*Please leave a comment below!* Tell me what you think of this album, of the review, of the act, of my stripy cushion… I love it when people disagree with my assessment of an album. All comments, small or long, are welcome. I read and respond. Let’s get a conversation going. Feel free to ask me questions.

*My Mission*
My aim is to review the 3000 greatest albums of all time! I am using a list taken from the Acclaimed Music Website ( Do I have the stamina to review them all? Only time will tell. I also do a few “off list” reviews: some new releases, some albums I like that are not on the list, and some *request reviews*. If you want to request a review of an album (I’m not making any promises) leave a comment on any video on the channel. More details in this intro video:

*My Ethos*
These reviews are intended for a “general audience”, I try not to assume specialist or genre-specific knowledge, and I try to make these reviews accessible rather than elitist. I am more interested in what an album is like as a standalone listening experience than the importance or contribution of an album to the art of music. I give context, description and opinion, and try to keep it short and snappy. Want to know more about why I am doing this, and what my process is? Check out this video:
