Popular Reviews

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales

Really catchy, gem I never would've found.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile

Never heard this before, but it was pretty good music. Not too intrusive, but perfect for the early evening.

Dry by PJ Harvey

Amazing voice, raspy and rocks out.

Other than The Look of Love, this felt almost unlistenable.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

AMAZING. One of my favourite albums.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jan 13 2021

An amazing intro to young Elvis. Whether it was cultural appropriation or bringing a new type of music to an audience who wasn't as openminded as we are today, it's still a fun listen.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jan 14 2021

So futuristic and influential. Creative and fun funk music.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 15 2021

Lots of classic songs. Mix of soul and western. Vocals are cool, have swagger and super distinct. Not a lot of diversity.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jan 21 2021

Solid album. She was way ahead of her time.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jan 22 2021

One of the best albums of all time.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 25 2021

Started strong, but it was fine. Solid album, just not amazing to us.

Jan 26 2021

Other than The Look of Love, this felt almost unlistenable.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 27 2021

Metallica playing with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra really accentuated the theatricality of their songs. I don't think I'd listen to it every day, but it's a good intro to Metallica.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jan 28 2021

Amazing voice, raspy and rocks out.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jan 29 2021

Amazing chill album

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Feb 01 2021

Wasn't looking forward to it, but was surprisingly good. Lots of catchy stuff.

Feb 03 2021

Lots of swearing and violence. Some good songs, but this was a different time

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 08 2021

Great album. I wasn't familiar with individual songs, but it's a great mix.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 09 2021

Other than "Where is my Mind?" not for us. Too loud and too fast. I've never felt older.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 11 2021

AMAZING. One of my favourite albums.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 12 2021

Really good album. Great rhymes and flow.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Feb 14 2021

I never listened to it before, but the mix of vocal and instrumentals is great. Nice introduction for me, but a favourite for her.

1999 by Prince
Feb 15 2021

Maybe the best three-song start to any album ever? Don't think I ever appreciated how prolific and talented Prince was when he was alive.

My Generation by The Who
Feb 16 2021

Some classic songs, felt like it really captured the era in the U.K.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Feb 17 2021

Okay album. The music was okay. Pretty diverse mix of influences.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Feb 18 2021

Really catchy, gem I never would've found.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Feb 20 2021

A few good singles, but hard to listen to.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 23 2021

Amazing world music. My first listen, but not my partner's.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Feb 24 2021

"It sounds like background music you'd hear at a bar."

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Feb 25 2021

Never heard this before, but it was pretty good music. Not too intrusive, but perfect for the early evening.

Be by Common
Feb 27 2021

Solid album. Testify was my favorite skit song.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 01 2021

Creative, but hard to listen to.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 02 2021

Amazing album. It's so easy to overlook Stevie Wonder sometimes, but this album is always worth coming back to.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Mar 06 2021

It's a different album. It's not something good all of the time, but it's really well made.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Mar 08 2021

It's a classic for a reason. Experimental and beautiful.

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 09 2021

We would never have listened to this album if not for the 1001 Albums list. Really good and surprisingly catchy.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 10 2021

This was a musical journey. It was weird to start, but by the end it was really good.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 11 2021

It was pretty experimental for a rock group, but not great to listen to.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 12 2021

Only two songs, but amazing. The sections weave seamlessly together.

Mar 14 2021

Didn't realize how many great songs there on there. Some experimental stuff that must have been crazy back when it came out. Really good album.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 20 2021
Nevermind by Nirvana
Apr 02 2021

Classic album.
