Popular Reviews

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan

Honestly I can't really stand Bob Dylan, his music, and his voice.

Brothers by The Black Keys

Yeah so this type of pretentious indie rock shit is what I would've maybe been into in high school, but now that I'm older I think this music is so so boring and overdone. Besides maybe a riff here and there that's kind of catchy/interesting, the vast majority of this album felt like a waste of my time.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs

So far I hate this, it's boring AF. I don't understand why it's as popular as is seems to be, or why it's even on this list tbh.

Let It Be by The Replacements

Although I can appreciate the emotions and energy that went into creating this music, it simply is not something I find enjoyment in listening to.

Dry by PJ Harvey

Great album. I really like PJ Harvey as a rock star, because her voice really suits it. I especially love the dress song, that one's badass

The Stooges by The Stooges
Nov 02 2021

Frankly I have no interest in punk rock, so I listened to the first few songs and called it a day. This isn't a knock on the inventiveness of the band, or any of that, I just genuinely don't care about punk, or old rock for that matter

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Nov 03 2021

I honestly don't get any enjoyment out of music like this. I just find it boring.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 04 2021

Did not realize It's a Sin was on there, their sound is pretty good.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Nov 05 2021

I love Hector Lavoe so this was right up my alley. That's mainly why I like it, not necessarily because of specific songs (though the first one is a banger), but because of the overall sound. It's the kind my mom will let me play out loud in the house lol.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Nov 09 2021

I've listened to "Aja" LOTS before but haven't really checked out their older stuff, besides their first release, so I was a bit surprised at how their sound in this album. It of course maintains the cynicism of Donald Fagan's voice, which is signature to the band, but it adheres more to "straightforward" pop, like their first album. Personally I like the jazzier stuff of theirs, but this is good too.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Nov 16 2021

Not really my thing honestly. Not very interesting either IMO

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 19 2021

I love Deep Purple, especially with the classic Mark II lineup :) This album kicks ass

The La's by The La's
Nov 21 2021

This album surprised me with being better than I thought it would be. Listened to it almost three times in a day. The songs are interesting, and they didn't all sound the same.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Nov 24 2021

Did not enjoy

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Nov 25 2021

This is kinda weird ngl

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 26 2021

I mean it was fine, not really my thing. This kind of rock/country is boring to me.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 27 2021

I know most of these songs from Guitar Hero, but never heard them in good audio quality. I don't mind it actually. Ice Cream Man is creepy as hell. Plus other songs feel condescending as fuck, which I can't stand to listen to personally.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 29 2021

Already know this one, great album

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Dec 01 2021

YEAH KRAFTWERK!!! Already love this.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 03 2021

I hate this band, sorry. Not listening to it.

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 04 2021

Classic house album. Love it, 5 stars.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Dec 06 2021

She has a nice voice. Reminds me of Karen Carpenter in some of her style. There is a good variety of songs as well, most of which suit her voice.

Smash by The Offspring
Dec 07 2021

I thought this was going to be death metal lol, but I was "pleasantly" surprised.

Play by Moby
Dec 11 2021

This album is pretty good. I like the use of samples. Got it on CD a while ago.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Dec 15 2021

I like how the songs keep it interesting with having a nice variety. I also enjoy the overall low-key mood of it, without it being a downer.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Dec 27 2021
Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jan 03 2022

It's nice pop-rock I guess

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Feb 17 2022

This isn't my favorite Talking Heads album, but it still slaps

Truth by Jeff Beck
Feb 18 2022
White Ladder by David Gray
Feb 19 2022

It's kind of boring for my taste

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Feb 22 2022

Honestly I can't really stand Bob Dylan, his music, and his voice.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Feb 27 2022

Unexpectedly cool album. Based on the selections for this generator, I can always appreciate some accessibility and non-boringness.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 01 2022

This album rocks! I love the Halloween aesthetic about the whole thing. Plus the vocals, being female, make it sound pretty badass.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 10 2022

