Popular Reviews

Rubber Soul by Beatles

The turning point in The Beatles' discography. Great album that heralded even better ones.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio

One of the first albums I listened to when getting into jazz. Amazing brassless jazz album. Just a piano, drums and bass and it sounds great.

Marquee Moon by Television

Amazing album front to back, all killer no filler. Truly one of the best albums ever created, not only based on the quality of songs but also the composition of the album itself. Absolutely exceptional album.

Sincere by Mj Cole

I really don't enjoy electronic music and this was no exception. To make matters worse spotify onky has deluxe version of this album which is weird. Normally deluxe albums give you the album itself and then extra songs after those original ones but here they were mixed which made listening to it very annoying.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder

I feel like it's really difficult to dislike Stevie Wonder's style therefore the album is enjoyable to listen to. However I don't think this album needs to be this long and it just didn't keep my interest the whole way through.

1-Star Albums (8)

All Ratings (276)

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jan 13 2021

The cool kind of weird alternative up to the point when they start to sing... I just don't enjoy listening to German language.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jan 14 2021

There is a very nice vibe to it, quite hippy. A little too screamy for me but I can definitelly see why some would love it. Madame George is definitely a highlight of this album.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 15 2021

Not my favourite R.E.M. album but still quite enjoyable. Vocals are sometimes more mumbly than I'd like them to be but otherwise the sound is nice. 2nd listen was better than the 1st. Highlights: Moral Kiosk, Perfect Circle and Sitting Still.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jan 16 2021

Screamy white rap from 80's/90's is definitelly not my style but the album as a whole was not bad. Highlights: No Sleep Till Brooklyn and Fight For Your Right.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Jan 17 2021

It's basically an old time rapping. Music is just there to be a background for a guy to "sing" his poems. Quite enjoyable, melancholic in it's slow tempo and emotional lyrics.

The Bends by Radiohead
Jan 18 2021

Enjoyed it very much. It's just a great melodic Brit rock album. Highlights: High And Dry and Just.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jan 19 2021

I like alt rock and this album is no exception. I like how lyrics are bot at tbe centre of attention here and the distored guitar is the main focus on this album.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 20 2021

I really didn't enjoy this album. Which is a shame as it has the coolest cover so far.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jan 21 2021

Didn't enjoy the album even thought it wasn't obvioualy bad. It's just that it lies on the intersection of genres (punk, alt rock and hard rock) and it's not great at any of them. No idea why it's on the list.

Tical by Method Man
Jan 24 2021

While rap is not my favourite genre I enjoyed this album especially for the flow of Method Man.

Jan 25 2021

On average I liked Richard's songs more but I like Down Where The Drunkards Roll the best out of this album. As a whole it's ok.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jan 26 2021

Started strong and declined rather quickly.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jan 27 2021

Both the flow and the music are great, lyrics are also quite good. I love the jazz samples used in it.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 28 2021

Overall album is ok, it's Depeche Mode so it ain't bad. Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence and Policy of Truth are definitively the best songs here, standing out from the rest which are just ok.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jan 29 2021

I feel like it's really difficult to dislike Stevie Wonder's style therefore the album is enjoyable to listen to. However I don't think this album needs to be this long and it just didn't keep my interest the whole way through.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 30 2021

Great album with many of my favourite songs from Nirvana. Unfortunatelly there are a couple duds here that make me rate it not as high as I would like to.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 31 2021

Is ok. This album lands perfectly in the middle of the scale as I neither like it nor dislike it. Love Pt. 1 (Poem) is the highlightest of highlights as it's the only one I can say I actively liked.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Feb 01 2021

As far as hip-hop goes it was pleasant but I didn't love it. It's fine.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Feb 02 2021

Quite alright. It's MJ so it's hard for it to be bad. Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough is the obvious hit from this album.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Feb 03 2021

I hate electronic music. It started terrible, later it was a little more tolerable but that didn't change the first impression.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Feb 05 2021

Another album that's simply ok. Quite pleasant but I don't really see the need for it to be on this list.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 06 2021

A true musical experience. Just all around great album from one of the greatest guitar players ever.

All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople
Feb 07 2021

Another one of those albums that are perfecrly fine but I'm not sure it needs to be on this list. The titular song js amazing but apart from that it's just a good rock album but not mich more.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 08 2021

It's Dylan and he's always good. I'm not much of a fan but it was good. The album totally desrves a higher rating than what I give it but I'm just not a fan of Dylan's style (usually).

Queen II by Queen
Feb 09 2021

I love Queen, they're one of my favourite bands of all time. This however is one of my least favourite albums of theirs. Seven Seas Of Rhye is THE BEST song from Queen II but there is nothing else here that would be anywhere near this level of good. I still like the album very much but it won't get a 5. There are 3 Queen albums on this list and I think there are better ones that deserve to be here.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 10 2021

Uninspiring. I liked how it differs from other albums by having a lot of short songs rather than the usual number of songs with the usual length. But we all lnow that quantity doesn't mean quality.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Feb 13 2021

It's so very reggae and I'm not a fan. Nothing outstanding maybe except for lyrics which usually are "woke" either way...

