Popular Reviews

This is one of those albums that must've sounded great when they created it at 3 in the morning then woke up the next day and realized it's absolutely not what they thought it sounded like.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk

This has to be one of the most abysmally boring albums I've ever heard. The fact that it's early electronica does not excuse them creating a mildly intriguing sound and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing interesting with it for several minutes at a time.

Kid A by Radiohead
Sep 27 2022

While this album is significant in the context of the evolution of Radiohead, I can't help but feel it's a bit underwhelming to be included in this collection of records. The experimentation is interesting but mostly forgettable. Favorites: How to Disappear Completely, Idioteque

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Sep 28 2022

It was pretty decent, nothing really stood out to me about the album though. Favorite: Wild Wood

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Sep 29 2022

I am partly convinced this album was only included for California Dreamin' and I'm okay with that. Other than that song this was a very long 30-something minutes. Favorite: California Dreamin'

Fragile by Yes
Sep 30 2022

This review will be continued. Favorites: Roundabout, Heart of the Sunrise

Tommy by The Who
Oct 02 2022

I didn't really get too much into the story, but I still enjoyed the album. Favorite: Pinball Wizard

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 03 2022

I really loved this one, I don't usually listen to much funk/soul so this was a treat. Favorite: That Lady, Pts. 1 & 2

Synchronicity by The Police
Oct 04 2022

I feel like a lot of it sounded samey but it had some standout tracks. Favorite: Synchronicity II

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 05 2022

I did not need to hear this before I die.

Cross by Justice
Oct 06 2022

Absolutely love this album. Favorites: Stress, Waters of Nazareth

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Oct 07 2022

An absolute banger of an album, wonderful to revisit. Favorites: My Wave, Superunknown, Black Hole Sun

Berlin by Lou Reed
Oct 08 2022

Well that was a bit of a downer. Favorite: Berlin

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Oct 09 2022

An extremely concerning album if you don't know that there's satire going into it.

Oct 10 2022

This is one of those albums that must've sounded great when they created it at 3 in the morning then woke up the next day and realized it's absolutely not what they thought it sounded like.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Oct 11 2022

After listening in the wee small hours of the morning, I think it may indeed be a good album for that time of day.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Oct 12 2022

Bizarre but not off-putting surprisingly. I actually quite thoroughly enjoyed the sound of it. Favorite: Peaches

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Oct 14 2022

Ah, this is why I know of them. Pretty decent stuff even outside the hits honestly.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Oct 15 2022

This was every punk album ever created followed by an okay cover of Mrs. Robinson. It's not bad but it's not particularly interesting either.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 17 2022

It's alright, I think? I dunno there's some pretty odd stuff on here and it makes me wonder who this was made for.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Oct 18 2022

This has to be one of the most abysmally boring albums I've ever heard. The fact that it's early electronica does not excuse them creating a mildly intriguing sound and then proceeding to do absolutely nothing interesting with it for several minutes at a time.
