Popular Reviews

So many white people are gonna listen to this and say "Oh this Mr. Cent person is quite vulgar talking about shooting down people, talking about getting with woman, and being braggadocious in general" as if they didn't grow up listening to Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and other popular artist from their times that sang this exact same stuff. Time's change and what people find good changes. I like all these artist (except AC/DC) But don't deny that 50 Cent is a terrible artist because of the stuff he talks about whether it's beats to his songs, the imagery of his songs like Many Men, or even his hit songs that you can't deny will forever stay in the minds of the public like In The Club. Overall I think a lot of people should be more open to hip-hop, but really any genre, it's just i'm tired of these people who criticize this genre but then listen to the artist previously mentioned who talk about the same thing. If Kid Rock can go Diamond (sell 10 million copies) for his garbage album Devil Without a Cause say the exact same things as 50 Cent and get no flack from those same white folks, they can at least tolerate 50 for his arguably better album and best Mr. Rock for the fact that he didn't brag about wanting to sleep with an underage girl.

I think some of the song went on a one minute too long, but overall this album brought a great vibe.

I like the last song being about someone getting a blowjob for over 17 minutes. but this album isn't my cup of tea, some good songs here but I don't think i'll be coming back to this again.

I still think that Gun N' Roses aren't the best rock band of all time or from the 80's, but ill give them credit and say some of the stuff here ain't all bad, but I don't think I would still place them in my own top bands of all time any time soon.

As a big time hip-hop fan, did this album influence almost every album because there is so many melodies that I've heard before in other songs. In other words, this album itself is so damn groovy.

I feel very ashamed that it took me so long to ever listen to this album. For a long while it never interested me to listen to this album, but once I heard the song Even Flow being used on those memes of Jesus skateboarding, I gotta admit, it was a mother fucking banger. But still It still wasn't the push I needed. Then I said "screw it" and put it on and damn, this album really is as good as I heard people said it was. Besides Even Flow, I think my favorite song is Black. I've only heard it once but it's a song that I just immediately connected to because I have had similar thoughts. In the end, don't skip out on this album, it's fucking fantastic.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Apr 13 2023

Danger Mouse seriously makes all music turn to gold. The production was seriously one of the best things about this album.

I don't mind long songs, but jesus some of these songs drag on for so long.

This gives Fallout: New Vegas vibes

Jul 01 2023

I kinda don't like this. It's not the worst thing I've ever heard, but I've heard this kind of sound done way better before and because of that it's not attracting me like something like Gorillaz, Smashing Pumpkins or Linkin Park. It's just barely on the middle of the fence for me: It's not bad and it's not good, it's mid.

I was gonna give it 3 stars, but it's really not that bad considering country is my least listened to or favorite genre. And as a fan of Fallout: New Vegas, I gotta give it at least that extra star for Big Iron, and also for El Paso because it was in the last episode of Breaking Bad.

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 15 2023

So it’s like like the last song of Nevermind, “Endless, Nameless”, but actually more palatable. I think it’s well known that Kurt Cobain did not enjoy the meteoric success of Nevermind and more of Smells Like Teen Spirit. So basically he did a 180 and gave the largest middle finger to people who wanted a more cleaner image of Nirvana and I think it’s very commendable because this sounds like a nervous breakdown. Also I think it was hilarious that Rape Me started out with the same melody as SLTP but is immediately juxtaposed with the lyrics of the song being something about a very serious and disturbing tale.

This would be a 5 but that last track kinda sinks it down one point. I know that when it played live it they’d go ape shit and actually destroy their gear and just be unpredictable. But this is a studio album and the sound of it brings it down because I’m not in the audience to see that kind of spectacle.

🍫 ⭐️ 🐟. NOW LISTEN. THAT'S CALLED MOTHERFUCKING BARS, FELLA. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT!!!! Honestly though, it would be a one, but it does have Rollin' which is defiantly one of my most guilty pleasure songs. But this a really bad album.

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 04 2024

I've heard this album before, but the reason why was because the Angry Video Game Nerd pretty much said that any Slayer record could be a good replacement for DOOM music, and he ain't wrong. This album makes me want to go travel to Hell and kill every single demon I see in the most gratuitous violent way possible.

Apr 05 2024

I just want to use this space to say that not only is this album great, but so are the rest of OutKast's entire catalog (well maybe not Idlewild). I encourage yall to listen to Aquemini, that is one of their best albums, but one of the greatest albums of all time.

Tical by Method Man

Was not expecting a Method Man record to appear hear, but I ain't complaining, he was my favorite Wu-Tang member.

