Popular Reviews

The Clash by The Clash

They have some good songs but they're not on here, and it's all just british yelling over mediocre rock imo

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Obvi so good! And finally a strong female presence!

Dare! by The Human League

This is kinda like Devo meets Bowie imo (but with a more pop vibe), I dig it!

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 19 2021

So repetitive! Not a big fan, very proudly american and theatrical I'm on fire is p good tho, my fave

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 20 2021

Damn! Everyone kills it in this group. Ozzy is legendary obvi, guitar wails (and solos are much better than van halen imo), bass is dark and rich, and drums take it to the next level. Love NIB, love it all

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Jan 24 2021

Solid, nice n bluesy at the extremities with rock n roll center. Favorite was probably You Make Me Real, followed by Peace Frog (but what a title!)

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 26 2021

Solid, great voice and character. Wouldn't listen to it every day tho

Jan 27 2021

Pretty boring. Lots of wailing and not my fave

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 28 2021

very fun, what a difference between without you and coconut. I liked early in the morning and jump into the fire best (sick bass and drums).

Jan 30 2021

Very good, great flow. Songs were a bit long, but all bangers. Obvi faves were the hits, but You're not from Brighton was a happy surprise :)

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jan 31 2021

This was some trish trash, like wtf is this doing on the list haha

Fractured Life by Air Traffic
Feb 01 2021

Wasn't a big fan, kinda getting tired of this rock streak... I did like Empty Space and Pee Wee Martini though

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Feb 02 2021

Solid album, obvi Faves were Can't do nuttin for ya, man and war at 33 1/3

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Feb 03 2021

Pretty good and definitely better than other albums we've heard (*cough* auteurs *cough*), I liked the funky bass and blending of genres in some songs. Faves were Epic and Woodpecker from Mars

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 04 2021

Big meh, the best song was the 1st one because the guitar was nice but or else it was p boring

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Feb 06 2021

Trash, "music pour faire dodo"

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 08 2021

Very good, need to relisten to find faves but solid all around!

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 09 2021

ehhhhh not superb, some good music but like the lyrics are questionable

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 10 2021

Awesome album, love all the features and kendrick using all the voices he can fit in there. Jazz and funk fills the album with incredible sound

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 11 2021

obviously incredible guitar, listened to this bad boi with headphones and that was an experience to be sure. At some points the sound was a bit overwhelming even

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 12 2021

Very fun, solid all the way through. Nothing stood out particularly, so will need to listen again for faves

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 13 2021

I liked it a lot, very radiohead

Protection by Massive Attack
Feb 15 2021

Sooooo ambient it was pretty boring. I like their later album, despite it also being super ambient, but this was just a bit long n slow for me

Faith by George Michael
Feb 16 2021

Didn't need christian bad boy george michael in my life, still don't. Musically it works, and at some points ya it's groovin and fun, but these lyrics are nonsense and trying so hard to be a "good" bad boy. Listening to this reminds me of the book about christian sex

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 17 2021

Obvi a great musician, but this album was very monotone and super long!

1977 by Ash
Feb 18 2021

I had higher hopes for this album with the sick guitar at the beginning, but feel like it just kinda went straight to edgy rock that I wasn't as fond of

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 19 2021

I liked this one lot, it felt like classic rock and the songs come together

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Feb 21 2021

Solid album, loved Princess of the Streets! (or queen?) Quality dropped off a bit after that though, hanging around was a low point on the album

xx by The xx
Feb 22 2021

I already love this album, so still love it. Very chill, coherent, and a great duet

John Prine by John Prine
Feb 23 2021

twang twang twang i'm a country singer and I hate technology so put me back in my motel

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Feb 24 2021

Really liked it! Very jammy, fun, and I liked how many people it seemed were involved. Many songs sounded like people just walked in, grabbed an instrument, and joined the fun

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Feb 25 2021

Really wasn't feeling this one. I heard a song I liked and I looked over and the album had ended and it was on autoplay...

