Popular Reviews

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective

Albums like this make me think that the "before" in "1001 Albums to Listen Before You Die" in fact establishes a causal relationship, rather than a procedural one

Gold by Ryan Adams

Had to stop in the middle of the 3rd song, because my balls were shrinking. It's like a cocktail of estrogen with radioactive waste

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

Dylan is probably the most overrated musician to exist. Can't stand that squeaky voice...

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre

When I saw that all songs were called Oxygène, I knew it would be shit...

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 02 2021

Dylan is probably the most overrated musician to exist. Can't stand that squeaky voice...

Odelay by Beck
Feb 26 2021

Naaahh...

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 15 2021

I'll make sure to listen to this one when I feel like hating myself

The Stooges by The Stooges
Mar 16 2021

It's nice, kinda fresh

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 17 2021

Everything sounds the same. Pretty voice, though

Hms Fable by Shack
Mar 24 2021

Sounds like backing track for some faggot millennial ad, but it's cool

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Mar 25 2021

It's kinda retarded I had never listened to this before. Good stuff

Gold by Ryan Adams
Mar 26 2021

Had to stop in the middle of the 3rd song, because my balls were shrinking. It's like a cocktail of estrogen with radioactive waste

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Mar 29 2021

It has the vibe, but not my favorite from The Doors

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 01 2021

I managed to go through the album while having somewhat enjoyed exactly 1 song. It's noisy, in a bad way

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Apr 07 2021

Weird. It makes me nostalgic of a time I was not even alive yet. Thought it was cringe at first, but came to like it

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 09 2021
69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Apr 12 2021

What a stupid album

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Apr 15 2021

Yeah, Alice in Chains is always cool

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Apr 16 2021

Albums like this make me think that the "before" in "1001 Albums to Listen Before You Die" in fact establishes a causal relationship, rather than a procedural one

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 19 2021

Fuck this shit...

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Apr 20 2021

I find this guy so boring... It's funny how he had this squeaky voice before he got old and went on just talking over a soundtrack

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Apr 21 2021

So... what's original about this album? It's like Björk but more annoying and some 15 years later

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 26 2021

Good stuff. Foundational album for any guitar player. There's always something new to notice. Decades later, it still sounds original

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 28 2021
Homework by Daft Punk
May 03 2021

Hummm... so, as an album, this is shit. Most songs are unbearable, but the few good ones are really good. Over the fence on this one

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 06 2021

It's way better than I thought it would be. I guess it's the classic case where the average fan is so repulsive that it tarnishes an otherwise great band

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
May 10 2021

When I saw that all songs were called Oxygène, I knew it would be shit...

1977 by Ash
May 11 2021
Elephant by The White Stripes
May 13 2021
Kid A by Radiohead
May 17 2021
Harvest by Neil Young
May 20 2021
Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
May 27 2021

I think I dislike it less than it deserves...

Kenza by Khaled
May 28 2021

Khaled?! If Bonde do Tigrão pops up here I'llnot be surprised. No, serious WTF, that's total crap. This album doesn't even have Même pas fatigué... It's all rrrllluirrrkirrllaarrrrhhhullarrr

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 31 2021

Listening to this now doesn't sound as bad as it used to. Still kinda gay, though

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 03 2021

Not into it

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jun 04 2021

Man... this is bullshit. It's the 2nd Dylan crap they are pushing here by now. Anyone with minimal capacity for judgement a functioning year can notice that it's a stupid voice talking nonsense over bad music. Even Khaled is better than that

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jun 08 2021

If the guy stopped sucking dick to sing, could be better. Still too much soy... Pass

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jun 10 2021

Now that's folk-rock. One of those bands that I often heard about but never listened too. I was surprised

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Jun 11 2021

Not much into jazz, but you listen to this, you understand what makes jazz special. Phenomenal musicianship

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jun 14 2021

Man, give me an extra star here. Legend

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jun 15 2021

Can't deny the originality of this band, but never liked Geddy Lee's singing, sounds like Terrence and Philip. I'm pretty sure that's where South Park got the idea...

GI by Germs
Jun 17 2021

Bah, it's kind of a fun story, but not particularly excited about this album

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 22 2021

This is a good album. I'm giving it 1 star (would give a million negative if I could), because ultimately, their revolutionary talk is just a façade for a genocidal instinct and material lust that is so typical of your everyday armchair communist, castrated, burgeois, and with zero responsibility for his own life. Their White genocide video with that bitch Tim Wise is inexcusable, and I hope they will all burn in hell with a cactus up their ass

One World by John Martyn
Jun 25 2021

Unlistenable

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Jun 30 2021

I like the music, but the satanic lyrics make them look gay

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 08 2021

Ah, now we're talking. Compared to other albums here, we'd need a truckload of stars to make this album justice. Damn good stuff

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 12 2021

Good, but look, I get that Beetles is a fine band, no need to drop every single album here...

Jul 14 2021

Ok, it's not my style, and it feels weird to rank it together with yesterday's Motorhead, but I gotta give it a 5

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 20 2021

Man U2 really sounds like old-school faggot stuff. Like, AIDS gay stuff

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jul 21 2021
Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Jul 23 2021

A lot nicer than I thought it would be. I'm probably not listening to this album again, but can't say I wasted my time checking it out

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 30 2021
Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Aug 02 2021

Tired of Stones, overrated

Drunk by Thundercat
Aug 05 2021
Live At Leeds by The Who
Aug 09 2021

I used to like The Who, but I listen to the lyrics now and realize that the worldview idealized in their times is today's reality, and it's total degeneracy crap, so screw that.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 10 2021

Bah, que baita bosta...

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Aug 11 2021

It's a lot nicer than the faggotry that they came up with in the 90s

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Aug 12 2021

Like a watered-down Stones, which not watered-down is cringe enough

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Aug 27 2021

Nice find, it's funny how it takes less than 20 minutes to play all 15 songs

Destroyer by KISS
Aug 30 2021

Dude, look at that cover, it's literally four trannies jumping from a pile of rubble, wtf. 100% cringe, can't take that shit serious

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 21 2022

Imagine you're a hobo and you find a whole warm Big Mac in the dumpster. It's still garbage, but you can enjoy it

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 19 2022

Ha! Gaaaaaaayyyy!

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 27 2022

One of them had his team win Isle if Man TT twice. Even Bob Dylan would get 5 stars if he had done that (but he didn't, he's just a fag). Anyways, Prodigy is cool

Play by Moby
Apr 28 2022
Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 15 2022

The man's got a point, but too much pot makes you sound retarded

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Mar 02 2023
Basket of Light by Pentangle
Mar 08 2023

Everything sounds pretty much the same

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 09 2023
Permission to Land by The Darkness
Mar 22 2023

Extra star because it had solo guitars at a time no one would do them, otherwise the music is not that good...

Movies by Holger Czukay
Mar 29 2023

Creative, but ridiculous

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 30 2023
The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 31 2023

The Who, like almost anything from this generation, sounds like an old dude still smoking pot. Had its heydays, but never grew past it. Now just sounds dumb and infantile

evermore by Taylor Swift
Apr 04 2023

Why?

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Apr 09 2023

I don't like it at all, but it's authentic

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 13 2023

Makes me think of the ending to that series, Heimat. The village of old loses its charm to modernist architecture, there are those Vietnamese kids, and the bastard son gets money from his clueless adoptive father to make shit electronic music

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Apr 16 2023
Faith by George Michael
Apr 19 2023

HA! GAAAAAAYYYY!!

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Apr 22 2023

You remove the vocals, it sounds like soundtrack for some VHS porn tape
