Popular Reviews

Parachutes by Coldplay

There are actual people on the world who consider Coldplay to be the best band in the world. They are just so dull and boring. Granted they have a few half decent tracks on here but my god they just suck the very existence from my soul

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans

This is absolute rot. In 1996 Tool released the greatest album ever recorded and it didn’t make the book. This did. You have to question who wrote the book and listened to this and thought yep that needs to go in it. Fucking garbage of the highest order.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

Awful. They are just awful

One of the finest albums ever made

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 17 2026

One of the greatest live performances by the legendary Johnny cash. The actual album is pretty short but if you listen to the legendary version you pretty much get the whole set along with Carl Perkins, The Carter family and the statler brothers. The album is perfect.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 30 2026

I have no idea what this is. Some sort of hippie bullshit that may of sounded good on acid in the 60’s. It’s just a bunch of people making noise. It’s terrible.

This is Glam cock. Goes on about gang bangs and his cock. If he was alive today his hard drive would definitely be getting checked. Whoever decided I need to listen to this shite before I die needs to give their head a wobble

Wow what an absolute discovery. Prog Jazz. When I saw that this was nearly 2 hours long I was erm I’ll have a go but had no hope of getting through it but it was stunning.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Aug 02 2026

Just shit. 60’s pop is awful. Just the same whiney vocals over the same poor guitar, bass and drums.

Aug 14 2026

How the fuck number 1 has Brian Eno got 5!albums on this list and number 2 is this one of the 5. I mean it’s not terrible it’s literally background music. Which I quite like but to make a list of 1001 albums you have to listen to and think yep guys whack this one in it makes you question if the author is actually alright and not completely insane.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra

The actual fuck is this shite?? I’d rather have actual penguins peck fish out of my ears than sit through this again. It did make me wonder though does penguin taste like chicken??
