Popular Reviews

Bright Flight by Silver Jews

It's weird, it's quirky, it's not great, but there is something about it that keeps me listening, and I'm seeking out their other work to listen to, so I guess I like it? really not sure how to feel about this.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 08 2022

Pretty decent, not my jam. Listenable, wouldn't turn it off, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen. 2.5/5 but giving 3

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jul 09 2022

Not my sound, but not offensive.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Jul 10 2022

There are some good songs, but I wouldn't search out the majority of them.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 11 2022

Not a terrible album, but as it's a remaster there are a lot of the same track, and not all of them are successful. Wouldn't turn it off though.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 12 2022

This one evokes a lot of memories from the high school, so is an instant classic in my mind. Objectively it's a good album, regardless though, I will always enjoy it and turn it up, but it's got it's flaws.

Jul 13 2022

Very 80s, Nice little jam, some good songs, but too 80s for me to appreciate heavily.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Jul 19 2022

It's weird, it's quirky, it's not great, but there is something about it that keeps me listening, and I'm seeking out their other work to listen to, so I guess I like it? really not sure how to feel about this.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jul 20 2022

Not bad, not great, a few good songs, but nothing special.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jul 21 2022

Not my jam, music was entirely forgettable, not completely offensive, nothing jumped out.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 22 2022

Too long, 79 minutes is too long. A mix between experimental, good, and absolute garbage songs. I can't justify really ever playing this album again, though there were some songs that were good. It's on that border between 1 & 2.

The Slider by T. Rex
Jul 23 2022

Not my sound, but easy listening for sure, and definitely something I wouldn't go out of my way to turn off.

Jul 24 2022

I mean for 1 it's Dylan, IMO one of the greatest of all time. Some banging songs on here, it's on my playlists for sure.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jul 27 2022

Random noises, may be good for a sound track, but not an album I'm expected to listen to.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 28 2022

A couple great songs, the rest was mostly forgettable. Enjoyable background music though.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jul 29 2022

Never heard of the band before, but Layla is a song I'm familiar with. Some pretty good songs on the album, enjoyable, not my fav, but will play it again.

Jul 30 2022

Dylan is just too good, some great songs, some fall a little flat to me, but on my rotations for sure.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jul 31 2022

Not bad, enjoyable, some good songs, but didn't make me want to explore the rest of his Discography

Aug 01 2022

Not my normal sound, but well done, some great songs, wouldn't mind listening to their other work.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 03 2022

Some good songs, not something I would listen to all the time, but has a good sound, and has found a place on my lists.

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 05 2022

Songs are too long, vocals too quiet, but okay as background.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Aug 06 2022

Not amazing, I wouldn't listen to it by choice, most of the songs are inoffensive though.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Aug 07 2022

It's not bad, but it didn't earn a spot on my playlists. I wouldn't ask for it to be changed, but wouldn't ask for it to ever be played.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Aug 08 2022

Some great songs on there, Cohen IMO is one of the greats, while not all of the songs may be my fav, they are all great.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Aug 12 2022

Most of the songs aren't terrible, there are a few i really don't enjoy, and they kind of ruin the album for me. There are a few okay songs on here, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Aug 13 2022

Some great songs, amongst a few I wasn't a fan of, I've heard her music before, but wouldn't have been able to put a name to the song, I'll explore some of her other work. 3.5

Aug 14 2022

It's not bad, I hadn't heard of these guys before, but very similar to the rap I grew up with.

Aug 15 2022

Some interesting songs, not really my preference, but not bad at all.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Aug 23 2022

pretty meh overall, expected more, but maybe it's just a product of it's time. Sultans of Swing was good, but the rest really didn't make me want to listen to more. It was not bad though, just ok.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Aug 24 2022

Some of this album is too pop for me, but some is pretty good, it's somewhere between a 3 and a 4 for me, I enjoyed most of it, and even the tracks I didn't like weren't bad, just not my thing.

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Aug 25 2022

There is some really good music here, a little too funky for me to listen to regularly, but it's very good. Some meaningful music.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Aug 26 2022

Ella Fitzgerald has an amazing voice, it's a little slow for me, and not really my thing, but her voice is incredible.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Aug 27 2022

I always kind of dismissed Taylor, but she's got a quite good voice, while this album wasn't the greatest thing I've ever heard it was enjoyable, and I probably will end up listening to at least a few others.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Aug 28 2022

Some great songs for sure, not my favourite, but would listen again.

