Popular Reviews

Casanova by The Divine Comedy

I give this Casanova only one Cyrano de Bergerac

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo

Shaka Zulu was pretty good, not sure if it was because of the mood i was in or what but it was decent background stuff. tammy thought it sounded a bit like african gospel. wither way the gods must be crazy I give it three empty coke bottles

Technique by New Order

not my thing. I give it two flopping fish of doom

The Blueprint by JAY Z

I grew up on the suburban streets of Beavercreek I DONT RELATE

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello

EC did not really do it for me. His voice was annoying

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 25 2021

Neil Young is an artist where I know all of his hits but never really listened to any of his albums all the way through so I am happy about this selection. I always meant to listen to more Neil Young. 1 - "Cinnamon Girl" - One of his hits so I of course enjoyed it 2-3 - "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" & "Round & Round (It Won't Be Long)" - These two were a little to slow and sad for me today. I am working while listening so maybe the lyrics weren't sad but the music made me feel sad so there is that. 4 - "Down by the River" - another one of his hits so I enjoyed it. 5 "The Losing End (When You're On)" – okay, this is seriously depressing to me. I didn't finish it...NEXT! 6 "Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets)" – OH FOR FUCKS SAKE!!! SERIOUSLY?? I DO NOT NEED THIS SHIT RIGHT NOW. I DO NOT LIKE THIS SONG AT ALL - opening verse: Oh, please help me, oh, please help me I'm livin' by myself I need someone to comfort me ANOTHER SKIP!!! 7 "Cowgirl in the Sand" – Ok, I like me some cowgirls, lets see how this goes........Pretty nice guitar intro..... I like me some guitar! Maybe this is an instrumental... nope. Lyrics are so so but I dig the guitar solos. I give this song three snausages

Faith by George Michael
Jan 26 2021

I was so glad when I saw that this was the remastered version. I just relished in the way the synthesizers were so damn crisp and bold! I could feel their electric vibe in my toes. Not everybody feels it but everybody should. With a title like "Faith" I really expected some wholesome religious based tunes but was shocked when I realized a lot of the songs have to do with ese ee ex. I expected more from a man with a cross hanging from his ear lob. Going with two stars just cause I wanna save one star In case a new kids on the block album pops up

Be by Common
Jan 27 2021

The intro made me thing I was listening to an old 64 bit game soundtrack for a second. IT's catchy but hard for me to concentrate on the words while working. It's not bad but just not my thing. I am very picky about what kind of HipHop i like. Testify is kind of catchy with that hook

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Feb 02 2021

Enjoyed very much, smooth and relaxing. Like a river raft ride

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Feb 03 2021

this is not good for my head today

The Clash by The Clash
Feb 04 2021

hit the spot today! I give it twelve bananas

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Feb 05 2021

I grew up on the suburban streets of Beavercreek I DONT RELATE

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 09 2021

meh, it was okay. Nothing really grabbed me. I didn't hate it but I also did not love it. It was background.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Feb 10 2021

EC did not really do it for me. His voice was annoying

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 11 2021

I have always liked Bob Marley and The Wailers. Bob always sings of love and goodness and I like that.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 15 2021

It was aight. I give it three twists of a dog's tail

Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 16 2021

this was calming background music for me. I liked a few tracks and added it to my "Background Tunes 2021" playlist. What I really liked here was the "Album Radio" Spotify started playing after the "Beach House" album was over. I added quite a few songs that I heard today into my various playlists. I have really been missing my OPLAE playlists from this random guy on Reddit that I got every few weeks so this thing Mark found has been one of my favorite things. THANK YOU MARK! I give this album 47 ripe watermelons

Feb 17 2021

not really sure what to think on this one. It was okay but I had a real bad day yesterday so it was hard to concentrate and get into it. I hope today is better. I give this album eleven licks on the kitty cat scale

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Feb 18 2021

mr stills was unable to move me to action with his combinatio of musical notes and words that were aligned wtih those ntoes. I feel weird. I am not sure what but it was the music that did not cause it. I give this seventeen flying dinasours

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Feb 19 2021

as i skipped through the tracks of Viva Hate I could not help but harken back to my days as a youth in Schlotzenberg. MY family and our adopted immigrant penguins would frolic in the summer sun as we played games of hide the cow tongue and shlemmel your sister suitor. One time Vincent could not completely hide the cow tongue and we mocked him to the point he swallowed the tongue. Such fond memories of those times. MOrrissey brought me back to those simpler times when my only worry was did I have enough sawdust to satisfy the local chieftain. Those really were simpler times back then. I give this album five schnazelbangers

