Popular Reviews

1989 by Taylor Swift

I already have this album added to my library, and what a fantastic album it is! The entire record is filled with pop hits that were very popular when it came out, and rightfully so. The songs are catchy, Taylor’s vocals are amazing, and the overall production is great! This album is so much fun and with so many hits, and basically no duds, it’s very hard to pick a favorite! I know Taylor Swift can be somewhat polarizing, but I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this album open-mindedly and genuinely believe that it’s bad. In fact, I would venture as far as to say this is an almost perfect pop album! 5/5

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey

I am not a fan of Morrissey at all. Two of his albums now that I didn’t enjoy.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson

Really enjoyed this! The interludes in between practically every song was something I hadn’t seen before, but I thought it fit the flow of the album. Really enjoyable!

The Stranger by Billy Joel

Amazing classic album! Fav tracks include Vienna, Movin’ Out, and Only the Good Die Young! However, each track was great and very enjoyable!

Scum by Napalm Death

Couldn’t finish it. I’m not a fan at all of this type of heavy music.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Mar 21 2021

Surprised I haven’t listened to this before. There wasn’t a bad song on the album. Really good!

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 22 2021

Not the genre I was expecting from the album cover. I really enjoyed a couple of songs, the rest weren’t bad, just not my cup of tea.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Mar 23 2021

Really good album. Some songs reminded me a bit of Science Fiction Double Feature in Rocky Horror. Overall, really enjoyed it.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Mar 24 2021

The only Talking Heads song I had heard before this was Psycho Killer. I wish I could give it 3.5 stars. It’s good, not good enough to be a 4, but I also can’t give it a 3.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Mar 26 2021

It was good, but nothing special.

Scum by Napalm Death
Mar 29 2021

Couldn’t finish it. I’m not a fan at all of this type of heavy music.

The Visitors by ABBA
Mar 30 2021

This album, by Swedish Pop Sensation ABBA, is amazing, as all ABBA albums are!

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Mar 31 2021

Very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this album!

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Apr 08 2021

Really enjoyed Miss Chatelaine, but that’s about it.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Apr 11 2021

I had listened to this album before. Loved it!

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Apr 12 2021

Her voice didn’t really sound good, so I couldn’t finish it.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Apr 13 2021
Faith by George Michael
Apr 15 2021
Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Apr 17 2021

The instrumentals were great, so I’ll rate it off that. Probably wouldn’t listen to it again though, since there aren’t lyrics and I prefer my music to have lyrics.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 20 2021

Already had this album added. Love it!

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 26 2021

It was objectively good, but I’m not a huge fan of this type of folk.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Apr 28 2021

It was okay. I enjoyed the instrumentals. The lyrics were interesting, but didn’t really connect with the album that much.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 29 2021

Not usually a fan of electric type music, but these beats were amazing! Love the psychedelic rock mix! Fav track was “Block Rockin Beats”

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Apr 30 2021

I had always heard that Bowie was amazing, but I was kind of disappointed with this project. It was okay, not bad, but nothing special.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 01 2021

Really enjoyed this album! Was kinda surprised by how much I enjoyed it actually!

Tago Mago by Can
May 02 2021

I enjoyed the sort of psychedelic-funk vibe it had. Didn’t like it enough to add to my library, but I did enjoy it.

Roots by Sepultura
May 03 2021

Pretty solid metal with a cool Brazilian influence!

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
May 04 2021

As expected, Ella was fantastic on this album! Classic songs from top to bottom that were all amazing! (Listened to the highlights version, not whole three hours)

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
May 05 2021

Pretty solid classic rock album. Pretty great tracks with my absolute fav track being “No More Mr. Nice Guy”, which I have known before this listen. Was pleasantly surprised by many elements as well, like the piano in “Mary Ann”. Final track “I Love the Dead” was super fun too. Overall, I really enjoyed this!

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 06 2021

Amazing classic album! Fav tracks include Vienna, Movin’ Out, and Only the Good Die Young! However, each track was great and very enjoyable!

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 07 2021
Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
May 08 2021

It was good for what it was: chill trip hop/acid jazz beats. I just don’t listen to this type of music, so I wasn’t a huge fan.