Aug 29 2022

Surprising, Silence kid started out really not to my taste. but quickly pivoted to a song I could listen to, as were most of the ones in this album.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Aug 30 2022

Pretty great, I love her voice, and the lyrics.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Aug 31 2022

Really enjoyed this one. never really listened to Jefferson Airplane, but had heard of them. I'll be checking out their other albums

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Sep 01 2022

An undeniable legend in the music industry, it's great background music, but isn't really my jam, but it deserves its place on this list.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Sep 02 2022

Pretty iconic, I like their sound, it has a place, it's not a daily listen, but scratches a certain itch every now and then.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Sep 03 2022

While it may be great music, it's not something I would listen to again, it gets a 2 for being important for the music scene, but not being a great listen.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Sep 04 2022

A classic, but not something I enjoyed, the music is good, but just not doing it for me.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Sep 05 2022

Not my favorite, but some of the songs are pretty decent.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 06 2022

Johnny is one of my favs some absolute classics in this one.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Sep 07 2022

This is an amazing album, it's just a shame about Jerrys personal life. It makes it really hard to rate this as high as it should be, but taking that out of the equation as much as possible, and just rating the music this deserves to be high.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Sep 08 2022

I can't hear the words clearly enough to understand what they are singing, or even what language it is. It's very un-engaging to my senses, despite trying to listen to the album I just found that I tuned it out. I realized that I had tuned out that I didn't even remember listening to 5 of the tracks.

Diamond Life by Sade
Sep 11 2022

Great background music, but not for me.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Sep 12 2022

Not my favorite of their albums, but it's good some great songs on it.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Sep 13 2022

Not my favorite of their albums but still a good one.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Sep 15 2022

Not an amazing album.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Sep 16 2022

A couple good songs, 1 great song, but this is about peak Manson, and still the album as a whole isn't that great.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Sep 17 2022

Quirky, odd, not for me. There are a couple tracks that I enjoyed on this, but for the most part I didn't enjoy it.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Sep 18 2022

Came into it with low expectations, but was surprisingly really enjoyable. A few bangers, and the rest were all enjoyable.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Sep 19 2022

Better then expected. Not amazing, but for the time was pretty interesting.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Oct 16 2022

Some good tracks, occasional brilliant, but not really my jam so gets a bit docked for that.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Oct 17 2022

It's not bad, not my style, I can see the appeal though.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 18 2022

Sounds easy listening, some great songs, not their best albumn, but enjoyable nonetheless.

Suede by Suede
Oct 19 2022

meh, not terrible, but wouldn't go out of my way to listen.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Oct 21 2022

Not my sound, not terrible though.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Oct 22 2022

Great background music, some nice vocals, nothing that I would say is absolutely amazing though it is all very pleasant.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Oct 23 2022

Not great, not inspired, the sound can be good, but some of the songs are more screaming then they are singing.

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Oct 24 2022

Electronica is not my sound, this was worse than normal.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Nov 05 2022

Miles is amazing, this album is really good, it's not my favourite genre of music, but it's an enjoyable listen, and the talent on display is amazing.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Nov 06 2022

One good track, the rest is not really for me, and even the one good track isn't great.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Nov 07 2022

A few bangers, but overall not my cup of tea. Those bangers are real bangers though.

Pornography by The Cure
Nov 08 2022

Love The Cure, some good tracks, it's good.

Nov 09 2022

Not bad, some good music in this one, not mind-blowing but good listening.

Nov 29 2022

Overall not that impressed, there were a couple decent tracks, but not enough to save it from a mediocre rating.

Cut by The Slits
Nov 30 2022

This is pretty terrible.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Dec 01 2022

Theme is great, but the rest is not anything amazing, I'd rank a bunch of soundtracks higher than this. The Theme gets it out of 1 star though, so there is that.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 03 2022

Pretty decent, I enjoyed it.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Dec 05 2022

Enjoyed it, some songs much better than others.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Dec 06 2022

I quite enjoyed this, it's eclectic, and all over the place, but there is a charm to it. Not every song is a winner, but enough are, and even those I didn't enjoy are still good.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Dec 07 2022

Some real bangers on here, and the rest are still good.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 08 2022

Great debut album, really like the sound. Somehow I never heard this album of theirs before and I enjoyed it.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Dec 09 2022

Dylan, not all are gems, but he's a master and I enjoy the sound.
