Popular Reviews

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman

Why did he open it with that

The College Dropout by Kanye West

It's insane how different this is to so much of the other hip hop at the time, chipmunk soul will always have a very special place in my heart

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

Maybe its because I love Arcade Fire, but I really enjoyed this! Super cool album. Very reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen too

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

I love dancing! Dance music is fun and cool :)

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 12 2025

Yea man Paul Simon the GOAT good shout from whoever sent him to Africa

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 18 2025

Incomparable vocalist RIP

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 19 2025

The speaking parts were pretty funny tbh

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 20 2025

Heard this one too recently, really good example of plunderphonics but significantly weaker than DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing'. Also didn't seem to click with me as much as it appears to with many other people.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Mar 24 2025

The hits are good, rest of the album is pretty boring by comparison tho

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Mar 25 2025

Enjoyed this far more than I expected to, may be because of the hipster glasses I'm wearing tho

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 27 2025

Waits has a very incomparable voice. Banging album

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Mar 28 2025

Never really got the hype for Morrisey tbh, his solo stuff is absurdly less interesting than anything the Smiths have put out, and I'm not a particularly big Smiths fan in the first place

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 31 2025

Not really a soppy guy, this is good tho

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 02 2025

Yea man all time classic yeah man this is the dream aww yeah

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Apr 03 2025

I love this kinda 90s dance pop

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Apr 04 2025

Very good band, hard to imagine listening to something like this when good music had only just been invented

xx by The xx
Apr 08 2025

This is really lame unfortunately, real background music.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 09 2025

My dad absolutely hates Duran Duran, I think they're ok tho

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Apr 10 2025

being in a beastie boys-type group where we all say the last word of each line together would be so much fun. very enriching activity

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Apr 15 2025

Very homosexual music, also the early stereo songs with instruments in one ear and vocals in the other are really annoying, this was quite good though.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 17 2025
A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Apr 22 2025

She's got a lovely voice. There are better versions of pretty much all these songs tho unfortunately. Would recommend those instead

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 23 2025

Yeah thats a gorgeous album.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 24 2025

Some boring songs but some really fantastic ones as well! |Thumbs up from me

Gorgeous album, Fiona Apple has such a powerful voice.

Disintegration by The Cure
May 13 2025

This lot need to cheer up. They should listen to house music or something

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 14 2025

Gorgeous album, That Lady is so much fun and their summer breeze cover is pretty cool too

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 15 2025

Good album, rather ridiculous

May 16 2025

Bar the hits, this album is pretty boring. The scientist and Clocks are undeniably great, but there are only 2 other songs really worth mentioning.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 20 2025

Way more boring than A Rush Of Blood To The Head, which is saying a lot

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 21 2025

pretty good i guess

The White Album by Beatles
May 22 2025

Should have put something on the cover tbh

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Aug 25 2025

Very pretty music, a lot of fantastic stuff comes out of West Africa

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Sep 01 2025

Stan Getz is fantastic. Its no Getz/Gilberto, but a very worthwhile listen nonetheless

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Sep 03 2025

Definitive disco. Weaker than Thriller, but what album isn't?

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Sep 05 2025

Some good songs but not a game changer for me

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 08 2025

One of Radiohead's best. I love Jigsaws

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Sep 11 2025

Nice noodly psych rock

Liquid Swords by GZA
Sep 12 2025

Fantastic production, really fun lyrics too

Live! by Fela Kuti
Sep 15 2025

Fela Kuti is probably one of the artists that I am most sad about never being able to see. These live sessions sound like so much fun

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Sep 16 2025

It's insane how different this is to so much of the other hip hop at the time, chipmunk soul will always have a very special place in my heart

White Ladder by David Gray
Sep 19 2025

Not really my cuppa but quite nice nonetheless

Atomizer by Big Black
Sep 24 2025

Good fun, I enjoyed songs about fucking a lot more, but this is very cool too! RIP Steve Albini

Sep 25 2025

One of the best of all time, very understandable as to why it is on so many t-shirts

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Sep 26 2025

Some really cool deep house/jungle tracks. Very nice mellow dance music

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Oct 14 2025

Really cool, very funny as well! It's really interesting how openly critical he is of the prison

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 16 2025

That was great. What a fantastic man!

