Popular Reviews

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club

I liked this but I wanted to enjoy it more. Noce to imagine bugs making tbe music.

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

Gentle. Very rambly. Like Simon and Garfunkel without the choruses. Quite liked the last song.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Sep 17 2025

I really like this album. I have for a long time. It was good to revisit it. I find it really beautiful. I've not heard it for a long time. Something I noticed this time that I hadn't thought about before was some of the playfulness in the lyrics, particularly in the second half. Predatory Wasps and Night Zombies were particular favourites in this regard. Having said that I much prefer Seven Swans and Carrie and Lowell, and there are a few tracks this album could lose. A very imaginative album from a time when songwriting wasn't usually that.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Sep 18 2025

Really quite pleasantly surprised by this. Never consciously listened to Petty before. It's a really nice textbook rock n roll album. Not sure what it is about it. Just put me in a nice mood. I also like the production. It feels like lively live music. I probably won't go back to this much, but I would be delighted to find some of these songs on a jukebox in a bar and have a bop to them.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 19 2025

Competantly executed indie rock from the finger pointing dance Eeading / Leeds massive. They can certainly write catchy songs. They do the genre well. Just happens that I don't enjoy this genre much at all. A nice memory was an old roomate absolutely bopping to this. A not so nice memory was aggressive lads with bad haircuts in the Gloucester on Tuesday nights.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Sep 21 2025

Started well but the slushy songs were annoying. Also didn't enjoy the sax. Was excited for this one but found it disappointing.

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 22 2025

I wanted to enjoy this one but I didn't really at all. I find her voice annoying and the musicians sound like a jam band. I find jangly guitars difficult to get along with and it was all just a bit noodly and directionless. If I had to pick some nicer moments they would be on Free Money and Kimberley, but no. This album is not for me.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Sep 23 2025

Superb. Cannot fault this. Just brilliant from beginning to end. I was worried it wouldn't hold up having two huge singles right at the beginning but it really did. No filler. Structured like a perfect live set. Crab.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Sep 24 2025

Didn't enjoy this at all. I felt that if he weren't already famous nobody would be onto this. Jangly and directionless. I don't really like his voice. These are personal taste things, but yeah, not for me. Golden Years and the last track better than the rest but as an slvum it did nothing for me.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Sep 25 2025

A completely normal album of music.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Sep 26 2025

This was okay but I am not sure why I have to hear it before I die.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Sep 27 2025

RIP you sweaty sex case.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Sep 29 2025

It isn't my kind of thing but I cannot deny this is a very good album. It is so well composed, excellent usicianship etc.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 30 2025

Didn't enjoy this that much tbh. Tried. Even went back to some songs again. Just found it a bit creepy and the songs didn't stick.

Oct 01 2025

I love it. Fascinating to hear where it started for The Fall. Very playful lyrically. Some really interesting instrumental parts. Amazing drumming. Yes. Good.

Oct 02 2025

What a surprising album. Inventive, kind of all over the place and playful. The treble heavy bass and funkbguitars grated a bit and after a while it all merged into one a bit, but I absolutely loved the lyrics and I can't knock its unique inventiveness.

Oct 03 2025

This one gets five stars from me. An absolute joy. Beautiful. I had always considered Eurythmics a singles band. Delighted to be shown otherwise.

The White Album by Beatles
Oct 04 2025

Not my fav Includes album, but obvs a great adventurous work. Some true bangers.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 05 2025

Very relaxing. Beautiful voice on him.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

Reminded me of when I was in the clink

Very much enjoyed this. I love this era of the Beetles. They say "yeah!" an awful lot.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Oct 20 2025

Very enjoyable squelchy dance vibes.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 21 2025

Pretty good, put a skip in my step on a rainy day. Webt on a bit mind. Feel like he got his bangers in there a bit early. Also, God is rubbish.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Oct 22 2025

I actually got into this after initial scepticism. Some really gorgeous moments. Not ebough lanning though.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Oct 27 2025

A lovely surprise. Perfect Sunday album.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 28 2025

Enjoyable. Nice vibes but did turn into background music after a while. Bet these guys are mint live.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Oct 30 2025

As others have said, I want to like Sonic Youth more than I do. Hadn't heard this album before. Liked it but didn't love it.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Oct 31 2025

Didn't pung my socks.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Nov 02 2025

Bedroom garage blues punk. No idea. Drugs.

Nov 10 2025

Spoooky synths

Incredible

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Nov 12 2025

Some of my fav pogues songs on here, but as an album... hmm. Someone sort out the production maybe. Was a good shout for Armistice day though.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Nov 13 2025

Sorry David. You're just not for me.

Low by David Bowie
Nov 14 2025

It is a good Bowie album but I am not a fan of Mr. Bowie.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 15 2025

It is a good Bowie album but I am not a fan of Mr. Bowie.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Nov 16 2025

This was a perfect album for me. Three times through.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Nov 18 2025

A lot stranger than I had imagined. I don't usually enjoy flutes, so props for that.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 22 2025

Solid rock. A lovely relief after a stressful dar. Whisky at the bar music.

Damaged by Black Flag
Nov 23 2025

I mean, it is very much its own thing. Funny. Fast. Furious..a bit lacking in vocal dynamics but this was new ground

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Nov 24 2025

Took me a moment but glad I stuck with it. Intricate metre.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Nov 25 2025

Not totally dire, but dull.

Quiet Life by Japan
Dec 07 2025

Really quite good. Almost a four but not quite, but this is a 3 plus. Loved the emption in this..also some dancey bangers.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention

Oohly oogly oi louks moi zoidor

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Dec 14 2025

Yeah yeah v nice hounds

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 16 2025

Bowie attempts to justify humis inarticulate brutality as the effect of growing up in "soulless" Corby, to which the track Welcome to Shitsville is dedicated, but it won't wash. Scratch the nihilistic surface of opening track The Hate Song ("We hate you all! Bleurgggh!") and you find workaday beer boys on a 120-decibel bender. This second album seeks to position them as six men avenging the underclass, but they have yet to construct an intelligible platform. Their forte is soundbites ("We are the chronic youth", "Fuck the evil inside"), and while that might be all that is needed to complement their wannabe-Zeppelin heaviness, real class warriors wouldn't waste an opportunity to rant, which the Speedhorns never get around to. The barbiturate sluggishness of Heartbreaker is pretty good; shame about the rest, because Raging Speedhorn is the best name of the millennium.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Dec 17 2025

Quite good

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 22 2025

I just don't like this style of singing. Sorry goths.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 24 2025

I love this album

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Jan 16 2026

It was nice enough music to cook our tea to. One of the tracks reminded me of riding a donkey. Pleasant but nothing to fax work about.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Jan 21 2026

Very nice. Bat for Jackson.