Garbage by Garbage
May 09 2021

Pretty good alt/pop rock. Fav tracks were Queer, Only Happens When it Rains, and My Lover’s Box.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 11 2021

Not the type of music I expected from the album cover. I thought it would be kind of like NFR! I guess, soft songs with nice pianos. Instead it was more of a rock album. It was pretty good, a lot of tracks I enjoyed. However, it’s pretty long. Overall, I probably won’t ever listen to it again, but I did enjoy it today.

Face to Face by The Kinks
May 12 2021

Wasn’t very impressed by this album.

The Undertones by The Undertones
May 13 2021

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought! I usually don’t dig the original punk bands so much, this was a great album!

1977 by Ash
May 14 2021

I enjoyed this. It was slightly above average, but not good enough for 4 stars.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
May 15 2021

Usually not a huge folk fan, but I really enjoyed this album!

Bad by Michael Jackson
May 18 2021

Already have this album in my library. Fantastic! Obviously, a classic!

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
May 19 2021

The instrumentals were fine, but I wasn’t a fan of the vocals.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 20 2021

As to be expected by The Temptations, this album was fantastic. Not perfect, but still amazing.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
May 21 2021

It was better than I thought it was going to be. Sounded kinda like Led Zeppelin mixed with Bluesy Folk? I enjoyed it, but probably won’t ever listen to it again.

The White Album by Beatles
May 22 2021

Pretty good album, but it was way too long.

May 23 2021

Great metal! Had only listened to “Walk” by them before this and I loved this album!

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 24 2021

I usually don’t like Live albums, but I actually enjoyed this one!

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 25 2021

Pretty great Jazz! Can definitely see myself putting this on while studying or cleaning.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 26 2021

I love these 50’s jazzy pop albums! So good!

Dare! by The Human League
May 28 2021

It wasn’t bad, I just wasn’t a huge fan.

Vivid by Living Colour
May 29 2021

I really enjoyed Cult of Personality, mostly since I already know the song, and that’s about it.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
May 30 2021

It was okay. Didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it.

Leftism by Leftfield
May 31 2021

Wasn’t a fan of this at all.

Jun 01 2021

I liked it at first, but the gimmick got old quick. The jazz instrumentals were great. The vocals were hit or miss.

The Score by Fugees
Jun 02 2021

Already have this album in my library. I love it! Great R&B Album. Too many favorite tracks to name. Unfortunately not a 5 because of a track or two that doesn’t hit as hard, but definitely a 4.5!

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 03 2021

KISS is a weird and polarizing band. There aren’t many bands that I have heard people talk about in such extremes. So many people love them, but a great amount hate them too. I, myself, never really listened to them much. I had heard their super popular singles like “Detroit Rock City” and “Rock and Roll All Night”, but that was about it. This was my first full length album of theirs and it was a weird experience to say the least. It started off strong with “Detroit Rock City” and “King of the Night Time World”. Then, it took a huge dive with God of Thunder, and despite songs like “Sweet Pain” not being horrible, it still didn’t quite recover until “Shout it Out Loud”. After that, “Beth” was fantastic, but “Do You Love Me” didn’t do it for me. I don’t even really know the point of “Rock and Roll Party”. It was weird and didn’t add anything at all except waste a minute of my time. So a couple fantastic songs, one or two okay songs, and a good chunk of material that was either bad or pointless. Like I said, weird album from a weird band. All in all, 3/5.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jun 04 2021

I am not a fan of Morrissey at all. Two of his albums now that I didn’t enjoy.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 05 2021

I don’t know if it’s just the two albums of his that I have gotten on here, or just his music in general, but from what I have heard Bowie is super overrated! I mean he has a few good songs here and there, but I find it difficult to get through a full album of his. His music isn’t the worst thing in the world, nothing I have heard from him is a 1/5, but I just don’t get the hype at all. His last album I was given on here was very average, a 3/5. This one was worse: 2/5.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jun 06 2021

This band reminded me of an amalgamation of a bunch if different bands. This album was very good, I really enjoyed it!

