Popular Reviews

Want One by Rufus Wainwright

Fuck this was a drain to listen to. Normally I don't give a 1 out but this deserves it.

The College Dropout by Kanye West

Of course he has turned into an abhorrent individual who suffer severe mental illness. Taking the pure artistic nature of the album, this is fantastic.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye

A bit of an odd album. There were snippets that I liked but then just bits that felt out of place.

1-Star Albums (5)

All Ratings (364)

Guero by Beck
Aug 13 2025

Very enjoyable, strong start with E-Pro.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Aug 14 2025

Easy 5 star

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 17 2025

Difficult to rate, when this album came out I listened a lot to it. Not sure it has aged as well as some of there other Radiohead albums. I'm sure OK Computer is on this list and I would give that a 5 for sure. Will give this a 4 (partly for nostalgic sense). Jigsaw Falling Into Place favourite from the album.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Aug 18 2025

Very much enjoyed, a solid 4 star compared to some of the weaker 4 stars so far. Would listen again and enjoyed most of the songs on the album. Particular shout out to the near 14 minute long Sex Machine.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Aug 19 2025

Using the Bryn method of scoring this has to get a 5. An album that I would listen over an over again. No filler in my view, outside the most famous songs I quite enjoy Rocket Queen and Think About You.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 20 2025

First time I have actually listened to this album all the way through. Outside of Bat Out of Hell, nothing too exciting from my perspective. It was fine and enjoyable at times, I probably wouldn't go through the whole album again.

Aug 21 2025

There are some good songs in here, but the covers are better. The Bob Dylan voice isn't for me. 2 star on the basis that there are some ok songs in here.

Repeater by Fugazi
Aug 22 2025

Enjoyed but not to shout about. I do like some post-hardcore (at the drive-in being my favourite) but this was very average for me.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 23 2025

Haven't listened to a whole Talking Heads album before. Very enjoyable, the big hit with Once in a Lifetime. Overall a solid album and I would listen again.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 24 2025

The lyrics are pretentious trash. Instrumentally I don't mind it. Not sure how to rate this one, if it was just the instrumental aspects I would happily listen to it in the background. However the problem is once he opens his mouth. Subject to editing I will put this as a 2 star .

Pump by Aerosmith
Aug 25 2025

Found this another tricky one to rate. Ultimately I have gone for a 4 star. Some crackers on here, particular favourites being Janie's Got a Gun, The Other Side and What It Takes. There is some filler in my view. Great combination of Aerosmith's early blues with the more hard rock and glam rock. I was in between 3 and 4 star possibly because I prefer their more bluesy early stuff from their self titled album, Get Your Wings and Toys in the Attic. I suspect they will be somewhere in this list.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 26 2025

Bit meh. I didn't find it offensive, but not something I would actively listen to.

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 27 2025

Gone for a 3, may drop to a 2 on reflection but this was better than others that I have voted a 2. No bangers, but solid throughout.

Woodface by Crowded House
Aug 28 2025

Nothing really offensive, just not really for me. At times the songs phased into one. The most dramatic thing was the scream mid-way through the last song.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Aug 29 2025

Very much an enjoyable listen. Have listened to this album a few times before as well and I don't get bored by it.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Aug 30 2025

It is fine. Some well known songs but not something I would listen to in full. In terms of the Beatles, prefer some of the later albums.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Aug 31 2025

At times a wall of noise but there was a lot of variety and surprises in there. Some I like, some I didn't. Can't remember the name of any songs but a solid 3 from me.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Sep 01 2025

Don't know what to make of this album. I did listen again and it grew on me a little and maybe it will further listens. For now a 2 star.

xx by The xx
Sep 02 2025

Actually listened to this album a fair few times when it came out. It is an enjoyable listen and there are highlights with Intro, Crystallised and Night Time. There is a bit of filler and not quite 4-star worthy. Solid 3-star.

Signing Off by UB40
Sep 03 2025

Pleasantly surprised by the album. My reference of UB40 is pretty much Red Red Wine so didn't have expectations. However enjoyed it with the highlight being Food for Thought. Will go 4 stars now subject to a possible downgrade.

