Popular Reviews

OK Computer by Radiohead

First 2 songs are super cool. I love the distorted drums and bass in Airbag. Rest of the album was very interesting and even in the slower, more depressing songs I could always enjoy something about it. Quite a neat spacey style.

Play by Moby

Incredibly repetitive, though clearly purposely so. Also it's like 2 hours long, I didn't listen to most of it. It wasn't particularly interesting to me, but wasn't particularly bad either.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin

Honestly a little disappointing to me, knowing some of Led Zeppelin's other songs. Most of it sounded more like a band just noodling around in a jam session rather than well-developed songs. Also the bluesy songs got annoying.

I wanted to like it because I've heard this album referenced before and I think it was kinda new or influential for it's time. Was painfully boring for me to listen to.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 28 2021

Mother Stands For Comfort is probably my favorite from the album because of the weird instrument sounds. However I wasn't a fan of Waking the Witch and the songs after that.

Mar 29 2021

The songs have very full, lush arrangements, but sometimes it was too noisy for me. Definitely had some neat ideas though, such as the first song which was almost similar to a classical canon in that it kept layering more voices to the arrangement. The vocal style kinda reminded me of the Beatles. Overall not my type of music though...

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 30 2021

My faavorites from the album are Stop, been Caught Stealing, and Of Course. I don't love the singers voice, but the songs are quite groovy, and I especially like the klezmer-style violin in Of Course.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 31 2021

Album cover: 5/5 Grooviness: 5/5 Singing: 2/5 (I wasn't a huge fan of his voice and lyrics weren't that interesting to me) Had some nice jazzy solos and electric organ. Your Gold Teeth was my favorite song. I didn't like the second half of the album as much though.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Apr 01 2021

Has some nice slap bass. I was a bit disappointed there wasn't any electric organ and that a lot of the songs just faded out at the end, but it was still a good album overall. Games was my favorite song.

Phrenology by The Roots
Apr 05 2021

I listened to a bit and it wasn't my thing. Sometimes I can appreciate rap when the background music is more interesting and I can better understand what they're actually saying, but this didn't really have that.

White Ladder by David Gray
Apr 06 2021

Ugliest album cover ever. The music wasn't much better in my opinion, too slow and sad sounding

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Apr 07 2021

It has a Jiu Jitsu song (Epic)!! The nostalgia factor automatically gives it +1 point for me. The audio mixing sounds kinda odd to me and I can't hear the singing as well as I would like, and it's a bit overwhelming. Underwater Love and Epic were my favorites.

Apr 15 2021

I liked the crunchy guitar tone and the singer's voice. There was also some cool intentional out-of-tuneness in Stop Breathin... rather creative.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Apr 24 2021

Just too weird and random. It seemed like they had to give every song some weird intro with a person talking or odd sound effects. Some of the songs were kinda groovy but a lot of the songs sounded the same and there was also 4 song covers which is a little odd.

Leftism by Leftfield
Apr 25 2021

Kinda boring and repetitive. Sounded like spy techno music you hear at laser tag places.

Apr 30 2021

None of the songs really did anything for me. It was kinda slow and boring, and had weird, random "avante-garde" parts that I didn't like.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 01 2021

I like the song Born To Run (partially just because it's the only one I kinda knew already), but I'm honestly not a huge fan of Springsteen's voice for some reason. I also like Meeting Across the River.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
May 03 2021

I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. Who knew sitar and synths would sound so good together?

Sea Change by Beck
May 04 2021

I like the strings in the album. Overall a little slow but not mad.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
May 06 2021

For country, it was a little more bearable than I expected. The main singer has a nice voice, but I don't like when the guy singer joins in.

Boston by Boston
May 07 2021

I liked it, especially the use of electric organ. And the bluesy song was less stereotypical than most blues songs which I appreciated.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
May 08 2021

I wasn't really a fan of the singer's voice and nothing stood out as particularly interesting for me.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 09 2021
Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
May 10 2021

Not bad, but not good. Forgettable.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
May 12 2021

Not what I'd typically listen to, but I really enjoy the sound of the hammered dulcimer.

Smash by The Offspring
May 13 2021

The talking in the intro makes me a little uncomfortable. Overall a little too intense and repetitive-sounding for my taste.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
May 15 2021

A lot of the songs were blocked on Spotify for some odd reason. The few I heard weren't bad but wasn't my style.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
May 18 2021

It was a little too repetitive for me. I prefer Kind of Blue.

May 22 2021

Not nearly as hardcore as I was expecting, though I'm glad.

May 26 2021

Uh... not my thing. Old rap and hip-hop always sounds kinda funny to me though.
