Popular Reviews

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

I sure hope he was just joking about all that stuff.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley

Yeah this is what elvis sounded like

Some cool, unique stuff going on. I’m sure I’d like this more if my favourite show was friends and my favourite drink was whiskey and my favourite pastime was eating cigarettes.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead

Not the best radiohead album but better than most albums on this list.

Is This It by The Strokes
Sep 29 2024

Good album when it’s good, lame when it’s lame.

Sep 30 2024

This album rocks. Awesome, beautiful, melancholic. Grabs you and holds you close for the 50 min runtime. Never listened to before but I’m glad I did.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Oct 01 2024

Okay album, some good moments but I was bored by some songs.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 02 2024

Great grunge album so diverse and not a bad song on it. A worthy memory. RIP Chris Cornell

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Oct 03 2024

I can see its influence on rock music but I still found most of the songs on the album uninteresting but occasionally a good song would come on. Not one to come back to.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Oct 07 2024

Beautiful album, wish it was on Spotify. I struggle to describe it.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 09 2024

The songs felt far too monotonous and felt like power chords for 40 mins. I added a star for basket case as that’s been an ear worm.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Oct 10 2024

A little weird at times but overall a lovely album.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 11 2024

Often felt quite lacklustre, picked up pace about mid way through but then lost it. Also overdubs on a live album? Seriously?

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 12 2024

I liked some stuff from the album and could see myself listening to it more but it does sound dated.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 13 2024

Nice little acoustic album, i could come back to this.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Oct 14 2024

This is ass like pink floyd if they were boring and imitating themselves ironically. Guitar parts were ok though sometimes.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Oct 16 2024

Repetitive guitars but over all not bad.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Oct 17 2024

Local man gets keyboard. No one stopped him, why?

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 21 2024

Not bad,not too into reggae so I’m perhaps being too generous, more of a 3.5/5 tbh.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Oct 23 2024

Fine I think? I forgot so probably nothing special.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Oct 24 2024

4.5 Kinda weird but I can appreciate that given its year. Also really beautiful. Big fan!

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Oct 25 2024

3.5. Nice guitar tones, not really into country but definitely interesting and diverse enough to be a fun listen. Kinda loses some of its coherency midway through though.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 27 2024

Love nick cave. There were some interesting choices musically that I’m not sure panned out too well but it’s a nice quiet album. I’d give it a 4.

Pump by Aerosmith
Oct 28 2024

☹️

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 29 2024

Some good riffs and moments but the solos were far too long and boring and since there’s so many it ruined the experience.

Oct 30 2024

Some cool, unique stuff going on. I’m sure I’d like this more if my favourite show was friends and my favourite drink was whiskey and my favourite pastime was eating cigarettes.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Oct 31 2024

Interesting album, didn’t think it would be an acappella. Not my thing really.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 01 2024

Some good songs, just not too keen on the clown-ahh music

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Nov 04 2024

Every 90s British band just had a child together and it’s these guys!

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Nov 05 2024

Dang, this is pretty good!

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Nov 07 2024

Would be a lot better if they ditched the singer and 80s keyboards.

Nov 08 2024

Okay but it really could have done with 10 good songs instead of having 40 mid songs

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 10 2024

Damn.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Nov 13 2024

I liked the strings and instrumentals but I’m not too keen on the vocals.

25 by Adele
Nov 14 2024

21 was better

1999 by Prince
Nov 15 2024

Yeah, noo.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Nov 17 2024

Meh, nothing you’ve not heard before.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 19 2024

I just don’t get Steely Dan, it started off cool but progressively I just lost more and more interest.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Nov 20 2024

It’s like nirvana but they forgot the distortion pedal 😔

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Nov 23 2024

Wow that’s a lotta reverb

Dec 03 2024

Supernaut?? More like super-mid!!

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Dec 06 2024

Was halfway through listening to the album when I found out I was listening to the wrong album. Pretty cool drum n bass album though but definitely dated.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 07 2024

You put the lime in the coconut, the limes really good but coconut's gone off

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Dec 08 2024

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Dec 09 2024

Starts off iconic, and I can’t remember the rest it was so dull.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Dec 10 2024

In Uteros better but still

21 by Adele
Dec 12 2024

I’ve always liked Adele but there were some dull songs here.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Dec 13 2024

Honk snooooo… First song was cool, like Trent Reznor mixed with PJ Harvey cool, otherwise boring, forgot I listened to it tbh.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 14 2024

Listen up y’all it’s a boring ass album with like one good track

American Gothic by David Ackles
Dec 15 2024

Dunno why the ratings so low, some people must hate fun.

Third by Soft Machine
Dec 16 2024

Boring but the occasional good part, glad 20 minute songs died.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 17 2024

Lotta people wanting to fuck morrissey in these reviews…

Dec 21 2024

Woah is this guy a weezer reference?

Triangle by The Beau Brummels

Boring, nothing special here.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Dec 23 2024

Hmm, fun energy but the vocals were lacking and music at times good, overall mid.

