Popular Reviews

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott

Not for me but I can see where Boring Dyling got his inspiration from.

High Violet by The National

As good as it gets. Great production, great music and fantastic lyrics.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 04 2022

It holds some of his most known songs and it is very well produced, but it's not for me.

The White Album by Beatles
Feb 07 2022

This album is mostly great but the greatness is combined with some annoying experimental songs that left out would make this a solid five star experience. Now it is a mediocre four.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 08 2022

Tangled up in Blue. ..this is great Simple Twist of Fate...this is also great Third track...this is not good Fourth track...goes on forever...boring Fifth...yes he is back on track Sixth, seventh and eight...nope this is plain boring Shelter from the storm...this is good Final song...nope The good song are really good, the rest is not so good. His voice can be very annoying, I hate the Hammond organ.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Feb 09 2022

It have some hits. Besides from that it is not much to have.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Feb 14 2022

Yes. This. Just. Yes! This is one these albums that have defined my taste in music. It might no be flawless. It might sound dated to some. But for me it is a walk down memory lane. And what a pleasant walk it is.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Feb 16 2022

What a pleasant surprise, I have read about him but never listened to an album before. Today I listened to this album three times. And shared it with a bunch of people as well.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 21 2022

This one my top five albums, one of the easiest five star reviews ever. Everthing they wrote and recorded around 88-91 are just magic.

High Violet by The National
Feb 22 2022

As good as it gets. Great production, great music and fantastic lyrics.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Feb 23 2022

Why is this album so highly rated? A bunch of boring songs sung by a man with a lousy voice.

Ramones by Ramones
Feb 25 2022

29 minutes of pure bliss. More sixties pop than punk.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Mar 02 2022

Never heard of him before, but then I read some and found out that I at least had heard him before - in the Bad Seeds. This record was very uneven, som songs are great other not so much. But I will listen to other records by Adamson, might find some gold.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 03 2022

Perhaps an import record at its time, not a personal favorite.

Protection by Massive Attack
Mar 07 2022

Super songs mixed with not so good songs.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Mar 09 2022

Not for me but I can see where Boring Dyling got his inspiration from.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Mar 10 2022

New artist. After one song...bye

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 11 2022

Yay..Pet shop boys, I rarely listen to any full album when it comes to this duo. Four songs in I remember why. This has not aged well. If I remember correctly I thought so when the album first came out as well.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Mar 18 2022
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 22 2022
Mar 25 2022

Early Pink Floyd is not like later Pink Floyd. Barret brought some whimsical songs to the table, some of them good some of them not so.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Apr 06 2022

Holds some of Grateful Deads best songs.

Easy 5 star. Yes all songs might not be up there but all in all it is an amazing album. Have listened to it for over 35 years, never feels outdated in any way.
