Popular Reviews

1999 by Prince

Not feeling anything for this album. Some of the grooves are funky but not really enjoying this album.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

Reminds me of being an angry teenager. I enjoyed this album, the mix of beats, rock, hip hop and angry yelling is a fun mix.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

Very cool. Listen to this album walking through a city at night and it feels like a soundtrack.

All Ratings (292)

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 21 2025

Very clear vocals and easy to bop along to. I like a good scat as well. I probably wouldn't listen to it again but it was enjoyable to have on in the background.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Apr 22 2025

I thought I looked old school hip hop but this didn't really do much for me. There was some funky tracks in there and some classic tracks which I have heard samples from in Krafty Kuts sets.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Apr 23 2025

I thought I looked old school hip hop but this didn't really do much for me. There was some funky tracks in there and some classic tracks which I have heard samples from in Krafty Kuts sets. Africano is the best track, quite a funky beat and some nice changes.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 24 2025

I like some of the sounds, particularly the electronic sounds. I can barely hear the lyrics though. Living in Paradise is my favourite track from this album.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Apr 28 2025

Forgettable album. I learned where the song Psycho Killer came from.

Metallica by Metallica
Apr 29 2025

Pretty good album. I get why it is so famous. Enter Sandman is the best track but Wherever I may roam is my second favourite. I liked the energy of the album.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 30 2025

I feel like an angry teenager in the 90s hanging out in the park. This also reminds me of Scott Pilgrim.

Third by Portishead
May 01 2025

Beats are interesting but I can't quite hear the lyrics.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
May 02 2025

Forgettable psychedelic rock album. Not really for me.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
May 07 2025

I enjoyed this one, really clear easy voice.

1999 by Prince
May 08 2025

Not feeling anything for this album. Some of the grooves are funky but not really enjoying this album.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 12 2025

A better David Bowie album but still not for me.

Blur by Blur
May 13 2025

Song 2 and Beetlebum are great but the rest of the album didn't make any impact on me.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 15 2025

I didn't feel anything for this album.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
May 16 2025

Not my kind of metal but I enjoyed it.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
May 19 2025

Nice easy listening album. I enjoyed it.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
May 20 2025

Not for me. Easy to listen to but I didn't feel the deeper message.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
May 21 2025

The start of this was epic but quickly devolved into something I wasn't too keen on

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
May 22 2025

Great album. I really enjoyed the energy and the lyrics behind the songs. Nice to hear where the Ironic song originated.

OK by Talvin Singh
May 23 2025

I like electronic music but this wasn't really for me. I liked the combination of sounds but it wouldn't be something I listen to.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 26 2025

I enjoyed this album, I need to read more into the lryrics but a few songs were good and I enjoyed Californication.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 27 2025

Really enjoyed this album. Most tracks had a great funk to them. He's the greatest dancer and we are family are my favourite tracks.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
May 28 2025

Smooth vocals but didn't really do anything for me.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
May 29 2025

The lyrics told a story and had meaning but the music felt like an era that wasn't for me.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
May 30 2025

This album wasn't for me. I'm sure there was a better context for listening to it but none of the tracks really stood out to me.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jun 02 2025

I'm having trouble standing his voice but I did like Most Likely You Go Your Way (and I'll go mine).

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 03 2025

I liked some of the beats but the voice and lyrics were so slow and I couldn't really see the deeper meaning.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jun 04 2025

Easy listening. I liked the later part of the album more.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 05 2025

You don't hear guitar solos like this anymore. Easy to listen to but I got bored after a while

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jun 06 2025

Some beats were good but this album didn't interest me.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jun 09 2025

Enjoyable rock album. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit resonated with me the most and had me grooving along to them.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jun 10 2025

I know Running up that hill from Stranger Things but the whole album is decent. Kate has a good voice. The album does scream 1980s and has the synths to prove it.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Jun 12 2025

Easy to listen and clear vocals. Nothing extraordinary from a soft country album.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

Sonically very interesting but there was so much going on that it was tricky to follow and just felt all over the place.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jun 16 2025

