Popular Reviews

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits

What a masterpiece, genius guitar work, never in your face but always present, great atmosphere

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar

While the Sitar is an interesting instrument, this album sounds more like a 50 minute solo on the Sitar which is just not that enjoyable as an album

Odelay by Beck

This truly was a huge disappointment for me. A Grammy winning album that is jumping from genre to genre with each song, each time in a worse manner while sounding awfully a lot like Kid Rock

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson

Not bad but just a bit too much progressive and not enough rock to keep me entertained and intrigued

1-Star Albums (20)

All Ratings (1089)

Smash by The Offspring
Jan 13 2021

Not really my type of music, a bit too raw and aggressive sounding although can see its appeal if one likes the genre. 2/5

Parklife by Blur
Jan 14 2021

Surprisingly entertaining and easy listening. Solid music and a look into Brit pop

The Slider by T. Rex
Jan 15 2021

Unremarkable, neither bad nor good

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 16 2021

Very solid album, nothing to dislike about that kind of music

Jan 17 2021

Good Album that is an all around great listen, not one song stands out but all of them combine for a joyful listening

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 18 2021

Interesting to hear this subgenre but in the end all the songs were too close to each other and unremarkable

Jan 19 2021

There's not much to be said that hasn't already been said, this is one of the best albums of all time, a perfectly packaged concept album that never feels boring or dull and that was groundbreaking back then and still is almost 50 years onwards

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jan 20 2021

Great album overall, there weren't any songs standing out particularly but it is a well put together album that, as their debut album, laid the foundations for a great career

2112 by Rush
Jan 21 2021

Went in there expecting not much, having never listened to them before but I had a great time listening to this album and enjoyed it thoroughly. The more melodic aspect of this album hit exactly what I like in rock and I'm definitely looking forward to check out more of then

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jan 22 2021

Good pop album with an edge from a legendary artist with a unique voice. Despite this not being my personal favorite genre and only steel claw popped out as a great song i liked, it was an overall good album that deserves its rating

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jan 24 2021

Not really a traditional country album but not bad. She has a good voice and the album is decent.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 25 2021

What a great put together album. Joni has her individual style yet one never feels like one song sounds like the other or that they blend together.

Pink Flag by Wire
Jan 26 2021

Very early, British punk rock. Unfortunately I fail to appreciate the art in it, it sounds bad, the singing reminds me more of drunk people yelling at the pub......

Nowhere by Ride
Jan 27 2021

Expected absolutely nothing but it was quite an enjoyable album, liked the unorthodox edge it had with melodic melodies and singing

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jan 28 2021

Atrocious, simply atrocious, not sure what to say about this wanna be music

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 29 2021

Decent album but for a legendary and hyped artist like Lennon, I can't help but to feel the album is underwhelming.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 30 2021

Interesting instrumental album..not the biggest fan of the instrumental but I have to appreciate the effort and the art in it

Faith by George Michael
Jan 31 2021

Not a bad pop album but absolutely nothing special. First two songs are good, after that the album becomes to monotonous to impress

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 01 2021

Did not like this at all, no melodies, all just yelling, not my cup of tea at all

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Feb 02 2021

Weird name but not a weird album. Surprisingly decent as some background music. The perfect example of a 3 star album

Feb 03 2021

More modern, less Britpoppy than for example Oasis and Blur. Liked it a lot, especially the second half of the album. However due to the slow first half, I have to award a 4 instead of a 5

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Feb 04 2021

Interesting to venture out into a world that I normally do not go to. Great guitar work, overall a decent album

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Feb 05 2021

Decent britrock album with some interesting edges to it, although in the end it does lack some memorable songs to gain a 4 star rating

Solid Air by John Martyn
Feb 07 2021

Great album that is genre bending and never boring. Dilling into folk, pop, rock, jazz, blues and doing it all great

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Feb 08 2021

Great Album, each song is good and sounds like it belongs into a huge stadium show and best of playlist. Album itself could do with being 15 min shorter

Feb 09 2021

Decent album, starts out very strong the first third or quarter but then slows down and ends up being 15-20 minutes too long

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Feb 10 2021

Great album, loved the concept of 4 different sides with different genres

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 11 2021

Decent but can't help to feel a bit underwhelmed given his legacy and the expectations that come with it. Not a bad album, good for the background but nothing more

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Feb 12 2021

While the Sitar is an interesting instrument, this album sounds more like a 50 minute solo on the Sitar which is just not that enjoyable as an album

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 13 2021

Great Album, really like the voice and the composition. Although not a masterpiece, it's definitely a very good 4

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 14 2021

Liked the versatility of this album, no song sounds like the same and 3 lead singers is a refreshing concept.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Feb 15 2021

Decent album which for a name like that, falls a bit short of expectations

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 16 2021

Decent album, found the melodics and the heavier instruments to be the missing thing from Britpop

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 17 2021

Decent album that can't hold the high quality of its opening title nor of some other britrock staples

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 18 2021

Decent album but nothing more

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 19 2021

Great Album, her voice fits great to the music and there is not a single bad song on the album

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 20 2021

Absolute great Album, so versatile and creative, never boring

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Feb 21 2021

A crap shoot, a mashup of two genres that offer nothing better than listening to the genres individually

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Feb 22 2021

Decent album that certainly isn't the best work of The Who nor anything remarkavle

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 23 2021

Not bad but certainly nothing special or memorable

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Feb 24 2021

Didn't like this one too much, the mixing has the vocals too low, all the songs are unremarkable and sound the same

Quiet Life by Japan
Feb 26 2021

Unremarkable and forgettable

Low-Life by New Order
Feb 28 2021

Surprisingly great, each song has something else that I liked about it, 80s pop with an edge

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Mar 02 2021

Great folk album, has a great baritone voice and great instrumentals, not the biggest fan of the lyrics

Tical by Method Man
Mar 03 2021

Not my genre but also not very good albums even for somebody that's no expert in rap

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Mar 05 2021

Just not enough of a structure and beat to be enjoyable, too stripped down, mostly just some percussion in the background

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Mar 06 2021

Decent rock album but nothing more because the rest of the albums fails to live up to the quality of the first, title giving song

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Mar 07 2021

Decent, influential album. From a pure listening experience, the organ got a bit overused towards the end of the album

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Mar 08 2021

Interesting and decent but nothing else

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Mar 09 2021

Surprisingly good and upbeat rock album which doesnt have any bad songs but also too little great songs to deserve a 5

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Mar 10 2021

Not per se Bad but the album is just too long, the songs are too similar and she's trying to hard to be different and edgy

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Mar 12 2021

Bit disappointed as I expected more based on the name and their legacy. It wasn't bad however I found it in-between sounds, not really being either and thus kinda average

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 13 2021

Decent album that, 40 years later, lost its groundbreaking appeal for me

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Mar 14 2021

Quite liked this one, it's a happy and tolkienesque sound with some harps, mandolins, etc

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 16 2021

Interesting album that has a bit of an edge to it, definitely better R&B than Maxwell the day before but still not enough to get 4 stars for me

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Mar 18 2021

Very refreshing! A upbeat, feel good rock-pop album with many catchy songs. Individual songs could be a bit longer

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Mar 19 2021

Entertaining and enjoyable indie pop with some good harmonies and melpdies

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 21 2021

Decent however the songs sounded too similar and only the first song was a big hit

Forever Changes by Love
Mar 22 2021

Good album, enjoyable and joyous sound, no huge hit but fits well together

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Mar 23 2021

Very unorthodox and different but good. Angelic voice, a synth sounding like many various instruments and a movie score-like composition

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Mar 24 2021

Very basic rap album without a lot of beats and very clean rap. Not bad, just too long and too monotonous

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Mar 25 2021

Not a good singing performance, almost slurrish singing, uninspiring and monotonous music

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 26 2021

Decent album but a very passionate and emotional delivery

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Mar 27 2021

Great album full with big hits and great songs

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 28 2021

Could have been a decent album if not for the ridiculous length and many filler songs

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 29 2021

Very solid debut album of a great pop band. Yellow is by far the best song on there but there is not a really bad song on there either

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Mar 30 2021

Decent albums, not as wannabe different than her previous one from the 90s however still with an edge. Ultimately though not enough standout songs to warrant a 4

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Mar 31 2021

Good album which has a lot of missed potential unfortunately, would have wished that the more exotic and medieval sounding songs were more plentyful

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Apr 01 2021

Great mix of worldly songs

Apr 02 2021

Decent country album however the songs all sounded too similar and none of them really stood out

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Apr 04 2021

Did like it, unfortunately the first song was the best since it was much more dark and mysterious than the rest, the others were almost normal blues rock

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Apr 05 2021

While not the best album that normally would be a 3, the whole character and music fit together perfectly and sold the album. Very creative and unique

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 06 2021

An album full of hits, one could think it's a Greatest Hits

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 07 2021

A good three stars but ultimately not more

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 08 2021

Ultimately a bit disappointing, way too long, songs sounded too much the same, too little guitar action

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Apr 10 2021

Not a fan at all, background music was the best

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 12 2021

Good album but would have preferred more songs of them all together like the last two songs of the album

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 13 2021

Groundbreaking yet in total a bit underwhelming, not my favourite style of rock so the spark didn't fly

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 15 2021

Liked it, just something about that it makes it easy listening and feel good

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 16 2021

Just too boring in my opinion, trying too hard to be different

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 18 2021

Bang average, nothing more, nothing less

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 19 2021

Actually a pretty good album, no song stands out but overall very enjoyable

The White Album by Beatles
Apr 20 2021

Even though the album was too long and had too many fillers, it was still an interesting and enjoyable album

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 21 2021

What a masterpiece, genius guitar work, never in your face but always present, great atmosphere

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Apr 22 2021

Decent world music, interesting to hear once but that's it

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 23 2021

Good album however none of the songs really really stands out which prevents it from getting a 5

Boston by Boston
Apr 24 2021

Great album, it's like the epitome of Classic rock. B side is a bit weaker but A side is banging

Van Halen by Van Halen
Apr 25 2021

Decent, little disappointing though because if it wasn't for the guitar play, this would be a 3 star album

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 26 2021

Wasn't a big fan, just not enough melody and song structure

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Apr 27 2021

Just not my type of music and music that's suitable to listen in a full album setting

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Apr 28 2021

Surprisingly good 80s pop, no standout songs but overall a enjoyable album

John Prine by John Prine
Apr 30 2021

Decent album, not the biggest fan of the unserious lyrics

May 01 2021

Who doesn't like ABBA?

May 03 2021

Enjoyable, fast paced rock n roll album

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 05 2021

Decent but ultimately slightly disappointed

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 06 2021

Good album but personally I prefer his faster ultempo songs and prefer his Bad Album

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 07 2021

Surprisingly unorthodox for S&G but still a great album with beautiful songwriting

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
May 10 2021

Decent album, just nothing really memorable about it and the big singles aren't that great in my opinion

Let It Be by The Replacements
May 11 2021

Surprisingly likeable post punk album

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 12 2021

Good album but just shy of a masterpiece/5 stars

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 13 2021

Surprisingly great album, liked the combination of voice and instruments, shows a great variety of genres and songs, without becoming too much

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
May 14 2021

Not that bad, sound actually fairly modern for the age, would give this a 3.5

Clandestino by Manu Chao
May 15 2021

All over the place, not Bad per se but also not good

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 16 2021

Decent album, great production and instruments

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
May 17 2021

Quite interesting and unique, very deep voice but somewhat soothing piano play

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
May 18 2021

Surprisingly entertaining synth pop with catchy tunes

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
May 21 2021

More or less just ambience music

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 23 2021

Good album, bit too raw for my personal taste

Night Life by Ray Price
May 24 2021

Decent album

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
May 25 2021

Ultimately just too long and not interesting and innovative enough

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 27 2021

Surprisingly enjoyable album to have in the background

May 28 2021

While it's just at the edge of how much grunting and raw metal I can listen to, this is still not very enjoyable

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 29 2021

Interesting album, highly acclaimed but looking at the songs specifically, nothing stands out that warrants a 4 to me

May 30 2021

Didn't expect to like this but I did. It has a nice grooves some heavy guitar riffs and is innovative. Too long though

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jun 01 2021

Just nothing special, way too long and not memorable

Jun 02 2021

Interesting album and a nice concept. Liked the sound a lot, just the last edge is missing for this to be 5 stars

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 03 2021

While worse than their other album, it's still above average and warrants a 4, although it's closer to a 3.5 than a 4

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
Jun 04 2021

Surprisingly good album, liked the sound a lot plus the songs were very catchy

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 06 2021

Not too different from the other Stripes album, appreciated the few singing songs but still overall nothing too outstanding

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Jun 07 2021

Enjoyable but not enough to leave a lasting impression

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jun 08 2021

Not bad however all in all just a tad bit too unexciting and too similar sounding

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Jun 09 2021

Enjoyable and somewhat amusing album with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, surprisingly good

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jun 10 2021

Great album, almost every song is a banger

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jun 11 2021

This was a pleasant surprise. Has that exotic factor due to English/afro Carribbean accent, the electronic beats are versatile and catchy, the lyrics are fun and weird

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Jun 12 2021

Unfortunately worse than School's Out, no song really stood out and overall they were just rather boring and similar sounding

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jun 13 2021

Although only just over 1h, the album dragged on forever with songs that are just nothing special

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 15 2021

Interesting album, great opener with some other great 4 star songs, overall a good 4 star album

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Jun 16 2021

Just nothing that stand out or makes this album remarkable in any way

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jun 17 2021

Not bad but fails to leave a lasting impression, instruments too loud, many cover songs, album came before their biggest hits

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 18 2021

What a great album/songs. Even 33 years later, still very much relevant

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jun 20 2021

Surprisingly not that bad, album was all over the place with lots of different genres mixed into Hip hop

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 21 2021

Decent but it's not a genre that I would ever actively listen to

Revolver by Beatles
Jun 22 2021

Purely based on the songs and how I like them, this would be a 3 however I have to commend the "artistry" in the album, it's diversity of different styles aswell as it being ahead of its time for 1966

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Jun 23 2021

Decent but nothing remarkable or to remember

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jun 24 2021

Not bad but ultimately expected a bit more, no song really stands out or is memorable

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jun 26 2021

Good album, great runtime, good crowd working, nice songs

Jun 27 2021

Not that bad to be honest, violent and aggressive lyrics, would give this a 2.5 if I could

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jun 28 2021

Nice album full of psychodelic songs that work well as a whole album

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jun 29 2021

Not a bad album, just too long runtime and the songs sounding all very similar

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 30 2021

Not bad but just fails to love up close to any of the hype that's associated with a Ex-Beatle.

