Synchronicity by The Police

Awful. I was happy when I saw today's album was the Police but boy was i wrong.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 26 2025

Did not enjoy it. Comes across as pretty pretentious to me

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 29 2025

Decent. Title track is the standout, but Jungleland was good too. Nothing exceptional, but solid

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Oct 30 2025

Good standard. Enjoyed it more than I thought i would.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Nov 03 2025

Fucking terrible. Whichever idiot told him he was talented has a lot to answer for. If you gave me the choice between listening to this again and never listening to any music ever again, it would comfortably be the latter. I didn't expect much but bloody hell. Deserves zero stars.

Atomizer by Big Black
Nov 05 2025

Not my cup of tea - I'm sure a proper punk would love it though

Heroes by David Bowie
Nov 08 2025

Don't get the hype

Horses by Patti Smith
Nov 15 2025
The Poet by Bobby Womack
Nov 16 2025

Really good

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 17 2025

Few good tracks, not many though

Third by Portishead
Nov 19 2025

I like her voice but cant hear much of what she's actually singing. Not a fan overall.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Nov 21 2025

A few mildly catchy riffs, but why does every song have to be about teenage kicks?

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Nov 22 2025

One of the best albums of the 21st century. Ground breaking, quality from start to finish. Love every thing about it.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 25 2025

Starts off alright but becomes too repetitive, pretty dreary too.

Future Days by Can
Nov 26 2025

Music in the loosest possible sense of the word. Wanted to pierce my own eardrums after two songs.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 27 2025

Enjoyed it, EVH was an absolute giant

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Nov 28 2025

Dreary, dour, dire, dross. I only managed two songs

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Dec 02 2025

Weird. Lyrics sounded like they'd been written by an 8 year old.

Green by R.E.M.
Dec 05 2025
Blur by Blur
Dec 10 2025

Quite an unpleasant listen. Where are the melodies?

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Dec 12 2025
Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 16 2025

A few really good songs then one song repeated throughout essentially.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Dec 18 2025

Kept waiting for it to get interesting but it never did. Not good not bad. Not anything at all.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 22 2025

Not my cup of tea

Smash by The Offspring
Dec 30 2025
Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jan 05 2026

A decent tune or two, but really not my vibe

Third by Soft Machine
Jan 09 2026

Unpleasant

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 10 2026
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 14 2026
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl

1989 by Taylor Swift

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jan 26 2026
Synchronicity by The Police
Jan 27 2026

Awful. I was happy when I saw today's album was the Police but boy was i wrong.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Feb 04 2026

1* is extremely generous

C'est Chic by CHIC
Feb 10 2026

Disappointed. Very samey

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 13 2026
Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 21 2026
Eagles by Eagles
Feb 27 2026
Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Mar 09 2026

My favourite album of all time. Most bands would be happy having this many huge songs in their entire career, these guys did it in their debut album. Sen-fucking-sational. The most 5* album ever.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 16 2026
Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 04 2026

Four really good songs (symphony, sonnet, drugs, lucky man) aren't quite enough on an album over an hour long for 4*. Enjoyed it overall though

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Apr 06 2026

The only Iggy pop song I know is Passenger (like most people). I thought to myself 'he's been around for ages, surely he has to have something better than that cause it's absolute shite.' Dear reader I was so wrong. It's all really bad.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Apr 10 2026

What the everloving fuck did I just listen to. I have no words. The Tracey Emin of music. Can you just record a load of random noises over a drum beat and call it music? Here's my idea: a swing drum beat, with animal noises interspersed with nonsense poetry being read in breathless, broken German. Every 37 seconds there is a scratching sound. Once in a while the noise of an airplane flying overhead. Where's my Grammy? FUCK THIS

Suede by Suede
Apr 12 2026
Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 14 2026

Not bad. Not great. Not offensive. Not memorable. Don't quite get the hype.

Tical by Method Man
Apr 15 2026
Arrival by ABBA
Apr 18 2026

Proper good

So Much For The City by The Thrills
May 10 2026

How can you call yourself the thrills and then write music that couldn't possibly thrill anyone?

New Wave by The Auteurs
May 11 2026

Dreadful. Instantly forgettable (and I really hope I do forget it). I honestly couldn't even focus in on one part of it - were the lyrics good? Basslines? Production? The overall result was so utterly vapid I couldn't tell you and don't care. When I first started writing this it was 2*. Now it's 1. SHITE.

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
May 13 2026

Is it too late for them to take this album back? I hope not. I'm not a big fan of Lou Reed, but this sounds like an incredibly shitty attempt to impersonate him. I listened to every song. Couldn't get to the end of one of them. I can't write good songs. We have that in common. Unlike them, I did not force my mediocre talent on the world. This has made me seriously reconsider whether this thing is worth my time.

Play by Moby
May 14 2026
The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
May 15 2026

I hate it here. Maybe I don't appreciate this because technology has advanced now and a child could accidentally make this on the keyboard in their music classroom today. Electronic music must've been difficult to make back then. I acknowledge this is groundbreaking stuff. Just because you could, it doesn't mean you should. Dear lord how can something so revolutionary sound so drab? It was so dull.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

Groovin' by The Young Rascals

Remedy by Basement Jaxx

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
