Popular Reviews

Orbital 2 by Orbital

When an album starts out with a track that repeats ‘where time becomes a loop’ for nearly TWO MINUTES, you know you’re in for a banger of an album 🙄. Hot garbage.

Absolute hot garbage. I have no fuckin idea why you ‘need’ to listen to this album before you die other than to realize music this bad does indeed, actually exist.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes

Tired of all the Brit pop on this list

Slipknot by Slipknot

I remember hearing Eyeless on the radio for the first time in the truck with my cousin and asking him if the drummer had 10 arms..close he said, six. My love affair with the band began that day and has continued since.

Already in my collection. Obviously a banger of an album.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams

The only reason I had heard of this guy was cuz he used to pork Mandy Moore. This is a fantastic album and I’m not what you would call an alt-country fan at all.

Such a unique voice and a tragic loss.

Feb 08 2022
Low-Life by New Order
Feb 12 2022

Very solid album.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Feb 13 2022

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Feb 22 2022

Boring British garb.

Very solid. Can hear the Bowie influence throughout.

Nixon by Lambchop

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 20 2022
25 by Adele
May 24 2022
New Forms by Roni Size
May 26 2022

VERY repetitive. While I’m not huge into electronic music, I’ve been exposed to and enjoyed plenty of it. This was 3 hours of the same beeps and boops over and over and is the FIRST album through 568 reviewed so far that I could not finish. Miss me with that nearly 3 hour run time holy fuck, learn to shorten your shit.

S&M by Metallica
May 31 2022

Such a great album.

OK Computer by Radiohead

Jun 05 2022

Excellent album. Listened to it 3 times throughout the day.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 07 2022

Solid outing by CCR

Frank by Amy Winehouse

Arise by Sepultura
Jun 17 2022

An all time banger. Peak form between this and Chaos AD

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 20 2022

Pretty solid album.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jul 01 2022

Tired of all the Brit pop on this list

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jul 04 2022

A quarter century old and still sounds fresh and modern as can be.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jul 06 2022
Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jul 10 2022

It’s like if Trump was a musician instead of whatever he is.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 13 2022

A really solid album. Would listen to again.

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jul 17 2022

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 16 2022

I’m just not a fan of Steely Dan. I find them incredibly boring.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 19 2022

Dollar store Beatles

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 20 2022

Pretty solid album surprisingly

Kenya by Machito
Aug 21 2022
Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Aug 25 2022

A great debut album. She’s still as gorgeous as she was back then too

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Aug 27 2022

Probably their best album

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 30 2022

Great sounds throughout. Ginger Baker is a great drummer.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 31 2022

A landmark hip-hop album whose cost to reproduce today would be astronomical due to the amounts of samples. I didn’t really care for it too much as a kid which just further iterates the point that kids are dumb.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 01 2022

God this shit was SO boring. I really don’t understand why he’s a thing .

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Sep 03 2022

Not their best but John Bonham’s still otherworldly on the drums.

Harvest by Neil Young
Sep 08 2022

Solid stuff by The Godfather of grunge

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Sep 09 2022

Great album with top notch production and awesome beats throughout.

Sep 11 2022

Fairly solid

More Specials by The Specials
Sep 12 2022

Eh. Kinda tired of inoffensive British shit making the list.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Sep 13 2022

Pretty solid, I can see why these guys were so big in the 80’s.

Sep 27 2022

70s Elton John was banging. Love lies Bleeding is a standout track amongst others.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Sep 28 2022

Enough with the fuckin Cohen already. I get it. He was important. It still doesn’t change the fact that the dude speaks words over music as opposed to singing. Boring and not good.

Faith by George Michael
Oct 04 2022
Atomizer by Big Black
Oct 06 2022

2.5 stars. Not bad at all.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Oct 12 2022

This guy seems to be obsessed with generic pop. More of the same

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Oct 22 2022
Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Oct 23 2022

It was horrible drivel

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 24 2022

Not their favorite album of mine but most bands would kill to have an album like this in their discography l.

90 by 808 State

Oct 29 2022
Tical by Method Man
Nov 02 2022
Play by Moby
Nov 04 2022
Reign In Blood by Slayer
Nov 10 2022

One of the best thrash metal albums of all times.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Nov 13 2022

Not too bad. I found go to be quite listenable to.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 14 2022
Rubber Soul by Beatles
Nov 15 2022

Not my favorite album of theirs but it was the one that got me into them as a teen.

Damaged by Black Flag
Nov 18 2022
Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 21 2022

When an album starts out with a track that repeats ‘where time becomes a loop’ for nearly TWO MINUTES, you know you’re in for a banger of an album 🙄. Hot garbage.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Nov 24 2022

It’s the Loaf, what more needs to be said?

