Central Reservation by Beth Orton

To be honest, just sounded like every other singer songwriter, but not as good

May 15 2026

Surprisingly melodic - not what I expected given my limited exposure ot Nirvana. Pleasantly surprised!

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
May 18 2026

Haven't listened to much Depeche Mode other than the pop hits but I quite liked it

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
May 19 2026

I really liked this album - although I'm old enough to have liked it when it came out originally! Typical Deep Purple.

1984 by Van Halen
May 21 2026

This is typical Van Halen - rock anthem-y and a fair bit of angst by David Lee Roth on loves lost/won etc You wont be disappointed with this album but you won't find anything super different to what you were used to with Van Halen

Brothers by The Black Keys
May 22 2026

I’ve never really listened to the Black Keys but found 5he album refreshing - a nice mix of blues/rock with some softer more melodic tracks. Have enjoyed this one!

The Cars by The Cars
May 25 2026

Quite pleasant rock - keyboard stuff

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
May 26 2026

Absolutely loved this! Wouldn't give many albums 5* but this is one i will - "Ain't no way" is a classic tune

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
May 28 2026

Here website says ‘Modern Kosmology’ is a model student of second-hand Krautrock, female punk, hard-subbed new-wave, synthesizer skip-finds and unpronounceable worldly feminine pop. Pleasant listening, very light and airy pop synthesiser vibes

Snivilisation by Orbital
May 29 2026

Quite pleasqant for background music but not for me unfortunately

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
May 30 2026
