Popular Reviews

Low by David Bowie

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 by Nico

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

Superunknown by Soundgarden

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

Sex Packets by Digital Underground

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

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

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

1-Star Albums (9)

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 13 2021

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.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 15 2021

Weird and bad... and weird

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 19 2021

Better than I thought. Pretty classic.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jan 20 2021

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.”

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 22 2021

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

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jan 25 2021

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

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 26 2021

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 by Circle Jerks
Jan 27 2021

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

Play by Moby
Jan 28 2021

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 by The Divine Comedy
Jan 29 2021
Different Class by Pulp
Feb 01 2021

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

Feb 02 2021

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 by Khaled
Feb 03 2021

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

Feb 04 2021

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 by Japan
Feb 05 2021

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 by Elvis Presley
Feb 08 2021

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

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Feb 09 2021

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 by Nirvana
Feb 10 2021

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 by David Bowie
Feb 11 2021

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 by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 12 2021

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 by Elvis Costello
Feb 15 2021

Ok album. Not a huge fan.

Hotel California by Eagles
Feb 16 2021

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 by The Byrds
Feb 17 2021

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.

Feb 18 2021

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

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 19 2021

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.

Marquee Moon by Television
Feb 23 2021

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

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 24 2021

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 by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 25 2021

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 by Frank Zappa
Feb 26 2021

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 by Nick Drake
Mar 01 2021

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.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 03 2021

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 by Beatles
Mar 04 2021

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 by Bill Evans Trio
Mar 05 2021

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 by A Tribe Called Quest
Mar 08 2021

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 by Nick Drake
Mar 09 2021

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 by Morrissey
Mar 10 2021

Not a huge Morrissey fan, but its ok.

xx by The xx
Mar 11 2021

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

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 12 2021

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 by Fats Domino
Mar 15 2021

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 by Van Morrison
Mar 16 2021

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.

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 18 2021

I liked the album but didn't love it.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 19 2021

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

Fun House by The Stooges
Mar 22 2021

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

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Mar 23 2021

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 by Manic Street Preachers
Mar 24 2021

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 by Rage Against The Machine
Mar 25 2021

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

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 26 2021

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

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 29 2021

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

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Mar 31 2021

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

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Apr 02 2021

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

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Apr 05 2021

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

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 08 2021

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

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 09 2021

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

Bossanova by Pixies
Apr 12 2021

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

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Apr 13 2021

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

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Apr 14 2021

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

Berlin by Lou Reed
Apr 15 2021

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

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 16 2021

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 by Dr. John
Apr 19 2021

Not for me.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Apr 20 2021

Beautiful

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 21 2021

Always dig the uniqueness.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Apr 22 2021

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

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 23 2021

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.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Apr 27 2021

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

OK Computer by Radiohead
Apr 28 2021

Big fan and really like this album.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 19 2021

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 by Isaac Hayes
May 27 2021

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)

Fragile by Yes
Jun 01 2021

Pretty good

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jun 02 2021

No likey

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jun 03 2021

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

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jun 04 2021

I liek the folksy irish vibe and a pretty incredible voice

Garbage by Garbage
Jun 08 2021

Good album. Are their hits actually their worst songs?

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

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

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jun 10 2021

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

Truth by Jeff Beck
Jun 11 2021

Really fun with lots of collabs.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jun 23 2021

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.

Destroyer by KISS
Jul 06 2021

KISS is not for me. Trite.

The Doors by The Doors
Jul 07 2021

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

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 12 2021

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

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jul 15 2021

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

One World by John Martyn
Jul 29 2021

Not great

Metallica by Metallica
Aug 09 2021

One of the best albums ever

Abbey Road by Beatles
Sep 01 2021

Great album... classic

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Sep 02 2021

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 by Michael Jackson
Sep 03 2021

Not MJs best but a good album

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Sep 06 2021

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 by Run-D.M.C.
Sep 07 2021

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 by Aerosmith
Sep 08 2021

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 by M.I.A.
Sep 09 2021

Great album. Love MIA

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Sep 13 2021

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

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Sep 22 2021

Never heard of this band before listening here. not great

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Sep 23 2021

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

Blur by Blur
Mar 21 2022

Couple of decent songs
