Popular Reviews

- Some enjoyable songs, although Cobain's voice can be a bit grating at times - I definitely prefer the acoustic rendition of their songs

All Ratings (52)

Jan 07 2026

Mostly forgettable songs, only really Killer Queen stands out

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jan 13 2026

- Interesting musical concepts and melodies - Not really background listening, needs proper focus

25 by Adele
Jan 14 2026
Sulk by The Associates
Jan 15 2026

- Really screechy and annoying to listen to! - Struggled to get to the end of most songs

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 10 2026

A nice mix of blues & rock

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 15 2026

- Pretty iconic album - Not really any duds, maybe the only forgettable song is Songbird - The Chain

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Mar 18 2026

- A bit too slow and acoustic for my taste - Revelator gives Crosby, Stills, Nash vibes, I like the minor key - Would fit well in Fallout

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Mar 20 2026

- Some songs are okay (Melody Lee, Noise Noise Noise) but a lot of it isn't too melodic and blurs together - Mixing is very muddy - a lot going on and all competing to be the loudest

Mar 21 2026

- A bit all over the place tonally - Obviously some iconic songs there, a lot of others are fairly forgettable and downright odd

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Mar 22 2026

- Interesting blend of jazz fusion, a bit of reggae, and some afro jazz

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 23 2026

- Surprisingly quite a lot of country-style music - Mostly forgettable, apart from the first and last song which are classics and elevate the album

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 24 2026

- The humming/vocalising is very distracting when it appears. - Other than that, very impressive, especially reading the history of this performance and how much was improvised.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 25 2026

- Not really a Michael Jackson fan

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Mar 26 2026

- Pretty nice background listening - Nothing really stood out (in a good or bad way)

Sheet Music by 10cc
Mar 27 2026

- Very strange songs on here, more like a weird musical than an album

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Mar 28 2026

- Packed with iconic songs, only three I didn't recognise - Slightly strange to have one live rendition of a song

Wild Gift by X
Mar 30 2026

- Pretty tough to listen to - Just noisy, screechy, not my cup of tea

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Mar 31 2026

- Nice upbeat music - Some of it is quite grating, almost like carnival music

Apr 01 2026

- Some enjoyable songs, although Cobain's voice can be a bit grating at times - I definitely prefer the acoustic rendition of their songs

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Apr 02 2026

- Too slow for my liking - Crooning and not very melodic, not to my taste at all!

Metallica by Metallica
Apr 04 2026

- Not really my cup of tea, but not completely terrible - There's some melody and enjoyable parts of songs

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 07 2026

- Chill, easy listening, if a bit forgettable

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 11 2026

- I'm really not a Prince fan, couldn't make it through the album!

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Apr 12 2026

- One of the all time greats in my opinion, easily in my top 10. - Great feeling of presence and grandeur

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Apr 13 2026

- A little big forgettable - Psycho Killer is a classic

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Apr 14 2026

- Nice and chill lounge - Quite fun to hear mess ups and audience interaction

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Apr 23 2026

- Quite weird, seems to be telling a story of war and England, but not really enjoyable to listen to

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
May 05 2026

- Nice and jazzy, if a little discordant at times

xx by The xx
May 12 2026

- Chill, quiet listening - The album felt quite short and kind of forgettable, apart from the first song

John Prine by John Prine
May 13 2026

- Very country, quite odd, comical songs - Kind of like Gilbert O'Sullivan

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
May 22 2026

Worth it for part 4

War by U2
May 23 2026

- Some classics, but a bit forgettable otherwise

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 26 2026

Not really for me

Document by R.E.M.
May 30 2026

- I'm a fan of REM so probably quite biased - A few great hits, the majority are decent but not overly memorable on first listen.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jun 03 2026

- Couldn't do it, sorry

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jun 16 2026

- Good to listen to, a really magnificent voice - Some songs are fun and feel quite modern
