Popular Reviews

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean

Seriously I was just anxious for it to be over the whole time. I did not find it interesting or enjoyable.

The Predator by Ice Cube

It wasn't very interesting to me and I didn't feel it deserved much of my time or mental energy.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith

This was the most boring music I've ever listened to. I would never have listened to it if not for it being on the list. I'm sure there's a good amount of talent and skill involved in the music but I was not left with any positive feelings. I know I'm harsh but it definitely wasn't for me.

Ys by Joanna Newsom

This album is so awesome. I definitely think I'll listen to it again at some point, although I'm not sure what mood I'll be in that will drive me to it. It was the best kind of weird... Relatable but in a confusing way. Such strange music but as different as it was, it was all aesthetic and masterfully produced. Definitely a 5 out of 5.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 29 2022

I actually liked this one because of the creativity. I didn't lose interest at any point. But I don't think it was worth a 4, although I considered it, because I probably wouldn't seek it out again. I'm rating based on how drawn I am to it and in that case it is a 3. Not bad, but not my thing either. There were moments that I liked but overall I wasn't super into it.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 31 2022

It's a good album imo but just not my style. I wouldn't ever choose to turn it on, but I could see myself appreciating it in the background if it happened to be on. I like that it's soothing and reflective. I'm not really into the genre I guess.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Feb 01 2022

There were moments of this that I loved. I think I would listen to it again but it just barely made the cut. It's pretty and sweet enough to be worth some more of my time.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Feb 02 2022

So I was going to give this a 4, I really was. But that was before it went on and on way longer than it should have. I enjoyed it at first but I got tired of the same relentlessly dramatic style that felt tedious and redundant during the whole second half. Super theatrical, which would have been cool if it had ended 30 min earlier.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Feb 03 2022

Actually pretty enjoyable although there weren't any songs that totally stood out to me.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Feb 07 2022

It was fine but i didn't like it

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Feb 08 2022

This album was way more creative and unique than I expected it to be. I really enjoyed it and will probably listen to the second half again especially.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Feb 09 2022

I really didn't like this very much. I'd give it a 2.5. I didn't hate it but it was so noisy and actually pretty boring for me for most of it. Probably was creative but it all blended together for me

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 10 2022

Yeah way too noisy for me to enjoy

American Idiot by Green Day
Feb 13 2022

I love Boulevard of Broken dreams ... Idk why I love it so much but it's beautiful. The rest of the album is good but it's a 5 for the one song.

The Slider by T. Rex
Feb 14 2022

eh it wasn't bad but nothing stood out to me much

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Feb 15 2022

This was the most boring music I've ever listened to. I would never have listened to it if not for it being on the list. I'm sure there's a good amount of talent and skill involved in the music but I was not left with any positive feelings. I know I'm harsh but it definitely wasn't for me.

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 16 2022

I liked the creativity and variety

I enjoyed this album a lot... Some parts of it weren't as memorable to me but there was plenty of amazingness to make up for that. It feels very cohesive and well planned out while also having such an exciting, outside-the-box energy.

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 23 2023

Super pretty album. It kept me interested the whole time. It was intense in a very effective way. I actually thought it sounded similar to Taylor Swift (and that was my least favorite thing about it).

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jul 11 2023

Soulful, easy on the ears, sounded nostalgic! I liked the mood it put me in.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jul 12 2023

So uninteresting for most of it. It was going to be a 1 but then I liked the song "Don't Die Just Yet" way more than I liked the others.

Jul 13 2023

Very 80s feeling to me, dark & mysterious while also being a bit repetitive. Didn't think there was much variety within each song.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jul 14 2023

Beautiful & magical... There were a few songs that I really liked.

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jul 17 2023

Vibes 3/5, dynamic & excitement 2/5, difficult to find the energy to think of things to say about it.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 18 2023

Pretty hard to get through. Definitely not my thing.

Dare! by The Human League
Jul 19 2023

This was okay. Extremely forgettable but not unenjoyable. 3.5

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 20 2023

I kinda liked it, but not overly. It was an easy listen and good background vibes. 3.5

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jul 21 2023

Very mediocre. I didn't really dislike anything in particular about it, it was one of those albums that just feels disappointingly boring.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jul 24 2023

It just sounded like noise to me. I really don't like when the vocals are too chill for the amount of noise I'm being subjected to.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jul 25 2023

I felt like I was listening to an ad the whole entire time. One long ad.

High Violet by The National
Jul 26 2023

Didn't keep my interest. Nice-ish vibes but it really bored me.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 27 2023

I was pretty bored with this album. I feel very neutral about it but I definitely know I won't be seeking it out.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jul 28 2023

This got old pretty fast. Unbearably long for how repetitive it is.

