Popular Reviews

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club

is this the kind of album that hipsters listen to when they congregate?

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings

what a terrible album. And this is coming from a huge beatles fan

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

I'm surprised by how much I did not like this album. Felt so generic and forgettable. Maybe it's because I am listening to it almost half a century it came out that it feels so derivative now, but I think a 2/5 is all I am willing to give

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Aug 24 2022

Solid album

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 25 2022

Great album. I hadn't listened to a lot of songs by Radiohead other than the popular ones so was surprised

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Aug 26 2022

Pretty bad actually

Aug 30 2022

Surprisingly good. I liked it enough to listen to it twice over!

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Sep 08 2022

Quick album, short songs, decent music, not something I would have sought out by myself

Sincere by Mj Cole
Sep 09 2022

way tooo long as an album with repeated songs. sounded like something from the late 90s and I was almost right

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Sep 14 2022

Ray Charles is a legend, and this album is legendary. Definitely something I wouldn't seek out on my own, but I'm glad I was recommended this album to listen to

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 15 2022

damn good album

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 20 2022

A very chill album, was glad I was recommended this as I hadn't heard anything other than rumors and their other hit songs at this point

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Sep 21 2022

That was a damn good album. I had never heard of Nick Drake before and I was pleasantly surprised

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Sep 29 2022

Hadn't really listened to anything but a few songs from this album before. Pleasantly surprised at how good it was

wow I didn't expect to ever like a jazz album as much as I did this one. highly recommend

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 24 2022

Never heard any of their songs other than Killing in the Name before. Album was pretty good, esp as a first album

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 04 2022

One of my favorite albums of all time, and for good reason.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 13 2022

Surprisingly good, I have to say. Might check out more of this stuff when I get the chance

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 14 2022
Dec 16 2022

I knew all about the Dead Kennedys but for some reason had never got around to listening to their songs before. I knew about them being their work as one of the pioneers of the punk scene, and it shows in their songs. There is definitely a whiplash I felt midway through when I realized this album came out in 1980 due to how their music sounds like. I gave it a 4 star but I can see myself coming back and giving it a better rating once I've become more familiar with the songs

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jan 25 2023

Surprisingly good. I really liked it and will probably have to check out their other stuff sometime soon

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 27 2023

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 08 2023

Every other song I heard was like "Oh this is where this song is from? Damn!"

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Feb 10 2023

The sort of album that I can listen to when I'm chilling. I listened to it while working and it was great for helping with concentrating as well!

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Feb 15 2023

what a terrible album. And this is coming from a huge beatles fan

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Feb 22 2023

I need to be in a completely different mindset to enjoy this album. Some would even call it a 'high'-er mindset YMMV

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic

Elephant by The White Stripes

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Sep 14 2023
