Popular Reviews

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

I found this album really boring to be honest, I'd get halfway through a song and be like "yeah, I've given it a crack I can move on now" over and over for the whole album. Dull. Generic. 1/5 stars.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Generic middle of the road rock. Dull. Nothing special. 1/5 stars.

1-Star Albums (44)

All Ratings (200)

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 09 2025

Not bad, inoffensive. Had maybe one or two songs I'd keep, and maybe five that I didn't skip while listening and working. Grace, Mojo Pin, and Dream Brother I kept. I'll need to listen again to see if I'll really keep those. Maybe it'll reduce down to only Grace or maybe everything will be relegated to the b-list. 2.5/5 I think.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 10 2025

Very good background music. Iron Maiden is one of those bands where they have a very uniform sound, and this album is especially so. This makes for a consistent and smooth listening experience while trying to work and concentrate on something else. When listening to the songs with focus, they are catchy and I do like the sound of them, though they are all quite similar, which makes it harder to choose the x songs of their discography which are worth keeping. 4/5 stars.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jan 13 2025

Generic and bland. Not offensive but not wonderful either, just middle of the road. highway star is pretty good for the occasional listen. Smoke on the water's riff is pretty legendary but the song itself is kinda eh. 2/5 stars.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 14 2025

alright I guess. I think it's just not my type of music, but it wasn't bad. I have no idea what was up with the clown sounds in highway 61 revisited. just why?? i grabbed three songs from the album which are pretty decent, but they'll probably go straight to the b-list. like a rolling stone, from a buick 6, ballad of a thin man). 2/5 stars.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jan 15 2025

Eh, alright. I liked the strings in friends, but it didn't quite gel with the rest of the song. immigrant song is obviously the most famous of the songs on the album, and it's fine. I swear it stole all of the energy in the album, so you have one super high energy song and a bunch of sad deflated hacky sacks for the rest. I liked the vocals of that's the way, it's nice to see something different from led zeppelin. 2/5 stars.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 16 2025

bland and generic for the most part. a natural woman was pretty good, I wouldn't want it in my playlist I don't think, but if someone was playing it out loud I don't think I'd want them to skip it. the rest was just kind of whatever though. 2/5 stars.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jan 17 2025

Not my jam, but not bad. There are parts of too high and golden lady which I quite liked, it's just not an album I would listen to intentionally. It had a nice energy to it, and his voice in jesus children of america was quite nice. but yeah, it's nice music just not for me. 2/5 stars.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 20 2025

Kind of slow and meandering in a way that didn't work for me. I liked the sound of the driving instruments in Venus in Furs, but not enough to add it I don't think. Femme Fatale isn't bad either, but more vocally than from the instruments. 2/5 stars.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jan 21 2025

An interesting sound, I vibed with it. It had a good driving beat and timing which I liked. Bodysnatchers captured the energy of this album well I think. I don't think I would need any of these songs, but they make good background music. I'll need to come back to this album though. 3/5 stars.

Jan 22 2025

I liked the main beat of Frightened, Rebellious Jukebox is also fun. Not a bad album tbh. Not my favourite but had a bit of energy which was cool. Good background music. 2.5/5 stars.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jan 23 2025

Kate Bush has a good voice and she has some good songs. This is a solid album, nothing particularly stands out as a song I need to have from her but I did enjoy listening to it. 3/5 stars.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jan 24 2025

I really liked the sound and energy of this album. A lot of the songs had an interesting sound and were catchy, I'll grab the full album and see how I sort the songs between my a-list and b-list, but I definitely think this album fills in a niche that is currently lacking. I liked Fade Away and Connected, but honestly I like them all. Also vibed with the accents in this. 4.5 stars.

Jan 27 2025

Iconic. I loved the classics: Drips, The Way I Am, The Real Slim Shady, and Under the Influence. I didn't vibe with a lot of the other songs, but some of them had some good beats. I also appreciated the flow from listening to this album consecutively and how the skits flowed into the following songs thematically. A positive 3.5/5 stars.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jan 28 2025

Sadly I did not vibe with this album. Fast Cars I loved, as legally obliged. Give Me One Reason wasn't bad either. But the rest of the album was dull, the lyrics were shallow and direct, and the songs sounded eh. Very underwhelming and boring. 2/5 stars.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 29 2025

This is not my genre of music but I can really appreciate the breadth in what Janelle has done an amazing job at creating many unique and distinct sounding songs in this album. Do I like the songs? Eh, not so much, but I do appreciate them. I did like Come Alive (War of the Roses) a decent amount. 3/5 stars.

