Popular Reviews

xx by The xx

Calming enough, but dissapointed by the lack of progression. Not a lot happens all album long.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie

Struggled with this one. Don't usually mind Bowie, but there was nothing on this album to grip my attention.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
May 17 2024

Incredible instruments. Bass steals the show. Not a fan of the vocal style, but that is more personal taste than lack of artist ability.

xx by The xx
May 18 2024

Calming enough, but dissapointed by the lack of progression. Not a lot happens all album long.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 19 2024

Every song drags a little too long. They find a cool sound, but do nothing but repeat it. It felt like they didn't know how to close off their songs. Decent sounds, but lose their effect by running too long.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 20 2024

Takes me back to being a teenager. Fantastic album that finds a good balance between cutting chuggs and melodic, technical riffs. Perhaps not for everyone, but a clear winner for the genre.

25 by Adele
May 21 2024

Incredible singer. Her talent is likely to be generational. However, the tracks themselves are the musical equivalent of a stock image. I'm not familiar enough to know where this album fits in with her portfolio, but it struck me just how safe and samey each song was. Unfortunately, Adele's incredible voice was not enough to break the monotomy.

May 22 2024

Was surprised by how many tracks I recognised and can see why it's on the list. Not my cup of tea as I found each track a bit repetitive.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
May 24 2024

Not particularly notable. Sounds like an amalgamation of artists who came before. Not sure it's deserving of the list, but wasn't terrible either.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 25 2024

Genre defining. There are few albums that can illicit feelings of nostalgia and "simpler times" without feeling dated - this is one of them.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 26 2024

Always found Nine Inch Nails to be an aquired taste. I've heard the album a few times before, but it's only recently started to click. Unnecessarily pretentious at parts, but an undeniably important cog in the musical niche they've created.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
May 27 2024

You know those 90's daytime show jingles? This was the longform version of those.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 28 2024

Struggled with this one. Don't usually mind Bowie, but there was nothing on this album to grip my attention.

One World by John Martyn
May 29 2024

I just don't get it? There was nothing musically impressive and the album just drones on. It's only saving grace is that it was over quickly.