Cut by The Slits
Sep 04 2025

Largely a random array of sounds and wailing. Butchered I Heard It Through The Grapevine as well.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Sep 05 2025

I really enjoyed this, not an artist I have listened to before. Good mix of genres and felt the album flowed well together. Faster and Tightrope were my favourites. The only negative from me is that I felt towards the end the album started to tail off. However, going for 4 stars.

Achtung Baby by U2
Sep 06 2025

Just generally boring. Nothing offensive there and you can leave it on the background. Spotify kept playing and I had no idea it started another U2 album.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Sep 07 2025

Great album, after U2 we needed improvement. Have heard a bunch of these before and really enjoyed listening to the whole album.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 08 2025

A difficult one to rate for sure. The album and Run DMC have significant influence into how modern Hip Hop and Rap has been shaped (along with the creation of rap rock), however the album itself doesn't have many highlights and a simple beat in each song. Rock Box is the standout for sure, the influence in creating and inspiring Rap Rock is of course important, however it is also just a really good song. I will go for 3 stars on balance.

Sep 09 2025

Best way to start off an album, an 11 minute mostly instrumental song. Very much enjoyed the album. A very strong start in terms of the first 4 songs, did tail off a bit and therefore a 4 star.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sep 10 2025

Have listened to this album many times before, enjoyed it then and still enjoy it now. In the first instance you would think it is some wanky french-canadians wailing pretentious indie which to an extent it is, however the album is solid and there are some big highlights with Ocean of Noise and in particular My Body Is A Cage.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 11 2025

This is filthy rock, but I like it. Overall I prefer the self titled debut and Funhouse as complete albums. There are some great songs on this album with Raw Power and Gimmie Danger being two of them. Search and Destroy is just epic.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Sep 12 2025

Nothing too offensive about the album, just a bit bored and not something I would listen to again. It felt long for a 40 minute album.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Sep 13 2025

Not the best Radiohead album, however reasonably solid throughout. A few highlights in the album.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 15 2025

It is ok, happy to have it on the background. Two Weeks, one of those songs you hear on adverts and TV shows and you only find out who it is by from this.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 16 2025

Very enjoyable listen. Good Golly Miss Molly and Proud Mary being highlights for me. Nearly a 5-star, there were a few songs that were just ok from my side.

Who's Next by The Who
Sep 17 2025

Looks like a solid run of albums and this was very much a good one. I would however say first two songs and last two songs crackers, middle five a bit more on the average side. I think the maths still come out to a four overall.

Parklife by Blur
Sep 18 2025

Overall as an album it is ok. Clearly some big songs in terms of Parklife and Girls & Boys and some other highlights in there as well. But there is some filler. It is a good album and good for the background.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 19 2025

I think this is a fantastic album. I have listened this is a number of times before. On the bluesy side for the Rolling Stones, but there are some cracking songs here and don't think there is much filler.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 20 2025

Have always been a fan and this is a solid album. The hits/singles are big ones in my view. A little bit of filler, however overall a good flow to the album, a lot of variety and an enjoyable listen.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Sep 21 2025

Rather boring. The funky bassline on some songs save it a little bit.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Sep 22 2025

Up my street. Listened to this album a while back, bluesy and soulfully. A very enjoyable listen.

Sep 23 2025

It is a good live album and I do like the additional covers in terms of The Man Who Sold The World and Where Did You Sleep Last Night. However, going unplugged/acoustic lessens what makes Nirvana good so I think I can only go to a 3 star.

Debut by Björk
Sep 24 2025

A difficult one to rate. The random wailing can get a bit annoying. However some the underlying music is strong and there are some songs I enjoyed there. Provisionally 3 subject to some a downgrade. I think there is plenty more Bjork and who knows, I might become a fan.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Sep 25 2025

Mixed. It is too long for my liking. There is a lot in here I like. Problem is that you have a few songs that bluesy and very enjoyable, then a couple of not so good songs that are pop orientated. Just about a 3 star for me.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 26 2025

Not really my genre. I can appreciate what is being done here and some elements I enjoyed, but ultimately will not revisit.

Sep 27 2025

An enjoyable listen, some hits/singles I would listen to again. However overall it was good background rather than something I would revisit as a whole album.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Sep 28 2025

Doesn't do much for me. Nothing offensive in there.

Starts off ok, then just dips and boring. Again, I don't hate it, just good background music and inoffensive.

