Popular Reviews

Slipknot by Slipknot

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 by Leonard Cohen

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

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

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.

Orbital 2 by Orbital

Solid beats, interesting progressions. Often embarrassingly 90s.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
May 06 2021

's good. But I prefer "Something Else"

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
May 07 2021

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 by The Cure
May 10 2021

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 by Leonard Cohen
May 11 2021

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

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 14 2021

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

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
May 18 2021

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 by Orbital
May 19 2021

Solid beats, interesting progressions. Often embarrassingly 90s.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 20 2021

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 by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 21 2021

Boring dad rock.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
May 22 2021

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

Boston by Boston
May 23 2021

Great album