The album itself is decent, though I can't stand ACDC anymore. This review is based on what I remember of it, which is that it's boring hard rock songs about rock 'n roll and girls and sex and bullshit like that. Though the title track is pretty dope, I don't care about this band or most of their music. It gives me strong "dad music" vibes

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 17 2022

I really enjoy this album for it being relaxing but also not boring. There is also a distinct flavor to the sound of it overall, which is different from what I usually listen to and a pleasant change.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Mar 18 2022

I mean it's alright. At first I thought I was listening to a ska band HAHA. But yeah pretty good stuff, reminds me of Heaven 17

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Mar 25 2022

I can respect the pioneering work in electronic music with this album. I give it 4 stars for this reason.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Mar 29 2022

Definitely not what I expected, but I'm not disappointed. I think I'll have to give it more listens, but so far I like it.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 13 2022

So far I hate this, it's boring AF. I don't understand why it's as popular as is seems to be, or why it's even on this list tbh.

Boston by Boston
Apr 17 2022

It's accessible as hell in the best way possible. 4.5 just because

Kenya by Machito
Apr 21 2022

This was surprisingly enjoyable, for someone who doesn't necessarily enjoy jazz. I like how each song is short and sweet, gets to the point. I will definitely be listening to the album again.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 22 2022

Not really something I'd listen to on my own for fun. And honestly I find rock/pop like this boring, sorry

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Apr 23 2022

I enjoy the pleasant, soft folk music of this album. Although the song structures and such are somewhat predictable I can see myself listening to the album more in the future.

Soul Mining by The The
Apr 24 2022

Definitely not what I expected, but not at all disappointed either.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Apr 25 2022

Why is this fucking band on this list?! I would give it 0 stars if i could

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
May 01 2022
Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
May 02 2022

This album is great! Not my favorite Depeche Mode album, but definitely solid throughout

Let It Be by The Replacements
May 03 2022

Although I can appreciate the emotions and energy that went into creating this music, it simply is not something I find enjoyment in listening to.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
May 07 2022

I used to be a bigger Megadeth fan than I am now, so this album isn't as appealing to me as it once would have been. Also, there are only a few instances where I feel Dave Mustaine's voice actually suits metal, so I did not enjoy that aspect of this album. Some of the riffs were pretty good I do have to say. Otherwise it's simply not for me.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
May 10 2022

This album is depressing as hell. It works though.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
May 15 2022

It's a decent art pop album. Not my favorite Kate Bush album, but good in its own right.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
May 16 2022

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF ALL TIME AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE!!! Legitimately the best album EVER RECORDED in the history of Western music!!!! I would give it 100 stars if I could.

May 17 2022

I like this album. Somehow it has a simplicity to it that's unassuming and makes it pleasant to listen to. Also seems more straightforward than an album like Remain In Light, which I honestly enjoy more from Talking Heads as a band. There are some certified bops on this record!

Nixon by Lambchop
May 19 2022

Boring as hell

Dry by PJ Harvey
May 21 2022

Great album. I really like PJ Harvey as a rock star, because her voice really suits it. I especially love the dress song, that one's badass

Reign In Blood by Slayer
May 23 2022

This is objectively the best Slayer album. Every song is incredible, and somehow catchy. Everyone after them were just try-hard wannabes.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 24 2022

Not much of a Pink Floyd person.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 25 2022

I had a lot of hope for this, since I really like the album of theirs with "Spellbound" on it, but this one is just not hitting the same.

Metallica by Metallica
May 27 2022

I don't care about any album released by Metallica after Cliff Burton died, RIP.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jun 03 2022

I love this album, it was my first introduction to plunderphonics, and it remains one of the only albums of that genre I can stand really. I really enjoy how it flows from one song to the next without feeling whiplashed or bored. There is a part towards the end that gets a bit slow, but I don't really mind. All-around a beautiful and magical album.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jun 04 2022

This is probably my favorite Kraftwerk album, even though it is their most accessible. I just love the simplicity of every song, but somehow it's some of the most enjoyable synthpop I know.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jun 05 2022
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jun 09 2022

I hate this.

