Popular Reviews

Achtung Baby by U2

Great album! Minus 4 for the tax evasion

Did I ever watch the movie? No? But I could be living it with this album. Hauntingly beautiful

If there's one thing the list showed me it's that I'm not a queenfan except for the hits.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan

This was a long and boring album. All of these songs could be trimmed of their fat. Last song is 16 minutes without ever changing anything.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys

I love Beastie Boys. This isn't my favourite but very decent

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Dec 03 2021

Solid old school rock 'n roll. Bit formulaïc at times, but holds up.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Dec 06 2021

Very grateful and mesmerizing although it doesnt grip me all the time

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 08 2021

Known for the titeltrack, but there's a lot more to this album. It's generally, with one exception, a sad album, but heartfelt and beautiful.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 09 2021

A more streamlined album than their debut, this grips me more.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Dec 10 2021

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 14 2021

Essential folkrock album. Aged galantly.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Dec 15 2021

Not much of a soul man, though it has a few standout tracks

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Dec 16 2021

This album contains a classic hit that most people heard one time too many. Even with that crux the rest of the album is amazing. Space trucking, highway star, lazy, ... all deserve as much adoration as smoke on the water. Almost 50 years old and still timeless

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 21 2021

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 10 2024

Like most Nu Metal albums around that time, this one feels way too long with some fillers. You either hate or love Durst' lyrics, for me it's a bit too cringey. The real star here is Wes Borland and his guitarwork imo.

White Ladder by David Gray
Feb 21 2024

This makes me want to experience heartbreak. Brb, divorcing my wife

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 24 2024

Unfortunately, this does nothing for me. Not the fault of the artist ofcourse. It's mine, for being a silly goose.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Feb 26 2024
Rocks by Aerosmith
Feb 27 2024
Feb 28 2024

My third generated Yes album. Probably the one I liked most. Can't quite put my finger on why though.

Mask by Bauhaus
Mar 03 2024
Medúlla by Björk
Mar 05 2024

Granted it's experimental. But too much of her voice makes me go crazy

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 13 2024

Nobody does pop better than Abba. Easily 5 stars.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Mar 15 2024

This is not a bad slipknot album, quite honestly, I quite like it. But its inclusion in this list baffles me. It's where their chaotic original sound made way for a mainstream approach. And less of a trailblazer. Best part about this album is the drumming. My god, does it stand out.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 17 2024
Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Mar 23 2024

I think i got a fondness for this early country-ish stuff. Buck Owens, Marty Robbins, this. Nice that the website makes you discover things about youself you didn't even know

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Mar 27 2024

69 songs on 1 album? Must be grindcore. It isn't? Pas.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 28 2024
Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 04 2024
Black Metal by Venom
Apr 07 2024

This what started extreme metal. Thrash and black metal (and by expansion death metal) would not exist without the sloppy but heavy sound of Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon. It is very much a product of it's time, since nowadays it could be considered cheesy and messy. Back in it's day however this was the epitome of evil.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Apr 11 2024

This came at the wrong time for me. Perhaps when my mood was ripe for something more chaotic this score would be a bit higher

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 12 2024

Not this guy again...

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Apr 19 2024
The Man Who by Travis
Apr 20 2024

Lacking substance imo bland

Apr 21 2024

Hurt was the first Johnny Cash song I ever heard. I'm probably not alone in that. Other songs I discovered later we're his country songs and this made me utterly confused. After some research I could scratch an itch with his American recordings. With the aforementioned Hurt, Personal Jesus and the titeltrack ( cleverly used in Dawn Of The Dead) it has an all star tracklist allready. Other personal favourites are We'll meet again, Tear Stained Letter and in my life. A sublime last effort from the man in black

Apr 23 2024

Did I ever watch the movie? No? But I could be living it with this album. Hauntingly beautiful

Garbage by Garbage
Apr 24 2024

Being born in 1990 it's hard for me to estimate the popularity of an album at it's release. Is garbage underrated or did I miss their glorydays? This selftitled album deserves to be spoken in the same breath as other alternative classics from bands like Smashing Pumpkins, REM and Jane's Addiction... or does it allready do?

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Apr 25 2024

I draw parallels between this album and David Bowie's Blackstar. Both released days before the demise of their creator and carrying gravitas and a rather sombre atmosphere.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Apr 26 2024

Was expecting something else entirely. Not for me, too bad

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 30 2024
Sister by Sonic Youth
May 02 2024
Suede by Suede
May 10 2024
Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
May 27 2024

Some stellar singles, but most of the tracks are a bit to laid back for my tastes

Arular by M.I.A.
May 28 2024
Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
May 31 2024

Never heard this band, but heard of this band. Honestly I was expecting early Motley Crue or early Twisted Sister leanings. This goes more for the first Aerosmith influences. Which is fine I guess. But I would like to have heard some more grit. Good, not great.

