Popular Reviews

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves

This doesn't feel particularly special. Got to the second song and felt like the album was dragging on.

Protection by Massive Attack

I got 2 mins into the first song and already wanted to go back to bed. Not something i'd listen to.

All Ratings (76)

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 11 2021

Steely Dan isn't an artist I would normally listen too but since it was recommended, I gave it a listen.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Nov 12 2021

Personally this album was a bit slow for my liking, did listen to the full of it but not for me.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Nov 15 2021

When I saw the album, I felt like I had heard this artist before and possibly this album, not 100% sure if I have but still sat through the album to give it a listen. Grace sounds quite personal, almost like his letter to death or maybe a i'm here and not getting knocked down anymore, type of album.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Nov 17 2021

This doesn't feel particularly special. Got to the second song and felt like the album was dragging on.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Nov 18 2021

This feels like almost any other album a female has realised. This doesn't seem like it's set itself apart. Quite easy to tune out and forget about.

Suicide by Suicide
Nov 19 2021

HUGE pass. Barely made it through the first song "GhostRider" without feeling like i'm dizzy due to the static instrumental.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Nov 24 2021

I'm familiar with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, There is some of their songs that I do have on high rotation but not from this album. Personally this album just isn't for me.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Nov 25 2021

I started listening to Fiona Apple a few weeks prior to doing this and her music is something. But this album isn't for me.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Dec 01 2021

As an Ozzy fan, I looked at this album cover and was like \"huh? I haven't heard this one\" but once I clicked to listen to the album, i've realised that i've played it on high rotation prior to today.

Signing Off by UB40
Dec 02 2021

I like how this group brings forward political statements especially songs about truth during the time this was written.

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 03 2021
Protection by Massive Attack
Dec 06 2021

I got 2 mins into the first song and already wanted to go back to bed. Not something i'd listen to.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Dec 07 2021
Leftism by Leftfield
Dec 09 2021

personally not for me.

Dec 10 2021

you can hear how personal this one seems. I don't listen to Tupac, nor do I know much about him but you can hear how raw he tried to make this one.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 11 2021

This album seems familiar to me though I'm not sure if i've heard it prior to today. it feels very danceable while trying to express his curiosity within the neighborhood his singing about.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Dec 12 2021

when the first song played I went "Ohh..I know this song." and did a little boogy in my seat. Sadly by the time it got to track 2, it felt a bit repetitive and I got bored.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Dec 13 2021

i'm sorry but I barely lasted a minute before feeling like it certainly isn't an album for me.

Dec 14 2021

i'm familar with Everybody Hurts and Losing my religion, so I kinda knew what I was getting into once I hit play with this album but as I continued to listen to it, I feel like the songwriter was going through something at the time and having it vocalized made them show the world they need help with each song that plays.

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 15 2021

personally not an album or a band for me.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Mar 15 2022

Personally not for me, a bit slow for my liking.

Mar 16 2022

Oh boy, only got to track 4 and felt like I had been listening to the album for an eternity, The only thing that stopped each song from sounding similar is the lyrics.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Mar 17 2022

As an aerosmith fan, I'm glad quite familar with this album. Though this one almost feels like a greatest hits album, with it's mix of genres via it's song and mismatched songs.

Horses by Patti Smith
Mar 19 2022
Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 20 2022

I'm familiar with Pearl Jam even though they aren't an artist I play on the regular. I think I've understood why i'm not really a Pearl Jam listening, after the music played through their songs, I didn't realise they were all different..I actually thought it was just one massive track rather than individual songs.

Metallica by Metallica
Mar 21 2022

I worshipped this album when I was a kid and still belt this album out whenever I hit play or when it rarely plays enter sandman on the radio.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 22 2022

yeah, this album isn't for me. It sounds a bit too slow and depressing for my liking.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 23 2022

oh boy, if you don't know this album than clearly your living under a rock. No one in my life is a heavy Pink Floyd fan but I remember hearing this album on repeat a lot growing up.

Mask by Bauhaus
Mar 24 2022

This feels like one of those albums that either a) your already a fan of the band and know their music or b) put this on as background noise just to keep you company while you do other tasks.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Mar 25 2022

Ah. this is her famous album, the one with hit after hit. I may have been born after the hype of She's So Unusual but i do remember hearing this album growing up and abosutely loved it and to this day I still do.

The La's by The La's
Mar 26 2022

If it wasn't for "There She Goes" I probably would've lowered the rating.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 27 2022

My mum owned a physical copy of this when I was younger and I would listen to it almost all the time. Unfortunely haven't heard Tracy Chapman's songs in quite a while (excluding people who do covers). Hands down Tracy Chapman's album Tracy Chapman is one of the MUST LISTEN TO BEFORE YOU DIE albums.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 28 2022

albums from the 70s are either wild and make no sense or just the band having pure fun. This album from the undertones feels like they were just having pure fun in the studio and letting whatever happens happen..It's not a too bad album.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Apr 11 2022

I'm familiar with who system of the down is but personally, this album doesn't do it for me.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 12 2022

It started of what I thought would be a heartbreak album before ending with a whole "This is who I am, take it as is." I think this is the first time that I've heard a Dolly Parton album and it was certainly interesting.

