Popular Reviews

I think probably the first album I've come across on the tour that I've physically owned. This is probably the peak of the Artic Monkeys before they started becoming lounge singers

All Ratings (187)

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 29 2024

First five tracks were very enjoyable, but I didn't feel like the latter 5 held up as much and felt like a tonal shift. Overall, a really good album.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 31 2024

Calm and chilling music, but nothing that seemed really memorable or notable.

Parklife by Blur
Apr 01 2024

Very enjoyable album, the better half of the Battle of Britpop which brings a more varied and distinct sound.

Apr 02 2024

A fairly lowkey album, but very few memorable songs amongst the track list which leads to unenjoyable listening.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 04 2024

A solid radiohead album, but in comparison to their other work this feels less iconic and less memorable. An interesting listen, but not one I'll remember.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Apr 07 2024

A very enjoyable album, brings the holiday feeling while introducing a sound I may not have listened to in the past.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Apr 09 2024

Hard hitting and bringing funk-rock beats with a mix of rap that makes a unique and enjoyable sound

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Apr 11 2024

Decent, but nothing too memorable

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Apr 12 2024

Not surprising to see why they were a one hit wonder, the album has the few enjoyable songs but otherwise isn't too memorable

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 13 2024

En klassiker

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 16 2024

Decent electronic, overshadowed by other giants of the genre

The Libertines by The Libertines
Apr 18 2024

An enjoyable listen, which I didn't expect at first

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Apr 19 2024

Was somewhat enjoyable, but a very long album and dragged things out far, far too long

Fragile by Yes
Apr 20 2024

A decent album, but in a roundabout way the majority of the score only comes from one song

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Apr 21 2024

Very one track, same sounding throughout

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 22 2024

Quite annoying, didn't really vibe with me

Debut by Björk
Apr 23 2024

Very Chill

Who's Next by The Who
Apr 27 2024

Back in the saddle for some classic Who, doesn't blow me away but fairly enjoyable

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Apr 30 2024

Enjoyable rock, lots of fun riffs that keep you interested

Hot Fuss by The Killers
May 01 2024

Bunch of bangers, with a few half decent songs falling below the par

Cut by The Slits
May 03 2024

More like The Slits my wrists

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 04 2024

Smiling politely, enjoying this album

American Gothic by David Ackles
May 05 2024

Feels like an album the simpsons would parody

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
May 07 2024

Short and sweet, some absolute bangers of songs on this album that makes for extremely easy and enjoyable listening

Whatever by Aimee Mann
May 08 2024

Forgettable, could barely finish the album

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 09 2024

Didn't think I'd like it that much, but actually decent despite being very much of the 2000s style

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 10 2024

Too long, too boring, too meh.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 11 2024

A classic, short and sweet.

Snivilisation by Orbital
May 13 2024

Reminds me of a 90s PS1 racing game soundtrack

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 14 2024

Didn't really wow me all that much

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 20 2024

Interesting vibes, I liked it but it didn't blow me away at any point

1999 by Prince
May 21 2024

The Album formerly known as "A banger"

Country Life by Roxy Music
May 22 2024

Not my favourite Roxy Music album but still full of enjoyable songs

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
May 23 2024

Maybe edit some of these tracks down a bit, you don't need to add everything

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 26 2024

Don't think im going to either, this was straight to Boringtown

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
May 27 2024

If you enjoy the sound of a building site, you'll love this.

Infected by The The
May 29 2024

Went be very quickly, a good sign. Haven't heard of this band before but will look into more of their stuff

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
May 30 2024

Some good, some bad. Overally fairly middle of the road

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
May 31 2024

Not my usual type of music, but it mixed a lot of themes and sounds that lead it to be very enjoyable. Feels like an album that might benefit from a 2nd listen

xx by The xx
Jun 01 2024

Very relaxing, very chill, very chic.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Jun 02 2024

Linko no worko

1977 by Ash
Jun 03 2024

Fairly generic, apart from one song I recognised the rest blended together into a bit of a blur

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 04 2024

Enjoyable but think this would really depend how many edibles you've taken for this to go to the next level

