Popular Reviews

Tommy by The Who

Did some reading of this album to better understand what exactly I was listening too. Felt I needed to after that fiddling song haha. Pinball wizard makes a lot more since now! Tis a seriously influential album! Like it became so important culturally that Jack Nicholson features in the movie they made of it…. Which I might try get round to watching! But overall the drums are awesome but the album is not quite for me…

All Ratings (230)

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Oct 08 2024

Some absolute classics in there. Other stuff is very of it’s time!

Oct 09 2024

Some real nice songs in there. My notable favourites were “they’re hanging me tonight” and “el paso”. This music gives me memories of 1950s cowboy movies shown on a Sunday afternoon growing up.

The Yes Album by Yes
Oct 10 2024

Clearly a great and complex album. Could do with listening to it a hundred more times to properly appreciate it.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Oct 11 2024

First song is a classic and immediately added to my playlist! Not particularly my type of music to listen full albums to but overall enjoyed it.

So by Peter Gabriel
Oct 15 2024

Patrick Bateman vibes from this one. Nice album, probably got more appreciation for him now.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Oct 16 2024

Really nice to revisit this album!

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Oct 17 2024

Good to listen to it again. Definitely not really my cup of tea. But lots of elements in it that are great. It is in my opinion probably the most iconic film music that has ever been made.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Oct 18 2024

Really great. I have always planned to listen to more of Kate Bush, so this album was very welcome and it didn’t let down. Great songs and some really nice instruments featuring throughout the album.

xx by The xx
Oct 21 2024

Doesn’t do a whole lot for me. Sound production is impressive though.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Oct 22 2024

Great band, class album. Probably one of my favourite of Radiohead.

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 23 2024

Still listen to this album frequent enough…probably stands testament to what I think of it. Awesome.

No Other by Gene Clark
Oct 24 2024

Never heard of him and after the first listen I thought it was pretty meh. But I decided to listen again a good few more times throughout the day and it got way better. Something Townes Van Zandt (only more instrumental) about it that really appealed to me.

Tommy by The Who
Oct 25 2024

Did some reading of this album to better understand what exactly I was listening too. Felt I needed to after that fiddling song haha. Pinball wizard makes a lot more since now! Tis a seriously influential album! Like it became so important culturally that Jack Nicholson features in the movie they made of it…. Which I might try get round to watching! But overall the drums are awesome but the album is not quite for me…

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Oct 28 2024

As a kid I didn’t really enjoy listening to Steely Dan in the back seat during a car journey. But they really are a grower! Excelllwnt album. Great pop hits and class guitar work! Just a couple songs that I still struggle with at the end!

Odelay by Beck
Oct 29 2024

I definitely am a bigger fan of other Beck albums, but nonetheless a cool album if not a little chaotic!

Trio by Dolly Parton
Oct 30 2024

A rather enjoyable listen. Some songs worked for me more than others.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 31 2024

I only really listened to their earlier blues stuff. It’s quite a distant memory by the time of this album. Twas a good listen. The chain is class! Started reading about the founding members of the band and it’s pretty colourful, the 70s has a lot to answer for haha.

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 01 2024

In the initial listen I not enjoy this album. This probably wasn’t helped following on from fleetwoodmac. But I lightened up and the album is grand easy listening country rock. “Train leaves here this morning” is pretty catchy stuff.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Nov 04 2024

Very good. I enjoyed.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Nov 05 2024

I think this album suffered being given to us on a Monday. I listened to a bit of it again this morning (Tuesday) and it sounded a lot better. So it was originally a 2 for me but it just snagged a 3 as i was quite enjoying it upon a 2nd listen.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nov 07 2024

Interesting to learn about Qawwali music. Maybe good to introduces to this stuff in small doses. Taking on a 2 sided album was abit of an overload. Impressive voice.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 08 2024

So begins my love for murder ballads.

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 11 2024

First time listening to the album fully. Although I felt like I knew most of it from listening on the radio. Good band.

