Popular Reviews

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie

So I discovered this band last year. I don't know how I slept on them. Instant love and this album is great.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

2 Kraftwek albums in a row.... Wtf are you doing to me. These sound exactly the same. Like crap.

How does this have so many 5 stars? I don't find this groundbreaking or even really interesting. If you like the same repetitive beat, repetitive lyrics through an entire song then this is for you.

Sincere by Mj Cole

Booooring...I considered turning it off half way through the first song.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab

Agreement this was a chores to listen to. Maybe I'm just old but I can't and never really have been able to get into electronic music or whatever this crap is.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jun 15 2021

I don't get why people love The Smiths or Morrissey. I was able to listen to it without wanting to kill myself.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 20 2021

Not really my thing but I can appreciate it for what it is. I have Zappa fans in the family so I'm familiar with other albums. Have not heard this one before.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Aug 24 2021

Now we're getting somewhere. This takes me back....10 years old spinning my dads records, I have no idea who they are but my child ears loved all the different sounds. This was a favorite, I didn't get it but I loved it.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Aug 25 2021

Not my personal fave album but it's TR 🤷🏻‍♀️

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 26 2021

Aug 29 2021
Dry by PJ Harvey
Sep 06 2021
Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Oct 27 2021

Ok, not gonna lie....I didn't listen to all of this. By the second song I wanted to shove an ice pick in my ear. Fucking terrible.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Nov 05 2021

I just cannot get into this band. Even with the connection to my hometown and the rich history there....I just do not get it. It's a bit boring.

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 10 2021

Mind numbing repetitive and boring. I hope I've listened to all these shitty electronic albums by now.

S&M by Metallica
Nov 11 2021

Ok, so I knew about this album because it's one of my brothers favorite albums. I like Metallica but I just never gave it a listen. It's not bad, it was enjoyable. I probably wouldn't ever listen to it again though.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Nov 14 2021

Seriously?! A 22 minute opening song. Fucks sake, kill me now. I honestly hate this shit. Who in the hell listens to 42 minutes of boring electronica??

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Nov 15 2021

2 Kraftwek albums in a row.... Wtf are you doing to me. These sound exactly the same. Like crap.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Nov 16 2021

Ok look....it's an interesting listen...once. As much as I hate electronic, edm, drum n bass....whatever the fuck it is....Jam bands (I know it's afrobeat) are a close second. What is the point. I don't have the time or fortitude to listen to these long ass songs. I'm giving a 3 because I can see how this was influential but for the love of unicorns don't make me listen to this again.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Nov 17 2021

This is stunning...why am I late to this. 👏👏👏👏

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Nov 23 2021

Interesting, I don't think I'd listen to it again but I enjoyed it.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 24 2021

Steely Dan.. what can I say. I thought I didn't know any of their songs until I started listening to their albums...I realized I knew the majority.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Nov 26 2021

Sadly, this is really boring. I'd never heard anything besides the infamous video of his and I gotta say...meh

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 30 2021
Low by David Bowie
Dec 01 2021

Dec 12 2021

Fanfuckinhtastic! Another of my all time faves

Dec 15 2021

I swear, a lot but I'm not a fan of it in my music. And this did my head in after only 3 minutes into the album. It's excessive.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Dec 16 2021
A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Dec 18 2021

This is repetitive and while I don't hate it, I also don't live it.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Dec 19 2021

I loved the first song but the rest was just meh

Graceland by Paul Simon
Dec 20 2021

Sooooo The very first song had me saying this sounds like "you can call me Al" . It carries on and I just keep thinking g why do all these songs sound like an extension of that son..then lo and behold! That fucking song comes on. I'm sorry, I don't get the raves about this album. Its not bad but it's also not great. A solid 3.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Dec 21 2021

Oh, I am not looking forward to this. I ha e never enjoyed this band. I usually can't get past one or two songs. We will see how I fare with an entire album. About half way through, not nearly as bad as I anticipated but I can't say I enjoy it.

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 22 2021

One of my favorites. It's so much fun and it's The Cars man!

Dare! by The Human League
Dec 24 2021
Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Dec 25 2021

It's ZZ Top, it all sounds the same to me.

