Faust IV by Faust

It ain’t that good

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

Back to back to back great albums. Franks more gangster than most rappers nowadays with his mob ties. Love is here to stay I already knew and frothed but hadn’t listened to the full album, You’ll find me bumping his Xmas album come December

Sep 05 2024

Most of the songs on the this album don’t really go anywhere and are not helped by the mumbling rambling vocals. It’s punk with none of the kick

Dookie by Green Day
Sep 09 2024

Coming out strong with Burnout showing the clean punk sound for the whole album, Green day’s best work imo. No skips throughout, I’m abit biased. Turning the volume up F.O.D for it being too quiet in the first half then getting blasted, classic.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 10 2024

Don’t mind a good female fronted punk band, sussing out the wiki only got three members so that’s pretty impressive. I’m sure a lot of triple j bands take inspiration from this

War by U2
Sep 11 2024

U2 always been eh for me can’t change my mind, Some classic triple m songs on this one tho

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 13 2024

Up my alley for whiney vocals but nothing stand outs as being a super interesting album. Saved Live forever and Married with children for the playlist rotation but other than those it’s abit lacklustre. Bonus on having a sweet looking album cover

Sep 18 2024

Whole range ehhs no massive 80’s hitters for me. Quite boring throughout the album. Only redeeming song is Someone somewhere and even that’s just alright

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 19 2024

Just plain sucked, she still tours tho

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Sep 25 2024

Very weird album through and through. How are these in a 1001 list

1999 by Prince
Sep 30 2024

A very 80’s synth heavy album. Little red corvette is one of princes best

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Oct 01 2024

Never considered myself a jazz/blues fan but I enjoyed every minute of this. Gonna go against my usual studio is better than live and say that the live is definitely better than the studio tracks. Gonna consider getting this in a vinyl format next time I see it. Also album cover’s colour contrast is noiicee

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Oct 02 2024

Today I found out the piano in Susan’s house is sampled for Pez and 360’s Festival song interesting. The first half of this album is better than the second half

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Oct 03 2024

For being pre 70’s it goes alright, Nothing really stick outs to me but interesting that there isn’t a remaster for this

Oct 07 2024

It’s not his best work in my opinion but there’s some great ones on here. Way better than his new stuff

Different Class by Pulp
Oct 08 2024

Yeah I don’t love but I don’t hate it, goes alright

Bossanova by Pixies
Oct 09 2024

Abit boring, their other work is way better

Faust IV by Faust
Oct 11 2024

It ain’t that good

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 14 2024

Damn he got a nack for storytelling, Would listen again

The Band by The Band
Oct 15 2024

Sounds abit like grateful dead just not as good, Pretty good overall would listen again

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 17 2024

The album cover had me thinking I was going into a country or a classic rock type album then the first play is a 90’s underground club soundtrack. Goes alright for the genre

Picture Book by Simply Red
Oct 18 2024

Had a fair amount of good song in this, would listen again. Give it a 3.5 if I could

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 23 2024

Vocals can quiet at stages and overall mixing all of the place but otherwise too terrible

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Oct 28 2024

Can’t get more 80’s than this. Would give it 3 stars but no matter how much Running up that hill gets overplayed it’s still a great song, bumped it up to 4 stars

Moving Pictures by Rush
Oct 29 2024

Moving pictures got some great songs, YYZ (Boss fight theme) and limelight is just a banger can’t go wrong. THEN you flip the record to side B and it’s all average songs that don’t tickle my fancy. I reckon the band would’ve been more popular if the frontman actually looked good, ain’t no chicks going for that. Also the start of YYZ sounds like a bunch of spanners in a draw

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Oct 30 2024

Listened to this on my 1am drive home, Was a good time for this

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Oct 31 2024

Wouldn’t know what the second half of that album sounds like, didn’t get that far.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Nov 01 2024

I always hear about this being highly rated but never fully listened to it, This is a great album can’t complain. All revved up and no place to go is relatable

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Nov 04 2024

In the right mood will go alright

With The Beatles by Beatles
Nov 11 2024

Not their best work but for the year it’s pre good. Paul’s cheesy songs are great

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 12 2024

A classic R.E.M album with my favourite song of theirs “It’s the end of the world as we know it” That be a good karaoke song to learn

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Nov 13 2024

Not horrible but not interesting in the slightest. Frequently found myself zoning it out

Nov 14 2024

Absolute mint album, First time fully listening to it and the first song is so good, most of the classics are on this. P.S Ay liam Bennie and the jets is still great song

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 15 2024

Ehh

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 18 2024

Pretty much the starting point for punk rock. Can be abit basic like the first half is like if early Beatles made punk, their later stuff is a lot better but from a first album could be worse

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Nov 19 2024

I like cheesy Beatles songs so it’s an easy 4

Sheet Music by 10cc
Nov 20 2024

If you put it on wouldn’t hate it but I don’t see myself going out of my way to listen to it

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Nov 21 2024

The sound and feel of this album is good but there was just no stand out songs for me

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Nov 22 2024

Boring boring doo doo music

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Nov 25 2024

Highly rate this album, a lot of good songs. Can’t go wrong with that classic tribe called quest sound

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 26 2024

It’s up there for one of my favourite albums of all time. Starting off with the nice intro straight into tonight tonight mmmm 1979, XYU, Zero too many good songs to list. Fat ass 2 hour album, On record this is a pain to keep flipping and swapping records but this is a easy 5/5 for me

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Nov 27 2024

Back to back to back great albums. Franks more gangster than most rappers nowadays with his mob ties. Love is here to stay I already knew and frothed but hadn’t listened to the full album, You’ll find me bumping his Xmas album come December

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Nov 28 2024

Great album, Perspective from a criminal and being in jail is mint storytelling wise then actually being there singing is top notch

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Dec 04 2024

Good stuff not too shabby

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 09 2024

Good stuff but didn’t blow me away like i hoped. Can appreciate the talent but low 4 for me

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Dec 10 2024

Like Amy winehouse with none of the soul, boring

The Score by Fugees
Dec 11 2024

Another good old school hip hop album with a lot songs that turned into samples for current day songs. Not too shabby

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Dec 12 2024

Just like the smiths but not as good but don’t hate it

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 16 2024

Not my jam but not terrible

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Dec 17 2024

Actually enjoyed this few songs saved for my playlists

No Other by Gene Clark
Dec 18 2024

Highly rate this album will come back to this album a lot, Clark’s know what they are doing

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 19 2024

I was expecting a high amped album like born in the usa but this is a nice quieter stripped down album, I quite rate this

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Dec 20 2024

Got an original record of this, would be a 3 but heart of glass brings it up to a 4

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 14 2025

Gonna be 5 but half way through got boring a good 4

Sea Change by Beck
May 28 2025

Nothing crazy nothing that interesting
