Popular Reviews

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald

This was a lovely album to listen to on a Monday morning... But then I ran out of morning.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge

This album is funky, it swings. It makes me want to sing and dance. The vocals are incredible and the instruments are clear and good. This is music.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem

One or two Eminem songs are nice, but I get real tired of his flow and voice and skits at the end of the album

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan

This album starts with exactly that annoying voice that makes me think of Bob Dylan as a bit. Having said that, due to circumstances I was extremely in the mood for sad and annoying which made me see a bit of value in Uncle Bob and that earns this album a passing grade.

Debut by Björk

Interesting and boring at the same time. Mostly boring

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 25 2022

Eerste 5 nummers: Alsof iemand een muziekwinkel van de trap gooit Moonlight on Vermont best leuk Klinkt een beetje als pre-alpha-Zappa geen fan, maar ook niet heel erg om het een keer gehoord te hebben

Melodrama by Lorde
Aug 26 2022

Luistert lekker weg, beetje poppy wel. Ken Liability van een serie (Euphoria), wel mooi liedje. Verder niet echt iets wat is blijven hangen, hou wel van Lorde's stem

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Aug 29 2022

First listen: every song feels nice, no boring parts. gonna listen again with a bit more attention. second listen: A bit simple, maybe a tad boring after all. Still a pleasent listen.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Aug 30 2022

Loved this one. Very upbeat, interesting all the way through. Liked the background vocals.

The Cars by The Cars
Aug 31 2022

Some songs sounded like easy guitar hero songs. Bit of a strange over-use of stereo. Not bad, but also not something I will play again.

The Yes Album by Yes
Sep 01 2022

Listened while running. Got lost in some instrumental parts (in a good way). Some other parts sounded like they were supposed to be musical songs.

Sep 02 2022

Do not like lana's singing style, like every word takes a tremendous effort to pronounce. The whole album is a blur of similar sounding songs. Hard to finish this album.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Sep 05 2022

Close to perfect

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 06 2022

Sounds a bit like a soundtrack for a movie or a game. Not too bad, but also not very remarkable.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Sep 07 2022

This album generated a lot of hype in me. Just flows really nice

Sep 09 2022

Bunch of annoying songs. Dead finks don't think is somewhat nice, but then it ends in a bunch of noise

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 12 2022

Not a bad listen, also not very memorable

Debut by Björk
Sep 13 2022

Interesting and boring at the same time. Mostly boring

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Sep 14 2022

This was not bad, but it mist some spice to be actually good. Some songs grew on me during 2nd listen

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 16 2022

During the 4th song I wondered if the first song ended already. Sounds a bit like comforting noise

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 19 2022

Tad slow but interesting album that gets better near the end

British Steel by Judas Priest
Sep 20 2022

Some heavy metal. Not great, not terrible.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 21 2022

One or two Eminem songs are nice, but I get real tired of his flow and voice and skits at the end of the album

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Sep 22 2022

Loved it, the voice, the music, the variety.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Sep 23 2022

Album starts very strong, Survivor is a banger. The ending is a bit boring

Raw Power by The Stooges
Sep 27 2022

The songs are good, but the recording/mix is very muddy. Heard 1 version of the David Bowie mix which I preferred a lot more

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Sep 28 2022

I like One Metallica song, but afterhalf an album I get real tired of it. Feels so forced.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Sep 29 2022

This was a nice Foo fighters album. Nothing exceptional, but also nothing bad.

Bossanova by Pixies
Sep 30 2022

Some nice songs, but also some terrible songs

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Oct 04 2022

This album is funky, it swings. It makes me want to sing and dance. The vocals are incredible and the instruments are clear and good. This is music.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Oct 05 2022

OK, but not remarkable

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 06 2022

It's a vibe, but has some out of place songs like the last one. The Seed 2.0 is insanely good tho.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Oct 07 2022

I don't like the way Dylan sings, it is tiring. I also don't really love the music, like boring blues. Maybe I'll love another Dylan album

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Oct 10 2022

Some nice tunes. But I didn't really notice we already listened to the album 5 times. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Oct 11 2022

Nice album, not super remarkable but feels good all the way through

Nevermind by Nirvana
Oct 12 2022

Has some classics which are fun to here

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Oct 14 2022

Listened to the deluxe edition which was very good

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 17 2022

Is ok, but no real highlights

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Oct 18 2022

Amazing tunes

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Oct 25 2022

Love the white stripes sound, could listen to it all day

New Wave by The Auteurs
Oct 26 2022

Not bad, but not remarkable

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Oct 31 2022

Did not listen to this queens of the stone age album before, it was a bit more raw, but I liked it.