Cross by Justice
Jun 10 2022

I've liked this album for almost 2 years now. It's very enjoyable, especially as a Daft Punk fan who loves well-written house music. It's also a strong album throughout, the exception maybe being that song about partying or something.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jun 16 2022

Nowadays I just hate TS. The music is bland, predictable, the works

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 23 2022

I like this album a lot. The songs are all well-written, the kind that take a few or more listens to really enjoy and appreciate. Also RIP

Third by Portishead
Jun 26 2022

My second favorite Portishead album! There are some really good tracks on this record.

Jul 04 2022

This album was enjoyable overall, and even the slower songs which I would have normally skipped (because I'm a pleb) were of high quality because DANG! George can sing haha. Top song for me is definitely "Freedom! '90", it's such a bop. "Soul Free" is also pretty solid. 4/5 overall

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jul 08 2022

New Wave / Punk isn't really my thing, but I gave this one a shot. I find the instrumentation to be a bit bland for my taste, and nothing about the rest of this album is particularly interesting to me. Otherwise it remains consistent with the sound, so I can give them that I guess.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jan 26 2023

As is probably the case with most people, I have been a fan of Bjork's solo music for awhile now, without having listened to or heard of The Sugarcubes. I am continually impressed by Bjork's versatility as a singer, and this album was no exception. Her trademark style was present throughout the duration of "Life's Too Good", yet it maintains the band's overall sound. I especially love when she does that high-pitch scream thing, it's a bit jarring at first, but then it adds to the music I think. One issue I have with the album though is the songs kind of blend together, after the first few tracks. First two songs are bangers by the way :) Was happily surprised overall, especially because I went in with no expectations about the band, besides knowing Bjork was singing. Love you Bjork <3

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jan 29 2023

I liked this one. I can definitely see myself putting it on in the future as a sort of background music. I have nothing to say about the songs themselves because they all sort of blended together for me, but the overall mood was very agreeable to me.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 30 2023

Overall did not enjoy. I felt like the combination between "metal" vocals and rapping ruined the songs for me. The one song I knew beforehand, "Crawling", was unbearable to listen to, I had to skip it.

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 20 2023

This album is uninteresting and goes on for what feels like forever! I hated the vocals, which sounded too compressed and weak, for the genre, and I genuinely don't understand why it's on this list, or why it's revered in the music world as being one of the best albums ever. I could hardly even make out what the lyrics were, yet at the same time I don't really care.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Mar 21 2023

This one was surprising! I went into it thinking The Doors were "boring", but the album was actually pretty enjoyable for me. Besides "L'America", that song was kinda... not as nice. But all the others had not only this very specific vibe to them, as in they created a unique atmosphere I've never heard in "classic rock" before, but the songs also were written well and in an interesting way. The addition of the organ to rock music during this time is something I quite enjoy, such as what I've heard from bands like Deep Purple Genesis, and it was used much to their advantage, as it added a lot to the depth and variety of the songs, in my opinion. Even at first listen I found myself bobbing my head along to a few of the songs, because like I said, they created this feeling that I can't quite describe, but one which I quite like nonetheless. L.A. Woman is an album I can definitely see myself listening to again in the near future.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 28 2023

FINALLY!! This generator gives me an album actually worth my time. The day it was assigned to me I listened to it almost two times, the first time all the way through. And I know, it's more "mainstream" or whatnot, but I'm past the point of letting that determine what I listen to. Anyway, I felt that the songs flowed smoothly from one to the other, and it seems like one of those albums where you don't necessarily have to pay attention to it to enjoy it. The first time listen was also enjoyable, like I mentioned with the accessibility of it. However, KIWANUKA is one I will definitely be going back to. "Solid Ground" stood out to me on first listen, made me want to cry lol.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Apr 05 2023

Did not enjoy. The pseudo glam-rock thing was not appealing to me whatsoever, and I could not even finish the album :/

Brothers by The Black Keys
Apr 11 2023

Yeah so this type of pretentious indie rock shit is what I would've maybe been into in high school, but now that I'm older I think this music is so so boring and overdone. Besides maybe a riff here and there that's kind of catchy/interesting, the vast majority of this album felt like a waste of my time.