Document by R.E.M.
Dec 24 2024

After reading the reviews here i cant help but feel like I missed something, maybe I need to come back to this one.

Dec 25 2024

Some parts I really like but the vocals and music occasionally really lack, some production could also have lifted this album. Overall though, not bad.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Dec 27 2024

This album was great. Do I think that it is one of the 1001 albums that I must listen to before I died? Yes. It was a great album.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Dec 30 2024

If you don't like this you hate fun.

Bossanova by Pixies
Dec 31 2024

Wowzers, talk about a great old time!

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 01 2025

Not the best radiohead album but better than most albums on this list.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 02 2025

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jan 05 2025

British Steel by Judas Priest

It'd be breaking the law to go any lower!

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jan 11 2025

Took me by surprise, very good!

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 12 2025

Honestly, it had some good parts but they were unfortunately overcast by dogshit parts like the unvaried music and ass vocals. Overall okay though.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jan 13 2025

Good music to zone out to.

Smash by The Offspring
Jan 14 2025

Ugh.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jan 15 2025

As far as as grime goes, it's really good, you can do alot worse but I've never been too fond of grime.

Different Class by Pulp
Jan 16 2025

This sounds far older than 30 years old, doesn't help it's boring either. A feeling caller love was good though.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 17 2025

Great songs but the odd interludes drag it down a bit for me, but overall great.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jan 18 2025

This is great, but it's not amazing yet.

Revolver by Beatles
Jan 19 2025

Shite haircuts, good music though.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jan 20 2025

Could really do with a mix that brings out the vocals more but is overall really interesting and cool.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 21 2025

Soulful soul music by soulful man with alot of soul.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jan 23 2025

Wild Gift by X
Jan 24 2025

Little dated and simple for me. Still okay though.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 25 2025

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 02 2025

Not a fan. Would've been miles better had he divided up the songs. Had his moments though.

Blur by Blur
Feb 05 2025

I only knew song 2, but everything else was top notch, crazy distorted guitars, Albarns Bowie like vocals, it all just messed together so so well. They're kinda like an evil gorillaz. 4.5/5.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Feb 06 2025

This wasn't too bad. Just sounds really dated, cool though. Like a 3.5.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 07 2025

Was listening to it, then I forgot I was, must have been real interesting.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Feb 09 2025

I don't think I 100% got it, may need a revisit, but damp, every single part put their all into it.

Feb 10 2025

This was a hard one to collect my thoughts on, some parts were so out there I didn't enjoy it, others were filled with intent & purpose & beauty & beats that fuck. Challenging to say the least. Rating somehow seems impossible, definitely not a 1, wouldn't call it a 5 either. Most poignant album so far.

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 11 2025

Some parts are good, some parts are just meh, some are shite.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Feb 13 2025

Hot vocals & insttumentals.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Feb 22 2025

I was gonna give it a 4 but then he started loudly moaning at the end.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 23 2025

It was okay, im not a big fan of his previous work and i thought most of this to be decent but nothing crazy, the ocassional track that does grab you, however.

Forever Changes by Love
Feb 24 2025

I thought it was gonna be really generic 60s psych but i really enjoyed it, very varied and fun.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Feb 25 2025

Very good but it got very repetitive, couldve done with being half as long as well

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 26 2025

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 27 2025

Crime movie montage music.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Mar 03 2025

Really enjoyed the guitar riffs and solos going on here.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Mar 04 2025

A little too crazy for a 5 but i can appreciate it.

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 05 2025

Loved this, pop tunes everyone loves sit next crazy instrumentals and it somehow works.

Signing Off by UB40
Mar 06 2025

I'm not into reggae at all, looking at the cover I thought it was going to be punk, but I was pleasently suprised by how good it was. Good instrumentation, powerful lyrics with themes weaved throughout the album, and a good mix as well.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 07 2025

The ass production made it sound like i was listening on vinyl instead of digital, otherwise good folk music.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Mar 09 2025

"He provided tne brains, she peovided the breasts"??? Awful, i couldnt finish.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Mar 10 2025

I preferred the folk acpustic sections to the synth stuff but overall really good stuff.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Mar 11 2025

Alotta cool atmospheric stuff going on but i felt it could use more songy songs

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 12 2025

Baby i get the bends

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab

Mar 14 2025

Yeah this is what elvis sounded like

The Band by The Band
Mar 15 2025

Alotta good songs at the start but it loses its way around the halfway point, still really good though.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 16 2025

Its aight

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 17 2025

I have a hard time connecting to foreign language albums but the music was brilliant

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 18 2025

Its an alright folk acousticy album, nothing crazy but nothing bad either.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 19 2025

He was funkin towards the begining but the second half lost the funk.

My Generation by The Who
Mar 20 2025

I really liked who's next but this just wasnt good, the song my generation was good but everything else...not so good.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Mar 22 2025

I have no doubt these are great musicians, songwriters however...eeh. Annoying to listen to.

Protection by Massive Attack
Mar 23 2025