Different Class by Pulp
Nov 01 2022

Some interesting but also quite some boring parts

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Nov 02 2022

I love this: it relaxes me, doesn't bore and the James bond theme cover fills me with nostalgia.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Nov 03 2022

This was close to being 4 stars, loved some of the instruments but had some boring parts.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 04 2022

Boring, annoying country voice. Really struggled to get through this one. Luckily it was fairly short.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 07 2022

I like this album a lot. Some songs are a bit boring, but they get saved by some interesting guitar.

Nov 08 2022

Some parts were to weird/crazy, some parts were excellent, most parts were OK. Was considering 2,3 or 4 stars during the listen, but 3 seems the most appropriate.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Nov 09 2022

I expected this album to go into 3 star rock hell, but it was a bit more interesting than that!

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Nov 10 2022

Am a bit conflicted about this one. It is unique and awesome, but also a bit gimmicky and I get tired of it at the End of the whole album.

Timeless by Goldie
Nov 11 2022

This felt like a trip, a good one

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Nov 14 2022

My only complaint is that is stops after only half an hour

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Nov 16 2022

Just a good, upbeat rock album.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 21 2022

I could enjoy this way more than the last mbv album we had. Not sure if it is better or if I was in a better mood for it

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 22 2022

Easy to listen

Homework by Daft Punk
Nov 23 2022

This is not my favourite daft punk album, but it has some bangers

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Nov 24 2022

This was okay, but some songs were kinda annoying after a few listens

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Nov 25 2022

I loved some of the instrumental parts but a lot of parts were a bit... cheesy?

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Nov 28 2022

I really love some songs on this album, but there are also some songs where I can't really decide if I like them or if they are annoying.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Nov 29 2022

This sits somwhere between annoying unique and fun unique and I am not quite sure on which side.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Nov 30 2022

First half of the album is amazing, second half has some boring songs. Love it overall.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Dec 01 2022

There are a few moments where it is a bit too much but overall this is very good

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Dec 02 2022

Don't remember a lot from yesterday, that's a bad sign

Dec 05 2022

Did not really feel this album, not very exciting and I don't really feel the gospelly vocals.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Dec 07 2022

Very enjoyable from start to finish

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 08 2022

Strong album in its own way, but wouldn't listen to it a lot.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 13 2022

To many mediocre and annoying songs to enjoy

Transformer by Lou Reed
Dec 14 2022

First half is amazing, second half could be a bit better

Dec 15 2022

I like the unique style, but the audience is distracting and after half an album it's been enough

The Visitors by ABBA
Dec 16 2022

I don't get ABBA's appeal and I'd be glad if I never heard it again, it bores me out of my mind. I'll give this album half a star for not being the 5 hits that you always hear and a second half because I am probably underappreciating something here.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Dec 19 2022

I like the chill vibes but it might be a bit too chill and lacks some excitement.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Dec 20 2022

Unimpressive but not bad.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 21 2022

This is not my favourite van halen album, although eruption holds a special place in my heart. The guitars sound so Van Halen it sometimes starts to sound a bit like a parody. I love it

Cross by Justice
Dec 22 2022

Energetic, fun, hypes me up. Not a song I want to skip

Dec 23 2022

Less bad than the last Bob Dylan album (blonde on blonde) but still so boring. Maybe if we just keep the harmonica parts it would be enjoyable.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Dec 27 2022

It is a good album, but a bit lengthy at times. I find myself longing for specific songs that I like particularly.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 28 2022

A few highlights but mostly boring

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 29 2022

Mostly very excellent, love the guitar sound. Just some songs that are a bit too messy

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Dec 30 2022

Pretty nice, upbeat and fun.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 02 2023

I could listen to this once every day and still get perfectly relaxed. Excellent duo

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 03 2023

Good old school vibe. Nice flow and quite relaxing

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jan 04 2023

I can imagine a mood where I am into listening one of these songs. As an album it's uninspiring at best.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Jan 05 2023

This makes me feel nostalgic to a place I've never been.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jan 06 2023

