Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes

I honestly didn’t mind listening to this one but why is there so much talking!?!? After the first time listening to the album you would have to skip wayyyy ahead on the last song.

1-Star Albums (6)

All Ratings (181)

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 14 2022

Have heard most of these songs before. If released today they would still be hits.

Mar 15 2022

Not a bad album but there is no outright awesome song. Gives me a Bruno Mars vibe.

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Mar 17 2022

Forgettable album. Nothing very unique about this band. Only a couple good songs.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Mar 18 2022

Can’t get behind this one. Couldn’t even finish the whole album. Not my type of music

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 21 2022

I wanted to like because it’s The Who but I was honestly disappointed. Kind of stopped paying attention to it after a while

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Mar 23 2022

Not a bad album. Enjoyed some songs. Actually found that song Lovefool from this album. Good listen.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 24 2022

Some big song on that one! I can get down to some Aretha!

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 25 2022

Just an okay album. No bangers

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Mar 28 2022
The La's by The La's
Mar 29 2022

The albums starts out pretty good. Very catchy songs that aren’t bad to listen too. The last three songs on the album are terrible. I can see myself listening this album in the future.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Mar 30 2022

Terrible album. Were there even words!?!? I just heard so mumbles and sounds. Yuck

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Mar 31 2022

Great easy listening album. Has a unique voice with an alternative sound. I like all the sounds created in the album. The pony street is awesome.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Apr 01 2022

Gary Burton is a magician on the vibes. This was a long album but an album where it’s mostly background music for working.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 05 2022

Woh! Smashing Pumkins are legendary. Billy Corgan is an absolute MONSTER singer. You can pick his voice out from anywhere. Not the best album they have but still has some huge songs on this album and they never forget their true rock feel with heavy guitar and drums.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Apr 06 2022

What a great album. This is before Coldplay went super pop. They are very relaxing songs. Could see me playing them soaking up the sun in summer.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 07 2022

Great voice. Not the best at varying sounds. After a few songs they sound the same to me. Missing the huge hits for this album.

Apr 12 2022

Very strange album. Good background music with some cool drum fills in there. Altogether not a bad album but it is forgettable. Probably won’t listen to again.

Fun House by The Stooges
Apr 13 2022

Killer guitar in this album. How can you go wrong with these solo’s? Definitely going to put this album on my revisit later list.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Apr 14 2022

Not a bad album. I’m not a biggest knot fan. A little too hard for my taste but if you listen to the drum fills they are really good. I tend to find myself listening to just the drums rather then the overall song.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Apr 15 2022

Not too much here. Good study music but not something you really want to pay too much attention to.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 18 2022

The actual album as a whole is not the greatest but if you just listen to the guitar it’s amazing. Jimi is a wizard on the axe

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Apr 20 2022

Not my style of music. No drums and no guitar

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Apr 21 2022

Does this guy ever actually sing or just talk into the mic the whole time?

Solid Air by John Martyn
Apr 22 2022

Not feeling this guy as a singer. Need more rock. Maybe come back and listen to this guy when it’s not Friday afternoon.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 25 2022

Some rockin guitar riffs goin on here. Not their best album but I can definitely see myself checking out this one again.

Apr 26 2022

I haven’t listened to this whole album before but have heard about it. It did not disappoint. Great album for such a weird and out there sound.

Moondance by Van Morrison
May 02 2022

I liked this more than I thought. It’s got that old school feeling to it.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
May 03 2022

What the heck is this??? There is no rhyme or reason to the music. This is where jazz loses me. It’s not bad to listen to, just not remember able in any way

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
May 04 2022

Some killer guitar riffs happening on this album but I don’t understand why this would be a top album. Nothing to separate them between other bands.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
May 05 2022

Groovy beats

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 06 2022

Never heard of them before this. They are really good. What an album. She has a really great voice and the songs do differ a lot. Great sound

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 09 2022

The guitar is amazing in this album but I can’t get past the singer. His voice is not the greatest and it’s hard to understand what he says.

A Walk Across The Rooftops by The Blue Nile
May 11 2022

This guy has a great voice and the song sound very different from each other.

Ramones by Ramones
May 16 2022

I’ve definitely have heard some songs from them before and was honestly really excited to see this album for the day. I was disappointed to say the least. All the songs sound the same and there is only that one hit. Great rock feel but overall disappointing.