Really easy to listen to and great sounds. I've listened to it a few times before and find it unique and enjoyable.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jun 17 2025

A great jazz album. I did not like the mix in headphones, having a bass guitar next to my left ear felt unpleasant. Once I changed to mono it was a great easy listening album.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Jun 18 2025

Probably the easiest country album I have listened to. We had it all was my favourite track.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jun 20 2025

I listened to the original on YouTube and the one on Spotify. It isn't really for me, the music is nice but not something I would go out of my way to listen to.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jun 23 2025

Fun album with some funky tunes as well as some toe tapping parts.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jun 24 2025

Really fun album. My favourite tracks are Walk This Way and It's Tricky. I'm not sure if all the lyrics are still acceptable for today's society.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 25 2025

Loud and angry. There are some interesting tracks but it all blended together for me.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 26 2025

The song Alright brought back Donkey Konga memories but the album was forgettable for me.

Jun 27 2025

I went in with big expectations on this album being one of the most popular albums for one of the most popular groups ever. Some of the songs were great (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, With a Little Help from my Friends) and a good number I respected for being very different, experimental and interesting. Overall though this album didn't leave a huge impression on me, it's standout for sure but I can't see myself listening to it much again.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 30 2025

Beautiful voice and music. Everything about it felt silky smooth. It did feel more like dinner party music and the slower tracks were a bit more suited than the big band tracks.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 01 2025

Nice clear voice but the different styles throughout the album were a bit jarring for me.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 02 2025

This album wasn't for me. I couldn't get into it but it was great to hear it for its cultural value.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 03 2025

Some enjoyable tracks such as Dreams. The other tracks didn't really stand out to me. It was good to hear this album as I can hear the influence in other albums later on.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jul 04 2025

Highest production David Bowie album I've heard. Not something I would listen to again.

Jul 07 2025

There is an under current of Irish music to these songs but there are many different styles throughout. I think my favourite track was Metropolis.

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 08 2025

All the tunes sound very similar to me except with different lyrics. They are fun though.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jul 09 2025

Easy to to listen to but didn't really appeal to me.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jul 10 2025

Another David Bowie album. While he has a unique voice this album didn't appeal to me.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jul 11 2025

Nice electronic beats and alternative vibe. A bit dream poppy.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Jul 15 2025

Quite liked this one. Really easy to listen to and quite groovy in parts with some instrumental tracks in between. Vocals were quite clear.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jul 16 2025

I liked the Beautiful Monster song. It was in Shrek so it was nice to recognise it. Album was ok, not really my vibe.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 17 2025

Aside from Imagine I found this album a bit boring personally.

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 18 2025

I enjoyed the sound of the first song. It was interesting hearing a historical rock and roll group.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 21 2025

Nice voice, easy to listen to

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 22 2025

Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me were fun. I like The Killers sound, it's quite unique in a sea of modern rock music.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 28 2025

It was fun hearing Girls just want to have fun and time after time.

War by U2
Jul 29 2025

All really distinctive sounding tracks and it doesn't feel like a rock record from the early 1980s, it feels more modern than that.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jul 30 2025

Really enjoyed this easy listening album.

90 by 808 State
Jul 31 2025

The beats are really cool. Feels like I'm in an old techno club or disco.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 01 2025

Fun album which had me bopping around. It wouldn't be something that I would go out of my way to listen to but it does put me in a positive upbeat mood.

Debut by Björk
Aug 04 2025

I really wanted to like this album but while it has many styles I found it wasn't resonating with me at all.

New Forms by Roni Size
Aug 06 2025

Nice background music that had me tapping my foot.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Aug 12 2025

Nice soul music but didn't catch me

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Aug 13 2025

Some fun classic rock and roll but didn't really feel like I was at the concert.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Aug 14 2025

Classic rock and roll, the different songs did blend into each other for me but if you like this sound then that is not a bad thing.

American Pie by Don McLean
Aug 15 2025

Nice singer with clear vocals and calm music. American Pie and Vincent were my favourite songs.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 18 2025

Some powerful songs and lyrics especially the last song. However it's not an album that stuck with me.

