Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 04 2026
We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 05 2026

Love the first track but as an album I found the listening experience cloying and one-note and therefore struggled through - surprised myself with this rating not being higher!

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Mar 06 2026

Adore Joan Armatrading and thought this would be a 5, maybe just my mood on the day made it a 4??

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Mar 08 2026

First time listening to Led Zepp ever. Like Battle of Evermore and Stairway to Heaven. Levee ok. Don't like Tolkein or screeching though. Headache land

Mar 09 2026

Harmonica torture hell. Except for Masters of War, which I liked. Not enough for a star though

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Mar 13 2026

I wasn't alive when this was out but being a fan of raves, Dance Dance Revolution, funfairs & Queen Latifah, this album lights up pleasure centers in my brain

Mar 14 2026

Don't think I'll ever be a Dylan fan but Subterranean Homesick Blues was fun and already better than anything on Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. I do like Mr. Tambourine Man despite harmonica. Didn't hate Gates of Eden but I think it could have done without harmonica. Liked It's Alright Ma (no/minimal harmonica?) By the end of this my fist was clenching every time the harmonica played, not good for my PTSD

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Mar 15 2026

So glad the album is over and I never have to listen to it again

evermore by Taylor Swift
Mar 16 2026

Not enjoyed a Taylor album since 2017's 'reputation' cause I like her poppier, livelier songs... if I want folky vibes I'm not listening to Taylor sorry lol. I like 'gold rush' & 'no body, no crime'. Taylor sounds 10000% better when she sings in lower register, I usually like high-pitch female vocals but she just doesn't have the voice for it. Worked well as mindless background music ig??

Transformer by Lou Reed
Mar 17 2026

So so good. Never heard the first 2 songs before but instant favs. And this album contains 2 of my all-time fav songs (Perfect Day and Satellite of Love) so it was starting off well. Surprised I've never listened through the album before. Make Up is creepy ("slick little girl" vom) but I can forgive it.

Mar 18 2026

Prefer my metal slower, more melodic, and less... thrashy, maybe? That said I'm on the intro to Good Mourning right now and I'm jelling with this. Okay, now it's super fast again and I'm like, ow, headache. I think this is just very not for me.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Mar 19 2026

I hate live albums but this is Good??? I don't even mind the screaming. It's moody and proggy and I'm digging it. Okay but this drum solo is too long.

Mar 20 2026

Sorry but the first four Coldplay albums are a 5/5 for me. Fave tracks: Warning Sign (it was in a Buffy episode!) and God Put a Smile upon Your Face. Not actually bothered about Clocks. I feel the need to give excuses for my lack of dislike... Its good music to write to, y'know?

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 22 2026

I get the importance of this but I think I just have to accept that jazz is not my thing. Annoyingly, cause my name is literally Jazz. I had to accept recently that magical realism is not my thing in literature. Glad that Magical Realism is not my middle name at least.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Mar 23 2026

Love Madness but had to thumbs up the review that said, "Every song is like a theme tune for a slapstick villain"... That's exactly why I like it

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Mar 24 2026

Enjoying this a lot more than the live album. Highway Star is great. I only knew Smoke on the Water before this

American Gothic by David Ackles
Mar 30 2026

Enjoyed every song apart from the second one

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 31 2026

Feels very 'X Factor' era to me

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Apr 01 2026

I liked this, for my sins

Marquee Moon by Television
Apr 02 2026

This v good. Like a Strokes I like better

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 03 2026

Woah, this is up my street

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 04 2026
Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Apr 05 2026

Very annoying sound effects / audio clips that mean I skip about 3 songs due to autistic annoyance

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Apr 06 2026

I'm only 3 songs in and I'm rating this a 5 already

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Apr 09 2026
Guero by Beck
Apr 10 2026
C'est Chic by CHIC
Apr 11 2026

Only really liked Le Freak and I Want Your Love. Others I found irritating - Chic Cheer, Savoir Faire, At Last I Am Free and Sometimes You Win. I consider myself a fan of disco, but maybe I'm not since I'm giving this such a low rating?!

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Apr 13 2026

I kept thinking "I just have to be in the right mood for this one" but the right mood never came so I gotta go with my mood. Probably would be good music to have a mental breakdown to so will update my rating if that happens

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 14 2026

I just think that since I'm vegan I should at least gain the privilege of not listening to this album ever again

May 01 2026

Despite being an XTC fan, I hadn't heard this before so I figured it'd be a 4 star, but this is 5 star - all bangers!
