Popular Reviews

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

A nice listen, it has some good lyrics and imagery being created with them. Very 60s audio styles which is to be expected

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

Another album I can fully respect, and vibes with the first half, but the second half of the album dropped for me.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks

Direct, to the point. Classic punk.

1-Star Albums (7)

All Ratings (138)

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jan 19 2026

Didn't have a high expectations, but it was very chilled. Felt like it eluded to wanting to be chill trance or island vibe but didn't take it there. Not offended but probably won't return for another listen or investigate Radiohead more.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 20 2026

Knew alot more billy Joel than I thought! A nice album, very time defining, storytelling aspect with imagery was cleveley done

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 21 2026

Loved. Knew the big ones, let's get crazy and purple rain. I get the sexual liberation of Prince now. Always knew of him as an icon but this is hot. If I was 22 in the clubs when these tracks were on, this would have been anthemic. Will absolutely be returning to this album.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 22 2026

Had never heard of Yes, and not mad about it. Very instrumental and has those high builds into a soft landing. Not my kinda vibe but I imagine if you like king gizzard etc this is probably your kinda thing

Fragile by Yes
Jan 23 2026

No. I got two yes albums in a row and I tried, I really tried. Very instrumental heavy and I get it's a story telling album, but I couldn't really get into the story because I was just so relieved to hear lyrics. Again, if you like long instrumentals and clever storytelling through sound, this is for you. Just not for me

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jan 26 2026

A live jazz album would never have been something I would have gravitated towards. I listened to it as background and enjoyed the experience, it was comforting and easy. Not mad about it but would only listen to again as a background dinner music kind of vibe

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 27 2026

Classic. I really enjoyed this album, obviously knew the big tracks like walk this way and it's tricky. You can tell how it set up the genre and remains influential.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jan 28 2026

I enjoyed this album so much, and I'd never heard of the saints. Some of the lyrics haven't aged well, but it's not aggressive. Classic punk of that era with the perfect Australian vibe. Definitely revisit this one

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 29 2026

I can absolutely appreciate this album and massive attack as setting the basework for what the world has in electronic music and how it's developed as a genre. I would probably return to this album but wouldn't be annoyed if it was on in the background

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jan 30 2026

Complex structure of the album and I'm guessing that the style of playing means something to people who understand instruments. Wasn't grabbed by it, I found the style slightly annoying and trying to be more

Melodrama by Lorde
Feb 02 2026

Loved melodrama. I wasn't on the Lorde train when she first appeared on the scene, but actually went back to here around 2024 and appreciated solar power. I was happy melodrama came up, as it made me listen to it fully and I adore this album. Her writing is so adult that it reflects on the naivety of being young but how the feelings are powerful. This album made me nostalgic but also thankful for being in my 30s, a totally different understanding and appreciation of this album in 2026.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 04 2026

I was excited for a Doors album, always a band you hear off but I haven't actually listed to. I enjoyed it and likes the lyrics. Alot of that keyboard vibe that by today's standards is reminiscent of carnivals, but very 70s aesthetic.

Feb 05 2026

I enjoyed this, but not overly. It had the classic 70s long instrumental and soft vocal elements that I don't particularly enjoy. But it was a calming album and was pleasant

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 06 2026

I liked this album, nick cave is again someone I've always know about but never really listed too. Very strong lyrics to create imagery

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 10 2026

Screeching guitar instrumentals with the occasional piano smash

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 11 2026

A nice listen, it has some good lyrics and imagery being created with them. Very 60s audio styles which is to be expected

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Feb 13 2026

I enjoyed this. Still had the excessive length with no lyrics that is standard for the era.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 16 2026

Loved this.

The Score by Fugees
Feb 17 2026

This is one of those albums that we all know but I hadn't listed, so I'm thrilled I finally did. You can see the influence it has had to modern time. A nice listen with thoughtful lyrics and clever references

Scum by Napalm Death
Feb 18 2026

I love a deep slow bass as much as anyone. But a bit too heavy on the vocals for my vibe

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 19 2026

Another album I recognise the cover off but never listened to. Ideal city summer album and very obviously an influence

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 20 2026

I really enjoyed this. Very chilled..not mad

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Feb 23 2026

Makes me feel like im in a dentist waiting room. Maybe I'm not smart enough, but Radiohead grates on me and this album is the personification of annoyance.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Feb 24 2026

I forgot about this album and probably haven't listened since 2001. Very era defining at its time, holds up as a good rock album

