Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers

Half the time I can’t tell if they’re being intentionally simplistic or just tired.

Abraxas by Santana

Yes, Santana can play guitar. Cool. Clap clap. But guess what? Just because you can solo for five minutes doesn’t mean I want to hear it. The whole album is basically: solo, bongos, repeat.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson

I kept waiting for that one standout song, turns out they all stood out equally, by being forgettable.

Sounds like a really lovely nap I didn’t mean to take.

The Clash by The Clash

Proof that yelling, guitar riffs, and chaos can actually be catchy

Hysteria by Def Leppard

Not bad for an album with one arm in the air and the other on the snare. Solid, but not quite a knockout. Still, props to the drummer for doing it with style!

Da Capo by Love

Bad Company by Bad Company

In Our Heads by Hot Chip

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy

Usually, live albums make me want to hit ‘mute’ on the crowd noise. But Live and Dangerous actually nailed it—great sound, no ‘WOOOs,’ just pure rock.

Proof that my parents needed to hide both the liquor and the CD player

Orbital 2 by Orbital

Orbital said: let’s make one idea last an hour… and somehow made it feel longer.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear

Nothing special, and I don’t remember the days of slavery.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones

Garbage by Garbage

Turns out Garbage isn’t actually garbage. Who knew? If my trash bin sounded this good, I'd never take it out.

Who's Next by The Who

Amazing album, but something’s missing… and I can’t explain.

The Next Day by David Bowie

My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts by Brian Eno

This album is 40% groove, 60% exorcism. I feel spiritually disrupted.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison

Great tunes, but the crowd's louder than my morning alarm. Not a fan of live albums, but if you are, enjoy the chaos!

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis

Sounds like it was recorded through a tin can – and live albums? Not my thing. But hey, Jerry Lee's energy is hard to ignore.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex

A punk rock tantrum – loud, messy, and you’re not sure if you should applaud or call for help.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello

Brutal Youth? More like Brutal me! This is the sixth album I've listened to on this journey and somehow Elvis Costello made it feel like the sixth circle of hell. He sounds like a man angrily reading Yelp reviews over a garage band. I survived, but at what cost?

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers

Didn’t love the music, but I respect any duo that can harmonize about heartbreak, hellfire, and homicide.

Roots by Sepultura

Sounds like a rainforest declared war on a metal band and they just decided to jam it out instead. 3/5 because I respect the chaos, even if my ears are filing a noise complaint.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club

Everyone says this album is ‘raw’ and ‘intense.’ Sure, if by that they mean it sounds like it was recorded in a basement during an exorcism. 3/5 because apparently ‘yelling with conviction’ is enough to be a classic now.

Live! by Fela Kuti

This felt more like a jam session you walk past at a festival than a life-changing masterpiece. Solid grooves, sure—but 3/5 for me. I came for fireworks, got an incense stick.

Konnichiwa by Skepta

Like being trapped on the London Underground with a guy who won’t stop free-styling into his phone. No thank you, mate. Sayonara!

Mott by Mott The Hoople

Like Bowie fanfiction set to garage rock. All strut, no starpower.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Eddie’s still in diapers, but the chaos is real.

Tommy by The Who

Feels like Keith Moon is auditioning for the lead role in a drumming competition no one else signed up for.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes

Growing up in Iceland, this album wasn’t ‘alternative’ it was just what the radio played between sheep forecasts and volcano updates.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement

Listening to Pavement is like getting stuck in a gray cloud, you keep waiting for the sun to come out, but nope, just more mumbling and guitars that sound allergic to tuning.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

Five stars and a therapy session.

Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) … and nine other tracks that clearly weren’t.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray

Felt like I was being gently haunted by a stylish ghost who just wants me to dance in slow motion.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Pictures at an Exhibition? More like Pictures of me checking my watch every five minutes. Live albums already test my patience, but this one felt like a very loud museum tour I couldn't escape.

S&M by Metallica

Metallica plus a symphony sounded epic in theory. In practice, it’s just good songs getting mugged by a French horn while drunk fans scream over it. Live albums: where great music goes to get interrupted.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell

I respect Joni Mitchell’s legacy. I just don't know why it sounds like light jazz for people who knit their own socks.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa

This album made me grow a mustache I can’t remove.

