Popular Reviews

Phrenology by The Roots

Some songs were a bit too experimental but most were great - the seed (2.0) was definitely my favourite and thirsty! is a great party and hype song.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Feb 11 2025

Run run run was almost a verge into country music. interesting structure with Nico being a sort of reprieve from the most rock elements.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 12 2025
Feb 18 2025

I really didn't want to listen to this... I decided to listen to slim shady and leave it at that.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Feb 19 2025

4.5 - love morrissey. definitely expanded beyond the smiths and has a much stronger beat with the normal morrissey lyrics.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Feb 20 2025

Way too long. 1st half was much better than the 2nd.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Feb 24 2025
25 by Adele
Feb 25 2025
Debut by Björk
Feb 26 2025
Mar 04 2025

It feels of its era. I can imagine people in the 60s dancing to this. I just don't think it would be my favourite genre of the era.

Protection by Massive Attack
Mar 10 2025

pretty good, similar to cibo matto

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Mar 11 2025

4 Tightrope stands up. Come Alive (War of the Roses) is fantastic and surprising. Make the bus is also really good. 57821 - mix of indie and folk.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Mar 12 2025

3.5 - some good songs but I don't think it is a revolutionary album or piece of art.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 13 2025
Phrenology by The Roots
Mar 14 2025

Some songs were a bit too experimental but most were great - the seed (2.0) was definitely my favourite and thirsty! is a great party and hype song.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 17 2025

Nice and short compared to a lot of the other albums. 40 minutes is really the perfect amount for an album.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Mar 18 2025

What's not to like! Accidentally listened to the birth of blue first...

Van Halen by Van Halen
Mar 24 2025

3.5 not bad but I don't know if it's super inventive.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 03 2025
Who's Next by The Who
Apr 10 2025

Obviously a good album. But it is just so long with all the different versions of the songs.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 15 2025

Doesn't feel as developed as his later albums but still very beautiful. You can definitely tell it is from the 80s. Feels very Sting. Really in between a 3 and 4 (like 3.75).

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Apr 16 2025

Not bad but I wouldn't listen to it again. The 2nd half was hard to get through.

The Band by The Band
Apr 21 2025

It's fine... Joan Baez has much better versions of a lot of these songs.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Apr 23 2025

I liked it, especially birds and ships with Natalie Merchant. For people who like folk music.

Lost Souls by Doves
Apr 24 2025

Loved this album!

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jun 26 2025

I liked it but it didn't go hard enough for me. I think it felt like a sanitised version. But saying that the song Marcus Garvey is one of his top listened songs for a reason.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 27 2025

Crystal days - excellent, a really easy listen. I think my favourite of the album. Silver - a very good opener. The yo yo man - feels like if the smiths did alternative ethereal country. The Killing Moon - there is a grandness here. 3.75/5

Sea Change by Beck
Jun 30 2025

Not really my vibe. Some songs are passable I guess. It was hard to sit through it. Too long - could have been a 40 min album.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jul 02 2025

Very easy listening but not my favourite. I liked monkey man and had never heard it before. 3.5

Jul 03 2025

It's been a while since I listened to it and I think it still holds up. But I don't know if it is effortlessly relistenable. For that reason 4/5.

Illmatic by Nas
Jul 04 2025

Perfect length for an album. No notes.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Jul 09 2025

Some interesting songs but not really my vibe. I didn't like quality seconds. I can see the merit in are we here as a conceptual idea and "art" but it isn't good music.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 10 2025

I enjoyed it, super easy to work with and fades into the background perfectly.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jul 15 2025

I don't know, I'm not a massive fan of this. I really like some songs from Lorde's solar power album. This one feels so weepy.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Aug 01 2025

I loveeeee this album. I'm so happy it made it on to the 1001 albums. Taking off a point because it is a bit too long and from borderline, the album peters out. 4/5

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 04 2025

I liked this album. Some duds - everything means nothing to me & in the lost and found. Both of which I thought were quite unsettling. 3/5

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Aug 19 2025

Not my favourite Zeppelin album. I liked immigrant song, out on the tiles, tangerine and that's the way. I think the second half was much better or at least what I felt like more.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Aug 28 2025

Not the best Kate Bush album but still some interesting songs. I hope this isn't the only Kate Bush album on this because that would be a shame.

2112 by Rush
Oct 21 2025
Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Oct 22 2025

I think this is a good album but not revolutionary.

Oct 27 2025

Just so long so deducting marks. the continuation of the 'speakerboxxx' theme throughout that part of the album was great.

Slayed? by Slade
Oct 31 2025

Look at last nite 5/5 I liked the album (not the 1st two songs) but I think T.Rex does glam rock better.
