Popular Reviews

Absolute classic that defines a great group of artists. Explains to you as you're listening the power of hip-hop and the connections to Eastern cinema make it a great blending of cultures and ideas into something new

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top

Some of the best biker bar music there is. Love the sound of this album, it's hard, fast, and yet still has a comfortable blues/southern rock sound that is endlessly listenable

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Apr 27 2021

So many clear influences all wonderfully blended together to make an album that is worldly and rich in its sound.

Apr 28 2021

This style of folksy music isn't usually my thing, and this album was listenable but a lot of variations on the same thing. Sin City is my favorite off the album. Overall the vocals and forgettable melodies make this an alright but stale experience.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Apr 29 2021

Another style of music I don't generally listen to but this has some really fun songs and interesting melodies. Love the more western/desert influenced song, but most of them sound so similar and are hard to really identify

May 01 2021

Heartfelt, sad, poignant, and beautifully composed. Perhaps not as earwormy as some pop-artists but a wonderful collection of emotional songs

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
May 04 2021

Some fun jams and riffs in there but probably not anything that will stick with me. Never really been interested in ska and this hasn't really changed that

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 06 2021

Extremely fun, short and sweet. Some really classic, hummable tunes and one song that everyone knows from a scene in a great movie

May 07 2021

Some fun jams and an interesting blend of styles. Don't know how much it will stay with me but Candyman is a great song

May 08 2021

Absolute classic that defines a great group of artists. Explains to you as you're listening the power of hip-hop and the connections to Eastern cinema make it a great blending of cultures and ideas into something new

Reign In Blood by Slayer
May 09 2021

Well performed but feels sort of aimless until Raining Blood kicks in and it starts to RIP. still good enough that I could revisit the whole thing

Risque by CHIC
May 10 2021

Fun disco tracks with some awesome bass lines, but might not be anything that really sticks with me. Still fun to throw on and groove out to

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
May 11 2021

What a voice!!! Amazing vocals and incredibly emotional lyrics/subjects make this a heartfelt album guaranteed to probably make you sad

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
May 12 2021

Some of the best biker bar music there is. Love the sound of this album, it's hard, fast, and yet still has a comfortable blues/southern rock sound that is endlessly listenable

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
May 13 2021

Incredible production, listening on good headphones reveals so many awesome psychedelic layers to this and it has some of the most famous and best songs of this era of rock.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
May 14 2021

Sounds like it could have been released by an indie artist last year at times. Really great production and inventive synth sound that feels ahead of its time. Lyrics on Golden Hours and I'll Come Running are my kind of sad

Pink Flag by Wire
May 15 2021

Great jams and riffs, one transition actually made me laugh out loud. Fun stuff!

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
May 19 2021

Ok riffs but boring and bland lyrics

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
May 20 2021

Pretty, well sung but not my type of country though there's a lot of talent here

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 21 2021

Boring, anthemy hipster music

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
May 22 2021

Not as good as earlier Bon Scott albums but still wildly fun

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 02 2021
Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 07 2021
Horses by Patti Smith
Jun 11 2021
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
