Popular Reviews

Aren't there more Bob Dylan albums you could have put here?

Is this a Tenacious D album?

420 stars.

Kind of like a very competent Halloween gag. Also, weirdly, I don't think I knew what Alice Cooper sounded like until this.

Not bad for the guy who threw Janet Jackson under the sexy bus. 4 stars.

The master with a cavalcade of extra guests, great stuff.

I am generally not a Radiohead fan, but this album is quite good.

Amazing. From start to finish, this album is funky, rockin' and gets you moving.

Been ages since I listened to this, but it still holds up. Very 80s, and yet still classic Springsteen.

Saw them live once, they were great. RIP Lemmy. Fantastic album.

Couple of tracks were definitely familiar, I had not heard the rest and dang if it isn't a fine album. Steely Dan-ish, of course.

Well done, not really my cuppa but interesting.

Very impressive, more danceable than I was expecting, bouncy good fun.

First side: well, that's pretty interesting and proggy. Second side: What the ... ?

Like both artists, makes sense they would sound good together. This album is lovely, bouncy and clever.

Footy! Really great album all around.

Radio Free Europe remains one of my absolute fave R.E.M. songs, and the rest of the album is equally fantastic.

Really fantastic, these guys are great, clearly they paved the way for a lot of groups who came after. I hear them in De La Soul and even a little in Digital Underground.

Meh. OK, but I like their earlier albums better.

Lovely and haunting, spare and magnificent.

A little uneven, but good and rockin', nice start to the day.

Love these guys, this album is fantastic.

Fun messy punk. A bit of Stooges and Strokes in them.

Early rocking from them, not quite as theatrical as their later work, but definitely great.

Finest band in plastic flowerpot hats ever. Really great album.

Lovely way to start the morning.

Disco folk music, as it were. Bright, shiny and happy, danceable and nostalgic.

Classic sound of SF, couple of massive hits supported by a bunch of fantastic songs.

Classic album from a country legend.

Remind me oddly a little of Fairport Convention. But if they got Jack White to play along.

Meh. Like hot food that's hot for the sake of being hot, not the flavor, this album is a lot of sound looking for a more groovy plan.

Fantastic album, psychedelic new wave, was not familiar with this band at all.

Epic.

Very polished, bouncy album.

Fantastic, groovy, a little clangy at times, reminds me of the "Frantic" soundtrack, a bit of north African trance with the tango.

Super-trippy, like late-stage Beatles but also some very Beach Boys-ish stuff.

Lush, disco relaxation music

1970s French pop is a thing, that's for sure.

Kind of like a very competent Halloween gag. Also, weirdly, I don't think I knew what Alice Cooper sounded like until this.

A sprawling, fantastic classic.

Pretty darn sex funky.

Really great, like Fairport and Flogging Molly made an album. (I know, this predates that, just sayin'...)

wow.

Nice and folky-psychedelic

Such a fantastic album, Ry Cooder is a national treasure.

A whiny discordant mess.

Bouncy, aggro punk awesomeness.

A classic. Raw, powerful, soulful. And that voice.

Better than I remember. Still prefer their early stuff more, but this is pretty good.

Fantastic, truly.

good funky grooves.

Really fantastic, has hits but also the whole album is great.

A god damn classic. "I got a 2-pack habit and a motel tan" is one of the greatest lines in a song.

I mean, you can hear the mullet loud and clear.

A fucking classic.

Pretty great. Solid damn album from the doyenne of Scottish alt-punk.

Pretty fabulous.

Pretty much a modern classic.

Sexy, bossa nova-y, good morning jam on a Friday.

Pretty 70s, pretty fun, good rock to start the day.

Such a fantastic album. Proof that anger makes excellent rock.

Really groovy and excellent.

A sprawling southern classic.

So much sprang up from what these guys did.

Bracing.

Breezy and lovely.

Orchestral rock, and groovy rock it is.

This guy again? Really? Sounds like someone force-fed him Jethro Tull and a lute.

A classic, truly.

A modern classic, much of its time but also timeless.

I tend to prefer Dylan's music covered by other artists, but this album is really great.

Pretty good for a whiney old punk.

Solid, classic electronica, and who makes the single the ninth cut on the album?

Good stuff, more bluesy than I remembered.

A classic, even if Steve Berlin's story gives me pause...

Another classic, even if Stairway is the most overplayed song in history.

Like a modern-day Fairport at times. Lovely.

great stuff!

Phil Spector is a monster, but this album is fantastic!

so good.

A true American icon.

Dylan album #27 is a lot like the others.

Loungey and weird but nice.

Always a good time.

Amazingly good, Costello doing what he does best

Groovy tunes.

Pretty good. Not compelling, but I'm not really a Cure guy.

Shame Clapton is such a massive wanker, but the album is pretty good.

Lovely, weird and entertaining.

Shame he's such a shitbird and anti-science. 1 sad little star.