1984 by Van Halen
Jul 01 2021

Decent album however the guitar playing, whil excellent, was less of a focus on this album which didn't help the album

Infected by The The
Jul 02 2021

Decent and quite adventurous, but nothing that's memorable or outstanding

Back In Black by AC/DC
Jul 03 2021

What a great album, every song is class and belongs on there and is catchy

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jul 05 2021

Decent album, great length, nice listening, just a bit too monotonous

White Ladder by David Gray
Jul 06 2021

Something about this album that is actually soothing and enjoyable. Nice voice, the electronics are a nice added touch

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jul 07 2021

Great album, great guitar, just the right amount of blues

My Generation by The Who
Jul 08 2021

Decent but somehow the spark just isn't there

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jul 09 2021

Surprisingly great and entertaining rock album

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 10 2021

Interesting to hear and learn about the artist and that time but nothing more

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 11 2021

I want to like it but it's just not enough for a 4 for me. The songs are just a bit too simple for me, both lyrically aswell as musically but they lack the catchiness of for example CCR

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 13 2021

Liked the mysterious and sad atmosphere but the songs fail to make this more than an average album

Jul 14 2021

Starts out decent but begins to fall off quite a bit, way too long, bad singing, just not my genre and truly forgettable

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jul 15 2021

Surprisingly good, got lots of Pink Floyd vibes from the instrumental parts

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jul 16 2021

Boring, incredibly repetitive....

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jul 17 2021

Was interesting to listen to music from that era but at the end of the day, it didn't do much for me, decent

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jul 18 2021

Kinda weird sounding, fails to make an impression

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jul 19 2021

Surprisingly decent alt rock but missing one or two hit songs to be awarded 4 stars

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 20 2021

A great album with some huge hits. Unfortunately the other songs cannot hold the high quality of the hits which keeps this album from reaching 5 stars

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jul 21 2021

Nice barebones folk album, great mix and sound

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 22 2021

Great mix of hard guitar riffs and still somewhat melodic

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jul 23 2021

Sounded all very similar and the songs being about the same topics got old quickly

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 24 2021

Interesting, but could have done with a bit more vocals and guitars

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 26 2021

Really liked this one, from Eddie's voice, to the classic/stadium rock elements, the riffs, just a great overall rock album

Jul 28 2021

Decent album, surprisingly liked the first hipvhopvalbum better than the funk part

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 29 2021

Long double album but a great one! Really liked the vibe/atmosphere of the album, every song has its place on the album and is minimum a decent song

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jul 30 2021

Great album showing the creativity and versatility of Bowie.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 31 2021

Not bad but would have preferred them to be a bit "heavier"

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Aug 01 2021

Decent country album but ultimately fails to leave an impression

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 02 2021

Decent album that showcases Neil's Talent, although I would have personally preferred some more electric guitars

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Aug 03 2021

Please, make it stop

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Aug 04 2021

Surprisingly boring, basic blues rock, little guitars, not very catchy

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 05 2021

Slightly expected more, in the end not bad but the album is very long and hardly any songs were memorable enough to remember them after the listening

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Aug 06 2021

Decent 90s punk album that's a bit too long and lacking a big hit

LP1 by FKA twigs
Aug 07 2021

Unorthodox but not necessarily bad

Marquee Moon by Television
Aug 08 2021

Easy Rock listening, although lacks some standout songs

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 09 2021

Easy listening that fails to make a lasting impression as more than background music

Risque by CHIC
Aug 11 2021

Decent disco album that unfortunately got old quite fast though due to very similar sounding songs

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Aug 12 2021

Decent album with an interesting artist history. Fails to make a lasting impression though

Phrenology by The Roots
Aug 13 2021

Decent rapping, album too long though and would have preferred some better beats with more instruments, less electronic

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Aug 14 2021

Decent but ultimately the songs are very similar and nothing stands out

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Aug 15 2021

Interesting electric sound but wished the songs were a bit catchier and diverse

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 16 2021

Good instrumentals but just lacking the singing to make good rock sonvsz

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Aug 17 2021

Great album, never boring, loved the guitar, timeless sounding

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Aug 18 2021

Just too raw, loud, noisy

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Aug 19 2021

While they might have been one of the first ones to play a heavy metal-esque sound, they didn't really do it well

Drunk by Thundercat
Aug 20 2021

Interesting album for sure, nice smooth r&b and electronic beats

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Aug 21 2021

What a stroke of genius, so many instruments, so many intricate melodies and harmonies, and all of it played by an 19 year old in 1973

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Aug 22 2021

Great Rock album, awesome of course as a debut album, but overall it has three great songs, couple of good songs and the rest of the songs fall off, being a three ish, so overall this combines for a good 4

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Aug 24 2021

Great suprise here, the album is full of catchy songs with lots of harmonies, my guilty pleasure. Interesting sound also for late 80s, prog and psychodelic rock paired with some 80s dance influence

Gold by Ryan Adams
Aug 25 2021

Way too long but besides that an entertaining combination out of folk, rock and roll and country

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Aug 26 2021

Very rough, the experimental aspect is fine, it just sounds bad. If you take away the electronic parts, you have a decent albums so that's what saves it from a 1

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Aug 27 2021

This was a nice surprise and quite suitable for me as it was not too raw Post-Punk. Still melodic music, singing was also actual singing so this deserves a 4

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Aug 28 2021

Very atmospheric and unorthodox, with lots of instrumental parts and little singing. 4 for creativity

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 31 2021

Great easy listening rock, impossible not to like

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Sep 01 2021

Nice voice but would have liked the songs to be a bit more uptempo, like this they were somewhat a bit dull and monotonous

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Sep 03 2021

Decent instrumental album, would have liked some more diversity in sound and melodies

Country Life by Roxy Music
Sep 04 2021

Not bad but just very uneventful

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 05 2021

Not my music at all, but even then I found the album to be very repetitive and boring

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Sep 06 2021

A album that could have been decent, if they decided to make proper songs and not try to be innovative with weird sounds and noises

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Sep 07 2021

Found this album very generic pop music, expected a bit more uniqueness from an album of a music legend

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Sep 08 2021

Fails to leave a lasting Impression, mellow sound but no song really drives the album

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Sep 09 2021

Nice to hear some Sinatra sequel music from Brazil, interesting to listen to it and it's influences

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Sep 10 2021

No music there to review, just some noise

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 11 2021

Not sure I do understand the sense or right of existence for this kind of music but at least it had some melodies, even though one heard it all after 30 seconds of the song

Low by David Bowie
Sep 12 2021

While this Album still has great innovation and Bowie's mastermind, the end result from a music standpoint is just not my cup of tea

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Sep 13 2021

Probably the most Africa sounding album so far, interesting to listen to for sure

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 14 2021

Nice blues rock that sounds like a big jam party. No Song really stands out and carries the album, the album is a rad bit too long but still good rock

Illmatic by Nas
Sep 15 2021

The beats are simple and lacking a bit, rapping flow is nice. Overall a decent album that isn't too long

Sep 16 2021

Personally I'm not a fan of the funky beats and light, not- so-serious lyrics but that's obviously also the time, not just this album alone

Sep 18 2021

What a great album, combines the positive aspects of britpop with some heavier guitars and stadium anthem like choruses

White Light by Gene Clark
Sep 19 2021

The songs sounds all too similar, nothing really stands out. Decent country-esque but not more

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Sep 20 2021

Bit weird sounding at first, with ProgRock/Psycholedia/Instrumental parts mixed with some slow ballad-type songs but if one embraces the weirdness it ends up being quite a nice ride

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Sep 21 2021

Never thought much of her but this was actually a decent album, great combination of pop, r&b and hip hop styles

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Sep 22 2021

Hip Hop pioneers whose album was unfortunately only half available, hard to review the album like this

Signing Off by UB40
Sep 23 2021

Reggae album that fails to leave a lasting impression as all the songs sound very much the same and fade into ambience very quickly

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Sep 24 2021

Very very raw and super short, the latter is the best thing about this album

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Sep 25 2021

Decent rock album that doesnt contain any songs though that leave a lasting impression

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Sep 26 2021

Bit too raw and aggressive for my liking, would have appreciated bit more singing than yelling but overall not as bad as imagined which probably is aided by the short runtime

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Sep 27 2021

Hard to find anything positive about this, 1 hour of electronic noise over some ambiance music

No Other by Gene Clark
Sep 28 2021

Better than his previous album because it's more of a personal sound and not so Dylan esque however still a bit lacking to give it a 4

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Sep 29 2021

Half the album wasn't available on Spotify but what I've heard was repetitive and unimaginative

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Sep 30 2021

Nice album however the whole Bossa Nova genre is a bit too slow and monotonous for me

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Oct 01 2021

Nice album, great runtime and good mix of songs and instruments

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 02 2021

Very influential album with high class lyrics but musically I didn't like how many songs were cut up by interludes and spoken word passages. The rapping could have been a bit more focused, he sounded bored at times

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Oct 03 2021

Interesting to listen to this influential artist but personally I'm not really touched by it nor am I anything but indifferent to it

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 04 2021

Enjoyable R&B album with heavy pop influences that does lack more great songs though to warrant a fourth star

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Oct 05 2021

What a wonderfully weird album, A side is more rock, B side is more pop but always with a special psychodelic/mad edge

Pump by Aerosmith
Oct 06 2021

Just a nice and solid rock album that is no groundbreaker by any means but instead is a catchy album that is very easy listening

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Oct 07 2021

Not bad but just way too long to keep my attention. It's more of a sampler of different country musicians so hard to compare to proper albums

Diamond Life by Sade
Oct 08 2021

Nice enjoyable album, easy listening yet not boring or simple. Liked the saxophone and the vibe

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Oct 09 2021

Decent but nothing special, songs all sound very similar

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Oct 10 2021

Decent album, definitely a great background music but not my type of music for main listening ourposes

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Oct 11 2021

Nice melancholic and slow folk, missing some versatility for a higher rating though

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Oct 12 2021

Fast and raw with long songs that often sound like different songs stuck together but nonetheless a great album

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Oct 13 2021

Missed opportunity to combine the Europop beats with real catchy songs

Pretenders by Pretenders
Oct 14 2021

Not a big fan of her voice but also overall lacking any big and great songs

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 15 2021

Interesting, unorthodox "spacy" sound but fails to catch my attention further

Oct 16 2021

Not a big fan of funk but the combination of rock made it decent for me. Songs bit too long and repetitive

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 17 2021

Overall not bad but too long and too much of a mix of styles without excelling at any of them and no song really sticking out

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 18 2021

Much to my surprise I quite liked this, the songs were quite catchy and I liked the guitar and voice harmonies

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 19 2021

Nice to hear but fails to be more than classical background music for my ears

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 20 2021

Fairly indifferent about this one, neither great nor bad, just bang average

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Oct 22 2021

Actually quite liked this, good voice, loved the guitar

Dust by Screaming Trees
Oct 23 2021

Quite liked this one, each song belonged on the album, great riffs

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Oct 24 2021

This was both annoying and just not good. Annoying voice, simple and bothersome electronic beats, hardly real singing.....

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 25 2021

Important rap album but the combination of funky beats and short back and forth rap isn't my favourite

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Oct 26 2021

Nice voice but overall the songs are a bit too mellow, quiet for my liking and too monotonous

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Oct 27 2021

Decent post punk that is a bit quiet. However no son really sticks out, the music turns into background music rather quickly

Harvest by Neil Young
Oct 30 2021

Great album showing the versatility of Neil. Slow, fast, country, rock..... And always great lyrics

Oct 31 2021

Great, powerful rock album. Every song belongs on the album and knows to entertain

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Nov 01 2021

Decent album with one famous song (Epic). Stylistically all over the place, which isn't a bad thing but ultimately not enough to warrant a 4

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 02 2021

Nice album, enjoyed the uniqueness of the flute, combined with some "old sounding progressive/psycholedic" tunes. Also liked the singing voice of Ian

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 03 2021

Great rock album that was ahead of its time and is thoroughly entertaining

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Nov 04 2021

Easy listening however the very repetitive style of all the songs got old quick

Picture Book by Simply Red
Nov 05 2021

easy listening, typical 80s synth style with a smooth voice. Nice!

