Popular Reviews

Aretha's talent really carries this album because while she delivers a great performance on every song the music and lyrics are for the most part boring and kind of repetive.

Face to Face by The Kinks

Every song on this albums is just okay other than Sunny Afternoon which is great.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths

Morrisey is a prick but he's a very talented prick. Great emotive vocals and really great lyrics from Morrisey particularly on "I Know it's Over." The music on this album is also really good stuff that manages to be entertaining and engaging while still fitting the somewhat dreary and sad tone of a lot of the tracks. The album also manages to have a very consistent feel to it without getting boring or overly repetive. The album even manages to have some fun without distracting from some of the more powerful somber tracks. It's really great stuff all around.

Dummy by Portishead
Sep 06 2022

Pretty good it's got a very unique sound which is cool. Strong vibe and feeling to the album. Some really cool moments but it can also get a bit repetitive and boring at points. Overall still a very competently done album with some particularly strong moments.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Sep 07 2022

Every song on this albums is just okay other than Sunny Afternoon which is great.

Illmatic by Nas
Sep 08 2022

Pretty much as definitive as an album can be for it's era and genre. But it's not a totally perfect album the beats while good can get old with the repetitiveness on some of the tracks. And the storytelling on the album isn't always the most engrossing and can be kind of repetitive. Other than that the albums pretty much perfect, especially in regards to Nas' rhymes which are pretty unmatched.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Sep 09 2022

A bunch of fun grooves.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Sep 13 2022

This albums greatest strength and greatest weakness lies in the fact that it is an hour of improvised piano. On one hand it's a very impressive display of Jarrett's immense talent. On the other hand it can't be much more than a display of Jarrett's talent. It's pretty enjoyable music but it's not like the albums about anything and since it's just a piano for an hour it ends up being more of a background listening experience.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Sep 14 2022

Great music throughout lot of great songs but the album is a bit overfilled and some song run longer than necessary making the album as a whole very impressive but not as great as its height's.

Dare! by The Human League
Sep 15 2022

Some interesting stuff is done with the synth on this album but generic drum machine beats, questionable vocals, and the repetive and often weak lyrics weigh this album down heavily. I'd rather listen to a D.A.R.E seminar

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Sep 16 2022

A lot of different sounds but they all blend together pretty well all in all it's pretty good but a bit long.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 17 2022

Pure sex. Really good production too. At times how pure sex it is can get a bit old but it's good stuff.

No Other by Gene Clark
Sep 18 2022

Really great music and lyrics. Some pretty interesting production as well. While not necessarily the most exciting songs in the world the length isn't really noticeable because the lyricism and musical talent are very engrossing. A really cool and innovative folk/country album.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 19 2022

Really inconsistent albums a lot of the songs are really fun and groovy and then sometimes it deng ding dong dong ding ding and then there's some questionable mixing/production on a lot of the tracks where it's just weirdly loud.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Sep 22 2022

While I can appreciate this albums influence and acknowledge there is some cool stuff on it, it definetly does sound like it's one of the first hardcore punk albums which is to say it doesn't sound very good.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Sep 23 2022

Really good production, good interesting flows, and serviceable lyricsm. Overall a really cool project.

High Violet by The National
Sep 24 2022

Cool music, interesting lyrics, a cool experience all around but occasionally some of the tracks arent super engaging and don't really stand out.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Sep 25 2022

This album makes me want to smoke cigarettes in a dark club with sunglasses on.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Sep 26 2022

Catchy while still being unsettling an staying true to it's industrial roots. Lyrics and vocals convey the emotion of the album very effectively.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Sep 27 2022

An album that's always pretty good and thoroughly enjoyable and easy to listen to but also suffers from a lack of really grabbing songs or exceptional moments.
