Pretty easy to listen to. I’d probably put it on again as chill background music

1-Star Albums (7)

All Ratings (266)

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Sep 08 2022
Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Sep 20 2022
Oct 06 2022

Pretty easy to listen to. I’d probably put it on again as chill background music

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Oct 10 2022

Not bad. I could see myself occasionally listening to some of this again if I remember

Tical by Method Man
Oct 12 2022

Generally not a fan of old school hip hop but I thought some songs were fine here.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Oct 13 2022

Decent folky music. It was fine. Nothing really to write home about. I could and did listen to it as background music.

Black Metal by Venom
Oct 14 2022

It was... okay I guess. Okay metal with meh lyrics. Probably wouldn't listen again. Giving it a 2 felt cruel because I can see how this probably impacted other music I like. I wouldn't seek it out again. A soft 3

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Oct 17 2022

Some songs were okay. Generally not a fan. Just kind of noise to me.

S&M by Metallica
Oct 20 2022

Pretty strong 4. I like the concept. I do kind of prefer some of the originals though, but still cool.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Oct 21 2022

A pretty solid 3

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 24 2022

Just an average album to me.

The Man Who by Travis
Oct 25 2022

I thought this wasn't bad. I liked a good amount of songs. I would probably listen to a number of them again.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Oct 28 2022

Just okay. A lot of songs sounded similar.

Oct 31 2022

This was fine. A few good songs, okay for background music while doing stuff. Maybe like a 3.5 or so

Dry by PJ Harvey
Nov 03 2022

I liked the vibes of some of the songs. I would probably listen again

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Nov 04 2022

Some good songs on here. Not gonna give this one a 3. Gets a little funky at times though, but still good

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Nov 08 2022

I liked a lot of the songs but don't really know how I feel about them altogether as an album.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Nov 09 2022

Decent album for chill background music.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Nov 10 2022

I dunno. I like some Beatles songs, these all sounded the same to me

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Nov 11 2022

Pretty easy to listen to. I could see myself relaxing and having this on

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Nov 14 2022

I liked the start, but not the end as much.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Nov 15 2022

I think I'm maybe being generous here today... I liked some of the songs and would probably put it on again at some point. A soft 4

Nov 18 2022

Reminded me of Bowie a little at the start in a weird way. The ending songs had a lot going on. Overall it was fine.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 21 2022

ALRIGHT. BK made some good points. Many bangers in here.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 23 2022

I thought it was solid.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Nov 28 2022

I had already heard a few songs before, but not the whole album. Pretty chill and easy to listen to. I think 5 is probably a bit too generous so 4 it is. Something I could come back to and cherry pick the songs I liked the most.

Nov 29 2022

This album has some obvious classics, but it also had some stinkers for me. It felt illegal to listen to Ken Kaniff at work and Kim was... wow. Some of the songs sound better when you don't listen to the lyrics, which I think kind of defeats the purpose. Overall pretty decent though.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Nov 30 2022

Not even bad old school hip hop. I could listen to it. Call 1800pp51doodoo

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Dec 02 2022

It was fine I guess. A soft 3 for me.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 05 2022

I liked a few songs, but overall just another average-meh album for me.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Dec 06 2022

I would say average.

Faust IV by Faust
Dec 07 2022

Not really my thing.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Dec 09 2022

One of the funnier albums we've gotten. Less funny as it went on. UK Rap cannot be taken seriously. Roadman lingo very entertaining though.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Dec 14 2022
Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 15 2022

yeah, not my favorite. Kinda interesting stories and vocals but not really my thing.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Dec 16 2022

It was kind of meh. Didn't feel like a lot of substance here

Dec 20 2022

Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands. Their earlier years though are definitely a bit more psychedelic, especially this album which I think was written mostly by Syd. Here they sound just like another young English band with some weirder more off-the-wall ideas. This album is definitely unique in that aspect, but novelty doesn't equal quality. I think this was overall an okay album, and a required stepping stone for the band to grow from

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 21 2022

I like Bowie. Cool voice. This album wasn't amazing for me though. 3.5 I think is fair for me.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Dec 22 2022

Started at a 2 for me and went downhill. Produced by Nick Mason and the psychedelic influence is definitely seen. Not a fan of this one as a whole.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Dec 23 2022

I normally judge just based on the music, but I'll make an exception here. Would get a 4, but Jerry seemed like a real piece of work...