Fragile by Yes
Aug 19 2025

Nice to hear the origin of the first song, rest of the album was fine.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 20 2025

I wasn't feeling this album. I'm not really into this form of hip hop.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Aug 21 2025

Very slow at the beginning of the album. Bert's Blues stood out to me.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Aug 25 2025

Bit slow for me but nice rhythm and beat.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Aug 26 2025

Easy listening, clear vocals.

Hms Fable by Shack
Aug 27 2025

I liked Re-instated but nothing else really stood out to me.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Aug 28 2025

Not having the context of the movie doesn't help. The music is nice and mostly easy to listen to.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 29 2025

I liked the instrumental track The Teams that meet in Caffs. I like all the horns in the tracks, good fun.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 01 2025

Psychedelic pop music. Fun to listen to but I wouldn't return to it often.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 02 2025

Reminds me of being an angry teenager. I enjoyed this album, the mix of beats, rock, hip hop and angry yelling is a fun mix.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Sep 03 2025

Fun pop, I enjoyed the beats of the first couple of songs and under the board walk was fun to sing along to.

Sep 04 2025

I preferred the middle of the album more with the more instrumental tracks. I'm not a big progressive rock fan though.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 08 2025

Lyrics were interesting and had a strong messages. Not really my kind of music though.

Sep 10 2025

Great voice! I feel to get the most out of this album you need to really pay attention to the lyrics as if it's like poetry.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Sep 11 2025

Surprisingly I liked this one. It was nice to have on in the background.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Sep 12 2025

I felt like I listened to a lot of slow dance songs. I like jazz but this was a bit too slow and a bit too much for me. She has a great voice though.

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 16 2025

I always feel pressure reviewing a Beatles album due to how popular and influential this group was. I enjoyed the album, sonically it was interesting with lots of stereo effects. Yellow Submarine is my favourite track.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 17 2025

Didn't find it that interesting.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Sep 18 2025

Lots of interesting lyrics. Not the album I found the most exciting.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Sep 19 2025

Very clear vocals and good lyrics. Didn't hit me terribly hard though.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Sep 22 2025

I think this my favourite Bowie album so far. I'm not a fan though but hearing Changes and Life on Mars was good.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 23 2025

Really good drumming on this album.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Sep 24 2025

It's ok. A bit samey at times.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 25 2025

Didn't really stand out and I'm not into punk

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Sep 26 2025

Nice beats but I need to understand tnt culture more to get more out of it.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 30 2025

Didn't feel much from this album. Just felt like regular rock.

Night Life by Ray Price
Oct 01 2025

I felt like I was being serenaded. Good for a dinner party. Not a big fan of country.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Oct 02 2025

It's OK. Still not a big punk fan.

Vespertine by Björk
Oct 03 2025

Nice beats and grooves. Still working to warm myself up to the lyrics.

Oct 06 2025

Yeehaw! Very clear voice but at the end I felt I had my fill of cowboy music. The Little Green Valley was my favourite song.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Oct 08 2025

Janis Joplin has a strong voice but the album wasn't for me. I liked some of the extended songs, you don't hear many of them nowadays

Oct 10 2025

Long tracks were interesting but the album didn't interest me.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 13 2025

It was interesting to hear the song Brass in Pocket as I didn't know where it was from. The album itself was ok, not really my kind of music.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 15 2025

It's ok.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 16 2025

The lyrics were interesting and the first song was a classic.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Oct 17 2025

One of the most country of country music albums I have heard. Not really for me at all.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Oct 20 2025

Really enjoyed this album! Great fun mix of electronic and rock!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 21 2025

Very cool. Listen to this album walking through a city at night and it feels like a soundtrack.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Oct 22 2025

Some tracks had me vibing. The Ocean was an interesting time. Would I listen it it again. Probably not. Jumpin Jack Flash was a wild start to this album.

Oct 24 2025

Aside from the mega popular tracks (Kids, Time to Pretend and Electric Feel) the other tracks felt a bit unforgetable.

