Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Nov 03 2025

Sleepy, chill album from Jeff's dad. I'm not familiar with his work but I'd definitely come back to this.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Nov 04 2025

Some good covers from Willie but ultimately I felt that it was the original songs that were carrying it, rather than his versions of them.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Nov 05 2025

Overall a good and enjoyable listen which went relatively quick. Stand out tracks for me were: Living For The City, Higher Ground and All In Love Is Fair (loved his voice on this track)

Nov 06 2025

Solid album. The album opens with hit after hit and a big dose of nostalgia. Despite being 30 years old, it holds up incredibly well and made me understand why there's so much excitement around their world tour. I really enjoyed this album and instantly went back for another listen. Stand out tracks: Roll with it, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Some May Say & Champagne Supernova!

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 07 2025

ZZ is one of those bands you always hear about and they seem to have a loyal following but I really don't get it. Overall the album is non-offensive and definitely something you can listen to, but none of it grabbed me or moved me in anyway.

Hotel California by Eagles
Nov 10 2025

Never thought I was much of an Eagles fan, but I really enjoyed this. Hotel California is obviously great and one of their better known tracks but Wasted Time and Wasted Time (Reprise) reminded me of storytelling I have been missing from just listening to tracks on Spotify.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 11 2025

This album for me somewhat defines the sound of the 90s. Disarm is the definite stand out but I really enjoyed listening to this again.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Nov 12 2025

Never heard of this band, not even a whisper and honestly I'm not sure why. Maybe it's just me. Maybe their sound is not unique enough, but Back to Mystery City is a good album and a good listen. Standout songs: Malibu Beach Nightmare, Until I Get You and Back to Mystery City

Nov 13 2025

Really enjoyed this. I haven't listened to techno in a while but this was a great listen and felt like a bit of a journey.

Tapestry by Carole King
Nov 17 2025

Listened to this album while flying back home. It’s smooth and soulful, and just the vibe I needed after a big week. Standout tracks: I Feel the Earth Move, Way Over Yonder, You’ve Got a Friend, Will You Love Me Tomorrow? and (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.

Purple Rain by Prince
Nov 18 2025

I didn't grow up on Prince, nor was I ever around any big Prince fans, and yet I'm aware that he's widely considered to be a legend. The aura around him makes rating this album difficult. Did I enjoy this, or am I afraid to go against the grain and say I didn't. Or was it actually good but I raised my expectations so high that it couldn't live up to it? Who knows. Prince being prince, it deserved two listens and on the second time round I did enjoy it more. The Beautiful Ones especially is a great track and probably my favourite. When Doves Cry is an obvious classic that even a Prince newb like me knew and loved. Overall, I'd give this a 3.5 if I could. I enjoyed it and hope to like it more on future listens, but I'd be lying if I said that it's immediately going into my playlists.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Nov 20 2025

I really enjoyed this album. It's chill, lounge like vibe makes it a great listen. I get why people think this is boring or why it's compared to elevator / background music, but for me this style really hits me in the right way. It's calming but still engaging and honestly makes me long for grabbing this vinyl and curling up in front of a fire to enjoy it. I'm new to DJ shadow and Endtroducing just got me hooked!

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Nov 21 2025

I didn’t love this nor did I hate it. Working Class Hero is definitely the stand out but over all this album wasn’t for me and won’t be remembered.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 24 2025

Reggae just isn’t for me. It sounds formulaic and ultimately disinterest me

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Nov 25 2025

Was very excited when I saw this pop up but man it wasn't for me. Maybe this album didn't land or maybe I'm just not as big a Beastie Boys fan as I thought.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 27 2025

This was a hard start. It felt off and something that I would hate. The urge to just put this down as “not for me” is as high but I decided to persevere. Having listened to the album I can appreciate that it’s an attempt at saying something, at expression. Honestly I have no idea what it’s trying to say, and it really wasn’t for me, but I do appreciate the work for what it is.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 28 2025

Nice Radiohead like sound. Usually this is my sound but for some reason this album just didn't grab me and I struggled to finish it.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Dec 01 2025

Solid opening. I've heard XO before and liked it so this really isn't a huge surprise. Overall it's an enjoyable listen but I would have appreciated more variety in the album as many of the songs sound the same.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Dec 02 2025

I don't really know how to describe this album, but boy did I enjoy it. Her voice, the live recording, the part where she forgot her lyrics, all of it brilliant!

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 03 2025

I don't think I've ever listened to a 6 disk album before! I'd be lying if I said I truly took it all in, but having it on in the background was nice and overall I enjoyed the atmosphere of this album

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Dec 11 2025

What an album and what a voice! From stolen car I was hooked and listened through a few times. After a few tough listens in a row, this was a welcome break.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Dec 12 2025

I’m just not an Elvis fan. I understand he was an important part of music but aside from a few tracks, it just does nothing for me. Didn’t hate it, just won’t be back.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Dec 15 2025

Interesting listen. There was something less refined about the sound on this album that made me think it predated Ok Computer and Kid A, but I was wrong. Knives out is the clear stand out track

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 07 2026

Genuinely liked it. It's moody, muted and the perfect listen for a dark, rainy day
