Popular Reviews

Dirty by Sonic Youth

No. I can't understand why you would learn how to play an instrument to turn around and make shit like this. I want to sue them.

Dummy by Portishead

This is what music is supposed to be. Beautifully composed, edited and sung. I can see how this was the springboard for trip-hop and I thoroughly enjoyed the sampling. Overall, this is nearly a perfect album.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

This album is amazing! I can't believe how great Stevie Wonder's music is. What a genius. I can see all the influences he's had on musicians.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 14 2021

Loved the music. Not a huge fan of the lyrics, if you can consider them that. But damn is the music technical and awesome.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 15 2021

The beauty of this album is layered in music and lyrics, however, the lyrics are damaged by Mitchell's vocal reach and the music at times does not seem to support the lyrics, and is simply a light exercise in composing. I don't think the music supported or enhanced the music and was simply a backdrop. Not bad though for someone who wrote the music and lyrics to the entire album herself.

Jan 18 2021

Um, wtf. That was horrible. If I didn't already hate Sofia Coppola films, I would now. How is that in the 1,001 albums to listen to, unless music is really bad. What is happening in the world?!

Jan 19 2021

The album(s) had some fantastic songs, but also many songs felt experimental. I think that's ok for maybe one or two songs, or a mixtape, but for a studio album, you really have to already be a fan of the band to not be thrown off by experimental songs like this. Andre 3000 is not a singer, btw.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 20 2021

Mad jams! I can't believe how many hits this album had. For Grunge music, this is probably top 3. Wow, well done.

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jan 21 2021

Music was enjoyable. K.D. Lang has a nice smooth voice, and I'd listen to her again. Not really my style, but was nice background music.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jan 22 2021

I have no idea what's going on. But this sounds like it was a banger in the 80s. Good for her?

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 25 2021

Fun album with a lot of great songs. And some Jam Band stuff too. Very pleasing.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 26 2021

This album is amazing! I can't believe how great Stevie Wonder's music is. What a genius. I can see all the influences he's had on musicians.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jan 27 2021

Um, nah. I'm not listening to this. Too metal for me man. It does make me want to listen to the Arctic Monkeys though, so here I go!

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jan 28 2021

No. I can't understand why you would learn how to play an instrument to turn around and make shit like this. I want to sue them.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Feb 01 2021

Stevie Wonder is one of the most talented musicians I have ever heard. I'm grateful for this list solely on the fact that I was introduced to his music. Thank you!

Dummy by Portishead
Feb 02 2021

This is what music is supposed to be. Beautifully composed, edited and sung. I can see how this was the springboard for trip-hop and I thoroughly enjoyed the sampling. Overall, this is nearly a perfect album.

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 03 2021

For an album that was barely a half-hour long, it was pretty good. I don't feel like I know the band any more than I did before listening, but I enjoyed it.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 04 2021

Great guitar. Album was ok. I don't think Hendrix was a complete composer, so it felt very one-sided.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 05 2021

Not really for me, but the music was good.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Feb 08 2021

Johnny Cash is the real deal. This is one of the coolest albums I've ever listened to. I love the crowd work, and you can tell he was playing for each individual in that room. Great great great work!

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Feb 09 2021

Dope. I don't think I've ever listened to a Blues album before, but to start with the best was a treat. I hope to hear a lot more blues in the future.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Feb 10 2021

Can I give something zero stars? No, I'm just kidding, it wasn't that bad. It felt like Ross made an entire album with his soundscapes. Not my style, but to each his own.

Kenya by Machito
Feb 11 2021

Alright. Great background music.

Feb 12 2021

As good as I remember. They can play the shit out of some music!

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 15 2021

Pretty good soul? album. Very nice voice, and enjoyable to listle to.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Feb 16 2021

The music was fine, just a little slow for my taste.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Feb 23 2021

Great music for a one-man show. I didn't realize Kravitz was so soft rock when he started. I feel bad only knowing him for his amazing cover. He's a great writer.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Feb 24 2021

I can't listen to this.

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 09 2021

I thought the production was pretty good, but overall, the lyrics didn't speak to me, and it felt like an exercise in speed rapping. More is not better, especially if what you're saying is mostly meaningless.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Mar 17 2021

Production value was better. Still don't care for the music. Joni Mitchell does not speak to me.

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 18 2021

Some great songs. Double album way too long to appreciate. First half was boss

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 19 2021

Fine. Not for me.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 25 2021

Music was great. I think Steely Dan and I are on different wavelengths lyrically, but kudos for the champ record.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Mar 29 2021

Great album. Didn't know two goofy-ass looking dudes could drop such great music. Excellent, fun rock-n-roll, the way it's meant to be played.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Apr 01 2021

Really not my kind of music. I only understood the lyrics to one song, and I didn't really care for it.
