Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves

Never heard of Kacey Musgraves before but throughly enjoyed this album and have listened to it multiple times now! Very catchy and heartfelt country songs

Paul Simon by Paul Simon

As much as I love Graceland I didn't find this one grabbed me as much. Couple of good songs but pretty meh in my opinion

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (99)

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 15 2025

Some good songs but it leans into ballad territory a bit too much. A little bit too sugary in places for me.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
May 19 2025

Really don't see the appeal. A couple of pleasant songs but quite dull overall. This genre has been done so much better by so many other artists.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 20 2025

Will definitely check out their other albums but didn't care for this one. It was too brooding and found a lot of their songs outstayed their welcome. I did think 'sin in my heart" was a tune though.

Arise by Sepultura
May 22 2025

Not really much of a metal fan but found this to be ok. Enjoyed the thrash nature of it and had some catchy grooves and hooks . Liked it more than I thought but definitely need to be in the right mood for it.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
May 24 2025

Really enjoyed this ,amazing grooves and guitar work. The fact I couldn't understand anything they were saying whilst still enjoying the music speaks volumes!

D by White Denim
May 25 2025

A nice background record. Found a lot of songs enjoyable yet forgettable. A Mixed bag for me

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 10 2025

Enjoyed much more than i was expecting. Can see how they influenced lots of soft rock band I like such as The Lemonheads. Not a huge fan of REM but this was an enjoyable listen

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jun 12 2025

Can see the huge impact and influence Ravi has on a lot of music I enjoy, but this genre is not at all for me, with every single track hugely outstaying it's welcome

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jun 15 2025

Found this pretty average. Think this type of music has been done way better by a lot of artists before (and after) 10cc

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jun 16 2025

Enjoyed from start to finish but didn't feel I could really fully immerse myself into it. Some songs felt quite generic

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jun 18 2025

Never heard of Kacey Musgraves before but throughly enjoyed this album and have listened to it multiple times now! Very catchy and heartfelt country songs

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 20 2025
Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 24 2025

Great listen. Felt some of the songs dragged on a little bit, but overall a relaxing one!

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 25 2025

Excellent chill ambient music.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jul 11 2025

Incredibly catchy and easy listening music. I had never listened to an album by L.R but I thoroughly enjoyed each song and will keep this on repeat for a while I think!

Abraxas by Santana
Jul 13 2025

Never heard of this band before! But really enjoyed the relaxed, jam band nature of this album.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jul 14 2025

Quite repetitive and boring.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 16 2025

Enjoyed! Very smooth stuff. Would be good background music for me

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Jul 18 2025

Quite an interesting but strange album. Thought it was ok,but don't think I'll be checking anything else out by them

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 19 2025

What a find! Have always stuck to the hits and rumours with FW. This had a darker tone but still very enjoyable with some great songs.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jul 20 2025

Not a huge fan of this genre but can appreciate why this is highly rated for a lot of people. Aside from the singles this wasn't one for me.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 21 2025

Enjoyed this and can see it being better with more repeat listens. Got Want Two to check out now which I'm excited for!

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jul 22 2025

Always loved Bowie but never listened to this one. Really enjoyed, very beautiful, sad and jazzy in places as well.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jul 23 2025

Really enjoyed this. Good guitar work and catchy rocky blues songs. Will explore more !

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jul 25 2025

Never listened to his solo stuff but had some really good songs on this. Will check out more for sure

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Aug 23 2025

Quite enjoyed this! Will listen to more of them as enjoyed the groove of the music

High Violet by The National
Aug 24 2025

Very average and boring. It did slightly pick up in the second half but this wasn't my favourite.

