Popular Reviews

Low

David Bowie

2/5

I love Bowie but for me this was too dramatic and artsy with too many random sounds and instruments. It's risky, I just didn't like it that much.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

It's painful, in so many ways. It goes beyond interesting and weird into the awful.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

Soundgarden was my favorite of the grunge bands because of Chris Cornell (RIP) and his ridiculous vocals. Hits hard all around. Love it.

Ill Communication

Beastie Boys

5/5

One of the great rap groups and albums of all time. Ageless...

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

5/5

One of my favorite rap albums of all time. Uniquely entertaining with a funny flow. Also responsible for helping to launch the career of Tupac. RIP Tupac and Shock G

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

All Ratings

Illmatic

Nas

5/5

Probably a top 10 rap album all time. Nas is one of the great storytellers and wordsmiths of rap with a buttery smooth flow. Love this album.

With The Beatles

Beatles

4/5

Solid/classic

Scott 4

Scott Walker

1/5

Weird and bad... and weird

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

3/5

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Better than I thought. Pretty classic.

Among The Living

Anthrax

4/5

Tasty thrash metal treat if you need a punch in the face, and today I needed one. Guitarist Scott Ian described this album as... “It really felt like we were being guided by the power of metal and it was out of our hands. Satan was channeling his will through us and we couldn’t help but succeed.”

Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols

4/5

I dig it... classic

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I'm a big fan of Neil Young. Pretty cool folk, country and rock mix. Relaxing vibes.

Pretenders

4/5

Super original album/sound. I'm also a sucker for chicks that wail.

Made In Japan

Deep Purple

3/5

Good album. Started off strong and I was into it with its powerful guitar and drums. For me it just started getting a little annoying about 5 songs in with every song just dragging on. Maybe I needed to be high.

Group Sex

Circle Jerks

4/5

It's loud and gritty. Punk isn't my favorite genre but I can appreciate this album.

Play

Moby

1/5

Not really something I'm going to listen to on purpose ever. There are some snippets of soul/blues with decent beats/samples, but all and all there isn't a lot of substance. I'll never understand people's fascination with Moby.

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

2/5

Different Class

Pulp

1/5

I guess the only thing worse than American pop is British pop?

Emergency On Planet Earth

Jamiroquai

3/5

I like it, don't love it. It's unique and there's a pretty good vibe but wouldn't make my regular rotation.

Kenza

Khaled

1/5

Umm... I guess I can appreciate that others from different cultures enjoy the wailing pop of Khaled. Not for me at all.

Mama Said Knock You Out

LL Cool J

3/5

No one of the great rap artists in my opinion, and not one of the greatest albums. This is actually LL's last good album.

Quiet Life

Japan

3/5

Pre Duran Duran influencer. I liked the album. Although it won't be a part of the regular rotation, I'm glad I listened.

Elvis Is Back

Elvis Presley

3/5

Not his best album, but pretty good and easy to appreciate. Not necessarily my jam, but I liked it.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

I'm a big fan of Johnny Cash. His first performance at a prison was in 1957 and I'm guessing he was one of the first musicians to do that on the regular. Great road trip music.

In Utero

Nirvana

4/5

Three or four classic Nirvana songs. I really enjoyed this album back in the day and I still enjoy it now. Not as gritty as their first album, but great nonetheless.

Low

David Bowie

2/5

I love Bowie but for me this was too dramatic and artsy with too many random sounds and instruments. It's risky, I just didn't like it that much.

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

America, Mrs. Robinson and A Hazy Shade of Winter are amazing songs. Definitely some weird stuff in the album as well like Voices of Old People. Overall, I liked the album.

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

2/5

Ok album. Not a huge fan.

Hotel California

Eagles

3/5

This is one of the first albums I recall as a kid. There isn't a lot of depth but it's pretty good for just chilling. It'll never make my regular rotation, but I like it and how it takes me back to the 70s as a kid.

Mr. Tambourine Man

The Byrds

3/5

Dripping in 60s everything. I saw a write up that said they were inspire by The Beatles and Bob Dylan. I also didn't remember David Crosby as a part of this band. I liked the album.

Music For The Jilted Generation

The Prodigy

2/5

It was ok. I actually liked several of the beats... but just instrumentals/beats are never going to do it for me.

Tusk

Fleetwood Mac

3/5

It's not my favorite Fleetwood Mac, but I like it. It's a little experimental and varies a bit from Rumours, but it's relaxing.

