Popular Reviews

Elastica by Elastica

A really fun album to listen to, it feels rebellious to me somehow. With a kind of unique electronic rock sound, I personally dont think really understood any of the lyrics but it all had so much feeling that it didn’t matter.

S&M by Metallica

I think I’m inclined to agree with the negative reviews on this. It just doesn’t work for me, the orchestra dilutes Metallica's sound. You almost can’t hear them, it just doesn’t blend. It sounds like a superhero movie soundtrack in a way that doesn’t work.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra

not an enjoyable listen , to me it felt like they were making this album as a prank. Which sounds harsh but I didn’t think this album was great

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett

An incredibly talented man clearly it’s amazing that he can play solo for that long and keep it interesting. For me it was the perfect background music for working, it did feel repetitive at times but it was a beautiful album.

Urban Hymns by The Verve

Some great songs on here, I think it was too consistently melancholy for my taste. But still a good album

Apr 15 2026

A calming and also unsettling listen, music that will lull you into a peaceful place then wake you up to some unique sounds that almost make you uncomfortable. It’s a classic for a reason , with a brilliant sound to it. I can see why this is such a beloved album. Great for all occasions.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Apr 16 2026

A beautiful album, with the most relaxing and summery sound. It made me feel as though I was sat in a cafe in Cuba listening to the Buena Vista Social Club perform live, it’s recorded to have that live feel to it. This is a great great album

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Apr 17 2026

An incredibly talented man clearly it’s amazing that he can play solo for that long and keep it interesting. For me it was the perfect background music for working, it did feel repetitive at times but it was a beautiful album.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 18 2026

any album that starts with a song like wouldn’t it be nice is going to be a good time, I feel like there were a few songs in the middle that didn’t have the strength of that beginning song or sloop John B but it’s still a great album

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Apr 19 2026

My favourite pink Floyd album, a short masterpiece. Every song is perfect, I have listened to this album to fall asleep and also while cooking. It’s great for all occasions! It’s serene and relaxing to listen to

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Apr 20 2026

Two extremely cool guys presenting a brilliant album that has you feeling like you’re deep in Texas , driving a ford pickup and living the dream. Brilliant album with a very cool live track at the end

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 21 2026

Bruce Springsteen is incredibly talented, this album didn’t seem to be my taste though. There were two good songs I really enjoyed but the rest didn’t stand out to me, still a good album though

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Apr 22 2026

beautiful album, genuine emotion and incredible singing. very atmospheric and calming, such smooth notes and music really nice to listen to

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 23 2026

not sure why but this album don’t really connect with me, had a sound overall that I didn’t really like

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 24 2026

an album I had never heard of and it was a pleasant surprise, quirky and eletronic, it was exciting to hear the original song behind heads will roll made me think of project x, it is a satisfyingly melancholy album

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Apr 25 2026

A great album with suprisingly melodic singing for a metal album, satisfying riffs and a well curated album overall

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 26 2026

perfect background music for a weekend morning making pancakes

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 28 2026

I can see why this is a great album but it’s sound just dint connect with me some songs felt a bit chaotic I loved the first and last song on the album but the ones in between didn’t work for me somehow.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Apr 29 2026

Clearly a good album with some powerful meaning behind it, but I just didn’t love the sound and style of it

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Apr 30 2026

Absolute classic, forgot how much I enjoyed grime love this album

May 01 2026

A unique sounding album, my partner loves this which makes me enjoy it even more, some great songs it has a kind of futuristic melancholy feel

Smash by The Offspring
May 02 2026

A great punk album, raucous and humorous with some real emotions too. It’s high energy and fun to listen to, I like it

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
May 04 2026

great background music a unique mix of sounds , felt like I was at an artsy bar.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 05 2026

A fun album with some good songs , some were a bit too screamy for me but it was still good

May 06 2026

One of my favourite albums, love pretty much every song it’s a perfect album. With some real substance and brilliant beats and songs. It’s perfect

