Popular Reviews

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera

2 bangers of singles don't manage to counteract the self-indulgent mess of the rest of the album. "Thank You (Dedication to Fans...)" is particularly narcissistic.

Revolver by Beatles

One of my favourite albums of all time. Every track is a classic. No brainer 5 stars. Particular highlight, the Beatles creating dance music 20 years early with Tomorrow Never Knows.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Oct 09 2025

Never heard of this group before. Interesting, chilled out ambient but a bit too background music for me. Repetitive nature (tempo and instrumentation) started to drag after a while. Recognised Rue the Whirl from the TV show Spaced!

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 10 2025

Never really listened to Kendrick Lamar before. Perfectly enjoyable, but I don't think I'll be humming it to myself later. Solid album, and I like the thematically paired songs like u and i, and for Free? and For Sale? Could probably use a few more listens for it to really sink in properly.

Oct 13 2025

Haven't listened to that much Wu-Tang, but enjoyed this album. Recognised some of it, and the beats and rapping is top quality.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Oct 15 2025
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Oct 20 2025
Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 22 2025

I'm a fan of the Who, so listened to the deluxe version. The only reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because of the perennial problem with the Who. The quality of the songs vary from exceptional to mediocre. The highs are so high, but the lows are quite low. Also, a bit weird to have live albums on this list, given all the songs exists on other albums in their intended state/order.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Oct 23 2025

I like the famous songs I know by Van Morrison, but by god, this album sounds exactly the same from start to finish. So little variation really drags, even for 44 minutes.

1999 by Prince
Oct 28 2025
Oct 30 2025

I've always liked Pink Floyd, but have to admit I'd never listened to this album from start to finish. Just, wow.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 03 2025
Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Nov 06 2025

2 bangers of singles don't manage to counteract the self-indulgent mess of the rest of the album. "Thank You (Dedication to Fans...)" is particularly narcissistic.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Nov 11 2025

First album on my list that I didn't finish. Aimless meanderings with insipid music and uninspiring vocals. Not for me.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Nov 12 2025

Prefer the faster songs to the slow tempo ones. Pretty enjoyable.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Nov 13 2025

Some fantastic tracks on this album. However, some are a bit too long and there is a bit too much filler for this to be 5 stars for me.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Nov 14 2025

A good voice can't really cover up formulaic writing and production. I don't hate this, but I struggle to see the reason for the almost religious fervour Beyonce induces in her fans.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Nov 17 2025

This album gets an immediate star for having Superstition on it. Stone cold classic track. The rest of the album is a masterclass in funk, soul and R&B.

Revolver by Beatles
Nov 18 2025

One of my favourite albums of all time. Every track is a classic. No brainer 5 stars. Particular highlight, the Beatles creating dance music 20 years early with Tomorrow Never Knows.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Nov 25 2025

Like slightly-not-as-good Stevie Wonder. Fine, but doesn't excite me.
