Popular Reviews

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Enjoyable, but not all the time. Some songs didn't hit and others were great. I've listened to some very limited LCD Soundsystem over the years so this was interesting to explore it a bit more. Will try out some of their other stuff.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey

Not bad, but I think I would have preferred a less modern Morrissey album. Please and thank you. The first song about how America isn't the main character is still very timely though. Probably moreso now than in 2004.

The perfect album to send me to start this off. I really needed this today. Been feeling very low. Realizing my hope/belief that he was unhappy is just not true. That he doesn't regret leaving, doesn't miss me, and just went back to her as if it was nothing. Despite all that she did before and how little everyone around him likes her. That I wasn't good enough. I wish this wasn't as hard as it is. That I was stronger. But music makes it better. And Bowie is perfect. This is such a fucking great album.

2112 by Rush
Jan 14 2026

Not bad, but not my favourite.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 16 2026

Not as bad as I expected. I just don't like his spoken word gravel voice. The music behind it wasn't too bad though. This was a one-time listen. Can't get through a second. Mostly tuned it out.

Play by Moby
Jan 19 2026

Good, but I expected it to be better? I had some higher expectations and the album wandered a bit more from the hits that I remember. Might listen again.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 20 2026

Pretty good. I recognized some songs. Not my fave ever, but I see the appeal.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 22 2026

Very much exactly what I would expect from a Neil Young album and yet I feel like I've never actually heard any of these songs.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jan 23 2026

This reminds me of Collective Soul. Enjoyable, but not something I'd listen to all the time.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 26 2026

Enjoyable, but not all the time. Some songs didn't hit and others were great. I've listened to some very limited LCD Soundsystem over the years so this was interesting to explore it a bit more. Will try out some of their other stuff.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 27 2026

Better than expected. My lack of fondness for the early Beatles shouldn't be a reason to listen to their other stuff. This album is strong and had some stuff I hadn't really heard before. Will listen again.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 28 2026

This was nice background listening. Jazz I will actually listen to. Felt more productive with it.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jan 29 2026

Blech. Boring.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 02 2026

I love Bowie, although, this one isn't my favourite of his. But that's not suggesting that it's bad at all.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Feb 03 2026

Slower than expected. Incredible voice.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Feb 04 2026

Better than expected. Still in the genre of early 2000's basic indie rock, but much less bland than the Strokes and other crap.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Feb 05 2026

Old country. For old men.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 06 2026

Just as good as I remember. I should listen to this one more.

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 09 2026

A double double day! Have listened to both albums today already. And yes, Papa Was a Rolling Stone is still a banger.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 10 2026

Good stuff. Classic. Listened to it twice through.

Feb 11 2026

What's with all the jazzy classics the past 2 days? I enjoyed yesterday's offering, but this did not compare. Some parts were OK, but mostly a bit too experimental for me.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Feb 12 2026

Not bad, but I think I would have preferred a less modern Morrissey album. Please and thank you. The first song about how America isn't the main character is still very timely though. Probably moreso now than in 2004.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Feb 18 2026

A wee bit more experimental than I expected, but still some good stuff on there.

Tommy by The Who
Feb 20 2026
Kid A by Radiohead
Feb 24 2026

Good stuff.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Feb 26 2026

Fucking maudlin over-fluted droning.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Feb 27 2026

Enjoyable. I like New Wave and yet haven't listened to this one much before. At least, nothing beyond Pretty in Pink.

Harvest by Neil Young
Mar 02 2026

Classic.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Mar 03 2026

Even more classic. I liked this one better than Harvest.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 04 2026

This was really enjoyable! I'm not typically a blues fan, but I really liked this. Very unexpected. :)

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 09 2026

Sort of as expected. Not my fave, but glad I gave it a listen.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 10 2026

Knew more of the songs than I expected. A fairly pleasant Monday interlude.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Mar 11 2026

Classic. Always. Ramble On is so good.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Mar 12 2026

Far more country than expected. Not terrible.

Fragile by Yes
Mar 16 2026

Weird. Like Renaissance Fair rock.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 17 2026

Kind of enjoyable. Better than expected.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 23 2026

Not bad, will listen to more I think.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Mar 25 2026

Kind of exactly as expected. Very southern rock.

Dare! by The Human League
Mar 27 2026

Reasonable.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 30 2026

Reasonable

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Mar 31 2026

I like this. Have heard a lot of it, but wouldn't have been able to name it as Al Green, but now I will.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Apr 02 2026

Most of it was fine, but the last few songs were pretty good.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 08 2026

This was weird.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 21 2026

I love this album.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Apr 22 2026

Slow and sleepy. Also a wee bit creepy. Why did they seem to think love was so dark and life/death?

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Apr 30 2026

Pretty good.

Marquee Moon by Television
May 04 2026

Vocalist sounds too much like the guy from The Strokes for my liking, but the music was not bad. Very 70's jam-rock.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 05 2026

I never liked them before, but this wasn't as bad as expected. Some not bad stuff on here beyond their radio hits.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
May 08 2026

This is a classic. I owned the CD, probably still do. So good.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
May 12 2026

Delightful and soulful, but most of the songs are about cheesy old-time love

1977 by Ash
May 15 2026

I guess this was fine?

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
May 28 2026

Not what I'd normally listen to, but not bad as background music today.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 02 2026

Very pleasant and soothing. Might listen to more in the future.

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 04 2026

Dark and moody. Delightful.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jun 10 2026

Wasn't familiar with the album name, but now I am. This is full of classics and songs I love.

Phrenology by The Roots
Jun 17 2026

Some good stuff.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jun 18 2026

Yechhh

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 23 2026
Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 24 2026

Very early 90's lady rock

Faust IV by Faust
Jun 26 2026

Zappy at times. Interesting, but not my fave.

London Calling by The Clash
Jun 29 2026

This seems so mild compared to other music these days. I really enjoyed it.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jul 09 2026
Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jul 10 2026

Very groovy Light My Fire cover. But too much sitar for my ears.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jul 13 2026

Pink Floyd perfection

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Jul 17 2026

I confused them with Supergrass so this wasn't what I expected.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Aug 10 2026

Quite enjoyable. Not too heavy.

War by U2
Aug 11 2026
Low by David Bowie
Aug 13 2026

I love David Bowie. A different album than his others with some moodiness to it. Enjoyable as always.