Apr 14 2022

Wait? This is Wu-Tang Clan. They don't sound like what i'd expect them to sound like. Mind you it's an album from the 90's, so that explains a lot.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Apr 15 2022

I'm pretty sure I own a copy of this album and pretty sure it was on repeat for a short while. not gonna lie, I thought the first two tracks were the same song.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 16 2022

Ah. This is the famous Fleetwood Mac album. Honestly, I've never really gone out of my way to listen to these guys. Sure, if their playing on the radio or a music channel but album wise..not really my band. If it wasn't for the commonly played tracks I properly would've rated this lower.

London Calling by The Clash
Aug 10 2024

Ooh..For some reason I thought I didn't know this band but I know "London Calling." which meant i stuck around to listen to the rest of the album.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 11 2024

Okay, this album only makes sense cause it was released on the tail end of the 60's and probably would've been a hit through the 70s.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 12 2024

oh god I leapt for joy when I saw Metallica. Pretty sure I own most of their physical albums but oh boy, it's been a short while since i've listened to master of puppets.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Aug 13 2024

oh god, the minute "sunday morning" started, I wanted to go back to bed. it feels like a lullaby

Bad by Michael Jackson
Aug 14 2024

The minute the webpage opened, I knew I was in for a treat. The better question to ask is "Who doesn't love Bad by Michael Jackson?"

With The Beatles by Beatles
Aug 15 2024

Was someone going through a break up when this album was in the making? Cause the first song sounds like someone was a bad boyfriend and was trying to get their partner back, while the second song sounds like someone is begging for their partner's touch.

Aug 16 2024

The baby intro was weird to start with at 7am on a friday. The first song is nearly 8mins long, I ended up giving up half way through the song and didn't listen to the rest of the album.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Aug 17 2024

It's not a very memorable album, is it? Except for the lyrics, the songs pretty much sound the same.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Aug 18 2024

this is a very 1990s album of rap. Not for me.

Achtung Baby by U2
Aug 19 2024

I'm not a regular U2 listener unless they play on the radio or a random song of theirs makes its way to my shuffle playlist. I had this playing in the background while I was doing stuff, I didn't even realise spotify played a different artist after this album finished.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 20 2024

Did anyone else get bored listening to this album?

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 21 2024

Definite Gaze sounds like the munsters theme song except it got old real quick with it's repeative notions. I made it half way through song 1 before giving up.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Aug 23 2024

I didn't realise who these guys are until I heard the first song than realised that's probably the only song of theirs that I know. Unfortunately as the album went on, it just felt repeative with different lyrics.

I See You by The xx
Aug 25 2024

this doesn't feel like a 2017 album but rather a mid/late 90's album or even a early 2000s album.

Aug 27 2024

Ooh..It's NWA! I've seen the movie called "Straight Outta Compton" so, I get to pretend I know these songs and the group. Besides the album that's matched the movie, this is probably the second NWA (or would others class it as the first?) album i've heard. I like that this feel quite forward on what it wanted to convey. Not just teenagers with their push against authority but also the racism that happens to them. How their upbringing influenced their lyrics as well.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 28 2024

I'm familiar with who Bob Marley is. I recently saw the One Love movie and liked it. Listening to this album is actually surprisingly good

Aug 30 2024

I really struggled to sit through the first song. I know Common started out as an singer but for some reason this doesn't feel like the common songs that i've known in recent years.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Aug 31 2024

The first few seconds of this song really threw me out. I feel like there's a lot going on in song one that it's a struggle to keep going through the rest of the album.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Sep 01 2024

Probably not the wisest idea to listen to this album at 6am on a wednesday morning, really depressing.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Sep 02 2024

I don't know why but their tracks should like songs from other artists but the minute their vocals start, it's a whole other song. It kinda throws me out. Maybe others have covered the songs over the years but this just sounds so familar.

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Sep 04 2024

I'll be honest I hit play, didn't realise I was on track 3. It's perfect background noise but the songs do kinda merge into one and you just assume your listening to one long song.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Jun 11 2025

Not gonna lie I gave up barely half way into song 1. The style just isn't for me.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jun 12 2025

Didn't make it all the way through. Didn't realise how long track 1 was and questioned if all the songs sounded the same. Got to track 3, good vocals but almost all back sounds similar.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

when you realise that albums generator dropped this on the day Brian Wilson's passed.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jun 14 2025

hold up. This is THE Elvis Costello? gah. kinda boring.

Jun 15 2025

Oooh...I was only a kid when this album came out, never listened to it - Rap wasn't my thing until my early teens- but i remember some of the key songs making vocal appearances by the "white boys" in primary school, who thought 50cent was the coolest thing since white bread.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 16 2025

this is the only meatloaf album I own and my god..the amount of times I replayed this album..it's quite fun and a roller coaster of should I cry or should I dance?
