Popular Reviews

The Doors · 5 likes
5/5
One of the top two or three debut albums of all time. An utterly unique format for a band - no bass player, a jazz-obsessed drummer, and a keyboard player with a wacky setup, not to mention a sui generis guitar player AND Jim Morrison - the instantly create a sound and a style that both reflected current LA sounds and broke stunning new ground. And this album has some of their and the rock era’s greatest songs.
Frank Sinatra · 2 likes
5/5
My favourite Sinatra album and one of the better vocal albums in jazz-pop history. Frank was feeling blue, midnight blue, with the (predictable) demise of his relationship with Lana Turner, and it really resonates in the choice of material and the performances.
Radiohead · 1 likes
5/5
Essential album that re-established thinking-person’s rock as a viable form of popular music
The Pogues · 1 likes
4/5
A glossy and successful version of of the Pogues, with some great songs though arguably not their best. For those, go to Rum Sodomy and the Lash.
