Loved their performance on Letterman. Great stuff!

The Mantle by Agalloch

Nice melodies and great guitar tone

Carolina Confessions by The Marcus King Band

This is okay, but feels unnecessary for an album from 2018

Two of the best to ever do it

Rock and roll! This is great stuff. I will definitely check out more by this band.

Slip by Quicksand

Cool that Opeth got an album title from this

Nail by Scraping Foetus off the Wheel

Oncle Jazz by Men I Trust
Nov 18 2025

A solid and pleasant album, but 71 minutes is too long.

Wildflowers by Tom Petty
Nov 24 2025

4.5* - I can't believe this isn't in the original list. Great addition!

Singles by Future Islands
Nov 27 2025

Loved their performance on Letterman. Great stuff!

Nov 28 2025

4.5* Great stuff. Some of my friends in college were crazy for this album. My boy, Frank, even sold his blood the day this album was released so he could go purchase the cd. Frank, if you're reading this, let's reconnect.

Once by Nightwish
Nov 30 2025

This sounds too goofy to take itself so seriously

El Circo by Maldita Vecindad Y Los Hijos Del 5to. Patio
Dec 02 2025

Great groove!

In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson
Dec 03 2025

Jack Johnson always reminded me of that guy that would bring his guitar to a college party so he could impress girls. This is certainly that, but it's a good version of that.

Phantom Power by The Tragically Hip
Dec 04 2025

This is like REM but not as good

Carolina Confessions by The Marcus King Band
Dec 05 2025

This is okay, but feels unnecessary for an album from 2018

Nearer My God by Foxing
Dec 07 2025

This is like a combo of other acts that I like better

Geography by Tom Misch
Dec 08 2025

Not for me. This combined a lot of my least favorite elements of music.

The Mantle by Agalloch
Dec 12 2025

Nice melodies and great guitar tone

Peasant by Richard Dawson
Dec 13 2025

This guy is a goofball

Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen
Dec 14 2025

Kinda sounds like she's doing an okay impression of Britney Spears.

Pop by GAS
Dec 16 2025

Not big on ambient music and this unfortunately didn't change that. My favorite track was the last one had some fun momentum and reminds me of the good grime music that comes after this.

Grand Prix by Teenage Fanclub
Dec 19 2025

A fine rock album

Shack-man by Medeski, Martin & Wood
Dec 20 2025

Not particularly into this style of music

Revolution by Q65
Dec 21 2025

Solid. Can't believe I haven't heard this before. Thanks for adding to the list!

People Watching by Sam Fender
Dec 25 2025

This was solid. Some Springsteen desperation mixed with Arcade Fire earnestness.

F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Dec 30 2025

Love these guys. Great addition!

Puzzle by Biffy Clyro
Jan 01 2026
GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo
Jan 03 2026
Nia by Blackalicious
Jan 06 2026

Impeccable flow and great beats, but a little too long. It drags in some places.

Stretch 2 by Arca
Jan 09 2026

Not really my style, but at least it was short

Stella by Yello
Jan 10 2026

This isn't for me. Sounds dated but not in a cool way.

HEY WHAT by Low
Jan 12 2026

This isn't my favorite Low album - it isn't quite as good as earlier stuff

Spinvis by Spinvis

Dear You by Jawbreaker

Old No. 1 by Guy Clark
Jan 23 2026

In 2014? Seriously?

Korn by Korn
Jan 24 2026

Remember hidden tracks??

Control by Pedro The Lion
Jan 25 2026

This is pretty boring

Gemstones by Adam Green
Jan 28 2026

I like the sense of humor

Deadwing by Porcupine Tree
Jan 30 2026
Vs. by Pearl Jam
Feb 03 2026

The sopranos guys have based politics. Who knew?

Romance by Fontaines D.C.
Feb 05 2026

The name had me hyped but the tunes were a little underwhelming. Plus one star for not over-staying their welcome.

Lateralus by TOOL
Feb 09 2026

At one time this was my favorite album - for quite a few years actually. I remember buying it on the day it came out and digesting the first few tracks in my car during my lunch break. Good times.

Discovery by Daft Punk
Feb 10 2026

Some nice melodies and beats at times, but overstays its welcome

Body Talk by Robyn
Feb 12 2026

This is more like a 3.5, some real catchy tunes on this one.