The Bends by Radiohead
Nov 12 2024

Been quite a long time since I have listened to this album. Really great stuff.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Nov 13 2024

Twas paired very well with my crazily dark and foggy drive (with lots of car lights) to work and back! Never really bothered listening to this group, so came as a nice surprise.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 14 2024

Always been reccomended listening to their stuff and never bothered.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Nov 19 2024

Great pace. A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Nov 21 2024

Never liked them. Was over exposed to this stuff on the radio growing up

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 22 2024

Yeah very enjoyable. That signature sound of Stevie Wonder is very infectious.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Nov 25 2024

Really good. I remember seeing him in hootenanny Jools Holland one year.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Nov 29 2024

Never heard him outside Disney movies. I enjoyed that! Some pretty insightful lyrics.

B-52's by The B-52's
Dec 04 2024

Always struggled with rock lobster, but overall really enjoyed this.

Microshift by Hookworms
Dec 11 2024

Strong start and lost its way later.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Dec 12 2024

Cool wee band. Love that “A Minha Menina”

Gold by Ryan Adams
Dec 13 2024

Classic album! Reminds me of a particular summer I listened to this album non stop

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Dec 17 2024

Nice stuff

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Dec 18 2024

I have maintained a negative opinion of iron maiden since childhood. Fans of their were always super fans and a put off. However, the original singers voice in the first album is far more palatable for me. So I didn’t hate this album as much as expected.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Dec 20 2024

Jeff Beck is a legend with a very distinct guitar style. But this album didn’t do much for me. I have enjoyed other stuff of his more.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 23 2024

Always avoided this band. But this album actually ain’t bad.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 30 2024
Jan 03 2025

Awesome album. It carries real nostalgia with me and the better parts of school days.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 07 2025

Definitely if it’s time. Nice to re-visit

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 14 2025

Pretty cool stuff

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 21 2025

Not a huge Jazz fan. But hard not to like this stuff!

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jan 23 2025

They were good at what they did!

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 27 2025

Just class

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 28 2025

Solid

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 29 2025

Hard work. Enjoyed some of his stuff I have heard on the radio. But overall not my bag!

Ten by Pearl Jam
Feb 03 2025

Excellent. Never got round to listening to it before.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Feb 10 2025

Heart palpitation inducing shit!

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 17 2025

A lot of songs in there I grew up with! Hard not to like!

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 20 2025

It’s like listening to a trailer for a longer album.

Feb 25 2025

Never really listened to them besides hearing hits. Expected to enjoy this more.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Mar 05 2025

Always been in the background of stuff I was listening to and I always meant to give them a listen. Really enjoyed it. Will listen to more of their stuff.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Mar 06 2025

Pretty nice warm lounge type music

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 07 2025

Reminds me of holidays in Cuba!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Mar 11 2025

Very nice and cool

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 13 2025

A bit rougher than the earlier albums, but still quality. Might help I saw them again last summer and they played some Bossanova songs and were overall brilliant!

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Mar 14 2025

Title track is real nice. Add that to the list!

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Mar 19 2025

That was soo tough going!

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 24 2025

Just awesome. Not necessarily my favourite album of theirs. But really enjoyed my entire experience listening to it this time round.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Mar 26 2025

His voice grated on me a tad too much. Music was pretty good though.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 27 2025

Avoided listening to this until I was in the right mood for jazz. Really enjoyed gardening to it.

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 01 2025

Enjoyed this to a lovely sunny springtime lunchtime walk along a river. Quality

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 03 2025

Better than the album cover lead me to believe.

Apr 18 2025
Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 23 2025

Sounds great still and just so nostalgic to me

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Apr 24 2025

Jun 20 2025

This is first proper listen to one of their albums. My cousin was a massive fan back in the day.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jun 24 2025

Some of my all time favourite Stevie Wonder songs in there!

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 27 2025

Grand

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 30 2025
It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 17 2025

Karen O is preeeetty cool. Pretty nostalgically linked with going out in the early 2010s.

Jul 18 2025

Always meant to give Buddy Holly a listen. Pretty enjoyable.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Oct 09 2025

Never really got them and still don’t

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Oct 21 2025

Brilliant. Saw them at the beginning of the summer and it will go down as one of the best gigs I have been to.