It started out very generic but I somehow got in the flow halfway to the album and enjoyed it quite a bit.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jan 09 2023

this added exactly nothing to my life

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 10 2023

Bit generic at times but not too bad

Arise by Sepultura
Jan 11 2023

This was hard to get through with rare moments of okayness

Jan 13 2023

This album was quite a drag, with some rare moments of ok-ness

Being There by Wilco
Jan 16 2023

Most songs aren't that bad but the album feels incoherent and drags on a bit too long

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jan 17 2023

This album starts very chill, gets a bit annoying halfway and ends chill again.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jan 18 2023

Love this, this is what I think about when I think about 90s hiphop

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jan 19 2023

Really liked the vibe of this album

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jan 20 2023
Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jan 25 2023

This has some very good but also a lot of very annoying parts

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 27 2023

Very happy music

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jan 30 2023

This album is not as boring as the previous 2 albums (or I am getting used to it?). What I am not getting used to is his voice/singing style. I can't get past the fact that it sounds like somebody is making a parody of Bob Dylan, but it is actually just him.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Jan 31 2023

Only thing I can think during this album is that I wish I were there

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 01 2023

Cheesy and kind of annoying

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Feb 02 2023

Loved the upbeat tracks at the start and the theatrical ending, but it lost me at some filler in between

Stankonia by OutKast
Feb 03 2023

Get really hyped by some of the hits and some songs that just flow really well. Album has too much filler and interludes to be enjoyable as music for me.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Feb 06 2023

I like an Irish folk song, I even like 5. I don't like 18.

Forever Changes by Love
Feb 07 2023

First few songs were very interesting, but they decided that the rest of the album had to be boring to compensate.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Feb 08 2023

Just very good jazz

Feb 09 2023

Chill album, not very memorable. I would recommend to fall in love with the drummer

1989 by Taylor Swift
Feb 10 2023

This album surprised me by giving me way more energy and enjoyment than I thought

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Feb 13 2023

Bit too long, bit too unremarkable but not too bad.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 14 2023

Some weird concepts going on, which I like. Not good enough to make a lasting imoression

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 17 2023

This album surprised me in enjoyment

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 20 2023

Kendrick made me love hiphop, could listen to this any day.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 21 2023

Simply amazing from start to finish. So many perfect songs

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 22 2023

For the 34 minutes this lasted it was still fun

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Feb 23 2023

Makes me smile almost the whole album long. Extra fun if you imagine shooting ghouls while this is playing

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 27 2023

Much better than I expected. Sometimes a bit overly dramatic

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Feb 28 2023

Didn't catch me as much as I thought it would

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Mar 01 2023

This was quite weird, not necessarily in a good way.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Mar 02 2023

Solid album, but the last song really makes it for me. It's a journey on its own

The Score by Fugees
Mar 03 2023

Super nice vibes, chill but never boring

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Mar 06 2023

Didn't feel this album and would have given this a "2 star boring" review if it wasn't for murder mystery which I couldn't stop playing.

Moon Safari by Air
Mar 07 2023

Moon Safari is one of my favourite albums of all times, I can literally enjoy this album at all times.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 08 2023

This was not really fun, although it blended away in the background after a while

The first half is a solid 1, way too much noise. The second half of this album was just listenable enough to appreciate the musical ability and earn an extra star but is was very close.

Rio by Duran Duran
Mar 13 2023

Lovely album, super enjoyable from start to finish.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 14 2023

This oscillated between exciting and boring, but mostly positive

Parklife by Blur
Mar 16 2023

Very mediocre, won't listen to this again

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Mar 20 2023

Don't listen to reggae as much I'd like to, really enjoyed this one.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Mar 21 2023

Some really nice parts, but nothing that really sticks

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 22 2023

Apart from some extra boring songs like hallelujah this had some nice sounds

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Mar 23 2023

Mostly very mediocre but never annoying to listen to.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Mar 28 2023

Has some classics and some really nice parts, I do get a bit tired of the voice after a few songs but overall still ok

GI by Germs
Mar 30 2023

Full of energy and short enough to not get tiresome

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Mar 31 2023

I can listen to fever 10 times in a row and the rest is also not bad

Goo by Sonic Youth
Apr 04 2023

Love the long winded dreamy noisey sounds, but don't really like the more messy sounds.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Apr 05 2023

Some lovely beatles like sound, but the recording is very muddy which takes away from the enjoyment

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Apr 07 2023

This album carries an amazing atmosphere, love it.