Bland and generic, this was a really dull album. stay with me was alright, definitely the best song on the album, but still a dime a dozen. 1/5 stars.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 04 2025

It was good background music, some of the tracks were quite nice. Kathy's Waltz had nice flow and embodied the sound of the album well. It made great concentration music and I would definitely return to it (though maybe skip the first track since it's much higher energy than the rest). But would I listen to it on its own? Eh, probably not.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Feb 05 2025

Fine but not my cup of tea. It had some cool sounds in it, but eh, nothing I would keep. 1/5 stars.

Suicide by Suicide
Feb 06 2025

It's okay, a little quiet for my liking. needs to add some wind to its sails I think, but it's fine. 2/5 stars.

Feb 07 2025

Not my cup of tea, but fine. I wasn't expecting Ice Cube and I wasn't expecting them to rap. 2/5 stars.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 11 2025

This is a really unique album. It brings in a lot of instruments from beyond the genre to provide an interesting and dynamic sound. something something cowbells though. each song felt different and fresh. 4/5 stars.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Feb 12 2025

A fun like upper-vlass club sort of disco sound. Not my jam, but a fun deviation for 40 mins. Le freaks is fun obviously, but i loved the beat of chic freak and the rest of the album was pretty fun. 3/5 stars.

Rio by Duran Duran
Feb 13 2025

not bad, just kind of generic pop. rio wasn't bad and lonely in your nightmare is pretty catchy. for what it is, it's pretty good. it's just not somethig i need. 2.5/5 stars.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Feb 14 2025

Eh, whatever. Not the fusion of genres and elevation I was hoping for; fairly straight-forward. A couple of te songs were catchy enough (blue light and onanon) but nothing show-stopping. 1.5/5 stars.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Feb 17 2025

The music doesn't click for me which is a shame, but I really appreciate the technical side of things: the instruments sound good and the songs are interesting. the crispness of the drums, the sound of the guitar tracks, very nice indeed. 3/5 stars.

Feb 18 2025

I like the early 90s feeling of this album. it has a lot of the emotion from early rap with the beats of 90s rap which is really fun. i enjoyed this album quite a lot even if i wouldnt to download all of it. Bring da ruckus is good, so is da mystery of chessboxin and c.r.e.a.m. 3.5/5 stars.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 19 2025

this was a spectacularly boring album except for the last song: I'd Rather Be the Devil (Devil Got My Woman) which was pretty fun. but the rest... yikes. 1.5/5 stars.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 20 2025

Pretty boring and slow imo. just not my thing unfortunately. 1.5/5 stars.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 21 2025

Big fan. Engaging and interesting songs. the lyrics are, as always with Nick Cave, great, and the songs themselves are really enjoyable to listen to (especially the first half of the album). Starting off with Papa Won't Leae You Henry is a killer start to the album. Really enjoyable. 4.5/5 stars.

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 24 2025

Eh, fine. Not my thing, so kid of boring, but not the worst. 2/5 stars.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 25 2025

Boring as shit, to put it simply. It's just an old man talk-crooning slowly and blandly. Every song sounds the same and I couldn't wait for this album to be over. 1/5 stars.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 26 2025

Eh, boring. Not my jam. 1/5 stars.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Feb 27 2025

Kind of boring, not my thing. There was some varity between the songs but not enough for me to really enjoy this album. 1.5/5 stars.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Feb 28 2025

There's some measure of variety within this album, but not a massive amount. Gasoline Alley was decent but not really my jam. An okay album. 2/5 stars.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 06 2025

Hm, this is the epitome of the Radiohead sound. No particular song stood out to me in this wall of lilting fuzzy Radiohead. Not bad, just not something I need. None of the songs had any interest factors which stood out to me, so like 2/5 stars.

Achtung Baby by U2
Mar 07 2025

Not bad, an interesting album. Seems to have a lot of big hits on it. The Fly was cool as were a few other songs. A fine album just not overly for me I think. 2.5/5 stars.

Bossanova by Pixies
Mar 10 2025

There's a few really great songs on here. The album started off really strong with Cecilia Ann, and there were a couple of other songs that were really fun. I liked the energy of the album and the sound. 4/5 stars.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 11 2025

I love Walk on By and I didn't even realise that's what it was. Big win there, but felt very caught out by the 18 minute song I thought would be over and done with soon enough. It was not. 2.5/5 stars.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 12 2025

inoffensive and bland. 2/5 stars.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Mar 13 2025

An interesting album for sure. It seemed to have a cool mix of talent on it - Atticus Ross and Nick Cave. And going from It's Business as Usual to Miles is a hilarious contrast. I did like the former song, and a few of the others too. The variety and range on this album was really cool even if I didn't love every song on it. 3.5/5 stars.