Sep 30 2025

Haven't listened through the whole album before, it was simply great. A range of genres and not really any filler. Outside of Bohemian Rhapsody, The Prophet Song and Love of My Life as favourites from the album.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 01 2025

Never listened to Van Morrison before outside the bigger hits. I enjoyed the album. A bit of soul, some jazz elements, some stuff more rocky - a good mix. There were no big tracks I would say, but the album flowed well.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Oct 02 2025

Haven't listened to a Muddy Waters album in full, but very much enjoyed this. I am a blues fan so this album was great for me. First song was probably the favourite. I also really liked Walking Through the Park however noticed that I played the reissued version and it had an extra song.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Oct 03 2025

There is a lot to like here, however it is too long and you willing the album to finish. Started much better than it ended. Currently a 3 star but I might reassess.

Oct 04 2025

Funky. The first song is by far the standout, however overall an album I enjoyed with a bit of variety.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Oct 05 2025

One good song the rest a bit meh.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Oct 07 2025

A new one for me. Pleasantly surprised and on the better end for the more folksy music. In between a 3 and a 4 for me, might be a little harsh and go for a 3.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Oct 08 2025

First half of this I was getting into and enjoying the album, but I think it starting getting annoying and maybe something about the voice started draining me.

2112 by Rush
Oct 09 2025

There might be some bias as I do really like Rush, however this album is a triumph. Of course the 20 minute epic at the start is truly amazing but the remainder of the album stacks up well. Have listened to this album a number of times and will listen through many times more.

Future Days by Can
Oct 10 2025

Light, breezy and a good listen. Certainly interesting, mix of genres in places.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Oct 11 2025

Have listened to this a number of times before. Very much enjoy it. There is a little bit of filler in the album/a tad long. Nonetheless, a solid album.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Oct 12 2025

Doesn't age well for sure. Didn't hate it, but didn't do too much for me outside the odd song like Heart.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Oct 13 2025

I enjoyed this, jazzy, bluesy and a bit of soul. A relaxing listen. But nothing exceptional to push it to one of the higher ratings.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Oct 14 2025

Some good, some boring. The two big hits are great along with some of the bluesy tracks towards the end. The rest was not too exciting.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Oct 16 2025

Not sure how to really rate this, mix of genres and the album is all over the place, but it is also fun and enjoyable in parts. Overall, I would say I enjoyed the chaos.

Oct 18 2025

There is some good stuff in here, some of the well known hits are very enjoyable. However there is a lot in this album that doesn't age well (most notably the lyrics). Rap music has progressed from this. None the less, the nostalgia element of some of the songs retains a 3 star.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 19 2025

I wasn't sure what to expect. The only song I knew was The Killing Moon which is fantastic. The album as a whole I really enjoyed. Has some vibes of The Cure (I guess the same era).

Oct 20 2025

Somewhat similar in my assessment for Eminem. There is a lot to enjoy in this album and quite a few 'bangers'. Lyrical themes more closely aligned to the gangsta rap genre so although there are some choice lyrics, maybe a bit less than Eminem. Solid 3 star.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 21 2025

Mixed from my perspective. There are some songs in here that I really like but there is a bunch of boring filler. A hybrid of other Britpop bands and you can see the influence/range of songs. Just scrapes a 3 from me.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Oct 22 2025

I wasn't disgusted by it. However it is a really hard listen.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Oct 23 2025

Don't really understand why this would be considered on this list. Rather boring and each song blended into each other.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Oct 24 2025

I enjoyed it. Different from what I expected from a Beach Boys album. Good, but not enough to push it higher.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 25 2025

Very good. Some big hits and solid rap rock credentials with the title song Raising Hell.

Oct 26 2025

Banger after banger. I like Britpop and Oasis so maybe there is bias, I however enjoyed the album as a whole and there weren't many tracks that were filler.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 27 2025

Very easy listening, didn't feel like it was over an hour long.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Oct 28 2025

As with the other Muddy Waters album, very enjoyable and this one even bluesier. I quite liked it as a live album. A couple of good easier listening albums recently, looks like the trend is changing.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Oct 29 2025

Funky hip hop. A delight of an album. Big hits and no filler.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Oct 30 2025

Solid all round.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Oct 31 2025

Just the album that I needed to get through reviewing some reports this afternoon.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Nov 01 2025

I liked it. There were some Americana Bruce Springsteen vibes that I really liked towards the end of the album. However some of did blend in a bit so conservatively going for a 3 star, could be upgraded to 4 at a later date.