I think I prefer this era of Arctic Monkeys as just a young and scrappy Sheffield kids who made a album together, and the end product being not so bad all put together. They have a serious knack of writing pretty memorable and enjoyable songs to listen and dance and groove too.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 29 2024

This album is literally what introduced back to the Chili Peppers back in 2022 and it such a great introduction. The energy and passion from everyone shows and it shows how much love they have for making songs and it also made me inspired to pick up guitar because these songs gave me that energy that they had as well to write songs. Although since listening to more of their work I personally like Blood Sugar Sex Magik more, this is still a great album that people should still hear.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
May 06 2024

It's currently May 5th, 2024 when I write this and I feel like this generator just gives out albums at the most perfect time. For future reference there is an ongoing beef with Kendrick and Drake and Kendrick is just killing him with the hardest diss songs. So for that to happening while it generated this is truly funny. Another great coincidence what literally the day the Queen of England died, this site recommended The Queen is Dead by The Smiths. To move on to the actual album itself, I mean, how can I sum up a perfect album like this. It's been in my rotation since I first heard back in 2017. The mix of jazz and the hardesr drum beats (especially on The Blacker The Berry). The messages each song are still as relevant and more hard hitting nearly 10 years later. From police brutality on Alright, to the topic of survivors guilt and un-dealt trauma from the past and how no matter how successful Kendrick might be, he still feels like he is a hypocrite for being to busy to help his friends and family who still live in Compton. Or how his success might be making lose his sense and connection to his culture with what fame has brought and that leads to the song How Much A Dollar Cost where because Kendrick has achieved such wealth and success after going to through a rough childhood as detailed in Good Kid mAAd City, he became more selfish and wouldn't give a homeless man a dollar and it metaphorically and litteraly lost him a spot in heaven because he ignored a message that even his mom told near the end of the last album "When you do make it, give back with your words of encouragement and that's the best way to give back to your city" and just how he chose to value his material belongings and couldn't give back to held a person in need just one dollar. Going back to him being a hypocrite, even he knows that he can be in the wrong and might care because the song These Walls, despite being one of the best sounding songs on the album. It's about him getting the most petty revenge by having sex with a girl who's boyfriend shot Kendrick's friend in Sing About Me on GKMC, and is now in prison, basically humiliating this guy to the world that his girl in unfaithful and sleeping with his opps. I think one of the top 3 songs though has to be The Blacker The Berry. Kendrick is pissed in this song and you can hear the hatred and anger in his voice, not only towards racist white people, but near the end when he explains that he can reclaim stereotypes of black people, and he can twist any insult towards him or his people, but he still feels like a hypocrite when he showed remose for the murder of Trayvon Martin, but still lead a life where before he would gun down black people as well showing how he want's the unnecessary and cruel violence towards black people to stop but knows he was in a similar situation himself and continued that cycle of violence. I could go on and on about each track but I'll just say, this is a required listening experience. From the obvious poem that Kendrick reveals more and more at the end of songs and you only hear the full poem and understand it's meaning from where it stops to what song comes immediately afterwards. The lushish jazz influenced beats, the songs U and I, and the last song Mortal Man with that last part of the song, if you know you know because I don't want to spoil it for someone who hasn't listened before and doesn't know what to entail because there's still a bunch a stuff I haven't yet talked about. Just give this a listen it. It's truly one of the best albums in the last 10 years and maybe ever.

Debut by Björk

21 by Adele
Jun 26 2024

I was coming in to this album to hate it, but dammit, I have call a spade a spade and admit this album is pretty damn good. I was around 6 years old when this album came out and my family used to play the radio a lot so I heard some of these songs a lot, mainly from my mom and sister, and it drove me insane and I would avoid trying to listen to it and because of that it lead to me listen to heavier stuff or songs that were the antithesis of the kind of the music this was like rap, metal, electronic etc. But now that I am older and have developed a more eclectic and can appreciate pop songs like this and more, man I can't deny how good Adele and this album is. The fact that someone with this much emotion, raw power with her vocals, and can make songs this intimate and then it becomes the highest selling album of the 21st century is crazy. There is no song on here I would call vapid or distinguish like other pop songs of this time and later one. She knows how to write catchy hooks and also make it incredibly devastating like with Set Fire to the Rain. In conclusion, if you hated something as a kid, look back at it and see if it's change because 9 times out of 10, you were too naive to really appreciate it.

Dookie by Green Day
Jul 02 2024
My Generation by The Who
Jul 14 2024

As with many bands, the single or most popular song on their first album is always the best while the other tracks in one ear and out the other. Though with hindsight, it is clear that The Who would be able to make entire albums worth of good songs, or projects I might be willing to go back to.