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 17 2025

I've not listened to much grunge before, but this was absolutely fantastic. What a great album

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 21 2025

Cool ig. Changed music a lot for sure

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Oct 22 2025

Perfect album apart from all the fartin at the end. Whats that about

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Oct 23 2025

Not really my kinda music, the hits on this album are great but the rest is kinda just filler

Oct 24 2025

My dad had this album on CD and played it all the time in the car, so this is a very nostalgic album for me. I recognise almost all of the songs by sound, and nearly none by name lol.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Oct 27 2025

Green Onions is great, and there are also other songs on this album

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 10 2025

I feel like I'm a bit too young for Green Day, never really got it tbh

Connected by Stereo MC's
Nov 12 2025

Pretty cool, a little unnoteworthy

Close To You by Carpenters
Nov 13 2025

Some very sweet songs in here

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Nov 14 2025

Wasn't expecting much but that was super fun!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Nov 17 2025

Miles Davis is the GOAT! This isn't his best work tho

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 18 2025

What a great album! So influential and a real staple where I'm from. Kill all white people

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Nov 19 2025

I've always hated the Foo Fighters on principal. This was fine tho

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Nov 20 2025

Arcade Fire for Hamilton fans? is this anything? i dont know

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Nov 21 2025

I'd never listened to Queen Latifah before. Thumbs up emoji

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 25 2025

Massive Attacks so sick man. Should have put a bug on the cover tho.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Nov 27 2025

Why did he open it with that

Tommy by The Who
Dec 03 2025

Actually quite liked that

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Dec 04 2025

Very sexy, very cool.I like how shes Indian for a bit.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Dec 05 2025

I felt like this album trails off a bit, starts out cool tho, love a bit of Amy. You ever seen the statue of her in Camden? Shits fucked up.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 08 2025

Three friends is a nice name for an album. i am going to go hang out with three of my friends now

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Dec 09 2025

Maybe its because I love Arcade Fire, but I really enjoyed this! Super cool album. Very reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen too

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Dec 10 2025

I really enjoyed this album! Not groundbreaking but very pretty :)

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 12 2025

Unc crashing out cos he never got the chance to hop on fortnite, sad really...

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Dec 15 2025

Actually good fun! I find that jam bands can be pretty hit or miss for me, so I'm glad this one hit.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Dec 16 2025

Some great standards - really cool jazz

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jan 12 2026

Pretty interesting, although I thought the B-side was significantly weaker. Very interesting comparing this to the music Eno makes just 5-6 years later.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jan 13 2026

Not a big fan of Sting, and I am feeling mean today

Jan 14 2026

Was LL Cool J actually meant to be cool? A lot his bars were really corny and pretty lame. Beats were sick tho

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Jan 15 2026

Very sleepy, kind of yawn inducing. Good for lullabies

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jan 16 2026

Never really checked out Bob Dylan before, I kinda get it now

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jan 19 2026

Metallica has made so much music over the years, with some of it even being good!

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 20 2026

Not quite as good as Off The Wall, but still really hits!

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jan 21 2026

Kind of amusing. Friend of a Devil is a really fun song. A lot of it wasn't too standout for me tho

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jan 22 2026

Didn't get this at all. A bunch of corny metal songs? Is that it?

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jan 23 2026

Some fun songs I guess, not much to write home about.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 26 2026

A couple of cool songs and some less interesting ones.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jan 28 2026

That was ok, a bit cheesy but not in a bad way

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jan 29 2026

If you think this album isn't long enough or something you're lame

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jan 30 2026

I love dancing! Dance music is fun and cool :)

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 02 2026

I loved Bad Moon Rising when I was like 6 and I think it was because it was the first song on my mums ipod

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 03 2026

The Beastie Boys are so fun lol, I enjoy what they do but it isn't the kind of music I could listen to every day. I would get sad that i don't have my own group of boys to yell the last word of every line with.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Feb 04 2026

Very pretty songs, quite a long album tho for not loads of variance. I guess God really is that great!

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Feb 05 2026

Got increasingly boring. Also why did I Got Trouble sound like that? Did they mix it wrong? First few tracks were fun tho but way too long of an album

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Feb 06 2026

Primal Scream are super cool! What fun :)

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 09 2026

Such a beautiful album. Tea for the tillerman might be the best song under 1:30, so much love shoved into a tiny package.