(What's The Story) Morning Glory

Oasis

2/5

Not my bag baby

Marquee Moon

Television

4/5

Really like this album. Lead singer reminds me a little of the lead singer from Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah.

Stardust

Willie Nelson

3/5

I read this album was recorded in 9 days. I'm not a huge Willie fan, but this is pretty good although a little dull.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

4/5

I think I like their self-titled album the best, their first album, but this is a good one. The Chain might be my favorite song of theirs.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

2/5

6 songs of weirdness. Willie the Pimp is kinda fun. Other than that there's lots of instrumentals with some pretty cool guitar. Not great but not the worst either.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

4/5

Did not remember this artist but I had heard at least one of the songs. I really liked it and it will become part of my rotation. Unique voice, and peaceful guitar.

Virgin Suicides

Air

2/5

Sunshine Superman

Donovan

3/5

Pretty trippy album. Sunshine Superman may have been the only song I knew beforehand. This will not be a part of the regular rotation nut I enjoyed it. Trippy, weird, fun.

A Hard Day's Night

Beatles

5/5

Not their best, but a great album. It's crazy to know that all of their albums came over just a 7 year period. Lots of familiar songs you can listen to over and over again.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

2/5

Jazz isn't really for me. Like black licorice, I can appreciate it exists and others like it, but I probably never will.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

One of my favorite rap albums ever, and my favorite by ATCQ. About as close to a perfect rap album as you can get. I love ATCQ.

Bryter Layter

Nick Drake

4/5

I really enjoyed this album. I'd heard at least one of the songs before but had no idea who this artist was. Unique voice and guitar. Relaxing.

Your Arsenal

Morrissey

3/5

Not a huge Morrissey fan, but its ok.

The xx

3/5

Good album. Minimal beats and vocals that are really clean.

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

4/5

Lots of songs, lots of soul. I've never listened to this whole album before but knew a lot of the songs. I really like Stevie Wonder and this album is great.

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

3/5

Great voice, super old style of music that doesn't do it for me now. Historic influencer of Elvis and many others... just not my speed today.

Astral Weeks

Van Morrison

2/5

Short album that's definitely unique. Some experimental jazz in the background doesn't help me like the album despite me liking Van Morrison in general. Sweet thing is a good song but most of the album is a miss for me.

Spy Vs. Spy: The Music Of Ornette Coleman

John Zorn

1/5

Pretty much hated it. Jazz kinda stinks.

The Yes Album

Yes

3/5

I liked the album but didn't love it.

Actually

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Unique sound... reminds me a little of Cake on some songs

Fun House

The Stooges

4/5

Short album that kinda rips. Love the grit and the power.

Coles Corner

Richard Hawley

1/5

Not a at all for me... actually might be my least favorite kind of music after country. It's chill but not my kind of chill.

The Holy Bible

Manic Street Preachers

3/5

I hadn't heard of these guys prior to listening today. There was a lot to like and a lot not to like. I liked the sound a lot more than the bleak, pissed off lyrics.

Rage Against The Machine

5/5

Yessss!!!!! One of my favorite bands/sounds/albums of all time. Kicks you in the balls and you still want more.

Joan Baez

2/5

Clearly has a pretty voice... but the hummingbird droning at the end of each note gets old.

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

3/5

Not my favorite Bowie, but Panic in Detroit is a great song. Good listen.

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

3/5

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

Soundgarden was my favorite of the grunge bands because of Chris Cornell (RIP) and his ridiculous vocals. Hits hard all around. Love it.

The Sounds Of India

Ravi Shankar

1/5

Clearly some talent but not my vibe.

Brutal Youth

Elvis Costello

2/5

Just can't really stand Costello's voice... tough listen for me. Some of the lyrics are quite good but that voice... ugh.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

O-V-E-R-R-A-T-E-D <CLAP> <CLAP> <CLAP> <CLAP> <CLAP>

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5

So good. Some of the best road trip music of all time. Chillest of the chill.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash

The Pogues

3/5

Kinda fun. Uniquely folksy.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

Short album that gets to the point. Great road trip jam. Easy to groove to.

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Great album. Probably one of the best ever. Tough to beat Jimi's guitar and overall sound. Will never get old.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

I liked it... starting to appreciate the Pixies more and more.

Black Monk Time

The Monks

3/5

Definitely unique. Definitely kinda weird. Experimental. I liked it ok.

