Popular Reviews

New Forms by Roni Size

There is no universe or reality in which this is an essential album. It does nothing well and is not unique or memorable. 78 minutes of the same mediocre d&b beat over and over again.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen

Springsteen has some good albums. This is not one of them.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams

generic, boring, not notable in the slightest. Let me entertain you was almost decent but I still wouldn't listen to it again.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

The Velvet Underground should stay buried. Sounds like the soundtrack to some bad romcom movie. I couldn't sleep at all lest night but this album almost cured my insomnia.
