Risque by CHIC
Oct 10 2025

Bit boring, couple of really cool baselines but found some songs were overly long without going anywhere.

Oct 13 2025

Brighton Rock mega album opener, guitar so good Killer Queen goes without saying, lyrically unbelievable and just a timeless track. Now I'm here really good track got everything, really gritty guitar riff that sounds familiar. Funky. Bring back Leroy brown really interesting, seems ragtime 50s inspired but so different from anything else on the album.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 14 2025

Couple of decent tracks, thought the cover was interesting and couldn't decided if it fit the album.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Oct 15 2025

Just unlistenable for me, first track was only one I found slightly interesting but never found it more difficult to get through an album.

Hotel California by Eagles
Oct 16 2025

Unbelievable album really nice balance, guitars and solos carry a little, but to be expected with the title track being so infamous for the mega solo Think wasted time is a missed opportunity for a solo personally at the end, but a great track nonetheless Love the classic gritty rock tracks of victims of love and life in the fast line New kid in town didn’t grab me as much but still a great track - needs another listen Not huge on closing track personally Vocals are fantastic throughout, voices blend really well.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Oct 17 2025

Some good instrumentation, but cannot look past his just irritating voice. Makes most of the tracks unbearable to listen to despite the potential for a few decent songs. Used to think Psycho Killer was a decent track but now all I hear is his ridiculous voice. 2/5

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 20 2025

Hallelujah cover is good but bit boring as an album. Quite enjoyed last 3 tracks, started to get quite interesting n couple I would go back and listen to again. 3/5

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 21 2025

Yeah, fair enough just a mega album. I generally find Reggae listenable but quite boring however this I enjoyed thoroughly all the way through. Only got better as it went on and loved the fusion of genres, especially the English rock influences due to my taste. Jamming, One Love and Three Little Birds all timeless songs, as well as Waiting in Vain, a new song for me that will be going straight into my playlist as I loved the track. 5/5

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Oct 22 2025

Not having it, like they took the Beatles idea of being n LSD when recording without the creative product. Boring, slow and just confusing. Not sure what elements of the album can even be described as influential. Murder Mystery is god awful and a right mess of 8 minutes. Won't be listening again. Gets a 2 purely on pale blue eyes and some kinda love which were just alright.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 23 2025

Very confused by the genre, not something I've heard before but can imagine it being very different for it's time. Produced in a bizarre way but actually don't hate it. REVERB. Actually some listenable parts but the vocals I struggled with at times especially with having no clue what she's saying. Quite enjoyed Persephone for some reason. Then took what felt like a huge change in direction with Pandora.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Oct 24 2025

Quite enjoyed. Would definitely listen to something 4 the weekend again, really u my street. Found gathering moss really difficult to listen to but other than that a very enjoyable and different indie album.

Is This It by The Strokes
Oct 27 2025

Yeah fair enough is pretty mega. Only criticism is it started to feel a little samey by the time I got to barely legal, however Someday makes up for this and keeps it fresh. Proper no skips album.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Oct 28 2025

Some interesting tracks but generally quite samey throughout and didn't really grab me. Definitely has a place for a certain mood though and some obviously great musicianship throughout.

Honestly a bit ridiculous. However a couple of the tracks actually made me feel something which is more can be said for the Miles Davis album I had to listen to. Most was a bit unlistenable but the disturbing nature it does actually manage to achieve prevents it from being a 1.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 31 2025

Really well constructed album and definitely worth another listen. Very disappointed I hadn't already heard of this guy as well up my street. Only complaint was the lack of a really great song but loved most tracks and no real skips. This may change on second listen.

1984 by Van Halen