Eagles by Eagles
Jun 01 2024

Come on, man. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 03 2024

You wanted the best, you've got the best!

90 by 808 State
Jun 04 2024

Now and again, I get excited about receiving an album with electronic music. Something totally new to me. Alas this is not really up my alley.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jun 06 2024
Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 09 2024
Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Jun 10 2024

Hardly registered this. Like a boring suicide (the band).

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jun 11 2024

R'nB is really not my genre.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 15 2024

Not a big fan of Clapton. This one is on the better side for me.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 19 2024

Smells like hippie

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Jun 20 2024

One of the finest British punkbands, if not the best. This whole album is stellar

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jun 22 2024

Not my favourite Beatles album on this list, but still an essential listen

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jun 24 2024

Forget Ozzy Osbourne, Henry Rollins or Iggy Pop. This man is the real madman! The wildest!

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 25 2024

Look, I'm incredibly biased when it comes to Motörhead. I own all 23 albums, got a big snaggletooth tattoo and celebrate Christmas eve as the birt of our true savior, Lemmy Kilmister. Even tho it's not my personal favourite, it's an easy 5 stars.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 27 2024

Even though I prefer his second album, this is still an amazing 5/5 album. Where later the Slim Shady persona would only ocassionally rear it's head, on this release it's very much in charge. Foulmouthed, antagonistic and crazy, sure, but also pushing the envelope and dragging an entire generation with him.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jun 29 2024

Call it a guilty pleasure. I'm not proud to give this 4 stars, lol.

Be by Common
Jun 30 2024

Like this one better than the other on this list

1999 by Prince
Jul 02 2024
Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 03 2024
Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jul 06 2024

Was pretty excited for this one, since I heard good things about Skepta. But this wasn't my thing. Repetitive and too many skits.

Bubble And Scrape by Sebadoh
Jul 07 2024

It's ok, I guess. I feel like albums like these are dime a dozen in this list.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Jul 08 2024

Great surprise

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jul 09 2024
1977 by Ash
Jul 17 2024
The Coral by The Coral
Jul 21 2024

Was familiar with two songs. I could have sworn this band was a 70's 80's band. Good songs nice atmosphere. Did well in this house

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jul 22 2024

I liked it better than his other entry but not by a lot.

Jul 23 2024

Less 'crude' production than his debut. Really love this split personality with Eminem, Slim Shady and Marshall going on. Has an edge to it with songs like Kim that probably drew in a few Nu Metal/ alt kids

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jul 25 2024
Skylarking by XTC
Jul 26 2024

I love dear god, but otherwise a bit so so

The Undertones by The Undertones
Jul 27 2024

Just the short sharp shock that I needed. This rules.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 01 2024

Can't sit still with this one. Although a tad too long.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Aug 03 2024

Emotional, and the lofi production makes it personal on a level. However it feels a bit samey at moments, and sometimes a bit whiney.

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Aug 04 2024

Liked the music to an extent, but the voice really annoyed me.

Close To You by Carpenters
Aug 05 2024

A bit too goody two shoes for my book. But can Karen sing or what?!

The Stooges by The Stooges
Aug 06 2024

The only thing this has going against it, is that it's not funhouse. Some of this was a bit drawn out (looking at you, We Will Fall) and made up on the spot but otherwis, this is great and raw to a degree.

Aug 08 2024

Wanted to rate this higher, but there is a whole side that's filler. Al in fun, these guys never thought about their legacy I guess.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 09 2024

Compression: the album. But they make it work for them,. This has not aged with grace, but it's fun , dumb and catchy.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Aug 10 2024

Kind of a mixed bag. By making this an unnecesarry double album, it gets a point less. It could do without the covers. The title track and the singles are the highlights in my opinion.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Aug 12 2024

An engaging storyteller. Despite its rudimentary nature this is a very compelling album

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 13 2024

The flow of this is great, the music good and compelling, having a bit of trouble connecting with it personally however.

The Visitors by ABBA
Aug 14 2024

Nobody does it like Abba. This is darker and ads more hurt, stepping away from the eurovision style.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Aug 15 2024

I feel every second of this album. Mesmerizing!

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Aug 16 2024

I recognise the beauty but for me this was pretty forgettable

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Aug 17 2024

This album irritates me. It's weird, I know, but the urge to skip this was immense.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Aug 18 2024

It's on a song by song basis for me. Some I liked, others did nothing.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Aug 20 2024

Country is not my jam, but this is decent

Vulnicura by Björk
Aug 21 2024

Her name is an onomatopoeia for how I feel about her music.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 22 2024

Reggae annoys me. This is tolerable

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Aug 23 2024

Razorlike tension. And a sound like that in 1980???!!!! Wow

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Aug 24 2024

Emotional vocals and diverse instrumentation. Like a rocking wailing goth. In *checks notes* 1986??!!