Jul 31 2023

I didn't like it. My hopes were high at the beginning but that didn't last long.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Aug 01 2023

I swear like 3 times while listening to this I thought I was listening to a youtube ad and so I checked in order to skip it lol. Besides that I actually didn't mind it.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Aug 02 2023

I did not like it at all. Just all blended together and the lyrics (from what I noticed) were just dumb.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 03 2023

Most of it wasn't the most captivating for me, but there were 2-3 songs that were really good. 3.5

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Aug 04 2023

It was Elvis, what can I say? It was good but not great. I did not think there was any depth really, it was very light and very old fashioned. I did think it was fun to listen to but it's not something I would seek out except for a themed event or something.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Aug 07 2023

It was okay. I didn't really connect with it personally but it was a decent experience.

Aug 08 2023

I think this album is so cool. I love her voice and style, and the music sounds rich. Definitely feels like a classic album and I can definitely see myself returning to it.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Aug 09 2023

Super 80s of course. Kept my interest and has some pretty good songs.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Aug 10 2023

Fantastic album. It's so complete and special. I love all of the songs but today I especially was drawn to Hide in Your Shell. So good!

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Aug 11 2023

Really good vibes. It was well-rounded and sophisticated.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Aug 15 2023

This album is so awesome. I definitely think I'll listen to it again at some point, although I'm not sure what mood I'll be in that will drive me to it. It was the best kind of weird... Relatable but in a confusing way. Such strange music but as different as it was, it was all aesthetic and masterfully produced. Definitely a 5 out of 5.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Aug 16 2023

I really enjoyed it! Lots of fun and definitely worth the listen for me. 4.5

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Aug 17 2023

I liked it a lot. It was vibrant and there was a gentle, fun personality to it.

Aug 18 2023

It was cool. Felt super short and without anything super memorable for me but I liked it enough.

Sulk by The Associates
Aug 21 2023

Not really my style and nothing stood out to me as especially great but it did leave the impression of a generally cohesive, good album.

Electric by The Cult
Aug 22 2023

Super bland and one-dimensional. I did not like it. I recognized one slightly catchy song, "born to be wild"... But I've honestly always hated the sound of that song.

Be by Common
Aug 23 2023

I liked this way more than I expected to when I saw the genre. I thought the intro was great and it put me in the right mood to appreciate the rest of it I guess. I actually definitely want to return to it. So many good moments.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Aug 24 2023

Seriously I was just anxious for it to be over the whole time. I did not find it interesting or enjoyable.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Aug 25 2023

There were definitely parts of this album that I really enjoyed. It was powerful and interesting.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Aug 28 2023

This album is difficult for me to rate because I'm so familiar with it. It's between a 3 and a 4 but I did think it was a good album and maybe I would seek it out again if the songs weren't already so drilled into my mind and exhausted.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Aug 29 2023

It was good. It didn't really keep my attention and it was forgettable. I can't remember anything really standing out to the point where I'd want to listen again.

Da Capo by Love
Aug 31 2023

I liked it more than I expected to. I would be interested in revisiting it.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Sep 01 2023

I was bored almost the whole time. There were moments I felt were slightly redeeming but not many. I did think it was cohesive enough.

Music by Madonna
Sep 04 2023

I was disappointed. Seemed like she was trying to be deep but everything came off as shallow. Plus I couldn't relate to what I expect were meant to be relatable lyrics. I saw a review saying it sounded like the future... Gosh I hope not. Sounds like the past to me.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Sep 05 2023

Super fun album. I think it would have made a bigger impact if it weren't quite so long. Everything blended together for me by the end but the first half was strong. 3.5

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Sep 06 2023

Super interesting. I really enjoyed it. It made me curious about the inspirations behind the songs. I love the strangeness of it. I can't

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Sep 07 2023

Such a well-rounded and enjoyable album. It kept my interest and had great vibes. I was surprised by how old it is. It's stood the test of time so far!

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Sep 08 2023

Honestly I didn't get much out of this album. I think it just wasn't for me. I feel weird rating it too low when there isn't anything wrong with it but it didn't speak to me at ALL.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Sep 11 2023

"Oooh, while I work out, I'm going to listen to something to remind me how monotonous and repetitive it feels!" The only context I can think of where this makes any sense to listen to is while dancing or working out... And yet it would be at the bottom of my list for both of those things. Cool beats though. I think they achieved what they were going for, I just don't know why anyone would go for that.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 12 2023

I feel torn on this one because I genuinely enjoyed the first 2 tracks and was sure it would be a 4 or even a 5... And then literally every other song was meh. I went back and listened to the first song again and it wasn't as good the second time, probably because by then I was bored of the sound as they didn't really give much variety throughout the album musically, at least nothing memorable. The second song was just as good/better the second time. I'm still giving it a 4, but not the enthusiastic one I'd hoped to. If only there had been more adventurous, memorable melodies after the first 2 tracks.