Infected by The The
Feb 26 2021

I liked this one quite a bit! Was expecting some heavy metal from the name, but it was chill and fun. Just short of 4 stars

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 27 2021

not bad at all, I liked that the songs weren't super long but in this case they could've been even a bit longer

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 28 2021

Dawg whaatttttt It could've been organized into songs but no just gonna continuously put random sounds in for an hour...

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Mar 01 2021

lmao what an album. So punk, so camp, great irony. Love the personality, and some of the music

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 02 2021

hmmmmmmm didn't particularly need any more paul simon... Some of it was good, he is after all a talented musician. I actually liked the alternate unreleased version of Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes but does that count if it's not really on the OG album??

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Mar 03 2021

Not a fan, this could've put me right to sleep if I wasn't actively doing something else.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 04 2021

Not bad, but pretty unspectacular and less than I was hoping for from the bee gees

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Mar 05 2021

This one was fun! I especially liked the last song, thought it was a very silly but fun premise. Would like to listen to the full album, as I only found it on youtube and some songs were unavailable :(

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 06 2021

Obvi so good! And finally a strong female presence!

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Mar 07 2021

Really liked it! kinda put it off for a bit since I was busy (and I kept trying to listen to it while writing my paper about the movie but had to keep pausing to watch the movie so I gave up) but I was pleasantly surprised! I liked the beginning of the album more than the middle/end tho, I will admit

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 08 2021

Interesting, nothing crazy for me though. Raspy voice kinda gets old imo

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 09 2021

Very good! This is what good acoustic music sounds like to me! And more women!

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 10 2021

They have some good songs but they're not on here, and it's all just british yelling over mediocre rock imo

Mar 11 2021

It was pretty good, nothing to write home about though. I liked the punk direction but thought they could've differentiated themselves a bit more with that

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Mar 12 2021

meh, not really my thing

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 13 2021

Great one! Super good music, but the lyrics were sometimes like wtf dawg

Mar 14 2021

Way more country than I expected, and the content was all so negative!

Signing Off by UB40
Mar 15 2021

Awesome, a classic imo and so chill Didn't know they were british but knowing this list it checks out

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 16 2021

a classic, obvi!

Mar 17 2021

Maybe one song held up on it's own but as a whole it was so dark and the last song really spooked me/got to my bad feelings :( Maybe goes well with the movie, but wouldn't keep it on the list. 2 stars because production was p good but boring

Debut by Björk
Mar 18 2021

First (partial) listen was meh, but 2nd listen was much better and I digged it :)

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 19 2021

The beginning had hope, was kinda like muse/radiohead with the singing but then it got way more religious (or maybe I just started paying attention to the lyrics?) and then it bumped again at the end

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Mar 20 2021

Incredible piece of music imo, great album, very cohesive for it's time 😉

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 21 2021

powerful, deep, and energetic. Super good album, but towards the end there were a bit more questionable songs

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Mar 22 2021

Some good songs, but got really weird at some points

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Mar 23 2021

Solid album, very fun and I didn't know some of these songs were even the mamas and the papas (maybe they're covers?)

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 24 2021

I knew what I was getting into kinda with sade, but was very pleasantly surprised, actually liked it more than I expected :)

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 26 2021

Very good album, obvi!

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 27 2021

A banger, but maybe the longest banger ever

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 28 2021

Not really my thing, every song was the same and basically young adult singalongs

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 29 2021

Solid album, good musicians but not my fave

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 30 2021

super good all the way through, with such a strong start

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 31 2021

why another air album? We wonder

Soul Mining by The The
Apr 01 2021

Didn't have super high hopes for this one but I thought it was super good! I rarely pay so much attention to the drums but they really led the way here, and the bass lines were pronounced and funky, so i was a big fan!

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 03 2021

Solid metal album, great guitar and fun and not too british haha

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Apr 04 2021

so good! so many killer features and production is on point on every single track!

