Popular Reviews

Imagine by John Lennon

I’m slowly realizing that a big part of the Beatles magic was the mix of their individual sounds together. Paul’s sound without John or George was great, but it was just missing something. This album further proves it. I think it’s the closest John sounded to his days in the Beatles... turns out George was on guitar for a lot of it... which, I think, is a huge reason why it’s as close as it is.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

Interesting grunge dive. Can’t help but feel they aped nirvana a bit.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 13 2021

I mean... it’s The Wall. One of the greatest “modern” albums!

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 17 2021

I’m not mad at it. The album does ooze a little bit of pretension, but, having read the bands origin, I understand why.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 18 2021

I enjoy the vibe of this. Very folk. Almost jester-like. Get a little monotonous after awhile, but, pretty solid.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 19 2021

Like the vibe. You can tell it’s right at the turn of the 80s sound becoming what become grunge in the 90s.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 20 2021

One of the best albums of the 90s! I enjoy the smashing pumpkins.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jan 21 2021

It’s salsa music! I enjoy it.

No Other by Gene Clark
Jan 23 2021

What a hidden gem this album is. Also ahead of its time.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 25 2021

Interesting... funny to hear a fusion of an Indian artist use rock influence instead of the other way around.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jan 27 2021

This is a fun album! Kind of folksy, kind of artsy and experimental.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jan 28 2021

Kind of Jazz, kind of pop. I have a sad disconnect since I can’t understand what she’s singing. But, I like it.

Queen II by Queen
Jan 30 2021

Queen! It’s an earlier sound for them. Not quite the queen we know, but, very well done none the less.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jan 31 2021

Definitely heard this one. One of my favorites. Very cynical, and considered a sell out album by them, but, as a concept album/rock opera style, it’s great!

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 01 2021

This Lady was special. You really feel it when she sings. Sad how things turned out for her. Would have been a bright career after this album.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Feb 02 2021

It’s Elvis... 4 stars

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 05 2021

Odd, but it has it moments.

Imagine by John Lennon

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 09 2021
In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 13 2021

I like this... this might be a new band discovery!

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Feb 18 2021

Wow... the album cover is strange and inappropriate, but, I like their sound.

xx by The xx
Feb 28 2021
Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Mar 03 2021

I enjoy this. You can tell it was slated to be a S&G album but was transitioned after Garfunkel left the project. I miss his harmonies, but, it’s interesting to see the trace elements of S&G in there.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Mar 05 2021
Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Mar 08 2021

This is one of my favorite albums so far.

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 13 2021
Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 18 2021

Has it ups... but not the hugest Springsteen fan.

1999 by Prince
Jul 27 2021
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Aug 01 2021

A different sound from Beach Boys

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 03 2021
Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jan 08 2022

I mean… it’s a classic Stones album with their signature sound.

Jan 09 2022

Interesting grunge dive. Can’t help but feel they aped Nirvana a bit.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jan 10 2022

Interesting grunge dive. Can’t help but feel they aped nirvana a bit.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jan 12 2022

Interesting grunge dive. Can’t help but feel they aped nirvana a bit.

Suede by Suede
Jan 14 2022
All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jan 15 2022

Very ahead of it’s time.