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Aug 25 2024

The thing that sets this apart from other rapalbums is that this is fun. A true classic!

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Aug 27 2024

Inspiring and otherworldly.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Aug 28 2024

I gave Actually a 5, this wasn't a hit for me ( hello, controversial artist). This was perhaps a more grown sound. Doesn't mean I have to love it.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Aug 29 2024

For fans of experiment, mash up or, hell, breakcorefans taking opium. This one hell of an album, flirting with everything from pop to classical and even Arabic music.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Aug 30 2024

As a millenial my closest connection with Johnny Cash are the American recordings. Objectively looking however I feel this period of his life is where his best recordings are. The Man In Black persona begins to manifest. Nothing but respect.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Sep 01 2024

Saw this morning that my album was Can't buy a thrill. I brew a pot coffee, lounged in the couch, put the record on and got to 7th heaven. Damned, I'm not in my late fourties, why do I like this?

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Sep 02 2024
D by White Denim
Sep 03 2024

The relevance of this album escapes me, but considering they need modern albums in this list, I kinda get it. This feels like a jamband, but it's quite clear that's just an impression. The musicianship is good, but my personal bias to this kind of music is really fighting me on this. Words like patchoulli and soundtrack to campertrips for trustafarians ring through my head. If I was an asshole I would give this a 1. I'm going with a 3, I could still be an asshole though.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 05 2024
Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Sep 06 2024

Afgerond naar boven maar voor mij is dit 2,7 max

1989 by Taylor Swift
Sep 07 2024

I understand that she's a bit of a divisive artist, but I don't really know why. That aside, i think this is the epitome of 2010's pop, atleast the female led side. Does it work for me? The upbeat songs I definitely like, to a point. But the others fail to hit me. Lyrics are sometimes a bit cringy, but it's (ultra-)mainstream pop so it comes with the territory. I'm floating between a 3 and a 4 but it being a cultural behemoth, I'll grant it a 4.

Revolver by Beatles
Sep 11 2024

One of their best

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Sep 13 2024

Props to Bjork for making an album I like.

No Other by Gene Clark
Sep 14 2024

It's ok, but I will not revisit this

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Sep 15 2024

I can see everyone's uncle smoking weed to Tarkus and being annoying about this album 50 years later.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Sep 17 2024

Aged like a cosby show reference. Not even timbaland saved this.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Sep 22 2024

Soulful, but too samey for a 2nd listen

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Sep 24 2024

Weird but not overly bizarre

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Sep 26 2024

Almost a 4, one of the better post 2010 albums I already had

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Sep 27 2024

It caught me at a moment where it worked for me, could have been different.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Sep 29 2024

Notforme. Bored me.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Oct 02 2024
Survivor by Destiny's Child
Oct 04 2024

So this is where international superstar Kelly Rowland got her start

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Oct 05 2024

Disco has many stinkers, few diamonds. This is absolutely the latter

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Oct 07 2024

Fast and uncompromising. Love it!

En-Tact by The Shamen
Oct 08 2024

Bit dated, not a big fan. Hard to say if there's a legacy to this, I'm the wrong person to judge.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Oct 12 2024

I thought this guy was a living meme, turns out he has good stuff. Nothing I'd go out of my way for however.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Oct 13 2024

She'll go on to make alot of things I like including the other album on the list. But this just doesn't excite me, not in the slightest.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Oct 15 2024

This explodes immediately! Banger after banger! Rip my eardrums!

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Oct 16 2024

Am I wrong? Is this album 42 songs long? It took me 3 days. Best 12 songs would have made a 4, but I'm not built for this.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Oct 18 2024

Way too long. It's its own special thing, but I like the idea of it more than the execution.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Oct 19 2024

Everybody has a favourite Stevie Wonder album, right? The only mistake this album has for me is that it's not Talking Book.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Oct 20 2024

Good

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 21 2024

Decent but will not revisit.

Rapture by Anita Baker
Oct 22 2024

I would love to hear the jazzversion that Anita wanted. For now this will do.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Oct 24 2024

Girl power all the way, but this? Nah

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Oct 25 2024

Meditative un a way, it ebs and flows. Great music if you're willing to take the trip

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Oct 26 2024

Pfff, melow in a bad way, and I hate that Seinfeldbass

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Oct 27 2024

Gave Neon Bible a 4, in hindsight should have been a 5. Not making that mistake again.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Oct 31 2024

Makes me emotional, can't use that right now, but props when they are due

Street Life by The Crusaders
Nov 03 2024

The bandname and album title made me think this was gonna be a punkalbum. Too bad. Can't complain about the title track. That's a gripping song. However the rest reminds me of elevator music and soundtracks to terrible 80's sitcoms

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Nov 04 2024

Quite like it. Especialy the instrumentation. Can't quite put it to words.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Nov 05 2024

What a magnificent slab of weird

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nov 06 2024

I enjoy the Rhythm and percussion of this. Culturaly miles away from me however.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 07 2024
Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Nov 09 2024

A bit too up it's own ass for my taste.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Nov 10 2024

I had other albums by Mrs. Franklin. But this to me is the epitome!

