Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company

This was the real deal. Excellent stuff

Jan 05 2026

Not my thing. Like with many live albums if I was familiar with the original recordings I would behave have gotten more from the live album. Full of energy

Odelay by Beck
Jan 06 2026

An enjoyable listen with some standout tracks, but as a piece of work it felt disjointed

Jan 08 2026

As a teenager I loved Megadeth more than any other bad in the world. I think this experience has given me a tolerance for non-conventional vocalists. An enjoyable romp, which despite its hour long run time never outstayed its welcome

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 09 2026

I guess it’s just not for me. I listened to it three times, nothing stood out, nothing excited me or bored me. It’s not a one because it didn’t offend my ears, but it’s not something I have any interest in hearing again

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 10 2026

Overlong, but reasonably enjoyable.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 11 2026

Easy review, it’s been in my rotation since 1991 and will stay there until the day I die

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jan 12 2026

I’m pretty sure I listened to the right album, but I didn’t really like it at all. To meandering, felt pointless

Calenture by The Triffids
Jan 14 2026

When this album started I couldn’t understand why people in the reviews were so harsh. It seemed quite pleasant. By the end I totally understood L.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 15 2026

Perfectly pleasant

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 16 2026

Solid stuff, but they really upped their game with black Sunday

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 17 2026

Brilliant stuff

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jan 18 2026

I thought I’d like this, I love psychedelic music, but this was awful, really awful

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 24 2026

This was the real deal. Excellent stuff

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
