Popular Reviews

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello

Really like the album, both songs I knew and loved, and others that I had never heard before. To this point, this is my highest rated album.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel

Don't hate it, just don't care and have heard some of these songs too many time in 55 years

In Rainbows by Radiohead

My first experience with Radiohead. I want to hear more, but I think I did them. This album wasn't distinctive enough to really capture my attention the whole time, but the music was good. I'll be back for more

Had a terrible time getting this to play in Spotify, and finally got a couple individual songs to play on it. Hated both.

All Ratings (776)

Vespertine by Björk
Jan 13 2021

Not really my thing, but that's why I started this -- to hear stuff that may not be my thing. I like her voice, but the music is a little moody for me. Kind of reminds me of Enya, more background music for a nap in my world than anything else.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 14 2021

More my kind of thing than Bjork (yesterday's album). I know SP are regarded very highly, but it must be over my head. I like it just fine, but don't see the greatness. After a while, some of the songs started sounding the same to me. I feel like the drums are often too heavy. I will say, I love Disarm, especially the acoustic version (track 17)

Forever Changes by Love
Jan 15 2021

Didn't do too much for me... Kind of reminded me of the Lovin Spoonful. Very bland, easy listening stuff. I did like some of the orchestral stuff they added, and thought it added to the experience that was otherwise pretty boring. I looked up the album on Wikipedia and there are those who consider it one of the best records ever, not sure why.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jan 18 2021

This is more my speed, though I have never really sought out Zeppelin much. I did notice that I put it on that then worked and it is so much in my wheelhouse that I hardly noticed it and then it was over. I started it up again and paid more attention. Like I said, never really sought them out, so not my favorite, but I did like the strings they integrate into a lot of their songs.

Jan 19 2021

Enjoyed this album. I've heard a couple of the songs, but was not aware of or have listened to the entire album. Love Queen's harmonies. It did occur to me listening to it, that a lot of their stuff is reminiscent of show tunes, don't know if that was in their roots, but it feels like it.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jan 21 2021

I like the sound of this group and this album in spite of the creepy album cover. Added Eeels to my Spotify library.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Jan 22 2021

Really weird, but it did have aspects that I liked. I ended up, after listening to the album, to go listen to the only Dr. John song I know (Right Place Wrong Time) and have been listening to Dr, John all morning, so I like Dr. John, just not that fired up about Gris-Gris.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 25 2021

It was fine, I like the Stones, but in my old age have heard enough of them. I did like hearing some songs I have never heard before.

Jan 26 2021

I'm not really a rap guy, so this is not in my wheelhouse. That said, I did sort of like it, at least some of it, mostly because it made me laugh. Don't Believe the Hype was my favorite. I've just seen Flavor Flave as a clown of sorts, and it was interesting to hear his stuff. I did think the contstant self-references were kind of dumb.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jan 27 2021

Beginning of the first song made me think of Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer... Never got into it at all.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 28 2021

Damaged is what my ears were after listening to 5 tracks of this. No thanks.

1977 by Ash
Jan 29 2021

Very middle of the road for me... I like the style okay, but it wasn't very distinct. Fell into the background for me

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Feb 01 2021

Very middle of the road for me... I like the style okay, but it wasn't very distinct. Fell into the background for me. Good music to nap to.

Feb 02 2021

I did like the first track for some reason, but not much use for the rest of it. I played it twice while working and it was not distinctive enough to keep my attention.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 03 2021

Not bad, really. Very easy listening, I like their voices, and overall, this was pretty all right.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Feb 04 2021

I liked this album. I've heard Zep a million times but paid closer attention when listening to this album. Really clean rock band, and several songs I really like. Plant's singing can get a little monotonous, but all in all, I liked this.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Feb 05 2021

First impression (first song) makes me think of Fatboy Slim. Very produced, very repetitive. Things didn't change after that. I didn't hate everything about this, but the repetitiveness wore me out and I got tired of it. Tried out every song, but didn't listen to each one entirely.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 08 2021

I know the song, Tusk, and I kind of like it, so I figured I knew this album. Aside from that song, I didn't know any of it, and the album as a whole is mostly a bore.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 09 2021

In general, this is my kind of thing, I love this style of music. This album was less upbeat than I like it, though, so not my favorite. I will hunt down some more Al Green, though.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Feb 10 2021

I love Earth, Wind & Fire and was glad to see this album show up the day after Al Green. The album was just okay, though, I really only like a couple of the songs, and most of the rest are slow and boring like the Al Green stuff yesterday

