Popular Reviews

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits

Wow what a WEIRD album! Kinda like it though. Also, the first song is what I imagine Ogres sing in their caves.

1-Star Albums (7)

All Ratings (80)

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 25 2026

Some strong points (E.g. I can't give everything away) but much like Monty Python there is the 'Good' Bowie and the 'Bad' Bowie. This is the bad

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 26 2026
Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 30 2026

Pretty funky start album and different to what I'd usually listen to. Particularly enjoyed the collab with 'The Gaza Sisters' Got a bit boring though and I can't really imagine myself coming back to it in a hurry. 2 stars.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 31 2026

So many huge classics in this Albums. Plus hugely influential for the heavy metal genre.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Apr 01 2026

Boring glam rock. I've committed to listening to all albums in full but this is the first one I've genuinely looked forward to ending.

Apr 02 2026

Waterloo sunset is a lovely song but I found the rest of the album a bit twee and boring.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 03 2026

Started strong but got a bit boring

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 06 2026

Relaxing. I liked it

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Apr 07 2026

Boring and I found the coconut song super annoying

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Apr 08 2026

Really like this album. Consistently good throughout

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Apr 09 2026
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 13 2026

Problematic dude but can't deny how great this album is

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 14 2026

There's something totally unique about the Prodigy. So fun and experimental. I really enjoyed this Album.

Django Django by Django Django
Apr 15 2026

Really enjoyed the first few songs but then found myself losing interest. A little bit long maybe.

Apr 16 2026

This reminded me of the holding music you hear when trying to get hold of your banks call centre.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Apr 17 2026

Surprisingly didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Master of Puppets (the song) was good though.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 20 2026

I somewhat enjoyed listening to this in the background but I found it very unmemorable. I couldn't point out a single song. A bit of a watered down LCD Soundsystem.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Apr 21 2026

Not really my thing. Perhaps nice to have on in the background at a dinner party or playing a board game but I couldn't really get into it just sat at my desk.

Vulnicura by Björk
Apr 22 2026

Found this pretty grating. I like weird but this was too avant garde

Apr 23 2026

OutKast are suuuch a fun band, never get bored of listening to them. So many hits on this album. Only reason it's not a 5 is there's quite a bit of filler and I was struggling to find time to listen to the whole thing all day.

Blur by Blur
Apr 24 2026

Found it pretty unmemorable. Some songs just sounded like noise

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 28 2026

Not listened to much of The Bruce before, but thought this was a fun album.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Apr 29 2026

Wow what a WEIRD album! Kinda like it though. Also, the first song is what I imagine Ogres sing in their caves.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Apr 30 2026

This was such a cool album. I am too sick to get it a proper breakdown but it’s 5 stars from me

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
May 11 2026

Fun listen.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 12 2026

Inoffensive but forgettable

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
May 13 2026

Enjoyable! ‘beautiful’ was in my head all day after this

Sea Change by Beck
May 14 2026

Beck has like one good song and it’s not on this album. Few bits I found enjoyable but mostly a bit disinterested

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 18 2026

Really enjoyed this start to finish. Listened to it multiple times over the weekend. Rare I find I can find an album just to completely switch off to.

With The Beatles by Beatles
May 19 2026

I prefer The Beatles later work when they were all up to their eyeballs on LSD.

Be by Common
May 22 2026
Fragile by Yes
May 25 2026

Some fun songs and you can really see the influence it had on future prod rock.. Little bit long though. Didn’t actually finish it

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 27 2026

I listened to this in full yesterday and can't remember a single thing about it. Which to me shows it's a pretty forgettable / uninteresting album.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 28 2026

The third star is for Come on Eileen. (Also two Dexys Midnight Runners in a row??)

The Poet by Bobby Womack
May 29 2026

Jammed to this. Also dope suit, I want one.

War by U2
Jun 01 2026
Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jun 03 2026

Felt like something they'd play in 'real world' from the Matrix films. Noisy, punky but I weirdly liked it!

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jun 08 2026

Coldplay are a bit wet but there are a few songs on this album I do enjoy. Particularly Trouble.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 09 2026

Despite being pretty long, there's a lot of variation and I really enjoy Billy Corgan's unique vocals. It's 90s grunge I know and love.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jun 10 2026

I like a few of their big hits but I just can’t get into Radiohead

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jun 11 2026

Hated this. Half the songs sounded like Mario Kart music and the rest was boring and drab.

xx by The xx
Jun 16 2026

Not usually my thing but I've always been a big fan of this album. Calming and minimalistic. Opened the door for 'In Colour' as well which was sick.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 17 2026

Some enjoyable tunes in there but I found myself not too enthralled

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 22 2026

Great album! Love Black Sabbath. Not as strong as Paranoid though.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 23 2026

Pretty dull and samey

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jun 24 2026

I know I'll ruffle some feathers with this but I couldn't even finish this album. Found his voice and overuse of harmonica so grating.

Jun 26 2026

The one star is for Tainted Love, the rest is unbearable garbage.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jul 06 2026

A very good album but doesn't quite hit that '5' sweet spot for me. Enjoyed listening to it a few times this weekend though.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 10 2026

Nice refreshing break from 1970s rock

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 14 2026

Just ok. Radiohead have better songs not on this album

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jul 22 2026

I love this album
