Popular Reviews

Under Construction by Missy Elliott

Sounds tired an brings zero to the table whilst being incredibly annoying to listen to. What a waste of time listening to this was

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin

First few songs are pretty good, in my time of dying was enjoyable but very Very drawn out. Wish the bass was knocked up a notch Love some slide guitar The drummer is very good, zeppelin are very much a drummers band I feel Like. houses.of the holy is good Whys he chatting about custard pies Kashmir is a great song for the first 3-4 mins and then it becomes too drawn out Great singer I feel Like alot of the songs are too long and get a little repetitive towards the end, this does make the songs quiet catchy though Trampled under foot is an ace It's got alot of good songs but andecent amount to dislike aswell so it's quiet hard to give it a very high score but it's done just enough to get a 4 in my book

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen

Total classic, perhaps it's nostalgia classes but I proper enjoyed it.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jun 03 2025

Starts really slow and stays slow Secrets is a beautiful song haunting and meandering Not particularly exciting first half of an album Some lovely soundscapes though A forest is a great tune Not a fan of the singers voice on this album Very haunting and atmospheric throughout, but a little boring

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 04 2025

Love the title and artwork Freedom is an absolute banger Great funky instrumentation that is varied throughout Really strong opening few tracks Continues to be banging pretty much all the way through. Great album Awesome Production Re-listened a bunch so must be good Thin Line Is Great

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jun 05 2025

Great instrumentation and production Very feel good Very well made and a great album full of classic songs but just lacks a certain something that would make it 5 stars and I swouldnt register to the album.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jun 06 2025

Love this album Listened to it loads Funky as shit Bass, keys and horns go so hard on this album Few songs seemed to go on for a minute or so too long It's just ace

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 08 2025

Like the anarchist lyrics Love the high energy Production not the most clear or interesting The album is relentless Police and thieves and janie Jones are the best tunes on the album Great composition As a whole not bad preferred it on the second listen

Jun 09 2025

Proper high energy opening The singers falsetto is just terrible. Simple effective riffs coupled with a harsh toned lead bring the excitement With it being a live album the mix is pretty terrible, especially in the low end, like where is it? Like the singers gravel voice, couples well with the energy, very clash like although less rhythmic and not quiet as relentless with some nicer guitar parts Muddy AF and quiet difficult to enjoy. I think if this was recorded in a studio it could have been really enjoyable because there is some really nice guitar and the drumming was high energy, I just really struggled to hear the bass and the drums at times because they were either lost or became too overpowering the album art is wicked The emotion is palpable in the performance and you can feel the singers intensity throughout. Lead guitar carry's the band All in all I'd give it a high 2

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 10 2025

They call him the king of pop for a reason A lot of bangers Interesting instrumentation and arrangements coupled with immaculate production and Michael Jacksons one of a kind voice However there are some tracks that didn't quiet hit the mark, and because of that it isn't a 5. Also he touched kiddies and there are one too many hee hees

Album holds up amazingly well Sounds great and has some really nice vibes Just a little samey most of the way through but it doesn't get boring She's got a great voice Sounds like speedy west had a hand in this album I like how it tells a story throughout the album. Love the instrumentation

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Jun 12 2025

Hated the first few tunes Find kendricks rapping to be nauseating Art of peer pressure is decent Hated it at first listen, enjoyed it more second listen. I just find kendricks rapping annoying

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

So many beautiful harmony's Brian Wilson is a pioneer and a master of his craft. Cabin essence is an amazing song The Super dreamy atmosphere at times makes parts the album bordering on boring

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 14 2025

Rio is the best opening song to an album I've heard so far, am bias because it's one of my favourite songs ever. Bass tone is awesome The songs cleverly link and call back to each other That bass carries everything, fuck it's a lovely tone One of my favourite albums ever Banger after banger high energy interesting music. Just something about it tickles my brain

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jun 15 2025

Bob Dylan is an amazing song writer He should stop trying to play the harmonica Great lyricism, there is a good reason why so many artists cover bob Dylan songs I actually enjoy his slightly whiny singing voice. Often the instrumentation is good until the harmonica then it's just horrendous. Every song on here is great right before the harmonica kicks in, that's it's borderline unlistenable Basically whenether anyone else plays a Dylan song they do it better than him. So top marks for writing, he's just abit shit At performing

