Popular Reviews

L'autre... by Mylène Farmer

I went to high school (in the U.S.) with a guy who got deep into French pop music. Mylène Farmer was one of his main obsessions, the other being Alizée. But you know what? He was right about Mylène Farmer - this bops!

I used to listen to this album a lot. The first four tracks are incredibly strong, and while I don't think the rest of the album quite hits the same highs, it's still a band at the peak of their powers. If only Jesse Lacey weren't a creep.

Mouth Sounds by Neil Cicierega

It's kind of a joke album, but I had a lot of fun listening to it. It's just packed full of jokes, and the mashups are based on bops, so it's a fun trip. It's the best version of Chocolate Rain that I've heard.

Sing To God by Cardiacs
Apr 12 2025

Probably one of the worst bands to enjoy some level of success. I'm all for weird (love The Residents), but Cardiacs are so abrasive and jumbled and rather one-note in their sound and style. "Dirty Boy" is not bad and was my introduction to them. It was distinct enough to encourage me to look into them more. But then everything else of theirs just kind of runs together with their frenetic weirdness.

I like Bob Mould, and he can craft a really good hook, but this album fell flat for me.

4.5 rounding up to 5 - great band, really cool album artwork across their albums.

The Great Outdoors Jam by Pigeons Playing Ping Pong

Much too long. I was really enjoying "Offshoot," loved the appearance of the Pink Panther theme, and then it just kept going and going.

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo
Aug 12 2025

Really feeling the influence of Billie Eilish as I listen to this, the whisper-quiet sections, but contrasted here with bombast and a little more punk rock attitude. Pretty solid overall.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel
Aug 13 2025

One song at a time is fine, but I can't do a whole album of Neutral Milk Hotel. I find they really start to grate on me. I walked out of Pitchfork 2014 as they were playing.

Toxicity by System Of A Down

Don't Say No by Billy Squier
Aug 23 2025

And I thought Jeff Buckley wanted to be Robert Plant

I was ready to write this off, but there are some bangers on here displaying a diversity of sounds and style. "Long Nights of Summer" is a highlight for me.

O by Damien Rice

Hoo boy, this is sad guy music

The Fame by Lady Gaga
Sep 13 2025

There are some strong songs here, but I think a lot of the production and overall sound seem rather tacky and dated now.

TEKKNO by Electric Callboy

Pop by GAS
Oct 04 2025

Not bad at all, but so minimal and ethereal so as to almost disappear.

Take to the Skies by Enter Shikari
Oct 09 2025

I've enjoyed a later album of theirs, but I knew this was going to be rough when they opened with just yelling "shit" twice.

Wow, this is super fun. Really loved hearing Bulldog's Entrance from Looney Tunes sampled in Bus to Beelzebub.

Beautiful Midnight by Matthew Good Band

Sounds like a bargain bin Live to me with a splash of REM thrown in.

WE ARE by Jon Batiste
Dec 09 2025
Pony Express Record by Shudder To Think
Dec 10 2025

Initially, I was going to rate this a 2. I think the vocals can be fairly grating, however, I noticed more interesting songs/song elements as the album played on. No Rm. 9 Kentucky is a pretty cool track. Chakka's not bad either. It's clear that they were experimenting and trying to push their sound. I'll certainly take something imperfect and interesting or unique versus a sound that's bland and inoffensive. I think I was expecting something more like Stone Temple Pilots or Toadies but I had to recalibrate for a sound more like Faith No More's.