Technique by New Order
Feb 22 2021

not my thing. I give it two flopping fish of doom

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 23 2021

I don't know I like Bruce's hits but just not a super fan

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Feb 24 2021

one of The Doors better albums. I thoroughly enjoyed it and give it seven deadly baths

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 25 2021

it was a blur

Mar 02 2021

that was some freaky weird stuff. I wanna say drugs but I dont know. I give it a ripe orange and two burnt avocado's

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Mar 03 2021

I now understand what was going on with Peggy and why she may have contemplated suicide and it has nothing to do with all of the soap in my underwear. That was just an experiment to see how much soap my underwear would hold. I did not factor that some may use bar soap and others use pump. I prefer pump when we are dealing with things in my underwear. I give Julian Cope a tip of the hat and four tiny pebbles that can be confused for rocks.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Mar 04 2021

as 'Dance Mania' permeated throughout my mind and body I found myself enjoying it. I am not sure I am going to be adding Tito Puente to my rotation of artists but when I get the hankering for a hunk of Latino dance music he is the one I shall turn to. I give "Dance Mania" four maracas filled with jalapeño seeds

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Mar 05 2021

the modern lovers are not very modern anymore but their loving is still strong. I shall besto up their album seven pablo picassos (not the asshole one but the other one)

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 08 2021

this being a newer album....looks, 1999 WHAT THE FUDGE! Love me RHCP - I saw them in concert with Tammy in 2018. I give this album four argyle socks

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 09 2021

That album takes me back in time to the time of the release of that album And what I was doing at that time to pass the time which in turn makes me reflect on the time I spend thinking about old times. That's good times. I give this album four Cameron Diaz's

In Utero by Nirvana
Mar 10 2021

In utero is a Latin term literally meaning "in the womb". In biology, the phrase describes the state of an embryo or fetus. In legal contexts, the phrase is used to refer to unborn children. Under common law, unborn children are still considered to exist for property transfer purposes. I give this album three properties! (just land, no structures)

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Mar 11 2021

Emperor they say... Pfffttt.... more like Concubine Tomato Paste. This was not my bag man. I have a big bag but this does not fit into my bag. Maybe if my bag had a little pocket on the outside I could slide this in. IN that case I would probably barely know it feel out when I was climbing that tree. I would just fill that pocket with something else that is not my bag. I did finish this. and was underwhelmed. I give it two junior mints

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Mar 15 2021

thoroughly enjoyed this - I give it two Glen Miller's a Tommy Dorsey and a gaggle of Benny Goodman's for good measure.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Mar 16 2021

I started listening and then before I knew it the album was over. It seemed like one long song to me. I will listen again. I give it three Rip Van Winkles

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Mar 18 2021

i listened to it a few times. Not bad. Not great. I will listen again on St Patty's Day 2022 I give it three lucky charms

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 23 2021

IMO this was when Metallica took the turn to become more mainstream (if that is the right term) ~ This is NOT the "Kill 'em All", "Ride the LIghtning" or "Master of Puppets" Metallica of my youth. A lot of my friends and fans called them sell outs when this album came out. Say what you want, this album, on the back of "And Justice For All" made Metallica the biggest heavy metal band in the world. and I fucking LOVED this album back in the day..... I wore that casette tape out! LOL

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Mar 24 2021

Bobby Womack is the king of product placement but probably only a duke of soul. He was not terrible but did not rise to my level of "i must hear more of this man" - he wa aight - he shall receive three "Bleeding Gum Murphy's"

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Mar 25 2021

interesting album and more interesting group. they were all over the place and showed a lot of their influences. i give them three platypuses - hopefully they figure out who they want to be

White Light by Gene Clark
Mar 26 2021

that stereotypical (in my mind) seventies artist. Gave me that Bob Dylan / Paul Simon feel. But, just nothing there for me to say "I gotta hear me more Gene Clark" so I give it three acoustic coffee house jam sessions.

Mar 30 2021

That album was swaggy. I give it two brad pitt's and two Angelina Jolie's!