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 10 2026

What a grand album! I think I'm more of a Nevermind guy, but this is obviously fantastic

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Feb 11 2026

This wasn't what I was expecting when I first saw this album. Flamin' Groovies implied a disco album, and Teenage Head implied some sort of paedophilic rock. This album was neither, and was quite fun, I suppose.

Faust IV by Faust
Feb 12 2026

I enjoyed every other song on this lol

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Feb 13 2026

I'm not really a Neil Young guy, its just not my kinda thing. To each their own, I suppose!

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 16 2026

Some fun songs! Heads will roll is a classic lol

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 17 2026

This was quite fun! Not my kind of thing but I can see the appeal

Woodface by Crowded House
Feb 18 2026

I liked the first song, but thought it got boring pretty quickly :/

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Feb 19 2026

Marvin Gaye's such a fascinating man. What a fantastic album.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Feb 20 2026

This was very nice. Shes got a lovely voice, I would love to go to Nashville one day. I think I would hate it, but nevertheless, we persist.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Feb 23 2026

Janis Joplin's the kind of name I'd make up for an alien pretending to be a human.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Feb 24 2026

This ones good but I can see why people go 'you should listen to Kid A' or 'OK Computer' and never 'Hail To the Thief'

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Feb 25 2026

Very easy to see how this inspired guys like Eminem, which was cool. However, this album wasn't really for me, and I don't think I could see myself listening to them again.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Feb 26 2026

I really enjoyed this, a super fun and novel take on Britpop!

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 27 2026

Actually pretty cool, I get why boomer glaze the shit out of these guys.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 02 2026

Some sweet songs, this was pretty lovely

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 03 2026

This was cool. It must have been fun to be an angsty teen in the early 2000s

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Mar 09 2026

I had so much fum listening to this, really grand album that makes you proud to be British

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 10 2026

Cool, but it was better when he was African for a bit

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Mar 11 2026

There's been a lot of Americana thus far. This was good, but not stand out imo

That was really cool. I think if you want to truly appreciate music as an artform, then I think it is important to step out of your comfort zone and listen to music that may make you uncomfortable. Industrial and noise music is so much fun, and there's so much more to be gained from music when you can appreciate music like this.

Mar 13 2026

Really cool stuff. Haven't listen to much hip hop from this scene, but I should! It's great!

My Generation by The Who
Mar 16 2026

Apart from the titular track, there wasn't much that stood out about this album imo.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Mar 17 2026

Really cool album! I actually quite like Led Zepplin Thumbs Up Emoji

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 18 2026

Was slightly dreading this, as I didn't care for Ghosteen, the only other Nick Cave album I'd listened to thus far. Was pleasantly surprised tho

Mask by Bauhaus
Mar 19 2026

Not really my kind of thing, but interesting nonetheless

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Mar 23 2026

Maybe my least favourite of their albums so far? Idk it was good but others were better

Apr 17 2026

Another rather dull UK album from the early 2000s. Not really sure what makes this one different from all of the others.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 14 2026

ELO is way cool. I like Jeff Lynne :)

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
May 15 2026

Quite fun punky stuff, expected a bunch of yelling lesbians with a name like Violent Femmes tho :(

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 18 2026

I've loved this album for a very long time, and whilst the reasons I've loved it have changed over the years, as have my opinions of Arcade Fire as a whole, The Suburbs still holds a very special place in my heart

Imagine by John Lennon
May 19 2026

Actually pretty decent for the most part. No Beatles tho.

May 21 2026

I've never been as big of a fan of Genesis as other prog band from the time, but i thought this was well cool.

Boston by Boston
Jun 19 2026

Lame. I'm sure that they were cool at the time or whatever but I couldn't care less about this kinda stuff

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 23 2026

Really cool, never been a big goth guy but I liked this a lot!

Jun 24 2026

50 Cent seems like he'd be well annoying irl. Lotta bangers tho

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jun 25 2026

Thought the fist two songs were gorgeous, and then the rest were increasingly samey. She has a killer voice tho!

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 29 2026

Very beautiful. A great end to an interesting career.