Face to Face by The Kinks
May 17 2022

Missing some bangers

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
May 18 2022

Some crazy sounds happening here. I really dig the different sounds between songs. Could definitely see myself listening again.

The Yes Album by Yes
May 19 2022

Yes, that’s the name of the band. Listen to Roundabout. It will blow the classical music out your butt!

Jun 08 2022

Not a band album or band but they’re just alright. No huge bangers or anything. Sometimes get the vibe of Coldplay

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 10 2022

Didn’t peak my interest. Had it playing but after the 3 initial songs it was just alright

Jun 13 2022

Her rapping is very good. But I HATE all the talking between songs. It ruins it for me. Without the dialogue it would be great.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jun 14 2022

You have to be in the right mindset when listening to Kendrick. Very talented but overall he has better albums.

Soul Mining by The The
Jun 15 2022

Never heard of the the before but I was pleasantly surprised. There music is very different and I very much enjoyed the album. Killer music in the background

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jun 17 2022

His voice is nothing special. I don’t seem to like this album very much. Pass

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 20 2022

This album hits different. They have a very distinct sound. Their greatest hits albums is really good.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 21 2022

This is their second best album and it’s pretty great. Wish Green Day was still this good. Now they only put out an occasional single that’s alright and you forget about it a week later.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jun 22 2022

I honestly didn’t mind listening to this one but why is there so much talking!?!? After the first time listening to the album you would have to skip wayyyy ahead on the last song.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 23 2022
The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Jun 24 2022

Dang, these guys can rip! I’ve actually heard a number of these songs before but have never heard of the band before. Great album.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 27 2022

Not the greatest of albums. The artist has Hallelujah and that’s it. Without that song I would have given it a worse score for sure.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 28 2022

Wonderful! 😂 This album is always on the list for best albums of all time.

Jun 30 2022

This is perfect timing. Just got done listening to a tribe called quest and now this. Just starting to get into 90s hip hop and this is definitely a banger!

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 01 2022

Just not the biggest fan of jazz. Miles is a legend but it can’t hold my attention. Faded in to background music almost immediately.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jul 04 2022

A couple good ones but not amazing. Average. Would rather just listen to individual songs

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jul 06 2022

This guy can not sing. Couldn’t make it through the album

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jul 08 2022

The jazz sounds good but the actual singing just sounds like the same words over and over.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jul 12 2022

As the album went on it got worse and worse for me. Way better albums for Bowie out there over this one

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jul 14 2022

I will not be revisiting this album. The name caught my attention from the very beginning but after the initial songs I lost all hope. Couldn’t get into them.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jul 19 2022

Good DJ music but nothing amazing. Just good background music

Revolver by Beatles
Jul 20 2022

I’m not the biggest Beatles fan 😬. But the album is good

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 22 2022

Not amazing. Needs the rest of the Beatles. Just got a name from them and tried to go solo. Didn’t work out so well

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 26 2022

Just another album. Few songs that are great and I like the Pixies but nothing jumps out to me as YES I love this.

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Jul 29 2022

Didn’t make it through the album. I’m not listening to something I can’t understand.

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Aug 03 2022

Every song sounds the same and there is no jam

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 09 2022

No bangers but his voice is good and the songs appear to be very different from eachother. Paxton’s wedding screwed this guy for me. 😂

Aug 10 2022

Nothing amazing but there is so music here. Missing a few great songs

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 16 2022

The beginning starts off with 2 good songs and then nothing.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Aug 18 2022
Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Oct 21 2022
The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 26 2022
More Specials by The Specials
Oct 27 2022

Almost a 4 star. There is an island vibe to this band and I really enjoy it but not enough good songs.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Apr 10 2023
Scott 2 by Scott Walker
May 11 2023

This is like a play. Not interested after the first song

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 12 2023

I think it’s a great album but I think it’s over hyped. There are a lot of people out there saying this is the best album of all time. It’s good but not THAT good

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 07 2024

The instrumental part is great but I can't stand listening to music when I don't know what they're saying. I don't speak spanish!

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Sep 18 2024

Not my style of music but I do understand how this is a good album.

Be by Common
Sep 24 2024
Kenya by Machito
Sep 27 2024
Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Oct 02 2024

Her voice is good but I am not one for this type of music. Play music is not my thang.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Oct 10 2024
The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Oct 15 2024

This guy can really play. It was a good change of pace from the music i usually listen to and was expecially good for listening to while working. A good background music you can tune in and out of at any time

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Sep 12 2025

Has its main songs then the other fall very short
