Popular Reviews

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys

What on earth is this album supposed to be

Grace by Jeff Buckley

I really did not love the style or the music. It was sort of whiny and lame in my opinion.

Debut by Björk

I just couldn't get behind this to be honest, and I really wanted to like it. It was just too much noise, not enough music.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders

I thought this was a cool album for sure! I liked the vibes and felt that it was quite silly but in a fun way. I really appreciate how it wasn't as serious as a lot of the other albums from this decade that we've gotten (looking at you Bee Gees)

This was not a good album. I feel like even if it's so perfect for the movie, that does not make it a good album on its own (as you said Kix). Lame!

All Ratings (101)

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

Music was pretty good, but the lyrics killed me. If I could give half stars, I'd rate it 2.5 because I felt it was overwhelmingly average

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jan 20 2021

my favorite songs were the wizard and NIB (but that one is like together with two other songs). i thought the guitar solos were super cool, the lyrics were wild, and i could really see how this changed the course of metal music.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jan 22 2021

This album is amazing! My most favorite track is Rudy (it's so 70s) and I hella love the temp changes. I also really like If Everyone Was Listening and Dreamer. Sick sounds, would listen again.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 23 2021

What on earth is this album supposed to be

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 26 2021

Way better than I anticipated, and his vocal range really impressed me. My favorite tracks were Suspicious Minds (that's my fav Elvis song tho), Gentle on my Mind, In the Ghetto, and I'll Hold you in my Heart

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 28 2021

I liked it a lot -- it was quite strange, but I thought that there were some sick instrumental parts, and he has a really nice voice. I liked Without You, Jump into the Fire, and The Moonbeam Song, but the Coconut song is also a straight up classic.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Jan 29 2021

it was pretty good, but i am not the biggest fan of this style of reggae. I liked Your Love Gets Sweeter and Sunday Shining the best.

Jan 30 2021

A classic. I love The Rockafeller Skank, Gangster Trippin, and Soul Surfing. I wouldn't just listen to the album probably, but it's great party music.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jan 31 2021

I could have gone my whole life and not heard this album. It was straight garbage.

Fractured Life by Air Traffic
Feb 01 2021

It was fine, nothing life-altering for me. I liked the song Charlotte, but I felt like it was just an okay album.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Feb 02 2021

Sick beats, sick lyrics. I loved this album and I thought that the commentary was scathing and also still poignant. My favorite tracks were 911 Is a Joke, Fight the Power, and Power to the People, but I liked all the songs (instrumentals included).

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Feb 03 2021

It was p good. I liked War Pigs (obvi) and The Real Thing the most

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 04 2021

idk about this. I liked Sunflower and Wild Wood, but overall it was too country-folksy ish

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Feb 05 2021

Low-key it was p good. I actually liked the sound of it, and the lyrics made it better for me than modern country. I liked I'm a Lonesome Fugitive, Life in Prison, and If You Want to be my Woman

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

The lyrics were trash, the piano was trash, and his voice was trash. Hated it.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 07 2021

It was pretty good, but I got kinda tired of those stupid background vocals by the end (like that tiny voice repeating everything he was singing)

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 08 2021

I thought this album was full of bops! The obvious hit is Alright, but I loved the first track maybe even more than that one!

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 09 2021

Idk about this, like it was fine but also completely forgettable.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 10 2021

One of my favorite albums of all time. My favorite track has been and always will be Momma, followed closely by King Kunta and Alright.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 11 2021

This album was a straight classic man, I fuckin loved it.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Feb 12 2021

It was pretty good, I liked the dream-pop sort of style it had going on for sure.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 13 2021

it was a sort of fine from me.

Feb 14 2021

This is a solid album! The music is great, the concepts are wild -- it's all around a good/interesting listen.

Protection by Massive Attack
Feb 15 2021

This was really not my style, I thought it was too repetitive.

Faith by George Michael
Feb 16 2021

It was pretty good -- the music was very catchy and he has a great voice, but there was just something really weird about the lyrics to me.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 17 2021

It was a solid album, but I feel like as his 15th studio album, it wasn't as innovative as some of his older stuff. I also found the song "I Met a Little Girl" problematic.

1977 by Ash
Feb 18 2021

this was not for me

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 19 2021

It was actually quite good i thought, I really liked the first couple of songs!

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 20 2021

Ehh it was pretty good, but I stand by my opinion that they were one-hit wonders with Come on Eileen.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Feb 21 2021

It was a good album! I really liked the music, and the overall vibe.

xx by The xx
Feb 22 2021

great album, I forgot how much i liked it!

John Prine by John Prine
Feb 23 2021

Thanks, I hated it.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Feb 24 2021

This album was really cool! I liked the mix of sounds and styles, and I do think it's funny that their name is "The Band"

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Feb 25 2021

It was pretty good, but I wish that I could rate half stars because ideally I'd give it 2.5

Infected by The The
Feb 26 2021

It was too much random noise for me, not a fan.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Feb 27 2021

This had some classic hits on it, I was into the whole vibe.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Feb 28 2021

I thought it was wild, and I didn't really like it. I feel like it had a lot of cool parts but the way they were put together was just too chaotic for my taste.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Mar 01 2021

I actually loved this album. It was so cool and had such a sick vibe. I wanted more at the end!

