Popular Reviews

Fever Ray by Fever Ray

Masterpiece.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

Boring.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's

Green onions is a famous original composition. The rest of the album is covers of famous songs played at the organ, meh.

All Ratings (175)

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Mar 22 2021

Like the sample based songs (chipmunk style). Didn’t like synth based songs.

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 23 2021

Not great retro-rock. Prefer much more Tame Impala and Motorpsycho.

Mar 24 2021

Nice mix of instrumental jazz tracks and pop songs. Not a big fan of brass in general, but good stuff.

Risque by CHIC
Mar 25 2021

This clearly inspired Daft Punk and the likes. Great upbeat disco, bouncy bass lines, funky guitar riffs.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Mar 30 2021

Dope lyrics, funky music.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Mar 31 2021

Heavy synth and spoken voice, not fitting well Leonard Cohen. I prefer much more the original classic Leonard Cohen style.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 01 2021

Beatles meets Beach Boys. Similar vocalisation, similar arrangements. Just not convinced that the compositions are as good though.

The Band by The Band
Apr 02 2021

Not bad, but really not my cup of tea.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 05 2021

Green onions is a famous original composition. The rest of the album is covers of famous songs played at the organ, meh.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Apr 06 2021

It doesn’t sound bad, but I really don’t like this style of music.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Apr 07 2021

Since I Left You is a masterpiece. The rest of the album is not really memorable.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Apr 08 2021

Masterpiece.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 09 2021

Not necessarily of type of music I’m into, but I get a good feeling about it and will probably re-listen to it.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Apr 13 2021

One song composed by Bobby Womack which is good, the rest gives me zero emotions.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Apr 19 2021

Really good, I didn't think I would enjoy this album as much.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Apr 22 2021

Really nice blend of classic bossa nova and modern instrumentation.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 23 2021

Not sure if it’s my favorite album of theirs, but solid.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Apr 26 2021

Very enjoyable. Some caricatural style metal, but also some surprisingly nice riffs. Up there with master of puppets.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Apr 27 2021

A weird hodgepodge, with some beautiful and some pretty bad taste stuff.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Apr 29 2021

Meh, I don't really get it.

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 30 2021

Darn good album.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions

Boring.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 06 2021

It’s really not that bad, but for some reason I really don’t enjoy it.

May 11 2021

Seems very good. Definitely worth another listen.

Arrival by ABBA
May 12 2021

Not my style, but well done for sure.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
May 13 2021

This album is very loud and not very subtle. Found other better stuff albums him though.

Odessa by Bee Gees
May 14 2021

I only knew the disco Bee Gees, but this is surprisingly good.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
May 20 2021

Nice voice and delivery. The beats did not age well.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 21 2021

Many great songs. Highly energetic.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 26 2021

Some nice songs, it sounds good, not super enjoyable though.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 27 2021

Sounds pretty good and original, but a bit repetitive.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
May 28 2021

Masterpiece.

Poppy and grungy. All right.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 09 2021

I knew Lonely Boy, now I’m really curious about this band.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jun 10 2021

Weird hodgepodge of drum and bass with easy listening, with voice samples to not get bored, meh.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 11 2021

It sounds almost comical.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Jun 14 2021

Very nice beats, can’t believe I never listened to this band.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 15 2021

Very cliché but not bad.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jun 16 2021

I thought I would like it more since I like this style of music and this is their most famous album, but not really unfortunately.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jun 17 2021

I was expecting more polyrhythms, but overall it’s quite nice.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Jun 22 2021

Oh man, this thing aged badly.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jun 24 2021

Didn’t know Tim Buckley and it’s very good.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 28 2021

Masterpiece.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 01 2021

Not bad but is there anything remarkable?

Jul 05 2021

Some good songs, some less interesting.

Interesting but not really enjoyable.

Jul 09 2021

Not sure why but I find zero pleasure listening to this.

Oct 29 2021

Christian country music, not super interesting musically.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 03 2021

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 05 2021

I never listened to their first album but it sounds pretty cool.

Tical by Method Man
Nov 10 2021

Very nice, although not as good as some Wu Tang members solo albums.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Nov 11 2021

Not horrible bad taste, but not amazing neither.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 15 2021

Great album throughout.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Nov 16 2021

Nostalgia maybe? There are some really good tracks in there.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Nov 17 2021

Basic drum patterns and whiny voice is really not my thing.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Nov 18 2021

Didn’t enjoy this one that much, but I feel I might enjoy it more with time.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Nov 19 2021

Better than what I had heard from him.

Synchronicity by The Police
Nov 22 2021

Not a style I enjoy listening to, but not that bad.

Very very nice, need to listen to it again.