Mar 14 2025

Not bad, I thought it was kind of generic and had a very consistent sound throughout the album the first listen, but I gave it a few more listens and there's some good songs in there for sure. I liked a bunch of songs on here - probably at a b-list level but there's gonna be a few a-lists in there. 4/5 stars.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Mar 18 2025

Actually really fantastic. I loved the sound and feel of this album so much. The guitar and drum work was amazing and each song was dynamic and interesting. Particularly loved Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, You Shook Me, and Dazed and Confused. 4.5/5 stars.

Mar 19 2025

Nightswimming is always a favourite of mine. This album has a good mix of songs with enough difference between them for a unique listening experience. Sweetness Follows is quite good, so is Drive and Try Not to Breathe. 3.5/5 stars.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 24 2025

I like El Condor Pasa (If I Could), but the rest isn't really my jam. Not bad, just not my thing. 2/5 stars.

Odelay by Beck
Mar 25 2025

Yeah, fine. Devils haircut was good enough to want to get permanently, but nothing else jumped out. I see what Beck is and I understand the niche he's filling, I just don't need much of it I think. 2.5/5 stars.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 26 2025

kind of just boring middle of the road. there is some interest factor in the variety of sound and instruments used but at the end of the day it's just not my thing. 1/5 stars

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Mar 27 2025

Some good ol' 90s rap. Can't go too wrong with this, always love the piano and more classical instruments contrasting with the rapping. Nothing in here I want but I respect it. 2.5/5 stars.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 28 2025

Loved the sound, not all were hits but there was enough in there that I really enjoyed. The kind of nasally singing voice was a vibe and the songs were varied enough to provide good variety. Though with an album this long, you'd hope so lol. 3.5/5 stars.

Kind of boring actually. I feel like there's better work from David Bowie that isn't this middle-of-the-road boring generic music. The best song on here was Five Years - it built up nicely, but still a B-list song. Having listened to this did help me find some other stuff which was better - Tin Machine amongst them. 2/5 stars.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Apr 01 2025

I liked the guitar at the end of To Live is To Die and I quite liked the sound of Eye of the Beholder. Not a bad album, just don't really need the rest I think. Some of the songs had some good driving sounds, but how much will that hold up on a casual listen? 2.5/5 stars.

Apr 02 2025

It was oddly preachy about being black in a really surface-level and cringy way? Very much felt like a thirteen year old's school project of uplifting cultures rather than anything meaningful or touching. Which is a shame because some of the songs were quite cool in their sound. I loved the drums in Bow and Wildfires was pretty good too. Don't Shoot Guns Down and a few other songs brought some interesting sounds together, I just hated the cringy reinforcements. Like genuinely painful to listen to and I definitely skipped a few songs which I try hard not to do during these reviews. 2/5 stars.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 03 2025

Inoffensive and catchy enough. Nothing bad, nothing great. Happy to listen to this as background music but probably wouldn't want to intentionally listen to this. 2.5/5 stars.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Apr 04 2025

Originally I thought this would be more diverse and interest than it turned out to be. Shame. Memory Boy is pretty catchy, but the album is pretty same-samey and generic. I swear there's actual duplicate songs in this. 2/5 stars.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 17 2025

I quite liked this album. I absolutely love Girl Loves Me, and Black Star was also really good, and so is Dollar Days. This is a dynamic and varied album that is an absolute delight to listen to and I enjoyed myself a lot with this one.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
May 01 2025

Bland and boring, a struggle to listen to. 1/5 stars,

Sail Away by Randy Newman
May 02 2025

One cannot underestimate just how awful and terrible this album was. This was my first do not finish and I think I skipped half of the songs I did listen to. american (insult) 0/5 stars. gross.

Synchronicity by The Police
May 05 2025

This was a fantastic album. Each song was vibrant and unique and really enjoyable. The diversity in sound within the album (going from Mother to Miss Gradenko - hell yeah), but also the quality of what has been put together was fantastic. IMO the weakest song was Every Breath You Take - I grabbed all songs except that one. I really like Synchroncity I and Mother, and Murder By Numbers is really catchy. 4.5/5 stars.

Different Class by Pulp
May 06 2025

Eh it's fine. It feels like a lot of the albums I've listened to so far as part of this whole thing. Solidly fine and generic. 2.5/5 stars.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 07 2025

I like the guy's voice a lot it has a nice nasally and kinda weak sound, like a thread pulled tight. Big fan. Otherwise a generic and boring album, not my thing. 2/5 stars.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
May 08 2025

This isn't my jam, but I appreciate it. It's dynamic, well-made and interesting. 2/5 stars.

May 09 2025

Very, very good. Dynamic album with lots of different sounds and distinct songs. The techno sounds work well with the guitar work (which was fantastic this album), and the Muse singing style. Obsessed obsessed obsessed with the end of Map of the Problematique, definitely my favourite 45 seconds of the whole album. Did I love every song on the album? No, but there was enough in there for me to really enjoy myself. 4/5 stars.