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 08 2021

Short album that is technically even shorter since it's filled with interludes. Decent 80s pop, although a rather annoying singing voice

Elastica by Elastica
Nov 09 2021

Decent alternative rock that fails to be more than average

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Nov 10 2021

Very unorthodox, would have liked a bit more singing than speaking but overall not bad

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Nov 11 2021

Enjoyable 60s rock that sounds very Beatles esque

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Nov 12 2021

Decent prog rock live album that does lack great songs though and thus remains average

The Specials by The Specials
Nov 13 2021

Interesting combo, did mind the punkish singing but enjoyed the catchy rythmsnof the ska

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Nov 14 2021

Decent album, typical british new wave, nice electro sound but fails to leave a lasting impression

Nov 15 2021

Great and versatile album, loved "One day like this"

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Nov 16 2021

Just too messy and unremarkable to be anything more than average

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Nov 17 2021

Great easy listening music, hard to find any faults

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 18 2021

Nice easy listening album with great instrumentals

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Nov 19 2021

Not bad but lacking any standout things, just too "standard"

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 20 2021

Ultimately a bit disappointing, half the songs were really raw and mainly screaming, the other half of the songs were decent but didn't compare to Nevermind's songs

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Nov 21 2021

Nice and entertaining classic rock but not enough for me for 4 stars

Closer by Joy Division
Nov 22 2021

Yet another post punk that disappoints. Really did not like the way the singer's voice sounds and how it's almost more spoken than sung

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Nov 24 2021

Surprisingly not too bad

Queen II by Queen
Nov 26 2021

Nice combo of progressive rock's weirdness and Queen's singing quirks and harmonies

American Pie by Don McLean
Nov 28 2021

Decent easy listening, bit too slow for my liking but overall not bad

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Nov 29 2021

Not my cup of tea and a bit boring but objectively not a bad album. But also not really a good one either

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 01 2021

Great easy listening, hard to find something not like about this, country at its most enjoyable

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Dec 03 2021

Bit disappointing, the music was just a big mash, the singing was mainly ooooohs and aaaaaahs and the structure of the songs was non existent

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Dec 04 2021

Great album that, due to it being not too hard and aggressive and it's somewhat catchy songs is also great for people who are normally not too much into the genre

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Dec 05 2021

Folk mixed with psychodelic, liked it and wanted to applaud the thinking outside the box mentality here

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Dec 06 2021

This was great, it's exactly what I loved about the Stephen Stills album and what I often missed in Neil Young's Solo albums: the edge, provided by the guitar and riffs that were probably provided by Stills. It's a perfect length album with a wide array of songs, slow, mid tempo, fast, quiet, heavier. It's easy listening with a rock edge, what's not to love

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 07 2021

Bruce managed to create a album not full of hits but full of atmosphere, storytelling and great music

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Dec 08 2021

Decent rock album that is too long and lacking highlights to be

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 09 2021

Unfortunately below expectations, Heroes as a lead single isn't even that good, the rest of the songs fail to coming close to anything remarkable and the instrumental/ambience B Side was redundant

Rapture by Anita Baker
Dec 10 2021

Easy listening for the background but the songs itself were too similar to not make this another decent album that will be forgotten after a few days

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Dec 11 2021

Decent jazz album that's great as background music but fails to really convince as the only source of entertainment

Destroyer by KISS
Dec 12 2021

Entertaining and catchy rock album that is very easy to listen to and hard to find flaws

xx by The xx
Dec 13 2021

Decent minimalistic indie, that creates a special atmosphere which makes it perfect for background listening but fails to command more attention

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 14 2021

Nice music for the background but for today's ears, it fails to be more than that unless you are a affictionado

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Dec 15 2021

What a uniquely weird Album. Tom has a unique voice and a unique, I orthodox way of using it. The background music is minimalistic but works and fits the bill

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 16 2021

The genre itself is just too messy for me, the sound and vocals are merging into each other, hard to hear and understand anything. Songs are not catchy or memorable either

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 17 2021

Decent album, very beatles-eque with a couple of songs that became famous later on due to being covered

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Dec 18 2021

Nice, atmospheric folk album. Runtime was just right, not too long. Maybe lacked one or two standout songs but still a good album

Purple Rain by Prince
Dec 19 2021

Really liked the combination of catchy pop sounds paired with the extravaganza of Prince's rock and funk

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Dec 20 2021

Ultimately just too uneventful and boring sounding to be anything more than a 3

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Dec 21 2021

Personally I found this type of jazz to be too fast paced, listening to it was not relaxing or a joyful experience but it felt like one was being rushed and almost stressful. Objectively though it's a good album by a legendary artist so I'm giving this the standard 3 for world/others

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Dec 22 2021

Wanted to like this better with except for great guitar work it's a pretty unremarkable album

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Dec 24 2021

Great rock album, few songs are a bit too heavy but the rest is great rock that is hard to dislike

Dec 25 2021

Bob Dylan is always a great listen, what a magnificent storyteller but in this case, the bare bones acoustic background music just left one wanting a bit more

Dec 26 2021

Tough to rate what is technically a sampler as a "normal" album but if looking at the songs individually you have good to great reinditions of classic Christmas songs which help making this album as good for Christmas listening as a Spotify playlist

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Dec 27 2021

The temptations going psychodelic, interesting concept but fails to fullz convince after a few songs

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Dec 28 2021

Indie rock meets electronica, an album devout of any highlights or anything worthwhile remembering

Dec 29 2021

Despite the album having lots of covers, this one deserves a 4 since Cash really put his own personal stamp on each of them

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Dec 30 2021

Nice voice and atmosphere but ultimately the songs fail to impress or leave a lasting memory, all being rather similar and without highlights

Dare! by The Human League
Dec 31 2021

Solid and catchy 80s synth pop that is unfortunately too repetitive to justify a 4 stars

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 01 2022

A through and through high level album, similar storytelling like Neil Young or Bob Dylan, here with a fun-sounding world music twist

Jan 02 2022

Just like the other album of theirs, an album that lacks highlights in Form of great standout songs or solos

Odelay by Beck
Jan 03 2022

This truly was a huge disappointment for me. A Grammy winning album that is jumping from genre to genre with each song, each time in a worse manner while sounding awfully a lot like Kid Rock

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 04 2022

Nice rock with Celtic influences which are not too overwhelming or too much, just the right amount. Makes for a enjoyable, happy listen, albeit a bit too long

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Jan 05 2022

A great album that seems to encompassing of everything 80. Synth pop, new wave, some prog rock esque sounds, a 15 minute song on the first half, couple of covers and sandwiched by two of the biggest 80s songs with Relax and Power of Love

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 06 2022

Punk that seemed slightly less aggravating than some others before however it's still a genre and album that I cannot ensure for longer than 10 minutes

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jan 07 2022

Decent easy listening album of mostly Motown and soul covers that ultimately though fails to provide any real highlights

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jan 08 2022

What a great pro album. More towards pop than rock and lacking a bit guitar but that gets made up by that great sounding keyboard being prominent

Jan 09 2022

This was a revelation, awesome guitar playing paired with some brass/orchestral sounds paired with some prog experiments produce a album that is long but doesn't fail to amaze. Enjoyable and catchy songs that finish with a 14 minute epic, what's not to love?

Jan 10 2022

Surprisingly great quality of recording and also the band sounding very much like in the studio. The songs are all very similar but despite that, I couldn't help but to nod along and enjoy the album which is why I'm going to bump this up to a 4

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 11 2022

Like most of the world music: interesting and nice to have heard it once but that's it

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 12 2022

Great Album that combines the best elements of early 2000s alternative rock and Brit Pop

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jan 13 2022

Not bad and definitely one of the more easy listening rap albums

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jan 14 2022

Not a bad album but personally just a bit too unorthodox and weird

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 15 2022

Surprisingly decent electronic album with enjoyable melodies and also some vocal songs

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 16 2022

Decent album that while never annoying, also fails to make a big and lasting impact

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 17 2022

CCR is always good, catchy and simple songs that are always enjoyable. This album however did miss the last bit to propell it to a 5

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jan 18 2022

Arguably the most neutral, uneventful, uninspiring album so far

Who's Next by The Who
Jan 19 2022

What a great album! Compared to earlier Who albums, this is a marvel. "Bookended" by three mega hits, the rest of the album is studded with everything, fast paced songs, power ballads, guitars, synthesisers

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jan 20 2022

Decent easy listening that drags on a bit long though and the rather basic concept loses its appeal rather quickly

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Jan 21 2022

A punk album that is rather on the side side of the spectrum. Tolerable and listenable, without any real heights or lows

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 22 2022

What a masterpiece. Not a single bad songs, great variety in styles, great guitar play, big hits.... What's not to like

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jan 23 2022

Not bad but actually somewhat boring. Slow pace, similar style of all the songs, just not memorable

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jan 24 2022

A album that stylistically might have been a bit ahead of its time but for today's standards lacks highlights and is rather boring

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Jan 25 2022

Actually really liked that. It was 90s Alternative Rock and even some sounds that I would attribute to late 90s Pop-Punk, combined with 70s rock and made a great combination

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Jan 26 2022

Does what its supposed to do it you want something to drown out the silence but can't say that it's anything more than that

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jan 28 2022

Decent soul album that has no real issues but fails so provoke more interest. great for the background

Blur by Blur
Jan 29 2022

A great Brit Pop band forsakes Brit Pop in an effort to sound more American and produce an average album that could have been by any of the thousands of alternative rock bands

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jan 30 2022

Surprisingly not that bad, liked the mystical vibe that it created

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jan 31 2022

Good and highly unique/creative album. Very much liked the "up and down" between hard metal and softer parts

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Feb 01 2022

Decent album that's a bit too long and too all over the place to really get going and leave an impression

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Feb 02 2022

What a great and uplifting album. Robbie can sing just about anything, fronted by two of his biggest hits, each song belongs on the album and has a unique edge, definitely no standard, boring pop

Da Capo by Love
Feb 03 2022

Typical 60s with some psychodelic pop edge. Not bad but in the end the album is just going to be one of hundreds that are not bad but listening to them once is enough

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Feb 04 2022

Easy listening music that sounds jolly. Not bad but nothing really stood out

Feb 05 2022

A good double album with nice piano-heavy music that however leaves me wanting a bit more. A bit more rock, a bit more prog rock and also a bit more diversity

Feb 06 2022

This wasn't super rough to listen to but it's hard to understand how an album full of just beats could be considered a must hear

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Feb 07 2022

Decent album with nice synth beats that are a little bit too repetitive and similar sounding throughout the album

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 08 2022

Great album that isn't fronted by big hits but rather convinces with a high quality throughout the whole album. Loved the sound

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Feb 09 2022

Decent country album with great runtime that doesn't stand out from the crowd of similar albums

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Feb 10 2022

Great pop album that is focusing on its strengths and not trying to be something it shouldn't be. Great variety of songs, all at a very high quality level, they all belong there

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Feb 11 2022

Interesting and unique concept that ends in a double album of average country rock that fails to leave an impression

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 12 2022

Good album, very beatles-eque with a blues touch. Not a real bad song but also not a lot of song standing out very positively

Pornography by The Cure
Feb 13 2022

Found this album rather obnoxious and too "in-your-face". The instruments are very loud and noisy and the almost crying-out-loud singing style make for a very noisy experience. All the sounds kinda sound the same which culminated in a sensory overload for me

The Visitors by ABBA
Feb 14 2022

A ABBA album that, despite lacking huge hits and being less light in terms of lyrical content, still entertains massively and doesn't have a bad song over a great runtime of just shy of 40 minutes They never fail to bring good mood and cheer up

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Feb 15 2022

Wanted to give this a fair chance but just couldn't. Already not a favourite genre of mine but it felt also that half the album was just kinda a waste of time. The first track was an okay instrumental that lacked any real highlights or any that warranted it being 10 minutes long. Then followed a few rather short songs, one as unspectacular and forgettable as the other before we arrived at the closing track, Wars of Armageddon. This one should have been called Noise of Armageddon and is really a 10 minute shittake. And I don't mean the Asian mushroom! The kind of noise and sounds that are in there make you go wtf is this.and even after sitting through all of it, I still wonder what exactly the point or purpose of this was. This one did feel like a waste of 36 minutes and left me with no choice but to hand out another 2 stars

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 16 2022

Entertaining album, reminds me a lot of Elton John with an Edge due to the piano focus. Definitely a good album though without any big standouts

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 17 2022

Not as bad or aggressive as their previous album but this is still far beyond anything I would enjoy as music

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Feb 18 2022

Enjoyable and diverse album with a consistent quality in the songs

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Feb 19 2022

While this electronic album thankfully does have lyrics, their mediocrity does little to save this album

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Feb 20 2022

English/Portuguese mix with Bossa Nova and Swing influences. Interesting combo but nothing more

OK by Talvin Singh
Feb 21 2022

While Indian influences proved to be a fresh take on electronic music, the album is too long and the new idea also gets old fast

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 22 2022

Great guitar play but the rest of the album is just decent to good. Bit disappointed, expected a bit more progressive or heavier stuff. Seems to be going more into the direction of for example The Who, without ever reaching that greatness

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Feb 23 2022

What a ride, this album has it all. Catchy choruses, great guitar work, especially love the piano work. All in all this always feels massive, like a grand opera. Every song is a great one, definitely one of the albums I personally enjoyed the most so far

Vespertine by Björk
Feb 24 2022

Björk doesn't have a as voice but it almost seems wasted on such a minimalistic and almost boring music style

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Feb 25 2022

Overall just very odd with weird noises etc. The fact that the oddness is the only thing I remember a day later, clearly says something

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 26 2022

Great overall album, very easy listening and good for everybody, not just Hip Hop fans, since it's a great combination of Hip Hop with some singing, some soul and R&B etc

GI by Germs
Feb 27 2022

Guitar noise accompanied by screaming, what's there to like?

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 28 2022

Just an overall good album, classic rock and roll mixed with some new influences and outcomes an album that keeps a good pace and quality throughout its 40 minutes runtime. Costello doesn't amaze but he never disappoints

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Mar 01 2022

Decent album that is without real highlights nor low lights. Typical 3 stars

Street Life by The Crusaders
Mar 02 2022

Somewhat surprisingly quite liked this. The jazz and funk combo was very groovy and found myself nodding along to it more than usually with an genre like that

The Predator by Ice Cube
Mar 03 2022

Decent album that actually sounds much more modern than it is due to it being similar to the Gangsta Rap of the early 2000s.

While behind expectations and less rock than expected, it's still an album full of enjoyable and catchy songs

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 05 2022

What a true masterpiece. Not sure there is a better and more hit-loaded A-Side than this one. Each song of the album could be a single and a hit, no song is like the other, the combination of three great vocalists plus Lindsey's guitar play. Doesn't get much better than this

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Mar 06 2022

Decent pop/rock album with a storytelling style lyricism. Tad bit long but overall catchy enough to warrant 4 stars

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Mar 07 2022

Great Album with a high quality of songs. Feels somewhat like a textbook alternative rock album

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Mar 08 2022

Enjoyable live album that is full of typical classic rock music and also boasts a few "classics" that everybody has heard of or heard before. Being a live album it is rather long of course but overall still a good experience

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Mar 09 2022

Did want to like it but realistically it's just not my cup of tee. The beats are funky and minimalistic, the rapping is, while lyrically on a unique level, often interrupted and lacking flow. Personally I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped i would

The Band by The Band
Mar 10 2022

Decent classic rock that, 50 years later though has lost a bit of its uniqueness. What's left is good music without any real highlights though

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Mar 11 2022

Positively surprised at first due to the combo of rock and Indian music but as the album progressed, the novelty wore off. Just a decent album, no more

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 12 2022

Great and unusual combination of jazz and rock/pop. Couldn't stop myself from feeling relaxed and happy by the music

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Mar 13 2022

An album that is like a wallflower. Unspectacular, just kind of flows along like a river but in essence isn't bad. Just unremarkable both in positive and negative ways

Mar 14 2022

Compared to other works of his, this was rather disappointing. The songs all sounded very very similar, also the same, basic background music and always the rather same singing. In the end not bad but for such a highly rated artist it was disappointing

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Mar 15 2022

Great, timeless album. Harrowing and soothing voice paired with great guitar playing. Quite liked this !

