums but guitar sound getting a little more modern

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Jan 19 2024

Interesting, very African sounding, fun, different genre to the rest of the albums really

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 20 2024

80s synth rock, love it. Gives vibes of films you’d watch with your parents in the 90s 00s in the living room on free tv

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jan 22 2024

Not bad, not sure if I’m a fan of bob dylan tbf