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 05 2024

Started interesting, then dropped like a stone into some pretty generic hip-hop

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Jun 06 2024

I was blind to the knowledge about a lot of these tracks, compared to his more famous ones but it was still an enjoyable listen you should look out for

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jun 07 2024

Tiny dancer is doing a lot of heavy lifting on this album, but overall was pretty decent and low key

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 08 2024

Another album with one song doing a lot of heavy lifting, but as much as the other songs didn't live up to Sultans of Swing, it was still very enjoyable

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jun 10 2024

Another one hit wonder, with not much substance outside of that track. Fairly underwhelming

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jun 12 2024

Didn't really vibe with me all that much, but didn't have any issues with it either

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 13 2024

Chill and a good listen, but Mr Blue Sky is doing the real heavy lifting on this album

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jun 14 2024

Real strong vibe, enjoyed it thoroughly and the live aspect only enhanced it

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Jun 17 2024

Much better than most modern hip-hop, but still nothing truly memorable

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 18 2024

Flew by and a lot of fun to listen to

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jun 19 2024

Chill music, but can get a bit samey

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jun 21 2024

Pretty chill, although a tad repetitive

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jun 24 2024

Need to rein in my blood pressure after all that headbanging

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 26 2024

Understated classic for a reason

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Jun 28 2024

Felt like a bit of a copy of Fun Loving criminals, fairly unmemorable though

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 29 2024

Cracking album, enjoyable back to front with some iconic songs among them.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jun 30 2024

Neither as interesting as Moby or as tasty as a grape

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jul 01 2024

Very french

Blur by Blur
Jul 02 2024

Fuck Oasis. This is real britpop

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jul 03 2024

Was half expecting this to be carried by Hallelujah, but was genuinely surprised by the quality on display

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 04 2024

Strong first half to the album, but drops off in the second half

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 05 2024

Enjoyed this a lot more when it came out, although listening back to it now. There's only a few tracks that really stand out

Jul 07 2024

Think I used to own this album back in the day, has some enjoyable tracks but not as strong as other albums on the list.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 08 2024

Decent, but listening to the album a lot of it sounds very samey and seemed to blend into each other.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 10 2024

Listened to over half the album, and just got a bit annoyed at it. Sounds like something I'd make if I was bored with garageband.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jul 12 2024

Gives me vibes of a 90s PS1 era racing game soundtrack, couldn't listen to it a lot but it had some catch beats

21 by Adele
Jul 13 2024

An enjoyable album, but has really suffered from its own success. Been very overplayed on radios and in adverts

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jul 14 2024

The kinda songs that are very popular in places with loose familial relations law. Can't say I live in one of those.

Eagles by Eagles
Jul 16 2024

Not the Eagles best work, but an alright listen

Skylarking by XTC
Jul 18 2024

Pleasant but nothing really to write home about

The White Room by The KLF
Jul 19 2024

The 90s party playlist, maybe a bit too hard for a school disco though

Low-Life by New Order
Jul 21 2024

Not too bad, but kind of blended together too much

Jul 22 2024

A chill and enjoyable listen, not an artist I'd heard of before and surprised by the quality

S&M by Metallica
Jul 23 2024

Really great recording, with all the hits given a new twist

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 24 2024

Fairly uninteresting, alright as background music but even then didn't really grab me all that much

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 25 2024

Bit long, and missing a few hits on it. A lot of the songs didn't really grab me

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jul 29 2024

Bit underwhelming from a fairly big artist, didn't really have the same energy or passion you'd come to expect.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 31 2024

Bit Bleh, nothing really interesting going on

evermore by Taylor Swift
Aug 01 2024

For a star as big as Taylor Swift, I'd be expecting a bit more but a lot of this album felt very samey and didn't really grasp me at all

Aug 02 2024

Experimental, didn't really love it but didn't really hate it either.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 03 2024

Chill and enjoyable, had a pretty relaxed vibe throughout without being boring.