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jun 16 2025

Awesome riffs, great vocals and the bass goes hard too Have a heavy bias as I get up with this album. So many classics Gets worse towards the end and there are a few skips

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 17 2025

High energy Some of the songs are banging There are a few skips though and monnof the tunes are as good as sabotage which is an absolute bop Rappers voice can be annoying and it's hard to tell the difference between them. All around pretty fun high energy album

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 18 2025

Most of the stuff on here is better than their hits. Enjoyed listening to it whilst working. Leave home is a banger. I understand that the repetitiveness is part of the genre however it does get a little tiresome after a while

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 19 2025
Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jun 20 2025

First song is pretty good Not a good album to work too Nice melody's but not particularly catchy and very low energy really poignant lyrics lovely harmony's I enjoyed every song as single tracks, however as an album it grew a little tiresome towards the mid point. A lot of the songs are very samey, they are very good tracks but listening to 12 songs straight was not enjoyable towards the end, they are not quiet Brian Wilson Starts Strong, end strong. Time of the season is a great song

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jun 21 2025

First few songs are pretty good, in my time of dying was enjoyable but very Very drawn out. Wish the bass was knocked up a notch Love some slide guitar The drummer is very good, zeppelin are very much a drummers band I feel Like. houses.of the holy is good Whys he chatting about custard pies Kashmir is a great song for the first 3-4 mins and then it becomes too drawn out Great singer I feel Like alot of the songs are too long and get a little repetitive towards the end, this does make the songs quiet catchy though Trampled under foot is an ace It's got alot of good songs but andecent amount to dislike aswell so it's quiet hard to give it a very high score but it's done just enough to get a 4 in my book

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jun 22 2025

Vocals seem a little loud and shrill on the first song I like the madness it's very punky and indie. The 2nd song is mad, I kinda like it but it might take a few Listens to proper enjoy it. The album art is perfect for this album It's very unique, this makes it hard to listen too, however I think it has the potential to grow on me Fetch the bolt cutters is pretty good. The album. Is haunting She is a good singer and her lyrics are smart She loves her bizzare rhythms, certainly keeps the listener on there toes Album began to drag, its mad but it is predictably unpredictable and alotnof the songs follow a similar pattern of madness She is a good singer I thought I would enjoy the album after the first few songs but then it became annoying to listen to after about the halfway point Only the title track I enjoyed enough to add it to my playlist, I skipped through alot of the songs because they just didn't catch my attention. Might have to give it another listen. This album sounds like ADHD Upon the second listen I actually enjoyed a whole lot more, the 2nd half still dragged a liitle but the first half I found enjoyable and mad

Slayed? by Slade
Jun 23 2025

Honestly it's just shot, nothing interesting here, the songs are crappie and formulaic and there isn't even anything bizzare weird or fun anout it, very dull. Couldn't even finish it

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jun 25 2025

Strong start, love me some synthetic pop Motion Sickness into , How do you do? into Don't Deny Your Heart. Building up to Look at where we are. Almost as good as it gets Proper enjoyed all the songs on the first half Night and day got me shmoovin' This album is banging, Not Sure I can fault anything on it and basicaly every single song is awesome and went straight on my playlist. So not sure I can give it anything other than 5 stars for that

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jun 26 2025

Lovely guitar His voice can at times be a little of putting Nice, interesting compositions Overall a really nice jazzy folky interesting album

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jun 27 2025

The beats are funky The rapping feels dated Bass slaps hard thoe, like really hard

Blur by Blur
Jun 28 2025

Song 2 is a great song alot of the songs are not that great on disc 1 of the album Death of a party has a nice little bass line the album is very industrial sounding I liked the charm of You're so great Many of the songs on here are bad, although it is quiet and eclectic collection

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jun 29 2025

Like this album, it's very unique, although it is.my least favourite goerilaz album, Clint Eastwood and tomorrow comes today are amazing tunes

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 30 2025

Going into this album I already knew that enter sandman and nothing else matters were timeless tunes, so I was very interested to hear what else this album had in store. The songs on here that are good are timeless classics. but there are a few duds. Metallica have a sound that I do not particularly enjoy. The God that failed is a good song

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 01 2025

I enjoyed powder finger I felt like this album was a wanna be bob Dylan singing mediocre songs about native Americans. Only one or 2 songs grabbed me and I found it to be dull for the most part.

