Popular Reviews

Bright Flight by Silver Jews

Dull and lifeless, almost as if written to capture the feeling of a talentless hack who did unspeakable things to record executives to get an album produced.

1984 by Van Halen

Love, love, love this album. Hey PJ Harvey, this is how to make music that people want to hear.

Melodrama by Lorde

The William Shatner of synth pop.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

Fun and groovy. Watch yo' mouth!

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone

Dramatic, passionate, soulful. Real, unfiltered music sung by an intense artist with something to say. Fuck off Lorde.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Nov 18 2021

This is such a welcoming introduction to Stan Getz, it feels familiar immediately and sets a perfect mood.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Nov 19 2021

I recognize and acknowledge the revolutionary genius that went into this album, but it's a difficult listen for me.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Nov 23 2021

The distinctive sound and clever lyrics that made Bang a Gong fun and memorable, are spread too thinly over way too many lifeless and repetitive songs.

Nov 24 2021

Thoroughly enjoyed the music on this album, not so much the vocals.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Nov 25 2021

Damn, Neil Young can be a bummer. A competent album, mostly a collection of culturally appropriated blues.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Nov 26 2021

While Ray Charles was a genius, his amazing voice was overwhelmed by the big band horn section.

Melodrama by Lorde
Nov 29 2021

The William Shatner of synth pop.

1984 by Van Halen
Dec 01 2021

Love, love, love this album. Hey PJ Harvey, this is how to make music that people want to hear.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Dec 02 2021

Well... that was a fun ride.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Dec 03 2021

Mostly enjoyable. Seems like the one socialist rap song didn't fit the mood of the rest of the album. Very similar to Skeewiff

The Predator by Ice Cube
Dec 06 2021

Ice Cube was correct, I did need to check myself. I was just about to wreck myself. Thx Bro.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Dec 09 2021

Really enjoyed the musicality, not the vocals so much. Why so angry?

Moving Pictures by Rush
Dec 10 2021

Best album ever. Rush at the pinnacle of their creativity

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Dec 13 2021

Dramatic, passionate, soulful. Real, unfiltered music sung by an intense artist with something to say. Fuck off Lorde.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Dec 15 2021

Hate it. Hate Dylan. Hate Dylan knock off's. Kind of grew on me after awhile.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 20 2021

More fun than I expected. Still, the nasally drone started to wear on me.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Dec 21 2021

Boring.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Dec 22 2021

I was really expecting some excitement based on the name of the band & the album title but this thing sucked.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Dec 23 2021

A little self indulgent, but a lot of fun nevertheless.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Dec 24 2021

Whiny drivel. Shouldn't there be some minimum requirement that a singer should know how to sing?

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Dec 28 2021

It's David-frickin'-Bowie.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 04 2022

Great Bowie, but uneven.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 06 2022

Mind healed, palette cleansed and chakras aligned - I'm ready for more PJ Harvey. Hendrix is amazing and this album captures lightning in a bottle.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jan 10 2022

Not my jam, but she is clearly talented.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jan 11 2022

Unexpected fun. Love the white boy false bravado. Only a couple of steps removed from rappin' grannies.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jan 14 2022

I'm inclined to give it a higher score than I otherwise might because it's the Who, but honestly it was not that interesting a listen.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jan 17 2022

Fun, uneven, snapping and poppy. The singles on this album dominated the radio in the late 70s and they leave a fun impression. Some of the other songs are a little harder to deal with, but there are at least a couple of others that could have been singles.

Jan 20 2022

The fun stuff is pretty enjoyable. The rest of it is repetitive filler drivel. Kudos if he can remember the lyrics to a couple of those songs

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 21 2022

So good. Not always a fan of live albums, but this is live rock at it's best

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 24 2022

So much jams. All the jams. Jammy jam jams

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Feb 02 2022

Fun and groovy. Watch yo' mouth!

Timeless by Goldie
Feb 03 2022

Waste of time. Drivel.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Feb 04 2022

Background fluff. Nothing exciting, nothing to remember.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 07 2022

Fun throwback sound. Really enjoyed this album. Plus one point for a cool band name

Garbage by Garbage
Feb 08 2022

I didn't expect to like it, but it was a really enjoyable album minus one point for crappy band name.

Infected by The The
Feb 09 2022

Decent but of fun. Very dated sound.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Feb 10 2022

An excellent blues album, even if you don't care about the groundbreaking sound design.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Feb 17 2022

Frenetic. Some interesting stuff, but not my jam.

Fragile by Yes
Feb 18 2022

So much excellence and amazing music. A few odd moments, but who cares.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Feb 21 2022

Very much a sound of its times. Got repetitive pretty quickly.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Feb 23 2022

Fuck Mary Manson. He looks gross (strike one), he's a rapist (strike two), and he's a rapist (strike three).

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 04 2022
Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Mar 11 2022

Dull and lifeless, almost as if written to capture the feeling of a talentless hack who did unspeakable things to record executives to get an album produced.

Wild Gift by X
Mar 17 2022

It's alright. Nothing special. None of the songs left a lasting impression.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Mar 21 2022

Nostalgic romp with a couple of standout hints of music to come. Felt very corny through most of it.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 24 2022

It's awful to be filled with angst about the injustices of the world but have no talent for lyrics. I suppose it's worse to then inflict that lack of talent on the world.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Apr 04 2022

Good energy. Captured the alt sound of the time as well as any group.