All Directions by The Temptations
Dec 27 2022

I think this isn't bad. I would say maybe like mid-3 range but not really a 4.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 28 2022

Struggled with what to rate this. Was going to go with 4, but listened to it again and can't really find anything wrong with it. Solid album. 4.5 and I'll round up.

Kala by M.I.A.
Dec 29 2022

Definitely an interesting listen. Not really for me for the most part. Though, paper planes will forever slap. Spotify listening numbers confirmed.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Dec 30 2022

kind of lackluster. Not memorable

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jan 03 2023

Decent for what it was. Just background tunes to blast while you do other stuff. Soft 4 from me

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 04 2023

I thought it was all around okay

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jan 09 2023

3 for me. It was a fun listen but I don't know if I see myself remembering to listen to it again in the future.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 10 2023

Not a 2 or a 4 for me. Strong 3. Was alright. I could listen to it.

xx by The xx
Jan 11 2023

Not quite a 4 for me. I think it’s sitting happy at 3

Fun House by The Stooges
Jan 13 2023

Overall okay, nothing super memorable. Good in the background

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 16 2023

Elvis is Elvis. Pretty recognizable voice and style. Okay album.

Jan 17 2023

A bit repetitive for me. Also sounded like he was just rambling on and on. Listening to it was okay, some of the lyrics seemed... dated we'll say.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jan 18 2023

I think a solid 3.5. I liked it more than I imagined I was going to from the first few songs. Ended strong for me, but not sure I can give it a 4. Not bad though.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Jan 19 2023

Average. Nothing special. Kind of gave some spring vibes? Gotta love the dramatic..... pause on the last song.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jan 20 2023

Solid album with a few all-time classics.

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 23 2023

Pretty decent album

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 25 2023

I've listened to a lot of this before, but never the whole thing. Especially not in one sitting. A few pretty good songs on here.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Jan 26 2023

An alright listen. Nothing super amazing or horrible about this for me. Just felt like another okay album.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jan 27 2023

Not a fan. Lyrics were kinda strange and the vocals were not my favorite.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jan 30 2023

Fine to work to in the background. Nothing crazy memorable for me. A 3.5

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 31 2023

2 not great. A few okay sounding songs here and there. Lyrics were funny-strange at times

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Feb 01 2023

Felt like there was a musical going on in the background while the rest of my brain was trying to tune it out. Nick Cave does "it" again.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 02 2023

this one felt less rambly. Still not really my thing. Each song felt much longer than it needed to be with a lot of harmonica

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 06 2023

I listened to the start a couple times. Not bad. I did like this album, but it also didn't feel very memorable to me. 3.5 for me but since I can't do that, squishy 4.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Feb 07 2023

Second time I listened to this now. Don’t really think it got much better for me. Not really my thing.

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 08 2023

I thought this was okay. It felt like they kind of all blended together.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 09 2023

A soft 2 from me. Didn't enjoy the overall themes of this album as a whole. Just not my thing I think. The first half was a lot better than the second for me. Won't be listening to again

Parachutes by Coldplay
Feb 10 2023

Heard a lot of these songs before, never listened to the whole alum. Some goodies

2112 by Rush
Feb 13 2023

I would say like a 4.5 for me, but I'll round up for the nostalgia factor. YES I was born after the invention of sliced bread. YES this is nerd dad rock. YES I want to go fast during Overture/Temples

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Feb 14 2023

Wasn't a fan of this

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Feb 15 2023

Not really notable, another average album

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Feb 16 2023

annoying to okay at best. Not quite a 2, but close.

The Clash by The Clash
Feb 17 2023

It wasn’t amazing. Wasn’t memorable. All kind of blended together. 2.5

Blur by Blur
Feb 20 2023

woohoo

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 22 2023

Kinda weird but I kind of liked it at the same time. It was alright. Listened to it 1.5 times before I realized I had restarted.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Feb 23 2023

I normally am not a fan of world music. Initially I kind of wrote this album off. Listening to it again I kind of liked parts of it. Not quite a 4 but 3.5 I think is fair

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 24 2023

Fast car banger. Others were decent.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Feb 27 2023

Eh, this was okay. Not a 2 for me. Sitting pretty at 3

Doolittle by Pixies
Feb 28 2023

Some songs were better than others. It wasn't bad.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Mar 01 2023

Old me would have given this a 2. New me says weak 3 with some okay songs.