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Nov 12 2024
Whatever by Aimee Mann
Dec 14 2024

Her voice always hit me. I'm grieving right now and although lyrically it's not the same, it makes me very emotional.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 17 2024

Not a marley fan, but probably the one I enjoy most.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Dec 22 2024

I know this one has a legendary reputation but it's not by a mile my favourite Bowie

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Dec 27 2024

It's been a while since this generator gave me a 'real' (as in universally recognised) classic. Quite enjoyed it. Micky Mouse sound alike Axl may be. And people criticise Knocked Loose...

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Dec 28 2024
Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Dec 30 2024

Esoteric music to take a walk to, enjoyable enough, but a must hear? Not to me

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 02 2025

Not something I'll revisit, but fun record

Jan 04 2025

Great surprise! I like my hiphop/rap more raw but this is one exception although lyrically he holds no punches. Also makes me overlook a pet peeve of mine: using a classic oldie as a hook for a song. Am going to spin this more!

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jan 06 2025

She was a once in a lifetime artist. At times bleak, painfully honest and so warm. Pity, addiction does keep us from wonderfull things

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 08 2025

Bonafide classic

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 10 2025

Almost a 5. I adored the virgin suicides, this lost me a bit by the end. But what a band!

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jan 11 2025

This irks me. Comes of as pretentious

Gold by Ryan Adams
Jan 12 2025
Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 13 2025

This is a tense sound, doesn't necessarily pay of all the time though.

Jan 16 2025

Surprising for an EDM album to grab me, but this is good, clean fun. It's not rocket science and it doesn't claim to be. Pretty varied approach too. Far from the normal stuff I listen to.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jan 17 2025

What a slog to get through. Vocals are very dull, and musically nothing to look out for. *Comic book guy voice* worst renaissance fair ever!

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jan 18 2025

I thought it was mighty average.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Jan 19 2025

Kind of middle of the road for me, suis desolé

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jan 20 2025

This was happy, cheerful. Good for them

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Jan 21 2025

High expectations, did not deliver. Except for some singles and an ocasional track, this album is mainly ballads and midtempo. Gets tedious pretty quick.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jan 22 2025

Not my favourite album of his. But it's stll Stevie Wonder so it's great.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Jan 23 2025
Sea Change by Beck
Jan 24 2025

Emotional, gripping.

Jan 25 2025

I reckon this is a (sub) genre classic, and as such I'm having trouble to rate it. Lord knows I have a niche I can talk someone's ear off about. But about this dance album? Influential? Probably. Good in it's genre? Probably? Foundation for a legendary group? Sure. The thing is, if I had any stake in the genre I could tell you it's worth. The album after this ( the fat of the land) claims more territory and is more worth it imo.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 26 2025

Highly enjoyable, but not necessarily something I would revisit

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jan 27 2025

Knew walstreet shuffle. Rest is good too.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jan 28 2025

An eccentric take on pop. Good times

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jan 29 2025

Musically good, but damn the man is an american tool. Must be a psy op.

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jan 30 2025

Two of these arent tearjerkers. This was boring

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jan 31 2025

Johnny has 2 legendary albums? Good for him.

Kenza by Khaled
Feb 02 2025

Khaled uses alot of influences but yet his voice is an anchorpoint to this. Although his vocal approach isn't standard to regular western music I vibed with this. The length however is something else, I had to cut it in three

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Feb 03 2025

Dark and brooding, yet soothing

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Feb 05 2025

I rarely give a 1. Searching for something to up that score, I usually land on musical ability or lyricism. For the Hangman's beautiful daughter I can't do that. Honestly, I thought some players held their instruments for the first time on this recording. As for lyricism, I can't see the poetry in this. Feels like it's for a 70's-80's children's program. No surprise but I had flashbacks to Pentangle's Basket Of Light which also received a negative score from me.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Feb 06 2025
Urban Hymns by The Verve
Feb 07 2025

Didn't expect to know so many songs allready. This album is great, however at the end it loses somebof it's momentum.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 08 2025

This could have been a 4 minute song

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 11 2025

To me, live through this packed more of a punch, which i liked more. Nevertheless still a great album.

Damaged by Black Flag
Feb 12 2025

This is probably one of the most influental albums out there. Voice of the youth in those days. And there is nothing more important than that.

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 13 2025

Just yesterday I've got Black Flag's Damaged and called it one of the most important albums on this list. Then today the list throws me this one ("you sure about that?"). 3 minutes of fun with 4 chords and easy lyrics. You can't even count how many kids picked up an instrument because of this. It's pop from a punk perspective.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 18 2025

The most important album ever! Their best? No. But every album in my collection is a descendant of this one. The world would look different without this!

