Popular Reviews

Tidal by Fiona Apple

A waste of good mobile data

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk

I tried to listen but was really not for me. Elevator music for pretentious people.

I Should Coco by Supergrass

Not the best bit of Britpop, only one good song and that's about it. He did sound a bit like Mick Jagger on a couple of songs though, so that's in his favour.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 14 2026

I don't like jazz but I liked this. Guess I like jazz now.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 16 2026

Not too bad, they just need someone that can sing

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 17 2026

Finally, a 5 star album. Not a dud track on here. Since I've been loving you - sublime perfection. God's at work!

New Wave by The Auteurs
Feb 19 2026

It wasn't good or bad, just very plain

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 21 2026

Very twee, the audio equivalent of a Bob Ross painting.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Feb 22 2026

Very of a time and place, not any of their best songs on.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Feb 24 2026

The first song was OK, I struggled with the next few and gave up and retreated to Planet rock.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 27 2026

Actually better than I was expecting.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Feb 28 2026

Good sound and plenty of top tracks

Dust by Screaming Trees
Mar 04 2026

I liked this. A bit of queens of the stone age, the cult and the tea party.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 05 2026

A couple of good songs, the rest can be left in the seventies.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 07 2026

Top notch blues

25 by Adele
Mar 10 2026

Not bad for this type of thing. Million miles away sounds uncannily like Dusty Springfield.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 11 2026

Some good tunes. One star deducted for being a paedo.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Mar 13 2026

I liked the first one but then I kinda tuned out, it all turned into a Ramones type buzzing.

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 15 2026

My favourite era of Temptations.

The Cars by The Cars
Mar 16 2026

Not as bad as I was expecting, but a bit of a Talking Heads copy.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 17 2026

Some good blusey stuff. Timeless quality.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 18 2026

Groovy baby, I enjoyed this and I didn't think I would. Four and a half stars.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 19 2026

Some good tunes some so so.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Mar 20 2026

I tried to listen but was really not for me. Elevator music for pretentious people.

Debut by Björk
Mar 21 2026

3 on here I really don't like but the rest are top notch.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Mar 22 2026

He obviously got a new glockenspiel for Xmas, dude needs to cheer up a bit. Dreary.

Mar 24 2026

Early album with a couple of good songs. You can see where others songs have evolved from this. Also one or two really sound like The Who were an influence.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 25 2026

Nothing special but an OK bit of swamp rock, if that is such a thing.

Sea Change by Beck
Mar 26 2026

I liked it and I wasn't expecting to. The songs were mellow and developed and I got into them.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Mar 27 2026

What a load of crap. The only good thing about this band is the singers name.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 28 2026

Nothing special, too much singing and not enough good tunes.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Mar 29 2026

A couple of good songs and the dude can sing but not my cup of tea.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 30 2026

I find this type of rap boring and unimaginative, bitch this and mutherf*#ker that. It's time to grow up.

Mar 31 2026

I'd forgotten just how good this is. Not a dud track, humor, harmonicas and great lyrics.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Apr 02 2026

It baffles me how something so obviously crap gets on this list. What even is this, redneck misery rock?

Be by Common
Apr 03 2026

I actually quite liked this. Had an old vibe to it. The music was good and the bass was really good.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Apr 06 2026

On the whole not too offensive considering it had the word country in the genre description.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Apr 08 2026

I never wanted to marry any of my cousins, so country music just ain't for me.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 10 2026

Out of tune 2nd division Talking Heads.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Apr 12 2026

Not utterly awful but close. Bonkers stuff.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 13 2026

Some classics and what a voice.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Apr 14 2026

Very pleasant. I imagine this would be playing in the background at Dignitas while you have your last cocktail.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Apr 17 2026

I liked metal, but I think Megadeath have always been a crap copy of Metallica.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Apr 19 2026

I enjoyed this, maybe it was the right music for a sunny day. Particularly liked the gayest cover of comfortably numb I've ever heard.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 20 2026

This utter crap is for vegans that drink soya lattes. The only good thing about this album is that I never have to listen to it again.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 21 2026

As usual with these Beatles albums, 2or3 good songs that have stood the test of time, the rest, forgettable.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Apr 22 2026

Very middle of the road. The audio equivalent of shopping at M and S.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 25 2026

Rush are very marmite, but you can't argue with the musicianship.

Sulk by The Associates
Apr 26 2026

Awful 80s synth pop. I could almost forgive the plastic music but not the vocals. Especially the slaughter of Gloomy Sunday - check out Sinead O'connor's version to hear how it's done properly.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 27 2026

I liked about half the songs on here but I don't think it was their best work.

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

Listenable hippy rock. Sounded better on the second listen, so 3.5 stars from me.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Apr 29 2026

I imagine in the old days music was always this bad. Pants.

May 01 2026

I liked the sound but I thought it was a bit messy and unfocused.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
May 04 2026

Yeah, it's awful. I can't believe someone thought this was a good idea. Must of been the drugs.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 05 2026

He's got his own unique sound, a few good songs on here.

Moondance by Van Morrison
May 06 2026

I really enjoyed this. Very nice uplifting Irish soul.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 07 2026

We all like this one.

Rio by Duran Duran
May 08 2026

For an era where the music was pretty bad this is actually a cut above the usually 80's crap.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
May 09 2026

She could definitely sing but I ain't listening to 3 hours of this.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
May 10 2026

Some good musicianship, good blusey guitar in the background of some of the songs. But mostly music for pixies to dance to.