Apr 11 2023

A lot of it flows pretty nicely, but some parts made me feel nervous for some reason. The outro was a very long list I don't have to hear again

With The Beatles by Beatles
Apr 12 2023

Could listen to any beatles album any time of any day, this is not the best one: 4.5

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 13 2023

On a free festival with nice weather and a few bears I could listen to this but only if there isn't somewhere more fun to be.

OK by Talvin Singh
Apr 14 2023

The fast paced songs bring me a kind of discomfort that really scratches an itch. The slower songs make me want the faster songs. Unique experience

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Apr 17 2023

Not quite standing out to me but I would never complain if this album is playing

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Apr 18 2023

Lovely voice, at times a bit unexciting

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Apr 24 2023

Can really lose myself in live solos, bit annoyed by applause and talking band. Overal very good

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Apr 26 2023

It is punk, and I don't think I'll get bored of punk

Faith by George Michael
May 01 2023

Loved the faster paced songs, bit bored at times but solid album.

May 02 2023

This is a very solid album, although there are some annoying songs on here (seaside rendezvous, prophet's song). Death On Two Legs might me my new favourite Queen song.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
May 03 2023

4.5, Michael Kiwanuka makes me feel all sort of warm feelings. It misses just a small bit of something that love & hate has

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 05 2023

Okay but never exciting

School's Out by Alice Cooper
May 08 2023

I expected more metally music, but this was quite nice

Sister by Sonic Youth
May 10 2023

Blanket of comfortable noise, yes.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 11 2023

Very clean with some very nice songs on it. A lot of the album disappears into the background a bit though,

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
May 15 2023

Lovely as background music

Celebrity Skin by Hole
May 18 2023

Decent album, nothing too special.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 19 2023

It's upbeat, nice music but the voice of Costello gets a bit tiring

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 22 2023

2 absolutely amazing songs and other good songs.

Boston by Boston
May 23 2023

Good rock and some memorable hits.

Ramones by Ramones
May 24 2023

OK with some nostalgia attached

Infected by The The
May 26 2023

Can listen to songs like Heartland for a long time. Bit weird at time but giving it the benefit of the doubt

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 29 2023

Pleasant but a tad boring

Queen II by Queen
May 30 2023

It is too musically? Extra? Too much I am not into it

Blur by Blur
May 31 2023

Listened to this album 3 times now and forgot about it every time. Therefore 3 stars.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jun 01 2023

Lovely voice, smooth and rough at the same time

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 02 2023

I really love no sleep till Brooklyn and fight for your right, but would have been fine listening to just those 2 songs. So much yellinf

xx by The xx
Jun 06 2023

Lovely album with many chill songs

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jun 08 2023

Bit too boring with some exceptions

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 09 2023

Seems like it wants to be something that it just can't reach

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jun 12 2023

Makes me feel good

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jun 13 2023

Black Sabbath keeps surprising me with listenable music

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jun 15 2023

Amazing blues

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 19 2023

Good combination

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jun 23 2023

A lot of songs on this album sounds like they started out with a good idea, but could only finish it in the most boring way possible.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Jun 26 2023

Album doesn't really know what it want to be so it just pretends

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 27 2023

Sounds good but way too tame

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jun 28 2023

This album is almost it

Jun 29 2023

This was quite nice once I got into it but I can't really remember anything that stands out, a big haze of metal

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 03 2023

This was certainly one of the albums

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jul 04 2023

An album like this just makes me want to be there which is exactly the point.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jul 06 2023

For some reason I always thought Paul's solo albums would be boring and I was so wrong. Loved it

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jul 12 2023

Not too special, was over before I knew. Nice sample though

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 13 2023

Very good, keep getting surprised by live albums

Smash by The Offspring
Jul 20 2023

Certainly one of the albums

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jul 21 2023

This album has some absolutely amazing songs. Unfortunately there were also some parts of the album where I would rather have listend to those same amazing songs 5 times in a row.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jul 24 2023

Some absolutely beautiful songs

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 25 2023

This album has am amazing vibe, dark and chill. Nothing really stands out but it brings something.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Jul 26 2023

For some reason the last 4 songs suddenly became fun

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Jul 28 2023

Good flows, has some vibe but not sure if I will put it on again

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jul 31 2023

Feels like I've listened to a movie. Interesting idea, but bit boring in execution

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 01 2023

Bittersweet symphony is amazing, but the album dies down a bit as it drags on.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Aug 02 2023

Not bad, but also not very inspiring

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 03 2023

This was a load of boring shit, but it has a vibe

C'est Chic by CHIC
Aug 07 2023

Funky goodness that I could listen to a lot, but in some parts the energy goes down a bit too much.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 09 2023

Had this on repeat for longer than most albums this challenge, but can't pick out anything that I exceptionally like. Just very good

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 10 2023

This album just brings me so much joy, love it any time of the day.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Aug 11 2023

There are some rough parts but the soundscapes some songs end up in are absolutely lovely

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 14 2023

I hear good musicians playing good music. It also has a certain cleanliness to it that makes it a bit too clinical. Not sure why this bothers me because it doesn't in some other artists music, still good.