Another gem of a classsic

good stuff here.

Hot! In the Hot Tub!

Good dog.

Classic walk through the 80s musically.

rocking. free.

meh.

Lovely -- and how have I not heard this before?

Pretty fun and funky. Hard to characterize, like the band, but solidly entertaining. Plus Battlestar Scralatchtica is absurdly good entertainment.

weird and funky.

2.5 stars

Bracingly good stuff to start the day.

syrupy sweet and very "discount sexy" -- breathy hooks and moans, Donna Summer did it better. But Puffy does know what he's doing, it's a solid album.

Good rocking stuff, Really fun and punky.

More Spinal Tap than I expected.

Fantastic. Great punk.

Lovely and weird, but also engaging and poppy.

Groovy.

Fucking awesome!

Fantastic stuff as always from The Dr.

5 stars

Mighty damn white.

funk-tastic!

Fantastic album, one of their best.

Groovy and funktastic.

A sprawling epic pop rock adventure. Silly, engaging, rocking, light, heavy and more.

Smooth and soulful.

A modern classic.

lovely and spare

Pretty good for stealing music from black musicians.

A perfect Sunday morning album.

Lovely, and all jokes aside he makes a fine album.

Very very very good. actually.

This is a sold 3.5 star album.

Not sure what I was expecting, but this is excellent. Jefferson Airplane and the Moody Blues had a trippy kid.

OK, not bad.

weird and meh.

Another excellent Sunday album.

A classic of quiet breathy englishness.

Elegant, folky, rocky and wry.

Oi! Oi! It's great! Oi! Oi! It's great!

Zut alors.

Pretty groovy stuff.

Really good stuff.

Wild, fantastic rock and roll.

Really good stuff, Britpop and better than Oasis.

pretty good, not stellar

very fun, punky rock and roll

Nice and mopey, but also groovin'.

So very good.

swinging!

Pretty compelling, I must admit it is not my jam but I see why folks dig it.

80s metal in a perfectly distilled package. I saw this tour, it was as glitzy and flashy and hairy as you can imagine. But this album absolutely rocks. Even manages to pull off the metal ballad, not always a sure thing at all.

weird and wonderful.

Really damn good.

Classic. CLASSIC. So good.

Spare and wondrous, rocking and reeling.

oh so very lovely

ok.

A solid 3.5 stars, maybe 4

Wild story about the guy. Dolphins? Still, pretty good album.

Like a lost U2 album.

Really soulful, lovely stuff.

Super-dope tunes.

Good shit, man.

weird but good

A rock classic.

Pretty good, and the Cheech & Chong cover is epic.

Maybe my favorite album of theirs.

OK, OK, OK, look: some of their stuff is really great, some of it is unlistenable. This is a good mix of those two extremes.

A bit flash, but pretty tight and rocking.

Soulful and clangy, like jazz should be.

A modern classic. 5 stars.

A classic song, plus a bunch of other bonkers stuff.

Always funky, always groovy.

meh.

2 stars

Pretty rocking stuff, sounds pop-sludge-y in a good way.

Solid stuff. Super creative, great beats, compelling raps.

Wonderful album, he's got a great voice as always and the band is incredible.

Wild, weird, fascinating and clangy.

Not terribly memorable, sadly.

Six stars. So good. So many good songs.

Brilliant.

super-plus good

Not really my bag.

6 stars out of 5

So. Bloody. Good. Eight stars.

Really fantastic, like Mr. Bungle with less porn and more LSD.

An extremely lovely album.

Lovely.

Rocking and rolling

A modern classic

Stunning. Beautiful and spare and amazing.

classic stones

Wonderfully 80s album.

great stuff.

Lovely music to do other things to.

This band made something new happen in a super-funky and rocking way. 6 stars.

meh, but nice.

Brilliant album, not the least because her backing band is the Dap-Tones, they combine to make a magical album.

Could not find it to listen to, but later albums are great.

Wonderful spacey and rocking.

Wild 80s stuff, kinda sounds at times like Queen, surprisingly.

Punky pop-rock goodness.

A fantastic rock-tronica album.

Smooth funky goodness

Varied and interesting.

Astounding! Great stuff.

Stunningly good stuff (and not at all surprising, this better not be the only Prince album, especially as we get 12 Dylan albums)

Sprawling hip-hop classic

Stunning, lovely stuff. Solsbury HIll is a modern classic.

new shit

brilliant

really good britrock

The king.

the best one and only one that should be on the list

Brit-rock-y goodness from Arctic Monkeys bloke.

folky and very nice. 4 stars.

Croony and wonderful, nice morning album.

One of the best albums from a couple of guys who can't stand each other.

Quirky and bold

Lively, lovely and groovy, in equal measures. Latin-country-blues-rock-LA sound-etc...

Pretty good rawk from some LA punks. 3 stars.

Rawks. 4 stars.