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Mar 16 2022

Entertaining classic rock album, not as good as some other legendary bands bit still enjoyable

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Mar 17 2022

Very odd album, typical late 60s and Britain. Not bad but can definitely get annoying

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 18 2022

The definition of a 3, not bad but neither remarkable or memorable

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 19 2022

Very interesting and unorthodox, pop sound with a very interesting edge, sounds a bit like Madonna but also not at all because way less polished and more interesting

Mar 20 2022

Very typical 80s disco pop, catchy tunes but all in all just too similar to each other

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Mar 21 2022

Great atmosphere but hasn't necessarily aged well because what was maybe a first back then and very influential, has now, 55 years later, been done often and better

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 22 2022

Pop with a little rocky edge, not bad but just a bit too generic. Besides the big hit, no song really stands out nor is of hit material

Palo Congo by Sabu
Mar 23 2022

Conga music that focuses just a bit too much solely on the rythm to provide any but a decent but not very memorable experience

Mar 24 2022

Really liked Tupacs rapping skills but the songs overall lacked a great beat and were too similar too each other. Also lacking a big standout song

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Mar 25 2022

Started out as decent alt rock before becoming a bit too aggressive and loud at the end. Great runtime though

Rocks by Aerosmith
Mar 26 2022

Nothing revolutionary and album lacks real highlights but If you break it down it still remains a well done rock album

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 27 2022

Even non-instrumental electronic music is still electronic music at the core: doesn't give anything at all and is rather annoying

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 28 2022

Great album, Bruce is able to pull off just about anything. Fast paced upbeat songs as well as slower, sad pieces, it always sounds like he was born to do exactly this. A album which contains half of his greatest hits has to be a 5 star rsting

Technique by New Order
Mar 29 2022

Suprisingly decent electronic album because, except for the first song, all the songs have vocals and its not as experimental as some of the 90s electronic. In essence, this reminds very much of the early 80s synth pop, so actually fairly decent, easy listening

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Mar 30 2022

Decent Folk-Rock that is easy listening, without any real high- nor lowlights.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Mar 31 2022

Very influential and ahead of its time, however if we leave this out and purely focus on the music, then its just not more than 3 stars for me. The melodies and instrumentals are decent, could have done without many of the lyrics

Apr 01 2022

Very enjoyable Folk album. Liked the celtic influences as well as their hamonies. Album got a bit weaker at the end when the songs turned slower and more sad

Apr 02 2022

Solid album but nothing more. No song really stood out and in the end I didn't feel like this was a revolution or reinvented the wheel

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Apr 03 2022

Loud, messy, bad recording quality, hardly a song structure, an album to forget

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Apr 05 2022

Very unorthodox album, not sure I'm a fan. Typical three although closer to a 2 than a 4

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 06 2022

A very average album that lacked any highlights and suffers from a long length and messy sounding production/recording

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Apr 07 2022

Surprisingly modern sounding world music album that is a bit too long

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 08 2022

Great album with some massive hits. Liked how they reduced the funk sound which is ultimately what made the album more enjoyable to me

Is This It by The Strokes
Apr 09 2022

The epitomy of alternative/indie rock in the early 2000s. Solid songs but none stands out, feel like I've heard any of them hundred times before as part of a soundtrack to a movie or video game

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Apr 12 2022

Nice playing but didn't like the length and relative similar sound of the pieces. Would have liked more themes and versatility

Third by Portishead
Apr 13 2022

Yet another electronic atrocity. Weird, bad sounding background noise, lyrics that are just there to have them because for anything else they're not good enough....

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Apr 14 2022

Entertaining album, very easy listening, whats not to like about catchy pop/rock songs with some jazz influences

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Apr 16 2022

Great easy listening album full of jolly folly songs. Hard not to like it

Odessa by Bee Gees
Apr 17 2022

The Bee Gees before their trademark Discopop and Falsetto wasn't bad music but unfortunately it was severely lacking identity and something to stand out from. In the end it's not a bad album but one that is without real highlight, too long and also rather repetitive

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Apr 18 2022

Yet another hardcore punk album that is exactly the same and has only it's short runtime going for it

Apr 19 2022

Great 1-2-3 punch at the beginning with some of their greatest hits, after that the album becomes weaker but is still very solid pop/rock that knows how to entertain

Ctrl by SZA
Apr 20 2022

Decent R&B/Rap that doesn't really offer anything and whose addition to this list is questionable. Not bad enough for a two stars though

Skylarking by XTC
Apr 21 2022

Solid and enjoyable album with some Britpop and 60s pop elements. I can't tell you why I like it specifically but I can tell you that I do!

Sea Change by Beck
Apr 22 2022

Not sure why this album is groundbreaking enough to be on the list but asides from that, its certainly not bad, just also nothing remarkable either. No highlights make for a long listening

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Apr 23 2022

Despite it being questionable that this album is a must hear, it is a very solid and enjoyable country pop album. Could do with maybe one or two big hits but overall good

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 24 2022

Great Album, can't help but to feel happy and in an elevated spirit when listening to those upbeat African rythms. Paul's great voice and folk style singing is the perfect bridge to make this combo easy listening

Debut by Björk
Apr 25 2022

Just a very odd album, not a fan of the slow electro beats with psychodelic elements and her voice that sounds very bored but also in pain at the same time

evermore by Taylor Swift
Apr 26 2022

Although its questionable if this is a must hear, it still is a very good album. This music style is the logical evolution to Taylor's early Country-Pop and she is able to create a very atmospheric experience here. No song is a masterpiece but there are a handful of 4 star songs and overall this album is, although a bit too long, a great listening experience

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 27 2022

Not bad but for today's ears, the revolutionary and groundbreaking aspect of her music style has disappeared. A decent album without any real highlights

More Specials by The Specials
Apr 28 2022

Pretty much like any other Ska album out there: entertaining and lightening the mood for 15-20 minutes, after that it becomes a bit too much

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Apr 30 2022

Entertaining and very easy listening. Definitely could feel the relaxed, California-vibe. Enjoyable album although it's lacking real stand-out songs

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 01 2022

While I appreciate the more diverse background music, I still can't get behind the "yelling" aspect of their rapping and found the frequent instrumental tracks aswell as the many short songs of 2 minutes or so rather annoying and overused

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
May 02 2022

Great, easy listening album. Fast paced folk with nice harmonies and great run time, what's not to love

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 03 2022

Starts out good but as the album progressed it became less typical Neil Young and also the songs got worse. Overall not a bad album but it left me a bit disappointed, especially right after listening to the Byrd's which is everything this album could and should have been

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
May 04 2022

Not what I expected from the beach boys. Not necessarily bad but I found it just lacking that little extra something. The songs were very similar to each other and could have done with some variation

May 05 2022

Decent album but was missing a big hit or stand out song to elevate it to 4 stars

Melodrama by Lorde
May 06 2022

Enjoyable album that is a great atmospheric experience. It does however lack standout songs besides Green Light and thus fails to impress me enough for 4 stars

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
May 07 2022

Decent album, great combination of African Influences and vocals with some western guitar play

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
May 08 2022

Like the majority of other world music albums, nice to hear for the first time and learn about it, but nothing more

Rio by Duran Duran
May 09 2022

Great album, has a few big hits that even today still roam the music radios. The synth pop style is not for everyone but I do like it, it puts me in a good mood and makes for an enjoyable listening

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 10 2022

Enjoyable and diverse album with folk, pop, rock, psychodelic elements. No song really stands out but it's an overall great album

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
May 11 2022

Very solid Blues Rock album with a Nonplusultra guitar play by Eric Clapton which deserves the 4 stars by itself already

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
May 12 2022

What a great album. 3-4 of Bon Jovi's biggest hits are on here and the rest of the songs are also not far behind in terms of quality. 80s rock at its finest

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
May 13 2022

Alternative Rock that's a bit too "hard" for me but is tolerable. Definitely seems to be "ahead" of its time, sounding more like the late 90s/early 2000s alternative rock

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 14 2022

Good album that was carried by its dense mystical atmosphere, created by the instruments and the singing. No song really stood out but the album was an enjoyable experience

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 15 2022

Not my cup of tea at all. Very messy and "noisy", the songs lacked structured and the vocals were more yelled than sung. All this for 60 minutes was just too much

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
May 16 2022

Smooth R&B album with lots of creative influences. Not bad but could have done with probably 20 minutes less runtime

High Violet by The National
May 17 2022

Tough to critique but I just kinda like the sound of it and the way it creates a atmosphere with the instruments.

Sheet Music by 10cc
May 18 2022

Decent, back to basics 70s rock. good runtime but would have wished one or two more memorable songs to bump it to a 4

Future Days by Can
May 19 2022

What a unorthodox album! Long invididual tracks that consist of hardly more than trippy & psychodelic ambiance music and about the same amount of vocals as the "Next Stop"-announcement on Public transport

Hms Fable by Shack
May 20 2022

Great album, combines the best aspects of Britpop with some Indie and Folk elements. Especially loved the harmonies and the catchiness of the songs

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
May 21 2022

Atmospheric album that is typically Dylan although, especially lyrics wise, falls short compared to his older stuff and is way too long

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
May 22 2022

What a great album! The guitar play is textbook perfect, without being too much or overshadowing the vocals.

Black Metal by Venom
May 23 2022

Although it was one of the first thrash metal albums, it doesnt mean that I enjoyed it. Just a tad bit too aggressive for me and the "satanic" theme that runs through the whole album is just not something I can get behind

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
May 24 2022

Does a "not-great" Simon & Garfunkel album even exist? In less than 30 minutes, those two manage to pack a vast variety of songs, some faster, some slower, some louder, some quieter, all at a high quality and always with their signature acoustic and harmony-laden sound. What's not to love?

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
May 25 2022

Unfortunately this CD only contained a bunch of noise, no songs or anything else that could be called music was detected

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
May 26 2022

Steely Dan are always a guarantee for good, light hearted, easy.lsitening music and this album is no difference

I Against I by Bad Brains
May 27 2022

Unremarkable album without any highlights or anything. Textbook 3 stars that is quickly forgotten again

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
May 28 2022

Easy listening soul, nothing really wrong with that

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 29 2022

Standard 3 stars for me here, nice to hear and listen to for the first time but not my genre and this album doesn't change that fact either

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
May 30 2022

Yet another wonderfully unorthodox and at times even weird Tom Waits album. Kudos to him for having and sticking to his own style. This album however I found a tad bit too long and lacking any stand out songs, making this album only memorable due to Waits' unique style and not due to the individual songs

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
May 31 2022

Unfortunately an album that seemed very monotonous to me, every song sounded very similar and didn't have much going on

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 01 2022

Entertaining album with a couple of standout songs. Second half of the album was weaker and could have been 10-15 minutes shorter but definitely more up my alley in terms of the faster, darker beats of the early 2000s

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jun 02 2022

Dare I say typical early Beatles? Short runtime, short songs that are somewhat similar ..... But they work! It's easy listening, it's never boring or dull

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jun 03 2022

*Insert standard World music 3 star rating here*

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 04 2022

Little bit too aggressive and all over the place for me, yet still not bad enough to be worse than 3

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jun 06 2022

Original country music that is bookended by two great, faster songs which I liked a lot. In between there were loads of slower ballads that, despite me wishing a bit faster tempo, were still good and enjoyable

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jun 07 2022

Nice sounding album however I found most of the songs to be rather similar/monotonous and paired with the very minimalist background music, it failed to leave a lasting impression

Jun 08 2022

Take a slow and rather uneventful/boring genre like Bossa Nova and then inexplicably combine it with shitty electronic music and out comes this

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jun 09 2022

What a great album! I knew if Billy's legend status but had never really heard anything of his music. This is how I expected and wanted Elton John's music to sound: pompous, sophisticated yet easy listening, meaningful lyrics yet catchy songs

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jun 10 2022

Great and versatile rock album. Can hear lots of different influences/directions in this one, from Britpop, Blues, Folk, Country. Slightly too long but never boring

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jun 11 2022

Great and enjoyable pop/r&b album. Couple of big hits, couple of other higher tempo songs, albeit a bit too long

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jun 12 2022

Decent album that has some interesting sounds but overall, over the whole duration of the album, it just doesn't offer enough to justify more than being average

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 13 2022

Great guitar play as always but the songs itself lack a real structure and are not much more than some jam sessions

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jun 14 2022

Interesting combination out of some smooth R&B, some disco/funk and also some instrumentals with electric guitar. In the end of the day though not enough to warrant 4 stars

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jun 15 2022

Quite an unorthodox, electronic sound, not bad but not my personal favourite. With more traditional hip hop beats, this could have been 4 stars

Jun 16 2022

What an artistry! This is no ordinary hip hop album, this is a music album! Kanye is going places that I have never seen and imagined in this genre ever before! This album is proof that Kanye is just one of those guys that really can pull off anything, no matter how obscure or unorthodox the idea might be

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jun 17 2022

What a fantastic album, super easy listening while never being dull, boring or simple. As always I love the guitar work of Stephen stills and them combining their voices with harmonies in the majority of the songs was the last puzzle piece that I was missing from their other albums

Jun 18 2022

Unfortunately only a bit better than the Slim Shady LP. Still can't get behind the slim shady persona and it's silly, immature song topics. The more serious topics were the better songs however 2-3 good songs couldn't make up for the long runtime and a series of rather uninspiring songs

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jun 19 2022

Interesting to hear such an old and early album and compare to where music has went since then

Jun 21 2022

Just your average, run of the mill alternative rock album without any lows or highs

1999 by Prince
Jun 22 2022

Album started strong with the first three songs but afterwards fell off. The songs seemed artificially stretched by so la la instrumentals and lots of talking/whispering and overall quality went down

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jun 24 2022

Fairly standard New Wave without any highlights. If anything i found the music often to be cluttered and full with noises

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 25 2022

While this album is full of songs that are raw, sounding the same and are hard to understand, there is just something very undeniably rock and roll about it. Hard to put it into words but the songs rock!

