Popular Reviews

S&M by Metallica

Should you listen to this because it's a musically interesting, an unusual mix, and kind of original in its own way? Sure. Is it good? Meh unless you're a fan of Metallica. Props to the SF Symphony, all the stars are for them.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

This is really not my thing. It felt like the ramblings of a half stoned old man in some seedy bar. If that's your cup of tea you'll love it, but to me it was boring, depressing and badly sung.

American Idiot by Green Day

I might be biased, but this album marked a generation. I've always enjoyed it as a decent rock/punk album. It's fun and full of energy, but manages to express quite well the frustration and disillusionment felt at that time.

Live! by Fela Kuti

This album has a fantastic start and then just keeps going. Very funky and jammy with great rhythms. Didn't even notice the songs are 12 min long! Just a fun, and well-rounded album.

In Utero by Nirvana

Meh. The 1 star belongs entirely to All Apologies.