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 30 2022
Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Dec 11 2022

It was hot garbage and not for me. One songs lyrics are wa wa wa wa over and over and over.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Dec 16 2022

I really don’t care for his music.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Dec 18 2022

Not their best album but still full of bangers.

Ctrl by SZA
Dec 21 2022
Teen Dream by Beach House
Dec 24 2022

Shoe gazing music is like if people were like how do we make the MOST boring, whiny and LONG music ever? Shit is insufferable.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Dec 30 2022
Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Dec 31 2022

I thought it was pretty cool for them to name their band after your mom.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 06 2023

Probably not a popular choice but it’s my favorite album of hers.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 07 2023

Great debut album. Very sad about Chester.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jan 11 2023
Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jan 19 2023
Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Jan 22 2023

I very rarely dig the international albums. It’s just hard to discern the lyrics and meanings of the songs without speaking the language. From the opening track of Chan Chan, you can tell you are in for something special. I listened to the album twice today while hanging around the house and added it to my collection.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 25 2023
Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jan 29 2023
Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Feb 03 2023
Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 04 2023
Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Feb 05 2023

Not what I would consider my cup of tea normally but it was very solid.

Dare! by The Human League
Feb 09 2023
Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 12 2023

Very gay

Diamond Life by Sade
Feb 13 2023

Pretty solid 80s pop album.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 16 2023

Shoe gazing is the worst genre ever. Try to picture a porn star attempting to set an anal gang bang record & try to imagine the gruel that would escape her anus near the end. If you could turn that gruel into music, it’d be this shit

Suede by Suede
Feb 21 2023

It must’ve sucked because it was on no services and I’m tired of trying to listen to shitty albums on YouTube with ads.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Mar 01 2023

I remember hearing Eyeless on the radio for the first time in the truck with my cousin and asking him if the drummer had 10 arms..close he said, six. My love affair with the band began that day and has continued since.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Mar 09 2023

Did not listen as I could not find

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 11 2023

As close to a perfect album as you can get. Every song from start to finish is incredible. I can’t imagine the ego it must give to know you created such a masterpiece

Low by David Bowie
Mar 18 2023
Permission to Land by The Darkness
Mar 19 2023

This album rocks. When it first came out I was in my early 20s and at first I thought I liked them ironically but they actually ended up being badass.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Mar 23 2023
Roots by Sepultura
Mar 24 2023

The last Sep album with the brothers Cavalera. What a run these guys had and one of the best metal bands of all time.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 25 2023
Mar 26 2023

When I saw the length of the album compared to the tracks I groaned but these guys were actually really solid

Movies by Holger Czukay
Mar 28 2023
The White Album by Beatles
Apr 02 2023

Dear Prudence is one of, if not my favorite song ever. There’s quite a bit of filler spaced throughout but I believe if you got rid of the fillers and kept the bangers down to one disc it’d probably be the greatest album of all time. As it stands, it’s merely an incredibly great album.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Apr 07 2023

Gave me a type o negative vibe, not bad.

I’ve always known about this band by name but this is the second album I’ve come across on this list & they’re a very good band.

An instant classic from an MC who just can’t miss. Check out his album Tetsuo & Youth for a bonafide hip hop masterpiece.

Look, I understand how popular she is and how she’s the new ‘queen of pop.’ That being said I’ve just never been able to connect with her songs at all. A very boring ‘meh’ album to me.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen

I received a notification a couple of weeks ago that I had rated my 900th album of 1001. I have never skipped an album or song no matter how bad it’s been. I’ve listened to German noise, spoken word, foreign language, mediocre British pop and everything else. I did not think the streak would be broken and by Springsteen nonetheless. This is like how 4th album on the list, he is incredibly boring and sucks and I saw it had a run time of nearly 1 hour and 20 minutes and I noped the fuck out.

Absolute hot garbage. I have no fuckin idea why you ‘need’ to listen to this album before you die other than to realize music this bad does indeed, actually exist.

When I first saw a three hour run time I was about to nope the fuck out but then I saw it was broken down into three 23 track albums so I listened to 1 a day. It’s at least listenable too but definitely an exercise in endurance.

I am so tired of this inoffensive generic Brit music making the list. Not to shit on the album cuz it wasn’t horrible but there is literally no reason you need to listen to this before you die.

I’m a little less than four months older than her and this album kicked off a lifelong love affair with her.

When I saw 4 tracks and 1 hour and 20 minutes I groaned. The groan was warranted but at the same time it wasn’t horrible. But I was also high. So take that for what it’s worth.
