Top 10 Albums of the 1970’s

I’ve recently been going through every year in music for my thorough retrospectives, and as such I’ve been exposed to some fantastic albums.

“PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid’s Curse” – REVIEW

2023’s “PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries Of Honjo” came as quite the surprise to all visual novel fans. In a year full of incredible games, it still managed to cement itself as one of the best, most underrated, most unpredictable stories of recent times. Needless to say, I was excited for this year’s sequel – “TheContinue reading ““PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid’s Curse” – REVIEW”

My Worst Opinions

I’m approaching my sixth anniversary of running this blog all about my personal opinions, and that got me thinking – are there any opinions I’d retract in hindsight? Are there things I said in the past which seem stupid nowadays? And so I went back through every single one of my posts, and let meContinue reading “My Worst Opinions”

“…Like Clockwork” (Queens of the Stone Age) – Every Song Ranked

I’ve always been aware of Queens of the Stone Age and liked their work, but it was only when listening to “…Like Clockwork” in full for my 2013 Music Retrospective that I became a true fan.

Every “Hannibal” Episode Ranked

It’s been a few years since I finished “Hannibal”, and a couple of years since my re-watch. Even now, looking back on the series as an older and wiser man, I still consider it one of my favourite shows I’ve seen.

Best Ace Attorney One-Hit Wonder Characters

I’ve ranked the main characters, I’ve ranked the defendants, I’ve ranked the culprits … but, as I realised during my recent Ace Attorney Deep Dives, that doesn’t highlight all of the wonderful characters this series has to offer. There are some side characters who appeared in one case and one case only, and yet madeContinue reading “Best Ace Attorney One-Hit Wonder Characters”

The Most Streamed Songs of Each Year – Ranked

It’s fascinating to me to see which songs have stood the test of time – i.e. which songs from decades ago still get Spotify streams, and how these songs compare to the popular songs of today. I’ve gathered the top streamed song on Spotify from each year since 1960 (according to “DavesMusicDatabase” as of DecemberContinue reading “The Most Streamed Songs of Each Year – Ranked”