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 19 2025

Pretty good and eerie sounding

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Feb 21 2025

Lovely surprise. Didn't expect to know something from this band but was familiar with atleast 3 songs

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 24 2025

I love Beastie Boys. This isn't my favourite but very decent

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 25 2025

Chillout but one of the 1001's? Why?

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Feb 26 2025

Positive retro dance from the early nineties? Bitchin'!

Brothers by The Black Keys
Feb 28 2025

It's fine, I guess. Doesn't grip me.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Mar 01 2025

Loved the other album but this one... kinda boring

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 03 2025

I know the singles, love em but the rest is kinda hit and miss at times

Pink Flag by Wire
Mar 05 2025

A smorgasbord of punk and punkadjacent music, which feels very modern for a 70's record.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Mar 06 2025
I See You by The xx
Mar 07 2025

The XX brings the ideal version of pop for the modern age. Heartfelt, passionate and musically inovative.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Mar 08 2025

Atleast it's not boring. You guys suck off the most bland 70's band but put this in the ground. A 5, out of spite.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 09 2025

I've got an up and down relationship with SOAD. It interests me and puts me of sometimes too, but it's highly entertaining. Put Serj Tankian in any other band and it would grate me to no end but the fourpiece musically just clicks well together.

Cut by The Slits
Mar 10 2025

Not gonna lie, won't revisit. But interesting

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Mar 11 2025

Not as good or legendary as the debut but grezt nonetheles

Mar 12 2025

I have a habit of giving 5's to every album that I already own. Not very subjective I know, but in the early days of me being on this generator it helped with the 'pressure' of rating an album everyday. Plus you're familiar with the album so it kinda makes sense. In all honesty, I want to give yhis a four. I'm familiar with it. But it doesn't reach the levels of Cowboys from Hell. They found the sound they wanted and never gave any other stylistic change a chance. Phill's voice was getting rougher and gone were the more high vocals he sporadically did. They had their groove and dumbguy hardcor vibe and while I have nothing against that, there could have been more to this band. If you're looking for great groove metal you could easily go for Cowboys From Hell or Machine Head's Burn My Eyes or Chaos AD by Sepultura or anything by Rob Zombie. They stick the landing more imo. Still giving this a 5, cause a man who doesn't stick to his guns ain't worth a damn.

Kala by M.I.A.
Mar 14 2025

M.I.A. sounds so bored when she sings. The strength on this is boyse and paper planes but for the rest it's a bit grating

Mar 15 2025

If there's one thing the list showed me it's that I'm not a queenfan except for the hits.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Mar 17 2025

This one's different. Like indiepop meets wild experimentation. I can only applaud cause this should be what every musician wants to make. My own subjectiveness says that the popside doesn't speak to me a whole lot but other than that, superb.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Mar 19 2025

Despite all the drama around this band, they did produce an album which shines with good songwriting. Definitely it had that british no-good (chav) misfit vibe.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Mar 20 2025

His methods may be unorthodox, but dammit, the doctor get's the job done!

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Mar 23 2025

Manu Chao is king!... of the bongo.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Mar 24 2025

Great for them, but I can see similiar band every other weekend. This to say I don't really get their inclusion? If they paved a giant way for others, I'll ofcourse take it back but for now... good not great.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Mar 29 2025

Armed with a flow to make other rappers cringe, lyrics that are an embarrassment to the first sentence ever put to paper and a persona tottaly pulled out of his ass, kid rock managed to put together an album that's equally overproduced as underproduced, and manages to stand out as the absolute garbage in an era plagued with cringy Nu Metalbands, overtly clean Pop starlets and tryhard fake gangsta rappers.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Mar 30 2025
E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Mar 31 2025

Sonic Youth, it never gels with me. This is loose sand wrapped in a hipsters mitten.

Third by Portishead
Apr 03 2025
Very by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 04 2025
Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Apr 08 2025

The difference witth oither noiderockbands? They're not fun and Butthole Surfers are.

Apr 10 2025

Great album. Wu Tang has it's own style and it definitely shines on this one.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Apr 11 2025

You're running the risk of being labelled an asshole if you don't like this preachy album. Guess I'm an asshole. The Gospel, funk and poprock mix is not to my liking. He has a good heart and blabla but yeah a 2.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Apr 12 2025

I usually grant a 3 if it's decent but not to my liking, cleverly played but not my genre or a window into a certain time. Well, this is a time that I grew up in, but since I wasn't an impressionable girl and to young to be feeling pubescent longings over her videoclips, I was merely an outsider looking in. Thus this sugary teehee pop kinda gives me the proverbial ick. That being said nobody can deny she was surounded by competent songwriters and that she could cary a tune! Some songs shine cause they are incredibly catchy (...baby one more time; crazy; sometimes; Born to make you happy) other by being outdated(E-mail my heart; Soda pop). Weirdly I kinda enjoyed this. But don't tell 10 year old me..