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 15 2021

Too punk for me.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Feb 16 2021

I like the minimalistic feel of it. It's just a songer with her acoustic guitar and a bit of accompaniment but not too much. Very cool vibes that fit the lyrics very well.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 17 2021

Like I said oreviously it's hard to dislike Stevie Wonder. This album was better than the previous one. More concise and had a better structure. I liked it.

Feb 18 2021

Good british alternative rock. Nothing amazing or revolutionary but a solid album nontheless.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 19 2021

Apparently baroque pop is a thing and apparently it's a subgenre of rock and not pop. Either way I liked this album. It's just a man singing his songs accompanied with melodic rock music.

Mask by Bauhaus
Feb 21 2021

Lyrics were hard to discern and I don't like that. There were a couple of cool riffs but apart from that music was not my style.

Feb 22 2021

Just a man telling his stories and some jazz in the background. But I love it. It couldn't be bad with that voice and that jazz. A studio recorded album that tried to recreate the feel of a small jazz club and succeeded.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Feb 24 2021

Overall the album is solid but nothing amazing. However it ended on the highest note possible - Time of the Season. This song by itself is 5/5 which makes rating the album difficult...

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Feb 25 2021

A man and an acoustic guitar. Cool but I've heard better versions of this type of duet.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 26 2021

There's nothing wrong with this album but it's not my kind of music. Just a noninteruptive scottish pop.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Feb 27 2021

Eh... There's too much synth in this rock. New wave was alright but not in this particular case.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Feb 28 2021

I'm too old for this. Rap metal is not a genre for me anymore if it ever was. Killing In The Name is the obvious highlight here but I like it way less than I used to.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Mar 01 2021

Quite alright. Life's What You Make It is the highlight here that even got a cover which was way more popular but oh well, that's how life works I guess.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Mar 03 2021

A rather diverse album that's good all around which is quite an accomplishment when playing so many different styles.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 04 2021

Very good instrumental music. Part 4 is the best by far thought.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Mar 05 2021

It was alright to listen to but it's supposed to be punk and in my opinion it was quite boring for it to be punk...

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 06 2021

Good ol' rock 'n' roll. It's neither very hard nor very pop-y. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Mar 07 2021

Another rock album that hits the perfect spot (not too heavy, not too light). It's an hour long album with 5 mega hits and most of the other songs are almost equally good just not on the same level of popularity. There was like 1 song which I was meh about and that's impressive on an hour long album.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 08 2021

It's David Bowie so it's gotta be good. Most of this album is simply good, but there are two songs here that I would say are my favourite songs of his: Changes and Life On Mars. While the album is a 4/5 those two songs are 6/5.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Mar 09 2021

The turning point in The Beatles' discography. Great album that heralded even better ones.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 10 2021

Early 2000's american indie. Boring.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Mar 11 2021

Apparently this was supposed to challenge the "British Invasion" and compete with The Beatles... No.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Mar 14 2021

Clapton is god. One of the greatest guitarists ever and an overall very good album. No duds but also not a lot of mega hits, just some very solid tunes.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Mar 15 2021

Good ol' "new" Cohen. Quite alright but nothing spectacular.

Mar 16 2021

It's good but there's a bit too much synth for my liking. The titular song is an obvious highlight here.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Mar 17 2021

Very good album for a one time listen. While I liked it, I don't foresee myself coming back to it. The album tells a coherent story, it's alternative rock which I like but it didn't grab me like it could have.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Mar 18 2021

Another big fat NO for the band. Eight Miles High may be the only song I might consider saying that I enjoyed, mostly for the solo.

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Mar 19 2021

Very old timey rock 'n' roll. The biggest surprise was this tame version of Love Hurts which felt... weird but nice.

Blur by Blur
Mar 20 2021

Song 2 is amazing, the rest is very meh.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 22 2021

Very good. Even though most of songs on this album are not mega hits and only Immigrant Song desrves to be called that, it's a very good rock album.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 24 2021

It's a third Cohen album and it all sounds the same. It starts to get boring.

The Score by Fugees
Mar 25 2021

I hate albums like this one. Cause most of it is very not my style but there is 1 mega hit on it and everything changes. Killing Me Softly With His Song is a banger, Mista, Mista is also quite alright, rest I don't like.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 26 2021

I'm not much of a fan of live albums except for a few outstanding ones. This is good rock for sure, but it's live...

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Mar 27 2021

Very good metal album. My opinion may be a little skewed as it's the first album I listened to using KZ ZS10 Pros and the experience of listening to music with good headphones is so very good.

My Generation by The Who
Mar 28 2021

I'm quite unimpressed. La-La-La-Lies is quite good and the titular song is by far the best one but... it's so very generic and I feel like the mastering here is quite subpar. With my new IEMs My Generation sounded quite like a mess, which I wasn't able to hear before.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Mar 29 2021

Very "polite" new wave band. Nothing special, just ok.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 30 2021

It says something that my favourite track on this album is a 23 second skit that's basically only samples with 2 lines of vocals. Not exactly my style but a good album nontheless. Apparently it's been very influential in rap/hip-hop world and I can see why.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Mar 31 2021

Very nice garage rock'n'roll. There's a good mix of really good covers of classic rock'n'roll songs and a couple of original arrangements which are plenty good themselves.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Apr 01 2021

I was very pleasantly surlrised by this album. Looking at the cover and the name I was absolutely expecting reggae which was not the case. Instead I got cool trip hop I could chill to.

