One album. A proper listen.
A short guide to finding a record, listening through it and making the verdict your own.
Choosing something to listen to can take longer than listening to it. The Catalogue Club starts with a smaller decision: give one album a chance.
Find your next album
Press Find my next album and the Club chooses a record from the live catalogue. You can also explore the albums if a particular title has caught your eye.
Open the album in Spotify or Apple Music for the full listen. Track previews, where available, are there to give you a taste; they do not replace the full record.
Choose how you listen
In Rating Mode, rate each song from 1 to 10 as you work through the album. There is no correct answer and no need to agree with anyone else's reputation for it. A famous record can leave you cold. A name you have never heard can become a favourite.
Once every track has a rating, the Club reveals your Catalogue Score. Your catalogue becomes a record of those discoveries and the scores you gave them.
Prefer to listen without scoring? Choose Listening Mode and mark the playthrough complete when you finish. It saves the listen without creating stars or a Catalogue Score. Switching modes keeps any ratings you have already given.
Start with curiosity
You do not need to know the artist's history before pressing play. Listen first. If something stays with you, follow it: another record, a new genre, a song worth sending to a friend.
