Popular Reviews

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

This album was totally out of left field for me, but wow what a good surprise. This is a contender for my favorite album on my list so far. It is an absolute masterpiece

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction

I could barely stand Ritual De Lo Habitual, but this one was slightly better. Jane's Addiction is still not my bag but this could have been worse.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush

Did not expect to love this as much as I did. Kate bush rocks and has such a unique voice with some great songs to carry it

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie

Don't get me wrong, she has a great voice, and it shines it some of these songs. But jeez some of them are so bad it really drags the rest down

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 14 2021

Not my favorite, just kind of meh in my opinion.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 15 2021

I enjoyed the album a fair amount, particularly the classics like Basket Case. Not crazy about it but objectively it is a good album.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Nov 16 2021

We got the beat is a legendary song. Could take or leave the rest.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Nov 18 2021

Absolutely slaps. Love this era and genre. Buffalo Stance is definitely the standout.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Nov 22 2021

Promising start sound-wise but they fell short of their potential.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Nov 23 2021

Did not expect to love this as much as I did. Kate bush rocks and has such a unique voice with some great songs to carry it

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 24 2021

Very middling. Ok at best.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 26 2021

This album was totally out of left field for me, but wow what a good surprise. This is a contender for my favorite album on my list so far. It is an absolute masterpiece

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 28 2021

Pretty shit tbh

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Nov 29 2021

This was really not my type of music. By the end I found it grating to the ears.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Nov 30 2021

Some ok songs, but overall not my bag. Neil Young is great, but this isn't his finest work.

Skylarking by XTC
Dec 01 2021

I'm not sure about this one at all really. I think I enjoyed it? Maybe? But also maybe not. Cool sounds but didn't love it.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 02 2021

I really enjoyed a lot of this album. Didn't really consider myself a black sabbath guy, but they impressed me.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 03 2021

I really enjoyed some of the songs on this, particularly The Champ and Three Bricks. Overall great album.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 04 2021

Honestly not terribly impressed by anything on here besides All Along The Watchtower

Teen Dream by Beach House
Dec 05 2021

I expected to like it more. It kind of sounded a bit samey to me. I really like Beach house but it didn't hit as well as I'd hoped

The Man Who by Travis
Dec 06 2021

Upon second listen I loved it much more than at first. I went on to listen to a lot of Travis' discography and really loved it. I think the band has better music on other albums, but this one was still great.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Dec 07 2021

I could barely stand Ritual De Lo Habitual, but this one was slightly better. Jane's Addiction is still not my bag but this could have been worse.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Dec 08 2021

I guess for reggae it could have been worse. Just barely.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Dec 09 2021

Weird. Did not enjoy, but didn't hate outright

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Dec 10 2021

Enjoyed it a fair amount. Nothing crazy but good tunes overall

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Dec 11 2021

Don't get me wrong, she has a great voice, and it shines it some of these songs. But jeez some of them are so bad it really drags the rest down

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Dec 12 2021

I don't care much for 20 minute songs but that's more of a side effect of modern listening habits. Overall I enjoyed it, but not crazy about it

Tical by Method Man
Dec 13 2021

I just couldn't get into this one. I was expecting more after Ghostface Killah's Fishscale, which I loved, but I didn't walk away super impressed.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Dec 14 2021

Really enjoyed this one. I think I'd heard the title song before, but not really any of the others. The name Meat Loaf certainly does not betray the quality of his songwriting, which is probably why I've stayed away so long.

Headquarters by The Monkees
Dec 16 2021

I like the Monkees. Turns out I really like their greatest hits. The rest of this is by no means bad, but just didn't hit right with me. (To be fair, I didn't listen to every single song on this LONG album)

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 18 2021

Enjoyed quite a bit. A great, easy listening album

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Dec 19 2021

I liked it, didn't love it. But hey that's alright.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Dec 23 2021

I like it. Title song is a classic. The rest? Not so much.