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 14 2025

Definition of cocky. It works for them.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 16 2025

An overwhelmingly emotional album.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 17 2025

Great 80's pop. 'Nuff said.

Apr 18 2025

I wanted to knock this entirely but it's quite good in songwriting. A bit whiney still

Drunk by Thundercat
Apr 19 2025

Soul in the modern age. Not my bag but manages to sway me at moments.

Timeless by Goldie
Apr 20 2025

I listened to the cd/casette version because the other version is hella long. I'm not a connaiseur of drum 'n bass but I think this less frenetic sound is the origin of the genre(?). I kinda liked it but even the shorter version of this album is an hour which makes it a long sitdown for something not exactly in your comfortzone

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 22 2025

If you need to give this a second listen to rate this, you don't get it at all.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 24 2025
Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Apr 25 2025

I support this band being in the list, but this album... I think The Colour And The Shape; There Is Nothing Left To Lose or One By One lay more claim to these titles imo. Not to say this is a bad album but it doesn't capture the spirit of what was to come.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Apr 26 2025

A sunny sundaymorning with a cup of coffee , this album and a good book...

Diamond Life by Sade
May 01 2025

This is great in a certain setting. Wouldn't use it in a gym. But for meditation, relaxing baths or lovemaking, this is ideal. Unfortunately the wife prefers brutal death metal as a companion to our carnal work out so I had to settle for a relaxing bath. Still more than satisfied!

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
May 05 2025

This was a long and boring album. All of these songs could be trimmed of their fat. Last song is 16 minutes without ever changing anything.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 06 2025

A fun ride, felt current enough, even though I'm not well versed in the genre. Knew 3 or 4 songs allready. That could mean I heard them in a commercial or they were played on the radio. Considering France is a neighbour could be we had some fallout. Don't overanalyze this one and just have fun.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 07 2025

Enjoyed the hits, but the rest don't stick that much.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
May 08 2025

Don't see the use of this. Nothing felt particulary original. Expected a littlf more bounce considering the cover gives a bit of that vibe.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 12 2025

Didn't really hit me in the way I thought it would.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
May 15 2025

I've been looking forward to this one. Short sharp shock! Amazing youthful energy!

London Calling by The Clash
May 16 2025

Colour me surprised that this is as much Reggae as early punk. I don't like Reggae...

Tical by Method Man
May 18 2025

That boom bap holds a place in my heart. Method isn't my favourite Wu Tang Rapper, it's often like he still has some food in his mouth. But looking at todays rap, it's not that bad.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
May 19 2025

Nice surprise! Warm vocals

Green by R.E.M.
May 20 2025

My 4th R.E.M. album and probably my favourite. Upbeat at times, melancolic at others but with Stipe in his most Stipe-iest

OK by Talvin Singh
May 22 2025

Unfortunately the two worlds that are colliding on this, I haven't got an interest in. Didn't enjoy this really.

Signing Off by UB40
May 23 2025

I didn't mind this at first but it's alot of the same as time moves on.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 24 2025

Phenomenal first half. Comes and goes in the second.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
May 25 2025

Experimental post punk. For the kids...

May 26 2025

I like his voice and the music is really excellent but it's too uninteresting to me to hold my focus for an hour .

Real Life by Magazine
May 27 2025

Nice mix of punk and new wave

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 28 2025

At age 12 I was a huge fan of Nirvana. Circa 2007 I got wind of Alice In Chains. If I knew them 5 years before that they would have probably been my obsession instead of their counterparts. This has a nice heavy feel to it overall, even the slower songs. The one grunge band that leaned very close to metal, considering they opened the 1991 Clash of the titans tour with Anthrax, Slayer and Megadeth. I own a best off of AIC and I think only one song of Dirt isn't on that. Banger!

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
May 29 2025

Pretty mid for Bruce

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
May 30 2025

Works well in a certain conditions. Just at home didn't do it for me. Riding my bike in the sun with this in my ears helped me appreciate it more.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 31 2025

This is good in a '80s cheesy pop way.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jun 02 2025

While disco ain't my bag, this ain't too shabby

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jun 03 2025

Nice relaxing ambient jazzy stuff

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 05 2025

Probably a big album for my millenial peers, but this was quite a boring listen for me.

