Popular Reviews

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

Very surprising and great album. Loved "Crucify", "Winter".

Is This It by The Strokes

Love it! Classic with many hits, including the title track, "last nite", "selfless". Love the slightly distorted voice

Dry by PJ Harvey

Nice 90s grunge-y vibe! Will need to listen a bit more!

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes

Pre-90s Bjoerk. Not too bad, probably better after a few listens.

1-Star Albums (5)

All Ratings (187)

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jan 13 2021

First Beatles album, I listened to back to back. I enjoyed "Drive my car", "Girl" and "I'm looking through you". Overall better than anticipated.

Doolittle by Pixies
Jan 14 2021

Never really listened to a full Pixies album before. Some classics "Gouge Away" and "Here comes my man". Overall enjoyed, but probably takes a few more repeat cycles to fully click.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jan 15 2021

Lots of classics, "so fresh so clean", "gasoline dreams", "ms jackson". Nice to listen to the full album, will definitely keep this one in the rotation.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 18 2021

Very groovy. Nice pick, that I would have not listened to other wise.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jan 19 2021

Very chill and relaxed

Blur by Blur
Jan 22 2021

Never listened to much Blur beyond Song 2. Not super overwhelmed with this album, but you can hear a lot of influences on other brit rock bands. Needs more listens.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jan 26 2021

Quite bland. Nothing that really stood out to me.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 27 2021

Banger. Tiny Dancer and Indian Sunset are awesome! Really nice album.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jan 28 2021

Pre-90s Bjoerk. Not too bad, probably better after a few listens.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jan 29 2021

Like it. No stand out songs, but overall good-mood music. Probably liked Sunday Shining best.

Document by R.E.M.
Feb 02 2021

Nice late 80s album! Love "The One I Love" and "The End of The World".

Forever Changes by Love
Feb 03 2021

A bit too much hippie for me, but not bad music per se.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 04 2021

I like Elliot Smith and that's a nice album. Not too many stand out songs, and probably not my favorite album of his, but still very nice

Country Life by Roxy Music
Feb 05 2021

A bit too pompous and not many standout songs.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 08 2021

Nice one! Never listened to a full album by the Boss

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Feb 09 2021

Little bit too much country for me, but a few nice songs.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 10 2021

Has quite a bit of Joy Division, but not my favorite Sonic Youth record.

Low-Life by New Order
Feb 12 2021

Liked it, but maybe needs another 2-3 listens. Subculture and This Time of Night were best.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 15 2021

Didn't like the Jazz part as much, but the reggae influence was interesting

Future Days by Can
Feb 17 2021

A bit too bland for me!

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Feb 18 2021

A very wild mix of music, from old school rap, to jazz, to pop stuff. Some nice tunes, in particular "The Whole Point of No Return".

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Feb 19 2021

Nice to listen to the full album. "She's always a woman to me" very classic!

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 23 2021

Classic punk rock with three chords. "Now I want to sniff some glue" and "blitzkrieg bob" will never get old.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Feb 24 2021

Not my favorite Bowie album, but crazy to imagine that this was released just before his death..

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 25 2021

Nice one! Very much like "Strange Ones" and "Mansize Rooster". Will have to listen to this more, but seems very influential on the entire 90s brit rock scene.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 26 2021

Pretty bland and not my favorite Beck album.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 02 2021

Too much Jazz. But still good on a music level.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Mar 03 2021

Despite this being a country album, quite enjoyed some of the songs, especially the last song, Jackson.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Mar 04 2021

Love Tom Waits, didn't know this album before. Not my favorite Album of his, still good.

Mar 05 2021

Nice one! Was not aware of the band behind the classic Tony Hawk soundtrack song. Overall reminds me a bit of Dead Kennedys

Mar 09 2021

Another Elton John album. Enjoyed "I've seen that movie too" and "Candle in the wind", but overall not as good as the previous one.

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 10 2021

First Santana record I listened too. Knew "Black Magic Women" and "Oye Como Va". "Samba Pa Ti" has a killer guitar sound and feel but beyond this this album did not move me too much.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 11 2021

Enjoyed this, especially "Sisters of the moon" and "beautiful child". Not as many hits as Rumours though

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 12 2021

Lot's of big hits on this one. Will need to listen deeper. "Sexy Boy" and "All I need" are staples of the 90s.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 16 2021

"If you see her say hello" has been a long time favorite. Overall nice album.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 17 2021

Nice album. Not too much standout songs, but good study music.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Mar 18 2021

Nice 90s grunge-y vibe! Will need to listen a bit more!