Hotel California by Eagles
Aug 15 2023

Love the title song, but the rest is quite unremarkable.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 16 2023

This is very close to a 5 for me, but there are a few dull moments in the second half of the album

Aug 17 2023

The album was better than I expected. Politik and God Put a Smile upon Your Face are really nice, but it also contains songs that are so boring they make me want to skip ahead 10 seconds in. All in all ok

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 18 2023

3.5. Has some really nice songs and vibes, but also a simple at times

#1 Record by Big Star
Aug 23 2023

What's up wisconsin?? Solid album, almost good enough for 4 stars

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Aug 25 2023

Few highs with a lot of boring lows

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 29 2023

Boring, annoying, cliche (maybe not when it was made? idc don't have to hear this again)

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Aug 30 2023

beautiful, combination of dreamy guitar and the beautiful voices do it for me

Sep 01 2023

This moody vibe hit me at the right time

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 04 2023
A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Sep 06 2023

The first sound of this album is one of my favourite sounds of all time. It instantly makes my day. I can have this on repeat forever, the songs just make me so happy.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Sep 07 2023

Some songs have this amazing ambiance, but it still is a bit too much for a whole album

Sep 12 2023

These old school live club recordings just make me want to be there every time. It feels alive.

Sep 15 2023

A bit simple but it also has a oldschool vibe that flows quite well

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 18 2023

Not really bad but also quite forgettable

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Sep 19 2023

As always with Metallica there are some parts that are beautiful but the album as a whole is just tiresome. Am gonna give this one the benefit of the doubt because I am currently listening to a beautiful part.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 20 2023

Lovely

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Sep 21 2023

Sep 26 2023

Took me a while to get through this one

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 27 2023

Amazing voice and ambiance

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Sep 28 2023

Some songs like the first one have a very nice vibe. Others are way way too random

Sep 29 2023

Great ambiance, can imagine this to be higher rated if you know the movie

Teen Dream by Beach House
Oct 02 2023

Bit boring but pleasant to listen to. Makes you feel welcome

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 03 2023

This album got me into hiphop. It's filled with these dark, powerful and energetic songs. Inspired by so many good things from other genres. Probably in my top 5 albums of all time

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Oct 04 2023

Good album

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 05 2023

Swinging, upbeat. Love to hear it more often

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Oct 10 2023

I will always like the Gorillaz, but this album does not contain my favourite songs

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Oct 11 2023

I started out being bored by this album but gradually I got into the mood and it became quite beautiful.

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 12 2023

Very rare good parts don't save it from the boring mess

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Oct 13 2023

Some very enjoyable parts with some lows in between

Oct 16 2023

This album has a bunch of songs that can cheer me up me at any time, love the vibe that Fatboy slim puts down.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 17 2023

Loved the start and the end, but the middle dragged a bit

Metallica by Metallica
Oct 18 2023

This album has most of the songs by Metallica that I like, it is just 20 minutes too long

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Oct 19 2023

This was weird in the worst way possible. Was very glad to hear the 2nd CD was not canon

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Oct 20 2023

Nice tunes to float away on

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 24 2023

Upbeat, fun all the way through

Oct 25 2023

Feels like a complete album, maybe a bit dramatic too dramatic at times but overall very good

S&M by Metallica
Oct 31 2023

Epic, kind of long. Would probably have been more fun to be there than to listen to it from home.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nov 01 2023

Unique in this list, not sure if that deserves stars but it will get 2 from me

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Nov 02 2023

Okay, poppy, okay

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 07 2023

Beautiful rock album which some amazing highlights

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 09 2023

Weirdly smooth gooey goodness with dreamy vocals that can make my day any day.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Nov 10 2023

Nicely smooth but gets a bit monotonous after a while

21 by Adele
Nov 14 2023

The stronger sounding songs, mostly the hits, are a 4 for me. But the boring songs bring this down to a 3.