The Band by The Band
Mar 06 2023

Not for me. A little boring and slow. Soft 3 to 2 territory

Live At Leeds by The Who
Mar 07 2023

Pretty much all sounded the same. Not a bad sound, just kind of bland

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 09 2023

Just another album

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 14 2023

A good album, but this is a little too funky for me to say 5. Under the bridge top tier song tho

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 15 2023

A pretty solid album. Normally the Beatles aren't really my thing, but I did like this.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Mar 20 2023

Weak 4. I think it's pretty listen-to-able. Tell Her Tonight just sounds like "Gonna have Nutella tonight" though

Dare! by The Human League
Mar 22 2023

Decent. Got old after a bit, soft 3

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 27 2023

Trouble on where to put this one. Thought it would be something I liked more. Soft 3

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 29 2023

Above average album, fun to listen to

Be by Common
Mar 30 2023

Probably my favorite album from this list I haven't heard before. Will def be listening to more.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 31 2023

Sorry emo Bono, keep your weird fish to yourself

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 03 2023

Easy to listen to indie

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Apr 05 2023

inoffensive, unmemorable background music

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 06 2023

Couldn't be less. Not usually the biggest fan of older hip-hop/rap, but pretty good. A little repetitive

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Apr 10 2023

Not bad. Doubt I would put on again but was a decent listen. Strong three, weak 4.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Apr 12 2023

Was not a fan of this at all. Would be probably the worst 2 I would give, but there's a number lower than that too. Just too yeehaw and too long

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Apr 13 2023

Harmoni-can you not

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Apr 14 2023

A couple of redeeming songs push it to a 3

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 19 2023

This feels like something my uncle would put on after asking if I wanna hear some real music. Then I would watch the family turn up while drinking their bud light

Berlin by Lou Reed
Apr 20 2023

I like some Lou Reed songs, guess they weren’t here tho

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Apr 21 2023
The Real Thing by Faith No More
Apr 25 2023

Not the worst thing I've listened to. It was decent.

The White Album by Beatles
Apr 27 2023

Not usually a Beatles fan but I did really like this

Drunk by Thundercat
May 01 2023

Was close to clicking 4. Definitely unique. But I dunno how often I would throw it on

May 03 2023

It kind of dragged on for me. It was alright I guess. Probably wouldn't listen to much of it again.

Synchronicity by The Police
May 04 2023

a couple of okay songs with the one obvious banger. A bit strange in spots.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
May 05 2023

OKAY at best. A little annoying in spots. Not quite a 3

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
May 09 2023

I dunno. Was okay to listen to. Not memorable really. Maybe 2.5?

Kenya by Machito
May 11 2023

Short and sweet. Maybe not the strongest 4 I’ll give but I liked it more than I thought I would so points for that

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
May 18 2023

eh probably like 2.5? A little psychedelic never hurt I guess.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
May 19 2023

I dunno. It was fine jazz, not really my thing.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
May 23 2023

A little out there for me to just have on and listen to. 2.5

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 24 2023

Not for me

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
May 25 2023

A couple of okay songs. Beautiful = v good. But I feel like this is a situation where the sum is not better than the parts and I would rather listen to a song here or there rather than the whole hour twenty album.

Destroyer by KISS
May 26 2023

Kind of mindless. Okay at best, but have also heard worse. 2.5.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 05 2023

Probably a 4 but I like it so a 5. I listen to a lot of the songs in this album all the time. This was the first CD I ever got to pick out myself so maybe I'm a little biased and nostalgic but I don't care. GOOD ALBUM

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Jun 08 2023

It wasn’t bad. Probably wouldn’t listen to again but not bad

Hms Fable by Shack
Jun 09 2023

Pretty good actually. Didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did. A little clunky at times and maybe not amazing cohesion between songs but overall I liked it

Cross by Justice
Jun 12 2023

Pretty strong album overall.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 13 2023

It was eh

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2023

Felt very low effort and like the people playing the music didn’t even want to

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jun 19 2023

I dunno. It felt weird but also not bad at times? Definitely different. Maybe 4 is generous. 3.5 rounded up

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jun 22 2023

This one was def better than the last one but still just okay to me. I mean good jazz I guess. 3.5 rounded

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jun 23 2023

Boring. Felt like they found a good lyric and decided a good song would be to repeat it for 4 minutes.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 27 2023

A couple overplayed songs but come on. That’s not their fault. Always liked this album.

