Popular Reviews

In Our Heads by Hot Chip

One of my favourite albums. Had this on repeat during my early twenties so it holds quite a bit of sentimental value. Flutes is on my list of all time top tracks.

Harvest by Neil Young

I was only previously familiar with Heart of Gold by Neil Young. Having now listened to more, I have to admit I’m not desperate to listen again. Not awful though.

The Cars by The Cars
May 19 2024

Recognised ‘Just What I Needed’ but otherwise not familiar with this band. The album was ok, as far as Dad-rock goes. A lot of the tracks felt similar until you hit the final two. Not one I’d necessarily dive into listening again.

May 20 2024

Decent, easy-listening. Opening and closing tracks were unnecessarily long in my opinion. An album and artist I’ll have probably forgotten by tomorrow.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 21 2024

Not in the habit of listening to live albums, but will admit this sounded great. Started off well but dragged towards the end—I get that you can play the guitar great man, but I want to listen to something else at some point today.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 22 2024

Not my jam. Something I could happily have on in the background, but not an album I would listen to intentionally.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 23 2024

Started off well and progressed into “meh, decent”. Don’t think I’d listen again, not my jam. Band On The Run is a great track, though.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 24 2024

First & final tracks were the best imo. Could leave the rest, but wasn’t awful to listen to.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
May 25 2024

Pretty good.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 26 2024

Songs were a bit too long for my liking! But jeez Jimi Hendrix could play the heck out of the guitar.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 28 2024

Not a bad track on this album. Loved it! Had me bopping the whole time.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
May 29 2024

Felt like I was in a spaceship for a while. Enjoyed it!

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 30 2024

Not in the habit of listening to Bowie but this was decent—can’t say I’d purposely listen again, though.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 01 2024

Bard music! Never listened to any Jethro Tull before so it was a pleasant surprise.

Jun 02 2024

What the heck even was “Jamaica Jerk-Off”??? Pretty decent album otherwise.

Jun 03 2024

Wasn’t really sure who this was until I heard “The Look of Love, Pt. 1”. Easy listening.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 04 2024

This is good, wasn’t blown away.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 05 2024

Not my normal jam. Appreciated it though, and my foot was tapping along occasionally.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jun 06 2024

UK punk. Not my thing. Sounded like a very mediocre version of Sex Pistols.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jun 11 2024

Never listened to this the whole way through before, but gosh it’s a banger.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jun 12 2024

One of my favourite albums. Had this on repeat during my early twenties so it holds quite a bit of sentimental value. Flutes is on my list of all time top tracks.

Da Capo by Love
Jun 13 2024

This was a weird one. Really not for me.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 15 2024

Don’t usually listen to this type of music, but it was banging. Taking off a star as I got a bit bored towards the end.

Django Django by Django Django
Jun 20 2024

Great! Reminds me a bit of Hot Chip. Not an album I’ll have on repeat, but it was one I’ll dip into every now and then.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 21 2024

Dull and monotonous. Not for me thanks

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 22 2024

Eh, not really my thing. Can’t say I found it awful though. Sledgehammer is a decent track.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Jun 23 2024

Funky bass! This was a fun listen.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jun 25 2024

Such a beautiful voice. Easy listening.

Smash by The Offspring
Jun 26 2024

Absolutely banging album. Self Esteem has to be one of my favourite Offspring tracks.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jun 27 2024

Not my cup of tea. Wasn’t entirely bad though.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jun 28 2024

Nope. All very monotonous imo.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 29 2024

Not a bad album. Not the sort of music I’d choose to listen to, but not in any rush to switch it off either. Good for a little bop!

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 30 2024

Music? Yes, decent. Vocals? Nah, I can absolutely leave them.

1999 by Prince
Jul 01 2024

Didn’t mind this at first, but then it became way too sexual. Some tracks were also way too long!

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jul 03 2024

So much love for Elephant. It’s a sentimental album for me; takes me back to my teens. Fond memories of my friend and I cranking up the car stereo to blast Seven Nation Army.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jul 04 2024

Enjoyed this, she has a beautiful voice. Kind of like The Sims music, but with vocals.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jul 05 2024

Enjoyed this, was nice to have on in the background while I got stuff done.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 06 2024

This was ok, didn’t think there was much variation though—it sounded all very samey.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jul 07 2024

Not my cup of tea, but also not the most horrific music I’ve subjected my ears to.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jul 08 2024

Such a lovely voice. Not wildly enamoured by this album, but it was nice to listen to.

Garbage by Garbage
Jul 12 2024

Very 90s, takes me back! Enjoyed it.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 13 2024

I was only previously familiar with Heart of Gold by Neil Young. Having now listened to more, I have to admit I’m not desperate to listen again. Not awful though.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jul 15 2024

Background music. Not my jam, but it wasn’t awful.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jul 16 2024

Not really a jazz kind of gal, but can certainly appreciate it when it’s there.

Medúlla by Björk
Jul 17 2024

I don’t think Björk will ever be for me.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jul 18 2024

Not my favourite album by Foo Fighters but it was great.

Jul 20 2024

Not a Queen album I’m too familiar with, and there were some good tracks, but ultimately I found this a bit meh.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jul 21 2024

Missing by Everything But The Girl is a great track, but I can’t say I’d listened to anything else by them before. I was pleasantly surprised by this album, it was pretty decent!

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 23 2024

Not a huge fan of The Rolling Stones, so this was a drag.

Dare! by The Human League
Jul 24 2024

Nothing major to note. The best track was last—have to agree with another reviewer that it was a pretty neat trick.

Queen II by Queen
Jul 27 2024

Alright.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 22 2024

This was…odd.
