The Beatles - The Beatles
70

For as long as the White Album is, it's mostly a fun time throughout.

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour
80

MMT gets off to a bit of a slow start but as soon as it gets going with 'I Am the Walrus' it's a wonderfully whimsical experience. I feel like their production really levelled up on this album and is the highlight here, it's genius for the time period.

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
70

Another good album from The Beatles, I do find it to be a little bit overblown with a few underwhelming tracks such as 'Within You Without You' which doesn't do an awful lot of anything and meanders on for five minutes. 'A Day in the Life' while clearly quite ambitious and mostly enjoyable, it's also jarring and comes across a bit clumsy with transitions that don't make a whole lot of sense and stop me from loving the song.

I understand the impact this album ... read more

The Beatles - Revolver
80

'Revolver' is The Beatles' most unique and varied sounding album.

The Beatles - Help!
80

For a soundtrack, 'Help!' might be the best album in The Beatles discography up to the point of its release, with the beautiful 'Yesterday' being the best song up this point.

Megadeth - Megadeth
30

Megadeth's final moments unfortunately sound like a lame parody of Thrash Metal as a genre.

Poppy - Empty Hands
50

Another Alternative Metal experience from Poppy, that despite its shortcomings, packs some bite, both vocally and lyrically.

I'm not a fan of the more squeaky clean pop sections in a lot of her more recent stuff, usually leaning more towards the more aggressive and louder parts as Poppy can really scream when she wants to. With that being said, her blend of metal and pop works for me from time to time, like on Guardian. Although I can't help but wish that this album was just thirty ... read more

The Beatles - Beatles for Sale
60

‘Beatles for Sale’ is a consistently decent album from The Beatles, nothing too special but it’s all enjoyable enough.

IDK - e.t.d.s. A Mixtape by .idk.
80

This mixtape is one of the most unique and entertaining hip hop projects I've heard in a while.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night
70

Another good showing from The Beatles, although I'm seeing a pattern that their early records had a hard time maintaining consistency over to the B-sides.

The Beatles - With The Beatles
60

Whilst 'Please Please Me' has variety in its sound, intensity and emotional tone, 'With The Beatles' sounds a lot more homogeneous in comparison, it doesn't do an awful lot to build upon their sound and if I didn't know I would have thought that their debut succeeded this record as it sounds more ground-breaking for both the band and the sound of 60s Pop Rock. That being said, it's a good enough time despite my criticisms as well the second half of the album ... read more

The Beatles - Please Please Me
70

The Beatles' debut album exemplifies the power straightforward pop song writing can have when it comes to conveying emotion and and standing the test of time.

Pullman - III
80

Beautifully meditative

Jenny on Holiday - Quicksand Heart
50

Jenny has a lovely and unique voice, unfortunately it feels wasted on these melodramatic, generic pop songs.

This album weirdly reminds me of the music I would hear when my Grandad took me to the Vineyard Church as a kid.

Shaking Hand - Shaking Hand
60

The mathy lo-fi instrumentals are really nice but the vocals aren't doing much for me unfortunately. It's cool see a band of this style coming out of Manchester though.

Courtney Marie Andrews - Valentine
70

Courtney isn't doing anything too adventurous on 'Valentine' but good song writing and lyrical themes help evoke a good deal of emotion on this album.

KIRINJI - TOWN BEAT
60

A little too commercial sounding at times but it's still fun and cheerful.

Sampha - Lahai
100

'Lahai' may be the most angelic album I've ever heard. It's the first thing I reach for when I'm seeking a kind of spiritual clarity in the face of darkness and uncertainty.

Dry Cleaning - Secret Love
70

This band is deeply interesting to me, I had never heard this band before listening to this but now I will be. Florence's vocal style is fascinating, at times tedious but very intriguing and it marries incredibly well with the band's instrumentation. Her lyrics are cryptic yet tongue-in-cheek, funny whilst blunt and pessimistic. I think the song-writing here could use a tad more focus and direction but I can't wait to see where this band goes from here because I think they have ... read more

Madison Beer - locket
50

Outside of some of the production, 'locket' is fairly generic and derivative but it's ok while it's on.

"@rym it's at like a 2.7 on rym, that's way too low in reality. Whatever your opinion might be, 6/10 makes way more sense for quality of this project."
On The Beatles - Help!
"@eidna Yeah I get you completely, it would be a lot more satisfying if they simply left it off or listed it as a bonus track because that's essentially how I treat the song, I often just stop after 'Yesterday'."
On The Beatles - The Beatles
"As I've been relistening over the past week, I completely agree. The second half just doesn't hold up to the first, on the first you have songs like 'Dear Prudence' and the crazy five track run from 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' to 'Blackbird' as well as 'I Will' and 'Julia'. There's really nothing on the C and D sides that is as good as those songs imo."
On The Beatles - Help!
"@eidna I'm not sure if I think that it's out of place but it's not one of my favourite songs on the album and I do think Yesterday serves as a much better closer. Why do you think it's out of place? Does you not think it fits the sound of the album or is it just placed wrong in the tracklist?"

"@ARandomRanker yeah ik but everyone does the more informal chatty style of reviews on here so I try and do something a bit more structured and it feels better to write that way for me."
