Popular Reviews

Tidal

Fiona Apple

4/5

When I was a little girl first hearing this album I was like “geez she’s angry” Grown woman Jordan gets it though

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

1/5

Annoying bar music.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

2/5

I think I most like the one where he’s actively trying to bang a woman that's dancing with a man she seems to be both in love with and married to.

Think of the Pogues, but not cool.

Wish You Were Here

Pink Floyd

5/5

I’ve only ever heard radio edits of these songs, and album is much better than I thought it’d be.

Iron Maiden

3/5

I’ve listened to tons of bands that have named Maiden as an influence, and have never listened to them myself. It was like I knew what was going to happen next every step of the way. Also, Tenacious D could easily re-record this album and I don’t think anyone would notice.

The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

Lauryn Hill

5/5

Lauryn Hill is the greatest female hip-hop artist of all time, and she shows her range and how powerful her voice is all over this album. So many tracks could have and should have been released as singles, it made me wonder why they weren’t. The classroom chatter between tracks was a nice touch, cementing the overall idea of the album, and also serving as a buffer between wildly different sounding songs.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

4/5

Led Zeppelin

4/5

“Zeppelin Rules!” - Otto Mann

Fishscale

Ghostface Killah

4/5

This is a great album from start to finish. Ghostface is always great, and this is hands-down his best album.

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

2/5

I think I most like the one where he’s actively trying to bang a woman that's dancing with a man she seems to be both in love with and married to.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

This album is amazing. Now I really want to read the book you suggested John!

Space Ritual

Hawkwind

2/5

Marijuana helped greatly with the enjoyment of this album, probably helped with the recording of it as well. If you like this, I recommend giving King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard a listen.

Suzanne Vega

1/5

Meh.

Snivilisation

Orbital

1/5

None for me thanks.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

5/5

Real Life

Magazine

4/5

I will listen to this again. Except that one song. You know which one...

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back

Public Enemy

5/5

So much great sampling from a much different time in the music industry. This album marks one of the many peaks of hip hop.

Tea for the Tillerman

Cat Stevens

5/5

Chefs kiss emoji

Cross

Justice

1/5

I tried to give this a chance, but it was terrible.

Illinois

Sufjan Stevens

5/5

Love this album, specifically Chicago, feel the illinoise!, and Casimir Pulaski day. The experimental nature and samples feel intimately eccentric, like reading a journal.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

4/5

I liked this, I suspect recently watching SOUL may have influenced my decision.

Timeless

Goldie

1/5

You might remember his full mouth of gold teeth from such films as ‘Snatch’ and ‘The World is Not Enough’

The Marshall Mathers LP

Eminem

3/5

It’s good and some parts are very funny, but it’s so fucking hateful.

Funeral

Arcade Fire

4/5

Takes me back to Ontario! Rebellion lies is still fun.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

4/5

If Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson made a movie together, this would be the soundtrack.

Cut

The Slits

4/5

I thought L7 was the original merry prankster all girl band but credit to the Slits! Loved "shoplifting". They sound like a less manufactured version of the Clash.

Clube Da Esquina

Milton Nascimento

4/5

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

1/5

Think of the Pogues, but not cool.

Harvest

Neil Young

5/5

Heart of gold!! Old man!!!

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