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 02 2021

It wasn't my favorite but it had some cool spots in it.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Mar 03 2021

No thank you Leonard. I didn't like the singing or the music, and I feel like it's bs that he's on this list tbh.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 04 2021

Ehh it was pretty good, but like pretty similar to the other albums we've gotten from this decade.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Mar 05 2021

I thought this was a cool album for sure! I liked the vibes and felt that it was quite silly but in a fun way. I really appreciate how it wasn't as serious as a lot of the other albums from this decade that we've gotten (looking at you Bee Gees)

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 06 2021

absolute fire. such a great album, and it had a lot of Blondie's hits on it

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Mar 07 2021

Ehh, it was a little bit whispery and weird. I appreciated the music, but not so much the singing.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 08 2021

I wanted to like this so much, but it was too grungy for me. Kinda bummed me out to listen to it, and I felt like I couldn't relate to the content at all.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 09 2021

She has a great voice! I can't say I love the type of music she makes, but I still enjoyed listening to it.

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 10 2021

all the songs sounded the same, and they were all just okay. It was too much whining and too monotone for me.

Mar 11 2021

If only I had discovered this during my angsty teenage years! Love the angst, the rage, and the drama

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Mar 12 2021

I liked this album, though I am not sure that I think it's anything too special. I liked the vibes and the sound for sure

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 13 2021

it was pretty good, but i felt like it wasn't too special. i really liked the music but i thought the lyrics were lacking at times

Mar 14 2021

I did not like this at all. It felt contrived and rude and judgmental. I didn't mind the country/folksy music but I expected more from the Byrds

Signing Off by UB40
Mar 15 2021

I really liked this, though I found some of the songs to be a bit too long/repetitive (which is generally what I don't like about reggae). Overall though it had good vibes, and I liked the cool 80s elements you could hear in it as well.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Mar 16 2021

This is a classic album for sure -- great music, great vibes. I definitely liked it a lot

Mar 17 2021

This was not a good album. I feel like even if it's so perfect for the movie, that does not make it a good album on its own (as you said Kix). Lame!

Debut by Björk
Mar 18 2021

I just couldn't get behind this to be honest, and I really wanted to like it. It was just too much noise, not enough music.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 19 2021

I really did not love the style or the music. It was sort of whiny and lame in my opinion.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Mar 20 2021

This is a really classic album, and I am a big fan of Pink Floyd. I love the emotion in this album -- in the music and the lyrics.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Mar 21 2021

I think this is an incredible work, and it is truly so unique and beautiful. Her voice is so iconic, and the piano is really amazing too.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Mar 22 2021

I really didn't love this album. I thought it was pretty monotonous and not super interesting. It felt like a middle school-esque angst type of album.

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 24 2021

This album was pretty good. I'm not a huge fan of this genre of pop but I thought the vocals were incredible (obvi) and it was super fun to listen to.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Mar 25 2021

I was not a fan of this album at all. I thought the "singing" was terrible, and it felt like it was off-beat or each member of the band was doing their own thing. It wasn't all bad but it was not good either.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 26 2021

Obviously a great album, with great vocals and a lot of classics on it! I really enjoyed it :)

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Mar 27 2021

I thought this was a really sick jazz album. It was so moody and emotional, loved that.

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 28 2021

This album is garbage. The lyrics sucked, the music sucked, and I hated it.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 29 2021

It's pretty good for sure, a solid album and quite silly/satirical at times, which I liked.

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

This is a good album, def a classic.

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 31 2021

Like it was nice sounds, but I wouldn't necessarily call it music.

Soul Mining by The The
Apr 01 2021

it was pretty good, like definitely some solid 80s synth going on, but idk if we really needed to hear this album.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 03 2021

It was pretty good. I'd heard a lot of the songs before, but metal isn't my favorite tbh

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Apr 04 2021

this is a great album! Missy is so cool and I absolutely love seeing this on the list

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 05 2021

It was obviously great, but it wasn't as good as his other stuff we have heard so far.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Apr 06 2021

It was indeed a dance mania moment. This album slaps.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 07 2021

It was pretty solid, very fun 80s pop! I liked it

Quiet Life by Japan
Apr 08 2021

I thought it was alright, but nothing too special. I found the singing to be very monotonous, and not in an interesting way.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Apr 09 2021

I really loved the classics on this album of course, but I did feel that the content about Indigenous peoples was really problematic.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Apr 10 2021

I hated this.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 11 2021

I really didn't like the music -- it all sounded the same to me -- but I feel bad about it this time because I feel like he was really talented at playing the instruments.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Apr 12 2021

This was fine, definitely a bit much for my taste tho.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 14 2021

It was pretty good, a little country for my taste, but it was pretty nice to listen to regardless.

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

I thought some of the songs were too long and repetitive so it wasn't my favorite, but I still liked it.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Apr 16 2021

it was really fun and different! I really appreciate the wide range of instruments and vocals, but it was just not my favorite type of music for sure.

Arrival by ABBA
Apr 18 2021

A classic album and even tho parts of it are problematic, I still really liked the way it sounded.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Apr 19 2021

It was okay, definitely not my favorite though.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Apr 20 2021

I liked this album quite a bit. Weirdly, it gave me almost Khraungbin vibes

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Apr 21 2021

It was good 80s synth-pop, but at the end of the day that isn't so spectacular to me. I liked it tho, overall.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Apr 22 2021

I had no idea that this was the band who did all those classic songs, but I loved it! It was good vibes and fun music :)

Palo Congo by Sabu
Apr 23 2021

this was so different than any other music I ever listen to and I loved it!

No Other by Gene Clark
Apr 24 2021

it wasn't bad, but it didn't have anything particularly interesting going on either.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 25 2021

It was fine, but I'm not a huge fan of grunge or the Smashing Pumpkins, so it was not my favorite.

Synchronicity by The Police
Apr 26 2021

It's a good album, just not exactly my favorite style of music

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Apr 27 2021

It was a solid album, I definitely liked the folksy and bluesy blend of styles.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Apr 29 2021

I really don't love soundgarden but I fully get the appeal after listening to this album! It was interesting and it had a really cool perspective, so I liked it.
