Popular Reviews

Take Me Apart by Kelela

an average modern R&B album. The production is nice

I don't have that many thoughts about this. There isn't anything that really sticks out to me as memorable (outside of sweet dreams but i think that's just because it's famous) but I don't think that it's doing anything particularly bad either. Middle of the road for me. 2.5/5

fantastically smooth and sensual. impossible not to get into the mood while giving this a listen

Risque by CHIC

starts off especially strong with Good Times, although i think it overstays it's welcome by a couple of minutes. while each song was extremely groovy it suffers from being quite repetitive. The runtime is quite short though which keeps the good times rolling without bearing too hard on the listener. 3.5 to a 4/5

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jun 22 2021

It definitely sounds like "raw power" Extremely loud, noisy, you can easily feel every single sound. The vocals like very raspy, kind of demonic? animalistic is probably the word that I'm looking for. Very noticeable on penetration. Not the biggest fan of I need somebody. I'd give it a 4.5/5

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 24 2021

not my kind of music but it's undeniably high quality.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 25 2021

catchy, fun, albeit simple. A nice short and sweet listen with no filler, solid 7.5-8/10

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 29 2021

Nonstop rock from start to finish. Insanely iconic introduction and closer but the meat and bones hold their own for the runtime. 4.5 to 5/5

Jun 30 2021

fantastically smooth and sensual. impossible not to get into the mood while giving this a listen

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 30 2021

fantastic show of technical ability and groovy songwriting. iconic for a reason.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Aug 01 2021

i think the first song is fantastic but i quickly lost interest for the vast majority for the rest of the album. the songs were not bad but did not do enough to garner my full attention. the runtime is quite short though which makes it relatively acceptable. 2.5 to a 3/5

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Aug 03 2021

great atmosphere, progressive futuristic spacey mood with seamless transitions between songs to make one cohesive experience. Didn't completely blow me away (most likely because i've already listened to so much modern electronic music) but it's easy to get sucked into the world of this album and it's creation is truly impressive. 3.5-4/5

Harvest by Neil Young
Aug 04 2021

aside from a man needs a maid and there's a world this album is phenomenal.

I really do not like the singers voice. everything else is fine albeit a little generic if i'm honest

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 10 2021

nice to listen to but a little too simple

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Aug 14 2021

fantastic atmosphere, unfortunately doesn't do too much else that's notably interesting. 3-3.5

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Aug 16 2021

i appreciate the ideas but i find it falls flat for most of the runtime. 2.5-3/10

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Aug 17 2021

it's quite boring to be honest. the instrumentation is alright, everything to do with the vocals is not though. the lyrics are delivered in a way that you would expect to be loud but it's often drowned out by the instrumental. i don't like the effects they put on their vocals, it adds nothing and only makes it harder to understand what they're saying. I think if it weren't 20 songs it would be pretty decent but listening through the entire runtime back to back grows quite tiring as there's very little variety or points of interest. I do like sabotage though 1.5-2/5

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 18 2021

the guitar playing on this is immaculate but i'm not super interested by the vocals. still very relaxing to listen to