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 19 2021

Very wild, and seemed a little unfocused. But enjoyed some of the Gilmour-like guitar on the opening track.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Mar 22 2021

Absolute classic and 5 star album. Bombtrack, Killing in the name of, Bullet in the head, know your enemy, wake up, freedom, take the power back. One hit after another.

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 23 2021

Nothing to stand out here, but enjoyed the album. Probably needs another few spins.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Mar 24 2021

Liked this quite a bit! Very aggressive, old school UK rap. "I Luv U" was great. Will put this into the rotation.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Mar 25 2021

Not my most favorite. A bit too much hippy.

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 26 2021

Love it! Classic with many hits, including the title track, "last nite", "selfless". Love the slightly distorted voice

Pornography by The Cure
Mar 29 2021

Very dark and melodramatic. Liked the opening track, "Siamese Twins".

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Mar 30 2021

Very classic hip hop album. Juicy is a big hit ("it was all a dream"). Strong title track.

Mar 31 2021

Another classic hip hop album. Ice cube, Dr. Dre, Easy-E, Mc Ren. Only knew the title track and "Fuck Tha Police", but also other good tracks including "Express Yourself".

Apr 01 2021

Alright, but nothing too standout. Favorite is probably "I know I'm losing you"

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Apr 02 2021

Nice 90s grunge/anxiety. Die in the summer time, was probably my favorite. Need to listen to more of MSP!

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 05 2021

Love Nick Cave. "Into my arms" and "Are you the one that I've been waiting for" are classics.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Apr 06 2021

Nice, but not my type of music

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Apr 07 2021

Not my favorite Cardigans album, but still a few nice songs on it, including classic Lovefool.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Apr 08 2021

Not bad overall, just not my taste preference. After Hours is probably the favorite on this one.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Apr 09 2021

Great album. Love "I wanna be your dog".

Achtung Baby by U2
Apr 12 2021

Obviously "One" is a good song, but I just don't like U2.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Apr 13 2021

MMh not bad, but nothing that really stuck with me.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Apr 14 2021

Classic Boston album. Probably enjoyed most "Hospital" and "Dance with me"

Tommy by The Who
Apr 16 2021

Classic 70s concept album! Love it!

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 19 2021

"Despair" is very dark. Apart from this. not too much standout.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Apr 20 2021

Realizing that Jan Delay covered the beat from "Till Death Do us Part". Apart from this a bit too poppy for me, but not a bad record per se.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Apr 21 2021

Nothing too standout for me, but I enjoyed the title track "Bad Company"!

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 22 2021

"The Kindness of Strangers" and "Where the Wild Roses Grow" are favorite. Another nice album by Nick Cave.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Apr 26 2021

Very surprising and great album. Loved "Crucify", "Winter".

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 27 2021

Nothing too standout.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 28 2021

Not my favorite Bowie album, with much less standout songs than previous one (Ziggy Stardust)

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 29 2021

Lots of great hits, including the title song, "The Boxer", "Cecilia". Love it.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Apr 30 2021

Very weird, eclectic mix. Liked Longue Route, but not that much beyond it.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
May 04 2021

Nice singer songwriter stuff. Enjoyed "Todo Los dolores", "Will is my friend",

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
May 05 2021

Objectively good music, but not my cup of tea. "Blame it on the sun" was probably my favorite.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
May 06 2021

Nice, but not too many songs stood really out. Liked "Peace Like a River"

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
May 07 2021

A bit too artsy for me

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
May 12 2021

A bit too much hippy/indie for me, but not bad. Liked to opener and "We rule the school"

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
May 13 2021

Interesting, old school rap. Very political. Beats are a bit too outdated for me, but I can see this being quite fresh in the early 90s

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
May 14 2021

Always tough starting with a live album, but liked this one. "I want you to want me" and "Surrender" are probably the two biggest hits on this one!

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 18 2021

Nice one, with a few classics! Factory Girl is a new discovery.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
May 19 2021

Weird eclectic mix. A bit too much background / OST for me.

Hms Fable by Shack
May 20 2021

Not bad, but nothing that particularly stuck with me

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
May 21 2021

Angry, early 90s music. Will have to listen to this more. Liked the opener, but then it faded out a bit.

