Popular Reviews

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes

These lads can't hold a tune.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream

The artwork is better than the music, IMO.

1-Star Albums (7)

All Ratings (154)

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jan 04 2026

You could get lost in this quite easily, it had a lot going for it. I enjoyed it.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 05 2026

People rate this, but I think it's their weakest post-Pepper album.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jan 06 2026

It's just a great record. It was a sign of more greatness to come from him.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 07 2026

It had some good moments but overall was too drawn out and up its own arse.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 08 2026

The hits are undeniable. The rest.... it ain't great.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jan 09 2026

Some good moments in this, Cities and Life During Wartime in particular, but also it does just ramble on a bit, and I don't rate David Byrne as a singer.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 10 2026

Will I ever really like Led Zeppelin? I don't think so. This got better as it went along but I can't say I'll ever listen to it again.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jan 11 2026

This band could have been so much more. This record is great, so many layers to it.

Jan 12 2026

The reason I loved this record so much when it first came out was that it was essentially a compilation of all their previous releases. At the time, I was longing to find a band I'd never heard of that had a rich back catalogue that I could explore, and The Hives were that band, and this was that record.

Jan 14 2026

A formative listen for the younger David Macnamara, and I reckon it'll also be one for my 10-year-old son too, which is somewhat troubling.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Jan 15 2026

Nah, can't be having this on my algo.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 16 2026

One of the best rap records from the start of the century

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jan 17 2026

Some interesting bits to this but it all sort of went over my head.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 18 2026

Top 5 best Irish records, easily. Probably Top 3, if we're being honest.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 19 2026

Musically, it was quite exciting. Vocally, it was unenjoyable.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 20 2026

A surprisingly high number of bangers in here.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Jan 22 2026

Listened to this many years ago and never got into it.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jan 23 2026

It chuggs along but it also floats along. It's really great.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 24 2026

It had some promise really lacks anything that massively captured my attention.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jan 25 2026

Solid record, I enjoyed it

Technique by New Order
Jan 26 2026

Starts out promising, as if someone had just discovered a new music toy, but as it progresses, it sort of becomes a bit repetitive.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jan 27 2026

Willie Nelson, live from the cocktail lounge!

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jan 28 2026

A few hits of note, but not my cup of tea.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 31 2026

One of those records that just fills your room with nice music and you can let it ease over you.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 01 2026

It's not my favourite Stones record, but I think its the record that most defines the band.

Arular by M.I.A.
Feb 02 2026

The peaks are great, the troughs are pretty unremarkable.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 03 2026

A good entry point for CCR, it was interesting.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 10 2026

What a way to open a record! This is a classic, one to go back to time and again.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 11 2026

It got better towards the end, but I didn't love it.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Feb 12 2026

I'm with Nick Cave on this one, RHCP are shit. I remember when this came out, and I liked it, and it's a deeply shameful period of my life that I wholly regret. Even paid actual cash to see them live on more than one occasion!

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Feb 13 2026

Beautiful record. Shame he's a wrong'un.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 14 2026

I know this is good, I just can't love it as much as I loved OK Computer. I remember when it came out, it was so innovative, everything about it was just like...."this is what the future could be..." but I just wasn't ready for it. Or want to be ready for it.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 15 2026

Fairly unremarkable.

Roots by Sepultura
Feb 16 2026

Not for me.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Feb 18 2026

I wanted this to be a bit darker, more atmospheric. It was good, but lacked a little bit of something special.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Feb 20 2026

Infinitely better than the film, which is shite.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 23 2026

Not for me.

Repeater by Fugazi
Feb 25 2026

Never really appreicated Fugazi, always assumed their were one of those bands that I just wouldn't like, but this was a lot more polished that I was expecting.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 28 2026

A great record, if I could, I'd give it a 6.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Mar 01 2026

You could see where they were going with this. It gets really good towards the end.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Mar 02 2026

Some nice moments to this, but it started off with more promise which wasn't really sustained through out the rest of the album.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Mar 06 2026

Htis are great, the rest is a bit filler-y.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 09 2026

Boy, that n-word really stands out! Solid record, I enjoyed it. Reminded me of a really good record called Kontiki by a band called Cotton Mather that I listened to a lot back in the 2000s.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Mar 15 2026

I respect his artistic vision but absolutely fuck off with your 8 minute closer of noise.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Mar 16 2026

Couldn't find this on Spotify in my country so can't comment.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 18 2026

Is it the greatest debut album of all time? Not for me to say.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Mar 22 2026

It's a good record, but it's also aged pretty badly.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Mar 24 2026

I find Paul Simon quite boring.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Mar 25 2026

Bring on the flood.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 26 2026

I like meat. I also like this record. The two worlds can co-exist!

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 27 2026

Decent record, but not their best.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Mar 29 2026

I remember when B&S kind of broke out, and this was lauded as like a secret debut, and it was really hard to get a copy of it. Years later, I did buy it, and I wasn't wholly unimpressed.