Green by R.E.M.
Oct 27 2025

Didn't really stand out to me

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 28 2025

So I like Elvis's music. There is something infectious in it that is really catchy but I had only listened to the hits. This album hits in some ways (Blue Suede Shoes) but there were a number of tracks that just didn't resonate with me. It was interesting how inoffensive the music was on a deeper listen.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Oct 29 2025

Didn't really find it that interesting.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Oct 30 2025

Enjoyable

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 31 2025

It's OK, didn't get me really.

Sea Change by Beck
Nov 06 2025

Bit slow for my taste.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Nov 07 2025

This is one of the first albums I have had trouble working my way through. At times the noisy element of it just grinded me the wrong way. Some of the bluesy and hip hop elements were there but then a wall of distorted guitars would come flying at you.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Nov 10 2025

Nice sounding album but wasn't ground breaking for me.

Horses by Patti Smith
Nov 11 2025

Gloria started out strong. The rest of the album didn't really make me tune in.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Nov 12 2025

Enjoyed this one. The instrumental aspect was quite interesting.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 13 2025

Bit too soft and slow

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Nov 14 2025

A little bit fun.

Heroes by David Bowie
Nov 17 2025

Didn't really drag me in.

Odelay by Beck
Nov 18 2025

The sound of the 90s! Some of the beats were cool and I liked the hip hop and scratches but the singing was forgettable.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Nov 19 2025

Didn't interest me at all

Lost Souls by Doves
Nov 20 2025

First half of the album I quite liked but the second half didn't really appeal to me.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Nov 21 2025

Really enjoyed this. Great music and really nice singing.

The White Album by Beatles
Nov 24 2025

This really felt like a mix of experimentation. Most of the tracks flew past my ears. A few were good and Revolution 9 felt like something I would hear in a modern art gallery.

The Band by The Band
Nov 25 2025

Quite enjoyed this one. Easy to listen to and a good mix of instruments.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Nov 26 2025

I like jazz. Do I like organ jazz? Less so. However this was a nice surprise.

Nov 28 2025

Felt like an album of sounds but maybe it was my mood today but I couldn't wait for the album to finish.

Marquee Moon by Television
Dec 01 2025

Didn't stand out to me.

Dec 03 2025

This album has some mammoth hits so I was interested in the rest of the album. The hits are bangers and rightly so (Bohemian Rhapsody and You're my best friend). The other tracks are OK, nothing in particular stood out but Queens sound is unique.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Dec 04 2025

I quite liked this album. Very easy listening.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Dec 05 2025

I couldn't wait for this one to finish. It was really hard to listen to.

Dec 09 2025

A lot of the tracks sounded the same but I did enjoy this album. It was good fun with nice rhymes.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Dec 10 2025

Some tracks were ok but a bit boring overall.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Dec 12 2025

Inoffensive pop music but interesting.

1984 by Van Halen
Dec 15 2025

A lot of tracks sounded similar but boy does it pump you up at times.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 16 2025

Fun start to my day. Put a smile on my face.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Dec 17 2025

Felt a bit like noise to me and just a lot of guitars and distortion.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Dec 18 2025

Didn't interest me at all.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Dec 19 2025

It was ok.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Dec 22 2025

Really enjoyed this one. Good grooves and easy to listen to.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 23 2025

It's definitely from the 80s with that distinctive 80s sound. It's epic in its own way though and embraces itself. I enjoy it for just going for what it is.

Black Metal by Venom
Dec 24 2025

Some more mellow tracks I enjoyed but the metal sound wasn't for me.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Jan 06 2026

It's OK rock music.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 07 2026

Enjoyed this one. I didn't love it but the beats kept me bopping along.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jan 08 2026

A bit slow but nice

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 09 2026

It was ok. Didn't stand it but now I have listened to music from Mali

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jan 12 2026

Innovative rock music. Felt a bit samey at times.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 13 2026

Really enjoyed this one. It had funky tones and didn't just feel like regular guitar music.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Jan 14 2026

This album didn't really do anything for me.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Jan 15 2026

Nice blend of jazz, smooth singing and political elements.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 16 2026

This was quite enjoyable. Really easy listening.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jan 19 2026

Make sure to listen to this album in stereo, it sounds much more full and immersive. This is a fun album. Wouldn't it be nice is probably one of the happiest songs I have heard. The random honk sounds in You Still Believe in Me had me chuckling.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 20 2026

Not as fun as his other albums but still a good vibe.