Jun 12 2025

I usually sigh when all these americans critisize all the english band, when there's too much american crap on this list. This however is an english release that has no urgency, and has very little right to be on the list. I don't see any influence on future bands or releases. It's just decent rock.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

I understand the timing of receiving this album. He was a fine musician but how is this one of the must listens of the year 2004? Must be something I'm missing. Album is fine but that's about it.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 14 2025

This album made me fall in love with Bossa Nova. Marvelous and beautiful.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 15 2025

I liked it, but it suffers a bit by the length of the album

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 17 2025

Probably the quintessential pop album.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jun 20 2025

Good, but this is like the 3rd white stripes album I'm getting. Just pick one I guess.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 21 2025

Pretty boring in my opinion.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jun 22 2025

I'm biased on this. This was one of the first albums I bought. Got me into metal even though now I realise the connection is flimsy. Chester has an amazing melodic and understandable scream, the raps are energetic. While it's a very overproduced album, the nostalgia makes me forget. This is not an objective review...

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 25 2025
You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jun 26 2025

I like his music alot. Bit of a stuck up prick for the rest

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jun 27 2025

I had a few pixies albums on this list, I believe and none of them quite resonated with me. This one is the best out of them. Or am I confusing them with Sonic Youth again?

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jun 28 2025

More bluesy than protometal, this one.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 29 2025

Had a hard time piecing this together on youtube. I still couldn't gind a track. Perfectvfor sunny weather this one

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Jul 01 2025

Difference between the Christina on this album and the one on Stripped is probably 400 dollars extra.

Jul 02 2025

A few fillers on this one but otherwise great fun and Fieldy's bass doesn't bother me as much on this album.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Jul 03 2025

Did nothing for me , bit I appreciate she has her own thing.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 04 2025

3rd Kings Of Leon album. Not very different from the rest...

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jul 06 2025

So it supposed to represent a day as a herder, and it clearly catches that. This is more background music for me but pleasant enough

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 07 2025

I'm all for non western music in this list. I had call ofvthe valley just yesterday and the day after I get sounds of India which walks a same rope, and my dumb ass had to listen back to back cus I didn't make time yesterday. This was a bit much truth be told but ultimately a pleasure to listen to.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 08 2025

That portuguese language, that dometimes husky voice, ... I'm in love...

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jul 09 2025

This was corny. Did not really like it.

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Jul 10 2025

Except for the famous single, i thought this was a nothingburger of an album

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jul 12 2025

The energy on this is through the roof. I don't see anything comparing to this.

Future Days by Can
Jul 13 2025

For Can, it's an easy listening album. I miss the weirdness though

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 14 2025

Okay do it's not Rumours. Other than that great.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jul 15 2025

Very varied, not just 'clubby' just a tad too long. Did love it.

Jul 18 2025

I hate when the media called something rock'n roll, but for this it was right on the money. 100% energy, variation on point, great songwriting. This gets me pumping.

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 20 2025

Nothing better than getting your album, being able to get it out of the closet andputting the needle to the record. As I own this, I'm more than familiar with it. Which makes me unable to be objective. I could say that it's way too long,Ross Robinson overproduces, it's quite a departure from previous albums and Max Cavalera isn't exactly Yeats or Neruda. But I've lost my heart to Roots a while ago, and that will probably never change. Both Sepultura and Soulfly tried to carry on with this formula but ended up with better albums ditching those inspirations.

Play by Moby
Jul 22 2025

Absolute banger!

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jul 23 2025

2 talking heads albums in 3 days, and they are decent but honestly not the band for me

Scum by Napalm Death
Jul 24 2025

I get why this has a generally low score. You prefer the 'medical' grindcore of CARCASS or the horror influence that REPULSION had... but just because NAPALM DEATH is political you don't have to write them off. This album is the epitome of youth or atleast what it should be. Relentless, non conformist, concerned and angry about the world's problems, loud and abrassive. Very much as punk as they are metal. Nothing gave me as much joy as having a reason to pluck this one out of my collection and trying to keep up with the lyrics.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jul 25 2025

Gooed meandering background music, has an occasional uptake in tempo and atmosphere

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jul 26 2025

Very jammy, did enjoy but probably not for everyone

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 28 2025

Not the most popular Nick Cave record but probably my favourite. It pulls you in with openingtrack Papa won't leave you Henry and we're of to the races. N.C. shines in a sort of descriptor of events. Great!

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jul 29 2025

You know what? I hate Reggae. It's pretty irrational but it gets on my nerves. Its way too slow and it grinds my gears.

Arise by Sepultura
Jul 30 2025

This is Sepultura at their best. Thrash, a little industrial at times, political and with a kickass production! Come to think about it, this is probably metal at it's best too.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jul 31 2025

Nice ethereal music. Not always in the mood for this but when I do...

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Aug 04 2025

This brought out the romantic in me

The Clash by The Clash
Aug 06 2025

You know what? I like this better than London Calling.

Sulk by The Associates
Aug 08 2025
Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Aug 10 2025

I don't quite get the hate for RHCP, although I got no love for them either. I guess i understand when people liked their youthfull, filled with spunk, attitude, how cheesy and grating it might be. But a 'mature' version of the Peppers feels sterile and dare I say boring.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 11 2025

As a non-enjoyer of Reggea this was quite good. Variation, good song writing. Not just drifting on the music.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Aug 26 2025

Fun!