Raw Power by The Stooges
May 12 2025

Solidly whatever. just not my jam. 2/5 stars.

May 13 2025

I vibe with this. An OG for sure. Definitely worth listening to. The songs have nice variety in the instruments and the rapping. Do I love all of it? Nah, but I'd recommend people to listen to it. Straight Outta Compton and Fuck Tha Police are tried and true for sure. 3/5 stars.

Horses by Patti Smith
May 14 2025

Big fan of this album, Patti's voice was really good, and the songs were catchy and enjoyable to listen to. The music was varied and well-crafted, and each song stood alone. The songs also didn't feel particularly dated for a 70s album. Land: Horses etc was a really good song. 4/5 stars.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 15 2025

Eh, kind of same-ish. Legally obliged to like Ace of Spades and Love Me Like a Reptile, but every song felt the same. So you really just need the one or two of them. Certainly not 27 of them. 2.5/5 stars.

May 16 2025

Box Cars was a really good song but I hated every other song so much. Genuinely suffered through this album. Not a fan at all. 1/5 stars.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 19 2025

The flow of this album was absolutely fantastic. The 'refrains' between songs and the flow from each song to the next made this an amazing listening experience. Each song was interesting and unique, and an absolute delight to listen to. I love every song in this album and would insist on people listening to it in order - will def be checking out more of Michael's stuff. 5/5 stars.

May 20 2025

I haven't really listened to Arctic Monkeys before, but this was not what I expected. I liked the accents so much, down with American accents lol. The guitar work was nice, as was the drums. There was a good use of like idk swells and lulls. I really like The View From the Afternoon. 3.5/5 stars.

Being There by Wilco
May 21 2025

The first minute of the first song - Misunderstood - was absolutely amazing. It was dynamic and interesting, and then it kinda deflated. The rest of the song was alright, and then the rest of the album was another whatever album for me sadly. 2/5 stars.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
May 22 2025

Bleh, boring and not something I enjoyed listening to at all. 1/5 stars.

Kenya by Machito
May 23 2025

Cool music, I enjoyed listening to this. Not something I would want to download and listen to again, but I enjoyed it. Interesting sound. 2.5/5 stars.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 26 2025

Decent, not my thing. A little spineless to be honest, like it lacked some semblance of any grit or strength. The best we got was the final song (In the Backseat). There's been better by Arcade Fire that's for sure, but it might just be hard to measure up to the Elbow album which is also in the generated lists and the Arcade Fire song Afterlife. 2.5/5 stars

The Blueprint by JAY Z
May 29 2025

I thought Jay Z did pop.... I guess he just does middle of the road rap. It's not offensive or particularly crappy, it's just whatever. No special interest factor to his songs sadly. 2/5 stars.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
May 30 2025

It's fun and catchy and fluffy country music. It's not my thing, but it's enjoyable enough. I did quite enjoy We Do What We Can. 2/5 stars.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jun 02 2025

Quite the lively sound for a set of songs so bland. 2/5 stars.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jun 03 2025

Not bad - it felt almost muddy though? Every sound seemed to exist on the same layer or within the same similar range so there wasn't the clarity of sound that I would have liked to hear. I liked Another Star though. 2/5 stars.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 04 2025

An enjoyable album, don't need most of the songs in this album, but it's a fun one to just listen to. No need to skip any songs and don't mind listening a couple of times. Some good variety between the songs while still sounding distinctly Beastie Boys. 3/5 stars.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jun 05 2025

A shame. I've always loved In Every Dream Home a Heartache and I thought they might have some similarly interesting music. Do the Strand is fun, but not at the same level of woah. 2/5 stars.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jun 06 2025

Not a fan. It's fine but really just not my style. 1/5 stars.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jun 10 2025

Not my jam, but an interesting album. Some good variety in the songs - Monolith in particular had some nice contrast in the singing. Decent. 2.5/5 stars.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 11 2025

I really enjoyed this - it was fine and dynamic with some really interesting sounds - the first song in particular One More Chance had some really interesting sounds in it. Rent was a pretty funny song too. An enjoyable album when you're in the mood for some 80s synth pop. 4/5 stars.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jun 12 2025

Kinda cool but not my thing at all. 1/5 stars.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

Unbelievably bland, I hated this. 1/5 stars.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jun 16 2025

A cool album, I quite liked Perfect Day, and Take a Walk on the Wild Side has a really nice vibe. This album has a lot of variety and I enjoyed listening to it. I'd definitely revisit this later. 2.5/5 stars.