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
May 07 2026

not an enjoyable listen , to me it felt like they were making this album as a prank. Which sounds harsh but I didn’t think this album was great

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 08 2026

Goo album but a lot of the songs sounded the same to me it kind of all blended together so nothing stood out

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
May 09 2026

A fun classy album with a great collection of songs for a variety of moods, had to listen to it twice. Suspicious minds is my cliche favourite

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
May 10 2026

Felt a bit like a spoof album didn’t feel well made of creative to me

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
May 11 2026

too artsy of an album for me didn’t feel well made or easy to listen to , just not my taste I think

Ramones by Ramones
May 12 2026

Blitztrieg bop is great but the rest of the album kind of blended together in a raucous way that didn’t really work for me, it’s good but not the best

May 13 2026

this album felt as though it was intentionally made poorly, as a kind of punk statement which I understand was on brand but it just wasn’t an enjoyable listen for me

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
May 14 2026

A really great album, with a strong beginning and a lot of great songs. It almost felt like oasis and blur at the same time, very rock/britpop in the best way

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 15 2026

Very classy sounding album, felt as though I was sat in some atmospheric French cafe

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
May 16 2026

This is the most I have enjoyed Bob Dylan’s music, I admit I’m not usually a fan he’s clearly a talented man this album shows that

Achtung Baby by U2
May 17 2026

A unique sound that felt messy at times but in a nice way, had some songs that got me amped up

Tommy by The Who
May 18 2026

I can tell this is a classic but It just wasn’t really my sound

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
May 19 2026

Not really my sound, but screamy. Had some nice songs and moments though

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
May 20 2026

An extremely pleasant suprise had no idea what to expect and was given a perfect country rock album that felt reminiscent of lynrd skynrd. Really fun listen, with some high energy tracks

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
May 21 2026

Bit too ethereal and sleepy for me, great music but just not my sound

No Other by Gene Clark
May 22 2026

Great album, felt like I was listening to frank Sinatra if he went country. Something like that anyway had fun listening to it

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 23 2026

Incredible start with seven nation army , but the rest of it don’t get me as amped up as I thought it would. To me the other songs didn’t work as well as the first, still a good album

Mask by Bauhaus
May 24 2026

not really my kind of music

Leftism by Leftfield
May 25 2026

A fun and eclectic suprise, a wild mix of what felt like a new kind of old school electronic afro music it was a good time

Queen II by Queen
May 26 2026

A great album but not their best in my opinion, I know that might be controversial I hope it isn’t I love their music but this didn’t feel as consistently good as their others to me

American Idiot by Green Day
May 27 2026

One of my favourite albums ever, so consistently perfect. This album has so many great songs, it’s also nostalgic for me as well as it being an objectively great album. I was very excited to see this pop up as my album of the day. They represent punk perfectly, with a unique sound that feels like it’s theirs and only theirs. Love this album

Sulk by The Associates
May 28 2026

Not really my sound, a bit too chaotic for my taste

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
May 29 2026

A fun mix of songs with a beautiful and strong beginning, felt like there was a range of genres somehow had fun listening to it

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 30 2026

Great album, good collection and variety of songs. With some well written lyrics, and an amped up feeling to the whole album

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jun 01 2026

Very fun album to listen to, beautiful singing and beats loved it all

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jun 02 2026

Such a great beginning to the album, brilliant songs with a lot of vulnerable and real emotions. The second half of the album didn’t grab me as much

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jun 04 2026

Any album that has master of puppets on it is brilliant, great album to give you energy when exercising. The songs at the end didn’t stick out as much to me, but was a well made album in every way

Guero by Beck
Jun 05 2026
Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jun 06 2026

One of the best albums of all time, such a unique sound. With incredible riffs, lyrics and production. Best dad rock there is