1977 by Ash
Apr 02 2021

I didn't quite like it even thought it's 90s garage rock / grunge which I should at least enjoy a little. But something was off and I didn't.

Faith by George Michael
Apr 03 2021

Actually very good album which has plenty of great songs. At first glance I knew that Faith was good and expected other songs to be OK at best. But it was actually very good.

Stankonia by OutKast
Apr 04 2021

Very good rap album which I didn't like. Ms. Jackson was great but almost everything else is very much not my style. However I see why it's considered to be great and why it deserves to be on this list.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 05 2021

Great cover of Hallelujah... as far as other songs... they're also here. Very much an album where one song is head and shoulders above everything else.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Apr 06 2021

One of the first albums I listened to when getting into jazz. Amazing brassless jazz album. Just a piano, drums and bass and it sounds great.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 07 2021

Very influential and historically important album that's still as amazing as it was back in the day. However I have a small quibble with it. I tried listening to the original mono version and it felt very bland. Stereo is just so much better. Also this was the first album I listened to on Hifiman HE-400i.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Apr 08 2021

I really don't enjoy electronic music and this was no exception. To make matters worse spotify onky has deluxe version of this album which is weird. Normally deluxe albums give you the album itself and then extra songs after those original ones but here they were mixed which made listening to it very annoying.

Pink Flag by Wire
Apr 09 2021

I wasn't expecting much after looking at the wikk but I was pleasantly surprised. It's a very solid pop punk album.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Apr 10 2021

Miles Davis did it again. He revolutionized jazz once more. Amazing jazz album.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Apr 11 2021

Very good. I mostly knew Paul Simon for his time in Simon & Garfunkel and his only solo hit I knew was Al. He's a very talented songwriter.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Apr 12 2021

Great album, very consistent all throughout, no noticable duds. I absolutely love The Black Keys' style. Immediatelly added this one to my collection. Saying all that I'm not 100% sure about my rating, it gets 5 stars as I imagine I'll only like it more with more listenings.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Apr 13 2021

Quite alright. I might have been a little too harsh on Astral Weeks which I got at the beginning of this journey. Having a little more perspective changes a lot.

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 14 2021

German kosmische musik is definitely not my style. The album has some fun moments but overall it's too weird for me.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Apr 15 2021

Pet Sounds it is not. There are some fine tunes here but overall nothing super impressive.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 17 2021

Amazing voice. It's not something I would listen to often but it's great piece of music. Just not exactly my regular style.

Soul Mining by The The
Apr 18 2021

Another post-punk album. It's quute pleasant but nothing spectacular.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Apr 19 2021

I dunno... just another punk album. Bad? Eh. Good? Neither...

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Apr 20 2021

Even thought bossa nova is a form of jazz I don't think I'm a fan. It's weird, it doesn't sound bad but I wanted to stop midway through the album... I soldiered through it and it got better later but it wasn't easy.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Apr 21 2021

Started really strong and ended just fine. 3 heavy hitters at the beginning were a slight shock as I didn't expect they were from Van Halen's debut album.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Apr 26 2021

This album answers the question that nobody asked before "what if Velvet Underground & Nico had more reverb and feedback noise?" The result is an album that wears its inspirations on its sleeve while at the same time inspiring a whole new genre of music. It's definitely not an easy listen but it's pretty rewarding even if the quality of the album is quite uneven throughout.

Pornography by The Cure
May 04 2021

Solid album but not really my style. The entire album was quite dark and grim which makes sense for a goth band but I very much prefer the more upbeat singles by The Cure.

May 08 2021

Very good rock album. Way better than Murmur, R.E.M. feels like a fully realised band on this one.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 10 2021

Very good album. Maybe it's just me but it gave me a lot of Graceland vibes even though it's quite different.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
May 11 2021

Very solid americana album. Not a lot to add here.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
May 24 2021

First rock opera and it's fine. A little long, has it's moments but also quite a bit of filler making it just fine.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
May 25 2021

The titular song is a 20 minute prog rock epic and it's very interesting. The rest is good but doesn't really compare to the first track.

Boston by Boston
May 28 2021

The album is more than just More Than A Feeling. At least that's what I thought while listening to it. Later on I didn't remember anything about it apart from that hit song. It's good but very repeatable to the point where tge songs blended together into one constant stream of music.

Jun 02 2021

I liked how upbeat the album was but in the end it's still just country which isn't really my genre.

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 03 2021

Joy Division is not for me. I like Love Will Tear Us Apart and not much more. I can't complain about the quality of music because it's rather good, but it just doesn't speak to me.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jun 04 2021

Very good prog rock album however Tom Sawyer is the de facto hit song from it overshadowing everything else.

Moon Safari by Air
Jun 07 2021

I'm usually not a big fan of electronic music, but this album is just great. I know the bar isn't very high but it's probably my favourite of its genre.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jun 11 2021

Amazing 5 singles, some of the best RHCP ever made. The rest of the album is fine, nothing very memorable outside of those hits, but everything kinda just fits together.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jun 12 2021

Not a lot of hit singles on this one, but it doean't matter because the album is amazing as a whole. Hendrix's style is just great and it's hard for me not to like whatever he's recorded.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jun 14 2021

Weather With You is a definite highlight of the album. It's good but nothing spectacular.