Jan 21 2026

Two legends of music produce something not terribly exciting and feels a bit all over the place some of the time.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jan 22 2026

The later songs are easier to listen to. The first few songs while rocking are in most cases forgettable except for the Immigrant Song.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 26 2026

A bit forgettable but not too hard to listen to.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 27 2026

Not for me. I know it is an iconic album but the sound wasn't for me.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jan 28 2026

Just like David Bowie this did nothing for me.

The White Room by The KLF
Jan 29 2026

The story of the band is wilder than the album itself which is interesting electronic beats. The album is tricky to find, I listened to the Directors Cut on Spotify.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 30 2026

Quite nice. I find his voice ok and unique but his music is nice.

I See You by The xx
Feb 04 2026

I enjoyed this album. The voices and music were really nice to listen to.

Feb 05 2026

Some of the more down tempo tracks I enjoyed but the rest of the album wasn't for new.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Feb 06 2026

The singing was fun and enjoyable. A bit whimsical if I say so

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 09 2026

Ella Fitzgerald has an amazing voice, crystal clear and iconic. As much as I like to listen to her this album was almost 3 hours long and was a little bit too much Ella Fitzgerald for me. Probably great for a dinner party but not for listening back to back.

Mar 26 2026

If I was sitting in a field looking at a festival stage then this music would work for me. Any other situation it just felt like the same song every time. I got to learn what an electric jug was though.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Mar 27 2026

Just not the music for me. Some of the tracks were nice but it just felt overly long.

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 31 2026

Fairly standard rock music.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Apr 06 2026

I don't agree with Kayne but this album was quite good and I see why it was popular.

One World by John Martyn
Apr 09 2026

Easy Listening

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys

Not a fan of this. Just felt like a lot of shouting.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 15 2026

I really want to like radiohead but every time I hear an album its just a little bit too slow for me

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Apr 17 2026

The concept was interesting but it didn't draw me in.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 20 2026

Fine, rap doesn't interest me and this didn't really change that opinion.

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 21 2026

Didn't really capture my attention.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 22 2026

Interesting and slightly musical. I wouldn't listen to it again as it was quite dark and brooding.

Queen II by Queen
Apr 24 2026

I get they are one of the biggest rock bands in the world but their sound for most of their songs on this album sends a bad shiver up my spine. It is a unique sound, unlike anything out there.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Apr 27 2026

Do you, yes you, like really long guitar solos and really quiet vocals? Well this album is for you. Joking aside this album was ok.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Apr 28 2026

Really good album. Strong messages and themes. Very clear singing.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 29 2026

Interesting sound. Some tracks stood out.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 30 2026

This is quite fun. Enjoyed this one.

Ctrl by SZA
May 01 2026

Decent album.

21 by Adele
May 04 2026

Incredible voice and I was excited to listen to it. I'm not sure if I would listen to it again but I enjoyed it.

Play by Moby
May 12 2026

Some very famous songs in this album but not all of the songs caught my attention.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
May 13 2026

Inoffensive nice music.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 14 2026

Memorable songs but not really my era.

May 15 2026

This album was huge when I was a tween. I just can't get into it. I'm not a big rap fan but this just feels like something a 13 year old boy would create. It feels like its claiming to be edgy and funny while spouting incredibly mysoginistic and homophobic phrases. I think this album can exist and people can be offended by it but I just didn't get any enjoyment out of it. It's over the top but it pushes the edge a bit too much. I understand its meant to be voice of a lower class or the street but maybe I'm just too old to enjoy this.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
May 18 2026

I feel like wiggling my finger in the air and tapping my toe. It's a fun big band sound and I quite enjoyed it.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 19 2026

Surprised about this one. I was expecting a lot of heavy metal and came away with some interesting rock. It felt like the tail end of the 70's and a change of sound coming into the 80s.

Country Life by Roxy Music
May 22 2026

Nothing really stands out.

