Popular Reviews

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective

How does an 'experimental' pop group make it into 1001. Absolute trash. And the cover does my head in. And its round the wrong way. Wanker.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

Playing in prisons feels innovative and creative so hats off for this. Not a Johnny Cash fan, not a country and western fan, not a live album fan. Listened to the whole album to give it a chance. Mercifully it was just 30 minutes. Its a no from me.

evermore by Taylor Swift

She is ok. Her voice is good, but I wouldn't say she was great. Bit over rated as a singer. Why do people go so mad for her. Must be an age thing.

Kid A by Radiohead

Okay as background music I guess, whilst getting ready for the day. And not too loud. Preferably on mute....