Tommy by The Who
Jun 17 2025

I do quite like Christmas and there were quite a few other enjoyable songs in this album. Good background music for sure, and nowhere near as dated as I thought it would be. 3/5 stars.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jun 18 2025

Not my jam but I do like What's Love Got to do with It, as everyone does. 2.5/5 stars.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jun 19 2025

Not my thing. 1/5 stars.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 23 2025

An interesting listen - I had always assumed his biggest songs were the ones parodied by Weird Al, so it was definitely weird seeing that Billie Jean is his most played song on spotify. A good song though. 2.5/5 stars.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jun 24 2025

Driving sound and some interesting musical elements, but very much a sound of its time - do I need that much more of it? Metal Gods was cool. 2.5/5 stars.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 25 2025

Having only heard Hey Ya this is definitely not what I was expecting. It's fine but nothing special. I kinda like the "break!" throughout the album. 2/5 stars.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 26 2025

I really liked So Easy, and this album has encouraged me to go off and listen to the rest of this artist's work, so a big win in my books. The rest of the album was okay, not worth downloading but a fan change of pace and nice sound. 3/5 stars.

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 27 2025

Eh, nothing special. Pretty same-same, nothing to set it apart from the rest of the rappers of this time in sound or lyrics. 2/5 stars.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jun 30 2025

Not my thing, but I appreciate it. 2/5 stars.

Blur by Blur
Jul 01 2025

Not bad, I don't need it all. Unfortunately I think I background musiced this album and didn't pay proper attention, but yeah. 2.5/5 stars.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jul 02 2025

Woah this was a cool album. There were some really interesting sounds on here! Relight the Flame felt kind of ska, and Erzulie was a lot more traditional. Really varied and cool. 4.5/5 stars.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jul 03 2025

Eh just kind of boring to be honest. Alright background music, but nothing special. 2/5 stars.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jul 04 2025

It was fine but nothing special. It did nothing particularly of note. Inoffensive but I didn't need to listen to this. 2/5 stars.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jul 07 2025

If I was from a small town in America, gay, and currently a teenager I would love this. I'm none of these things. The best songs were the ones which had a stronger choir presence. Not the worst, just kind of same-ish. There's two whole songs on this album. Where's the variety in a 22 song album? Also so American... boring. 2/5 stars.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 08 2025

Not bad. It's fun for sure and it's something different, but how much of this do I need? No Woman No Cry obviously. I really liked the ending of Them Belly Full (But We Hungry), but yeah. 2.5/5 stars.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 09 2025

Big fan of the one singular song they have on this album. Everything else is just that song again. Okay, maybe a bit harsh - there's two songs on here. Not bad, but not the most amazing either. 2/5 stars.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jul 10 2025

Big fan of The Beautiful People - an OG for me. But the rest of the album is okay. Marilyn Manson has a sound... and there's some variety but only enough for having maybe five or so of his songs. I don't know if the other four were in this album. Still enjoyed listening to it though. 3/5 stars.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jul 11 2025

Some nice variety but not my jam. 2/5 stars.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 14 2025

Cool, I liked one of the middle tracks and the one near the end with the whistling, but not enough to want. Decent though. 2.5/5 stars.

London Calling by The Clash
Jul 15 2025

Fun. Started off strong with London Calling. Don't think I need more of The Clash from this album at this point. Might give them a proper listen to later though. 2.5/5 stars.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jul 16 2025

A fun album. Not something I need but I enjoyed it. 3/5 stars.

Wild Gift by X
Jul 17 2025

This is a fun album. Really catchy. I don't know how much of these guys I need but it would be worth a check later I think. I like We're Desperate and Adult Books. 3/5 stars.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jul 18 2025

This is a fun album, that nice blend of pop and a more techno jazz sound. Not a-list material but there's plenty in there to like - certainly a few songs at least for the b-list. 3/5 stars.

Jul 21 2025

A nice smooth and slow album, but the bad audio recording really got to me. The random wind-like noises and distortion were really distracting and annoying. 2/5 stars.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 22 2025

Love me some Jackie Jormp-Jomp. In all seriousness I actually quite enjoyed this album, it was some nice country-pop fun. Give that woman another cigarette y'know? Move Over, Cry Baby, and My Baby were probably my favourites. 4/5 stars.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jul 23 2025

Not my thing, it's fine but just kind of generic. 2/5 stars.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Interesting sound, not what I expected but it also makes sense. Nothing stand out. 2/5 stars.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jul 25 2025

The songs are kind of same-ish in terms of their sound but I really enjoyed this album. The songs had a lot of energy and were fun, the women's vocals flowed well together and it filled a niche. Different to their one song I had prior to this (the future is here?) and still strange to think of the woman from portlandia. anyway... 4.5/5 stars.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jul 28 2025

Dull. 1/5 stars.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jul 29 2025

It's Beastie Boys so every song sounds the same. This album actually had a softer sound to the usual Beastie Boys, but at the end of the day all 53 mins of this album felt like one single sound. Boring. 2/5 stars.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jul 30 2025

Solidly fine. Fun but nothing special. 2/5 stars.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Aug 01 2025

Have You Seen Her Face and CTA -102 are fun, but nothing I really need. 2/5 stars.