Play by Moby
Mar 30 2026

No chance, I lived through the time when this was EVERYWHERE. I'm not listening to it.

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 31 2026

My first rap album. It's a good one.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Apr 02 2026

Decent soundtrack, not so decent film.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Apr 03 2026

A decent Morrissey record? Do my ears deceive?

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Apr 05 2026

A bit too much for me. Needs a bit of structure!

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 06 2026

This was okay, but not great

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Apr 09 2026

Good singles, but not much else to retain attention.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Apr 10 2026

What a way to open a record! But a double album, really? A&R needs talking to.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Apr 11 2026

Boring, all the songs sound the same, no choruses, no variety in the instrumentation. I really don't enjoy this type of music.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Apr 16 2026

Not available on my streaming platform of choice but I seem to recall owning the CD. Can't remember much else about it though.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 17 2026

It's good, but I'm not buying that it's great.

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 18 2026

Never got around to listening to this, and it's fun for a while, but it gets a bit boring and samey.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Apr 19 2026

This was quite fun, and not as dreary as I was expecting it to be.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Apr 21 2026

I doubt this rating would be too popular, but I find Led Zeppelin quite boring.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 22 2026

This was actually a lot of fun!

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Apr 23 2026

These lads can't hold a tune.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 28 2026

I enjoyed.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Apr 30 2026

I find this record really frustrating as it's got some really good moments, but then it's littered with absolutely pointless noise.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 02 2026

Probably my favourite Bruce Springsteen record. The films actually pretty decent too.

May 03 2026

Started off with a nice Björk kinda vibe, but after a while, it was pretty nondescript.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
May 09 2026

I can't stand Tracy Chapman.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
May 11 2026

It starts off great, but I found it to become a bit same-y after a while.

May 15 2026

I met the guitarist from Megadeth a few weeks ago. I'm still not listening to this record though.

May 16 2026

Kind of like a lot of records from that time, it starts off great and has good singles but by the end you're sort of looking at the counter thinking "How much more?"

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 18 2026

My lad is really into Michael Jackson for some reason? Thriller is good, but I'm not really that bothered.

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 19 2026

The hits are classics but underneath them, everything else is really great.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 21 2026

Couldn't give it 6, that would be absurd.

May 22 2026

43 songs, 74 minutes....fuck me! It was good in parts, but lads, get an A&R!

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
May 23 2026

Meh, it was nice for background music, but faded away after Take Five.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
May 24 2026

Remember listening to this when I was much younger and thinking it was okay but listening to it now, it's aged very well.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
May 25 2026

I didn't like this when it came out and I still don't. His voice ain't for me.

Queen II by Queen
May 27 2026

A good place to start with Queen, IMO.

I Against I by Bad Brains
May 28 2026

I think I was expecting something a bit more. It was okay, but I didn't love it.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jun 01 2026

This record had very few redeeming qualities, and I had made up my mind about the score I would give it after 2 songs.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 02 2026

SIngles are good but I found it a bit boring.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Jun 04 2026

Not as good as their first one, but still a great record

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 06 2026

Not as good as Funeral, but I remember when this came out feeling that it was a bit of a missed opportunity.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 07 2026

Try as I might. Steely Dan will just never do it for me.

Jun 08 2026

I love this record more than any other Pulp album. It sums up the times, and the state of the band in better ways that any one else did at the time.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 10 2026

This record just gets better as it goes on. Phenomenal!

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jun 11 2026

Such a cool record. Imagine bringing your friends home one night and telling them you're working on a new album, and then playing them this! Too much sauce!

Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 13 2026

It had its moments, but I felt it dragged on a bit towards the end.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jun 15 2026

A beautiful record that just gently floats over you as you listen.

The Band by The Band
Jun 16 2026

I really enjoyed this, which was a surprise.

Lost Souls by Doves
Jun 17 2026

One of the great records from the start of the 21st century.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jun 19 2026

I don't enjoy this version of Weller, he can be much more experimental.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 22 2026

The artwork is better than the music, IMO.

Jun 26 2026

This got a lot of buzz when it came out and I really couldn't understand why,

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jun 29 2026

Made the mistake of listening to this on shuffle so it's okay, but it might be better than okay, because when I was listening to it, I thought the sequencing was very odd!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jun 30 2026

A good jazz album. A great album title.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jul 02 2026

You can see here, early doors, how good an artist she was going to be.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jul 03 2026

Skunk Anansie are not a good band, this is not a good record.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 06 2026

I liked this record, but I find Stevie Wonder's album's too be a bit drawn out. For every great hit, you have to go through a lot of...other stuff.

Different Class by Pulp
Jul 18 2026

One of the great Britpop albums. I think this was the first album I actually bought with my own money.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 30 2026

Overrated, IMO.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Aug 01 2026

I can see why it's so influential; I just lost interest in it halfway through.