Suede by Suede
Nov 17 2023

Tad too dramatic for my taste

Who's Next by The Who
Nov 20 2023

Starts and ends great. Middle is good enough

Amazing album during a train ride in the dark

What I expected. Just ok

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 24 2023

Mostly good with some very very good songs (first song).

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 27 2023

Always love the white stripes. This album specifically I can listen on repeat for a week.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Nov 28 2023

This is great. Every song is good and it just takes you to that special place where you are the music

Rocks by Aerosmith
Dec 01 2023
Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Dec 08 2023

Vibe of the album seems to match the name. Could dream away in this album whenever I want

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Dec 11 2023

Very good album, most songs are interesting.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Dec 13 2023
London Calling by The Clash
Dec 14 2023

The titlesong is an absolute banger. The rest of the album is a bit worse, but still very nice to listen to.

Play by Moby
Dec 15 2023

Amazing vibe with a few very good highlights

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Dec 18 2023

At least a bonus star for "Girls just wanna have fun"

Dec 19 2023

Loved the first half of this album a lot, loved the second half a bit less but it's in no way bad.

Document by R.E.M.
Dec 20 2023

Bit too boring apart from 2 songs

Dec 29 2023

Pleasant to listen to, but also easy to forget

Jan 01 2024
Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 03 2024

Love the mood this album gives rise to

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 05 2024

Meh

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 10 2024

This album starts with exactly that annoying voice that makes me think of Bob Dylan as a bit. Having said that, due to circumstances I was extremely in the mood for sad and annoying which made me see a bit of value in Uncle Bob and that earns this album a passing grade.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 15 2024

Lovely nostalgic sad angry

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jan 17 2024

Mostly OK with a few highlights

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 22 2024

Not my favourite jazz album in this challenge, a bit ?basic?

Guero by Beck
Jan 23 2024

Music was not bad, but it felt a bit incoherent

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 25 2024
Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jan 30 2024

It's not bad and I do understand that people like it, but this is not for me.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jan 31 2024

Almost good, but a bit to "funny"

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Feb 01 2024

If I ever want to listen to 40 minutes of sitar again I will listen to these 40 minutes of sitar

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 05 2024

Great blues album

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Feb 06 2024

This was a lovely album to listen to on a Monday morning... But then I ran out of morning.

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 09 2024

Liked the first half a lot, did not really care for the second half.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Feb 12 2024

Some really enjoyable parts and then the high pitched singing

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Feb 14 2024

Okay, but it gets a bit to sweet

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 19 2024

It took me a few songs but it got me into this lovely dreamlike state in the end

Feb 20 2024

This album feels like a smoothly produced ride from the start to the end. Enjoyed it a lot, but missed a few highs that I think Graduation has for example.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 21 2024

Again a bit in dubio about a reggea album. There are certainly days where this feels like a 4, but on other days it gets way too repetitive musically.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Feb 22 2024

A lot better than the country album, with a few highlights. But still not that special

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Feb 23 2024

There is not enough substance, boring.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Feb 27 2024

Nice vibe, smooth and make me want to move

The Slider by T. Rex
Feb 29 2024

Not bad, not memorable

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Mar 04 2024

I feel like I should find this boring given previous reviews, but Cohen's voice has something magical that makes it wonderful.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Mar 08 2024

Some very fun songs and some mid songs. Almost a 4.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Mar 14 2024

There are some lovely dreamy sequences, unfortunately they get interrupted by a boring mess.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Mar 15 2024

A strong 3 that Frontier Psychiatrist lifts up to a 4.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Mar 18 2024

Album full of well produced hype

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 19 2024

Boring. Was about 30 minutes too long

Odessa by Bee Gees
Mar 20 2024

Weirdly dramatic in a boring way

Soul Mining by The The
Mar 22 2024

Feels quite original, pretty nice

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 25 2024

Most songs on this album don't do it for me, but then there's superstition which adds at least a star to the rating

Close To You by Carpenters
Mar 27 2024

Was not very interesting until the last song

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Mar 28 2024

Very unique, chill in the background, almost 4 stars

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Apr 09 2024

Did really enjoy this, feels quite unique and pleasent to listen to all the way through

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Apr 10 2024

Listened to this 3 times but nothing really stuck

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Apr 12 2024

It is almost too smooth to be true

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 15 2024

I love sly

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Apr 16 2024

Beautiful but stale

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 17 2024

This is fine, but I expected a bit more hype

Roots by Sepultura
Apr 18 2024

Very tempted to give this 1 extra star because it just has some weird stuff in it and I respect that. But the whole experience was a bit too unlistenable