25 by Adele
Nov 02 2025

It's good. There are some big hits in there but also some filler. Good background music.

Country Life by Roxy Music
Nov 03 2025

It was fine, nothing in there got me excited but neither was I offended.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 04 2025

This was great, the addition of Young adds massively. Some great songs in terms of Helpless and Deja Vu. Overall solid.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Nov 05 2025

Struggled with this one. Haven't gone for a one as there were some ok elements to it, but clutching at straws.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Nov 06 2025

Solid album throughout. I would listen again and enjoy.

Nov 07 2025

Kind of start out ok with the first song and I thought that maybe I could feel differently about British post-punk. That quickly faded.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Nov 08 2025

I'm just girl wanting to have fun. Surprisingly enjoying with plenty of big hits.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Nov 09 2025

Maybe I have had enough of Van Morrison. Didn't do too much for me but wasn't completely offended.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Nov 10 2025

Still find the voice incredibly annoying, but this was solid outside of that.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Nov 11 2025

I enjoyed this. Relaxing music while reviewing a report. Solid 3, possibly after reflection it may be upgraded.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 12 2025

I am very partial to 20 minute prog rock songs

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 13 2025

There were some highlight (Pretzel Logic as the title song), however the rest was rather average from my perspective.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Nov 14 2025

Generally enjoyed this. Some songs stronger than others and I liked the mix of genres in certain places.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 15 2025

Wonderful bit of music. Just a bit of good listening.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 16 2025

It was fine, some big hits but didn't get me too excited.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Nov 17 2025

Never heard of Tracy Chapman, but I feel like I have heard some of these songs before. Anyway, I really enjoyed this.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 18 2025

Strong throughout. Really enjoyed this.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Nov 19 2025

Too French for my liking

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 20 2025

We have had some dreadful British post-punk lately. However I quite enjoyed this album.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Nov 21 2025

It is a good, I like a bit of jazz. However, I struggled towards the end. 2 hours of jazz is too much jazz.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Nov 22 2025

Finding this difficult to rate. There were songs I enjoyed in here and enjoyed the mix of R&B and soul elements. However there was also some pretentious rubbish in here. Tentative rating at 3.

Quiet Life by Japan
Nov 23 2025

It was ok. Enjoyed the first song and in particular the last song.

Nov 24 2025

It was ok, no big hits on here. Park Life is better for sure. However a solid 3 (maybe I need to update Park Life on reflection).

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 25 2025

When I saw this pop up I though "this will probably be rubbish". Turns out I quite liked this.

Nov 26 2025

I really contemplated rating this a 1. It wasn't offensive, just offered very little value.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Nov 27 2025

The first half is strong than the second, however overall a great listen. Some really good range within the album. The big hit of course Kashmir, but personnel favourite Trampled Under Foot and In My Time of Dying.

Nov 28 2025

I struggled a bit with this one. Initially it was interesting but found it a drag.

Illmatic by Nas
Nov 30 2025

Strong album with some good jazz vibes along with the rap. Enjoyed.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Dec 01 2025

Many songs I have heard before but never knew it was Cat Stevens. A good listen

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 03 2025

In my view one of the best hip-rap/rap artists around. This album is solid throughout and has a lot of range/influences (a lot of funk influences). Have listened before and will listen again.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Dec 06 2025

One of the most relaxing commutes I have had in a while.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Dec 07 2025

Quite boring. I struggled a bit to get through this but wasn't so offensive to get a 1.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Dec 08 2025

A bit of relief after Syd Barrett. Maybe I am voting this higher as it was more uplifting, nevertheless I enjoyed the album.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Dec 10 2025

Pretty bored. Didn't do too much for me outside the keyboard/piano on the 2rd/3rd song.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Dec 12 2025

A relaxing listen. Definitely helped me focus on a Monday morning/drown out the office chatter.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Dec 13 2025

Really enjoyed the bluesy guitar driven music on this. Currently a strong 4, might upgrade upon future listens.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Dec 14 2025

Didn't do anything for me really. I wasn't offended, however there was nothing exciting in this and I don't understand out of all the very good music there has been recently that this would be on the list. Within the same genre there have been many very good albums that should be on the list ahead of this.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Dec 15 2025

Rather dull/not for me.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Dec 16 2025

Guess I like Johnny Cash. Enjoyed the comedic interludes as well.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Dec 17 2025

Didn't enjoy the 28 songs in 40 odd minutes. What was there was ok, just didn't work as an album for me.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 18 2025

Solid album throughout with some big hits in Sabotage and Sure Shot. Really liked Futterman's Rule.