Kala by M.I.A.
Dec 27 2021

So while I love Paper Planes, that's how I discovered this album years ago...the rest of the album is rough to listen to. 3 for Paper Planes.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Dec 28 2021

I mean it's Thin Lizzy but I just don't like Live albums. It's good in spite of that so a solid 3

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 29 2021

My son was so into this when he was on middle school. Circa 2006, he is a strange kid. Anyway solid 4

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Dec 30 2021

Oh boy, I know this album well and while I'm not a fan of Meatloaf, I do love the occasional song. A whole album is tough to listen to though.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 31 2021
Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jan 01 2022

It all kinda sounds the same but it was still enjoyable. Great for sleeping or background music.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jan 04 2022

Yessssss, this album is easily in my top 5 fave albums.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jan 06 2022

Listened to this without knowing anything about it. Didn't even look at the year. It felt like it was 50s or 60s. Surprised it was 2005. I liked it a lot. Soothing, comfortable.

Pornography by The Cure
Jan 08 2022

In high my best friend was a huge fan of The Cure (in the 80s). I could never get into them. Over the years I've tried but still just never caught me. Fast forward to 2022 and my 27 year old son has become a fan. Fuck me, I still don't get it.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jan 09 2022

This was a brutal listen as in boring. I don't get it but me and hip hop have a love/hate relationship.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 10 2022

I'm not too fond of punk. I have a couple bands that I really enjoy but in general it tends to really grate on my nerves. This isn't too bad, I wouldn't listen to it again but I can see how it's popular.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 11 2022

Oh lord do I love this album! Solid 5, in my top favorite albums.

Roots by Sepultura
Jan 12 2022
Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson

Atomizer by Big Black
Jan 17 2022

Thos was pretty shitty.

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jan 20 2022

Well this is fucking terrible

Mask by Bauhaus
Jan 21 2022
Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jan 22 2022

This was an odd Talking Heads album.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 23 2022

T Swift? Seriously? Ffs It's catchy but it's nothing special.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Jan 24 2022

Why are there so many y electronic bands on here? Honestly put them all on a playlist and shuffle and it wouldn't make a difference! It's all just annoying sounds. Fucks sake...Im getting old

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 26 2022

This is less terrible than the plethora of other electronic albums on this list...or at I thought... Nope it went right into repetitive boring bullshit once again. I've had enough honestly. How many more do I have to listen to?

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jan 27 2022

I found this to be incredibly. Eautiful, calming, atmospheric

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jan 29 2022

I mean... this was not good

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jan 30 2022

Such a comfortable listen. Just warm and soothing, like being at grandma's house.

Closer by Joy Division
Jan 31 2022
Feb 01 2022

How does this have so many 5 stars? I don't find this groundbreaking or even really interesting. If you like the same repetitive beat, repetitive lyrics through an entire song then this is for you.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Feb 02 2022

So I discovered this band last year. I don't know how I slept on them. Instant love and this album is great.

Play by Moby
Feb 03 2022

So this is the 23rd electronic album that I am being subjected to. God help me... So.....the first 3 songs just repeat lyrics over and over.... HOW ARE PEOPLE SAYING THESE ARE BANGERS! It's so fucking repetitive I want to scream! Please tell me there are no more of these shitty albums

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Feb 04 2022

This is super weird. Vocally not really interesting, in fact, it's kind of annoying. I don't hate it.... But that's not saying much. 3 because I can see how they were influential

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Feb 05 2022

It's Missy 🤷🏻‍♀️ What can I say?

1984 by Van Halen
Feb 07 2022

Boy...this brings back memories. I was never a Van Halen fan but my brother and cousins were always playing one of their albums. This came out the year I turned 16. All over the radio, MTV..and Eddie was so cute back then.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Feb 08 2022

I've never really listened to any solo Paul Simon until this list. I knew a few songs here and there.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 09 2022

Paul Simon 2 days in a row. This came out the year I was born Many great songs. Not my favorite bit still good

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 10 2022

I received this album at 14 through Columbia house subscription way back in the day. I didn't choose it, they sent it as the record of the month. I think I listened to it once. I didn't "get it" and to be honestly I've never listened to it again. I've never really been a Springsteen fan. This should be interesting This didn't make me a fan and I'm still not sure if I get it.

Dummy by Portishead
Feb 16 2022

I'm very familiar with this album as it was a favorite of a crush of mine. I a indifferent to it on all levels.