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Feb 25 2026

I forgot all about N.E.R.D. This album is great, it's smooth, lyrical and cleverly written.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Feb 27 2026

I really enjoyed this album, I thought it was going to go into a full country vibez but it was more influenced.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 02 2026

An album cover we all know. I really liked this album, it was clever, easy to listen to and warming

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 03 2026

Did not think I would enjoy this and I did. I've never been on the Bowie train, respect him and what he done, but it just never resonated with me. But I liked this

Mar 04 2026

I had no idea what to expect from this album and the doves and I enjoyed for the most part. Some tracks were a bit slower with dragged vocals which wasn't my favourites but all in all. I enjoyed

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Mar 05 2026

Has Kate bush grown on me with age? I enjoyed this, album it was more pop esque than I expected. I might go on a Kate bush binge and check out all albums

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Mar 06 2026

I remember when this first came out and didn't really get the hype. But I was 13. But, nah still not for me. I like the idea of the blend of genre that they do but just doesn't work for me

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 09 2026

Loves this. I obviously know the clash, but not their debut album. Classic punk and the setting for the genre as we know today. Real, authentic, and still relevant

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 10 2026

Obviously I know who Bruce Springsteen is. I was quite surprised by this album. I assumed his albums would be all filler, but I enjoyed this album. Keen to listen this other albums now

Among The Living by Anthrax
Mar 11 2026

Not what I expect at all. I don't know why I had the idea that anthrax were much heavier on the scream bandwagon, but this grabbed me in.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Mar 12 2026

I wanted to like this. But no, it's kinda like what inspired bevis and butthead.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Mar 13 2026

I was surprised this was 1988, has a sound that I associate with the 90's scene. It was an ok listen, not really my vibe and found it slightly boring, felt like a rebranding of the 70s punk scene

Mar 16 2026

I went in open minded. I have always found the Beatles annoying and just never got them. Fully appreciate what they done and understand the cultural significance that they have. But i found this just like a child's drawing where they found instruments unique to other cultures and threw them in to sound quirky. Again, i understand that this was the first time it was done so get the hype, but just not for me

Mar 17 2026

I really enjoyed this. Of course I know who ray Charles is, but this really got me good. The way his sound relaxes your mind but also hits on an emotional level. Stunning album

Teen Dream by Beach House
Mar 18 2026

I'm surprised I wasn't on this in 2010 as it was very much me at the time. It very much fills that post pop punk into indie popularity time. Absolutely can see this on the One Tree Hill soundtrack which is a compliment in my end. Didn't hit as much as I wanted it too, but still a good album

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Mar 19 2026

Again, we all know Led Zeppelin, but I had never listed to a full album. It was good, not elated by it nor wanting to listen to their back catalogue.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Mar 20 2026

It was very reminiscent of the Beatles. Wasn't for me

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 23 2026

I thought I would hate this, but I enjoyed the listen. I didn't feel that I actively engaged or resonated, but it was nice

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Mar 25 2026

Didn't really know what I would get from Paul Simons first album, but I was not mad at it. It was pleasant soft rock/pop. Kind of comfortable with it in any scenario.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Mar 27 2026

Too slow for my vibe

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 30 2026

I did enjoy this album. It has that era defining sound that we all know, but as with the time I find the long instrumentals a bit much

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 31 2026

I don't mind this album, but just not one I'd return too.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 01 2026

Did not hate this album. Some slightly slower songs that didn't relate with me, but also some really good tracks

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Apr 02 2026

I hated this. I knew off one or two songs, but it was clinky clanky (best way I can describe). I understand why it might be people's vibe, it has the mellow somber vibe, but the strange instrument interruptions made it weird for me.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 03 2026

I enjoyed this album without fully feeling invited or invested into it. Jimi doesn't do the long unnecessary instrumentals that were indicative of the time which I enjoy. And as always that voice, effortlessly powerful

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Apr 06 2026

I really wanted to like this, but found it kinda boring. Gothy elements with a EDM base on paper is what I would love.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 07 2026

I was always going to enjoy a Bob Marley and The Wailers album. It's the most relaxing sounds and his voice makes it smooth. It didn't grab my attention too much but did not dislike

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Apr 08 2026

When I seen it was an hour long with only 10 songs I was sceptical. The first track is about 1 minute 30, so I was correct. Alot of unnecessary synonyms and metaphors that appear deep and meaningful but don't pack any depth. Not for me