Honky Tonk Heroes

Waylon Jennings

2/5

Country isn't for me but I can appreciate Waylon and his part in country music history.

Berlin

Lou Reed

2/5

Seems like a heroin riddled, disjointed, autobiographical confession set to music.

Born In The U.S.A.

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Never been a big fan but in giving it another shot I liked some of the songs that weren't his more popular ones. This album may have been peak Springsteen but it's not his best work IMO. His more recent stuff (last two albums) are actually quite good.

Gris Gris

Dr. John

2/5

Not for me.

Rapture

Anita Baker

3/5

Beautiful

Behaviour

Pet Shop Boys

3/5

Always dig the uniqueness.

Roxy Music

4/5

Great drums, great guitar, unique vocals, and uniqueness everywhere... what's not to like? Solid find for me.

Paul Simon

3/5

Paul Simon is great, but his best work was with collaborating with Garfunkel. Solid album and chill vibe. Fun video with Me and Julio Down by the School Yard with all the cameos like Spud Webb.

Dog Man Star

Suede

2/5

It's ok.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

4/5

Fun album and super creative with the fake commercials, etc. I dig it.

OK Computer

Radiohead

4/5

Big fan and really like this album.

Appetite For Destruction

Guns N' Roses

5/5

Love this album... hard to find a bad song on the whole thing. GNR at their peak and an album I need to put into the rotation.

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

3/5

What a fun soundtrack. Best line to any opening track on any album ever? Look no further than Theme from Shaft (you're damn right)

Sheet Music

10cc

3/5

Creative album

The Flaming Lips

3/5

Fragile

Yes

Some classic songs from older movies. It's ok.

Liege And Lief

Fairport Convention

3/5

I liek the folksy irish vibe and a pretty incredible voice

Eli And The Thirteenth Confession

Laura Nyro

2/5

Super soulful voice but its not my style.

Garbage

3/5

Good album. Are their hits actually their worst songs?

Live At The Regal

B.B. King

4/5

Really like this album. I wish I was a bigger fan of the blues, but this is pretty solid.

Chelsea Girl

Nico

1/5

It's painful, in so many ways. It goes beyond interesting and weird into the awful.

Truth

Jeff Beck

3/5

Really fun with lots of collabs.

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

David Bowie

4/5

Deliciously refreshing. My favorite Bowie.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

4/5

Our Lips Are Sealed is surprisingly solid lyrically for a pop song. I liked the album more than I thought I would and only knew their two hits prior to listening.

(Pronounced 'Leh-'Nérd 'Skin-'Nérd)

Lynyrd Skynyrd

4/5

Gritty, raw, and delightful

Destroyer

KISS

2/5

KISS is not for me. Trite.

The Doors

5/5

Unique sound and lyrics... one of my favorite bands of all time. Wish the ride could've lasted longer with Morrison.

Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'Arby

Terence Trent D'Arby

2/5

Pretty good

Who's Next

The Who

3/5

Pretty solid; wont become part of the regular rotation but a good album

Walking Wounded

Everything But The Girl

1/5

Painful

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

2/5

Its ok

Arc Of A Diver

Steve Winwood

3/5

I knew some of the songs and liked it better than I thought I would

One World

John Martyn

2/5

Not great

Metallica

5/5

One of the best albums ever

Abbey Road

Beatles

5/5

Great album... classic

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

5/5

One of my favorite rap albums of all time. Uniquely entertaining with a funny flow. Also responsible for helping to launch the career of Tupac. RIP Tupac and Shock G

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

3/5

Not MJs best but a good album

Deep Purple In Rock

Deep Purple

3/5

Pretty good album, and I get these guys were pioneers, but its the psychedelic part of their hard rock I don't really dig. Some great songs, some really bad songs.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

5/5

You can't love rap without loving RUN DMC. This album represents the best of RUN DMCs smart lyrics and seemless flow. Walk this Way may be the best Rap/Rock collaboration of all time.

Pump

Aerosmith

2/5

Is ok from a rock standpoint and you cant argue with their longevity. Their one unique attribute, however, may be their longevity. Not part of my regular rotation, but I can appreciate their success.

Kala

M.I.A.

4/5

Great album. Love MIA

Tonight's The Night

Neil Young

3/5

Pretty solid. Not my favorite Neil Young but a good album nonetheless.

Steve McQueen

Prefab Sprout

2/5

Never heard of this band before listening here. not great