John Prine by John Prine
Sep 13 2023

I'm already on the fourth song and it so far has all blended together. I'm multitasking but even so it's been most boring. I'm convinced that I will never like this genre, and that they can't ever do anything interesting because if they did it would completely change the style (which would be an improvement in my view). He sounds just like a thousand other artists to me. SO boring and repetitive. I just hate it. Okay I guess I should listen to the rest before I condemn it entirely. --Okay well that was sad. I finally thought they had a good song but the playlist had ended and it was playing something different. I know it's very mean of me to say but I just don't get the appeal and I would be embarrassed to like this music or to be a creator of this kind of music.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Sep 14 2023

Really not my style personally, but I actually did enjoy it more than I expected to. It seemed thoughtful and some of it was interesting. I did find myself pretty bored by the end though. I think for me it was a 2.5. I'm rounding up because I think it was alright compared against other similar albums, I'm just not a fan of the genre. Now a few minutes after listening I'm already very much second guessing that decision and feel like rating it a 2. I guess the parts I liked were forgettable for me.

New Forms by Roni Size
Sep 15 2023

There were a couple moments that appealed to me, but overall it wasn't great. My first reaction was horror that I would have to listen to such grating noise for so long... But it went uphill from there.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Sep 18 2023

This was such a great album! It was balanced and full of life and I would definitely listen again.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Sep 19 2023

I did not find enough redeeming qualities to make up for how painfully noisy it was. Would not choose to listen to this.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Sep 20 2023

Totally awful to listen to. There was nothing appealing to me whatsoever about the experience.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 21 2023

I don't like the style but it seems like a good album. I'm not a fan of bluesy country vibes. It was so long. I was zoning out by the end just a bit.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Sep 22 2023

After the first few songs (which I enjoyed) I found it extremely bland.

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 25 2023

Really enjoyable album! I loved the vibes and it was interesting the whole time. I was intrigued by it and now I want to check out more of their music.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Sep 26 2023

I really liked it... magical voice. I would listen again.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Sep 27 2023

So fun to listen to. There was so much to love about this album. So creative and interesting!

Gold by Ryan Adams
Sep 28 2023

Despite not being my favorite style of music, I really enjoyed this and I was pleasantly surprised. Still relatively neutral on it.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Oct 02 2023

There were some songs that I liked but there were also moments that I actively disliked. I'm really neutral on it.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Oct 03 2023

Pretty boring and lacked dynamic for me. It was the same thing the whole time, noisy, yelly, annoying

Tical by Method Man
Oct 04 2023

So incredibly boring and one dimensional

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Oct 05 2023

I liked the song "Conversation". It resonated with me more than the rest of it. The album was interesting and nice to listen to throughout.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Oct 06 2023

Chill vocals, reminded me of an album I've heard before but I don't know the name of it. It was pretty one dimensional.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 09 2023

Interesting... The first song was enjoyable and intriguing. It still isn't a go-to genre nor did I enjoy the majority of the album.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Oct 10 2023

I wanted to like it but I just do NOT vibe with muffled, noisy music. It really gets in the way of my enjoyment of the other aspects of the songs.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Oct 11 2023

Strange, unexpected concept-y album that kept me on my toes. Radio snippets with war/bomb themes, and Indian inspired style. They also threw some rap in.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Oct 12 2023

Difficult for me to enjoy for a few reasons... This style of music just doesn't captivate my interest very much. Not memorable.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Oct 13 2023

It wasn't very interesting to me and I didn't feel it deserved much of my time or mental energy.

California by American Music Club
Oct 16 2023

Boring, nothing special or memorable.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 17 2023

Hmm... Respectable music I suppose but jazz just isn't my thing.

Protection by Massive Attack
Oct 18 2023

It was kind of nice to listen to. I didn't get much depth and I wasn't intrigued or really entertained.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Oct 20 2023

Not my style of music. It really does bore me.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Oct 23 2023

What a beautiful and touching album. I really loved listening to it and felt moved by it. I totally think it deserves to be on the list and I hope to listen to it again soon.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 24 2023

Hmmm interesting. I didn't dislike it at all but it didn't particularly keep my interest. I'm not going to be seeking it out but it was nice to listen to once.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Oct 26 2023

Hmmm… likable but not overly captivating for me. I think it sounded very old fashioned in a way that I don’t love.

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 13 2023

I enjoyed it and thought the mood of it resonated with me & I'd listen to it again.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Nov 17 2023

Beautiful and magical... Especially the song "Winter".

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 10 2024

The mood of this album was a little on the sad side, and I thought it was nice enough, but I didn't really like it all that much personally. I thought it was boring, and if I were looking for a similar mood there are other albums I'd prefer over it every time.

Eagles by Eagles
Apr 11 2024

I think I'd give this album a 3.5 if I could... I did enjoy listening to it but I probably wouldn't seek it out to listen to again.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 12 2024

It stayed interesting the whole time, I enjoyed the vibes.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Apr 15 2024

I liked it more than I expected to

Apr 16 2024

The first half was very boring and uninspiring, the second half redeemed it slightly and made it worthy of a 3.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jul 08 2025

I enjoyed the music but hated the rapping. That was unnecessary and jarring for no reason. This album was slightly redeemed by having an interesting vibe and uniqueness.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 09 2025

It was pretty enjoyable, but by the end I was tired of it. The music was effective at pulling me into a melancholy, lazy, and wistful state of mind, but it didn't keep me there after the album was over.