Homework by Daft Punk
May 26 2021

Love it! Besides the hits, Rollin & Scratchin was nice

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 28 2021

Not bad, but a bit too much hippy for me.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jun 02 2021

Old school hip hop. Probably quite fresh in 1990, and some cool tracks, but not my favorite rap era.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jun 03 2021

A bit too sappy for me! But some nice 80s tunes

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jun 07 2021

Not fully up my alley, but objectively not bad

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jun 08 2021

Nice Flaming Lips album. Definitely need to give this one more listens.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Jun 09 2021

Not too much my cup of tea. Reminds me quite a bit of Depeche Mode, late 80s synth stuff.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jun 10 2021

Nothing too memorable, nothing too bad/good.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jun 11 2021

Liked quite a bit, even though mostly instrumental! Classic bell tune

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jun 14 2021

Not bad, a few classics (go West), but nothing that blew my mind, despite being very British

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 15 2021

Not my cup of tea. A bit too much post punk

The Doors by The Doors
Jun 16 2021

Nice one with lots of classics. Surprisingly short songs, except for the End!

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jun 17 2021

Nice live album. Will give this a few more listens. "Baby I love your way" as the biggest hit.

Jun 18 2021

Despite being a big pink floyd fan, their early stuff is just too esoteric for me. Hurts to give Pink Floyd three stars

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 21 2021

Classic. Many good songs on it! Baby I'm Gonna Leave You, Dazed and Confused, Communication Breakdown. Heavy!

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 22 2021

Nothing that blew me out of the water, but not bad either!

Black Metal by Venom
Jun 23 2021

The album that started an entire genre. First listen, and actually quite liked it. Countess Bathory was great.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 24 2021

Nice, old school rock. Will listen one more time at least!

Da Capo by Love
Jun 28 2021

Nothing too noteworthy for me.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jun 29 2021

Quite funky, upbeat jazz.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 30 2021

Rock and roll classic!

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jul 02 2021

Apache is a cool track, but besides this not my favorite kind. More like OST music.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jul 05 2021

IGY is great! Very smooth album!

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jul 06 2021

Not my favorite Dylan album, but I love "Stuck inside of Mobile" and "Just like a woman"

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 07 2021

Nothing too standout for me. A bit too indie, but I can see why people like it.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jul 08 2021

Liked this much more than anticipated. Somehow, I never listened to any ZZ Top before. But they had some nice and groovy songs like "sharp dressed man" or "legs"

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Jul 09 2021

90s hip hop has not aged well. While I understand that it was probably influential and novel when it came out, on today's standard is (musically, not lyrically) less relevant

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Jul 12 2021

Sounds about three decades too late. Good mix of 70s and 90s punk In 2009. Lost and Found, Know your product as strong openers

S&M by Metallica
Jul 13 2021

As much as I love Metallica (and this was one of my first Metallica albums I listened to from start to finish), S&M is just overloaded. A lot of the orchestra stuff does not fit, especially in the faster songs. Obviously, some of the ballads (Nothing Else Matters, One, ..) the orchestra is brilliant, but on a whole it's often more a distraction than an addition.

White Light by Gene Clark
Jul 14 2021

Quite nice folk/country mix. Enjoyed "Because of you"

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jul 15 2021

Quite nice synth driven pop. Will have to give it a few more listens!

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jul 16 2021

First time actually listening through the Slim Shady LP and paying attention to the lyrics. Good album, and clearly set the foundation for Marshall Matters LP.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jul 19 2021

Pretty wild mix. Need to give it a few more listens, but pretty funky all over. Paper plans as big hit, probably because it's most approachable.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Jul 20 2021

Too much country/pop. Not my favorite cup of tea, but some few catchy songs

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jul 21 2021

A bit too old school / country for me. I liked "In the Pines" though because of the Nirvana relevance

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 22 2021

Nice one! Lots of quality songs; not the massive hits as other albums, but very solid overall!

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 23 2021

The album that started heavy metal. Love the rain on the opening track, followed by the haunting riffs.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jul 26 2021

Haven't had listened to Kanye's first album yet. All Falls Down and Jesus Walks as highlights. Will definitely give it another listen.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jul 27 2021

Nice songs on it, love the rendition of "In the Ghetto", but overall a bit too old school for me

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jul 28 2021

Very nice! Haven't listened to this album yet, but quite a big fan. Definitely can tell that Bon Iver has been influenced by this.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jul 30 2021

Really not my cup of tea. Lots of noise, and not the good kind. (Despite usually liking most Nick Cave stuff)

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Aug 02 2021

Very classic album. Lilac Wine, Hallelujah, and many other great songs.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Aug 03 2021

I personally prefer the vibe of the earlier albums, but this is still quite good. Enjoyed "Tomorrow's Dream", "Supernaut".