California by American Music Club
Aug 04 2024

Not a bad album by any means, but felt like it needed to do a bit more to grab me. One for a lazy afternoon perhaps.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 05 2024

Very high energy and optimistic, this album was a really enjoyable listen.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Aug 06 2024

Can't really find much fault with this album, although its really not my cup of tea. So purely personal preference on the rating

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Aug 07 2024

One of the true classic bands of metal, this album does not disappoint at all.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Aug 10 2024

Very intimate and giving a real feel of true blues, a real showcase of an icon

Pink Flag by Wire
Aug 11 2024

Starting to realise that punk really isn't my cup of tea, can't really fault the album but it just doesn't tickle the pickle for me

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 12 2024

Did this album really have to be on this list? Not sure its even Beyonces best album, let alone part of the 1001

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Aug 13 2024

Felt very meh, almost like background music designed not to be noticed

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Aug 14 2024

Just kinda meh?

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Aug 15 2024

Alright, but the tunes can get a bit repetitive and lacking in some creativity

Aug 17 2024

For an album with a fairly iconic reputation, I didn't feel like it had the quality across the board which I would come to expect. It may be a victim of its own success in that regard.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Aug 19 2024

Not as iconic as other Led Zeppelin albums, but still one or two bangers

Violator by Depeche Mode
Aug 20 2024

This is my jam, some really iconic tracks that really show off how gifted Depeche Mode are at transforming the 80s electronica into a whole different kettle of fish

B-52's by The B-52's
Aug 22 2024

Quirky style but Rock Lobster is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Aug 24 2024

Pretty unoffensive but a lot of very samey sounding songs across the album

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Aug 25 2024

I've got a case of the blues, and Fred Neil needs some creativity in naming his albums

Aug 26 2024

The only way to make Manchester bearable is to be on copious amounts of drugs, and I think the Happy Mondays encapsulate that. The music is alright too.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Aug 28 2024

Don't really get what they're going for here, seems a bit all over the place and is a struggle to get some enjoyment out of

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 29 2024

Proof that cheating on your partner is the key to making good music

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 30 2024

Not had enough reefer to think this is revolutionary

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Aug 31 2024

The bookend songs are very strong, but I can't say the same for everything inbetween. A decent album, but feels like it could do more.

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 01 2024
Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 02 2024

Pretty standard prog rock, didn't really do anything to impress me but wasn't bad in the same sense

Sep 22 2024

Not quite as bombastic as Ive come to expect from Queen, but some solid tracks that keep it enjoyable

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 25 2024

A bit of a mush, no real definition and didnt really vibe all too much with it

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Sep 27 2024

Peaches is doing a lot of heavy lifting, the rest of the album doesn't really match up in terms of quality and leaves you feeling rather disappointed

Guero by Beck
Sep 28 2024
Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 29 2024

Very much of the 2000s but Cry me a river and Rock your body are still bangers

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Oct 01 2024

Very chill and an enjoyable listen

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Oct 02 2024

Enjoyable and upbeat, but with a very calming and reserved vibe throughout. Do wish there was some more variety throughout but still not bad.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Oct 03 2024

A hip hop album that isn't mumble rap, unfunny skits or trash beats. Colour me surprised

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Oct 07 2024

Couldn't understand a word, but very funky and enjoyable

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Oct 11 2024

Interesting covers but not much else

2112 by Rush
Oct 12 2024
Spiderland by Slint
Oct 16 2024

An enjoyable listen

Third by Portishead
Oct 17 2024

Very chill but not Portisheads best

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Oct 19 2024

Immaculate vibes. I knew of many of the more popular Talking Heads songs already, but there is a number on this album I can see joining my playlist.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Oct 20 2024

None of the Black Sabbath songs I'm familiar with, but none of them really disappointed. Although, would be hard to pick a standout

Oct 21 2024

I think probably the first album I've come across on the tour that I've physically owned. This is probably the peak of the Artic Monkeys before they started becoming lounge singers

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 26 2024

Very jazzy. Very Enjoyable. A good addition

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Oct 27 2024

Just a bit boring? The melodies were nice but there was nothing here that felt like it deserved to be on the list

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Oct 29 2024

I was hoping the live performance would have had a bit more energy, compared to some of the other live albums on the list so far but it was quite forgettable.