Phrenology by The Roots
Dec 19 2025

Nice mix of styles and good variety on her. An enjoyable listen and just about squeezes a 4 rating.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Dec 20 2025

Nothing that really excited me here. It was ok and fine for some in the background.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Dec 21 2025

An enjoyable album, a pleasant surprise.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Dec 22 2025

Meh - didn't have any of the big hits that I know

Horses by Patti Smith
Dec 23 2025

Really enjoyed this. Heard a few of the songs before and the album works well together.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Dec 24 2025

It was ok, there were a few good songs in there but the rest was a bit on the boring side.

Dec 25 2025

Wasn't sure at the start with the intro discussions to each song. But this did grow on me over the album and raspy voice and jazzy tunes work for me.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Dec 27 2025

It was alright. Quite a few songs I liked, some filler in my view and a bit too much noise rock in a few songs. However overall a very strong 3.

Dec 28 2025

Electric. If I was very drunk and in a club this would be highly rated for sure. It was ok and just about creeps a 3.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 29 2025

A bit crap. Not quite rubbish enough for a 1 as I wasn't offended by it.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Dec 31 2025

It was ok, a few songs I quite liked but the rest was nothing spectacular

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jan 03 2026

Short and sweet. I enjoyed but not enough to go beyond a 3.

My Generation by The Who
Jan 05 2026

It was good, maybe expected more and really there was only 1 big hit.

Jan 06 2026

Rating is reflecting nostalgia. The first half is banging, drops off a little bit. Still going for a 5.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 09 2026

Fuck this was a drain to listen to. Normally I don't give a 1 out but this deserves it.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 10 2026

Heroes as the title song did drag this album into an ok score. There were some highlights but a lot was very average.

Third by Soft Machine
Jan 11 2026

Starting weird and I was thinking this could be a long listen, however really enjoyed it. Close to 4.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jan 12 2026

Very good. Highlights with Le Freak and I Want Your Love.

Technique by New Order
Jan 14 2026

A good run of music. Although I didn't know any of the songs on this album, it was a pleasant surprise.

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 20 2026

Good start but the rest was just ok/middle of the road music.

#1 Record by Big Star
Jan 21 2026

Middle of the road rock - bland

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 23 2026

Long album, was unsure about this one but grew on me towards the end.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 24 2026

Song after song of excellence.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jan 25 2026

It was alright. The voice started annoying me towards the end however.

One World by John Martyn
Jan 28 2026

His voice sounded like he had a big muff over his mouth. Not bad however, enjoyed the album.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 29 2026

It was ok. Pale Blue Eyes as the highlight that helped it drag into a 3.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jan 31 2026

A solid album throughout with quite a few big hits. Enjoyable.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Feb 01 2026

Bunch of songs I really enjoyed but some filler as well.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Feb 02 2026

Very enjoyable and many songs I recognised. Just solid throughout.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Feb 03 2026

This was good and songs I knew. Was quite close to a 4.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Feb 04 2026

What an album. Highlights being Snowblind and Wheels of Confusion. But this is solid throughout. Easy 5 for me.

Vulnicura by Björk
Feb 05 2026

This was a tough listen. I think kind of liked the other Bjork album, this was not as good. Was tempted for a 1 but I wasn't truly offended by the album.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Feb 06 2026

Middle of the road music. There were some songs I liked but nothing extraordinary here.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Feb 07 2026

I enjoyed this one. It was a long one however and tailed off a bit towards the end, however I did enjoy it so will give it a 4.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 08 2026

Some solid jazzy tones

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 09 2026

It was alright. Was getting a tad bored towards the end but it worked well as good background music while working.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 10 2026

Middle of the road music. 1 or 2 enjoyable songs.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 11 2026

I like Bruce Springsteen, but this album isn't the best. There are some really good songs in this, but the rest is a bit average/can be a bore. Possibly being generous with my rating.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 12 2026