Jun 16 2021

To quote the man himself "music as ignorable as it is interesting". Great starting spot for ambient music.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jun 18 2021

Very good classic blues. What else to say.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 20 2021

Peaches En Regalia is an amazing track. The rest of the album is also great, from technical point of view. However it's exactly my style.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 26 2021

Truly a masterpiece. Amazing clash of personalities of some of the best jazz players of all time recorded on a truly timeless album.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 28 2021

Nothing special, very generic rock with two exceptions. Fell In Love With A Girl and We're Going To Be Friends are great, but the rest is nothing spectacular.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jun 30 2021

Very good hard rock album. Child In Time is amazing, Bloodsucker is also pretty great. The rest is ok. I just don't feel like there's a lot of substance here. Good listen but not something I will often come back to.

Jul 02 2021

Not a fan of this one. It's quite weird and I have to admit that this is probably a kind of album that would grow on me with multiple listens... which I'm currently not willing to give it.

Jul 03 2021

Great indie debur album. Some amazing hits and some more niche bangers. Great stuff.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 07 2021

Not the best CCR album (that would be Cosmo's Factory) but it's not far from it. Great record.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jul 08 2021

Super energetic, no wonder Rock'n'Roll became a craze at the time. I cannot deny how influential Little Richard and this album were but music moved foreward and it doesn't stand out as much as it used to. Songs are quite simple melodically which makes them very similiar to one another.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 17 2021

Very good country rock album, but not something I would come back to often. Heart Of Gold and Old Man are amazing, but the rest is still solid.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 19 2021

Very good, very groovy album. Great soundtrack that tells a story even without the movie. Funky as hell.

Fragile by Yes
Jul 20 2021

Amazing Prog album with issues. Because of money/time problems the recording of the album had to include solo compositions of each band member. Those were not that good. The rest however is top prog, especially Roundabout.

Jul 21 2021

Great production up until the last few minutes of Runaway. After that the album dips a little in quality. However the front of this album is purely amazing.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Jul 26 2021

Quite alright but not my style.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 27 2021

Good - Imagine and Jealous Guy. Meh - the rest.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jul 31 2021

It's a classic for sure. A very historically important and influential album. But I'm not sure how much I actually like it. It's great but I feel like my opinion is a little scewed by the reverence of it.

American Pie by Don McLean
Aug 06 2021

American Pie and Vincent are amazing songs. The rest of the album is an adequate collection of perfectly fine folk songs. Nothing bad, but also nothing outstanding (except for the two songs I mentioned).

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 09 2021

Great music but not an amazing album. There are plenty of superb hits, but the album as a whole is quite long and a little inconsistent. Cutting the run time by 2 songs would have made it great, but as is it's good.

Be by Common
Aug 13 2021

Fine. It's Your World is a defonitive highlight of the album. The rest ranges from meh to fine.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Aug 14 2021

Very enjoyable. Title track is great, other songs are slightly below it quality-wise but are still quite good. Overall good album I will definitelly return to.

Aug 17 2021

This is such a weird album. Ray Charles tried to straddle between country and soul but in my opinion didn't fully succeed in any of those genres. Because of that it's a very mixed bag of songs that are neither painful nor really exciting to listen to.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 24 2021

It's fine. There are some good riffs here and there but overall it's not for me. It gets quite tiring to listen to this almost hour long album. I get that is what appeals to fans of the genre but not to me.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 25 2021

Early Beatles are not my favourite. The album was good but very simple. I prefer their later releases where the band has pushed many boundries of music. This is fine.

American Idiot by Green Day
Aug 26 2021

Better than I remembered it to be. There's plenty of amazing hits while the rest of the album is rather consistently good. The quality dips a little at the end but that might be just me not enjoying too long albums which this is one of those.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 28 2021

It's good. Nothing on this album beats the intro to the first song but overall it's consistently good.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Sep 04 2021

Summertime and Piece Of My Heart are amazing. So is cover art. The rest of the album is fine but not much more.

Da Capo by Love
Sep 07 2021

She Comes In Colors is amazing. The rest is nothing special but still enjoyable.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Sep 12 2021

Poet first, musician second. Quite monotonous as it's focus was on lyrics way more than on melodies. Worth a listen but I won't be coming back to this one, Leonard Cohen has made some better material later on.

Synchronicity by The Police
Sep 13 2021

Simply great. I will definitelly come back to this album in the future. Mother is the single track that didn't grab me immediatelly because of how different it is but I'll probably like it more with consecutive listening. Everything else on this album is just consistently good.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Sep 15 2021

Musically it's ok, lyrically however it's great. Amazing satire with some catchy tunes in the background.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Sep 26 2021

I would have never suspected the debut album of the man that rocked the world to be this tame. This album has both some true rock'n'roll classics as well as some slower ballads. Pretty good but not as good as some other R'n'R artists Elvis "borrowed" from.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 27 2021

Yellow is amazing. I don't know why would this be an album you have to listen to before you die. It's an ok debut album from an early 2000s rock band but it doesn't compare favorably to their competition.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Sep 29 2021

Quite alright but not amazing. Would work great as background/lounge music but not as an album to be listened to front to back. I liked the vibe more than the actual melodies.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Sep 30 2021

Very good fusion jazz. Not all tracks are winners here but overall it's pretty solid.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Oct 01 2021

It's too fast for me. I get that speed is one of the defining characteristics of thrash metal but in this case there's not much else here apart from the speed. Technically the album is solid, but that's not enough to peak my interest.

