Popular Reviews

Slipknot

4/5

This would be a thousand times better if it were mixed properly. Classic loudness wars ruining the fidelity. It's very good at what it is.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Sounds like a PSA for the dangerous of cocaine. Leonard re-establishes that he's a total creep. I hate this so much.

Orbital 2

Orbital

5/5

Solid beats, interesting progressions. Often embarrassingly 90s.

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Haven't listened to this album in years. First thing I noticed is it's a causality of the Loudness Wars. The fidelity was just awful. First half of the album is good, but then everything between Californication and Road Trippin is garbage. If you picked just the highlights of the album it'd be a 4 star album, if you fixed the audio, it'd be 5. As it stands, it's a 2.5.

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

4/5

's good. But I prefer "Something Else"

Shake Your Money Maker

The Black Crowes

2/5

Everything other than "Hard to Handle" just sounds like the most generic music ever. It's kind of impressive. I couldn't imagine wanting to listen to again or share this album with friends.

Pornography

The Cure

3/5

Robert Smiths lyrics and singing are kinda awful... but the music behind him are actually pretty great. It's not hard to see why this album is a cornerstone in music history.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

1/5

Sounds like a PSA for the dangerous of cocaine. Leonard re-establishes that he's a total creep. I hate this so much.

Let's Stay Together

Al Green

5/5

Happy Sad

Tim Buckley

4/5

Armed Forces

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

Much poppy-er then I was expecting. I feel like I'd need to listen this a dozen times to actually wrap my head around it. I think some context is needed as to why this is a "must listen to" album

Ambient 1/Music For Airports

Brian Eno

4/5

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful and serene

Californication

Red Hot Chili Peppers

3/5

Slipknot

4/5

This would be a thousand times better if it were mixed properly. Classic loudness wars ruining the fidelity. It's very good at what it is.

Histoire De Melody Nelson

Serge Gainsbourg

5/5

I would have never listened to this album if It weren't for this project. This is why I'm doing it. What a vibe this thing has.

Orbital 2

Orbital

5/5

Solid beats, interesting progressions. Often embarrassingly 90s.

The Slim Shady LP

Eminem

3/5

A lot of the album is very same-y. I don't enjoy the music as much as other hip hop artists and albums. I respect his talent, but I hate the subject matter.

Ragged Glory

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

2/5

Boring dad rock.

The Rising

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

If I were 50+ and from New Jersey, 5 stars. I'm not.

Boston

5/5

Great album