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Mar 31 2021

as predicted, heavy weather rolled in with a high pressure system that almost derailed everything during track one but then it stabilized and provided a nice 68 degree and sunshiny album. I give it Four 1980's Bruce Asbury's

Woodface by Crowded House
Apr 01 2021

Woodface gave. Me a smiley face cause on the face of that album was a smiling woodface. It wAs not terrible it was not great it just was. Three I shall give this

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Apr 02 2021

sujan stevens is living his best life as he creates these experimental tunes for our listening pleasure. It just seems as if my pleasure from listening to him was not achieved. I shall try other SS albums to gauge his style but this particular alblum did not do it for me. I give it two Marty Schottenheimer's - SS tried but didnt get to the big dance

Apr 05 2021

man, I really dug this album. I am sucker for Live stuff and hearing a legend like JB was pretty cool. I listened to it probably five times this weekend. I give it four eddie murphy hot tubs!

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Apr 06 2021

Shaka Zulu was pretty good, not sure if it was because of the mood i was in or what but it was decent background stuff. tammy thought it sounded a bit like african gospel. wither way the gods must be crazy I give it three empty coke bottles

Moondance by Van Morrison
Apr 07 2021

This is one of my favorite Van Morrison albums. When I opened it up I already had five of the songs starred. It's a banger album for me. I'm going to go ahead and give it four G L O R I A 's

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 08 2021

Meh..... Maybe Bert was da shit back then but now he be just background filler. I give him two and a half Ernie's

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 09 2021

I like back when you could understand all the rap words! GAWD I was 13... holy moley. This album is dope and deserves four Arwen's

B-52's by The B-52's
Apr 12 2021
Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Apr 13 2021

this opened my eyes (ears?) to the face that the Bee Gees were more than just staying alive, saturday night fever and disco. It was interesting and I enjoyed it but I would probably not choose to go back to it. I give it two and a half john travoltas

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 21 2021

I am pretty sure if I don't hear this album before I die everything will be okay

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
May 04 2021

I give this Casanova only one Cyrano de Bergerac

American Idiot by Green Day
May 06 2021

One of the legendary Rock Opera's of our time. Right up there with Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
May 17 2021

Calming and relaxing tunes for the soul

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
May 18 2021

amazing voice and perfect compliment to the rainy monday morning.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
May 19 2021

im not sure what that was

Like A Prayer by Madonna
May 28 2021

Loved Madonna and the shock value she brought. The true queen

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jun 02 2021

not to bad.. good listen

Vivid by Living Colour
Jun 11 2021

i dunno. it was music. has the cult of personality song. then a bunch of their songs all started sounding the same.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 17 2021

one of their best albums

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 01 2021

i always enjoy me some funk!

Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 02 2021

nostalgic. I remember hearing Duran Duran blaring out of my sisters room for many years! Good stufff

1984 by Van Halen
Jul 23 2021
Van Halen by Van Halen
Aug 10 2021

oh baby, that makes me feel old

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Aug 11 2021

some funky good time rollin tunes for the soul of a desperate man with no trouble on his mind or heart

Sep 29 2021

Oct 26 2021

Mar 01 2022

lou reeed is smoooooth

Damaged by Black Flag
Mar 03 2022

no interest in this one

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Mar 17 2022

i enjoyed her voice and the soothing tunes! Harkened me back to when I listened to 10,000 Maniacs and Natale Merchant with Kim back in the day.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 23 2022

I dunno, I am sure the guy is popular with his fans but it just seemed like background noise to me. Not bad, not great, just music in the background.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 24 2022

nada

Hotel California by Eagles
Apr 12 2022

The Eagles made some classic songs and they will always hold a place in my nostalgia folder but they never took any chances. All their songs are just "safe" so they safely appeal to everyone but there is nothing cutting edge about them or awesome. They are just chill and mellow.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Apr 19 2022

it was smooth and enjoyable

Abraxas by Santana
May 09 2022

beautiful!

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 19 2022

enjoyable but I was so busy working while listening I did not listen well

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
May 20 2022

todays album was very interesting to me. Every song on it felt familiar but at the same time it felt like he shouldn't be the one singing it. BUt it was not a cover. so weird

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Aug 31 2022

so depressing. I hate divorce songs :(

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 31 2022

classic album. the beatles shit a brick when this came out

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Dec 01 2022

Meh

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Mar 27 2023

meh, not really my thing anymore. I love Shadowboxer but thats just a one off I guess
