Play by Moby
Jan 13 2025

Didn’t mind this and it has some classic highs but it also has a lot of filler.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 14 2025

Thought it was an ok listen overall, but not great. The standout tracks for me were That Joke Isn’t Funny Anymore and Barbarism Begins at Home. I enjoyed the musical side of the album, especially Johnny Marr’s guitar sound. That said, some of the tracks felt a bit repetitive, and I found myself zoning out of Morrissey’s lyrics more often than I expected. While there are highlights, the album didn’t fully hold my attention throughout.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 15 2025

Has some great moments, like ‘Little Wing’ and ‘If 6 Was 9,’ but it didn’t hit the same highs as other Hendrix albums I’ve heard. The creativity and talent are clear, but a few tracks didn’t stand out as much. It’s a good album, just not my favourite.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jan 16 2025

Enjoyed its vibe. The opener and Sultans of Swing really stood out. The sound of the band is really distinctive and warm but some songs feel a little boring.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 17 2025

Absolutely loved this. My favourites were Pale Blue Eyes, Jesus, After Hours and the best of them all The Murder Mystery, this song just blows me away every time.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 18 2025

Really didn’t get on with this album. It’s felt relentlessly samey and far too long. Something about the production of the vocals and drums left me cold. The music sounds like some 80’s metal and the vocals are grungy but annoying and I found this really jarring.

Third by Soft Machine
Jan 19 2025

Second half of Facelift is good, enjoy the more Jazz style. First half a little dull. Out-Bloody-Rageous is nice, again because of its more jazz sound. The vocals are atrocious

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Jan 20 2025

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. Nice summery vibe to it.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 21 2025

Enjoyed it but it felt like it didn’t capture my attention on both listens. Duncan & Me & Julio are great song though.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jan 22 2025

Found the second half of the album better than the first but it’s still not a great album. Don’t think I’ll listen to this ever again.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jan 23 2025

Really like this. Love the continuity between the songs and a real feeling of it being one piece

Sulk by The Associates
Jan 24 2025

Enjoyed this. Some catchy songs along with a fair bit of meh. Doubt I’ll go back to it but glad I’ve heard it

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jan 27 2025

Enjoyed this. Had a really nice warm feel to it and her voice is lovely

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 28 2025

Enjoyed this at lot, the second half feels stronger than the first. Likes the atmosphere created by the short moody tracks.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jan 30 2025

Couldn’t really get in to this, felt a bit flat and boring

Moon Safari by Air
Feb 01 2025

I really enjoyed it. The first half felt a little stronger than the second, but overall, it’s great. I was initially worried it might feel dated, but it has aged really well.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Feb 03 2025

Really didn’t enjoy this. Really bland and flat.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 04 2025

Enjoyable but a little samey

Feb 05 2025

Absolutely brilliant, probably the best live album ever. I found it quite moving that it actually made me a bit emotional while listening. Truly unforgettable

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 06 2025

Really loved this and have done for a long time. The only thing I can maybe fault it on is that it’s maybe a bit long

Boston by Boston
Feb 07 2025

Liked this a lot and can see myself listening to it a lot

Repeater by Fugazi
Feb 09 2025

Really liked it

Back In Black by AC/DC
Feb 11 2025

Every song has pretty much the same riff and the singers voice is grating over a full album. Some fun songs but not a great album

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Feb 14 2025

Decent listen, not sure I’d go back to it. A bit too theatrical for my taste

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 15 2025

One of my favourites, love this so much

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 16 2025

Got a real nostalgia rush from listening to this for the first time in years. It’s a good album but I don’t think I’ll go back to it for a long while

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 17 2025

Pretty good but I don’t think I’ll listen again

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 19 2025

Really enjoyed this more than I have in the past, not a classic Radiohead album but still great. 2+2=5, There, There and A Wolf At the door area all time great Radiohead songs

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 20 2025

Found this a bit of a struggle to get through as it kept blending into background music. It’s all nice with some great lyrics but didn’t grab me

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 21 2025

Very one paced and boring. The lyrics are really something

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Feb 23 2025

Really enjoyed this

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Feb 26 2025

A really beautiful album with some stunning songs

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Feb 27 2025

Nice enough but didn’t really grab me, some really lovely vocals

Real Life by Magazine
Feb 28 2025

Really enjoyed this

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 01 2025

Brilliant album, a real pop masterpiece

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 02 2025

Really enjoyed this. I don’t think I’ve ever listened to one of their albums in full. The lyrics are really nice, standouts are Save the Life of my Child, America, Fakin It & Mrs Robinson

Skylarking by XTC
Mar 03 2025

Not for me. Something about this kind of sophisticated guitar pop sound just doesn’t work for me

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 04 2025

Some real classic songs on here but for some reason it fell a bit flat. Maybe it’s because I’ve heard a lot of these songs before. I can tell it’s a good album I just don’t think I’ll go back to it

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Mar 05 2025

Enjoyed this but it’s a bit long

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Mar 06 2025

Really solid start that trails off. Still enjoyed it a lot but might be another 10 years until I listen to the whole album again

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Mar 07 2025

Not bad but not great. Kind of blended into the background

Pornography by The Cure
Mar 09 2025

Enjoyed this, liked the more raw, darker sound

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 13 2025

This was alright but nothing outstanding

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Mar 17 2025

Really liked this, will definitely be returning to it

Tommy by The Who
Mar 18 2025

Awful

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 20 2025
Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 24 2025
Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Mar 26 2025

Found this blended into background music and was quite forgettable. I don’t think I’ll be listening again

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 28 2025

Nice album and clearly a talented musician but the songs didn’t grab me and I doubt I’ll return to it

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 01 2025
Be by Common
Apr 03 2025
Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 05 2025

Really enjoyed this. You can call me Al probably my least favourite on it. Will definitely listen again

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Apr 06 2025

Really enjoyed this. You can call me Al probably my least favourite on it. Will definitely listen again

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
