Popular Reviews

Funeral by Arcade Fire

The kind of music your friend listens to because a girl he likes told him she liked it.

Spiderland by Slint

I’ve listened to it twice and I still have no idea if I like it or not.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin

TWAS IN THE DARKEST DEPTHS OF MORDOR I MET A GIRL SO FAIR BUT GOLLUM AND THE EVIL ONE CREPT UP AND SLIPPED AWAY WITH HER

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé

It’s impossible to deny the talent behind this album, but it is very much the definition of “not for me”

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Jul 20 2021

Stand out: Super Stupid and Maggot Brain

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 21 2021

I have to be in a Thin Lizzy mood to appreciate them and I currently am not.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jul 22 2021

I don’t think I enjoyed a single song on this album

Soul Mining by The The
Jul 23 2021

Not in my usual genre wheelhouse, but I enjoyed it. Big fan of the vocals and the way the songs build up. Only song I don’t like is The Twilight Hour. Would give it a 4.5 if cowardly half stars were allowed.

Jul 26 2021

It’s got the meme song Enjoyed some instrumentals But it’s not for me.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jul 27 2021

I kind of want to give this port-punk, rockabilly, organ and yodeling, surf rock music a 4 just for being so weird, but it’s not quite there.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 28 2021

The Californication music video terrified me as a child.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jul 29 2021

Nothing stuck with me, but it wasn’t offensive. Unlike Morrissey

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jul 30 2021

Absolutely nothing stuck with me. It was like I forgot I listened to it right after I listened to it. But remembered enough to know I didn’t want to hear it again.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Aug 02 2021

P. Good 👍

The Stooges by The Stooges
Aug 03 2021

An all around enjoyable listen.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 06 2021

4 stars for the music -1 star for Ginger Baker’s hatred of John Bonham.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Aug 09 2021

Leans more country than folk which I don’t really like. His voice is kind of boring outside of the performances on Green Rocky Road and That’s the bag I’m in. The last song is an interesting departure from the rest of the album at least. Favorite songs: Green Rocky Road, That’s the bag I’m in

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 10 2021

Non offensive background music. Is this what easy listening is?

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Aug 12 2021

Possessed, he vomits up the lyrics as an exorcism is banged out in the background.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Aug 13 2021

Weird for what I think The Beach Boys are, not weird in a way that does it for me.

Aug 17 2021

I’m not really a big fan of prog outside of Pink Floyd nor do I particularly like Jon Anderson’s voice. However the bass goes bwoom.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Aug 18 2021

The kind of music your friend listens to because a girl he likes told him she liked it.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 19 2021

It’s impossible to deny the talent behind this album, but it is very much the definition of “not for me”

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 20 2021

I tried to get into Fairport Convention when I was a teen after hearing the lady that sung on The Battle of Evermore was in the band. But since they had 20+ albums and Sandy Denny only sang on three of them I was more confused than anything. I wish I had heard this one back then. Absolutely amazing.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Aug 23 2021

Elvis’ voice goes back and forth between really good and hilarious because of the prevalence of Presley parodies. Led Zeppelin already existed at this point so he doesn’t get a +1 for Robert Plant loving him.

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 24 2021

I’ve listened to it twice and I still have no idea if I like it or not.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Aug 25 2021

Generic soundtrack music that all blends together.

Arrival by ABBA
Aug 26 2021

I don’t know it’s ABBA it’s fine.

Play by Moby
Aug 31 2021

Background music that you could stick behind any moving image and it would fit. Made me listen to some of the songs he sampled.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Sep 01 2021

Doesn’t really all come together for me.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Sep 02 2021

I like the singer’s weird voice but the album is repetitive and kind of boring.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 03 2021

I like the Beatles too.

Drunk by Thundercat
Oct 11 2021

Weeb

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Oct 19 2021

TWAS IN THE DARKEST DEPTHS OF MORDOR I MET A GIRL SO FAIR BUT GOLLUM AND THE EVIL ONE CREPT UP AND SLIPPED AWAY WITH HER

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Oct 20 2021

This guy reads books

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Oct 21 2021

Really liked this. She has a great voice.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Oct 22 2021

Nice voice, generic 80s blues pop rock.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Oct 26 2021

Goes from 4 to 5 just because of Come Alive.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Oct 28 2021

Marvin Gaye can’t get lower than a 4