Debut by Björk
Nov 26 2021

A personal favorite.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 31 2024

I guess it's influential industrial punk, but it's not enjoyable nor interesting to me.

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 05 2024

I probably never listened to this album fully before. It's pretty good, but not as good as I hoped.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 06 2024

Pretty cool album, but not sure I'll get back to it.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Feb 07 2024

I remember liking their first album, but I don't like this one.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 08 2024

Best discovery so far. Sounds like Damon Albarn from Blur.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 09 2024

An all time favorite of mine.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 13 2024

Nice, although I don't particularly enjoy this style.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Sep 16 2024

I thought of them as a one hit wonder, but it's actually a very nice album.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Sep 18 2024

Best artist and album discover so far. Really really nice.

S&M by Metallica
Jun 19 2026

Probably amazing if you’re a fan, but I probably prefer the original songs.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jun 20 2026

Very nice album, still great listen to.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jun 21 2026

I should probably listen to more music like this, very nice.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jun 23 2026

I doesn’t sound horrible but I don’t enjoy listening to this kind of music.

Nixon by Lambchop
Jun 24 2026

The instrumentation sounds a bit like Tortoise, not bad at all. Not a fan of the singing style.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jun 25 2026

Not as nice as other Willie Colon albums I knew, but very nice nonetheless.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 26 2026

Nothing bad about but not very exciting to me

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jun 27 2026

It's a nice album, although I didn't find it memorable.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jun 28 2026

Once I got into it, I actually really enjoyed it.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 29 2026

Very different than what I knew from them, pretty good.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jun 30 2026

I did not know this album, but I love it as much as the others.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jul 01 2026

It might have been groundbreaking at some point, but I don’t think it aged really well.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Jul 02 2026

Much more experimental than her most famous albums. Very nice, will have to revisit.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jul 03 2026

I had no clue she made music like this at the beginning of her career. It’s a weird pre-Spice Girls style that I have difficulties appreciating.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jul 06 2026

Did not love the whole aesthetics of this album. Felt a little bit like the Chemical Brothers, but with a lack of style and with weird mixes of dub, etc.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jul 07 2026

Classic album, great voice, songs and jazzy arrangements.

Technique by New Order
Jul 08 2026

Wow, I don’t know New Order much, but I loved this album. Incredible mix of eurodance and traditional pop.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jul 09 2026

Not bad, but it has this AC/DC vibe I don’t really like.

Jul 11 2026

I was aware of this album but never listened properly. I understand better why people have very high opinion of it. At times it sounds like Nirvana, REM, etc.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 12 2026

This was literally everywhere back then. A few classic songs, but many others are less memorable. Not that amazing in retrospect, but slightly biased due to nostalgia.

21 by Adele
Jul 13 2026

I knew 3 songs from it, the whole album is good, despite not being my cup of tea.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jul 15 2026

Damn, that’s one hell of a weird album. Quite enjoyed it though.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jul 17 2026

Not very interesting to me.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 18 2026

I really don’t know what to think about it. It’s original, it has one big hit song, but I don’t think I love the singer’s voice and the overall stylistic choices.

25 by Adele
Jul 19 2026

Maybe even better than 21. Not as many hits, but more interesting lyrics.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jul 22 2026

I only knew Fame from this album. Very nice songs with a nice sax vibe.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 23 2026

It sounds OK but it did not speak to me.

The White Album by Beatles
Jul 25 2026

Incredible album. Not giving it a 5 stars because I don’t love every song. It could have been a single album instead.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jul 26 2026

I really did not connect to this one.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jul 27 2026

Such a weird mix of styles, very confusing and not really nice.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 28 2026

I like the fact that it is very experimental, with instrumental tracks, etc. However, it feels a bit short of good content for a full album.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jul 29 2026

Kind of jazzy and nice, not bad.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jul 30 2026

A complete blind spot of mine. Very poppy, but somewhat kind of indie. Very nice surprise.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jul 31 2026

I find the covers a bit weird. Classic 80s clean sound and jazzy sax, good vibes.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 01 2026

Some really good songs, very nice.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Aug 02 2026

I’m a sucker for this album, although sometimes I think it’s a pile of hipster bullshit.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Aug 03 2026

I have weird feelings about this one. Some nice songs, but also feels fake.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Aug 04 2026

Not bad, but feels a bit played out.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Aug 05 2026

I kind of like this kind of music, but it misses some cool factor. Too many love lyrics and too clean.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Aug 08 2026

I like her voice but it all feels loud and monotonous.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Aug 10 2026

The part I like the most is actually Gary Burton's vibraphone. Pretty nice mix of genres.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Aug 11 2026

Classic grunge album.
