Popular Reviews

A fantastic album, from the vocals to the layered instrumentation everything fits together so well. Truly ahead of its time and certainly laid the groundwork for countless musicians to follow.

The Rise & Fall by Madness

Really like the experimentation with sounds in this album, didn't know this is what ska music was like

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

A marvelously put together concept that flows together so well. One of the most creative albums I've heard

Butterfly by Mariah Carey

The Roof Shook Ones Part II sample 🔥, otherwise a very well produced album and Mariah Carey obviously has an incredible voice. Just not the type of music for me

Be by Common
Jan 14 2021

Very good flow/lyrical content coupled with some timeless beats

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 15 2021

Very chill easy listening, can definitely see why it is regarded as so influential

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jan 18 2021

A marvelously put together concept that flows together so well. One of the most creative albums I've heard

American Pie by Don McLean
Jan 19 2021

Some solid Americana, only really liked the title track though

Jan 20 2021

Solid and classic album through and through. Dre makes some timeless beats and while the subject matter in some songs are fairly surface level it's still an enjoyable listen

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jan 21 2021

The Roof Shook Ones Part II sample 🔥, otherwise a very well produced album and Mariah Carey obviously has an incredible voice. Just not the type of music for me

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jan 22 2021

sex music sex music very funky tho

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 24 2021

some real bops throughout and just an enjoyable listen all around

Diamond Life by Sade
Jan 25 2021

Some nice tunes/sounds but not really what I'm into

Technique by New Order
Jan 26 2021

Way ahead of its time. Some great disco stuff in the second half and just a nice boppin album

Opus Dei by Laibach
Jan 27 2021

Very sonically interesting, like the backstory behind the music and think it's a cool fusion of industrial sound with some more traditional aspects of music.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 28 2021

Some really jamming stuff, great blend of bluegrass and rock and a real lively performance

Jan 29 2021

A fantastic album, from the vocals to the layered instrumentation everything fits together so well. Truly ahead of its time and certainly laid the groundwork for countless musicians to follow.

All The Young Dudes by Mott The Hoople
Jan 30 2021

An all around solid album from a band I had no idea existed, just knew the main title track. Some great production and Bowie's work on the title track was phenomenal. Certainly a band that has been relatively lost in rock history

Jan 31 2021

Some great atmospheric, grimy sounds throughout but besides Tainted Love, not a lot of stand out tracks

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Feb 01 2021

A bit of a departure from their previous albums, not as cohesive as I would like but some solid gems throughout

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Feb 02 2021

Wasn't able to listen to the whole album since it wasn't available. Nonetheless, a fun little early R&B album but nothing that really stood out to me

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Feb 03 2021

Some cool psychedelic stuff in the beginning but mostly forgettable in the second half

Feb 04 2021

Great range of sounds in here, can see why Eno was such an influential figure

Feb 05 2021

A few standout songs here and there like Waterloo Sunset, fun listen but nothing that really gripped me

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Feb 06 2021

Great big band sounds, some funny lyrics and well done mixture of english and italian influence

Feb 07 2021

Real dancey upbeat bops, while the middle blends together a bit the high points outweigh the lows

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 08 2021

One of the greatest, RIP Phife Dawg

Tommy by The Who
Feb 09 2021

Interesting narrative weaved throughout, recognized the pinball song but otherwise unfamiliar with The Who. Felt like relatively standard rock stuff, some cool sounds sprinkled throughout though.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 10 2021

A solid variety of different genres mashed together to make a distinguished soundtrack. Not sure if there is much replayability for me personally though

Spiderland by Slint
Feb 11 2021

Liked the harder elements of the album, the soft whisper bits would go on a bit too long.

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 12 2021

A classic obviously, great consistent sound and just a neato album to throw on

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Feb 13 2021

Listened to the wrong album first, nothing that really stood out to me. Good vocals I guess and a song here or there that was kind of cool to listen to but not something I'd come back to.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 14 2021

A few bops here and there but nothing I would go back to

Feb 15 2021

Great punk elements throughout, a little too free form for my tastes but can definitely appreciate the sound they were going for

No Other by Gene Clark
Feb 16 2021

Actually much preferred this to his work with the Byrds, sound felt more fleshed out and realized. Very enjoyable.

Destroyer by KISS
Feb 18 2021

Pretty generic and not really engaging, can understand the appeal and they certainly leaned into the whole notion of the band as a pure product but I'm not a fan.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 19 2021

A lot of good usage of distortion effects throughout and certainly a very distinctive voice that lends itself well to the music. Not quite what I was expecting going in but all around ok.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 20 2021

Solid rock stuff, walk on the wild side is a classic for sure

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Feb 26 2021

Really like the experimentation with sounds in this album, didn't know this is what ska music was like

Vespertine by Björk
Feb 27 2021

Very haunting voice and eclectic sounds but a little too far out there for my enjoyment

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Mar 01 2021

Good backgroundy stuff, but not my thing

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 02 2021

Good stuff but nothing that really struck me besides the hits.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Mar 03 2021

One standout track, otherwise not my thing

Timeless by Goldie
Mar 04 2021

I've learned I do not care that much for DnB/Jungle

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Mar 05 2021

Couple songs I liked, was more interested in the story behind the band but some definitely solid rock stuff throughout paired with lyrical content that was fairly unique for the time.

xx by The xx
Mar 06 2021

Nice production and vocals but most of it seemed to blend together for me.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 10 2021

Too "Hey There Delilah" for me

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 11 2021

Cool prog stuff

Dare! by The Human League
Mar 12 2021

A little too samey for me, singers voice is good but it all started to blend a little too much

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 13 2021

Great singer, too folky for me

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 14 2021

Some all around good heavy sounds, nothing to really draw me back though

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 15 2021

A lot of good variety in sounds and some killer guitar work/vocals

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 20 2021

Not as good as their other work, some good guitar work and Morrissey's vocals are great as usual but nothing really memorable besides the last song

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Mar 22 2021

Decent rock stuff, lots of songs about women, it's ok

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Mar 23 2021

Rolling stones ya know, classic songs on here of course but not my style generally

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Mar 25 2021

Good singing voice and some nice ballads

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Mar 26 2021

Interesting mix of country and rock elements, easy listening

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Mar 27 2021

Some upbeat bops, fairly jazzy stuff but no staying power for me

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Apr 02 2021

Cool and fun electronic dance music, very minimalistic

The Score by Fugees
Apr 04 2021

Classic rap shit, great production and flows

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Apr 05 2021

Entertaining southern rock with some conscious lyrical content

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Apr 25 2021

Liked the second half more than the first, good vocals and some interesting production throughout

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 27 2021

Sad radiohead noises, like Nude but overall not my favorite project of theirs