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Apr 09 2026

So I never knew that Johnny Rotten made a new band after sex pistols. Who knew, apparently everyone. The first couple of tracks I was unsure, it did go a bit to the avante garde with a nod to punk, which I guess was the plan, the second half of the album was alot more of what I wanted from 70s punk.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Apr 10 2026

Loved this. Always knew off the go gos but hadn't really. Did not realise Belinda Carlisle was the lead vocals but they have that edgy pink vibe especially within the female punk space whilst also having that southern Californian / Australian coast beach vibe.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 13 2026

Marvins voice is always going to soothe and take you to a calm melodic place. This album does that to perfection and there's a reason he is still renowned today. Beautiful album

Smash by The Offspring
Apr 14 2026

Slightly bias as this album holds alot of nostalgia for me. However I did try and stay critical and still think it's an amazing album. It has the quintessential Californian punk scene sound with fun but compelling lyrics.

Apr 15 2026

I really struggled with this. The second half of the album was slightly better but I found it frustrating to listen too and can't really say why. It was almost like they were trying to modernise the Beatles and I don't like the Beatles.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Apr 16 2026

I did not expect to enjoy this but I did. I don't think I'll return to it but enjoyed my time with it

Apr 17 2026

I loved this. Obviously know free bird, but this entire album was soulful, warming and fun. Definitely will be back to this

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 20 2026

I really enjoyed this, and didn't think I would. Obviously I know born in the USA and glory days, but every track was good and also knowing the standing of Bruce Springsteen and his values his lyrics are even more poignant.

Dookie by Green Day
Apr 21 2026

Slight bias as this album holds alot of nostalgia for me. But still this album holds up exceptionally well, it's clever, heartfelt, era defining and just all around pure joy to Listen too.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 22 2026

I was raised on this album so it was a re listen but this time as an active listen. There is a reason this band and this album is genre and era defining. It holds up and is amazing classic rock

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 23 2026

Genuinely surprised but how good this was. Always known of slipknot but never really got into them. However this album is really good, it's passionate, political and punchy without preaching.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Apr 24 2026

In all honesty I expected to be grabbed by this album way more. I didn't dislike it at all, it just didn't really hit me

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Apr 28 2026

I enjoyed this, and can totally feel how good it would have been to see thin Lizzy live.

Apr 29 2026

I can understand the legacy of Fatboy slim, and this album is not offensive in anyway. I just found it slightly boring

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 30 2026

Didn't really engage me

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
May 01 2026

One of the most annoying things I've ever experienced

Disintegration by The Cure
May 04 2026

Nice album, thought I would have liked it more

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 06 2026

Meh. I can get the foundational nees this has

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
May 07 2026

Long instrumentals. Boring lyrics

Another Green World by Brian Eno
May 08 2026

It's the 70s, it's long instrumentals. Bad lyrics but this one has a synth

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 11 2026

A nice enough listen. Didn't thrill me, but understand their influence on rock and progressive.

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 12 2026

I wanted to like this alot more than I did. Just didn't hit

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 14 2026

Didn't have high hopes as I judged by the name of the band. But I liked this, it was bop esque, chill lyrics and a good time

May 15 2026

Old school crowd screaming was so good in this live. James Browns voice ... C'mon now. This is a good album and a fun listen,

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 18 2026

The respect we all should have for iron maiden was clearly created in this album. Although it's not my favourite genre of album, the influence this has clearly has on the world's is in matched

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
May 19 2026

I actually forgot how much I enjoy the foo fighters. I don't think I've actually listened to this album all the way through before. I enjoyed it, soulful rock music with a comforting vibe

Quiet Life by Japan
May 20 2026

It's cool to hear the shift from the distinctly 70s as it blends into the distinctly 80s. It was just a bit slow for my taste

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
May 21 2026

I actually enjoyed this album and didn't think I would. It's just the classic rock vibe

Metallica by Metallica
May 22 2026

It's a staple of a genre and entire movement. It was always going to be a decent listen

Garbage by Garbage
May 26 2026

I don't know why I never went back to Garbage. I love a female 90s grunge vocal and I did not appreciate this enough until now. Loved it

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 28 2026

Love, respect and ideal entry. But the usual 70s long instrumentals. But my god the lyrics.

