Popular Reviews

Blue by Joni Mitchell

Without question one of the all time great albums. Brilliant in 1971 and just as brilliant and timeless now. Joni is a brilliant writer and musician - perhaps my favorite artist, if I had to choose.

School's Out by Alice Cooper

I've never been a fan of Alice Cooper. I was surprised by some horns and jazz/soul type arrangements, but i have no urge to seek this one out.

Ten by Pearl Jam

Harder rock than I usually listen to, but I like Eddie Vedder's voice. Good stuff. My band plays Alive, so I was familiar with that one. Not enough variety in the tunes for me. "Release", though, is a nice change of pace.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads

I'm really liking this. Good power pop, nice melodies. I've not heard this before, except for their take on Mrs. Robinson.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers

OK. Under the Bridge is a great song. Preferred that style to the rest.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 25 2021

Harder rock than I usually listen to, but I like Eddie Vedder's voice. Good stuff. My band plays Alive, so I was familiar with that one. Not enough variety in the tunes for me. "Release", though, is a nice change of pace.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jan 26 2021

Liked it. Singer-songwriter acoustic vibe. Trumpet on some songs was a nice touch.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Jan 27 2021

Rap is not my thing, but I'll listen. It's OK for what it is, but I won't listen a second time.

London Calling by The Clash
Jan 28 2021

I was familiar with some of these songs, and my band used to play Train in Vain. Decent album but a little uneven so far. The variety in styles is nice.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 29 2021

Let's Get It On is one of the great songs. Really good stuff - soulful and sexy. Listened to it twice.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Feb 01 2021

Started out not thinking much of it, but it started growing on me. Psychedelic pop meets power pop, to me. I listened to it a second time. Ok, but I'm not compelled to add it to my collection.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Feb 02 2021

Classic album by a great singer. I need to be in the mood for Sinatra, though, and I didn't like the take on \"Anything Goes.\" Wonderful band and arrangements. I listened to it twice.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Feb 04 2021

Very interesting that this came shortly after the Frank Sinatra record. It's very old school, and I could see Sinatra having recorded these songs. Good songs, but a lot of them sound similar. Well-produced. Listened twice.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Feb 05 2021

Not much variety. A bit like The Clash, but not as good.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Feb 08 2021

A true classic from a great songwriter. He's not my favorite, but there's no denying his talent.

The Stooges by The Stooges
Feb 09 2021

Interesting - I hear a lot of early 60's "garage rock" as well as "proto-punk" as some describe it. It's a little harsh for my tastes right now, though. Some of the songs are pretty lame, IMO.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 10 2021

Just kind of "meh" to me. I didn't really hear anything memorable. Not offensive, but I treated it like background music.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 11 2021

I listened to it twice and it started growing on me. Some decent power pop a la REM or Big Star, but I would have like fewer but more developed songs. Some were pretty good, some could have been left off the album.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Feb 12 2021

It's not really moving me. I'm not hearing a lot of variety in the songs.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Feb 15 2021

I'm really liking this. Good power pop, nice melodies. I've not heard this before, except for their take on Mrs. Robinson.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 16 2021

OK for what it is, but not my style. Not enough variety in the songs.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Feb 17 2021

I like Fairport Convention, and Sandy Denny in particular. I prefer acoustic and singer/songwriter music generally, and this fits right in. I listened twice.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 18 2021

I've not heard this one before. I really like it, and an amazing lineup, particularly on keys.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Feb 19 2021

I'm surprised that I like it as well as I do. Had I been 10 years younger when it came out, I probably would have owned it. It's not my style, but it's pretty good. I listened to it twice.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 22 2021

On first listening I was disappointed. I was prepared to really love it. It was good, but not exceptional. I've listened to it 3 times now, and it's grown on me.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 23 2021

Some decent jazz and I generally like African-based popular music, but this one really didn't resonate with me.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Feb 24 2021

Newman is a brilliant and very funny songwriter. I've like his stuff for a long time, and Political Science still amuses me! Listened twice.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 25 2021

Without question one of the all time great albums. Brilliant in 1971 and just as brilliant and timeless now. Joni is a brilliant writer and musician - perhaps my favorite artist, if I had to choose.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Feb 26 2021

I'm totally unfamiliar with this band. Songs are OK, but seem pretty light and inconsequential to me. Good musicians.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Mar 01 2021

Meh. I'm familiar with his hits, but it doesn't move me.

S&M by Metallica
Mar 02 2021

Good as far as it goes, if one were a Metallica fan. I'm not, so it didn't hold a lot of interest for me. I expect I like this version better than I would like the original tunes.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 03 2021

Clearly a classic and I own it, but it's never been among my favorites.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Mar 04 2021

I like Costello. Good album, particularly for a first album. Pop punk.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Mar 05 2021

At first listen I thought it boring. It grew on my as I listened a second and then a third time. I wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but it's decent enough.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Mar 08 2021

I've never been a fan of Alice Cooper. I was surprised by some horns and jazz/soul type arrangements, but i have no urge to seek this one out.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Mar 09 2021

I love the Beatles, but I'm really glad they grew artistically from their early efforts.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Mar 11 2021

Surprisingly accessible and enjoyable. I was impressed - listened three times.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Mar 12 2021

Some tunes are OK, but nothing exceptional.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 15 2021

OK. Didn't hear anything special.