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 12 2021

Have heard that this album is so well liked by so many different types of people. I don't really see the greatness in this, but do find some of it catchy and a lot of it amuses me. I think these guys have a good sense of humor and it comes through in the music. The samplings of different things in songs are like Easter Eggs that make it more fun to listen to.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 15 2021

My first experience with Radiohead. I want to hear more, but I think I did them. This album wasn't distinctive enough to really capture my attention the whole time, but the music was good. I'll be back for more

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Feb 16 2021

Listened to 2 songs, just don't care. Nothing there to like. This is my least favorite among all albums so far

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Feb 17 2021

This was just okay, really my kind of thing, but it didn't grab me

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 18 2021

In general, I'm a Who fan. This was fine, a little rambling at times it felt like, and not a ton of my faves from them.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 19 2021

Love Foo Fighters. This isn't my favorite of their albums, but I enjoyed listening to it

Synchronicity by The Police
Feb 22 2021

Just a casual Police fan here. I liked Ghost in the Machine better, this album is a bit weird for me.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 23 2021

Really like the album, both songs I knew and loved, and others that I had never heard before. To this point, this is my highest rated album.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 24 2021

I enjoyed his voice at time, and also the instrumentation -- at times. The style is not my thing, and I was mostly uninterested

2112 by Rush
Feb 25 2021

In general, I dig Rush, though I don't seek them out (maybe I should). I like their sound and their precise phrasing and musicality. Getty Lee, after a while, gets to me, though, so listening to this whole album got to be a bit much.

Feb 26 2021

Had a terrible time getting this to play in Spotify, and finally got a couple individual songs to play on it. Hated both.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Mar 01 2021

Pleasant background music for a party, but not terribly compelling. Smooth jazz feel.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 02 2021

Love Stevie Wonder and this album has several favorites (Sir Duke especially).

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 03 2021

Stevie Wonder two days in a row, weird. I don't like this album as much as Songs in the Key of Life, but Superstition is one of my favorite songs of his.

Homework by Daft Punk
Mar 04 2021

Not interested. So repetitive

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Mar 05 2021

This was actually kind of interesting, so it blew Daft Punk away in that regard.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Mar 08 2021

I'm cool with Neil Young, not a massive fan. This was fine, but nothing that really got me going

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Mar 09 2021

Have always loved Sultans of Swing, but never really listened to a lot of DS. Love the guitar work here, it's really great and relaxing to listen to.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 10 2021

As repetitive as Daft Punk, but far more musical. Still, not really my cup of tea

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Mar 11 2021

Am behind. Listened to some of this, but it was doing nothing for me.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Mar 12 2021

I've not heard many of these songs from Prince before, but do like a lot of this.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 16 2021

I liked this better than the other Talking Heads album I have listened to. Less repetitive with the same musicality

Closer by Joy Division
Mar 17 2021

Was never really able to get into this, and ended up ignoring much of it

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Mar 18 2021

Maybe my favorite album since starting this. A couple old favorites and I enjoyed the songs that I have not heard before.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Mar 19 2021

Nice voice, I also liked the background singers, but not really my cup of tea. Reminded me of the Lion King broadway show.

Faith by George Michael
Mar 23 2021

It was all right, not my main cup of tea, but many familiar songs

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Mar 24 2021

I had never heard of Morrissey, but did kind of like this.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Mar 25 2021

This would be good to take a nap to in spite of not really being my cup of tea. It's got that repetitive nature that I don't really dig that much, but I do like the volcalist's voice and there is some good musicality there

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Mar 26 2021

It's all right. I like the piano in it occasionally. Couple songs I know.

S&M by Metallica
Mar 30 2021

I saved the album to my library in Spotify because I want to listen again. Good musicianship and I love the hard rock with a symphonic backdrop

Mar 31 2021

I'm okay with the music, but the dark imagery got old pretty quick. Not really my cup of tea

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 12 2021

This didn't jump out at me as much as I had hoped, but I do like Elvis and will listen again

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Apr 13 2021

Love trumpet, but this isn't my fave style

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Apr 15 2021

This wasn't terrible, but her voice did get to me after a while.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 22 2021
Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 23 2021
Apr 27 2021

I'm not necessarily the biggest LS fan in the world, but this is the best album with the most iconic songs I have listened to so far.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Apr 28 2021

Surprisingly enough, I liked some of this

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 03 2021
Parachutes by Coldplay
May 05 2021

Not offensive, mostly just background noise

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 07 2021

I like the guy's voice and the instrumentation, but this is not at all catchy

LP1 by FKA twigs
May 18 2021
Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 08 2021

Don't hate it, just don't care and have heard some of these songs too many time in 55 years

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jul 13 2021

boring

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