Wild Gift by X
Aug 25 2025

Usually enjoy this kind of music but felt a lot of the songs didn't have that bite so felt a bit flat for me

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Aug 26 2025

Always been a fan of this one! Brilliant album, one of my favourites

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Aug 27 2025

Not quite sure what to make of this. Had a couple of good songs and some fun grooves and beats but overall quite boring for me.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Sep 08 2025

Can see the huge impact they had on the metal genre. Enjoyed

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Sep 14 2025

Fantastic record! Have never been a fan of the title track, but every other song is amazing.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Sep 15 2025

Only ever heard the singles. Found this quite hit and miss overall. And interesting cover of iron man as well!

Sep 17 2025

Do enjoy this genre of music but found this quite average. Might grow with repeated listens so won't rule it out

Closer by Joy Division
Sep 18 2025
Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Sep 19 2025

Some catchy songs but slightly too naff for me

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 20 2025

Always been one of my favourites. So relaxing and other worldly. Still amazing after over 10 years

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Oct 12 2025
Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Oct 13 2025

As much as I love Graceland I didn't find this one grabbed me as much. Couple of good songs but pretty meh in my opinion

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 14 2025
Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 15 2025

Do Iike a bit of The Chemical Brothers and enjoyed a few songs but others felt others outstayed their welcome. Prefer their more chilled out albums

Oct 16 2025

Nice and relaxing. Not really my taste but would happily have it on in the background

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 17 2025

One of my favourites by The Stones. If it wasn't for "you gotta move" this would be 5 stars for me

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Oct 18 2025

Never properly listened to these guys but really enjoyed it. Very consistent and relaxly catchy songs. Would definitely listen to this again

Oct 19 2025

My first Fall album I've properly listened to! Really enjoyed a lot of the songs and unique style to their sound. Can see how influential they are to other more contemporary artists. Felt some of the songs slightly outstayed their welcome,but really enjoyed this and shall be listening to more!

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 20 2025

A new decent find! Really enjoyed the variety of genres within the songs and a lot of them were very catchy. Definitely listening again

Face to Face by The Kinks
Oct 22 2025

Would give this a 3.5 if I could. Always liked The Kinks and this has some great catchy pop tunes but overall album was too long

S&M by Metallica
Feb 04 2026

Not my sort of music but felt this really worked with the orchestral backing. Enjoyed!

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Feb 05 2026

Laid back and easygoing. Would have in the background

New Forms by Roni Size
Feb 06 2026

Don't really enjoy this type of music. Found the first half of the album quite repetitive but picked up in the second half. Still not for me

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 07 2026

Always been one of my favourites, couldn't ever give this anything less than 5 stars

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 08 2026

Always loved a bit of Britpop! But some really catchy and creative songs on here. Will listen again for sure

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 09 2026

Really like Gorillaz but their first isn't my favourite. Good singles but overall quite long and unfocused. Would definitely recommend Demon Days or Plastic Beach over this.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 11 2026
3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Apr 23 2026

Absolutely love the songs here, but a few too many skits in my opinion prevent it from 5 stars

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 27 2026

Enjoyed this! Would of loved this in the classic rock stage of my life

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Apr 29 2026

Some good songs but a bit too strange in places

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 01 2026

Always appreciated this and can see how influential it has been, but aside from a couple of songs this didn't grab me. And I've tried!

May 27 2026

Some very good bars and quick catchy lyrics. Felt it slightly overstayed its welcome but will definitely br coming back to this

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
May 30 2026

Only ever listened to the singles but really enjoyed this as a whole

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jun 02 2026

Had always known the singles but enjoyed a lot of this album overall! Definitely worth listening to the whole album in full

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jun 04 2026

A bit naff and cheesy, but if you take it for what it is this is a good fun listen!

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 05 2026

Always been a favourite! 1-4 by Zeppelin are all 5 stars in my opinion

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 06 2026
Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jun 08 2026

Never heard of them before but hugely liked this! Liked how all of the songs are so short but still cover such a range of genres. Will check out more!

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jul 01 2026

Not the kind of genre I would seek out nornally but liked the grooves and swing of this album

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 02 2026
Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jul 03 2026

Seems like a talented dude but not my jam