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 16 2021

Not bad. Nothing I feel I need to own, though. Decent power pop.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 17 2021

Some pretty classic tunes, most of it seemed just OK to me.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Mar 18 2021

Surprisingly, I like this album. Musically it's diverse, well performed. Not all rap, some melody, lots of variety. I listened to it twice. Well done!

Stankonia by OutKast
Mar 19 2021

I'm sure it's great for what it is, but not my thing.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Mar 22 2021

Nice harmonies, but songs are all pretty similar, I think.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Mar 23 2021

Good reggae. I like the horns.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 24 2021

I bought this album in 1971. Always liked it, and I've gotten to appreciate it beyond. Peaches en Regalia.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Mar 25 2021

Great album. Waits writes some beautiful song. Listening to this got me on a Waits kick for the day.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Mar 29 2021

It grew on me as I listened to it (3 times).

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Mar 31 2021

Some good stuff. The production seemed dated to me.

Night Life by Ray Price
Apr 01 2021

OK, but I'm not big on the style.

Pump by Aerosmith
Apr 02 2021

OK, but not really into Aerosmith.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Apr 05 2021

Excellent album. Surprisingly good.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 07 2021

I didn't much care for it when it came out, but I appreciate it more now. Not a fan of "Shout".

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Apr 08 2021

I really like this album. I knew several of the tunes, of course, but the ones with which I was unfamiliar were really good too.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Apr 09 2021

Didn't do much for me. The vibe's not bad, but that's about it. It also bugs me that he misspelled "gilded".

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 13 2021

Not bad. Liked it more the second time I listened to it.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 15 2021

Pretty wild for it's time. Decent enough, but not one that I'll listen to often.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Apr 16 2021

Just OK. Songs sounded awfully similar.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 19 2021

I really enjoyed this. Listened three times. Great, diverse tunes.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 22 2021

OK. Under the Bridge is a great song. Preferred that style to the rest.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Apr 27 2021

Better than I expected. Some good songs.

The Band by The Band
Apr 29 2021

Great stuff.

Disintegration by The Cure
May 03 2021

Surprised that I liked it as much as I did.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
May 04 2021

OK, I guess. Don't care for it, but the genre's not my thing.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 05 2021

Nothing special.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
May 06 2021

Not as "metal" as I feared. OK, for what it is.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
May 07 2021

OK. It got better for me on the second listen.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
May 10 2021

Classic album. One of my favorites - takes me back.

Illmatic by Nas
May 11 2021

Writes well, but not into the genre.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 12 2021

I really like this album. It can be tough to review since the songs are so well known and played so much. Some haven't aged as well as others, but Thunder Road and Jungleland will always be rock anthems.

The White Album by Beatles
May 13 2021

Amazing album, everything holds up well, even though I played it virtually every day for awhile in high school.

Pretenders by Pretenders
May 14 2021

Decent. Good rock band. I probably would have enjoyed them live.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
May 17 2021

Pretty decent for rap. More musical than most.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 18 2021

This was an eye-opener. I knew her name but had not listened to her. Excellent stuff - good songs and great production. Good diversity in styles. I liked it.

May 19 2021

Excellent album. Some really great songs.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
May 20 2021

Some decent moments, and obviously a decent band, but too metal for me. Were I 20 years younger, though, they would likely have been among my favorites.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
May 21 2021

OK, but nothing special.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
May 24 2021

Pretentious and kind of boring. I'm sure it was much better seeing it live.

Third by Portishead
May 25 2021

Some nice stuff, but on the whole not one I'd want in my collection.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
May 28 2021

Good album. Good variety, excellent songs, well-produced.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jun 01 2021

Great album. I wasn't familiar with all the tunes, but it was solid, top to bottom.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jun 02 2021

Better the second time around.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 04 2021

I really liked this one. I was unfamiliar with all the tunes, so a nice surprise!

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jun 08 2021

Decent, but works mostly as background music for me.

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jun 09 2021

Songs were decent, musically, but I didn't care for the screamo vocals.

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 11 2021

Mellow, but only a couple songs really notable.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Jun 14 2021

Good album. I usually like female singer/songwriters. This is no exception.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jun 16 2021

Not much into old rap.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jun 17 2021

Good stuff. I knew Guitar Town but had not listened to the entire album before.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 18 2021

Good rock, great guitarist.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 21 2021

Great album. Great songwriting and harmonies. One that I own.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jun 22 2021

Surprisingly good album from a band I've never heard of!

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Jun 23 2021

Not into power punk.

Jun 25 2021

Brilliant album. A Classic