OK Computer by Radiohead
May 25 2026

I really want to like Radiohead but I just find it a bit too slow and alternative for me.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
May 26 2026

Not as fun as Pet Sounds but it's ok

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
May 27 2026

I have only heard Perpetuum Mobile (which is one of my favourite songs) so this was a nice surprise to see this album. It's interesting and experimental. I don't see myself coming back to it but it was quite calming and nice.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
May 28 2026

Fascinating Icelandic music. Not really my style.

Vulnicura by Björk
May 29 2026

I enjoyed this Bjork album more than the previous one I received. I'm not really into the vocals but the combination of electronic beats and string instruments was cool. I also received two Icelandic artists in a row (Sigur Ros and Bjork).

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 01 2026

Didn't blow me away.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 02 2026

It's ok. Not my type of music.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jun 03 2026

Quite fun and something I wouldn't have sought out myself.

Close To You by Carpenters
Jun 04 2026

I quite liked this album. The vocals were very easy to listen to.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 05 2026

I like the Beach Boys but this album was just a bit too squeaky clean for me.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jun 08 2026

The first song is great and a classic. The rest of the album is forgettable.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jun 09 2026

All different songs. Some classic songs but didn't excite me that much.

Da Capo by Love
Jun 10 2026

The instrumental at the end was the most interesting track of this album.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jun 12 2026

Didn't really do anything for me. Nice voice.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jun 15 2026

This was a nice listen. Didn't blow me away but it was pleasant.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 17 2026

Not really into progressive.

Guero by Beck
Jun 18 2026

Still struggling to get into Beck. Very different genres and styles throughout the album, I appreciate the gusto to try new things.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jun 19 2026

Feel like a country boy in the USA. Some of the songs were interesting but nothing stood out as a defining song.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 22 2026

I like jazz and this album is good but I preferred the other Miles Davis album.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 23 2026

Easy to listen to and quite funky. Easier rap album to listen to.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jun 24 2026

The instrumentals were good but the style changed a bit wildly at times.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jun 26 2026

I like garage but I wouldn't be an active listener. Musically the album was interesting.

The Doors by The Doors
Jun 29 2026

Interesting album. Not really into psychedelic rock.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 30 2026

Very calm and easy listening music. Something to have on in the background at a brunch or pre-dinner drinks.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 07 2026

A big hit from my early teen years. Quite good. The rest of the album surprised me considering the first 2 songs are mega hits. I like the 2 song tracks, they make for seamless transitions.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 08 2026

Feels like a different genre every 2 songs.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jul 09 2026

Easy to listen to. Nothing remarkable.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Jul 13 2026

Had me swaying away. A bit slow but it sounded nice.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 14 2026

Sounds nice. Very easy to listen to voices.

Music by Madonna
Jul 15 2026

I found this one hard to listen to and not very enjoyable. The best thing to come from this album was the Above and Beyond remix of What it feels like to be a girl. I didn't find the version of American Pie to be good at all.

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jul 16 2026

It was ok, the last song was hard to listen to but the other jazz songs were good.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 17 2026

Blues but nothing too exciting

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 20 2026

Born to run is the song I hear in most running playlists. He's got a powerful voice and he's a good performer. I wouldn't race out to see his show.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jul 21 2026

It was enjoyable and not hard to listen to.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jul 22 2026

Interesting album. Easy voice to listen to.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 24 2026

Pretty forgettable. Impressive Spanish singing for a French singer, it had me fooled.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 27 2026

Iconic 80s album. Aside from the hits I didn't really resonate with other songs.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jul 29 2026

I enjoy The Chemical Brothers. The beats just feel like something different to anything else. This album wouldn't be a top one of theirs but I enjoyed it.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jul 30 2026

Pretty boring, didn't excite me.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 31 2026

I enjoyed this one. A couple of odd tracks but a few good ones.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Aug 04 2026

Easier than other hip hop to listen and different than East Coast hip hop.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Aug 05 2026

It's fine, easy to listen to.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Aug 06 2026

Not easy to listen to. The instrumental is ok except for the wailing in It was a Pleasure then. I don't find the vocals easy to listen to.