The headline song is great, everything else is not so much.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Feb 13 2026

I enjoyed it, good background music while pricing transfers.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Feb 15 2026

Enjoyed the listen, recognised the big hits on the album. Calming and brings back memories.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Feb 16 2026

Never know if I really like Tom Waits or find him really annoying. Mixed between both listening to this.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 17 2026

A solid album throughout. I think with the last CCR album I said something similar, so close to a 5 but for the moment it is a high 4. Maybe I revisit and change it in the future.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 18 2026

Had to do this in 3 sittings. Even if you compressed the better songs into a single album this would have still been poor. I guess this is more a novelty album. Wasn't awful to give it a 1, but the lowest of 2's.

Feb 19 2026

Maybe slightly generous, but there is the nostalgia factor and there are quite a few bangers in here.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Feb 20 2026

Listened to the one on Spotify and then looked at the review and they say it is a remake version. Listened on YouTube to the original, it is better for sure. Good background music.

Blur by Blur
Feb 21 2026

Some big songs at the start - overall a strong 3.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Feb 22 2026

I like Neil Young, but this album is not his best. There are some good songs in here however.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Feb 23 2026

I enjoyed it. Not really my genre but it was a good listen throughout but nothing exceptional to push it up to a 4.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 24 2026

Of course he has turned into an abhorrent individual who suffer severe mental illness. Taking the pure artistic nature of the album, this is fantastic.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Feb 25 2026

A solid album but lacking the big hits outside Higher Ground.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Feb 26 2026

I really actually liked this. Never listened to PJ Harvey before and I know she has always been critically lauded. Guess there is a reason for that.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Feb 27 2026

Not for me. I suppose there will be many that enjoy this and I can understand that give the stretching of genres, but found it a bit boring.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Feb 28 2026

A fun album with some big hits

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 03 2026

Banger after banger. After two meh albums it is good to have this come along.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Mar 04 2026

It was ok - some solid songs on here but not sure why this would be a must listen

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Mar 06 2026

With all Tom Waits I am never sure, there is a lot I like and a lot which is weird.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 07 2026

A solid listen. Calming and made me want to light a massive blunt.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 09 2026

I liked this. Not my usual genre however enjoyed throughout.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 10 2026

This was a great album. So much so I decided to listen to it twice yesterday.

Mar 13 2026

It was alright. I have listened to a bit of Wilco before and it is an ok listen but doesn't excite me.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 14 2026

I enjoyed the album, feel like the dream pop genre is becoming popular once more. Not enough to push to a 4.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Mar 15 2026

A good solid album.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Mar 16 2026

A few songs I really liked (and heard of before). Overall a good album but not something I will immediately be listening to again.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 17 2026

An enjoyable listen for sure. Would revisit.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Mar 18 2026

Weird first song but got better from there.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 19 2026

I don't mind it. He has better.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 21 2026

Indian Sunset is a banger of a song and starting off strong with Tiny Dancer. The rest was good.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Mar 22 2026

Never heard of them and this was not great. On later research I found out Frank Zappa is involved. I quite like Frank Zappa, I however don't really like this.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Mar 23 2026

An ok album. Good for the background.

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 24 2026

Really enjoyed this. Some easy listening.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 25 2026

Similar to the last Nick Drake, I enjoyed it and a very strange 3, but not something I would revisit.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Mar 26 2026

Pop with a bit of alt rock mixed in. It was ok but generic. Middle of the road.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Mar 29 2026

This was a drag to listen to

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Mar 30 2026

Needed to dig into YouTube to find the album. Some oddities in there but ok for the background. Nothing more than a 2.

Doolittle by Pixies
Mar 31 2026

Quite enjoyed this one. Better than the other Pixies album and a few more songs I recognised.

Suede by Suede
Apr 01 2026

It was fine. There were a few nice songs but won't revisit the album.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 02 2026

Improvement on other British post punk we have had

Play by Moby
Apr 03 2026

A solid album - a good listen throughout

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Apr 04 2026

An enjoyable listen, can't go wrong with Stevie Wonder. Not as good as Innervisions that we had a few months back but still very good.

Apr 05 2026

Difficult not to give this anything outside a 5. So many crackers in a single album.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Apr 06 2026

It was alright I guess

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 07 2026

A good listen on the commute. So big hits in terms of Little Wing and Spanish Castle Magic. The rest of the album was good but only for a 4.