Jun 26 2022

Typical honky tonk country, not bad to listen to over it's runtime of almost 40 minutes but offers little more than that

Fragile by Yes
Jun 27 2022

Surprisingly little rock but lots of instruments and "easy listening", reminded me almost of a rockier version of Steely Dan. Not bad but lacking anything outstanding or memorable

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jun 28 2022

Easy listening album which gives out this naturally soothing and relaxing atmosphere. Would have preferred a little bit more diversity to push it up to 4 stars though

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 29 2022

Not a bad album and I don't want to hate on the Beatles but especially taking into consideration the status the band and this album has, it is slightly disappointing. It's an album with good songs, thats for sure but especially 50 years later, the album just hasn't aged that well. Certainly not on par with some of the other albums that have shared the #1 spot here in the past

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 30 2022

What a weirdly unique album. Genres and languages mixed that you don't often hear. However in the end, the big memorable thing about this album is the uniqueness, not the quality

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jul 01 2022

Another of KDs albums that proves to be enjoyable with a little twist. This time the songs had a little "french"-touch to them. Interesting to hear but nothing that would prove to be a difference maker for a higher score

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 02 2022

This album doesn't reinvent the wheel nor is it full of mega hits but the sheer raw power and emotion in Janis' voice make this album so unique and deserve the 4 stars

Scum by Napalm Death
Jul 03 2022

One can hardly call this music

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jul 04 2022

A throwback to the Beach boys days however it still doesn't really reach me. The pop music is relaxed and easy listening but it doesn't really grab my attention etc

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jul 05 2022

Like other jazz albums, nice to hear but not really fair to compare against popular music so just a standard 3 from me

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 06 2022

Only a few songs available on Spotify but those few seemed enough to give a representative overview. 70s Soul combined with film soundtrack, decent music, nice to hear but that's about it

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jul 07 2022

Their third album is the first one that is turning into the direction of the blues rock that made them so famous. While it can not compete with their later albums such as Sticky Fingers, it still provides good entertainment, for me mainly due to the instrumentations which, although a bit noisy and messy, has good guitar sounds and solos. The vocals are a bit too messy for me

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 08 2022

Decent late 60s rock but besides the fact that this was probably one of the first concept albums, it's nothing remarkable

Ramones by Ramones
Jul 09 2022

Compared to other punk albums, this is definitely the most beginner friendly and softest one, with visible pop influences. However that doesn't change the fact that the music itself is still not good and memorable enough for me to justify 4 stars

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jul 10 2022

Reggae from Scotland, not a combination I would have ever expected. But regardless of that novelty, it was a fairly decent album

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jul 11 2022

Again an interesting time warp back to the days where our parents weren't even born yet however of course music wise it's nothing to write home about more than 60 years later

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jul 12 2022

Nothing new or surprising here, funk that is good for the background but that's it

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jul 13 2022

Very similar story like their other album we listened to: starts out good with nice songs and harmonies that remind you of Simon & Garfunkel or Crosby, Stills & Nash however as the album goes on, one realizes that all the songs are very similar to each other and none really stands out. Not a bad album but I can't give this more than 3 stars again

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jul 14 2022

How can one listen to this kind of music and not be jolly and wishing they were in a pub, raising a toast? Hard not to be instantly put into a good spirit listening to this album and while it was a wee bit long and lacked real stand out songs, it was overall a very enjoyable album that benefitted from its range of songs, from fast paced and more punkish to slower paced ballads, it had a little bit of everything

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Jul 15 2022

This album very much felt like a natural progression for Joni: as time does by, she (had to?) evolve a bit away from the stripped down, guitar-only music and this album proved that she could pull it off as well. A overall enjoyable album full of nice songs that maybe have a bit less storytelling quality but make it up with ncie but subtle background arrangements

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jul 16 2022

Early 2000s alternative rock with a progressive edge. Starts out quite good but at the end of the day, the rather long runtime and the fact that a lot of songs have instrumental parts or not a classic song structure prevent a higher rstingy

Faust IV by Faust
Jul 17 2022

Krautrock sounds to me always as if one turned the "progressive" dial a little bit too far. Just a bit too weird and experimental for me

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jul 18 2022

Mariah has a good voice but even though this song was a departure from her usual pop towards more R&B the album was just kinda boring. A whole hour of slow ballads that all sound the same is just not that entertaining

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 19 2022

What a great album, as always from Simon & Garfunkel. Not sure what's not to like, over 40 minutes, the album has everything. Slow ballads, fast paced folk songs, some experiments with Latin music and some filler songs that nobody would have missed.

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 20 2022

Similar to the Talking Heads, this is synth pop-rock that is just not quite there yet. Relatively monotonous, it's a little bit of everything but not enough in either direction. Very neutral

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 21 2022

Similarly to the Car album, this one could have been so much more entertaining if it was a bit more diverse and upbeat. In the end it was a rather boring and monotonous experience

Protection by Massive Attack
Jul 22 2022

Yet another electronic album, this one with half songs that are heavily influenced by different genres and the other ones purely instrumental. Unfortunately none of them at a rather good level but rather annoyingly bad

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jul 23 2022

Another Leonard Cohen Album that provides you with good music but this one is even more slow and minimalistic than the previous one and thus is just a little bit too boring for me

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 24 2022

Fast paced synth pop and catchy songs, over 50 minutes the Pet Shop Boys never fail to entertain

Hotel California by Eagles
Jul 25 2022

The A Side with its 4 powerhouse songs is among the best that's out there. The B side falls off,because while the songs are pretty much the same concept, they do not work as good as the previous ones and are way too long. Nonetheless a great album, however falls short of a masterpiece

Jul 26 2022

Objectively not a bad album but just wasn't for me. The combination of funky, repetitive beats and the very casual and sometimes very basic lyrics and all that for an hour only aggregated me

Arise by Sepultura
Jul 27 2022

Classic Heavy Metal from the 90s, not my favourite genre at all but this album managed to just stay within the "hardness"-threshold I can tolerate

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jul 28 2022

Actually really liked this combination, dreamy, somewhat futuristic sounds paired with the perfect voice for it. Perfect for a summer day

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jul 29 2022

Elvis Costello is always good for a enjoyable album. One of the biggest surprises in this experiment, I have yet to listen to a bad album of his. While his albums are not revolutionary or groundbreaking but they are consistently filed with good songs

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jul 30 2022

What a wonderfully unique goodbye from Leonard, in a way just he could have done it. Simplistic background with a Blues Touch, paired with pretty much only melodic speaking and storytelling. Great atmosphere

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jul 31 2022

Really surprised by this, expected nothing but just another average rock album but this was actually great. Fast paced rock, catchy melodies and songs that make you want to listen to more

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Aug 01 2022

Enjoyable album, reminds me a bit of the slower songs of REM. Nothing groundbreaking but just a good combination

Aug 02 2022

An album that sounds very crowded and at time a bit overwhelming due to so many rappers at the same time. Despite that, the album left me fairly neutral, nothing really positive or negative to point out

Roots by Sepultura
Aug 03 2022

This was just too "metal" for me. Too drums-focused and noisy and too little singing/too much screaming and growling

Different Class by Pulp
Aug 04 2022

Britpop never fails to deliver. This one is a nice, although bit too long, mix of entertaining Britpop songs with a focus on the acoustic guitar

Homework by Daft Punk
Aug 05 2022

Electronic continues to be a genre which I don't understand and fail to see the appeal in. At times 7 minutes of the same 10-20 seconds beat looped endlessly

Tommy by The Who
Aug 06 2022

Nice rock opera but a bit long, no songs really standing out and a story that's interesting but hard to follow

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Aug 07 2022

Decent album that just has a bit too much going on for me. There was something about the combination of the singing and the eclectic, progressive and at times weird sound that just made the album feel very strenuous to listen to

Aug 08 2022

Quite an enjoyable indie rock album! Great opening track and also the other songs didn't disappoint but made up for a high quality experience

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Aug 09 2022

Entertaining and catchy pop, just like it should be! Couple of big hits, great A side, decent B side.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Aug 10 2022

Decent alternative rock album, reminding me a bit of REM. Unfortunately way too long and also not memorable enough to warrant anything more than a 3

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Aug 12 2022

What a unique album. A classical suite reinterpreted and extended by a prog rock band. Fantastic sounding live album

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 13 2022

Just not my genre and the right in your face aspect of this album specifically made it even less enjoyable for me

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 14 2022

Nick Cave is the master of vibes. Crazy how, even in this case with just a piano and his voice, he is able to literally paint pictures with his music. No song really stood out to me but it was overall a album full of high quality songs

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Aug 15 2022

Ryan Adams' debut album with a, for me, unexpected country sound. Not bad and has a great duet with Emmylou Harris but overall just not memorable enough to warrant more than 3 stars

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 16 2022

All in all just a bit disappointing from such a big and hyped band. Besides One, no song stands out, they all sound kinda the same, too little focus on the guitar and overall just too long

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Aug 17 2022

A rather boring and unspectacular album. No song stood out and everything on this album has been heard many times from other artists

Aug 18 2022

A few nice songs on there but overall just not special enough and too long to stand out of the masses

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Aug 19 2022

Generally I liked women in rock and while this wasnt bad, it was just a bit too messy and all over the place

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Aug 20 2022

Cluttered, ambiance loops that go on for too long. However, it wasnt fully awful enough to give it a 2

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 21 2022

A strong voice, a style of music you don't hear every day and an armada of famous songwriters.... This album has all the ingredients for a great experience and it doesn't disappoint

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 22 2022

Just a plain average album. Not bad but nothing really stood out in any way

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Aug 23 2022

Decent album, just like the comparable ones from this time and genre it was nice and interesting to hear but thats about it

Dookie by Green Day
Aug 24 2022

Great entertaining album with fast paced songs and a good runtime. Definitely on the good side of the 4 star rating but lacking just one or two more big songs that stick out from the masses to get a 5 star rating from me

Aug 25 2022

Decent rock album but that's about it, nothing remarkable or outstanding about it

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Aug 26 2022

Entertaining country rock album that on the long haul turns out to be too similar and without real highlights

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 27 2022

Interesting to hear the early stages of punk, not as aggressive as punk became a few years later but certainly a departure of the rock that was prevalent in 73. The album was decent, good runtime, surprisingly preferred the faster songs over the slower ones at the end of the album

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Aug 28 2022

Decent and typical punk rock album without any highlights or standout moments

Soul Mining by The The
Aug 29 2022

Synth-Pop that sticks out from the rest of the New Wave albums due to the unique addition of elements such as an organ, a gospel choir, a piano solo. A for effort and creativity

Aug 30 2022

Coldplay always delivers good pop music. However, in the grand scheme of things, the album is good but thats it, no real highlights except for "Clocks" which is a nice throwback to my youth.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Aug 31 2022

Nothing worthwhile really, no song stood out, singing voice was close to being annoying.... Next please

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Sep 01 2022

Enjoyable synth-pop album that delivers with a slight progressive edge. Cool vibe and a good time

The Undertones by The Undertones
Sep 02 2022

Enjoyable and catchy album, reminded me a lot of a mixture of Pop-Punk and Celtic-Folk-Punk

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Sep 03 2022

Steely Dan just never fails to entertain. Great harmonies, great musicians, big variety of song styles and a great production. Top! 👍🏻

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 04 2022

Decent country album without any highlights or standout songs

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Sep 05 2022

Morrissey is a guarantee for good music. Enjoyable album, without any big standouts but a high quality throughout

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 06 2022

Just something I really like about the sound of REM. The guitars, Michael Stipe's voice, always a good time

Atomizer by Big Black
Sep 07 2022

Another punk rock album that gets palced next to the many others: not very remarkable, a bit too loud and aggressive and easily forgettable

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Sep 08 2022

Leave it to the Germans to produce music that sounds like you're stuck on Noah's Ark but in space

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Sep 09 2022

Another Morrissey Album and another good time. Although this time it was less brit-poppy and more rocky/rockabilly, it was again a decent performance. Again, not standout song that drives the album after a overall good album with a perfect runtime

Liquid Swords by GZA
Sep 10 2022

Decent Hip Hop but nothing to write home about

Headquarters by The Monkees
Sep 11 2022

Entertaining album without any real highlights or anything that make it hard to give more than the usual 3 stars

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Sep 12 2022

Definitely soundedway ahead of their time but ultimately the album failed to provide any highlights or standouts

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Sep 13 2022

Nice classic rock album that has an excellent sound quality for a live album but lacks a few bigger hits

Medúlla by Björk
Sep 14 2022

Nice idea to explore things like throat singing but honestly the result of it didn't sound appealing at all so I cant even give this extra points for effort

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 15 2022

Decent alternative rock but thats about it

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Sep 16 2022

Sounds like Bono found out about electricity. Nothing special

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Sep 17 2022

Just another average and forgettable album, this one especially was all over the place, each song seemed like a new adventure into a different subgenre, unfortunately not a very good one though

Real Life by Magazine
Sep 18 2022

Surprisingly decent Post-Punk album with a few nice songs, overall though too little to get more than 3 stars

Sep 19 2022

Sounds like some guys who wanted to emulate Pink Floyd but neither of them could play Guitar nor sing

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Sep 20 2022

Enjoyable Folk-Country album with a great runtime that ultimately though fails to leave a lasting impression with any of its songs

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 21 2022

Enjoyable alt rock album with a sound typical of the early 2000s. Great runtime and overall catchy and entertaining songs

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Sep 22 2022

Morrissey never disappoints. He always delivers music that is versatile yet never lacks his own signature touch. Yet another good album with a perfect runtime

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 24 2022

Good album with very sophisticated rap/lyrics. Would have liked it to maybe be a bit more melodic/better beats but overall still great

Good music by PJ with a few cool songs. By the second half, the album got considerable more quiet and slow though and thus kinda lost the most enjoyable quality

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Sep 26 2022

Like other albums of this genre: Nice and interesting to hear, but nothing more

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Sep 27 2022

Just like the previous album by this artist, not sure whats so special about it that warrants two inclusions

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Sep 28 2022

Despite the big name artist, I can't help but to feel indifferent to this album. While the songs are good, they all kinda sound very similar and make the album feel very long

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 29 2022

Biggest draw of this important album was definitely Biggies flow and rhymin skills. Even without being an expert onRap Lyrics, one could notice that he had the ability to make everything sound like a mean bar. Asides from this though, the album was rather long and for me didn't have enough stand out songs to warrant more than a standard 3 stars

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Sep 30 2022

Decent album with a few nice songs, bit reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen, but overall not outstanding enough to warrant a higher rating

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Oct 01 2022

Decent folk album, one of the first ones to use a Sitar

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 02 2022

Also the second Doors album in this experient leaves me kinda cold. Just personally not my vibe, the songs are too similar and the concept of this relaxed half singing half speaking by Jim doesnt appeal to me

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Oct 03 2022

Decent rap, almost more R&B than Rap, but nothing groundbreaking

Oct 04 2022

Very interesting and surprising album, definitely an aquired taste. The music wasnt bad per se, but the songs went on for too long and the album was almost more fit as background music

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Oct 05 2022

Another good Cohen album in his unmistakable style, rich in atmosphere and a good listen despite missing lots of variety

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Oct 06 2022

Definitely can hear the influence of this album in the typical synth pop in the 80s. Doesn't make this album necessarily more than average for my own taste but can appreciate the inclusion of it.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Oct 07 2022

What a pleasant surprise after the previous Doors albums: great Blues rock album that doesn't have one or two big hits bit compels with a overall high quality of songs

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 08 2022

There's just something very cool and chill about the Dire Straits sound. Absolutely love Mark's relaxed, almost deinterested singing style and how the guitar howls just perfectly every time, not too much, never too little, just perfect!

