Popular Reviews

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso

Maybe the best cover art in history? Guy looks like a serial murderer but his music is lovely.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp

While I dont dislike this, never hearing it wouldn't be one of my life's regrets.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth

Uninspiring and frankly boring. Heard of this band but luckily I never listened before and I won't again. Kind of like deep sea fishing. Only need one go to know it's not for you. And I appreciate that.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins

Sucked. Can I give 0 stars? Guess we will see what happens. Turns out you cant give zero stars. You have to click at least one to activate the vote button. Consider yourselves lucky Cocteau Twins.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 07 2021

Skeletons and Hysteric stood out.

Rocks by Aerosmith
May 11 2021

Liked it. Last child fav

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
May 13 2021

Let's get it on is strong enough to get this off the 1 star floor, and I see Marvin knew what he had there when he went back to the well on the remix (first appearance of a remix?) Anyways, "You sure love to ball" is hilariously pornographic. Marvin gay is talented but this album made me sleepy.

Dummy by Portishead
May 14 2021

Pretty cool. Nice beats, sounds brand new. It could be sweet was fav

The White Album by Beatles
May 17 2021

Some dumb crap at the end, thought I left a 5 minute long youtube pest control commercial on or something. There are a lot hits on this album, more than i realized.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
May 18 2021

Some tasty licks, no question. With all due respect, I won't be back.

Night Life by Ray Price
May 19 2021

I loved this. Pipe smoking rocking chair evening scotch music. Gonna explore this guy's catalog

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
May 21 2021

Damaged is now in my rotation. Was pretty cool.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 24 2021

Sucked. Can I give 0 stars? Guess we will see what happens. Turns out you cant give zero stars. You have to click at least one to activate the vote button. Consider yourselves lucky Cocteau Twins.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 25 2021

A lot of hits. Easy listening.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 28 2021

Sucked. I'm sorry nick drake died young, but he said "time has told me" forty times in that first song and I not only disliked it, but I began to feel a rage growing deep inside. Had to turn it off or I might have gotten violent.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 01 2021

I liked this. Never heard of it but the seem cool. Forefathers of punk?

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jun 02 2021

Meh. Voice was a little overkill but decent late grunge rock.

London Calling by The Clash
Jun 03 2021

Never dove in before. Excellent.

Timeless by Goldie
Jun 04 2021

I like beats and drums, but unfortunately I was not high enough to enjoy this on a weekday. Maybe once murphy figures out how to sell weed in New Jersey I can come back and reassess.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 07 2021

I was excited when I saw this selection but I was very underwhelmed. Loved the first few tracks, reminded me of listening to this in like 7th grade. Mustve lost interest after that even back then, because I forgot about the numerous instrumental tracks, which were unremarkable for thr most part. Wanted some beat boxing mc'ing, and while I respect the attempt, not what I was looking for.

Kenya by Machito
Jun 08 2021

Delightful

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jun 09 2021

Eh. Probably innovative or soemthing. Not for me.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jun 14 2021

Some classics on here

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2021

Uninspiring and frankly boring. Heard of this band but luckily I never listened before and I won't again. Kind of like deep sea fishing. Only need one go to know it's not for you. And I appreciate that.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 16 2021

My old kentucky home was a fantastic finisher. Sounded like beach boys bob dylan.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jun 18 2021

Maybe the best cover art in history? Guy looks like a serial murderer but his music is lovely.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jun 21 2021

I think I'm supposed to like this but eh

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Jun 22 2021

Reminded me of Garbage, the band, though I can see if you took that statement literally. Felt like they were trying to annoy me with the droning guitar chords. I felt like I was in a kindergarten classroom and there was a constant underlying hum permeating my conscience. Thought I could hear a good song in there once and a while but couldn't find it long enough to know.. very unpleasant experience.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 23 2021

Harmless but unremarkable. Fin.

Jun 24 2021

Each track is awesome but extremely repetitive. We get it. You're mad. Still great.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jun 25 2021

Never thought twice about Tina Turner. This album is a masterpiece.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jul 02 2021

Good stuff. I'm sure I'll say that again in ten years when I listen to radio head again.

