Popular Reviews

1989 by Taylor Swift

I hate Taylor Swift. This did not change that. In fact, all it did was make me hate myself more for listening to it.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos

Tori Amos is like Sarah McLachlan with an okay voice, instead of a great voice.

Nov 09 2021

While I hadn't listened to this whole album before, I knew the singles off of it. It was okay, but the singles were the high point.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 10 2021

I wouldn't call myself a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, but I know a couple of their albums alright. Nothing here stood out compared to their other stuff.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Nov 11 2021

Not bad. Can see how it was revolutionary for its time.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 12 2021

I hate Taylor Swift. This did not change that. In fact, all it did was make me hate myself more for listening to it.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Nov 15 2021

It's no Dark Side, but it's still pretty good.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Nov 16 2021

Kanye before his out of control ego, and all his BS. Somehow, this is Kanye at his most humble. It's a solid album, but somehow not his best work.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Nov 17 2021

I never really got the appeal of Alice Cooper. Just doesn't make sense to me.

Nov 18 2021

I was ten when Kurt Cobain died, and I didn't see what all the hubbub was about. Why were people crying about the death of someone they didn't even know. All these years later, I have more of an understanding of why his music was so loved. They'll never be my favourite band, but I can at least appreciate them for completely changing the face of rock radio away from the garbage that gained popularity in the 80's. Also, props to them for not playing Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 19 2021

I hadn't really heard much of their stuff beyond the well known singles. Not bad.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Nov 22 2021

I think I like his older stuff better. This album was a bit too spoken word for me.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 23 2021

Can't say I'd ever listened to Buddy Holly before. He sounded a lot more rock and roll than I expected. Then again, that's probably because I expected him to sound more like Weezer... so I blame Rivers Cuomo.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Nov 24 2021

Tori Amos is like Sarah McLachlan with an okay voice, instead of a great voice.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Nov 25 2021

Never heard of them before. Really solid album.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Nov 26 2021

I didn't care for this. Not my taste in music at all.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Nov 29 2021

Pretty good album. I've always thought ELO doesn't get enough recognition, but this was the first time I've listened to a full album

Debut by Björk
Dec 01 2021

I've listened to this album many times already. It's still her third best album though.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Dec 02 2021

Not really my type of music. Boy did that just go on and on though.

Eagles by Eagles
Dec 03 2021

Knew some of the songs. Bunch of classics. The rest though, meh.

Dec 06 2021

Really enjoyed this album. I hadn't heard of them before, so that's always fun.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Dec 07 2021

Generally, I know him as the old dude that likes weed. Now I know him a bit better as a musician. This was an okay album.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Dec 10 2021

This was very much a product of it's time. A lot of albums on this list sound timeless, but this sounds like someone in 1993 making an album of what it's like to make an album in 1993. It might have been revolutionary or mind blowing at the time, but now it sounds VERY dated.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Dec 13 2021

It was okay, I guess. A bit more normal than I'm used to from LCD Soundsystem.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Dec 14 2021

To me, it seems like where Radiohead would've ended up had they not embraced their experimental side.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 16 2021

Some classics on here, ruined by sounding very very 80s.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Dec 20 2021

A band I had never heard of with a really solid album. If you had told me it came out 3 years ago, I'd have believed you. Definitely didn't sound like it came out in 1979.

Kid A by Radiohead
Dec 21 2021

I know this album incredibly well already. It's a Radiohead classic that took them from being a good rock band, to being an incredible band.

Garbage by Garbage
Dec 31 2021

A classic, to say the least.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 03 2022

I don't think I'll ever get the hype behind the Beatles.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 05 2022

It's Pearl Jam. Not much else to say about it. I knew what I was getting into.
