Popular Reviews

The Doors by The Doors

Not for me. Singer feels drony & one note and the band often feel like they’re completely independent of one another & weren’t aware they were meant to be playing together. Songs all quite samey too.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 25 2026

Unbelievable album, from one of the greats.

The Doors by The Doors
Apr 26 2026

Not for me. Singer feels drony & one note and the band often feel like they’re completely independent of one another & weren’t aware they were meant to be playing together. Songs all quite samey too.

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 28 2026

Not really my vibe, but parts of it are enjoyable enough. Would have been a 3 star, but too many of the songs felt a bit screamo.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 29 2026

Really enjoyable + a couple of all timers in there too!

Queen II by Queen
Apr 30 2026

Brilliant band, but nowhere near their best on this one.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 02 2026

Okay at times, but some of it is truly dreadful. The songs are good, but so much of the album is just people chanting/ speaking in really bad accents

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 03 2026

Very listenable & largely enjoyable. Each song was probably about 1/3 longer than it needed to be though, and the songs are all a little bit samey!

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 04 2026

Objectively I’m sure it’s a good album, but subjectively I wasn’t grabbed by it at all, zoned out from most of it and didn’t enjoy it.

Smash by The Offspring
May 05 2026

Not really for me, wasn’t awful but wasn’t good.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
May 07 2026

Reasonably good listen, suspect his voice would do my head in if I had to listen to it for too long though.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
May 08 2026

Not very good at all - often just seems to be chanting syllables. Not rock, not rap, not good.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
May 09 2026

May well be a very good album, but just not my type of music & so I didn't enjoy it.

The Band by The Band
May 10 2026

Didn’t hate it, but didn’t love it. Easy to listen along to!

Superunknown by Soundgarden
May 12 2026

Okay, not massively for me but equally not bad.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 14 2026

Would give it a 3.5 if possible - really enjoyable listen!

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 19 2026

One of the stronger 2’s, but it’s far too samey and doesn’t grab the attention enough to push its way up to a 3.

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 21 2026

I’d generally consider AC/DC to be a touch heavier than I like when it comes to rock, but their best stuff is just phenomenal rock music. Back in Black is a terrific album, and the closest I’ve got to a 5 star album in a while. The highs are so good, but a couple of the songs don’t quite reach the same levels, and so I think it has to settle for a 4.

Jun 03 2026

Really not for me. Feels like the background music they always have in the gym, good music for blocking out distractions I guess.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 07 2026
Bug by Dinosaur Jr.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