Metallica by Metallica
May 12 2026

One of the best metal albums of all time. Every song is a belter. Top production too.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 13 2026

Surprising pleasant.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 15 2026

It's good, it's Massive Attack.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
May 16 2026

Pleasant enough but her voice does grate on me after a while.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 18 2026

I know and like this album cos I have it. Proper diRty and grungy. Teresa's sound garden is a cracking tune.

Goo by Sonic Youth
May 20 2026

It's alright but two sonic youth albums in two days is a bit much for anyone.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 23 2026

Easy listening sparkly soul. Nothing really stood out but I enjoyed it.

Timeless by Goldie
May 24 2026

Never been into drum and bass and it was listenable.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
May 25 2026

All right, definitely of an era. Couple of good songs though.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 27 2026

Bit of top quality disco.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
May 29 2026

I'd forgotten just how much this woman's voice annoys me. Utter drivel.

May 30 2026

I think it would have been a 5 but I didn't like some of the songs on second half, so 4.5 stars from me. His voice has a resonance and pathos that comes with age and experience much like David Bowie's in later years.

May 31 2026

Dodgy 80s drums, synths and voice filter. Has not aged well. I'm not sure there was many songs, it just sounded like a dirty noise.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jun 01 2026

Her voice is good, that's it.

The Band by The Band
Jun 02 2026

Nothing too bad, easy listening, a couple of the songs I knew.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 04 2026

Massive long album. A bit too sprawling for me but there was some standout tracks.

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Jun 05 2026

What the hell is this album doing on this list? It ain't just Canada that's board! Utter drivel. It's like the big bang theory cast got keyboards from Argos during lock down and this is what they came up with.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 06 2026

I know this is cheesy, operatic and overblown but the songs are so well crafted and sung. I'm was torn between a 4.5 and 5 stars but 43 million copies sold tells a tale.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jun 07 2026

Didn't really grab me, just nice funky background music.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jun 09 2026

I do like some Who, but this just seemed a bit flat.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jun 13 2026

Excellent album. Closer to 5 stars than 4,so that's wot it's getting.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Jun 15 2026

This was a disjointed mess. Another one of those joke albums that are on here. Painful! Sounds a bit like Johnny Cash/Nick Cave but not as good.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jun 16 2026

Actually better than I thought it was going to be. Quite blusey in places.

GI by Germs
Jun 18 2026

Everyone knows not to give children with ADHD Red Bull. Don't worry, they'll be alright when they've run it off. Shite.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 19 2026

Not heard this before but I enjoyed it. Quite laid back.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jun 20 2026

Very nice.

Slayed? by Slade
Jun 21 2026

Not brilliant but listenable.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Jun 22 2026

Not too bad, a bit blusey.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jun 23 2026

The second song summed it up, fertiliser! Whiney drivel, it's not even music.

Jun 24 2026

Pleasant enough but very bland. Plus I is from the ghetto so this LA rich chick music is not my scene, man.

Signing Off by UB40
Jun 26 2026

Love this one. It reminds me of my childhood, growing up with its socially relevant songs. Had this as an album and a CD. Love the bass and the dub. I'm gonna ignore the cover of strange fruit - no one else should be allowed to do it after Billie Holiday sung that.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jul 01 2026

Some kind of weird psychodelic folk rock. I expected to not like it but some songs really drew me in. Shame about his voice though. Like a cross between Jodi Mitchell and the Velvet Underground.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 02 2026

A couple of good songs

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 03 2026

Half and half, good songs and fillers.

The Doors by The Doors
Jul 04 2026

It's a 5 despite The Alabama Song!

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jul 05 2026

Not too bad but not quite as good as some of their albums.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 06 2026
The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jul 07 2026

Decent album, chugs along nicely, could do with a bit of trimming though.

Jul 08 2026

I don't normally like rap, but I always had a bit of a soft spot for this album.

Odelay by Beck
Jul 09 2026

Funky, groovy and rocky. Bit of a classic.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jul 14 2026
Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 16 2026

Really enjoyed this

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jul 17 2026

Short, sweet and to the point. I've heard worse.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 18 2026

Better than the last couple of Beatles albums, some nice songs on here. Some crap ones too, mind.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 20 2026

So bland it actually started to annoy me.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 21 2026

Blooming funktastick.

The Score by Fugees
Jul 23 2026

Above average rap/hip hop. Made better by a sprinkling of Lauren Hill.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 24 2026

I liked time out but found the rest very samey.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jul 25 2026

Grungetastic

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jul 26 2026

Instantly forgettable 80s bland pop

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jul 28 2026

It takes a while to get into, but once you do, you realise it's probably a work of genius.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 29 2026

Not bad but a bit too experimental in places for me.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Jul 31 2026

I do like his voice but I thought these songs were not the best.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 01 2026

Not the best bit of Britpop, only one good song and that's about it. He did sound a bit like Mick Jagger on a couple of songs though, so that's in his favour.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Aug 02 2026

Some cracking songs on this one, love the guitar sound too. Love the attitude too.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Aug 04 2026

I didn't dislike it but it was very middle of the road. If Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty had a love child, this is what their kid would sound like.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 05 2026

Quality grunge. 4.5

Soul Mining by The The
Aug 07 2026

OK but preferred Mind Bomb.

Dare! by The Human League
Aug 09 2026

Crap in the 80's and it definitely hasn't got any better. I've got 80's PTSD.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Aug 11 2026

They've written better stuff than wots on this album.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Aug 12 2026

Psycho killer is a classic, the rest, not so.

Green by R.E.M.
Aug 15 2026

A couple of good songs.

Skylarking by XTC
Aug 17 2026

Dear God I liked, the rest, what's this album doing on this list.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Aug 18 2026

This I enjoyed. A good 3.5.