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 08 2026

A perfect album, they’ve got such a unique approach to rock. Even down to the way their guitars sound, it’s all satisfyingly melancholy, with some incredible amped up songs too that gave me energy

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jun 09 2026

Great hauntingly sad but also fun album, really unique sound. Got to love mr brightside

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Jun 10 2026

The guy has an incredible history and clearly has talent but this just wasn’t quite my kind of music, it felt unfinished

90 by 808 State
Jun 11 2026

Not really my sound, I can tell they are talented and it’s well made music but it just isn’t a kind of music that works for me

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 13 2026

This album was a happy suprise, I know it’s a classic but I wasn’t expecting it to be so consistently great which is probably silly. It’s a great album with a wide variety of high quality songs

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 14 2026

Brilliant album Eric Clapton is the man, too talented on the guitar motherless children is such a great song too

Jun 15 2026

A very fun album, a lot of cool music and lines I had fun listening to it. I’ve still got his song with timbaland going round my head

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 16 2026

Perfect album, she is so talented with a beautiful voice. And so much honest vulnerability in her music. Love this album could listen to it over and over again. It’s perfect for all occasions. Was so happy to have this album come up. So many great songs. And a unique sound, her voice is one of a kind

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jun 18 2026

I’ve never listened to slipknot as their masks genuinely scare me, but I can see why they are so popular. This was an incredible album, satisfying riffs, amped up and sometimes haunting sounds. The intro to the album was a perfect crescendo. Great album

Green by R.E.M.
Jun 20 2026

A lot of the songs sounded the same to be on this album, it’s not really my sound it almost feels unfinished to me

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jun 21 2026

Some great songs on here, I think it was too consistently melancholy for my taste. But still a good album

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 22 2026

To me this is one of the greatest albums of all time, it’s so unique and can’t really be compared to anything else. Perfect collection of songs, and skits and that public service announcement is the perfect beginning. It’s so hilariously offensive aswell, with really clever lyrics amidst the chaos. It’s brilliant.

Jun 23 2026

An iconic album with a unique sound and approach blending rock with opera shouldn’t work but it does, I remember the scene of them pitching it to the label in bohemian rhapsody. Brilliant album, 39 is one of my favourite songs by them

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jun 24 2026

A nice suprise, I had no idea what to expect and it became the perfect background track for my morning. I like that it’s a live album it really felt like I was there watching them perform

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jun 25 2026

An album that feels like it belongs with the sad scenes in an early 2000s rom com where the main characters have split up, it’s a nice album nicely melancholy

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Jun 26 2026

This felt kind of meh to me, which sounds harsh but it’s just not my sound and the singer almost seemed dispassionate and uninterested

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jun 27 2026

Fun and light, with some confusing lyrics

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 28 2026

A great album with amazing variety, it just didn’t grab me. Which feels silly to say as I know how iconic and talented prince is. I know it’s a good album it’s just not my favourite

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jun 29 2026

Felt too experimental, like they were trying too hard to be artsy. Not my kind of sound

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jun 30 2026

To me this is one of the greatest albums of all time, so many classics. They’re unbeaten when it comes to a great amped up rock song with satisfying riffs. Such a strong album early on for them too. I love it this was already a classic to me. Such consistent high energy music.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jul 02 2026

I know tom waits is a legend but I couldn’t really listen to this album, his voice and way of singing made me uncomfortable somehow. Which doesn’t make sense, I just think it was an album that felt unfinished and badly mixed, which is overly harsh

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jul 03 2026

A great album with some really fun songs, and waterfalls is of course a classic with a lot of real emotions. I feel like they should have made more songs like that with real feeling, the others felt overly braggadocio-us and only about sex. To me any way, it just felt like it got a bit old, which makes me sound like an old man but still a good album overall

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 04 2026

Perfect classy background music, an incredibly talented man. Beautiful jazz, felt like I was in a jazz bar or something. It was a really pleasant listen, great relaxing jazz