The Clash by The Clash
Apr 09 2026

Quite good, British punk is finally prevailing after some questionable choices on this list.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Apr 10 2026

This album kept me flip flopping. First song, wasn't my cup of tea. Then it started getting better and I enjoyed and then back to weird. A 2 for now but maybe it would grow into a 3.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Apr 11 2026

A few well known songs that were good, rest just a bit average.

Be by Common
Apr 13 2026

It was ok. Maybe slightly better than the other Common album that we have had but nothing to give it more than a 3.

Synchronicity by The Police
Apr 14 2026

It is fine. A couple of good tracks but the rest average. A bit like the other album.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 16 2026

This is a very enjoyable listen, such a fun album to listen too. The lyrics a bit suspect but that is part of the joy. I might upgrade this to a 5 after a few more listens.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Apr 19 2026

Album was a bit mixed. However the first half was very good so drags this up to a 4 just about.

Arise by Sepultura
Apr 20 2026

Solid album. Haven't listened to loads of Sepultura. Roots is the main album I have listened to before and this is a bit different but overall enjoyable.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Apr 21 2026

A very enjoyable listen. I think strong throughout we a few big hits.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Apr 22 2026

It was alright. Good background music while pricing transfers.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 23 2026

All round fantastic album. The hits are big and the rest of the album stands up well.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 25 2026

Enjoyable with the highlights of the Iron Man cover and their big hit. Nearly a 4 but not quite.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 26 2026

I listened to this album a lot back in the day and it is solid throughout.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Apr 27 2026

There are some big hits on this and overall enjoyable, album as a whole average however.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 28 2026

Alright I guess. Nothing standout, few songs that I know but the rest of the album mid.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 29 2026

Excellent album. No dips and plenty of highs.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Apr 30 2026

Some good old funk. None of the big hitters on this however so stuck with a 3.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
May 01 2026

Some middle of the road 60s rock

Feast of Wire by Calexico
May 03 2026

An enjoyable album, tempted with a 4, but I think that would have been generous.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
May 04 2026

A strong 4, throughout the album is solid with the obvious hits at the start and towards the end.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 05 2026

A fun little album.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
May 06 2026

Outside the one or two well know songs, the rest was quite average I would say.

In Utero by Nirvana
May 09 2026

A good listen with some good hits. Didn't deliver all the way through.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
May 10 2026

Some I liked others less so. But overall a good album from my perspective. Had to get the YouTube version up, seems like Spotify only had 5 songs of the album.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 11 2026

A few songs I like and the rest of the album pretty average. I don't think this is an album that I would revisit.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 12 2026

A solid album throughout. 3 massive hits, 3 secondary hits and the other 3 songs ok I would say. Still a 5.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
May 13 2026

A solid album with quite a few big hits in here. Not as complete as What's the Story Morning Glory and therefore a 4.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 15 2026

Not quite as good as prior Echo and the Bunnymen but an ok listen.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
May 16 2026

Solid throughout. A few big hits in here. In between the two Bruce albums we have had so far.

Liquid Swords by GZA
May 17 2026

Quite enjoyable listen from my side.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 18 2026

Maybe a tad better than the other album, but pretty average/nothing to give it more than a 3.

Garbage by Garbage
May 19 2026

An enjoyable listen, some songs I quite liked. But nothing exceptional as a whole album.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
May 20 2026

It was alright, a strange one. Some parts i liked but other parts were just odd. Tempted to go down to a 2 but scraping a 3 for now.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
May 22 2026

It was alright. It felt more modern than the year it was released.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
May 23 2026

A 4 given the bigger hits on the album that drags it up.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
May 25 2026

Absolute crap.

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 26 2026

A simple method of addictive riffs and simple repetitive lyrics. Very effective.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
May 28 2026

A tough listen. I can understand why this would be on the list, but not really something I would want to listen to.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
May 31 2026

Quite a drag. Nearly a 1 but felt that would have been a tad harsh.

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 02 2026

Very good album. Highlights in Sour Times and Glory Box, the rest also strong.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 05 2026

What can I say, I like Led Zep. First half stronger than the second but still great throughout.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jun 07 2026

It was quite boring. Once he opened his mouth it got immediately worse.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jun 08 2026

I gave the other album a 3, but this felt like more of a drag. Maybe I was having a good day last time.