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jun 07 2021

I expected a lot of this album going into it, after all it is considered fairly legendary. I wasn’t disappointed necessarily, but it definitely didn’t live up to the hype. Overall, it was pretty average, save a couple songs like superstition. Because of that, regardless of it’s inability to live up to the hype, it was still a pretty good album. 3.5/5 so I’ll give it a 4.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jun 08 2021

Although it was a fairly fun listen, it didn’t “wow” me or elicit any real emotion. Not bad by any means, but nothing special.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 09 2021

When I first saw it was only four song, without checking the time length, I assumed it was a fairly short EP. Then, before I knew it, I had listened to almost an hour of some pretty groovy jazz. Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would (especially since the album cover is less than appealing). Not going to add it to my library as I don’t imagine I will ever listen to it again, but it was definitely a great album. 4/5.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jun 10 2021

Already had this album added to my library. Such a classic! So many greats songs, my favorite being the cliché “Pour Some Sugar on Me”. Something about it that isn’t necessarily a 5, but still very solid!

Teen Dream by Beach House
Jun 11 2021

Super chill and relaxing!

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jun 12 2021

Really enjoyed this! The interludes in between practically every song was something I hadn’t seen before, but I thought it fit the flow of the album. Really enjoyable!

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 13 2021

Hadn’t listened to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel before this except for a few hit singles. I didn’t think I would enjoy this too much for some reason, but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was!

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jun 14 2021

The album cover is super trippy and fun! The music was pretty forgettable.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jun 15 2021

Going into this album, the only thing I had heard from them was “Time of the Season”. I had initially heard it as a sample on the Eminem track “Rhyme or Reason” which I had really enjoyed because of The Zombies song on it, not so much because of Eminem. I first found out that it was a sample today actually (6/13/21) when I saw the Cruella movie in theaters, which it is in, and I have been listening to it all day since! So, “Time of the Season” was my favorite track on this album, however the race was very close. This whole album was fantastic and so much fun to listen to! I love the vibe of these guys and will definitely be listening to more of them now! 4/5.

Jun 16 2021

Better than the last album I had by the Kinks. It wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t horrible to listen to by any means.

Quiet Life by Japan
Jun 17 2021

Synth/art pop stuff like this isn’t really my thing, but I can appreciate it for what it is so a 2.5 leaning to a 3.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
Jun 18 2021

This was very enjoyable! Sometimes I felt as if the vocals were a bit shadowed by the overbearing instrumentals, but other than that it was perfectly fine.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jun 19 2021

I really wanted to like this album, but I just couldn’t get into it. Her vocals were good, but the overall sound of the album just didn’t quite work for me.

Jun 20 2021

When the first track hit I wasn’t too sure about this album. It wasn’t bad, but I also wasn’t really enjoying it. The second was a lot better and the album overall wasn’t horrible, but it just wasn’t for me. I will say though, it’s a good thing this album was short. Right now I give it an average 3/5, but that would surely go down had it been any longer.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Jun 21 2021

I thought this was a pretty fun listen, but I sadly didn’t enjoy it enough to add it to my library.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 22 2021

Really enjoyed this album and the whole atmosphere it gives off! Super fun experience!

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Jun 23 2021

I had never heard of this band before, but this album was super fun! The lyrics were fairly eccentric at times, but I think it added to the uniqueness of the record as a whole well.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 24 2021

Wasn’t a huge fan of this project. When I saw the cover I was prepared for some heavy music, but was taken back by how punk it sounded. Not horrible, but not for me.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jun 25 2021

I had heard the name Fugazi before, but had no clue what genre of music they were. This record was alright, but pretty average in my opinion. Enjoyed the listen, but won’t ever listen to it again most likely.

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 26 2021

For years I have seen Ramones shirts, heard amazing remarks about the Ramones, and the hype I had heard about them was so great I thought they were God’s gift to music. When I listened to them for the first time, and after this album listen now, I truly believe there may not be a more overrated band than the Ramones. Don’t get me wrong, they have a couple “bops” (pun intended), but overall I think their discography is criminally average at best. Now, I’m not the biggest punk fan in the world, but there is quite a good bit of punk that I enjoy, despite what my previous punk reviews on this site have you believe (I haven’t really enjoyed the punk on this list thus far that I have received). With that said, I think the album is a 1/5, however I will give it a 2/5 for historical importance to the punk genre.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 29 2021

I already have this album added to my library, and what a fantastic album it is! The entire record is filled with pop hits that were very popular when it came out, and rightfully so. The songs are catchy, Taylor’s vocals are amazing, and the overall production is great! This album is so much fun and with so many hits, and basically no duds, it’s very hard to pick a favorite! I know Taylor Swift can be somewhat polarizing, but I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this album open-mindedly and genuinely believe that it’s bad. In fact, I would venture as far as to say this is an almost perfect pop album! 5/5
