The Libertines by The Libertines
Jun 19 2025

It's ok. Not awful but also I don't understand the hype this album generated. There are so many filler songs on here that it could have been released as a 6 track EP easily. Disappointed.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jun 20 2025

Paula Abdul eat your heart out. Not for me at all. Just wanted to skip to the next track all the time. Still better than anything bjork has put out though.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jun 21 2025

Just so bored by this album. Meh at best

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jun 24 2025

When country stays in it's lane, it's hard to see the light anywhere else

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 25 2025

Some good tracks but overall a politically charged album that draws you out of the narrative

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 27 2025

Had no hopes for this but enjoyed some tracks. Certainly not as bad as I anticipated

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 28 2025

Just absolutely awful. Albums like this show that Bruce should either quit or just hold back on his albums until he has a decent amount for an album. Not everything he writes needs recording and releasing.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jun 29 2025

I don't understand how rock survived with rubbish like this

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jun 30 2025

Poor execution of what could have been great

Hms Fable by Shack
Jul 01 2025

Accent is too strong and deflects from the music. Feels mismatched somehow when it should work.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 03 2025

Time to pack up and move on Neil. Dreadful

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jul 04 2025

Find these kinds of albums so difficult to listen to

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 06 2025

Disappointed

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jul 09 2025

Ok, not great but I understand why they had a career.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 10 2025

Good start of the grunge genre. Will always be a nirvana fan though

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Jul 12 2025

Typical early 2000s hit. There's a reason she never made more music

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jul 14 2025

Really really wanted this to be good and it wasn't. Just so disappointed.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jul 16 2025

Grew into this album still not grabbed me though. Some incredible ideas just not executed as well as it could be

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 18 2025

Far too self indulgent. Nick cave needs to try take a break. Some nice stuff musically but I don't want to hear it again.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 19 2025

Half way through I turned off. Too samey, nonsensical dribble. So annoying as they obviously have talent but not for me.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jul 20 2025

Her voice is dreadful. Maybe it could grow but not for me

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jul 22 2025

Not as bad as I thought but I can't get on with bjorks voice.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jul 23 2025

People rave about this album but it's one of Bowie's weaker offerings in my opinion. A lot of choices musically that may have been more 'of the time's than clever choices. 5/10

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Not Sabbaths best album but still a solid 7/10. Unmistakable voice of Ozzy, the fuzz of Iommis guitar and the chuck of drums and base from Ward and butler will always be an amazing thing.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jul 25 2025

Paul Simon is a great songwriter but I've always felt his discography could be halved. This would be one of the albums cut for me.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jul 29 2025

I understand why he made it but not for me

Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 30 2025

Great for it's time. Aged awfully though. Too much up tempo, needs light and shade

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 01 2025

Too deliberate without impacting anything really. Experimentally impressive but lacks finesse

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 02 2025

Great voice, repetitive songs and album not exciting.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 04 2025

Lazy, boring and repetitive. Big songs give it extra points but overall disappointing

Cross by Justice
Aug 05 2025

Not for me this album.

xx by The xx
Aug 06 2025

Basic and simple but needs expansion to really grow

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Aug 07 2025

Not for me. Reason I've never heard of her before

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Aug 08 2025

Really enjoyed this album. Morrissey delivered and some great musical accompaniment 7.5

Low by David Bowie
Aug 10 2025

Disappointed with this album

War by U2
Aug 11 2025

Like Bono thinks he's in a war as he just shouts continuously. Lazy song writing.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Aug 15 2025

Really enjoyed this. Fresh take on sampling and still relevant 30years later

Being There by Wilco
Aug 17 2025

Lazy album and dire lyrics.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 18 2025

Was never going to be rumours, I just wish it was more like that

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Aug 19 2025

A staple of the genre and some big hits on there. Not my vibe but hard to argue with the impact this album had.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 21 2025

It feels like an experiment and I'm not down for that

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Aug 24 2025

Repetitive and boring.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Aug 26 2025

Absolutely awful

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 04 2025

Not for me