Risque by CHIC
Jun 28 2023

Not really for me, pretty repetitive

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Jun 29 2023

1.5 really not amazing. Maybe a COUPLE okay PARTS but overall yucky

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jun 30 2023

Ehhhhh I’ve heard worse old school stuff. I’ve also heard better. I wouldn’t really throw this on, but I’ll put a little respect on the name with a 3

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jul 03 2023

Listened to it a few times. Guess I really liked it. Didn't expect to as much as I did.

Jul 04 2023

It was a little weird but got better as it went on. I listened to it a few times and it got better each time but I still can't get behind the first few songs. I would say like 2.5 rounded to 3

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jul 06 2023

Ehhhh it was okay. Had the couple good songs. Nothing crazy good or bad. I guess I could listen to it. Average.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jul 07 2023

Was very surprised at how much I liked this. Kind of slaps and I'll be a little generous from 4.5

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 10 2023

Easy 5 lots of bangers on here.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Jul 12 2023

ehhhh maybe like 2.5. Just kinda boring not a lot going on to be memorable

Cut by The Slits
Jul 13 2023

Listening to this whole album was an exercise in patience I won’t repeat

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jul 14 2023

I think this one was solid. And I'm not just saying that because I would scream MR CAB DRIVER over and over again with my toy guitar as a kid.

Green by R.E.M.
Jul 17 2023

This was okay… fine to have on. No complaints

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jul 18 2023

I think a generous 4. Wasn't bad overall and had a few good songs.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 19 2023

Cool idea for an album, but lost me throughout the playtime.

Boston by Boston
Jul 21 2023

This is a STRONG album. Always liked it, lots of bops

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jul 25 2023

Honestly kinda boppin

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 26 2023

Couple okay songs. Some of the riffs were a little much for me

Aug 02 2023

A few okay parts but after a little bit it was just the same thing over and over.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Aug 03 2023

I think I'm more of a fan of individual songs than Metallica albums. After a while it kind of mushes together. Still, One is a top-tier song. Easy 4

First half absolute bangers. Second half slows down some but not bad. Easy 4, 5 would be pushing a little too much I think? 9/10 if that counts

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Aug 07 2023

Good start but slowed way down and just kind of felt like the same thing

Timeless by Goldie
Aug 09 2023

I guess it was okay for background music. Wow, it was long. Maybe 2.5

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Aug 10 2023

Close to being a 2. Annoying but also kinda of okay as just music being on

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Aug 14 2023

EHHHH some parts were a little more than weird to listen to at work. It wasn't bad. Even with the longer runtime, it didn't feel long and the skits weren't awful.

Aug 15 2023

I think this is an easy 4 but I'll show that I too can like things and push it to a 5. The obvious bangers on this one can carry hard and the other songs aren't bad either.

Disintegration by The Cure
Aug 16 2023

I think this was like a 3.5 for me. Pretty decent. Some of the songs just keep going though but it overall wasn't bad

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Aug 17 2023

ehhh I thnk it was alright. A good song here and there. 3.5 to generous 4

In Utero by Nirvana
Aug 21 2023

No doubt some L parts of this album, but the parts that hit, hit hard.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Aug 23 2023

Nothing crazy here, pretty inoffensive

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Aug 25 2023

EHHHHHHHHH it wasn't horrible but was repetitive and didn't really have any memorable songs besides track 5 which was amazing.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Aug 31 2023

Did NOT expect to like this one going into it. Ended up really enjoying it. Good instrumentals, and the covers I think were solid.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 19 2023

2.5 rounded up. It was OKAY

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Sep 21 2023

Went back to this one a few times. Really liked it, just a sucker for Indie stuff sometimes. I'll be nice and give it a 5. Just super easy to listen to and better than some of the 4's I've given.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Sep 22 2023

Not amazing. A bit annoying and just noisy at some points

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 29 2023

A bunch of bangers. Really solid songs with a unique grungy sound.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Oct 02 2023

It was alright I guess. A little harmonica goes a long way. The first song always slaps though

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 04 2023

Start with a banger, the rest are okay

Queen II by Queen
Oct 09 2023

I think it was a pretty solid album but not really my thing. Maybe like 3.5?

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Oct 10 2023

The heavy feel of the songs is something I always enjoy. Great listen

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Oct 12 2023

Not bad. Pretty average. Maybe 3.5

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Oct 16 2023

Eh knowing some of the history on it makes it a little more interesting but overall just okay

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 17 2023

EHHH it's fine I guess? Not really my thing. Meh 3
