Popular Reviews

American Beauty by Grateful Dead

Overall, it was an enjoyable album. Some songs seemed to drag a bit. Wren danced to every song. Mostly on her new beanbag chair.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
May 06 2021

Overall, it was an enjoyable album. Some songs seemed to drag a bit. Wren danced to every song. Mostly on her new beanbag chair.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
May 07 2021

I hear some Manic Street Preachers in their sound. Maybe Oasis too. 70s AOR. Mr. Bungle. Turns out they are from Wales. Will be checking out more of their material.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
May 08 2021

This was one of my first CDs along with Nirvana - Nevermind, Village People - Greatest Hits, Damn Yankees - Don't Tread, Classic Queen and Queen Greatest Hits. Jim Steinman and Meatloaf never sounded better together.

OK by Talvin Singh
May 10 2021

Slow start but much of it was enjoyable. Not really my style. Probably won't listen again.

May 11 2021

I know this album well. I listen to it often. Can't go wrong with Chicago.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
May 12 2021

Each song had a familiar sound to it. Maybe I've heard Fever Ray before and didn't know who it was. My wife recognized the first song as the "Vikings" theme. Not something I'd listen to regularly but it would be good for ambient music.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
May 13 2021

Great representation of the 90s. I've heard it before but it's been many years. I'll probably listen to it again someday or possibly other albums from their discography.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
May 15 2021

So far the album reminds me of Hall and Oates. It's not terrible but not something I would not listen to often if at all.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
May 16 2021

I was never a fan of Dylan. I don't see the appeal. He may be a good song writer but not an enjoyable performer. The only Dylan songs I like are covers.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
May 17 2021

This is the first time I've ever listened to Joan Baez. I surprisingly enjoyed it. She has a very pleasant voice and impressive guitar skills. Some of the songs are depressing but musically engaging. I'll check out some more Joan Baez someday. Wren liked it too.

May 18 2021

I enjoyed it. I'm not really a big fan of live albums so that's the only real negative. High quality recording.

Copper Blue by Sugar
May 19 2021

Great 90s alt album. This is the first time listening to this band as far as I remember. Good stuff.

Snivilisation by Orbital
May 20 2021

I've listened to Orbital before but not this album. I know them from the Mortal Kombat soundtrack. It's fine for background music. Not something I'd listen to regularly.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
May 21 2021

Never cared for Sonic Youth. Not even in my youth.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 22 2021

It was a bit rough. Not terrible but not my style.

Nevermind by Nirvana
May 24 2021

Game changer.

Kenya by Machito
May 25 2021

It was what I expected. Not bad but not my taste. Quality recording.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
May 26 2021

Very much blues rock. Ok but amazing.

The Band by The Band
May 27 2021

Not much to say. Good album but not something I'd listen to regularly. I really only know "The Weight" from their previous album.

The La's by The La's
May 28 2021

Short and sweet. Good stuff. Will listen to again.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
May 29 2021

Solid album. Love it. Best lineup of the band.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 31 2021

I'm not a fan of blues rock in general but The Rolling Stones are different. I don't know why but I can always find something to latch on to and enjoy.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jun 01 2021

Eh, not for me.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jun 02 2021

Typical Costello as far as I can tell. Not bad.

Play by Moby
Jun 03 2021

Got it for free from a friend's ex girlfriend. I listened to it quite a bit.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jun 04 2021

I didn't know what to expect but I enjoyed it. I'll check out more of his work. Almost straight 70s AOR but not.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 05 2021

Love ELO. Such an unmistakable sound.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jun 09 2021

Interesting. What I expected. Not something I'd listen to regularly.

Blur by Blur
Jun 10 2021

Solid 90s rock.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jun 12 2021

Not a big Jane's Addiction fan but the album was worth a listen. Perry's vocals are a bit harsh.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jun 13 2021

Better than some of the other Sonic Youth albums I've heard but still not a fan.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jun 14 2021

Never heard of this group. I'll be listening to more for sure. Very chill and haunting vocals.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jun 17 2021

British folk rock? Interesting. Not great but not bad.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jun 18 2021

I had to look up why this album was significant. First concept album. It was good. Beatles' sound.

S&M by Metallica
Jun 19 2021

Not as good as I remember but still a great listen.

Suede by Suede
Jun 20 2021

Had to listen on youtube. Solid English rock. I don't remember much about the album.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Jun 22 2021

Chill at times. Soundscapes. Rock. All over the place. Not bad.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 24 2021

Solid Stones album.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jun 25 2021

Atmospheric. Good listen.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 27 2021

I did not enjoy it. His lazy singing made me anxious.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jun 28 2021

A bit raw. Liz is ok in small doses. Not my favorite but not bad.

The Coral by The Coral
Jun 29 2021

I don't even know what genre this is. Supposedly psychedelic. I wasn't listening that closely but nothing grabbed me. Wasn't bad either.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 30 2021

One of my all time favorite albums.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 02 2021

I'm not big on psychedelic music. It was ok.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 03 2021

No idea what this was. Not a fan.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jul 04 2021

Decent chill background music. Probably won't listen again though.

Jul 05 2021

Great post-Brit pop. Will listen to more of their work.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jul 06 2021

One of the best albums ever.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jul 08 2021

I don't dislike the Bee Gees but this album was not for me.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 18 2021

Sounds like a mix of Weezer and The Killers. Better than expected.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jul 19 2021

Good stuff.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jul 20 2021

Great if you like blues jams.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jul 21 2021

Overall enjoyable. Similar to Rolling Stones, The Who, Jefferson Airplane.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jul 24 2021

Enjoyable. One song similar to LaRoux.