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Oct 09 2022

On goes the Blues Rock extravaganza! Eric delivers a great album filled with a mix of original songs and covers, but all of them with his own personal touch and twists. Love the guitar work, as always, and also really liked the laid back, chill vibe!

Oct 10 2022

Good country/southern rock album fronted by two big songs. What keeps the album from 5 stars though is the fact that those two songs are by far the best ones of the album and the rest is not bad but also somewhat easy forgettable

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Oct 11 2022

Nice album with some fa ous and we'll known songs but ultimately it's just a genre that fails to grab me in, I remain very indifferent to it

Berlin by Lou Reed
Oct 12 2022

Interesting album, very reminiscent of Tom Waits or Nick Cave. Liked the raspy voice, slow performance of the vocals in combination with the guitar play

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Oct 13 2022

Weird, weirder, The Cure. Never really know what to expect but it's always odd. Half the album is just some ambience. Not a fan, will never be one, but this was the definition of indifferent

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Oct 14 2022

Surprisingly entertaining album with Alex Turner's characteristic voice but more approachable, less Indie sounding songs than Arctic Monkeys

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Oct 15 2022

This was one very excentric and progressive jazz, wasn't a fan of it and it was way too long

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Oct 16 2022

What a fantastic surprise. From a great cover of Hallelujah to the other songs filled with great guitar work, nice drums and great vocals. This album flew under the radar when it was released but now over the years has finally gotten the recognition it deserves

Microshift by Hookworms
Oct 17 2022

Surprisingly good! Typical Indie sound of the late 2000s, few filler songs and generally songs dragging on a bit but overall catchy and easy listening songs

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Oct 18 2022

What a big box of chocolates, this album goes places..... Beatles, Dylan, The Who, Bowie, Supertramp, the list of artists that this sounds like is seemingly endless. Super catchy choruses paired with prog rock and an orchestra, what's not to love?

Oct 19 2022

Typical late 80s, pre Brit Rock with a few decent songs but not enough to warrant more than 3 stars

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Oct 20 2022

A great combination of folk rock and progressive/psychodelica. The songs were all enjoyable and especially the mixing up of the vocals with male and female singer knew to convince

Trio by Dolly Parton
Oct 21 2022

What a great album. Nothing revolutionary in terms of country but it's just so easy listening and enjoyable. Their three voices just combine perfectly

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Oct 22 2022

Long awaited and didn't disappoint. Lovely voice, beautiful songwriting, minimalistic yet never bring music

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Oct 23 2022

Decent, barebones hip hop from the early 90s with no real highlights or anything to make it stand out

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Oct 24 2022

An album that, in the sea of post punk albums, sinks rather quickly and remains forgotten

Cross by Justice
Oct 25 2022

Another electronic album full with loops, random noise and repetitive beats

Oct 26 2022

Decent album, nice runtime but ultimately nothing exciting or groundbreaking or even memorable to warrant more than a 3

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 27 2022

Great guitar work in this one and even besides it, the songs had, for me, the perfect combination out of catchy music and metal-esque heavyness

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 28 2022

Easy listening synth pop that, after 45 minutes, is catchy but just a bit too monotonous to secure 5 stars

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Oct 29 2022

Not my style of Jazz at all, the abrupt and unorthodox changes make it rather unsettling

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Oct 30 2022

Decent, fairly funky hip hop album without any standout heights

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Oct 31 2022

Because Eno strays from his own ambience niche by incorporating some normal songs with vocals in this album, it has to be compared to all the albums out there. And this is where the album fails to convince, it's just very unremarkable and forgettable

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 01 2022

Nice music for the background but this album fails to grab any attention beyond the usual "standard" listening experience

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 02 2022

Bruce is always a good time! Even in the early 2000s he proved that his typical style still works, while also showing some versatility by dabbling into other directions in this album

Bowie's biggest album is also one that can't live up to the hype. While not a bad album it just never captured you completely and made you say "Wow" like others of his albums and other albums that are commonly named in the same sentence, did

Nixon by Lambchop
Nov 04 2022

Interesting mix of genres but overall a rather monotonous album that's quickly forgotten

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 05 2022

What a great album with an A side that is as good as it gets. Rest of the album falls off a little bit but the overall impression remains great

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Nov 06 2022

Unfortunately not much to it, lots of funky beats and electronic music, not much rapping and it all sounded the same

Among The Living by Anthrax
Nov 07 2022

Decent Thrash Metal album, surprisingly melodic but missing standout songs and some guitar solos to be more than a 3

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 08 2022

CCR never fails to deliver, although in comparison to the other albums, this one falls off slightly as the songs are not as catchy and easy listening

Make Yourself by Incubus
Nov 09 2022

Entertaining mix of funk, alternative and rock. Literally enough of everything to make it interesting and diverse but not too much to make it not as accesible

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Nov 11 2022

Decent rap album with some big guests and a few good songs. Overall just a bit too much of a mix of r&b and hip hop rather than picking one side

Live! by Fela Kuti
Nov 12 2022

Standard World Music 3 Star Rating

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Nov 13 2022

Entertaining rock & Roll album with some nice guitars and easy listening pop/rock

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Nov 14 2022

Not bad but just a bit too much progressive and not enough rock to keep me entertained and intrigued

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Nov 15 2022

Catchy, easy listening alt rock with a country/southern twang. Entertaining!

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Nov 16 2022

Decent but ultimately forgettable Punk album

OK Computer by Radiohead
Nov 17 2022

Big hype around this and it defs had some potential with the sound. But it fails to deliver and live up to it. The songs are fast forgotten, nothing really stands out

London Calling by The Clash
Nov 18 2022

Suprisingly mellow and good sounding post punk album. Tad bit long but overall an enjoyable album

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 19 2022

Not bad but compared to their other albums this was pretty boring, everything sounded the same and only one hit/standout song.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Nov 20 2022

Sounded like a 90s band playing 60s songs, so definitely some pioneering work done here, but ultimately the album is just a decent one

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Nov 21 2022

Entertaining album without a real highlight but an overall good and enjoyable quality of songs

Moondance by Van Morrison
Nov 22 2022

Hard to define what made this album stand out, was just a overall easy listening, good mooded album

Nov 23 2022

Again great musicianship by Waits but due to the Genre and the live recording style, it's just 3 stars from me

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Nov 24 2022

Just a very boring album. Every song sounded the same, nothing had any standout potential, and way too long

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 25 2022

I thought this list was supposed to contain music albums, not just noise probably generated when one of the guys fell asleep on the sound machine

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Nov 26 2022

Grear album by Bowie, maybe missing the big grandeur of his later work but maybe because of that, this album feels more down to earth and personal

One World by John Martyn
Nov 27 2022

Enjoyable, easy listening album with a surprising range of instruments. Ultimately just falls short of 4 stars though

90 by 808 State
Nov 28 2022

Unnecessary and boring

Nov 29 2022

The electronic distortion and singing voice is not for everyone and I myself am still not 100% convinced by it, but that doesn't change the fact that it's a great rock album with couple of bangers that rock hard! 🤘🏻

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 30 2022

Neil is always good for a good album. This one though is just good, it doesn't provide enough to warrant a 5 star rating

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Dec 01 2022

Out of all non-popular music styles, Tango probably is the least suited one for pure listening. Not a necessary great experience

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 02 2022

Not a bad album but also without any highlights or justification why it needs to be on this list

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Dec 03 2022

Like the other ones, it's a decent album for education purposes but that's about it

Eagles by Eagles
Dec 04 2022

Great debut album by the Eagles, really liked the sound here which I felt was more raw and actually more blues-rock esque than their later albums. Reminded me a bit more of CCR

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 05 2022

Rather annoying back and forth between punk and new wave but overall not bad enough to warrant 2 stars

Dec 06 2022

While I liked it better than some other Beatles Albums since it's shorter and easier listening since it's not as "artsy", it is lacking a few more memorable songs to be 5 stars

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Dec 07 2022

As always a enjoyable album, good runtime, easy listening, what's not to like

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Dec 08 2022

Surprisingly not too bad for an electronic album because it did have some vocals, guitar, drums, making it sometimes seem like an actual pop/rock album

Cut by The Slits
Dec 09 2022

Definitely a very unorthodox listening experience but oddly enough, the longer it went on, the more okay I got with it

Tapestry by Carole King
Dec 11 2022

Enjoyable folk-pop with a good voice. Would give this 3,5 stars but ultimately falls just short of 4 for me

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Dec 12 2022

What an intriguing album. Weirder songs like the Bürgermeister one and the barber shop one, combined with songs that are very grandeur and pompous. The "weirder" songs kinda disrupt the flow of the album, but the other songs are good enough to give this 5 stars. Likely an album that grows on you with each listen

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Dec 13 2022

Great album, few big hits but even besides those, every other song "belongs" and is a great rock song

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 14 2022

Decent Rap album, personally not the biggest fan of the "couple of guys yelling one after each other"-style to rap

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Dec 16 2022

Not sure what it was exactly but something about this album that just sounded so relaxing and cool

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 17 2022

Not bad but unfortunately another missed opportunity as I just think the harder rock style of La Grange fits them much better than the softer rock style of the rest of the album

S&M by Metallica
Dec 18 2022

Always tough and almost unfair to rate a Live album against studio albums due to their "best of "-nature. This specific one pits Metallica with a whole orchestra, something that definitely works well in general but nonetheless becomes a bit of a gimmick and just sort of "it's there but doesn't improve anything"

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Dec 19 2022

Surprisingly enjoyable alternative rock album with lots of influences. Little bit classic rock here, little bit pop here, little bit punk or metal here. Bonus points for the catchy harmonies

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Dec 20 2022

For Iggy Pop a surprisingly calm and normal album. Decent background music but the lack of real hits make it fall short of 4 stars

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Dec 21 2022

Surprisingly modern album by Cohen which still works good with his singing style. The faster music is a good counter balance to his slow, almost spoken like singing style

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Dec 22 2022

Enjoyable, easy-listening alt rock album. The songs have a happy vibe to them, similar to the pop-punk of the early 2000s, which made the difference for me between 3 and 4 stars

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Dec 23 2022

Decent Reggae-Album which doesn't do anything really new and doesn't change my view of the genre either

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Dec 24 2022

Even with an earlier album that has less of a legacy than the later ones, the Beatles know to entertain. Short, fast songs with easy melodies. Nothing wrong with that even though they of course lack the depth of their later works

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Dec 25 2022

Enjoyable album without any standout songs but an overall nice atmosphere, created by Joni's voice and the Jazz instruments

Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 26 2022

Another electronic album, yihaaaaa......... Not.... Just more of the same old, you listen to one song and you've heard it all. Nothing exciting, nothing that stands out or is worth remembering

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Dec 27 2022

While it's still not my genre, this wasn't too bad. The beats and melodies are simple yet entertaining. Overall just too long and repetitive but taking into account the release year, I guess I'll be lenient and give this 3 stars

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Dec 28 2022

Interesting mix of many different styles/genres, not what I expected. But certainly not bad either. In the end though, the lack of a couple powerhouse songs and the missing red line makes this only a 4 star album

Wild Gift by X
Dec 29 2022

Another Punk album, although this one atleast stands out due to the fact it has a female singer. That makes the album better however the lack of standout songs means that this stays at 3 stars

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 30 2022

What a ride this one was. Probably the weirdest album so far but if you ignore the tracks that are just speech or noise, you are actually left with some good psychedelic rock songs with funny/satirical and most importantly entertaining lyrics. This is definitely an album that you either love or completely hate but I'm willing to give this some credit

Dec 31 2022

As always, Celtic influenced rock/punk is just a banger. This one is no different, very entertaining album that only suffers from being a bit too long and generally the songs sounding very similar

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Jan 01 2023

Unfortunately another New Wave album that isnt bad but fails to leave a lasting impression or stand out from the masses

The Stooges by The Stooges
Jan 02 2023

A very Rolling Stones-esque album by The Stooges which has a good runtime however fails to leave any lasting impression with any of their songs to justify more than 3 stars.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jan 03 2023

Enjoyable music for the background, standard "non-pop-music'" three star rating from me

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jan 04 2023

While one has to acknowledge the, for the time, innovative sound and message behind the lyrics, ultimately it's just too barebones and non melodic for me

Stankonia by OutKast
Jan 05 2023

Great flowing lyrics, high tempo and dark beats make up for the little bit too long runtime

Jan 06 2023

The Beatles from a parallel universe as I like to call them. Enjoyable album with their signature folk-pop with an edge sound

Be by Common
Jan 07 2023

Good, sophisticated and high quality rap album. The lack of any stand out songs though made it tough for me to rate it more than 3 stars

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jan 08 2023

Decent albeit unspectacular album that is quickly forgotten

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 09 2023

Good hard rock album that ultimately though falls short of a 5 star rating and to living up to it's hype due to there being too little stand-out songs that drive the album and the lack of personal connection the songs, especially the guitar solos, were able to generate

Being There by Wilco
Jan 10 2023

Enjoyable album with a few standout songs. Overall though, over the course of almost 1 1/2 hours, those songs prove not enough to propell the album to more than 3 stars

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jan 11 2023

Not a bad album but overall just very average and uneventful, not much to say about this

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 12 2023

Interesting Jazz album that I found quite different from the other ones, this ones sound and composition remembering me a lot more of classic music actually

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 13 2023

A very uneventful and unnecessary album that was also plagued by awful (or intentially awful) mixing

Play by Moby
Jan 14 2023

Probably one of the best Electronic Albums so far on this list because the songs don't just consist of 20 seconds looped over and over again

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Jan 15 2023

Nice sounding Americana that is soothing but also a little bit too monotnous

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 16 2023

While the concept album conveyed the angst and dreary feeling of the story very well, the music itself was just not for me. Heavily distorted, at times hard to even understand the lyrics and songs that were long and often without highlights

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 17 2023

Ultimately just a very boring album with no real highlights

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jan 18 2023

Decent world music, standard 3 stars

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jan 20 2023

Unspectacular and quick forgotten Alt Rock album

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 21 2023

Enjoyable Soul & R&B album that had a little blues edge

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 22 2023

Decent album without highlights that is mainly remembered for some lyrical content that didn't age well

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jan 23 2023

Overall just a fairly boring album, every track sounded more or less the same and it wasn't very exciting

Jan 24 2023

Nirvana did a fantastic job here making an album that sounds as if they are old pros in the folk rock genre.

