Popular Reviews

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac

Rumours can never be matched because it just holds your attention through the whole album in this really unique way that few albums can do, but Tusk is like the cooler older sibling to Rumours. More chilled out, more suave, easier listening. More diversity between tracks. I'm in love.

really cool vibes already, raspy main vocals and kind of ethereal indie rock feel. I LOVE THIS ALBUM BASED ON THE FIRST SONG. cool orchestral feeling. oooooo I love it!!! i don't think it objectively deserves more than a 3 so i'll give it that but i love her :,)

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

I think this album is really gorgeous. It's deceptively simple, but the chord structure is nearly always flawless. Reminds me of a bit grittier version of the Beatles. Banana album will always be my favorite, but this rocked.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Oct 21 2020

It's kind of light and full old-timey music, big-voiced male singer with lots of vibrato, very Sinatra-esque. Not realllly my thing but I like it alright! Good for expanding horizons.

Oct 22 2020

The unplugged version of Come As You Are is... lowkey better than the original. Bass is very present and I enjoy that. I really think Kurt Cobain just kind of sounds constipated when he sings and it's not for me. Buuuut I think Nirvana is objectively good so I'm gonna give this one a fat three stars.

Oct 23 2020

I feel like this one has a little bit of a darker tone than previous Beatles albums. I've heard all the songs on this before but never listened the whole way through the album, so this was interesting. Especially on "Fixing a Hole," you can kind of tell the Beatles were diverging from where they were at before. "A Day In The Life" = still my favorite Beatles song. Obviously this is one of the best albums of all time, I get a liiiiittle bored toward the middle so I'm gonna give it 4 stars.

Revolver by Beatles
Oct 24 2020

Eleanor Rigby is sooooo good. Again, gets a bit weird and experimental. But like... it's the Beatles. Four stars.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 26 2020

I like the 80s synth poppy feel of it, sometimes weird percussion breaks and vocal interludes take up too much time, the synth is almost overwhelming sometimes too. But I liked it alright! not earth-shattering

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Oct 27 2020

Reminds me a lot of Joni Mitchell. Definitely something I want to listen to when I'm sad. Gets worse as it goes on, too much vibrato and volume increase in the upper register

Debut by Björk
Oct 28 2020

It took me a minute to decide how I feel about this since it's so avant-garde and weird, but I decided I really like it. I think it's really well-done, and her voice is gorgeous. Venus as a Boy is really good, and I probably wouldn't listen to this toooo often but I'm gonna save it on Spotify. Four stars!!!

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Oct 30 2020

I admittedly don't like jazz, but the jazz influence on this album is sick. It also reminds me of Christmas music, a little bit. I think this one is kind of awesome, not something I'd listen to all the time but I'm gonna save it on Spotify for Christmas vibes. Omg, also a little Vulfpeck-ish! Another surprising four star album!!

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Oct 30 2020

This is like surf rock on crack, the guitar is a little dirty for me sometimes but WOW yeah this is what rock should sound like. Songs aren't particularly distinguishable from each other until Where is My Mind? though.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 31 2020

i feel like each song sounds pretty similar but this is like ultimate classic rock

Nov 02 2020

I think there's a reason this never really gained popularity... Nyro is clearly talented vocally but her songwriting is just not that good and it sounds like show tunes, which is kind of insufferable. Really campy. I can't finish the album :/

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 03 2020

It's really fuzzed-up, the guitar kind of rides over top of the vocals which makes it a little hard to listen intently to. Maybe I need to give it more of a shot without headphones, just pretty difficult to listen to.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 05 2020

Rumours can never be matched because it just holds your attention through the whole album in this really unique way that few albums can do, but Tusk is like the cooler older sibling to Rumours. More chilled out, more suave, easier listening. More diversity between tracks. I'm in love.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Nov 06 2020

AGGRESSIVELY HORNY. Like, seriously. This guy is so horny. But it has this really fun, classic feel to it, and his British accent is really thick, which kind of adds to the fun.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Nov 09 2020

Weird, experimental, kinda neat. I think it works. Wouldn't listen to it for enjoyment but it's kinda sick

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 10 2020

Glad I'm finally listening to Voodoo Chile, because it's a masterpiece. Not entirely my vibe but I can appreciate that it's incredible music. Honestly, I do get kind of sick of listening to all that guitar, it's impressive but a lot. 3 stars but my personal opinion factors in heavily.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Nov 11 2020

Forgettable rock. "The Concept" is pretty good and I'll listen to that again, but it's like four white boys making sloppy alt rock that's pretty indistinguishable. Vocals aren't really notable either. I'll give it a fat two.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Nov 13 2020

So I guess Arcade Fire is art rock/indie rock, which explains why I like this album so much so far. It's exactly my vibe. I don't know if it's objectively amazing but subjectively, I like it very much.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 14 2020

Yeah. Good music. Overhyped, though. I'll give it a solid 3 stars, 3.5 if I could do half stars.