Purple Rain by Prince
Oct 02 2021

Very good but moat of its strength comes from When Doves Cry and Purple Rain. The rest of the album is good but pales in conoarison to those two hits.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Oct 04 2021

Quite alright brazilian pop which definitely is not my wheelhouse. There are actually 2 artists on this album, Milton Nascimento to whom this album is assigned on this site and Lô Borges who only has 4 songs on the album but in my opinion by far steals the show.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Oct 11 2021

Please stop. Lyrically it's a little too prachy, melodically it's fine at best but mostly it's meh. I wanted it to end after 2nd or 3rd song.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Oct 13 2021

Just great, in regular rotation.

Oct 19 2021

Better than their debut, has more hit singles and is overall quite alright. But it still isn't as good as their competition...

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Oct 22 2021

Very difficult listening. It's great but not exactly my style. I can understand why so many people love it though.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 27 2021

It's good. Titular track is better than others but not by a lot. Overall very consistent in quality.

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 31 2021

Amazing album that redefined the band. Idioteque is my favourite track but all of them are simply great. Not my favourite Radiohead album but top 3 for sure.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Nov 01 2021

Very different to Remain In Light and that's perfectly fine. I liked it.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Nov 02 2021

Another amazing album and another career defining moment for the band. Great track all around with Videotape being my favourite. Better than Kid A in my opinion but I still prefer OK Computer to it.

Nov 05 2021

I don't know how to feel about this album. On one hand I liked majority of tracks, on the other hand I felt it prolonged quite quick.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Nov 06 2021

Peaks at the very beginning with the first 2 tracks. Then it's mostly downhill from that. Still very good as far as debuts go but Led Zeppelin made much better albums than their first one.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Nov 07 2021

Very good. There arw a couple track that are considerably worse than the others but there are 4 great hits that make up for that in spades.

Nov 08 2021

I wasn't amazed by it at all. It's perfectly in the middle of the road but I kinda hoped for more.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Nov 13 2021

Great album. Starts very strong and goes strong for most of its runtime but I feel like the last 2 tracks are considerably worse than the rest.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 17 2021

I found this album to be very uneven. The big hits out of it are very good, top notch hard rock / heavy metal songs. Everything else however is very mid and I didn't really find a "diamond in the rough" among the deep cuts of this album. Overall it's just fine.

Forever Changes by Love
Nov 18 2021

An underrated gem and one of my favourite psychedelic rock albums. I'm so very glad this album is on this list cause otherwise I would have never found out about it. There are plenty of album choices that I disagree with and they absolutely don't have to listened to before you die, but this one for sure fits the description.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 23 2021

Is this the so called "dad-rock"? Definitelly yes. Is it good? Also yes. There's a couple of meh tracks in the middle but there's also a lot of good stuff here. Not an album I would listen to on repeat but when the mood comes some "dad-rock" is perfectly fine.

Nov 25 2021

Amazing jazz concept album. The idea behind it was to write the album as if it was a ballet and I can absolutelly hear that. It's not an easy listen but very much well worth the time.

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 27 2021

Very solid. Absolutely can understand why for some people it's R.E.M.'s best work but I still think Automatic for the People is their best album. Very overtly political.

Revolver by Beatles
Nov 30 2021

I'd say it's perfect if not for the Yellow Submarine... otherwise it's an amazing album that only cemented The Beatles' status as the best band of their time.

Debut by Björk
Dec 01 2021

Quite good but not my style. I appreciate it for what it is but I'm probably not coming back to it much.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Dec 04 2021

I find this album both good and fun. At the same time I don't think I'm going to revisit it anytime soon. It just didn't really peak my interest as much as some other heavy metal albums.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Dec 06 2021

Great album that I'm not entirely sure what to think about. Usually if I feel like that about an album I'll end up listening to it more and more until I finally make my mind and at that point I'll be a fan. Therefore I'll skip to the part where I like the album (even though it's kinda lengthy) and rate it appropriately.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Dec 07 2021

Very stylistically diverse album. You'll find everything here, from more ethereal dream pop to effect dense shoegaze and heavier grunge. Which might be the reason this album has garnered quite a bit of mainstream success as opposed to more pure shoegaze records.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Dec 12 2021

There are a couple of duds on this album but overall it's pretty solid. Stylistically it's a little weird as it's pretty much spoken word rock and that's cool.

Dec 16 2021

Great album if a little long. It's length is probably going to be the only reason I don't listen to it as much as it deserves to be listened to.

Dec 19 2021

One of the greatest albums of all time and my favourite Beatles album. Revolutionary for its time and still holds up today. Can't say enough good things about it because it's basically perfect (in my humble opinion). I like all the tracks even those people think are not that great like Good Morning Good Morning or For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite. My least favourite song here is Lovely Rita which I still like just not as much as the rest.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 25 2021

Very good. An album that pushed the boundries and set an incredibly high bar for a new music genre (at the time) shoegaze. This album is another case where I wish the rating system on this site had more than just 5 ratings. By giving it a 4 I feel like robbing it of the credit it absolutely deserves, but I also don't feel like it deserves a 5 yet, for that I'd need to listen to it a couple more times.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 04 2022

Very solid album. A bunch of hits surrounded by pretty good deep cuts.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 15 2022

Quite good but I still prefer Californication better. I much more like the more regular rock or funk rock tracks than the rap rock ones which I feel is a bit dated as a genre nowadays (at least for me).