Jan 25 2023

Modern punk album without any real highlights that more or less only has its short runtime going for itself

Jan 26 2023

That was more or less a waste of space and time. Some weird electronic rap, not sure what this even was

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Jan 27 2023

Enjoyable electro pop without any stand out songs but still a decent listen

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 28 2023

Not bad but just very very uneventful, boring and way too long

Kenya by Machito
Jan 29 2023

Standard 3 Star world music rating

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 30 2023

Sounds like Steely Dan, could be Steely Dan, is 50% of Steely Dan. Even without his partner, Fagen created a great album that could easily have been a Steely Dan album, both in the way it sounds and how good it is. Only criticism would be the songs dragging on a little bit

Jan 31 2023

What a great throwback to my youth. Greatest thing is, this album still holds up. 50 is at his best here with great flow, cool beats, good lyrics and best of all, all the songs have a somewhat catchy feeling to themselves since they have a proper chorus

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 01 2023

Interesting dreary, dream-like sound but ultimately the album falls short because of its rather long runtime and absence of real highlights

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 02 2023

Enjoyable Soul but just the standard 3 stars from me

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Feb 03 2023

Decent electro pop but not quite as memorable as one would expect from an entry on this list

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Feb 04 2023

Not his best work but even then, Neil is at a high level of music, never a bad album

Repeater by Fugazi
Feb 05 2023

Rather uninspiring,boring and also bit too messy and aggressive music for my liking

Feb 06 2023

Although there are some unnecessary electronic-instrumentals, the album has a gem in Brimful of Asha and some few unique songsbecause of their alt rock with Indian influences-sound that make up for the aforementioned electronic BS

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 07 2023

Dylan's albums are like pizza: Even bad pizza is good

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Feb 08 2023

One of these albums that just run along without any highlights until you stumble upon the one famous song that you didn't even know was theirs

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Feb 09 2023

Not a huge fan of the genre in general and the lack of choruses and constant distortion that is laid over everything, paired with its long runtime, made this one less enjoyable for me

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 10 2023

Decent but uneventful pop/rock with a female voice. Not sure why this needed to be included over e.g. The Cranberries

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 11 2023

Nick has the perfect voice and singing style to deliver murder ballads but even then, more than 50 minutes of them get a bit old quick

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Feb 12 2023

Surprisingly enjoyable and catchy album. Dreamy sound with uptempo synth- music that wasn't annoying or anything though

Feb 13 2023

The typical Queen sound we all know creates a versatile and enjoyable album that convinces with its pompous production, feeling of hearing something big and technical aspects, rather than having hit followed by hit

The La's by The La's
Feb 14 2023

Quite enjoyed this. No standout songs but has that overall Britpop sound I like

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 15 2023

Not a lot of songs of this available on the internet so it's tough to rate it fairly

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Feb 16 2023

Not quite sure what this was supposed to be......

En-Tact by The Shamen
Feb 17 2023

Interesting concept of mixing prog rock and electronic music but the album becomes rather forgettable after the initial uniqueness wears off

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Feb 18 2023

Good album however the last real wow factor is missing for me here, especially when it comes from a big name like Led Zeppelin

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 19 2023

Enjoyable standard 3 star world music album

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Feb 20 2023

Enjoyable although at times a bit too screamy punk rock

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Feb 21 2023

To use one of their song titles as inspiration: electronic shit

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Feb 22 2023

Wasnt a fan of this one. Too long and too much noise/growling, lacking song structure and anything resembling a melody

Feb 23 2023

Not bad but just too long and way too similar sounding songs to be anything better than 3 stars

Feb 24 2023

Genesis were able to combine prog rock and it's weirdness with the catchyness of pop: the songs are surprisingly beginner-friendly and remind more of the latter Genesis than the earlier albums. Despite that, the long runtime and the lack of a wow effect such as it's predecessor had, prevent this from receiving full 5 stars

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 27 2023

Even the third or fourth of his albums is not going to change my absolute neutral stance on this guy and his music. It doesn't do anything for me at all and I continue to be amazed how this music was able to become known and loved worldwide 🤷🏼‍♂️

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Feb 28 2023

Decent album however really nothing that stands out in any particular way

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Mar 01 2023

Just an unnecessary addition on the back of their other album. This one doesn't make more such a smooth listening experience since it's marred by noise and some yells

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 02 2023

Good, surprisingly modern and Slringsteen-esque sounding album by Bowie

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Mar 03 2023

Surprisingly entertaining psychodelic album that has elements of both directions such as Beatles but also Hard Rock/Metal. Biggest shine was the 15 minute closing epic

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 04 2023

I continue to fail to understand Radiohead, even after the 4th or so album. This one, just like the previous one, was just too monotonous and boring, basically consisting of almost an hour of the same electronic ambiance sounds and a singer whose count of long "woooooooaaaaaaahs" must easily be in the triple digits

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Mar 05 2023

A decent but unspectacular album that is only going to be remembered for its first track that is so obviously inspired by Father & Son and the worst denial ever made about said inspiration being purely coincidental

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Mar 06 2023

Enjoyable blues/rock and roll album with catchy songs and a great runtime

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Mar 07 2023

Decent rock album that has a few nice songs but otherwise bang average

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Mar 08 2023

Good background/ambiance music for when you want to test if the mute button works

Suede by Suede
Mar 09 2023

One of the Britpop staples, this album convinces with its typical easy going and somewhat catchy sound, although it lacks the bit, memorable songs

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 10 2023

Nick Cave never disappoints in his own way! A master at creating an intense and at the same time cool atmosphere. This time delivering with a stripped down although bit too long album

Transformer by Lou Reed
Mar 11 2023

A album that carries a certain name and hype to it. Overall it wasn't necessarily that it couldn't fulfill it but it was just personally not really my cup of tea

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Mar 12 2023

Decent rock pop although I have to say the constant "lewd" topics made this feel a bit forced

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 13 2023

Interesting to see the different directions Jazz was taken to but ultimately just a standard 3

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 14 2023

Major sentimental throwback to my youth here and very happy that even 20 years later I still rate the album as high as back then

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Mar 15 2023

Decent almost-instrumental album but quickly forgotten again

Mar 16 2023

Decent but like Many of the other "Rap-Group" albums just too wild and all over the place

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Mar 17 2023

Entertaining grime album that convinces with its fast beats and rapping style

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 18 2023

Interesting and enjoyable chamber pop. Bit too long but gotta give props for the creativity and artistry

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 20 2023

Tom Waits is always an adventure, this time was no exception although it was just a decent adventure

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Mar 21 2023

Definitely their best album so far and surely a big influence on much of the rock that came afterwards, however personally Led Zeppelin continue to not hit the sweetspot for me and what I like most in rock

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 22 2023

The seemingly 100th electronic subgenre album which also doesn't convince me to ever see this genre as anything one should listen to as leisure. Due to its ridiculous runtime, probably the album which I skipped ahead the most so far

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Mar 23 2023

Enjoyable and barebones early country folk album without any real highlights

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Mar 24 2023

Quite an enjoyable album, I like the middle ages influence and their voices combine and harmonize very well

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 25 2023

Very enjoyable album, perfect for both the background and active listening. Great salsa rhythms paired with one of the most recognizable guitar sounds

Mar 27 2023

Not as bad as expected based on the genre but ultimately of course nothing really worthwile

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Mar 28 2023

Great versatility shown here. Some harder songs, some slower ones and even a few instrumentals. Always with, for me, the perfect combination of hard riffs and singing. Lacking a few more standout songs though for a 5 Star rating

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Mar 30 2023

Truly a Jekyll and Hyde album. The first two/three songs and one of the last ones have a cool sound and are enjoyable, the ones in between sound like a trainwreck

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Mar 31 2023

Entertaining but without leaving a lasting impression

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Apr 01 2023

Overall not bad music but can't help to feel a bit disappointed coming from such a acclaimed artist as the album itself was short and enjoyable but lacked anything new or standout

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Apr 02 2023

Like most world music, interesting to hear but not gonna finds its way into my rotation

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Apr 03 2023

Enjoyable folk album that certainly was a bit of a pioneering work and hasn't lost its relevancy since then

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 04 2023

One of these albums where the question is not how many stars it gets but more whether or not it's a normal 5 oder a masterpiece 5. In the end of the day, it's a normal 5 because, judging from a purely musical perspective, the album has quite a few filler songs that only have the purpose of conveying the story and are thus not as enjoyable from a listening perspective aside. All that though is criticism on a very high level

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Apr 05 2023

Decent, worth the time but quickly forgotten

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 08 2023

Decent 90s rock that stands out mostly because of the female singer, not so much due to their songs

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 09 2023

Enjoyable and soothing, bit reminiscent of Nick Cave at times.

Apr 10 2023

Rather painful to get through, the rapping skills were essentially non-present

Guero by Beck
Apr 11 2023

A for effort and creativity but in all this, I personally just wasn't picked up by the album. I can appreciate the genius behind it but personally it doesn't do more than just entertain me decently

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Apr 12 2023

Decent Singer/Songwriter Pop/Rock Fuse that is enjoyable but fast forgotten

Tago Mago by Can
Apr 13 2023

Very experimental at the end, the few songs with proper singing were decent

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 14 2023

Standard World music 3 Rating

21 by Adele
Apr 15 2023

Aided by 3-4 megahits, this album is also a surprisingly diverse album stylistically and knows to convince with a high quality of production, singing voice and songs

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Apr 16 2023

Personally i found this one rather dull and boring. Every song was seemingly a copy of the other ones

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Apr 17 2023

Not taking anything away from their legacy and influence but just not necessarily a genre for me and having 20 minutes tracks don't make it more approachable either

Traffic by Traffic
Apr 18 2023

Surprisingly jolly sounding album that doesn't blow you away but instantly put me in a good mood

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Apr 19 2023

His departure from purely Rock & Roll and addition of country elements added another layer to his music and made it immediately more interesting and timeless. Fronted by 2 of his staple songs, this album deserves a 4

Apr 20 2023

Pre-Ambience sound, Brian created a artistically really interesting album that ultimately when listening to it is interesting but fails to leave a lasting impression

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Apr 21 2023

What an absolute atrocity for which I, as a fellow German, can only apologize for

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Apr 22 2023

Great combination of alternative rock and Latin/mexican music, unique sounding

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 23 2023

Fairly average alternative rock album that does nothing to stand out or warrant any place on this list

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Apr 24 2023

What a great surprise. Loved Tori's soft voice paired with the great instrumentation that ranges from acapella to atmospheric piano

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Apr 26 2023

less funk and more rock than their previous one which made the difference in enjoyment

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Apr 27 2023

Rather disappointing and unmelodic album

War by U2
Apr 28 2023

Entertaining album that is more unique and less polished than their later pop-rock albums

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Apr 29 2023

Fun album! Like a mix of Iron Maiden and Bon Jovi! Entertaining and catchy songs, however overall not as great as Hysteria

Dylan deserves all the praise he gets but this inclusion is an odd one, basically a greatest hits until 1966, it provides little to nothing new compared to having the actual studio albums on this list. With its long runtime it's more fitting for a Dylan fan

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
May 03 2023

If Wikipedia calls this their most accessible album, then I truly don't want to know how their other stuff sounds

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
May 04 2023

On their fourth album on this list, Talking Heads offer little new but give us more of the same which is entertaining and decent rock pop with electronic influences

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
May 06 2023

Just when I thought this experiment has shown me the lowest lows, this crap comes around the corner and proves me wrong

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
May 07 2023

Very enjoyable and catchy album, almost a bit like Crosby, Stills & Nash with a bit of psychodelic edge

May 09 2023

Enjoyable and somewhat catchy sounding electro pop album that ultimately though is too similar and monotonous to score more than 3 stars

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 10 2023

Enjoyable world music standard 3

May 11 2023

Enjoyable album in which the live atmosphere was tangible, surely was a great experience seeing this live

Blunderbuss by Jack White
May 12 2023

Decent rock album that lacked one or two stand out songs

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
May 13 2023

While I recognize the artistry of Gaye and his legacy, the genre and the length made this a bit of a dull affair

25 by Adele
May 14 2023

Although not as diverse and versatile as her "21" album, it's again very impressive what Adele delivers on this album. Seemingly every second song has been a radio hit and while one has to admit that she obviously has sort of a formula, I can't argue or knock it down because the formula is gold and works very well

Mask by Bauhaus
May 15 2023

Goth rock remains a genre that isn't necessarily bad but all the added "fuzz" just doesn't reach me and seems obsolete to me

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
May 16 2023

Enjoyable country with Emmylou Harris as the secret star but ultimately not enough to give more than 3 stars

Music by Madonna
May 17 2023

Madonna trying to be modern but what's lost here are any good songs. Best song is a cover of a song that's 30 years old

GREY Area by Little Simz
May 18 2023

Surprisingly decent album with good lyrics and rhyming, lacking a standout song though

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
May 20 2023

Very interesting album with a range of different genres, although ultimately just shy of 4 stars for me personally

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
May 21 2023

Decent southern rock album that personally could have done without some of the more raw signing

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
May 22 2023

Refreshingly good combination of Energy-filled rock riffs and still great singing

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
May 23 2023

Again great music by Paul Simon but here it was just missing that additional touch of memorable or stand out songs and thus fails to score 5 stars

New Forms by Roni Size
May 24 2023

Uninspiring, boring, redundant

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
May 26 2023

Decent and quite catchy album, lacking any standout songs though for a full 4 stars

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
May 27 2023

Started out as a decent new wave album but as the album went on and the electronic dance music was unnecessarily added, my impression of it decreased

May 28 2023

Enjoyable album that just falls a bit short because it is between styles. Bit opera rock and a bit progressive makes for a good album, however not as good as the the album before or after that are commited to one style only

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
May 29 2023

Bruce never disappoints, another all full of catchy, good spirited and energetic songs. What's not to love?

