Popular Reviews

B-52's by The B-52's

I really hated this. While the beats were pretty interesting and upbeat, the vocals were too much. I knew I didn't like Rock Lobster, but the rest wasn't any better. One of the closest I've been to shutting off mid album so far.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello

I'm over him. All his songs sound the same. Was misled on the last album of his where I knew some hits.

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 09 2021

Big fan of this one. Only song of theirs missing from this album that I really like is Where Is My Mind. Sad we missed them at RF

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Nov 10 2021

Don't really see the fascination with Prince. Thought disc 2 was way better, but idk. Some of the beats are cool and have clearly been sampled since. Second listen through was a little more enjoyable.

Eagles by Eagles
Nov 11 2021

After listening to this I think I should have given Prince a 2. Easy listening with a couple bangers. Funny that they released a greatest hits album before Hotel California ever came out.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 12 2021

Kinda boring. They all sounded the same

Nov 16 2021

Kinda liked this more than I expected. A lot sounds similar. He has a shit load of music on spotify.

John Prine by John Prine
Nov 19 2021

This one was rough to get through. Just not my style at all. Kinda reminded me of this pedo-ish drivers ed instructor that I had who would always put on weird post-WWII americana. Dude let me skip a drive so wasn't all bad.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Nov 26 2021

Hippy punk chicks are crazy, man

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 29 2021
In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 02 2021

Got lost in the background and like 30 mins later it was still going. Pretty relaxing

Hotel California by Eagles
Dec 03 2021

Feel really similarly about this as the first Eagles album. Some high highs and then a lot of filler that didnt do too much for me

The Bends by Radiohead
Dec 09 2021

Took me a long time to really get into radiohead, but now i find myself enjoying pretty much all of their stuff

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Dec 13 2021

First time listening to Jerry Lee Lewis, but I recognized a few songs. This album was a jam

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 15 2021

So many hits on 1 album

Kimono My House by Sparks
Dec 16 2021

It grew on me throughout the album. Was pretty thrown off at first.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Dec 20 2021

Was really expecting to enjoy this more than I did. Only really know his hits

Dust by Screaming Trees
Dec 28 2021

Didn't like this one as much as Carl, but had a good sound to it.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Jan 03 2022

I know he's a popular guy but this was a little too monotonous for me.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 05 2022

pretty good, but not like his original albums

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 06 2022

Liked this considerably less than the one 2 days ago

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jan 11 2022
American Idiot by Green Day
Jan 12 2022

So good top to bottom. Jesus of Suburbia is an all time anthem. Some hugely identifiable guitar riffs throughout the entire thing

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 14 2022

I actually really wanted to like this one. But never did it for me.

Jan 18 2022

Where the Streets have No Name is one of my favorite songs all time I think

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jan 19 2022

Liked this significantly less than the last neil young album

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 26 2022

never really did anything special. did enjoy it more than the album cover led me to think i would

B-52's by The B-52's
Jan 27 2022

I really hated this. While the beats were pretty interesting and upbeat, the vocals were too much. I knew I didn't like Rock Lobster, but the rest wasn't any better. One of the closest I've been to shutting off mid album so far.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 28 2022

Didn't hate it, but didn't make much of an impression on me either

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 31 2022

I know everyone knows this but the guitar playing is awesome and clearly drives all the songs. Thing it's interesting how he has vocal outputs to one side or the other for each song

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Feb 02 2022

I'm over him. All his songs sound the same. Was misled on the last album of his where I knew some hits.

Not as good as the other bowie album

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Feb 07 2022

Decent background music. Smooth jazz

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Feb 17 2022

Feb 18 2022

thought i was going to like her more, was expecting something rockier. sad story reading about her life

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Feb 21 2022

Thought it was going to be super old school, but knew a couple songs. Overall more enjoyable than the album cover led me to expect

evermore by Taylor Swift
Feb 22 2022

i like it, her song writing is always impressive

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 23 2022

solid beats. nothing that knocked my socks off

Feb 24 2022

Think this will go against general ratings but couldnt get into it. Found it to be kind of noisy.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Feb 28 2022

bangers the whole way through.

Very by Pet Shop Boys

found it interesting. no songs i recognized but overall pretty catchy.

Cross by Justice
Mar 03 2022
Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Mar 04 2022

don't know how i felt about this one. was really nervous about it after the second song, but overall found it pretty enjoyable. definitely weird and has consistent themes throughout

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Mar 07 2022

take me out overshadows the rest of it. not unenjoyable, just not noteworthy

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 08 2022

smooth jazz isnt my thing but maybe this one caught me on the right day. thought it was pretty cool
