Popular Reviews

Sister by Sonic Youth

i love this album. have never been able to decide if i like this or daydream nation better. they're both excellent.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith

thank god this doesn't suffer from 80s production disease because i am a giant sucker for her voice and these kinds of songs. ultimately felt kinda middling but nice.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

i do not care for the kids bop style cover of born to run overall this is fine, title track kinda rocks and relax is a hit, but mostly i was bored

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 26 2022

This is obviously great, but I think i prefer mayfield releases where he sings more because i love his voice so much. The instrumentals are lovely but they don't feel like the main draw for me in a mayfield release.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 29 2022

god this album is totally fine but 90s brit pop is so annoying to me for some reason. cannot imagine ever listening to this again.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Apr 30 2022

i'm so embarrassed for them by proxy when i listen to this. just the corniest stones/zeppelin/air quotes classic rock rip off shit in the world lol

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 01 2022

objectively very solid but i have no emotional connection to it and cannot imagine ever choosing to listen to it

May 02 2022

i thought wowee zowee was my favorite but upon revisiting this is by far my favorite pavement album it's so good

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
May 03 2022

this album is a treasure

Sister by Sonic Youth
May 05 2022

i love this album. have never been able to decide if i like this or daydream nation better. they're both excellent.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
May 06 2022

man, i wanted to love but it felt solid but not incredible. a couple great tracks, nice production overall. i had never heard of this one though so it was nice to find something new!

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
May 07 2022

so good obviously

Eternally Yours by The Saints
May 08 2022

what a pleasant surprise, love a punk album from this era that totally rocks that i have barely ever heard of

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
May 09 2022

thank god this doesn't suffer from 80s production disease because i am a giant sucker for her voice and these kinds of songs. ultimately felt kinda middling but nice.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
May 11 2022

this is totally solid but nothing hits like on if you're feeling sinister imo

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
May 14 2022

fucking unreal album. i cannot believe i never had taken the time to listen to this what a dummy i am.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 15 2022

solid but i feel like after the singles it kinda drops off

May 16 2022

is it rude to say that this album consists of a bunch of pretty good starting points and riffs but it only in a couple of places coheres into greatness

The Wall by Pink Floyd
May 17 2022

i swear to god i cannot abide david gilmour's guitar playing for more than one song at a time. i desperately want to like pink floyd but they are just not my speed. the wall is the album equivalent of that person who is like "i'm really in to classical music" but it turns out what they're really in to is movie sound tracks lmao. i realize this is an elitist thing to say.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
May 18 2022

this feels like a time machine i love it. damn do these synths sound incredible and the use of phasing and looping throughout rips. awesome discovery for me!!

Horses by Patti Smith
May 19 2022

it has been WAY too long since i listened to this basically perfect album

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 20 2022

i hate to say it but i think bob marley is overrated. i genuinely wanted to like this one and it just felt kinda boring.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
May 21 2022

some albums on this list are going to be weirdly difficult for me to rate and experience because of how culturally omni present they are. this is an example of one of those album. it's obviously lovely but i just can't get in to it.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
May 22 2022

i do not care for the kids bop style cover of born to run overall this is fine, title track kinda rocks and relax is a hit, but mostly i was bored

High Violet by The National
May 24 2022

man idk i really tried to have an open mind but this album is boring as shit

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 25 2022

lovely but prob my least fave of his

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
May 26 2022

boy idk this is boring and fine

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
May 27 2022

i love john cale most of all but also i think this is my favorite VU i cannot square the circle

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
May 28 2022

i put this on expecting to give it a three because i've always liked the singles but not the whole album but today this hit HARD. something about corgan's voice takes me back to being a little kid listening to the radio and thinking about how big the world was.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 30 2022

#2 sabbath imo

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 31 2022