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 16 2022

To say that White Album is experimental is like saying that grass is green and sky is blue. It's quite a mixed bag, it has some of The Beatles' best work and some of their least memorable. Regardless of inconsistency it's still an amazing achievement in their discography. Some bands can only dream to achieve the heights of this album but the Beatles have had even better ones. Truly one of the best bands of all time.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jan 27 2022

Amazing album front to back, all killer no filler. Truly one of the best albums ever created, not only based on the quality of songs but also the composition of the album itself. Absolutely exceptional album.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 28 2022

Magnificent fusion jazz album. Very atmospheric, music speaks for itself, the reflective melancholic vibe comes through 100%. Miles Davis being genius as always.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Feb 03 2022

Another great Bowie album. It's not one of my favourites but it's still really good and it desreves to be recognized among his greater works. Also the cover is iconic.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Feb 08 2022

It's amazing especially looking at the circumstances in which this concert happened. Keith Jarret had mild food poisoning, he was playing on wrong piano and there was some delay to everything that happened. Even with those hurdles he managed to perform one of the best (recorded) piano jazz concerts.

Metallica by Metallica
Feb 12 2022

I know it's a very basic take but I think this album is very good. I know Metallica somewhat "sold out" with this album by going more mainstream as opposed to their previous very much thrash metal style. But this album is simply great.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Feb 20 2022

Very good, very chill album. It's very easygoing but that doesn't mean it's poorly made or anything like that. There is certain art to making an album this seamless.

Feb 27 2022

Quite alright. I can see myself liking it more with more listens as it has pretty distinct sound I'd need to get my ears more used to.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Mar 03 2022

This is the definition of an alright album. It has a couple great hits, nothing in particular stands out as bad, but at the same time the album as a whole is somewhat unremarkable and forgettable. It's perfectly fine.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 04 2022

Great album with amazing singles however the rest of the tracks are significantly worse. As a whole Ten is still very good if a little inconsistent.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Mar 05 2022

In my opinion the best Led Zeppelin album. It's just very solid, no duds, everything is very good.

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 10 2022

Great album. A little long for my liking as it's a 70 minutes single album. Regardless I really enjoyed it. Most tracks sound pretty same-ish but all of them are very wrll made and it doesn't make the monotonous.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Mar 21 2022

Very solid space ambient album. Really like it.

Mar 28 2022

Pretty good. Usually I'm not a live music enthusiast but this album barely felt live to me. Performance was stellar and I didn't really hear the audience disturb the recording so that's also a big plus.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Mar 31 2022

Great swing album although a little repetitive. Luis Prima's voice seems to be larger than life here. Sure there are some songs here that sounds almost identical but I'm not holding that against the album.

Abraxas by Santana
Apr 01 2022

Great album. Not much else to say here. It's in my rotation for a while now and I don't see me getting bored with it.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Apr 04 2022

Amazing album that pushed cemented Pink Floyds status as one of the greatest bands right after their groundbreaking Dark Side of the Moon. Some say Wish You Were Here is better but to me their basically equal but most importantly different. DSotM is more immediate while WYWH takes it's time to build up. Either way amazing stuff all around.

Apr 08 2022

Amazing. Right out of the gate this album defined prog rock genre and set a very high bar for anything that would follow it. Overall great stuff.

Apr 11 2022

True classic. One of the best albums ever recorded. Progressive rock at it's peak.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Apr 12 2022

80's were a rough time for rock. Brothers on Arms is a very good album but it's pretty far removed from modern rock. It's not a bad thing by itself but it most likely means that I won't be returning much to this album.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 21 2022

Pretty nice synth pop. Not much else to say here. A solid album.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Apr 22 2022

Amazing. Beautifully painted soundscapes all thought the album make it a true classic of the genre. Can't help but adore it.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Apr 30 2022

Apart from Blister in the Sun it's nothing extraordinary or special. Some solid rocking but nothing very memorable.

Is This It by The Strokes
May 03 2022

I love 90s/00s alt rock so this should be a no brainer for me. And while the album is great it just never clicked with me to the same degree as some album from that genre from that time period.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 04 2022

Absolute masterpiece. Perfection on every level. It's honestly excruciatingly difficult to find any flaw in this album so I'm not even going to try. Also balls.

Nevermind by Nirvana
May 15 2022

A truly classic album if I ever heard one. Very front loaded and honestly a bit uneven in the second half. And because of that it's not exactly one of my favourites in the alternative rock landscape.

Diamond Life by Sade
May 27 2022

So very good. Sade's voice is amazing and this entire album is a masterclass in storytelling. Great stuff.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
May 28 2022

A fine outlaw country album. I imagined Willie Nelson sitting on a porch in a rocking chair playing guitar telling his stories when I listened to this album. It's alright but I'm still not really into country therefore my score is as it is.