Aug 05 2025

I fought for my life during this. This is my second Bob Dylan this week and I think this guy just doesn't work for me. 1/5 stars.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Aug 06 2025

I quite like Made of Stone and Elizabeth My Dear. There's a decently large amount of variety in this album, but some of the songs can be a bit slow and dull. Still enjoyable on the whole, with some interesting sounds - especially in the guitar sphere. 3.5/5 stars.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 07 2025

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this as much as I did, but it was lively and interesting and new. Big fan! 4.5/5 stars.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Aug 08 2025

The context behind this album is interesting, but the album itself is solidly fine. I listened to it in its entirety and I don't ever need to do it again. 2/5 stars.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Aug 11 2025

I actually really love this - on the first listen I was like sure whatever, but now I've been looping it for days now. Big fan. Your Protector and Blue Ridge Mountains are probably my favourites, but I'm grabbing the whole lot. They're kind Mumford & Sons but more Christian. I vibe. Will check them out. 5/5 stars.

Boston by Boston
Aug 12 2025

It's solidly fine, it's like every other 70s rock band. More Than A Feeling is catchy enough. 2/5 stars.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Aug 13 2025

An interesting album - there was some nice like muggy spring day pop and some cool stuff that reminded me a bit of fatboy slim. I liked Only Love Can Break Your Heart and Like The Swallow. 3/5 stars.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 14 2025

Solidly fine. Generic 90s rap, nothing to set it apart from everything else in that time. 2/5 stars.

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 18 2025

Heart-shaped box reigns supreme. TBH I don't really need the rest of this album, like it's fine but nothing super wowing. Dumb is kind of cool but nothing I'm super obsessed with. 2.5/5 stars.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Aug 19 2025

Not my thing. Just a bit boring unfortunately. 1/5 stars.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 20 2025

Like it's fun, but I'm not exactly itching to listen to it. Nor am I going to go back. Hong Kong Mambo is pretty good, a little heavy on the marimbas but interesting. 2/5 stars.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Aug 22 2025

Some okay stuff on here and some really cool stuff too. Lost Woman was high energy and catchy, Hot House of Omagarashid had some really interesting sides and a nice driving beat, and the guitar (?) in Over, Under, Sideways, Down (mono version) was really awesome. 2.5/5 stars.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Aug 25 2025

Long Tall Sally is pretty catchy, but this album just ain't my jam unfortunately. It's cool but yeah. 2/5 stars.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Aug 26 2025

Kind of generic and boring. The guitar in Straight Shooter is good, but it's just kind of mid-level pop. 1/5 stars.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Aug 28 2025

She's got a very beautiful voice, it's very smooth and clear. Not my genre but really cool. Didn't realise she was the potato potato chick. 2/5 stars.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Sep 01 2025

Like it's cool but just not my thing. IDK. Always big respect for Sweet Child o' Mine - that's always a really great song. 1.5/5 stars.

The Clash by The Clash
Sep 02 2025

A fun album, nothing I really need in my playlists, but one I enjoyed listening to nonetheless. 2.5/5 stars.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Sep 03 2025

I didn't like this at all. Welcome to New York was an actively bad song. How You Get the Girl is the only song I think I could have listened to all the way through. The issue isn't that they're bad songs, they're just not good songs. They have nice build ups that crescendo into nothingness. Nothing burger maxing. They're boring, middle-of-the-road pop. 1/5 stars.

Sep 04 2025

It's an interesting album which I quite enjoyed. It's not something I'd often reach to due to the ambient nature of it, but I did enjoy listening to it a lot as background noise and occasionally as focused listening. I quite liked Xtal, Pulsewidth, I, Heliosphan, Schottkey 7th Para, and Hedphelym. Schottkey 7th Para and Hedphelym were probably my favourites. For somewhat lowkey ambient noise there's a lot going on in the songs which I liked. 3.5/5 stars.

1999 by Prince
Sep 05 2025

This wasn't what I expected at all, but it was fantastic! The songs were interesting, varied, and engaging. A very good listen. DMSR, Automatic, and All the Critics Love U in New York were my personal favourites. This is an album of incredibly long songs which don't feel long. Excellent. 4/5 stars.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Sep 08 2025

Not bad actually. I didn't go in with super high expectations, but I had a fun time. Nothing that wowed me but I did quite enjoy Rockin' Around (with you). 2.5/5 stars.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Sep 09 2025

It's fun if not necessarily something I need to listen to again. Someone please explain why Wars of Armageddon needed the fart sounds? Unpleasant end to the album. Maggot Brain is super sick and I like the vibes but I don't know that I'd need to listen to it again. 2/5 stars.