Sulk by The Associates
Apr 19 2024

This is one of the worst albums I have heard, an album hasn't made me angry like this to finish in a long time. Boring and very very annoying

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Apr 22 2024

Bit too long for my taste, could have stripped some of the less memorable songs and would have been a 4

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Apr 23 2024

The documentary was better

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Apr 24 2024

Nice psychedelic rock, but not too special

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 25 2024

Good but uneventful

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Apr 26 2024

This is fine

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 29 2024

I like some songs on here but I am not sure if that's just a happy memory from whatever pop culture they appeared in. Mostly it is quite mid.

Spiderland by Slint
Apr 30 2024

I love what this tries to do, it just feels a bit unfinished. 4/5 if they retry this album

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 01 2024

Nitbthat bad but always sounds a bit gimmicky

Manassas by Stephen Stills
May 03 2024

long winded and by times boring

May 07 2024

1 star for the concept and 1 star for not sticking with the original plan of 100 love songs

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 08 2024
Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
May 09 2024

Weirdly varied but mostly very noisy

Closer by Joy Division
May 10 2024

Quite boring with a weird mix

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
May 20 2024
The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
May 21 2024

Actually better than i thought it would be, very nice dark tones.

May 23 2024

My only complaint is that it's so short. The whole album is a stream of funky goodness that i love the float in

Horses by Patti Smith
May 24 2024
Risque by CHIC
May 28 2024

I like all the parts of the songs, they just get a bit too repetitive sometimes.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
May 30 2024

I guess I would be the regular at the bar.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 31 2024

Really liked the vibe of the opening track, but the rest was unremarkable

Slayed? by Slade
Jun 07 2024

Weirdly varied but can't stand all the talking st the end

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jun 12 2024

A reluctant second star for Let Me Entertain You

Arrival by ABBA
Jun 13 2024

Abba keeps annoying me on a special level only surpassed by how annoyed I get about this group being popular.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Jun 17 2024

Took me multiple days to get through this one

Kenya by Machito
Jun 20 2024

I can have this on repeat for a while an not get tired of it

Jun 21 2024

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 25 2024

Very mid

Eagles by Eagles
Jun 26 2024

Mostly decent with a few highs

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jul 05 2024

I am seduced

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 09 2024

Watching the videoclip of Californication on DVD on a small tv with my friends in one of our childhood bedrooms is one of my most vivid memories of my youth. I love everything about this album and could listen to it literally any time. It gives me so much energy, all the musicians are so freaking good. Yes.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jul 10 2024

Started out good but became a bit forgettable

90 by 808 State
Jul 11 2024

Could have it on repeat in the background for quite a while

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Jul 18 2024

We have beatles at home

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 19 2024

I really like the concept and I really want to like the music. I wish I was smarter in bass

Quite fun, but just too many boring parts to be great.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 24 2024

Some very very nice songs and some boring bland stuff

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 29 2024

The middle part of this album is absolutely perfect, but the last few songs keep me from giving this a 5

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jul 30 2024

It is a tad boring, but the vibe is there

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Jul 31 2024

Admittedly this album has a high cringe factor. But for some reason I could also really enjoy it for what it is. Was not bored for the whole 90 minutes.

Ctrl by SZA
Aug 06 2024
La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Aug 07 2024

Just a tad to repetitive to be amazing, but can float away in this.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Aug 09 2024

Has some addicitive tunes, but did not impress me enough to get a higher score.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Aug 21 2024

Close to giving this 4 stars if it had some more hype within

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Aug 23 2024

Is it music? I don't know? Do I like it? I don't know? Where am I anyway?

Future Days by Can
Aug 29 2024

I was on a 4 for the most part through this album. But the last song dragged on way too long

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Sep 02 2024

What can I say, I like trip hop

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Sep 03 2024

Way more fun than I expected especially the second part

D by White Denim
Sep 13 2024

3.5

Kenza by Khaled

Is This It by The Strokes
Oct 01 2024

Sounds good, but a bit too much of the same

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 04 2024

Not bad but doesn't do a lot for me

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Oct 09 2024

A bit less powerful than the other Cohen albums we had on here

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Oct 23 2024

A bit safe compared to his previous entry, which makes it a lot more listenable
