Where nostalgia meets noise.
Welcome To The Listening Log
I’m Del — lifelong music obsessive, one-time synth player, professional over-thinker of albums. I started The Listening Log to celebrate the lost art of full-album listening — not playlists, not TikTok snippets. Expect honesty, mild sarcasm, occasional nostalgia and zero music snobbery. Well not much…

Featured Reviews
Dire Straits — Brothers in Arms
The slickest, smoothest guitar tone of the 80s meets war, money and melancholy. Knopfler’s masterpiece still sounds enormous — and weirdly comforting.
Taylor Swift — Life of a Showgirl
Glitter, heartbreak and champagne — Taylor’s empire goes full Vegas. Slick, confident and exhausting, all at once.
The Stone Roses — The Stone Roses
Swagger, psychedelia and youth. The Manchester revolution started here — and it still sounds like a band discovering magic for the first time.