Music by Madonna
Sep 10 2025

Not bad. Amazing was pretty decent and I quite enjoyed Paradise (Not for Me). The rest varied from okay but not my thing to eh, I don't particularly like this song. 2.5/5 stars.

Dummy by Portishead
Sep 12 2025

One of my favourite albums of all time. It's nice and chill and interesting, always a nice listen. I don't have all of the songs already but I'm still happy listening to even the ones I don't have liked on Spotify. It's a very nice trip-hop album. It's also one of my go-to jogging albums so I might be a little biased. I especially like Roads - it's definitely one of my favourite songs of all time. 5/5 stars.

Diamond Life by Sade
Sep 15 2025

Smooth Operator is OG, and this is a nice, chill, easy-listening album. She has an amazing voice, but this just isn't my type of music unfortunately. 2/5 stars.

Sep 16 2025

It's alright, he has a really good energy and I enjoyed his voice but it's not my type of music. 2/5 stars.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Sep 17 2025

Worth a listen and it has a certain feel to it which is quite nice. Not something I need, but I enjoyed listening to it. 2/5 stars.

Pump by Aerosmith
Sep 18 2025

Not bad, some of the songs were quite good and had a good vibe to them. I liked Janie's Got a Gun. The rest were okay. 3/5 stars.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Sep 19 2025

Just kind of slow and boring. 1/5 stars.

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 22 2025

Fine, nothing special. I was quite bored listening to this, which is a shame because they have some really good songs. 2/5 stars.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Sep 23 2025

Kind of boring TBH. Solidly fine. 2/5 stars.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 10 2025

This is a really interesting album. The lyric writing is okay for the most part and the lyrics are fine, but the music itself is really interesting. Like super cool. I've always loved Sat In Your Lap - it's one of my favourite songs by Kate. There's a few other songs which are quite good: Pull Out the Pin and All the Love are quite nice. I don't need all of the songs from this album, but it was really cool to listen to yo. 4/5 stars.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 11 2025

I found this album really boring to be honest, I'd get halfway through a song and be like "yeah, I've given it a crack I can move on now" over and over for the whole album. Dull. Generic. 1/5 stars.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Nov 12 2025

This was quite a cool album actually, very interesting. I enjoyed listening to this. Oh Lord, Give us Money, Persian Love and Hollywood symphony stood out to me most on my first listen, but the first song actually has a lot to it. I don't know whether I'd want any of these songs in my database, but I did enjoy the experience of this album. I could be pushed on the latter three songs though. 4/5 stars.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 14 2025

Middle of the road, it's fine but nothing special. 2/5 stars

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Nov 17 2025

Sure, fine. Boring. 2/5 stars.

Nov 18 2025

I thought this album would be really boring based off the first two songs of it. The next thre were icnredibly cool in that boring prog rock way but they were super interesting too. I vibed supremely with epitaph, moonchild, the court of the crimson king, and the melody in 21st century schizoid man was very good. 4/5 stars.

1984 by Van Halen
Nov 19 2025

I didn't realise Van Halen was so poppy LOL. I'd only ever really listened to Hot for Teacher and assumed they were glam rock. I've heard Jump before and it's fine, and so are the rest of the songs. 2/5 stars.

Nov 20 2025

Very serene and calming. I enjoyed listening to it as background noise, I don't think I'd ever sit down and just listen to it but I would revisit if I need to do something else and have a bit more noise involved. 3/5 stars.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Nov 21 2025

Kinda boring to be honest. Like it's fine, but I think it would have been nice with a bit more depth. 1/5 stars.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 24 2025

Generic middle of the road rock. Dull. Nothing special. 1/5 stars.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 25 2025

Welcome to the Machine is a very interesting song with some interesting instrument choices. Very cool. On the whole, it's not the most thrilling album, but it's certainly an interesting one. 3/5 stars.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Nov 26 2025

Dull and generic. Not a very enjoyable album, kind of slow and dragging. 1/5 stars.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 27 2025

So boring. Just generic and bleh. 1/5 stars.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Nov 28 2025

Whatever. It's okay but kind of generic and boring. A few of the executions missed for me too - there was one song where there was talking in the background but it had me wondering if something was playing in a different tab, not that there was talking in the song. 1/5 stars.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Dec 01 2025

Just not my thing - shit's got me sleepy at my desk ): 1/5 stars.

Who's Next by The Who
Dec 02 2025

Behind Blue Eyes is pretty iconic and the I appreciate Won't Get Fooled Again, but this is not an album for me.Just kind of boring generic rock. 2/5 stars.