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
May 30 2023

World music standard rating

#1 Record by Big Star
May 31 2023

Wow, what a surprise this was. Didn't expect anything going in and was blown away by a great album. Every song is a jam and belongs on there, great runtime and an feel-good sound that is very reminiscent of CSNY, Eagles, Byrds and other greats

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jun 02 2023

Rather boring album that just had way too many electric sounds mixed in

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 03 2023

Bruce never disappoints, always a good mood, although this album, especially compared to his other, later albums, just couldn't keep all the way up. Still a very good album but one could tell that he just wasn't all the way there yet in terms of writing the big big hits and stadium anthems

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 04 2023

Something about the singers voice/singing style that just deeply annoyed me and made my toenails roll up. Super annoying, drunk yelling singing style that I just was not in the mood for, awful

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Jun 05 2023

Interesting and refreshing music but ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jun 06 2023

Wonderfully weird yet never too over the top and still enjoyable

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jun 07 2023

Just too little overall, 2-3 proper songs, rest is filled with half(-assed) or instrumental tracks. If we left out the name McCartney, I don't know how this would have even been released

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 08 2023

Tough to rate as it's a live album that also includes a lot of improvisation that otherwise would not be on the studio album. Although there are no real stand out songs, this is an overall great album and must have been quite an experience live.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Jun 09 2023

Bit more melodic and less raw than their second album but overall still nothign to write home about

Jun 10 2023

Surprisingly catchy psychodelic album that already gave a good idea of the talent this band had and the big things it would go on to create

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jun 13 2023

Certainly enjoyable music and a good performance however the combination of live album and 90 minutes runtime just make it hard for me to see this being suitable to be included in this list and compare it to studio albums

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 14 2023

Great artist and well deserved entry on this list, only personal musical taste is probably stopping me from giving this the 5 stars it deserves

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jun 15 2023

Good runtime and enjoyable music but lacking one or two standout songs to really have an impact

Jun 16 2023

Despite the big name I can only give three stars here. A decent album without any real highlights or anything

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 17 2023

Quite a repetitive album, most of it sounding fairly much the same

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jun 18 2023

Personally, the mix of rap and funky rock just didn't prove anything, it feels like it would have worked with classic hip hop beats just as well. Only the last song was really anything that stood out from the rest

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jun 19 2023

Sonic Youth remain to be a bit too experimental for me, I don't care for it, it doesn't add anything to their appeal

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jun 20 2023

Just too much screaming/growling to enjoy this even a bit

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jun 22 2023

Surprisingly good, loved the atmosphere and the sound of it

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jun 23 2023

Enjoyable and good runtime, reminded me a lot of the Rolling stones mixed with the Beatles

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 24 2023

What an odd one, very minimalistic, almost exclusively just spoken words about a sexual relationship with a 14 year old. Leave it to the French to create this and have it become a big hit

Jun 25 2023

Very reminiscent of Kanye, like a mini version, going in the same direction, just not quite as good. But on its own it's still a good enjoyable album but just a bit too long and lacking maybe one or two standout songs for 4 stars

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 26 2023

Solid pop but nothing memorable

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jun 27 2023

Very uneventful and run of the mill alt rock album

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jun 28 2023

Odd and unfortunately unfinished concept of punk and country mixed.

Fun House by The Stooges
Jun 29 2023

Not a bad album, just not that different at all from all the other Stooges and Iggy Pop albums for it to be needing to be on this list 🤷🏼‍♂️

The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Jun 30 2023

Given the recording circumstances, kudos for how good this sounds! Musically though i can't give more than 3 stars as pretty much the whole album sounds the same and just drags on a bit

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 01 2023

Totally unnecessary given that this is the 5th, yes you read that right, the 5th Sonic Youth album, yet doesn't provide anything that the other 4 albums wouldn't have already

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Jul 02 2023

Entertaining album, very reminiscent of Britpop. In the end though just missing that one or two standout songs to bump it up to 4 stars

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 03 2023

Unusually heavy by Neil, runs on a bit and lacks anz real standout songs but still overall a very high class and enjoyable Album

1977 by Ash
Jul 04 2023

Decent, actually quite catchy album, just shy of 4 stars though

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jul 05 2023

Again a very enjoyable blues rock album by the Stones, not as good as Sticky Fingers though

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jul 06 2023

What can I possibly say, bookended by an absolute masterpiece in Shine on, two great songs in Wish you were here and welcome to the machine....... Maybe my favourite Floyd album

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jul 07 2023

Nothing to write home about

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 08 2023

This was a real positive surprise, great runtime, couple of standout songs that I saved and overall just a very happy, go lucky mood in the songs

So by Peter Gabriel
Jul 09 2023

Great album again by Peter, although definitely a bit more commercial and as a whole, not as conducive as his other albums. The songs are all quite different from each other and sometimes it feels hard to hold up a concept. But looking at the songs individually, its a album full of good to great songs

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jul 10 2023

Enjoyable, surprisingly not raw but catchy punk album

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jul 11 2023

A soundtrack to a made up movie, this hardly even consisted of music but was mainly just noise

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 12 2023

Very influential and important album, but for me listening to this 50 years later and not being a soul fan, i cant give more than 3 stars

Jul 13 2023

Prog rock album that suffered a bit from its long runtime and lack of lyrics in many songs. The songs that had lyrics were actually quite good so a bit potential wasted here

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jul 14 2023

Trip hop combines a "can be okay or can be shit"-genre with a "most likely shit"-genre so that's just not a good combination to try to score points with me 🤷🏼‍♂️

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jul 15 2023

Decent prog rock album but nothing that stands out in any particular way

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jul 16 2023

Surprisingly not that bad because lots of it is decent ambiance music for the background

Jul 17 2023

Yet another Wu- Tang..... 😑 This one though was probably one of the best ones, if not the best one, to my ears because it's a later one that got rid of the usual funky beats and just sounds more dark and serious

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jul 18 2023

Quite enjoyable album with catchy songs

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jul 19 2023

Not sure why this is on the list as it is pretty much the most standard and average indie rock album that you could create

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jul 20 2023

Starts decent but once the "shock"/"exotic" factor wore off halfway through the album, you're just not left with good music

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jul 21 2023

Amongst all the electronica albums we've had, this was actually one of the lesser evils

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jul 22 2023

Not a bad album but just not what I would want to hear when I pick up a Willie Nelson album

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jul 24 2023

Got weirder as it progressed but still not so weird or bad to rate it down

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jul 25 2023

Surprisingly great album, almost more classic rock or metal rather than glam rock

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jul 26 2023

Decent rock album, wide range of different styles but a bit too long and lacking any standout songs

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jul 29 2023

Started out great with 3 great songs in a great live version, afterwards it fizzeled out a bit because both the songs and the performance wasn't as standoutiscj anymore

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jul 30 2023

Perfect as background music but for today's age just a bit too little to keep the sole attention

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 31 2023

Yet another post punk album, although probably one of the better ones, narrowly missing the upgrade to 4 stars

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Aug 01 2023

Good Album with some big hits but overall, at the runtime of more than an hour, the rest of the songs were just a bit too similar sounding to get 4 stars

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Aug 02 2023

Exactly what I needed today and what I want when putting on Neil Young or any of his pals: go lucky, catchy music one can always listen to

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Aug 03 2023

Another white Stripes album, another 3 stars. Solid rock music but not more

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Aug 04 2023

Enjoyable and up tempo music with quite some creativity

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Aug 06 2023

Decent but unremarkable Indie rock album that went places on some of those songs

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Aug 07 2023

The same old discussion with live albums again and I'm sure this must have been a very cool experience to see live but for somebody who isn't a Grateful Dead fan, this provides little to nothing tbh. The songs are sometimes quadrupled in length versus the studio recording and often just filled with jamming

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Aug 08 2023

Enjoyable but like other music from that time, its hard to truly enjoy it with today's ears

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 09 2023

Is this still music?

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 10 2023

What a thrill again by Rush! Their second album on this list manifests my opinion that they are just the perfect combination of classic stadium rock but with a progressive edge that never is too weird!

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Aug 11 2023

Hard to even pinpoint what genre this is supposed to be mainly, not bad but way too long and too uneventful

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Aug 12 2023

Was not quite as weird as his previous album, the more frequent singing parts made the differen e here. Still though nothing to write home about

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Aug 13 2023

Living up to their name, this album provided little, combining a genre I can somewhat tolerate (Krautrock) with a genre I tend to find completely unnecessary (90s electronic), this just doesn't bode well and doesn't offer anything appealing

Suicide by Suicide
Aug 14 2023

Nothing excitable or special

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Aug 15 2023

Decent album and a nice throw back with that one hit of hers but other than that, not sure why this is on here

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Aug 16 2023

This was quite a surprise. Entertaining album/music, catchy, good vibes....

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Aug 17 2023

Nothing special, not sure why it's on there

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Aug 18 2023

Now finally a Kings of Leon album that deserves to be on there because it's actually good music!

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Aug 19 2023

Classic beach Boys sound but this being their fourth album on this list, it fails to provide anything new or exciting

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Aug 21 2023

Decent album but ultimate uneventful

Snivilisation by Orbital
Aug 22 2023

Unnecessary since electronic but at least somewhat tolerable

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Aug 24 2023

Although I found many songs on the album just too similar sounding and the album itself was way too long, the 3-4 hits/classics are enough to objectively push it to 4

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Aug 26 2023

Enjoyable 80s pop however in the end, just not providing enough stand-out material to warrant more than 3 stars

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Aug 27 2023

Interesting mix of different genres but besides the novelty and surprise element of this, not much stands out

This album could probably be used as reference material for the genre of "Classic Rock", it's exactly what one stereotypically thinks and expects of the genre

Woodface by Crowded House
Aug 29 2023

Average, not outstanding in any direction

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Aug 30 2023

What a peculiar album, not sure what to think about it but definitely interesting entertainment

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
Aug 31 2023

Great music, however would have liked just bit more blues rock or blues guitar by Stills

Vulnicura by Björk
Sep 02 2023

Tolerable but I still don't care about it

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Sep 03 2023

At times a bit boring and uneventful

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Sep 04 2023

Had a few good songs but then also again others that are just a bit too unorthodox

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Sep 05 2023

Starts good with a few hits but by the end of the album, you feel like you've heard the same formula over and over again

Sep 07 2023

Interesting sound but ultimately not memorable enough for more than 3 stars

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Sep 09 2023

Actually quite entertaining because of its rock influences

Sulk by The Associates
Sep 11 2023

Synth pop to the extreme, not bad but also without anything really standing out

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Sep 12 2023

A nice and most welcome surprise to find some blues rock amongst all these faceless albums lately. No super great but enjoyable nonetheless

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Sep 13 2023

Very interesting album, mellow folk with some classical music influence. Not bad but ultimately a tad bit too long and repetitive

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Sep 14 2023

Odd but not bad enough give it 2 stars

Leftism by Leftfield
Sep 15 2023

2bstars mainly because of the runtime and the repetitiveness

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Sep 17 2023

On paper the combination sounds odd but in the end it's decent music

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Sep 18 2023

Decent, nothing to write home

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Sep 19 2023

Decent to good rock, bit too long but in the end missing maybe one or two standout songs

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Sep 20 2023

Nah, just nothing that's being offered here

Arular by M.I.A.
Sep 21 2023

More hip hoppy than her last album.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Sep 22 2023

Quite a surprisingly good and artistic album, lacking a standout song but overall high quality

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Sep 23 2023

Decent and short-lived R&B

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 26 2023

At first I was like "again? A third album?" While I don't know if they all deserved to be on this list, I can see why they were picked because the artist showed great versatility and craftiness with them

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Sep 27 2023

Decent Reggae but nothing more

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Sep 28 2023

Decent pop/rock albeit a bit too long

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Sep 29 2023

This was quite a surprise, a very mellow and relaxing singing voice and songs, tad bit long

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Oct 02 2023

Decent 80s sounding but nothing special

Django Django by Django Django
Oct 03 2023

Bit weird and nothing great but decent and listenable

Third by Soft Machine
Oct 04 2023

In the end just a bit too unorthodox to be enjoyable

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Oct 05 2023

Surprisingly enjoyable world music album because it is so versatile

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Oct 07 2023

With a second album, the novelty of it is gone and rather annoying

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Oct 08 2023

Enjoyable at times, bit too weird at other times

Slayed? by Slade
Oct 09 2023

Decent but ultimately fast forgotten glam rock

The Libertines by The Libertines
Oct 10 2023

Decent but not memorable or anything

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Oct 11 2023

enjoyable, mellow album

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 13 2023

Enjoyable bit ultimately a bit too long and the songs were too similar

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Oct 15 2023

Enjoyable jazz fusion

D by White Denim
Oct 17 2023

Decent rock but without any memorable highlights

The Clash by The Clash
Oct 18 2023

Just too raw and unmelodic

The Coral by The Coral
Oct 19 2023

Nothing special

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Oct 21 2023

Decent world.music album

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Oct 22 2023

Decent album, saved by the singing parts because the rap parts sounded amateurish and corny

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Oct 23 2023

Decent album but again there just seems something missing, shame that they tried so hard to have her capitalize on the RnB craze back then

Kenza by Khaled
Oct 28 2023

Decent world music

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Oct 30 2023

Surprisingly good album, relaxed and atmospheric mood

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Nov 03 2023

Great album that stands the test of time and contains two of the arguably biggest rock songs of the early 2000s

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Nov 04 2023

Enjoyable album, a mix of unorthodox and some pop elements

Young Americans by David Bowie
Nov 05 2023

Enjoyable but lacking the grandeur of other Bowie albums

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 06 2023

Decent, nothing to write home about though

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Nov 07 2023

Decent pop with electronic nuances

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 08 2023
Green by R.E.M.
Nov 10 2023

The guys from Georgia never fail to entertain

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Nov 12 2023