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 15 2020

i didn't wanna listen to this lol im just gonna give it a two

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 16 2020

This is beautiful! "A Man Needs a Maid" kinda sucks, but "Heart of Gold" is awesome and it's just kinda raw and emotional, love!

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 17 2020

this was sick. obviously like one of the most talented guitarists of all time. it's a little much when it's a full album of it but i think it'd be a great kinda badass driving album

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Nov 21 2020

annoying crooner, i'm not going to finish this but i did like the title song

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Nov 25 2020

mysterious dark vibes but still sounds like The Cure(tm) as opposed to Pornography

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Nov 30 2020

this kinda goes hard wtf? british boyband rock but a little harder than the beatles and a little bit "drier" if that makes any sense, like someone wrung the beatles out and their hair got greasier and they stopped wearing matching suits. thats just the energy i'm getting i have no idea if this is actually what they look like. it's also giving me sing street/the cure energy. interesting. really like her actually. best described as "pirate rock" i think lmao

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 01 2020

Berlin by Lou Reed
Dec 03 2020

don't like this at all. I think it's lame. i'd give a more formal opinion but not really in the mood, i'm sure it's impressive but it kinda sucked in my subjective opinion

Kenza by Khaled
Dec 04 2020

not my styleeeee but probably a good 3, can appreciate but dont like it

Dec 05 2020

really cool vibes already, raspy main vocals and kind of ethereal indie rock feel. I LOVE THIS ALBUM BASED ON THE FIRST SONG. cool orchestral feeling. oooooo I love it!!! i don't think it objectively deserves more than a 3 so i'll give it that but i love her :,)

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Dec 07 2020

"Baroque pop," very heavily orchestrated with heavy instrumentals and just... HEAVY overall. Not my fav, and don't think it's objectively super well done either. 2.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Dec 08 2020

I think this album is really well done — I've never really listened to blues before, and while it's certainly white people music, it's pretty funky and the harmonica + the beat create a really nice little sound. Again, it's not really my thing, but definitely deserves a 3.

Third by Portishead
Dec 09 2020

Portishead is just SO sad. It's almost unbearable at times. Like when I need something really sad, I might come back to this, but it's not even peaceful to me, just sad. That said, it's very well done and I'm sure it deserves a 3.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Dec 22 2020

I Zimbra whips, whole album reminds me of the other Talking Heads album I like but more jammy / maybe less innovative, still a great album

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Dec 29 2020

really moody, full voice with thinner instrumentals and just a powerhouse of a voice, kind of darker tone, i really like the way this feels to listen to... as in, i feel pretty Kool while listening to it

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 04 2021

I think this album is really gorgeous. It's deceptively simple, but the chord structure is nearly always flawless. Reminds me of a bit grittier version of the Beatles. Banana album will always be my favorite, but this rocked.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Jan 18 2021

At first I assumed this was a Country Album based on the everything about it, but I wouldn't classify it with frat-boy-blue-jeans-and-beer country. Williams has a pretty pronounced twang in her voice, but beyond that, her voice is light and airy and pretty beautiful imo. Still not my type of music and not very lyrically complex (compared to say, Dolly Parton) but I like it!

Doolittle by Pixies
Jan 19 2021

I didn't like this album very much. I wasn't expecting the Pixies to be so scream-y? but especially on the second track (Tame, I think?) it was a little much for me. "Here Comes Your Man" is surf-rock-y and definitely the best song on the album

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jan 21 2021

The song "Hearts and Bones" is soooo romantic. Very crunchy-granola-meets-simon&garfunkel. Some of the songs are a little gimmicky, the math one and the one abt the brain come to mind. but the love songs are SO tender and sweet. well done

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Jan 25 2021

a nice crunchy little electronic album. reminds me of van morrison in the way they repeat everything and twist it till it's unrecognizable. lots of fun bug sounds, like bug wings almost? that's what it reminds me of. it requires a lot of investment to listen to it, but i like