Dec 03 2025

Hm, it's fine. There's nothing that massively jumps out to me. It's got Bohemian Rhapsody which is a cool song and all but nothing that I'm overly obsessed with. 2/5 stars.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Dec 04 2025

This is so boring. Just an absolute slog to get through. 1/5 stars.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Dec 05 2025

This was quite cool, nothing astonishingly unique, but I did enjoy it. I might check out the rest of her stuff. I quite liked Lights On. 3/5 stars.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Dec 08 2025

Not a bad album, less Christian than the rest of their stuff. I was previously an enjoyer of Somebody Told me and All These Things That I've Done, but Jenny was a Friend Of Mine was a new one which I enjoyed. I think the progression of this album was really good and I enjoyed that flow. 2.5/5 stars.

Marquee Moon by Television
Dec 09 2025

Marquee Moon has some nice guitarwork in it, but the rest of the song makes it so that I don't really feel the need to keep it. It's generic dull rock. Who cares? 2/5 stars.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Dec 10 2025

A little dull TBH, but not bad. The penultimate track was cool, and I enjoyed the sampling a lot. I wish there was more of it. 2/5 stars.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Dec 11 2025

Not bad, there was some cool stuff in here, but nothing that actually appeals to my tastes.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Dec 12 2025

This was a lot more enjoyable than I thought it was going to be. A lot higher energy. It' s not bad at all. 3/5 stars.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 15 2025

Musically a great album, the guitar work in this was fantastic. I especially loved 1983 (A Merman I should Turn to Be) and Voodoo Chile. The rest of the album is also pretty good, there was only a few songs which I didn't bother downloading. The rest are probably solid B lists, but I would enjoy revisiting this album. A biased 4/5 and an unbiased 5/5.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Dec 16 2025

Not what I remember Supertramp to sound like. I liked the sound of a few of the songs: Rudy was an interesting and kind of funk-y song, and Crime of the Century was pretty good too, I really liked the piano. School and If Everyone was Listening also weren't bad. Listening to Bloody Well Right was just weird, because their music sounds incredibly American and now I know that they're not. sooo weird. 3/5 stars.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jan 23 2026

This was surprisingly good. I really liked the guitar work and the layering of instruments. Lam Tooro and Djam Leelii are my favourites on the album, but some of the others are also pretty good.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jun 02 2026

Generic middle of the road rock. Kind of boring, nothing special. I did like Waitin' for the Bus, and have added it to my playlist; it had cool guitar work and a nice vibe. 2/5 stars.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jun 03 2026

I literally just got Djam Leelii lol. In any case, this album wasn't quite as interesting as Djam Leelii, and if I was only going to pick one I'd pick the other. This one was fine, just a little boring. 2/5 stars.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jun 04 2026

Dull and boring. 1/5 stars.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jun 05 2026

Karma Chameleon is iconic, but the rest doesn't do it for me. Romance Revisited isn't bad.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jun 08 2026

It's alright. He has a nice voice and the music isn't bad, but nothing really jumps out at me. I skipped a bunch of the songs from the first half of the album because I just didn't like them. Instinct Blues is quite good though and I'll get that. 1/5 stars.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jun 09 2026

This is pretty cool actually. I think the guitar in this album is really good. It's not usually something that stands out to me, but I thought it really popped in this. I think I liked Battery best in the album, but it was pretty good on the whole. Very loopable but also very similar so the tracks do blend into each other. 4/5 stars.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jun 10 2026

Just kind of a discordant album, the flow between tracks was not there at all. The songs were alright and the singing was a bit rough for my liking. There's potential if it hadn't been such a compilation of short tracks. 1/5 stars.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jun 11 2026

Not bad, there's some good variety in the sounds of the songs within the album. They vary from kind of cool to like boring Christian vibed whateverness. I liked How Does it Feel, I thought the guitar plucking and the reverbrations were really cool. Suicide was also cool if you like guitars. 2/5 stars.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jun 12 2026

A really fun and interesting album. I quite enjoyed this one. I think I saved maybe half of the songs from this album to my playlist. It has a nice varied sound within the album, and has a nice, light touch with the instruments when supporting the singing. Great voice too. 4.5/5 stars.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jun 15 2026

A lot better than I thought it would be. Definitely didn't age that much. I liked their more bluesy songs a lot more than the rock ones (e.g. Maggie M'Gill) but the rock ones weren't bad. Definitely a fun listen, easily loopable. Took four songs from this album. 4/5 stars.

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 16 2026

Helter Skelter was fun, and Revolution 9 was interesting, but the rest of the album was really boring. It's exactly what I thought Beatles would be. Eh. 2/5 stars.

The La's by The La's
Jun 17 2026

Just kind of boneless TBH. Not my jam, just a bit boring. Ended up becoming background music pretty quickly, and nothing ever jumped out to me. 2/5 stars.