Pump by Aerosmith

Every song is basically a pick-up line in leather pants.

Something Else By The Kinks by The Kinks

The Kinks really called the album Something Else because even they knew it wasn’t ‘something great.’

Strangeways, Here We Come by The Smiths

I love The Smiths, but this felt like watching your favorite band break up in real time. And not even in a dramatic way — just awkward silence and passive-aggressive lyrics.

Kick Out The Jams (Live) by MC5

Live albums are the sound of my patience dying. MC5, I couldn’t hear anything over the chaos.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music

The album is 90% attitude, 10% actual music.

Kenza by Khaled

Imagine… if it was way worse.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers

I went in expecting garbage and came out spiritually concussed.

Superunknown by Soundgarden

Soundgarden makes the apocalypse sound sexy.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

Lou Reed really said ‘what if instead of heroin we tried therapy?

A Northern Soul by The Verve

This album sounds like someone gave Oasis a philosophy degree and locked them in a fog machine.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto

This album doesn’t take you to the beach... it takes you to the gift shop.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson

This album marched so I could run… away.

Eternally Yours by The Saints

This album is like a Tinder date, good first impression, then straight downhill.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey

I think this album was trying to hurt my feelings, but I’m dead inside.

Arrival by ABBA

ABBA makes heartbreak sound like a Eurovision afterparty where everyone’s smiling through tears and champagne.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead

Motörhead didn’t make music, they made legal steroids for your ears.

25 by Adele

This is the kind of music that makes you feel like you just got divorced, even if you're single.

People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by A Tribe Called Quest

Didn’t expect to love a hip hop album with a title longer than most IKEA receipts.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour

I respect it culturally, but musically? Felt like I was stuck in an airport waiting for a flight that never boards.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra

I get it, it’s classy. But if charm were a sleeping pill, this would be prescription-strength.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart

Like a guy at a party who brings his guitar and then plays for himself in the corner for 48 minutes.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead

Alive/Asleep. Yet another live album that sounds like a bunch of stoned uncles tuning their guitars for 75 minutes.

NEU! 75 by Neu!

Two guys arguing over who gets to play the same riff for 40 minutes. Spoiler: they both win, and we all lose. Not the hero I wanted. Not even a sidekick.

Chelsea Girl by Nico

No Velvet Underground, no fun!

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers

A soundtrack for rapping while wearing hemp sandals.

Music For The Jilted Generation by The Prodigy

Turned my living room into an illegal warehouse party.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young

This album is what I imagine plants listen to when they want to feel something.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson

I thought this would be cowboy grandpa music, and it is, but somehow it made me wanna ride into the sunset and rethink my life.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors

The Doors don’t just open here, they kick them off the hinges.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut

Coldcut invents Spotify shuffle 20 years too early and every song is a skip.

The Blueprint by JAY Z

I don’t usually like rap, but I gave this a shot because it’s the Jay-Z album. Sadly, it felt more like a blueprint for boredom.

Chris by Christine and the Queens

Impressive production. Shame about the music.

São Paulo Confessions by Suba

If ‘vibe’ was a crime, this album would be serving 25 to life for loitering with intent.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor

Nothing Compares 2 U is incredible. The rest? I guess nothing compares to that either.

Every Picture Tells A Story by Rod Stewart

If hangovers could sing!

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.

If Swan Lake had a rebellious teenage phase, Metal Box would be it, beautiful in theory, but mostly loud, weird, and a little bit terrifying.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics

Sounds like a bunch of angry teens broke into a studio, screamed into the mic, and somehow invented punk by accident.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis

By minute 12, I was begging the trumpet to stop. By minute 30, I was begging for death.

In It For The Money by Supergrass

Britpop’s forgotten middle child, still living off the hype of a cool older sibling.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley

I liked the goodbye part.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones

Great album, but that cover is a felony in some states.

Reign In Blood by Slayer

Sounds like hell and I mean that as a compliment and a complaint.
