Popular Reviews

Tim Buckley
1/5
Each song has more offensive lyrics than the next. The racism and chauvinism age poorly.

The Killers
2/5
I don’t know who decided this band was good, but it wasn’t me.

The Gun Club
2/5
I definitely won’t be seeking out this album or any other of their albums for future listening, but a couple of the songs had promise.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
1/5
The lead singer sounds unhinged, the chorus of “Gang Bang” made me cringe, and in “Next,” I heard the f-word (not fuck…the other one). How this is one or the 1.001 best albums is confounding.

It had been a long time since I listened to this fun album