John Prine by John Prine
Aug 28 2025

Didn't grip me, nor quite entertained me

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Aug 30 2025
Smash by The Offspring
Sep 04 2025

Personally would have gone for Americana but this one is nice Esther way

Ctrl by SZA
Sep 05 2025

Yeah, i liked this!

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 06 2025

Classic, sure, but a lot less biting than I expected.

The La's by The La's
Sep 07 2025

Decent, some standouts.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Sep 08 2025

I'm very intrigued by this album. Never heard it mentioned. Never heard a song of it before. Yet this is smart, fun and energetic. I don't know if it's true but it feels like they we're enjoying recording this.

Electric by The Cult
Sep 09 2025

Rock and/or roll!

Sep 11 2025

This should be annoying, dull even, right? Yet, it's more that it soothes and caresses something inside you. This works for a particular few, and I guess I'm among them.

Forever Changes by Love
Sep 12 2025

I'v got a week of 4's which is very good. This one's making me lean more towards 5. Beautiful voice, great instrumentation and the songwriting is superb.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Sep 13 2025

As much glam as they are punk. It's a fun twist that still hits hard, albeit with a silk glove.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Sep 16 2025

Very emotive with an unique vocal approach and overall sober in its instrumentation, yet daling at the same time.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Sep 18 2025

Very beatles-esque. Not like other albums of theirs. I enjoyed it enough.

The White Room by The KLF
Sep 19 2025

This record is so nineties it has a tamagotchi, does xtc, and asks you were the beef is.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Sep 20 2025

Know the hits(although it could be that some of those are also Skin's solo work), but never followed this band's output. I really enjoy this album. Skin's voice is great, musically they can hits hard if they want, but they also have almost ballads. Very diverse and highly enjoyable.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 21 2025

I can't seem to get into this band. It's enjoyable but it slipstream through my fingers.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk

They definitely have a style all of their own, but to me it's quite samen, and dragging on.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Sep 23 2025

A bit long but mostly enjoyable. Dancy housey hiphoplike samplemania over here.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Sep 24 2025

I own this one, comes with three cd's. Doubt this is the standard version but I enjoy this 'till the last Drop. This only could have been recorder in the 70's. Bands played big!

My life is a lie. apparently the version of chan chan that I remember is a remix. Which explains why I thought this would have more pep in it's step. Not bad by any margin, but different than my expectations.

Thought this would be boring... it was not

The Score by Fugees

Classic! First time hearing it, but it's status is well deserved.

I have no way to prove this, but I hear the joy of creating and playing music in this album. Could be the recording was tumultious and toxic, but I couldn't believe that. This one was a pleasant listening experience. Also, Rod Stewart has that cocky big d*ck swinging energy that few come close to.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker

Frankly, I don't remember the other album(s?) of Scott Walker that are on this list. This one is excellent however. Standouts to me are opener The Seventh Seal and The Old Man's Back.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Oct 05 2025

Let Tom Waits take you on this weird, emotional and beautiful adventure. You'll laugh, cry and gasp.

American Idiot by Green Day
Oct 07 2025

Having heard a big chunk of this, I've grown quite tired of it. But since I use to appreciate this, I figured i'll bump this a point higher .

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 08 2025

I had high hopes for this classic but after the explosive first three songs this implodes a bit until the closing track. Shame.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues

I guess their exile, my gain.

The Specials by The Specials

Spanning. Was craving this.

Cross by Justice

Like what they did with this. Dont know anything about edm though.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 16 2025

Loved this more than Brothers in Arms. Has more pep in it's step.

Microshift by Hookworms

Comes in with a blast but gets a bit generic over time.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Oct 19 2025

Superb album! Love the twists and turns it takes

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Oct 20 2025

This flows like water. Jazzy, rocky, poppy. Yet this stays organic.

Oct 21 2025

It's always Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned, but classics like this get overlooked. This album is laced with bangers. I did however tag the song 'Looking Through Gary Gilmore's Eyes' after, cause that is on my opinion their best song and it's not even on this album

Gris Gris by Dr. John

Got psychedelics?

Oct 23 2025

The true last classic this list is gonna give me. By that I mean one that's always in the conversation when talking about classic albums. And this hits nowhere for me. Too R 'n B/soul for me and too little what I loved about the Fugees.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Oct 25 2025

Beautiful voice, but doesn't quite get me going otherwise.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Oct 26 2025

Welp, guess this was the last one. It's dark, crazy and adventurous. Industrial meets symphonic meets avant garde. One thing it's not is cohesive. Which makes it feel like a random collection of songs instead of an album. Enjoyed it though.