Technique by New Order
Jul 06 2021

Cool stuff. Didn't know what was coming next. I owe this album more listens

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 09 2021

Fun. Know the guy but never listened.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 12 2021

You know what, i didn't like it. Obviously imagine is an important and great song, but outside of that, if i was a Beatles fan and they broke up, I would be disappointed with this solo effort.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jul 13 2021

While I dont dislike this, never hearing it wouldn't be one of my life's regrets.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jul 14 2021

Yea, this is an important album

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jul 15 2021

Late 80s romance blues? Uninspiring. Guy can strum a guitar sure, but this was boring.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jul 16 2021

That's high school right there.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 21 2021

English Grunge? Yes please.

Soul Mining by The The
Jul 22 2021

Not bad. 80s pop. Unremarkable past that.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 23 2021

Need to be in the mood. Like going roller skating.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jul 26 2021

18 minutes Isaac? Somebody lied to you. That's a bad idea. These "poems" are too long.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jul 30 2021

Got my blood pumping

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Aug 03 2021

You know what. Not that great. These guys are whiny in retrospect

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Aug 04 2021

Excellent. Love the stones.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Aug 05 2021

I dont know what I thought Jethro Tull was, but I wasn't expecting medieval times rock. But now I at least get what jack black was doing with tenacious d, it was a Jethro Tull bit. Pretty good. But I did not like this.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Aug 06 2021

One of the worst albums I have ever listened to. I have never respected the bee gees and this lowered my opinion.

Doolittle by Pixies
Aug 09 2021

Never knew this album came out in the 80s. Love it.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Aug 10 2021

No need to skip any, very enjoyable. Love the piano rock

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 11 2021

I've heard this name before. Always thought he was a producer. Nope, just a boring jazz slug or something. Awful.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Aug 13 2021

Way too Coldplayie. Every song sounded like Coldplay. Not good.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Aug 17 2021

Not really my thing but I liked it. Weird inflection on words sounded like trolling and I appreciate that. I'm a big fan of mispronounced names.

Aug 18 2021

This album sounded sing songy, like a Broadway play. Probably what they were going for, with the title and all, but I didn't think it was their best stuff. Nick's wedding song and bohemian rhapsody both featured though.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Aug 24 2021

I have never heard the majority of these songs for good reason.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Aug 25 2021

Worse than I could have ever imagined.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Aug 26 2021

Burning Spear has the vibes.

The Slider by T. Rex
Aug 27 2021

Wasn't crazy about it but did like telegram sam.

The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 30 2021

I think I get it, but Anna just isn't my thing. Not their fault.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Sep 02 2021

Guy is good. Cant deny it.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Sep 03 2021

Our house. Underwhelming.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Sep 07 2021

I like joni Mitchell and I want everyone to know that. This was a nice easy listen.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 08 2021

Dear Nick Seed, Stop adding yourself to this album list. Sincerely, Disappointed Jon

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Sep 09 2021

Each song started okay and then I didn't like it, about 1 minute mark on average.

OK by Talvin Singh
Sep 10 2021

Awful computer noise.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Sep 13 2021

Probably not something I'll ever go back to but I liked the sound.

Illmatic by Nas
Sep 14 2021

Wonderful flows

Arrival by ABBA
Sep 15 2021

I cant do it. Mama Mia, sure fine, but thats it. That's all. My Abba cup done runneth over.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Sep 17 2021

Too sing songy. Like a children's kid bopz album. 9 people harmonizing the entire song. I know that's their thing, and hey, I think those kid bopz albums sell too. But I'm not a customer.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Sep 21 2021

Bad timing on a Monday for this cool blues jazz. Best artist name ever though ?

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 23 2021

High tide or low tide was always one of my favorites.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Sep 27 2021

Great start, flame quickly extinguished from there.

S&M by Metallica
Oct 11 2021

Cool idea in theory. In execution; sucked balls.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 12 2021

Too happy.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Oct 13 2021

I mean, not really.

Oct 21 2021

Elextronica? Gotta be honest, think rock and roll won.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Oct 25 2021

I wanted to like this 90s album. I will give it one more chance.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 27 2021

I remember Nick having this tape and the cover art of the burning guy. I remember not even knowing what the image was, just looked like a bunch of scribbles to me. And the music was scary, specifically "freedom." Reminded me of Derek's cd's, like metallica, pantera, and gwar. Obviously this is a great album, but its message has changed drastically to me these days.
