Music Reviews (English)
Here I have posted the names of English language albums I either recommend or were part of my “Albums of the Year” lists, what genre they are, and my favourite top three tracks. I’ll rank them slightly, with them all worth checking out, though some more highly recommended than others:
- Platinum
- Gold
- Silver
- Bronze
They have been initially posted in a random order, and then the newest entries added to the bottom.
Opinions are, of course, my own, and I acknowledge that I have a bad taste in music, so I don’t doubt other people will have different opinions to mine!
