Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt

Excellent album, great singing, great instrumentals. Great all around.

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (89)

Aug 01 2022

Starts off very strong, falls off a bit but still overall solid album. Some surprising folksy stuff in there.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Aug 02 2022

Not bad, probably wouldn't relisten. Can hear some of the early development of rock guitar sounds coming through.

Be by Common
Aug 03 2022

Starts strong, ends strong. Great flow and beats. Lyrics are decent. It's Your World and Love Is are favorites.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Aug 04 2022

Surprisingly good rock music. Lots of great tracks.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Aug 05 2022

Excellent album. So many good tracks.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Aug 09 2022

British Punk Rock with some psychadelic/surf rock and probably better descriptions deep in there. GREAT ALBUM.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Aug 10 2022

Southern Rock for people who already like Southern Rock. Bland lyrics, bad singing, bad mix, okay guitar, bland drums. Not a good album at all.

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Aug 12 2022

Excellent album, great singing, great instrumentals. Great all around.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Aug 17 2022

Solid album. Not well versed in this style so it sounds a bit the same but good to just have on.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Aug 18 2022

Doesn't hold up over the years. A product of its time. Some of the lyrics are good but somewhat repetitive and most of the beats are fairly simple.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Aug 19 2022

Very fun album. Got great rhythm and lots of variety of songs.

Aug 23 2022

Very British 60's rock and I love it. Of course its not anywhere near as tight as Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here (my personal favorite), but it brings a full experience of psychadelic sounds and lyrics. This won't be for everyone, but it's definitely for me.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Aug 24 2022

Okay album. Songs are repetitive throughout each song and most of the songs sound similar to each other so it gets kind of boring. I'm sure some people like it, but not really for me.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Aug 25 2022

Okay background noise. Maybe I need to listen to more to gain a better appreciation but it all blends for me. I WANT to like it but ehhh.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 29 2022

Solid album. It doesn't hit Graceland levels but Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard is an absolute smash.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Aug 30 2022

Great album. Dusty has a great voice, the songs are engaging and fun.

Night Life by Ray Price
Aug 31 2022

An album that I can say is probably a very good album that just isn't for me. Really good voice, decent songs but just doesn't do a lot for me.

Phrenology by The Roots
Sep 01 2022

Excellent album. Haven't heard much of The Roots before but really enjoyed it.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Sep 02 2022

So so album. Okay background music, doesn't do much otherwise.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Sep 05 2022

Thought I would like it more than I did. Overall meh.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Sep 06 2022

Okay album. Solid, just mostly not for me.

Sep 07 2022

Okay album. Good individual songs but as a whole gets very similar. Would be great to have seen live.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Sep 08 2022

Okay album. More up-tempo than most in this genre but still just not for me.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Sep 09 2022

Solid album. Many very good songs. Didn't realize that the 2nd album linked on Spotify wasn't originally apart of the Ocean Blue release and felt the album didn't deserve to be a double but it was still enjoyable.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Really awesome album. Solid all the way through. The last song is probably the weakest lyrically but overall great.

Melodrama by Lorde
Sep 14 2022

Solid album overall. Can see why she became a star. No song on it's own stands out to me but I did enjoy it all.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Sep 15 2022

Ehhhh....

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Sep 16 2022

Okay. Nothing really stood out. Might have to give a second listen

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 20 2022

I'm just not a radiohead fan. Oh well. No hate given.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Sep 21 2022

Awesome album. Last song on the album is incredible.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Sep 22 2022

You know the hits, other than that its okay. Lyrics are pretty bad at times but instruments are decent at least.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Sep 26 2022

Not a bad album. Confessions was the most interesting to me. The style is interesting in one or two song bursts but gets a little stale over a full album.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 27 2022

Very good album. Some great tracks but every one was at least good.

Sep 28 2022

After being surprised by how much I liked "Be", I was hoping to enjoy this one more than I did. Not bad but nothing stood out.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Sep 29 2022

I LOVE RATM and I love this album. Morello's lyrics are excellent even if they can be repetitive (to invoke protest chants but still). The guitar playing and energy though bring everything up to great.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Sep 30 2022

Love talking heads songs but their albums are mostly okay. Solid album. But nothing spectacular.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Oct 03 2022

I can see why he was big for his time. But it doesn't do much for me overall. Thankfully its a short album.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Oct 04 2022

Solid grunge album. Strong voice. Need to give a relisten later

One World by John Martyn
Oct 06 2022

Gave up after a few songs. It's not that it's awful. It's just the worst of background music. It's like a bad music soundtrack.

Faust IV by Faust
Oct 07 2022

I'm on a rough streak of albums. I'm not sure how this is a good album. Does being German make you a different genre?

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Oct 12 2022

Great album. Really enjoyed it.

Cut by The Slits
Oct 13 2022

Good if you like noise or terrible audio levels and bad vocals. Why is this in here?

Oct 14 2022

Solid album. Can see why it was popular. Don't love it personally

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Oct 18 2022

As a fuzzy person, I don't need this much extra fuzz in my life. It would be nice to at least understand some of the lyrics because the melody was okay at times. But no just more fuzz.

High Violet by The National
Oct 25 2022

Enjoyable. Would listen again

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Oct 26 2022

Mehhh. Better than the last Byrds album I had to listen to but not much. Instrumentals are good but the vocals are so boring. I feel like most songs sound the same.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Oct 31 2022

Excellent album

Protection by Massive Attack
Nov 01 2022

Hit or miss for me. First song started off real strong. Karmacoma seemed weird and boring. Three was okay. Spyglass was enjoyable.

Metallica by Metallica
Nov 02 2022

Great album as a whole. Holier than Thou is the weakest by far as it sounds like Weird Al doing a Metallica cover

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Nov 04 2022

Okay album. Not really my style though

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Nov 09 2022

Not a bad album overall. Not my favorite but solid. Feels very 90s.

No Other by Gene Clark
Nov 14 2022

Surprisingly good album overall. Lots of different styles and good songs.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Nov 15 2022

I like it but don't love it. Solid but missing something.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Nov 16 2022

Decent. Half the album is sadly missing from spotify but it was okay.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Nov 17 2022

Not bad. The voice feels genuine rather than a straight Bob Dylan rip-off but it is very close. Magic Hollow is definitely the star of the album

American Pie by Don McLean
Nov 21 2022

Solid album. American Pie is obviously the standout song but many others were pleasant if not wholly memorable.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Nov 23 2022

More enjoyable than I expected

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Dec 05 2022

Solid but not sure what it really brings to the table. Willie has a great voice but I'd like to get more from him.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 07 2022

Very good album with some great songs.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 09 2022

Okay album. Its CCR so you get CCR

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 12 2022

Some great playing but overall some interesting choices. Sex Machine felt like the high point.

Dec 15 2022

Took me by surprise as a solid album. Is it deserving of being on this list? I'm doubtful but I'm glad to have listened to it and so I'm happy with it.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Dec 22 2022

Decent album. Everybody wants to rule the world is one of my favorite songs. Most of the rest of the album doesn't hit as strong though
