Popular Reviews

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen doing a Louis Armstrong impression - sweet. Joking aside, the voice is super distracting from otherwise beautiful songs. Someone get this chap a lozenge

All Ratings (135)

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 11 2026

Michelle is a hidden gem

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 13 2026
Kid A by Radiohead
Mar 17 2026

First song is an all time classic banger. Rest of the album is just a collection of grating noises

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Mar 18 2026

Hidden gem, plenty of songs that I recognised but had no idea who the band was

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Mar 19 2026

Lord no - oddly unclassifiable. Interesting (dated) lyrics but quite unpleasant to listen to the whole album

1977 by Ash
Mar 20 2026

Very boring unremarkable 90s soft rock

Raw Power by The Stooges
Mar 21 2026

I've never really "got" Iggy - the lyrics are great but just not a fan of the sound. I think I'm missing the context that this music was likely novel when it landed.

Skylarking by XTC
Mar 22 2026

Very odd and unique. Some songs sound like theyre straight out of an anime soundtrack. Clearly novel and inspirational to bands that came after.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 24 2026

Much better end to end than Kid A - no song quite as much of a banger as 'everything in its right place' but a far more chilled and enjoyable listen imo

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 25 2026

Quite boring alt grunge not my cuppa

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 29 2026
Wild Gift by X
Mar 30 2026

Cool vibe old school post punk

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 31 2026

So many bangers in one album.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 01 2026

All time classic. Likely my favourite grunge rock album of all time

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 02 2026

Interesting combination of Indian and electronic but the delivery is kinda just boring 90s ambient stuff.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Apr 10 2026

Not even gonna listen I struggled my ass through scott 2

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Apr 12 2026

Amazing musicianship but fuck me 9 minute jam songs are indulgent (and boring)

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 13 2026
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Apr 16 2026

I now know where Danny Elfman got the inspiration for nightmare before christmas

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 21 2026
Faith by George Michael
Apr 23 2026

Good few bangers

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Apr 24 2026

Starts very strong with an all time classic and some bangers. Middle of the album is quite forgettable but it finishes strong

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Apr 25 2026

Leonard Cohen doing a Louis Armstrong impression - sweet. Joking aside, the voice is super distracting from otherwise beautiful songs. Someone get this chap a lozenge