Jul 02 2025

The first 3 tracks are great Bbbbbbenny and the jets! very good all the way through liked it alot more than anticipated

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Jul 03 2025

Not my favourite talk talk album non of the tunes particularly stood out on a first listen. Nothing particularly offensive about it either

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jul 04 2025

It was a nice album, I think under the riffs Ght circumstances I could have really enjoyed it. Worth another listen for sure. Upon further listen I enjoyed it more and more. Her voice is so soulful and the atmosphere of the recording really makes you feel like your in a dark jazz bar sipping beer. Very nice album,

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jul 05 2025

Fun rapping, can't say I was overly enamoured by it.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 06 2025

Thus album is such a mixed bag, some of the songs i enjoyed, like redondo beach but the vast majority I struggled to either finish. It is interesting at the very least, and might take a lot of listen to like but so far I am not a fan at all

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jul 07 2025

A fun album that is kinda dumb with one of the single most annoying singers I've ever heard.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 08 2025

Every song on here I'd ace, and it defined a genre. Bass could be louder. But doesn't take sway from the album

My Generation by The Who
Jul 09 2025

It's a perfectly fine album, was probably amazing in its time. I enjoyed my generation and it's not true. Lots of variety but mixed in with that quiet a few chaff songs. I think if I were to have listened to this album in a different setting I would have enjoyed it more. I'll probs register at some point but for now it's a 3.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jul 11 2025

Solid album, renegade is the best tune on it. Would probably listen to it again as it was funky with very little down spots

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 12 2025

Awesome catchy album, full of hits.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jul 13 2025

Nice few tunes. Some of the songs are rather epic sounding although there are a few duds. Trafalgar, isreal were highlights. Was expecting a more disco vibe. Lead singing sings like kermit, I do like kermit though. Don't wanna love inside myself is wishy washy but a beautiful song though as it builds. Can't decide between very high 3 or low 4. When do I is a shite song. Walking back to Waterloo is an ace tune.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jul 14 2025

Psycosocial, Dead memories, snuff, vermillion pt2 absolute total bangers. exciting albums, I find that slipknots best songs on the albums are the ones where they mix the gutteral vocals with the clean ones, it makes for some really cool moments. Drums and percussion carry the first few songs. although the riff Gematria is pretty sweet. Sulfur is a good tune. The point around the middle of the album where it I feel like it becomes too much. The albums got some great highs but a few songs that are close to unbearable. all in all pretty decent

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jul 15 2025

Hard to fault anything on this album really, great bass, great guitar and the great lyrism of morrisey

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jul 16 2025

Strong start, love the jazzy vibes. the 1st song began to outstay its welcome after the 6 minute mark. its a good track just goes on abit.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jul 17 2025

So original and very interesting to listen to. I found it very enjoyable

Jul 18 2025

Aphex Vibes but no where near as good. First track became boring as hell after 5 or so mins. second tune is babba, could sit through it so boring. bobbed a little confusing the waitress. some really nice synths and interesting effects, its just nothing seems to go anywhere. Rowla is somebody messing with a filter on the same 2 bar loop for 6 mins. Its pretty shit, could vibe to it. Time has never moved so slow as listening to pearls girl. Some interesting ideas, maybe i need to listen to it in on ecstasy or in a different setting to enjoy it.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jul 19 2025

some great tracks on here aint talking about love, is classic banger as is eruption and running with the devil. its an enjoyable blues rock album nothing too special

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Jul 20 2025

slow build but when that beat hits it hits. Be in is a nice tune when it gets going. and then it overstays its welcome. boys better is a good tune. oranges is such a vibe. honestly i reckon this album on acid would be a belter. some beautiful melodys. its a vibe, at times drags but i feel that is the point. really enjoying it. everyday should be a holiday 100

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 21 2025

Enjoyed it more than I expected. Highlights were suliram, discovery the source of the wimbaway and the guy just dying laughing in one more dance. Wouldn't listen again but it was a fun ride

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jul 22 2025

Some lovely music on here. The album starts strong and ends strong a really solid album

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jul 23 2025

The album was very Very good. Every tune was highly enjoyable and there was good pacing although it seemed to pester out towards the end

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Nip is best tune on here. Enjoyed alot of the songs on here, lots of different types of genres and some interesting genre.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Jul 25 2025

Sounds tired an brings zero to the table whilst being incredibly annoying to listen to. What a waste of time listening to this was

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 26 2025

dazed and confused as well as good times bad times are stella, the rest kinda mid.