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Apr 12 2023

My second favorite Deee-Lite album, close behind Dewdrops in the Garden. I give this one an absolute 5/5, mostly because it grew on me every time I listened to it, and I realized pretty much every song is a BANGER. "Power of Love" is definitely the best track on here, although I think it needs a glow-up in terms of production. The album overall is pretty quiet and compressed-sounding. But otherwise it's immensely enjoyable! I especially love the techno/electronic dance elements.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 17 2023

I used to really enjoy Supertramp, but something about them these days feels to me very... tingy, or something to that effect. Like pop music with not a lot of backbone to it. Don't get me wrong, the best part is the songwriting for sure, but the vocals overlaying everything isn't my favorite. High rating from me however because the songs themselves slap. FUCK YEAH SUPERTRAMP!!!

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 19 2023

This album is full of Rush's most radio-friendly songs, which I have to admit I will always be down to jam to. However the band's transition from a very "proggy" sound to one that appealed to a wider audience I think is where they went downhill. I of course am biased because I'm a simp for A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres. :') Anyway same thing with Pink Floyd this whole album is dad rock, which doesn't invalidate it as bad by no means, it's just a bit too slick and uninteresting for me. If you have complaints about this take on such a famous album you can contact HR

Garbage by Garbage
May 30 2023

I listened to this album a lot in high school. I enjoyed how each song was varied in genre elements, such as hip hop vs rock, etc. Listened to it again today and my opinion on it hasn't changed much, the songs are still good. Granted it is pretty easy to like, but that's besides the point. I do have to say the album artwork leaves something to be desired, since I think they could've made some sick art, based on the overall, "edgy" style of the album. That's just me though. I do think the color pink can be cool for a rock album, I just think they could go a step further with the imagery. Despite my ramblings I went with 4/5 stars because while it is enjoyable and all that it's 90's rock album and it's not perfect.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jun 04 2023

In terms of the music itself, separate from the lyrics, I found the country sound quite soothing actually, even though I've always identified as a country hater haha. And at first I was down with the album, but once I heard what Merle had to say over the course, I realized this was just putting women down to make him and men look better. Especially when there's this reoccurring sentiment that his girlfriend owes him affection when he pays for things -- she doesn't owe you anything bud. Anyway so that pissed me off and doesn't make me want to listen to the album again. Again, musically it all worked, it's just the lyrics that ruined it for me :(

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 13 2023

Overall this album feels coherent and well-rounded in terms of the whole concept album thing (at least I'm pretty sure it is), but the particular genre of 70s-psychedelic-prog-rock they had going on back in the doesn't appeal to me. I'm also a tiny bit biased because when I hear Pink Floyd all I can think about is all the boomer dads in their 50s thinking this is the best music ever bestowed onto mankind. Mid band IMO

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jun 16 2023

Album of the summer for me two summers ago. Start to finish a complete and solid album. I'm pretty sure it got me into synth-based music. After listening to other Depeche Mode releases this one stands out as superior.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Jun 30 2023

Love Deep Purple, love this album. Will always be a classic

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jul 02 2023

I like the Mars Volta, and this band kinda sounds like them, so I can fuck with this!

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Aug 31 2023

I love this album so much, it is definitely a 10/10 all the way through. In addition to the obvious class "Superstition", "Maybe Your Baby" also made it to the top of the list of my favorite Stevie Wonder songs. What a genius.

Leftism by Leftfield
Sep 10 2023

I liked the electronic house sounds, but overall it felt bloated and unstructured. There were not any moments where I went "Hm, interesting". I was even stoned while listening to it but even that didn't help apparently. i'm giving it a three only because I'm a simp for electronic music.
