Popular Reviews

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan · 2 likes

5/5

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

ZZ Top · 1 likes

4/5

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

Kendrick Lamar

4/5

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

Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

Billy Bragg

3/5

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

The Pogues

3/5

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

Lust For Life

Iggy Pop

4/5

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got

Sinead O'Connor

4/5

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

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

The Flaming Lips

4/5

Cool concept album with really spacey melodies. 3.5 if I could

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

4/5

Scream, Dracula, Scream

Rocket From The Crypt

3/5

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

Pixies

5/5

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

When I Was Born For The 7th Time

Cornershop

3/5

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

Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)

Wu-Tang Clan

5/5

Reign In Blood

Slayer

3/5

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

CHIC

3/5

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

5/5

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

Tres Hombres

ZZ Top

4/5

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

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

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

Brian Eno

4/5

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

Wire

3/5

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

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

2/5

Franz Ferdinand

1/5

Ok riffs but boring and bland lyrics

Time (The Revelator)

Gillian Welch