Tical by Method Man
Jul 27 2025

wasn't a fan, the mixing just felt off

Jul 28 2025

triad, artificial energy and dolphin smile are my favourite songs on the album. Its very musically diverse with some interesting ideas, it just didn't hit me for whatever reason. maybe if I relisten again at some point I might enjoy it more

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 29 2025

Some decent tracks in here

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jul 30 2025

nice bit of double bass on the first track. nice meandering start and great vocals. second song is ace. so much going on but it works great together. the 3rd track is haunting and beautiful. dream letters is a lovely song, but immediately after love from Rome it feels too slow. gypsy woman is decent, mad and disconnected but decent. ends strong with sing a song for you. overall decent

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Aug 01 2025

as an album it kind of sucks. there is some amazing bits of guitar playing on it and some lovely singing. but the songs mostly don't feel like complete bits of work, merely scrapings of ideas and nice melody's. it isn't horrible and at times its quiet beautiful I just think it isnt a very good album

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Aug 02 2025

shitty album name and art lets a really interesting and fun album down. Dance or die and the tightrope are great tracks. first half is really strong. its really eclectic. mushroom and roses is an awesome epic tune. make the bus is great aswell. its really fun. not perfect and abit long, some songs feel a little bit like filler. enjoyed though

More Specials by The Specials
Aug 03 2025

enjoy yourself is a great tune. the album is one dimensional but fun. first half of the album is considerably better than the 2nd. its fine. sterotype is shit and too long. holiday fortnight is fun. but i cant stand i cant stand it. overall a mixed bag

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Aug 04 2025

fast pace, low budget sounding. first 2 seconds sound identical, its fun enough but not particularly interesting. the recording felt flat with no bass. what is it with punk and not having any fucking bass

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Aug 05 2025

on drive my car, McCartneys bass goes hard. wonderfully recorded. some of the lyrics are abit dumb but its really well made and the songs are classics. Norwegian wood is nice but abit dull, not my favourite song. you wont see me and nowhere man are nice songs, well made and just nice musically. as ive listened on ive grown more fond of the album, its very very decent.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 06 2025

Considering I hated the last Neil young album I didn't expect much. But I did however enjoy the album, couldn't pick out any key songs but the whole thing worked well and I enjoyed it

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 07 2025

Total classic, perhaps it's nostalgia classes but I proper enjoyed it.

Aug 08 2025

Some nide jazz but too much talking. Tom waits is just not remotely funny. His nonsense chatter ruins it because when he is singing it is a nice album.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 09 2025

Loads of great hits, few duds. A really really solid 3 pushing 4

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Aug 10 2025

Fun solid album with a few duds. Would be a 4 but the comfortably numb cover knocks it to a 3

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Aug 11 2025

Really enjoyable album would listen again. Ace harmonica on it.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Aug 12 2025

enjoyable throughout, bass goes hard. at times a little generic. a fun solid album

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 13 2025

Some good tunes absolutely trashed by go awful harmonica playing. Fucking puling shades of Dylan this one. Had to turn it of because it was giving me a headache, and not the good kind

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 14 2025

Hit after hit after hit. They all have a similar sort of sound, but i enjoy that sound so hard to fault this album apart from maybe a lack of wound variation

Aug 15 2025

A fun lo-fi punky rock album that doesn't take itself seriously. It's lyrics are silly and the music is varied and exciting

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Aug 16 2025

Its fine, some tracks are lovely others are sent me to sleep because they were boring

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Aug 17 2025

its fine, interesting but at times annoying

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 04 2025

Awesome from start to finish, so many banger. Mr blue-sky, need it say more
