Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3

This is not a good album. Baffling that they thought it was something worth releasing. Equally baffling to imagine someone rushing to a studio saying 'lads I've written an absolute banger - we're going to repeat two notes for 11 minutes!' At times I thought it reminded me of Spiritualized, a band I love. It has some of the jam vibe but none of the good stuff. Turns out that this band is a precursor to Spiritualized. Makes sense, but still does not make it good.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Oct 22 2025

It's obviously a classic funk album. Seminal. But too well-known; I've heard some of those songs so many times before I heard the album. And some of it is a little too smooth for me. Respect it for the position it holds and influence it had on music - but not a big lover of it.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Oct 23 2025

Not for me. So synth and 80's. Tina is an incredible singer but the music doesn't do her justice

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 24 2025

Quality. Bass for days, 80s through and through but with soul and feeling. Great harmonies, fantastic songs, will be listening again

Marquee Moon by Television
Oct 26 2025

Just can't get on with his voice.

In Utero by Nirvana
Oct 27 2025

Possibly my favourite nirvana album

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Oct 30 2025

Epic album. Straight into the listening rotation

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Nov 03 2025

Bad. How can they sound so turgid, even with all that screamjng

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Nov 04 2025

Yes, they're a legendary rock band. But this isn't great. Some good tunes but then a lot of blah

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Nov 05 2025

A lovely surprise. Modern Velvet Underground/Lou Reed energy.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Nov 07 2025

Pleasant Latino stuff. Will listen again

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Nov 08 2025
Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Nov 13 2025

Boss album with the big tunes on

Nowhere by Ride
Nov 16 2025

I really wanted to like this. It was just boring though

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 18 2025

Meh. Not for me

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 24 2025

Delightfulltly weird

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Nov 26 2025

Some bangers, some fluff that doesn't translate well from dance floor to record

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Nov 27 2025

There's few better sounds in the world than this band. However the songs aren't as good as the performance

Play by Moby

Grace by Jeff Buckley

This is an 11/5

m b v by My Bloody Valentine

I just can't get on with it.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Dec 15 2025

It's OK. Some bangers, lots of filler, and the bass/keys combo gets grating after more than a few songs