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 05 2021

Can you even go wrong with bowie? This is a testament to no

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 06 2021

Honestly a great album, full of life! very nice listen, would def get this record

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 07 2021

This is kinda like Devo meets Bowie imo (but with a more pop vibe), I dig it!

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 08 2021

This is pretty sleepy, boring music. Alien and A Foreign Place were highlights, but this is at best driving music

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 09 2021

Man this guy can sing! Loved it, and found some songs to be way more gospel-like than I expected but I dig it

Berlin by Lou Reed
Apr 10 2021

I really wasn't a fan of this one, I'll have to agree with the early critics and call this hot garbage and wtf was up with the lyrics, especially at the end and then the part where it just sounds like everyone's dying??

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 11 2021

pretty good actually! I liked it more than I expected, and the vibe it gave off really reminded me of the canadian national film bureau movies I was watching

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Apr 12 2021

This was metal alright. Nothing craaaazy but sick guitar

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 14 2021

It was good, but not really my thing.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Apr 15 2021

Very cool, but one thing I wasn't crazy about is how many of the songs had no ending, they just stopped (and sometimes changed partway through like they know how to do a transition but not at the end of a song?) Also, fun fact: Keegan's house used to be owned by Lars Ulrich, the drummer

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Apr 16 2021

A fuckin banger, although sometimes the subject matter (if I even understood it) was totally wild

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Apr 17 2021

This was pretty bad. Singing was drony, instruments all over the place, it was noise

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 18 2021

some classics on here, but not a huge huge fan of abba overall. Interesting to see early pop

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Apr 19 2021

Not bad, some very catchy songs but nothing to write home about, either

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Apr 20 2021

It wasn't bad, but pretty sleepy and uneventful. I liked the james bond remix, and Don't Die Just yet was good too. Skits were fun

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Apr 22 2021

The cover art did not prepare me for what I heard! I liked it a lot, and surprised it's so old tbh

Palo Congo by Sabu
Apr 23 2021

Very fun! man can drum, and the singing was fun but maybe a bit repetitive

No Other by Gene Clark
Apr 24 2021

I feel like I recognize a lot of these songs but they're all kinda similar so maybe it was just every one after the 1st one haha. Sick album art, and no other was my fave off this

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 25 2021

Idk man, really not my thing. I like the metal influences, the rock, and what led here, but not what we got here particularly

Synchronicity by The Police
Apr 26 2021

Very nice album :) I liked the title song in 2 parts, it tied together the album as a unified piece and the change in tone towards more desperation as it progressed was great

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Apr 28 2021

I was kinda excited to listen to this because I've seen this album cover a million god damn times (maybe the most reused album art ever?) but it was kinda a big meh for me and it all kinda blended together, and then when I payed closer attention I asked myself wtf is going on with the melody

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 29 2021

I really dig this. I like how it was heavy, but also clear what they wanted to get across and not overcrowded. Great songs, black hole sun is a classic obvi

Odelay by Beck
May 01 2021

I liked it a lot! But I like Beck and this was fun

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
May 02 2021

Interesting and well-done, but not my favorite

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
May 03 2021

I was ready to listen to something kinda wild, but this was difficult to listen to. Some good parts, and it is interesting as a genre-mixing album, but he brought in all the parts I'm not fond of from each genre it seems

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
May 04 2021

I like this one so much better than the last leonard cohen album. Thought his voice was great n deep, and the synth popped

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 05 2021

This was fun! The lyrics were way less repetitive and the rhythm was more solid throughout.

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 06 2021

Great album. Some songs are a bit whiny tho, maybe a bit cliché and overplayed at this point

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
May 07 2021

I thought this was very nice, and nothing like I expected!

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 09 2021

Great album, but some songs are just too damn long and it's pretty ambient overall

Opus Dei by Laibach
May 13 2021

This was maybe too weird. New to me, but won't be listening to more

Garbage by Garbage
May 17 2021

pretty garbage actually. Bad mixing, difficult to listen to

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
May 18 2021

Very fun! Gave off both a hippy vibe and socially aware movement vibe. Nice n funky :)