Jun 01 2026

This was more of what I thought about REM compared to another album I listened to. I find it decent and has its place and need in the world, but just slightly bland

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jun 02 2026

I like the classic 90s vibe as a background vibe. Not mad in any way

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jun 03 2026

So I listened to this album on a train in winter during heavy rain storm. So the vibes were immaculate for this album. I don't know if that added to my like of this, I never thought I'd like Morrissey but I might even return to this

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 04 2026

I like the lyrical stylings of the smiths, of course we all respect that. But they don't stick with me and make me have the feels, which is somewhat unfortunate. I think I may revisit the smiths every 5 years and see if they resonate with age? Or maybe I needed to listen younger.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 05 2026
Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jun 08 2026

I know the historical significance of this album. It's a great listen, but I would like it in a dimly lit bar if I was going to revisit

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 09 2026

I loved this. It was clever, joyful, and had the essence of Americana before it went to crap.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jun 10 2026

The first track does not set this album up for success but it blends into an alright album. I was a bit bored though

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jun 11 2026

It was an ok listen, forgot how many big songs they actually had

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jun 12 2026

Classic 70s. Lots of potential, but just overdone instrumentals and bad lyrics

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 15 2026

Another album I can fully respect, and vibes with the first half, but the second half of the album dropped for me.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 16 2026

I liked it, I don't want to because he creeps me out. But I enjoyed it

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jun 17 2026

I really wanted to like sonic youth. I have a weird memory of everyone speaking about them when I was a kid and it being like a rebel thing to like them. But, no, it's that 90s non grunge scene but I found it more screechy and unstructured than a new era

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 18 2026

Obviously I knew a design for life and knew off the manic Street preachers, but again one that I've never really listened to. But I really enjoyed this album, the lead vocals are wonderfully raspy rock without losing control. Will definately be back

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jun 19 2026

I was not captured by this album at all. It just kinda passed by me as background noise

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jun 22 2026

Didn't really resonate with me

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 23 2026

I had very low expectations. A flute the 70s, it did not appeal. However was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the album

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jun 25 2026

Direct, to the point. Classic punk.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jun 29 2026

Nice little jazzy listen. Id enjoy again with a bourbon and dim lighting

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jul 01 2026

We all know it. It's a perfect pop album. I listened to it critically this time and it's still a great pop album. Slightly tales of in the mid so it doesn't get 5. But still a classic

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 02 2026

So boring I have uo

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 16 2026

Way more chilled than I expected.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jul 17 2026

This was very pleasant with some great lyrics and vibe.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jul 20 2026

I never have any hope when an albums from the 70s, but I was pleasantly surprised by this. Very calming and deep.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 21 2026

I knew this album from nostalgia as I was pretty much raised on it. It still holds up as an excellent album today

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jul 23 2026

I totally forgot about this band. This album is decent, but I don't know if it's just nostalgia for that time.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jul 24 2026

We all know who Def Leppard are, but I did not know how good this album was. I loved it, it classic rock as expected but also so modern and has absolutely held up

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 27 2026

Chill, deep, classic

Jul 28 2026

There is a reason this album is known and respected globally. Perfect writing soul filling sound

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jul 29 2026

I enjoyed the way this made me feel even though I can't speak the language

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jul 30 2026

I really liked the idea of what this album was going to be. It just didn't hit the way I wanted it too for me

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jul 31 2026

I liked this, but I wanted to like it more. The first half of the album was great, then I took a turn to being experimental almost, but with no major impact

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Aug 03 2026

I was excited to listen to this, they are a band I've always known off but never listed too. It was however not for me, I found it slow and not engaging and then a random religious element to it out of nowhere. Not my vibe

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Aug 05 2026

A nice surprise. I remember when royksopp appeared and the song poor leno and I hated it at the time. I was not looking forward to this but my ear has developed and actually enjoyed the listen. I still did not like poor leno but the album as a whole is good

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Aug 06 2026

Well. Didn't know what to expect but a cabaret good time was not it. But I enjoyed

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Aug 07 2026

This was so far from what I expected from an Alice cooper album. Melodic and chilled with a base of rock. I enjoyed it

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Aug 10 2026

This was a pretty decent listen. I always feel this vibe doesn't really peak and is more mellow than what I want from electronic/dance music

Is This It by The Strokes
Aug 11 2026

Obviously knew the singles from the time. But I enjoyed the album as a whole. Nothing major that makes me want to re listen but I liked it

Aug 12 2026

Did everyone just experiment with screechy things in the 60s. I liked the idea of all of this, it just got irritating though

American Gothic by David Ackles
Aug 13 2026

So I really liked the start of this album and was like ok this is new and I'm into it. It then took a sharp religious preachy turn that became infuriating
