Popular Reviews

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

5/5

This reminds me of Carole King's Tapestry with the heartbreak songwriting. It's so tender, with the lyrical sensitivity of country music. I love it, especially the songs Jo's Lament and the title track.

Machine Head

Deep Purple

4/5

I quite liked this. It seems like a predecessor to the heavier, harder rock and metal that I don't like much. It's giving stereotypical "young British rockstar". I loved the track Maybe I'm a Leo and the extended instrumentation in Lazy. Listened to it around three times abd I'll be listening to it again sometime.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Glad I finally listened to this classic. It's sweetly mellow and melodramatic. Some of the lyricism feels a little dated but it has a soft, comforting feeling. The title track is still among the greatest I've ever listened to, and I also really loved New Kid in Town and Try and Love Again.

Parallel Lines

Blondie

5/5

I REALLY loved this. It sounded like a poppier, more accessible version of Horses by Patti Smith, an album I love. Heart of Glass is a track I heard before and I still think it's the best song on it.

2112

Rush

4/5

A bit screamy but interesting nonetheless.

The Stone Roses

4/5

I love that I listened to this on New Year's Eve while quietly walking home. It has such a ravey vibe while also sounding lonely. It was really nice and spacey. I may not listen to it much again but I really liked it, especially the track Waterfall.

Punishing Kiss

Ute Lemper

4/5

This was great. I liked how eclectic and witchy the sound was. It reminded me of Ys by Joanna Newsom but less consistent.

Jagged Little Pill

Alanis Morissette

5/5

An angry classic.

Teen Dream

Beach House

5/5

I usually dislike this genre of music; I find it headache-inducing. But this was just so well-made. It has a cohesive texture while also having many eclectic sound choices to make each track interesting.

Future Days

Can

4/5

This was the kind of art album that you listen to once and really like but aren't much tempted to listen to ever again. I might though, just cuz it's so intricate.

The Boatman's Call

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

5/5

I could listen to this forever. I am a huge fan of Leonard Cohen's You Want It Darker album and this feels just like that. Replayed twice and will be many more times.

This Nation’s Saving Grace

The Fall

2/5

I can see the appeal but this is definitely not my cup of tea.

Gasoline Alley

Rod Stewart

5/5

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

3/5

Groovy but not particularly grabbing.

Dig Me Out

Sleater-Kinney

5/5

Fabulous. Phenomenal.

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

3/5

The Wall of Sound style is interesting but I never enjoyed Christmas music.

The Seldom Seen Kid

Elbow

5/5

Ahhh this is so good. I listened to it while house-cleaning and I think that's part of why I like it so much. I don't like the song Weather to Fly but I love how melodic and earwormy even that song is. A lot of the songs, such as The Fix, also feel so noirish. One Day Like This is definitely the highlight and I've listened to it so many times already.

Buffalo Springfield Again

Buffalo Springfield

4/5

I quite enjoyed this. I can see why it would be exceptional at the time, though the over-separation of the stereo channels is dated and a little grating. Regardless, the sparse sound is very pleasing and the record often feels like they're just playing around with what conventions they can twist. I like it.

Cheap Thrills

Big Brother & The Holding Company

3/5

Janis's voice is iconic, but I prefer Pearl. I see the appeal of the rough-around-the-edges production, but it's a little too rough.

Blue

Joni Mitchell

5/5

This is, in my opinion, the greatest album of all time. I've loved it for six years now.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

4/5

I love jazz, and this is of the more upbeat variety. It's very enjoyable but gets a little tedious by the end.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

One of the greats. I love listening to this slightly tipsy, half-pretending to be a wreck.

Green Onions

Booker T. & The MG's

4/5

Pleasant background music. I like how the instrumentation makes it sound like somebody is singing along to it.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Elton John

5/5

Why does an Englishman have a southern American accent? 5 stars.