Feb 18 2022

Oh ffs NO! How is he considered a genius?!?!? This is awful. And waaaay too much pussy talk 🤢

My grandma lived Willie. There was to be complete silence when he came in the radio lol. Good times.

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 28 2022
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 01 2022

Not my favorite album by Sufjan. I find it pretty annoying actually. Bit it's still Sufjan.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 10 2022
Mar 11 2022

So, I've heard the popular songs but this will be first giving a whole album a listen. So far, it's not bad but it didn't make me a fan. It sounds like everything else that came out around that time.

Purple Rain by Prince
Mar 12 2022

Yaasssss! I have listened to this album too many times to count. Solid fucking 5! Anyone that disagrees is an idiot

Picture Book by Simply Red
Mar 13 2022

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Mar 14 2022

So far this is boring as hell Still really boring.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Mar 15 2022

Hard to believe this album came out the year I was born. Classic rock goodness. The Weight...what can I say.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Mar 18 2022

Oh ffs...... Idk if I can listen to this One song in, can I turn it off yet? The lyrics are fucking terrible. How os this tapey nerd so popular?

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Mar 19 2022

This is another artist that I feel I should like but I just don't. Her voice annoys me.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Mar 20 2022

So, I'd never really listened to much of this band. A few songs here and there. Idk if this album will change that, it's really depressing.

Illmatic by Nas
Mar 23 2022

I made it through the whole thing but I can't say I enjoyed it

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Mar 24 2022

I wouldn't listen to this again but it was fine background music. Nothing really jumped out at me.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 26 2022
Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Mar 30 2022
Out of Step by Minor Threat
Mar 31 2022

It's not terrible but I don't like punk

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Apr 01 2022

I've never really enjoyed the Verve. His voice annoys me and this album is pretty boring. I'm giving it a 3 but it's just middle of the road. Not memorable at all

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 06 2022

No sir, I don't like it. Seriously though....the people giving 5 stars...do you even like music? It's pretentious and terrible.

Tommy by The Who
Apr 07 2022
The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Apr 09 2022

I had no idea that I liked Iggy Pop. Smashing!

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 11 2022

I've never really been a fan of Fiona Apple and after listening to a few of her albums already, im still not. She's talented for sure, it just doesn't resonate with me.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 13 2022

What can I say about the Stones that hasn't already been said. Its the Stones 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Apr 15 2022

20+ minute songs....sheesh. I'll have to try again at another time.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Apr 16 2022

I don't hate it but I can't say I like it either. It's just a bit meh. I'll probably not ever listen to it again.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Apr 21 2022

It was fine as background music while I cooked. I wouldn't listen to it again.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Apr 22 2022

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 24 2022
Suicide by Suicide

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 27 2022

Lou Reed....what else is there to say

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Apr 28 2022

It's ok, I wouldn't choose to listen it. It's ok as background music while I'm doing other stuff.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 29 2022

This was a tough listen.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
May 02 2022

I'm not a fan of his voice. It's not really my style but it was an ok listen. My son would really dig this.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
May 04 2022

So when I heard the first minute of this I'm like "oh showtunes"shortness. I go look at the wiki to see what I'm listening to, get stuck in the reviews. I'm not sure I've read better reviews than the ones for this album.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 07 2022

If ever there was a 5 this album is it! Perfect!

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
May 08 2022

I probably wouldn't listen to this again but it was really good

School's Out by Alice Cooper
May 09 2022

This was interesting listen for me as I've never delved into Mr.Cooper. of course I've heard all the hits and even like a few songs but his image put me off. It was a lot better and more interesting than I gave him credit for. Has he earned a new fan, no but certainly a new appreciation.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
May 12 2022

This was fun for the first 45 minutes but it was just too long.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
May 28 2022

Oh Zeppelin..you were my love for ages. How can I pick a favorite album.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jun 21 2022

I discovered this album as a young girl and was obsessed with it. Amazing or am I just reminiscing? It's still yhe only LIVE album that I can listen to.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Aug 01 2022

I can't help it, I love this album.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Aug 18 2022

Opening song, fuck yeah! You got me, I love this sound. The 80s were the best Era. You can fight me on that. This just makes me happy!