Moon Safari by Air
Jun 09 2026

Just what I needed to get through my timesheet entry on a Friday

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jun 10 2026

A bit dated but it is a fun album for sure

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 11 2026

Preferred the other album to this one. There were some good songs in here and Maps is the one I have listened to before a fair few times. Overall, only ok.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jun 12 2026

This was probably the worst of the three albums, it was fine however and just about scrapes a 3.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jun 13 2026

It is a good listen, but after more than 3 hours you feel drained and bit bored by the end.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 14 2026

The album was listened to a lot back in the day. For me it is a banger of an album (probably not for most). Many great songs on this.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 15 2026

Had a good variety to it and I enjoyed it. Won't be reached out to listen to it again anytime soon however.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 16 2026

First two songs are strong, the rest is ok.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jun 17 2026

I was rather bored by it.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jun 18 2026

An odd one, started well, then a few strange songs. Overall ok.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 19 2026

A solid album throughout. Some good funky hits.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 20 2026

It was good, some big hits for sure. Not quite a 5.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jun 23 2026

Some good songs. Title track and Fame are very good, the rest pretty average.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 24 2026

Another one that is just fine. A few good songs in there like Deacon Blues and Peg.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 25 2026

It is ok, enjoyable background listen.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jun 29 2026

Solid German electronic music

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 30 2026

Very good. Cracking first two songs.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jul 02 2026

Don't really know what to make out of this. Possibly my lack of culture, but I didn't really enjoy it that much. Wasn't bad, just felt like a bit of a drag.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Jul 03 2026

A strange album, kind of liked it

Jul 04 2026

There are some really good songs on here, but overall it is on the boring side. With or Without you drags it to a 3.

Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 06 2026

Not quite for me

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 07 2026

A solid effort, was expecting a bit more

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jul 09 2026

It was alright - a few songs I like and the rest very middle of the road

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Jul 10 2026

An ok record. Was tempted to drop it to a 2 but there was just about enough in this.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 11 2026

Pretty strong throughout. The hits are pretty big in here and there is a good level of funk. Tempted for a 5 but I think a 4 is probably a fair reflection. I think something like By The Way would get a 5.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jul 13 2026

Odd album. Wasn't anything I was too interested in but not completely offended.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jul 14 2026

I quite enjoyed it. Last few songs were a bit more bluesy. Solid 3.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 16 2026

Light and breezy

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jul 17 2026

I guess this is alright

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 18 2026

Two cracking songs, the rest solid. A very strong 4.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jul 19 2026

A solid album. Good start and trailed off a little bit.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jul 21 2026

Enjoyed it, but mainly his hits rather than the complete album.

Traffic by Traffic
Jul 23 2026

It was alright, nothing too special here

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Jul 24 2026

A lot of mid albums currently. This is ok, but nothing exciting.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jul 26 2026

Surprising album, not sure about the lead singer but the level sax and the occasional heavy instrumentals made this enjoyable.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 27 2026

A bit of an odd album. There were snippets that I liked but then just bits that felt out of place.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jul 28 2026

It is alright, there are a few big hits in here. The rest of the album average or not to my taste.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jul 29 2026

It was good, but I did start losing interest towards the end.

Electric by The Cult
Jul 30 2026

It was fine. Love Removal Machine the song most of note. The remainder was ok.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Aug 04 2026

It was fine, jazz is ok.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 05 2026

This was shite. Depressing and the last song was absolutely dire. I don't see the appeal of Nick Cave.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Aug 06 2026

The lyrics and music are quite wanky. I wasn't absolutely offended to give it a 1, but it was very close.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Aug 07 2026

Maybe because we have had a run of absolute crap or the fact that this is just a very good album, it deserves a 5. Banger after banger on this album.

Aug 08 2026

I just don't like Coldplay. I know, it is popular to bash on them but I just don't like it.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Aug 09 2026

Bit meh, it was alright in moments but didn't inspire anything

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Aug 10 2026

I guess I really like The Rolling Stones. After two disappointing albums I needed this.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Aug 11 2026

I know this won't be a popular review, I like Neil Young. This is better than some of the other albums we have had.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Aug 12 2026

It was alright. I enjoyed most of it. Prefer The Smiths to his solo stuff.