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Aug 04 2021

Nothing to standout for me. "Only A Hobo" was my favorite on a first listen.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Aug 06 2021

Not really my jam. Too old school 50/60s stuff.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 09 2021

Many many hits on this one. Spoonman, Fell on Black Days (favorite), Black Hole Sun. Great grunge milestone.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Aug 10 2021

Objectively not bad, but does not move me emotionally much. Quite relaxing and smooth.

Aug 11 2021

Anyway, here's Wonderwall. Joking aside, there are so many hits on this album. Don't look back in anger, hello, morning glory, champagne supernova! Very strong album and great encapsulation of the brit pop era

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 12 2021

Not very accessible. Would probably benefit from a few more repeats. Not my favorite Dinosaur Jr (on a first listen)

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Aug 16 2021

Unfortunately could not listen to the full album, but I enjoyed "Our House"

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Aug 17 2021

Pretty easy going 70s rock with some funky grooves. Will listen again.

Roots by Sepultura
Aug 18 2021

Love it! Roots bloody roots! Not my favorite Sepultura album (chaos ad), but still very good with cool tribal influence

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Aug 19 2021

didn't fully click with me!

Destroyer by KISS
Aug 20 2021

A bit too cheesy 70s rock for me, but pretty decent (or average) rock n roll album

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 23 2021

Classics \"America\" and \"Mrs. Robinson\". Hallmark of the hippy era.

Aug 24 2021

Just because of Tuesday’s Gone and Free Bird this is a strong album. Buy also enjoyed Simple Man. Strong, but 1-2 fillers as well.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Aug 25 2021

Very nice and dark. Paper bag and Deer Stop as two favorites. Will put this into the rotation!

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Aug 26 2021

Two weeks as a standout hit, but not bad all around! Also enjoyed About Face. Could use a bit more variety though.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Aug 31 2021

Not my favorite, too much country.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Sep 01 2021

First Beatles album, I listened to back to back. I enjoyed "Drive my car", "Girl" and "I'm looking through you". Overall better than anticipated.

Objectively not too bad, but I just can't get over Bono. Probably "In a little while" my surprise song from this album

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Sep 06 2021

Usually like Tom Waits, but somehow couldn't get too much out of this one. Too avantgarde

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 07 2021

Nice country songs. "Georgia on my mind", "Moonlight in vermont", "blue skies". Liked it.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Sep 08 2021

Like it! Quite folky. "Meadowlarks" was one of my favs

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 10 2021

Disarm is the song that made me discover Smashing Pumpkins. Love the fuzzy guitars

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Sep 13 2021

No my favorite type of music. But objectively not bad!

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 14 2021

Fantastic rap album. Slightly prefer good kid mad city, but still a great album, with many good songs (Alright, Momma, How Much A Dollar Cost)

The Visitors by ABBA
Sep 15 2021

Liked "one of us", apart from that, not much for me.

The Man Who by Travis
Sep 16 2021

Classic, late 1990s Brit Pop. Will have to give it a deeper listend beyond "why does it always rain on me"

Third by Portishead
Sep 17 2021

Quite like Portishead's album Dummy, but never have listened to any of their other stuff. Also very much like this, but slightly different vibes with less electro influence. Strong songs like The Rip.

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 21 2021

Many many classics: Heart shaped box, Pennyroal tea, rape me. For me not as strong as Nevermind, but still massive album

GI by Germs
Sep 22 2021

Spotify did not have the full album, only some mixed records. Not bad, but really tough to tell from very rough live songs.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 23 2021

Not my cup of tea. As most more "old school" rap albums, this one does not click with me

Brothers by The Black Keys
Sep 27 2021

Very strong album. Great fuzz guitars, stellar songwriting. "Next girl" my favorite, but many bangers on it.

Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 28 2021

Not my cup of tea. Too much disco disco.

American Pie by Don McLean
Sep 29 2021

Cheesy, but I liked it

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Sep 30 2021

Too much "talking" / avantgarde stuff.