Jun 01 2022

Very solid album but it's a little too techno for an album that calls itself ambient. This is basically my only gripe with this album as most of it is really good, especially from the technical point of view.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 11 2022

Excellent album. For me it's the best one from the Berlin trilogy for sure and I might even go as far to say it might be Bowie's best overall. For me Low and Ziggy are Bowie's peak and depending in the mood I might say that one is better than the other.

Spiderland by Slint
Jun 12 2022

Very good. Very ominous in it's vibe, cold and calculated. Certainly not an easy listen. I had to digest it twice to kinda "get it" and it's the type of album that I can see myself appreciate even more the more I listen to it.

Jun 17 2022

Probably the most "hard" rocking Queen album. It's very good but once again it's nowhere near my favourite from that band.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 21 2022

Very solid trip hop album. I can absolutely see myself liking it more if I come back to it.

Jun 25 2022

Amazing debut. Great garage rock album and one of the earliest examples of internet fame translating into a massive success. I love this album and keepnit in constant rotation. It's hard for me to find a bad track here.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Jul 02 2022

Definitely overhyped. People say that Grateful Dead were at their best when performing live... too bad I'm not a fan of live music. As is American Beauty is a weird mix of americana, country and psychedelic rock that's just fine but doesn't excel at any of thise particular genres.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jul 11 2022

Amazing art pop album, truly a classic. Absolutely deserves a 5 if not for 1 small thing. I'm pretty sure that I suffered physical damage listening to that oscillating effect on my headphones. It's really hard to listen to it without getting a headache which is a shame...

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 16 2022

Very good, definitely revolutionary for its time and greatly influential for many years to come. For me it's not exactly the sound I'm actively looking for these days. In the past I liked it way more than now, but tastes change and evolve so I'm not blaming the album for suddenly getting worse or anything like that.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jul 28 2022

Great fusion jazz / funk album. It's a classic for good reasons.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 30 2022

A true country classic. Very solid live album, Johnny Cash has great chemistry with his audience which adds to my enjoyment of this album very much.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Aug 06 2022

Quirky but in a good way. Album starts with a couple shirter songs that I wish were just a little longer. Then you're hit by a masterpiece cover of Without You which is followed by the goofiest song on this entire album Coconut. It's a little weird but I like it.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Aug 20 2022

Pretty good classic album. The historical birthalbum of heavy metal. The album is revolutionary in its own right, however it didn't really wow me as much as I might have expected. Unfortunately it pales in comparison to their next release which very well might be the best metal album ever made.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Sep 04 2022

It's my 2nd time coming back to this album and it's much better now then at the very beginning of my music journey. Great synth work throughout the entire album.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Sep 15 2022

Great album that I have 2 relatively small issues with that are tied together. First is that the jam session at the end of this triple album is alright but nothing overall spectacular. And the second is the fact that it's a triple album and it's absolutely too long. There are some truly amazing songs here but I don't think I'm going to come back to this record frequently purely because of its length.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Sep 21 2022

Great album. I really enjoy Taylor's collaboration with Jack Antonoff on folklore and evermore. I wasn't much of her fan before but with this change of style I'm a changed man.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 01 2022

There's a lot of radio/MTV hits on this album that I forgot about. And that's the extent of the "good" things I can say about it. The album is very monotonous, production is meh, I disliked every single rap into by Mike Shinoda (I think he's best used for backup instead of main vocals). Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but revisiting this album after many years made me realise it's actually pretty mid.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Oct 02 2022

Pretty good new wave album. Some amazing hits and some meh deep cuts. Overall it's fine but it's not something I'm gonna add to my constant rotation, but I'll be glad to return to it from time to time.

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 08 2022

Great album. If not for Smackwater Jack this would have been a 5 but that track while alright feels weird here. I've grown to like it but it still comes out of nowhere and completely changes the vibe of the album. Other than that it's truly a masterpiece in storytelling and minimalistic arrangements.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 10 2022

This list is full of amazing David Bowie albums and this one is no exception. Great concise album, not on the same level as Low or Ziggy (those being my favourites) but it's pretty close.

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 12 2022

Very solid album with some great hits. The deep cuts here are pretty meh but don't drag the good songs down. The End takes this album up a notch.

Vespertine by Björk
Oct 29 2022

It's quite ok but I wouldn't say it's my favourite Bjork album. It feels very samey throughout, which by itself is not a problem but it's not really my genre so that only accentuated some of the things I dislike about electronic. I've only listened to it once and I could see getting accustomed to it with more listens but I'm not sure if I want to come back to this record much.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Nov 02 2022

So very good. The album left me speechless and I couldn't rate it for a couple of days. I had to really think hard about it because it's so good. Very atmospheric as all great post rock albums tend to be. Feels very much as if it was out of this world (it's from Iceland so that's pretty close to the truth). I'm definitely going to return to it many a time.

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 03 2022

Great album. Probably my favourite from this genre (which isn't exactly my forte). Just really solid overall, great vibes all around. It's groovy, it's melodic, it's simply very good.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Nov 10 2022

One of the greatest albums ever put to vinyl. A real mastepiece. Some of The Beatles' best tracks are on this album, even the more silly songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer are pretty good here. However the absolute best part of this album is The Meddley. A true classic in every meaning of that word.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Nov 12 2022

This is when music albums started looking like what we know an album to look like. Some would even say it's the first concept album. It's good, revolutionary in certain aspects, very standard when it comes to music. The album can feel a bit long as most of the songs are pretty similar both melodically and thematically.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 19 2022

I consider it pretty funny that The Wall is basically a Roger Waters solo project but the best song on the album is David Gilmour's Comfortably Numb. It's definitely worth it to listen to it once but because of how thematically heavy and how long the album is it's not going to get constant rotation from me.

