Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jan 21 2026

Good vibe and his voice is great, unfortunately not 5 stars, it got a bit same-y in my opinion. Really good album otherwise.

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 22 2026

Very relaxing production. A couple misses on the album stops it from being 4. Good album.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 23 2026

Masterpiece. One of the most powerful and moving voices I've heard. Four Women is phenomenal. Easy 5 stars.

Jan 24 2026

Maybe I just wasn't feeling it but this album is just so mid. Firstly it's 2 hours long and there's a ton of filler, and secondly the high points aren't even that high. Aquemini and Stankonia are better.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 25 2026

Pretty solid 4 stars. Great songs with a melancholy vibe. Student Demonstration is stupidly out of place in the album but I quite like the song by itself.

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 26 2026

Great album, not too much to say here. If I listened to it a bit more it might end up being 5 stars but hey ho

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 27 2026

This has been one of my favourite albums for a while, absolute classic

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jan 28 2026

It's difficult to express how much I dislike this album. Fuck me its so bad. I saw the cult following this had in the reviews, and I wanted to like it, but it just sounds like they just grabbed some crackhead off the street and forced him to "sing" over some great rock. If Serj Tankian wasn't born this would be a great album. Ruined my day

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jan 29 2026

Good but nothing special

New Forms by Roni Size
Jan 30 2026

I don't really listen to DnB but this was pretty good. I don't get the hate

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jan 31 2026

This is surprisingly good. It feels like a blend of blues and rock

Feb 01 2026

This was a really good album. Lovely voice and a breath of fresh air from the boring stuff I've been getting recently

xx by The xx
Feb 03 2026

Nice ambience but a bit plain for my liking. Good album

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Feb 04 2026

I skipped most of the album as it was just reissue tracks, but the original 10 songs were really good. Very unique

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Feb 05 2026

Metals not my thing but this was quite good.

Feb 06 2026

Boring. Not sure why they're trying to be so silly and whimsical, I don't really get it. It'd probably be a better listen if you were insanely high

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 07 2026

Unexpectedly amazing. It's time like these I wish I understood Spanish. The whole thing oozes soul Edit - listened to this half a month ago now, just found out Willie Colon died a couple days ago. RIP

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Feb 09 2026

This was quite enjoyable. It has a very folk feel, very unique. I was tempted to give this a 4 but it just about doesn't make it for me.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 10 2026

Peak

My Generation by The Who
Feb 11 2026

This was quite fun, trailed off a bit at the end

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Feb 15 2026

I expected to hate this, but this was genuinely really good. I was tempted to give this a 4 but I need to keep my rankings consistent.

Feb 17 2026

This has been heavy in rotation on my playlist for years. An absolute classic, a must listen for anyone who even slightly likes hip-hop.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Feb 18 2026

Couldn't be bothered to listen to the full 2 hours, but from what I did listen to, this album is quite good. A bit hit and miss but I'm sure this is a wet dream for any psychedelic rock fan. Being high would improve this

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 20 2026

I was excited when I saw this pop up on the day, and rightfully so because holy shit, this thing was amazing. It has an atmosphere unlike any I've heard before.

Feb 22 2026

I don't know how to feel about this. It's very rich and interesting but is a bit harsh on the ears at times. Very mixed feelings between 3 and 4. Broken Heart is a beautiful track.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Feb 24 2026

I quite liked this, nothing crazy about it though. Not really my style.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 01 2026

The generator has been cooking recently. This is probably the most accessible album I've had so far - literally anyone could listen to this and say its a 10/10. Amazing songs front to back

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 03 2026

This was amazing. The music itself is phenomenal. I read a bit into them, and now their message is even more profound to me. This album carries the legacy of their homeland, despite the oppression and the upheaval caused by the MNLA and Ansar Dine. Unquestionably a 5/5

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 04 2026

I loved the live audience and his interactions with them, and the lyricism is so raw. Bit old timey for me though.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 07 2026

Can't believe I haven't listened to these guys before. I love the chaos

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 13 2026

This was a pleasant surprise. Really good

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Mar 20 2026

I'm starting to think it might be impossible for Brazilian jazz to be bad.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 21 2026

This was great fun. Sounded a lot like the studio kept getting overrun by chimps, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
