Popular Reviews

The Clash by The Clash

This is the music I don't mind listening to between the music I want to listen to.

The Blueprint by JAY Z

Didn't seem genuine. I would describe it as the panhandler who drives home in his Mercedes. Music was very good, it just fell about whenever Jay Z opened his mouth.

Kimono My House by Sparks

Music not too bad. Vocals suck more than my shop vac

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen

My favorite album so far. The fact that this was in response to 9/11 is impressive. The songs were honest in dealing with the complicated emotions from that event. Not like some other music, say from Toby Keith which was just "America F' YA!"

Jan 20 2021

Gave me a headache. I guess I am not into experimentation. Or narcotics.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jan 22 2021

Led Zeppelin takes me back to being a Freshman in HS. I had the phase of wearing the black t-shirts with the logos/album art on them. When Led Zeppelin is good, they are very good. When they are not good, it is almost bad to me. Many good songs on this album, but some duds as well.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 25 2021

Yeah, not for me. This was music that is played somewhere I don't want to be. I hung in there tracks 1-5, but good Christmas track six! Running dry should not be allowed to be played during a pandemic. I skipped that one. What little I listened to of track six sucked all my willingness to finish a 10 minute track seven. I just can't do it.

Faith by George Michael
Jan 26 2021

Didn't care for this too much. One thing which did suprise me was George's voice is pretty good, and would probably be better if backed by different music, and not the 80s synth.

Be by Common
Jan 27 2021

Rap usually isn't for me. I have a difficult time relating to the lyrics, my experience typically doesn't match with theirs. I end up judging rap by the how the music and vocals combine. This was a pretty good album. I have heard of Common, but never listened.

Jan 28 2021

Better than the 80s album earlier. I think he is good singer, but he was searching to find the right way to express himself. One track (Waiting for that Day) stood out as being a pretty good song, the Freedom! '90 is better than average, but the rest of the album was pretty average to me.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Jan 29 2021

Not bad. Good background music. Seems like ancient ancestor of Blue Man Group.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Feb 01 2021

Didn't finish. Not really in the mood to hear something quite this...industrial. Can understand the appeal to people.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 02 2021

Not much to say. Liked it.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Feb 03 2021

Really enjoyed the first album. Sounds a lot like ZZ Top. Couldn't really get to the second album. The heavy guitar and drums just was relentless.

The Clash by The Clash
Feb 04 2021

This is the music I don't mind listening to between the music I want to listen to.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Feb 05 2021

Didn't seem genuine. I would describe it as the panhandler who drives home in his Mercedes. Music was very good, it just fell about whenever Jay Z opened his mouth.

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 09 2021

OK. Just OK

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Feb 10 2021

liked a lot of it, but some if the slower songs just were snooze fest.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 11 2021

Music to help the blood pressure...

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 15 2021

Good background music. Usually not in the mood for something quite as mellow.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 16 2021

Did not like...not sure why. Reminded me of rejected songs from the Forrest Gump soundtrack for some reason.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Feb 18 2021

Not too bad

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 19 2021

Meh, George Michael was better

Technique by New Order
Feb 22 2021

This is the 80s stuff that is familiar

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 23 2021

My favorite album so far. The fact that this was in response to 9/11 is impressive. The songs were honest in dealing with the complicated emotions from that event. Not like some other music, say from Toby Keith which was just "America F' YA!"

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 24 2021

Track one - Roadhouse Blues was great, loved the combination of the blues with the Doors sound. Track four - Peace Frog good into guitar rift someone mentioned Nirvana and you can hear a connection. The rest was forgettable.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 25 2021

Not as consistently good as The Rising, although it has perhaps my favorite Springsteen song, Born to Run.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Feb 26 2021

Kind of fun. Like cruise ship entertainment, but with some talent.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 01 2021

I can appreciate the talent, not into the apparent experimentation that was this album

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 08 2021

Better than I remembered.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 09 2021

Well polished lounge singing

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Mar 15 2021

Hit the spot on a Friday morning.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Mar 17 2021

They did more than Jump Around? Funny, didn't sound like it...

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 23 2021

Was looking forward to this, not as good as I remembered.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Mar 24 2021

That was 11 herbs and spices of fun music. To get in on the DKRS (Dave Kendrick Rating Scale, patent pending) I give it 4 original recipes

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Apr 13 2021

Just didnt work for me

Kimono My House by Sparks
May 13 2021

Music not too bad. Vocals suck more than my shop vac

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
May 27 2021

Did quite get through the album, but suprisingly liked a lot of it.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 02 2021
Kid A by Radiohead

School's Out by Alice Cooper

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 30 2022

Every song sounded the same. So much for that 80s nostalgia

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Sep 21 2022

Fun stuff, got repetitive. Am always amazed at older albums. They have 12 songs and are only 25minutes long.