Highway Prayers by Billy Strings
Feb 15 2026

Album is a little long, but undeniable talent

Re by Café Tacvba
Feb 20 2026
No.1 In Heaven by Sparks
Feb 24 2026

More Sparks! Always appreciated. La Dolce Vita and the title track are certified bangers.

Diorama by Silverchair
Feb 26 2026

A post-grunge symphony!

Norther by Ex-Easter Island Head
Mar 01 2026
St. Jude by Courteeners
Mar 06 2026

This reminds me a little of Arctic Monkeys and Okkervil River, but I like them better

Give Up by The Postal Service
Mar 07 2026
Alive Or Just Breathing by Killswitch Engage
Mar 09 2026

Saw these guys in 2004! Not my favorite melodic hardcore record, but a solid 3.5*.

This Land by Gary Clark Jr.
Mar 10 2026

Some pretty good tunes on here

Sublime by Sublime
Mar 13 2026

Instant 5* - great pick!

Dogrel by Fontaines D.C.
Mar 14 2026
Eye by Robyn Hitchcock
Mar 17 2026

This felt like an album full of Rolling Stones b-aides

Older by Lizzy McAlpine

Apr 12 2026
Lahai by Sampha
Apr 18 2026
People by The Burning Hell
Apr 19 2026

I like this, but it's held back because at times it reminds me of a Lambchop and Belle & Sebastian knockoff. However, there are some certified bangers on this album.

Game of Fools by Koritni
Apr 23 2026

This was alright, even enjoyable for a bit, but 51 minutes is too much.

Gordon by Barenaked Ladies
Apr 24 2026
Six by Mansun
Apr 28 2026
Forced Witness by Alex Cameron
May 06 2026

Some catchy songs on this one

Animals by Pink Floyd
May 07 2026
Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus
May 10 2026

Chet by Chet Baker
May 12 2026
Artaud by Pescado Rabioso
May 15 2026
Fear Inoculum by TOOL
May 16 2026

It sounds like a Tool album, but I like Tool albums

Triage by David Baerwald
May 27 2026
Pulse by Pink Floyd

Zuckerzeit by Cluster

City Of Evil by Avenged Sevenfold
Jun 14 2026

Was this a prank?

The Empyrean by John Frusciante
Jun 19 2026

Who was asking for this?

Roadhouse 01 by Allan Rayman
Jun 20 2026

Who was asking for this?

Sing To God by Cardiacs
Jun 22 2026

Not overly find of this brand of schizophrenic rock - especially a double album

Come On Come On by Mary Chapin Carpenter
Jun 23 2026

Starts out okay but really drags by the end

The Unutterable by The Fall
Jun 26 2026

I want to like the Fall more than I ever actually end up liking the Fall

Images and Words by Dream Theater
Jun 28 2026

Dream Theater is a bit of an acquired taste

Auri by Auri
Jul 03 2026
HELLYEAH by HELLYEAH
Jul 04 2026

There's much better southern metal out there. Listen to that instead.

I Am by Earth, Wind & Fire
Jul 07 2026
Pink by Boris
Jul 09 2026

A masterful mixture of noise and catchy riffs!

Violet by The Birthday Massacre
Jul 10 2026
Argus by Wishbone Ash
Jul 12 2026
When It Falls by Zero 7
Jul 16 2026

Kinda chill but ultimately boring

Tindersticks by Tindersticks
Aug 02 2026

70 minutes?! Nuts to this slog.

Englabörn by Jóhann Jóhannsson
Aug 04 2026

Great accompaniment to a stroll through the Cleveland Museum of Art

Millennium by Backstreet Boys
Aug 05 2026

A couple decent bangers but too many sappy ballads

Excitable Boy by Warren Zevon
Aug 07 2026

I can't believe this isn't in the original list.

Silent Hill 2 by Akira Yamaoka
Aug 10 2026

Accompanied me on part of a long drive. Not something I would normally choose, but it was enjoyable and the tracks were varied. Highlights include Love Psalm and true.

Nimrod by Green Day
Aug 11 2026

Solid and smooth pop punk. You can detect some of their earlier edge bubbling underneath the surface.
