Funeral by Arcade Fire

Never listened to Arcade Fire before and this album was a huge surprise. Wonderful and will most likely buy a copy on vinyl.

1-Star Albums (10)

All Ratings (137)

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 30 2025

Great album, some of the filler tracks were not as strong as I had hoped. But a very listenable album which I may well add to my collection and online store

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 31 2025

Heavier album than I expected and not a sound I would lean towards normally. Some great guitar work on this album which I can hear echoes of other bands of the era. Not a bad album, just not my cup of tea.

1999 by Prince
Jan 01 2026

Good album by Prince. Nice to hear such great strong singles as openers for the album. It’s clear Prince was still developing his capabilities as a writer and performer and I do think the album is worthy of more than one listen to really appreciate it

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jan 08 2026

With the exception of two singles, not a great album to listen through.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jan 09 2026

Picking up where The Dark Side of the Moon ended… superb

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 10 2026

Never listened to Arcade Fire before and this album was a huge surprise. Wonderful and will most likely buy a copy on vinyl.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 15 2026

What an absolutely amazing album this is. Where has this album been hiding in my life. 54 years old and only just discovering The Cure.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 16 2026

Not a bad album. Love Tiny Dancer and the rest of the album flows nicely. Definitely a strong album that sits well in the highly creative period of Elton’s early career.

Debut by Björk
Jan 20 2026

What an extraordinary album. Bizarre, experimental, generational talent all mixed into one. Singles are the standout tracks but there are some beautiful moments on Album tracks as well.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jan 21 2026

Not a bad album to listen through. I enjoyed hearing the singles, which Four Kicks is my favourite KOL track anyway. A few hidden album track gems as well. As rock and roll should be - short and to the point songs making the album done and dusted in just over 35 minutes.

Fragile by Yes
Jan 24 2026

Didn’t like this sadly.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 26 2026

Never considered Jazz as a music genre before listening to this album today. Smooth, crisp and enjoyable.

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 27 2026

A well written and well produced album by the band in an era where defining yourself against your competitors as being different must’ve been a challenge.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 28 2026

A belter of an album from a period where music was great

Feb 02 2026

Some great tracks on this album which deserve more recognition than they have been given. Equally there are some tracks which left my ears wondering what the fuck… a nice dusting of Asian influence throughout. Plus the lead single is strong without the chart success remix

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 03 2026

5 star album… brilliant

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 07 2026

An ok album

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 13 2026

Bloody awful live album

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Feb 15 2026

I lost count of how many times the word Funk was sang through the album that it became a standing laughable joke. An interesting funk experimental concept album.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 16 2026

A solid classic which should be in any record collection

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 17 2026

A Cuban holiday soundtrack in mid February in the UK… why not. Not a bad album

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Feb 18 2026

The best Madonna album in her catalogue… fact!

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Feb 19 2026

An unexpected good album from a bad I’ve never heard of!

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 20 2026

An unexpected good album

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 28 2026

A great album with a powerhouse vocal throughout. Such a lost talent at a young age

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 10 2026
Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 21 2026

Where has this album been all my life. Great stuff