2112 by Rush
Dec 01 2022

Technically it's a very good prog record. However it's mostly unexciting to me for no apparent reason. Tears is my highlight from the album.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Dec 16 2022

Great album, very influential, a little difficult to listen to (at least at first). Very much something I had to warm up to just as most everybody back when it came out.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Dec 20 2022

Overall good but not exactly my style. I like my hip hop a little less aggressively 90s than this.

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 14 2023

Very solid and most importantly consistent country album. All songs are quality throughout the entire record. Enjoyed it enough to potentially return to this album later on.

Jan 17 2023

A proper prog rock album. Clean to a fault. While Fragile is far from perfect I think because of its imperfections I like it a but more than Close To The Edge. It's still a very good album but it kinda feels a little bit too sterile to me.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Jan 23 2023

Stellar production, amazing beats and pretty mid lyrics. Great album that defined G-funk as a genre. Very solid "features" from Snoop Dogg, one could almost mistake this for a colab album.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Feb 17 2023

It's pretty alright, quite funny in a certain way. Overall a fine mix of country and psychedelic rock... but mostly just country.

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 18 2023

I'm very conflicted about this album. Obviously it's great but I can't stop myself from feeling a little "off" about it. Past me who loved this genre more than I do now wouldn't have liked this album as much as I wasn't really able to appreciate truly good music back then. But present me is a little burned out on alternative rock so even though I can see what makes this album great I don't enjoy it as much as I feel I could. Oh well... I'll probably revisit this particular review in a couple of years thinking how stupid I was when I wrote it.

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 24 2023

Amazing opening track, the rest of the album is a little inconsistent but it's still very good.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Feb 25 2023

This album shows the genius of Miles Davis even before he was THE Miles Davis.

Illmatic by Nas
Feb 26 2023

Great debut album, solid rap classic.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Feb 28 2023

Truly a timeless classic. It works wonders as an introduction to jazz.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Mar 05 2023

It's a very solid early 2000's alternative rock album. I know it's not perfect but it's one of two albums that got me really into music as a serious hobby and not just something that plays in the background or in the car. Also it's got to be one of the greatest debut albums of all time.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Mar 21 2023

What can I say about this album that hasn't been said already. One of the greatest albums of all time and one of my personal favourites as well.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 01 2023

Great rap album. Kendrick has shown that he's one of the best lyricists out there and this album was just the beginning for him.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Apr 19 2023

Very good soul album with great sociopolitical commentary on USA's state at the time. A classic album through and through.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
May 03 2023

Amazing soul album. Isaac Hayes had an outstanding voice which made the title even more fitting to the whole album experience.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 10 2023

Really good album that opens with possibly one of the best guitar performances ever recorded. The rest of the album is still pretty good but pales in comparison.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
May 13 2023

Dolly Parton is a national treasure and this album proves it. While I'm not much of country fan I really like this album. Dolly's storytelling is stellar same as her vocal chops.

So by Peter Gabriel
May 14 2023

Great pop album. 80's were a very mixed bag when it comes to popular music but this album for sure is a winner. It's just very solid throughout and while not every song is a bona fide hit, none of them are actively pulling the album down.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
May 25 2023

This album is very much just alright. Ace of Spades is a great single and if you've heard it you've heard the entire album honestly. The entire album sounds very similar and there's barely any differences between the songs. I'm not saying it's a bad thing but in my eyes this makes this album just fine.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 12 2023

Great album, very pleasant to listen to. Great arrangements of some real classic standards with very interesting vocal interpretations by Willie Nelson.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Jun 26 2023

Truly amazing eclectic art pop album from one and only Kate Bush. It's really hard to describe this album as Kate Bush has her own distinct style and this might be the most uncompromised an album of hers ever was.

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 04 2023

The album is alright. A little more pop oriented radio friendly album than the other albums from the "holy trinity" of shoegaze. The reason why I love this genre is the rich soundscapes which are a little lacking here hence I'm not as much of a fan. Also the vocals were pretty meh and those are pretty important for a shoegaze record.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jul 31 2023

It's good but far from something I would enjoy returning to. Gets samey pretty quickly for me but I'm not really a fan of country so there's that.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Aug 15 2023

If you look up psychedelia in an encyclopaedia you'll find this album as an example. It's positively weird in a way only early psychodelia can be. Overall I'd say it's pretty good as a novelty kind of thing rather than an album in a constant rotation.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Aug 26 2023

Peak Dylan. Great storytelling, solid melodies, mesmerising vocals. What else to say, it's a classic.

Aug 31 2023

Quite an interesting album. Bill Callahan has an enormous presence thanks to his incredible voice telling tales of wonder on this album. Pretty nifty singer-songwriter album overall.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 06 2023

A true masterpiece through and through. One of the best albums of 2010's, one of the best rap albums, Kendrick's magnum opus. Everything here is amazing, the lyrics, the flows, the beats, it's all just great. What else is there to say about this album that's not been said before?
