Popular Reviews

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley

Coles Corner is a record that is designed to be listened at dusk. It’s a record that is designed for lonely evenings. The kind where there is a vast longing to be filled but you find yourself having no capacity to properly fill it. Listening to the record is like checking into a heartbreak hotel and not quite intending to check out.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake

THIS IS LUSH!

1-Star Albums (9)

All Ratings (56)

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 15 2024

OOOH, first album on, and it's a personal favourite!

Queen II by Queen
May 16 2024

Really great, perhaps too heavy for my liking, but definitely opened my eyes to some Queen songs I hadn’t initially considered ‘good listens’.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 17 2024

Very good, very few interesting songs though, different genre to bat im used to

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 20 2024

In my opinion; one of the best albums to ever exist.

May 21 2024

Not really my taste of music, quite a long album. That being said, a few obvious bangers (Hey Ya!, Roses and The Rooster) and quite comedic interludes (Good Day, Good Sir).

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
May 23 2024

Unearthly, dreamlike, and as the album title suggests: sensual. Classic Kate

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
May 24 2024

Grating voice, nonsensical lyrics. ‘Shatter’ was the best song from this album, because she stopped singing for 3 whole minutes of instrumental bliss.

Diamond Life by Sade
May 25 2024

Sade is such a great artist, can't say I'd listen to this album on repeat (too unvaried and jazz-like), but still a beautiful collection of songs.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 26 2024

Always thought Yeah Yeah Yeahs were a one hit wonder after 'Heads Will Roll', but they're really fun to listen to. Good mix of heavy to soft rock. Favourite: 'Maps' or perhaps 'Date With The Night'.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
May 27 2024

Is it Electronic? Is it Rhythm and Blues? Is it Jazz? Is it Experimental? Well.. Er, yes? Maybe? I don't know! I'm so confused! Help! Really interesting album... Do I like it? No. Was it a fun listen? Hell yeah! Such weird lyrics though; Barry, what were you smoking when you made this my friend?

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 28 2024

Banging. Not sure where my initial review went, but loved the album. 'Pictures Of Home' is a new find! :)

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 29 2024

Try to avoid Neil Young where possible, can only really tolerate 'Heart of Gold'. Everything else is just vanilla, boring. Sorry Neil, your name may be 'Young', but your songs get old pretty damn quick.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
May 30 2024

Coles Corner is a record that is designed to be listened at dusk. It’s a record that is designed for lonely evenings. The kind where there is a vast longing to be filled but you find yourself having no capacity to properly fill it. Listening to the record is like checking into a heartbreak hotel and not quite intending to check out.

Protection by Massive Attack
May 31 2024

Eh, mediocre. Nice instrumental bits though, like upbeat 'hip' elevator music. Nothing special.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 02 2024

What a vibe. Had the Strokes on my radar for a while, but never had the excuse to indulge. 'The Modern Age' and of course: 'Someday' are particular favourites from this album.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jun 03 2024

'Drawn-out' would be the phrase I'd use. Funky and experimental in places, which was fun. But I will be avoiding for the foreseeable future for its length and many-a-headache-inducing song.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jun 04 2024

Funky and flipping fun, loved it!

Jun 05 2024

I LOVE THIS ALBUM. Didn't realise Johnny Cash did fantastic covers of my favourite songs - all in one album no less! A future vinyl purchase for sure.

Scum by Napalm Death
Jun 06 2024

Shit. Didn't even listen cause reviews were so bad.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Jun 07 2024

Leonard Cohen's depressing voice makes me smile. Another great album from him.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jun 08 2024

Not as good as Nevermind, but er- well- hmm- oh never mind. Fun head banging music for people in dire need of a good therapist. Scary cool album cover. Probably wouldn't listen again, one or two catchy songs.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jun 10 2024

Never heard of 'The Electric Prunes', pleasantly surprised- Animals meet psychedelic rock vibes. Favourite: I Had Too Much to Dream (Last Night).

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 11 2024

Hmm, I initially thought Supergrass were one hit wonders... Anddd they still are!

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jun 12 2024

Oooh! Unexpected jazz/blues elements with modern folk stylistics; how surprising, polished and confident. Quite enjoyable!

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 13 2024

Taylor Swift is unbearable, but this album has a few ‘tolerable’ nostalgic bangers.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jun 14 2024

C'est Chic, unique.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jun 15 2024

Ah, I really tried to like it, but it's just not MY kind of rock. Sorry Mr Zeppelin.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jun 16 2024

Damn, that a lotta screaming, hope their throats are okay, but hey, I liked it- kinda!

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jun 17 2024

THIS IS LUSH!

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jun 19 2024

haha alien noises. Cool album, rediscovered a song I hadn’t heard in yonks!

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 21 2024

Lovely stuff Paulo, original, timeless.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 22 2024

FUCKING PHENOMINAL ALBUM.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jun 23 2024

I like Dolly, nice to listen to a country-style album once in a blue moon. However, nothing really that catching.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jun 24 2024

How can anyone like this music? Can't even hear the lyrics, may as well just be instrumental.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jun 25 2024

Oh yeah! George Harrison’s solo career is great, I love this album more than I love my future child.

Jun 26 2024

Eh, nothing special here. Sorry Pulp, you’re a one album wonder.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jun 27 2024

CLASSIC ROCK CLASSIC ROCK CLASSIC ROCK. What a fantastic album.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jun 28 2024

Boring, nothing special. Prefer Michael.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jun 29 2024

Nice album Dusty, but didn’t really flow for me.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jun 30 2024

Funny, the songs with words really didn't do it for me... The ambient, however - totally awesome! The Big Ship is SUCH A TUNE!

Fun House by The Stooges
Jul 01 2024

Ugh. Iggy you let me down

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jul 03 2024

Loved it! Bit samey in places…

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jul 04 2024

Timeless? Yes. Bloody lengthy? Very much so. Do two sort of cancel each other out? I have pretty mixed feelings.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 06 2024

Smooth Jazz isn't really my thing. Miles Davis is popular for being a timeless artist, but I just didn't enjoy it–felt like elevator music.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jul 07 2024

AAAAAH CRAZY FUN ALBUM, LEG WAS SHAKING THE ENTIRE TIME! AM I OKAY? PROBABLY NOT.

1984 by Van Halen
Jul 08 2024

Had high hopes, after first two absolute bangers the album goes downhill. Very repetitive in my eyes :(

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jul 10 2024

I enjoyed this album. Short n' sweet songs with catchy lyrics. Nothing stood out particularly, but a fun listen!