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jul 05 2026

A truly unique sound would have no idea what genre this would be, some really great high energy songs on here. And others that made me uncomfortable somehow, I didn’t love all of it but as a whole it’s a great and unique album

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jul 06 2026

Perfect alternative dad rock

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jul 07 2026

Really strong beginning with a sound that didn’t sound like paul was trying to be the Beatles again, they have their own style. The second half of the album blended together for me though

Jul 08 2026

Grunge at its finest, raw and unfiltered. Hearing the ramblings in between songs is great, you really feel like you’re in a room next door listening to them.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 09 2026

the Beatles are a national treasure, this isn’t their best album though

Blur by Blur
Jul 11 2026

Really strong beginning , not as strong in the second half. Got a bit too chaotic for me, still a great album. I love song 2

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 16 2026

Love blue suede shoes the rest didn’t really grab me, felt classy listening to it

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jul 17 2026

Nothing shocked me about this album but it was fun and unique

Marquee Moon by Television
Jul 18 2026

Unexpected suprise, some great guitar on here

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jul 19 2026

Strong beginning I love blue orchid. The rest didn’t work as well for me

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 20 2026

Immediate 5/5 album, love this. I have no idea how he managed to create such a unique sound and collection of songs, it’s like nothing else and all of them are catchy and great to listen to

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jul 21 2026

Such an incredible start to their journey, I had never listened to this and I am happy I have

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jul 22 2026

Acoustic guitar never sounded better, a very moody and atmospheric album. Made me feel like I was in the movie crazy heart, driving along a highway

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jul 23 2026

She has an amazing history and clearly has had a huge influence doing what she does, but this album wasn’t enjoyable for me

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 25 2026

My favourite album that I’ve heard of Bowies, a short but sweet album

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jul 27 2026
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 28 2026

Incredibly atmospheric and great album, it gave me a melancholy feeling in a satisfying way. Felt like I could be a modern cowboy driving a truck down a long road reflecting on life.

Elastica by Elastica
Jul 29 2026

A really fun album to listen to, it feels rebellious to me somehow. With a kind of unique electronic rock sound, I personally dont think really understood any of the lyrics but it all had so much feeling that it didn’t matter.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 30 2026

This was a lesson of don’t judge an album by its cover for me as i thought this would be an overly artsy album that’s hard to listen to. But was happily surprised to have a lot of fun listening to this album, it’s unique and catchy and a lot of the songs grabbed my attention. It’s unique and has a pop feel at the same time, in an enjoyable way. I knew her as an actress but didn’t know she made great music too

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Aug 02 2026

A great album, made me feel like I was in a rom com in london for some reason, melancholy and cool, reminded me of the scene in Notting Hill where he’s walking through the market with the seasons changes

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Aug 03 2026

I think I understand the frank ocean hype now, I have always felt that he tries to be mysterious which may be true but his music is undeniable. This album is proof of that, an eclectic mix of songs, pyramid was a favourite

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Aug 04 2026

A fun and boppy album, really capturing the 80s sound

S&M by Metallica
Aug 07 2026

I think I’m inclined to agree with the negative reviews on this. It just doesn’t work for me, the orchestra dilutes Metallica's sound. You almost can’t hear them, it just doesn’t blend. It sounds like a superhero movie soundtrack in a way that doesn’t work.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 08 2026

Dad rock at its finest, you can see why this is their most successful album. It’s satisfying rock done their way, like no other band. Smoke on the water is enough to give this album a 5/5, but this album is consistently great. Had fun listening to it

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Aug 09 2026

A unique sounding album, that felt like there was too many layers of sounds to each song. So they all felt a bit too chaotic for me

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Aug 10 2026

I expected worse based on the reviews, but it still didn’t convince me of the grateful dead hype. You hear so much about their loyal fan base following them around, but the music doesn’t represent this seeming awe that people have for them. I personally don’t get it
