Popular Reviews

Suicide by Suicide

I award this album no stars and may god have mercy on your soul

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits

Tim Burton wrote this album about a immortal pirate who moves to New Orleans

Dookie by Green Day

20 something years later and I can still relate to feeling like a bag of shit inside a ball of anxiety. One of the best albums of the 90s

1-Star Albums (18)

All Ratings (227)

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Dec 08 2021

Great music to listen to on a calm Saturday morning.

London Calling by The Clash
Dec 09 2021

Great Lyrics, you can hear some of the influence on today’s artists. Best part is the original sound where it mixes pop, punk and what sounds like a drunken anthem about grocery shopping

Dec 10 2021

Listening to this was like seeing art. I have no idea what I’m looking at but I guess a ton of artists sampled these songs? Just not my cup o tea

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 13 2021

One of the best debut studio albums out there. Songs so nice I listened to them twice.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Dec 14 2021

Golden hippie music. Sgt Pepper probably got high listening to this album.

Soul Mining by The The
Dec 15 2021

Transports you to the 80’s

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 16 2021

The next baby boom will be attributed to this albums release

Pump by Aerosmith
Dec 17 2021

Wish I could give 3.5. Love the two hits but the rest seem repetitive

Dec 20 2021

This album would be the top of my list of I just got broken up with

Elastica by Elastica
Dec 21 2021

Solid 90’s grunge

Dec 22 2021

This is not an album I would say needs to be heard before I die. If anything, I would have preferred never to listen to this album. Sounds like a high school band

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 29 2021

Listened to this high and transported to a different dimension

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jan 05 2022

Not enough groove, too much wtf

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jan 06 2022

Great music, produced well, singing matches the vibe and even though the vocal directions were difficult they were executed perfectly

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 07 2022

20 something years later and I can still relate to feeling like a bag of shit inside a ball of anxiety. One of the best albums of the 90s

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Jan 12 2022

Gotta say, some interesting/ original sounds. Even though unfinished sweet sounds like an ode to bond music, it's still a weird/unique song

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 13 2022

Your grandma probably masterbated to this guy if not to this album. I have no idea how else to describe this

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jan 14 2022

Great album. Really likes the music but the name of it was misleading haha.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 19 2022

Great live album.

Debut by Björk
Jan 20 2022

Not a fan

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jan 24 2022

I appreciate the originality of the music paving the way to a new genre that helped create st peppers and others but I could not see myself listening to the album again for any reason or in any state.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 26 2022

I just couldn’t with this album. Someone needs to inform the manager of the website that sitars do not qualify a good album

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 27 2022

I’m not one of those cult fans of Bruce Springstein, but I am a fan of America, so I will inflate his rating to 5 instead of 4.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jan 28 2022

Great guitarist but could see myself listening to any of these songs

Queen II by Queen
Feb 01 2022

You would think this album was made for an 80s video game

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Feb 02 2022

A mix of Austin Powers, Peter Frampton, Ian Raymond from High Fidelity and much more. This album is like a Jackson Pollock painting, all over the place.

Purple Rain by Prince
Feb 03 2022

One of the most under rated guitarists. Visionary album

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Feb 07 2022

This entire album has been sampled, I guarantee. Great vibes and sounds.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Feb 08 2022

The temptations got me on Cloud 9. And I think the main guy is a Eunique

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Feb 10 2022

Kenya by Machito
Feb 11 2022

Sounds exactly like it’s name

High Violet by The National
Feb 14 2022

Too monotone for my liking

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

Dude has multiple 5 star albums. Wish he stayed around, could blessed us with even more.

Destroyer by KISS
Feb 16 2022

Best thing that Detroit has ever made

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 21 2022

One of the best albums. The original chill vibe. Fuckin love Paul Simon

Be by Common
Mar 02 2022

A 90s throwback without the 90s

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Mar 03 2022

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 07 2022

The Band by The Band
Mar 14 2022

Up on cripple creek alone is worth 5 stars

Moondance by Van Morrison
Mar 15 2022

Wonderful

Opus Dei by Laibach
Mar 16 2022

I’m sure you can appreciate the originality and genre inspiring but wtf is this shit

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Mar 17 2022

Beautiful, majestic, romantic are all the things this album is and I am not

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Mar 24 2022

I DM’d the C if you know what I mean. You can def tell how they basically created beastie boys

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Mar 25 2022

I am a fan of Trance and Techno and even I couldn’t follow this one. Maybe it was cause I was high, but I would argue that if anything it would have had a positive affect. Instead I it felt like I was at a weird NY one man show listening to an artistic interpretation of how someone was on a train.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 28 2022

STOP and my 90s nostalgia go together like peas and carrots Jenny

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 30 2022

1989 by Taylor Swift
Apr 04 2022

I did get down to that sick beat

Back In Black by AC/DC
Apr 05 2022

Among the hits, rock and roll aint noise pollution is the ode to rock the world needed in 1980. AC/DC, showing you can have beauty in the simple and then party like motley crue

Suicide by Suicide
Apr 06 2022

I award this album no stars and may god have mercy on your soul

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Apr 07 2022

Great samples, beats, bars, and bangers. Could not ask for more out of an album

The La's by The La's
Apr 12 2022

One hit wonder with an REM vibe.

Boston by Boston
Apr 13 2022

Good album if there’s a bunch of dads around

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Apr 14 2022

Great album but not his best. The subtlety transports you to a ranch in the spring

Atomizer by Big Black
Apr 15 2022

You have to listen to this loud to match the vocals with the instruments or else you’ll hear more instruments than the vocals. Which is either brilliant for a punk band or just because I listened on YouTube

The Slider by T. Rex
Apr 20 2022

Not my cup of tea but I def thought this was going to be less flowery and more like metal

Microshift by Hookworms
Apr 21 2022

Very chill but somewhat unique vibe. No bangers/ memorable songs to me though

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Apr 22 2022

I always respect anyone who uses the accordion outside of Polka

May 06 2022

Good sound but could not get into it

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
May 12 2022

If the Beatles and Oasis made a band with less talent

May 18 2022

Take On Me deserves 3 stars. There’s not much else on the album but you might get into 1 or 2 other songs

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 19 2022

Made me think of Ron Burgundy playing the flute.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
May 20 2022

Another 90’s British punk group that sounds like a 90’s British punk group

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
May 23 2022

Whit woman singing soul music makes me feel dirty. But the songs are good

The White Album by Beatles
Jun 06 2022

It’s crazy to think that this is probably one of the greatest albums ever made but not even one of the best Beatles albums. Fuckin yoko just had to ruin it for everyone

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 07 2022

Pretty dark until you hear “here comes your man”. Did they sneak that song in thinking people wouldnt notice?

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 09 2022

Ray of light has a special place in my heart but this album is garbage

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Oct 19 2022

90s music with an 80s vibe. Interesting but not captivating

Oct 20 2022

Kind of sounds like Chvrches. Pop 80s vibe but with modern sound engineering. Good underrated album

Oct 21 2022

90s garage band if the band had unlimited instruments. Half expecting a kazoo to come out of the woodwork. Piano saves this band tho

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Dec 07 2022

Jan 13 2023

Experts in their craft. Couldn’t find a bad thing to say other than I’m not a fan of blues music.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 19 2023

Garage band album with no real melody. This is why I hate a majority of punk. Bands choose to be creative with there sound but forget the goal is to make music. So you used this cool new sounds to make a song, awesome. Just because I can be the first to shit into a microphone doesn’t mean it’s a good song.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Mar 03 2023

Groovy for sure

Cross by Justice
Apr 04 2023
