Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 30 2026

Great bassline on Freddie’s Dead, hadn’t remembered No Thing on Me and enjoyed that.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Feb 02 2026
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 13 2026

Plenty Nonsense a highlight. Could have been 30 mins shorter though.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 17 2026
Woodface by Crowded House
Feb 18 2026

Started ok, got worse, ended up bored

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Feb 20 2026

Enjoyed, except for rhyming monkey and funky

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 23 2026

4 star if it ended with Crow Jane

Tommy by The Who
Feb 24 2026

Abject.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens

A nice album. Good with a biscuit on a Sunday afternoon.

Better than Tommy

Feb 27 2026
Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Mar 06 2026

Enjoyed the first half

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Mar 09 2026

Fine but a bit flimsy

Drunk by Thundercat
Mar 11 2026

Extra star for artwork and being a bit mad

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Mar 16 2026

Bumped up by Lucretia (especially long version) and This Corrosion.

Mar 21 2026

One all-timer, another very good song (‘39), and quite a bit of filler. But creative and weird enough to warrant a 4.

D by White Denim
Mar 23 2026
Zombie by Fela Kuti
Mar 24 2026
Arise by Sepultura
Mar 27 2026
Green by R.E.M.
Mar 28 2026
Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 30 2026

A fun album but pretty disposable and tails off a bit

xx by The xx
Apr 19 2026
Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Apr 23 2026

Scrapes a low three with a couple of good songs near the end

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 26 2026

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 02 2026

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
May 12 2026

Not sure it’s an album, but it’s a 5⭐️ few hours.

Be by Common
May 28 2026
Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 29 2026
Different Class by Pulp
Jun 16 2026

The high points justify a 4. Inconsistent but when it’s great it’s great.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Jun 17 2026

Felt almost deliberately terrible.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 21 2026
Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 25 2026

Jun 26 2026
LP1 by FKA twigs
Jul 03 2026
Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 04 2026
Leftism by Leftfield
Jul 16 2026

Think this caught me grumpy after a World Cup game, but I didn’t need 70 mins of inessential 90s dance.

Blur by Blur
Jul 19 2026
Dookie by Green Day
Aug 03 2026
