Album Reviews

This is an archive of album reviews that I’ve been writing since around 2000.

Reviews are organised by decade – artists are filed under their most successful or prolific decade. Sometimes this is confusing – Radiohead are filed under the 1990s, even though some of their most acclaimed music was released in the 2000s. Led Zeppelin and Joni Mitchell started their recording careers in the 1960s, but are filed under the 1970s since most of their most beloved records were released during that decade.
