Popular Reviews

Tommy by The Who

This album was dogshit. Some high points here and there, but couldn’t drown out the ridiculous storyline that needed to include a snippet about Uncle Eddie finger banging the protagonist. Who’s Next should have completely eclipsed the need to listen to this “rock opera”. Two genres that I have yet to see belong together.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Feb 01 2023

Great album, defining for its genre

Hotel California by Eagles
Feb 02 2023

Nostalgic, I know all the tracks from my father wearing out this album, and musically elite. Harmonies always top notch, and gotta love a band the has most of its songs sung by the drummer.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Feb 03 2023

I can respect the nature of the album, and like the theatrics of Meatloaf - Fight Club, you know? The cultural significance is likely lost on me by being generationally removed. Fun in principle, but I probably won’t spin this album again for my own pleasure.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Feb 06 2023

I mean, I appreciate the musicality, but I think I’m influenced by his other, more stripped down guitar-based tunes, which I love. Some songs are genuinely great, but my preconceived notions keep my from loving this album.

Heroes by David Bowie
Feb 07 2023

Never been much of a Bowie fan, I think because his voice is quite different and music is not ur typical pop fare. Taking the time to go through Heroes has definitely expanded my appreciation and knowledge.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 08 2023

Fine enough. Something I’m coming to realize is that I really don’t come close to grasping the canon and evolution of music. This album probably represents some major link in the development of and influence in more contemporary, indispensable genre/band. And because I can’t see this interconnected matrix of growth, most albums stand alone in my mind - and this album stands alone as fine enough, not gonna add any of these songs to a playlist.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Feb 09 2023

Maybe 50 years ago (crazy that 1975 is almost 50yrs ago…) Master Race and Africa songs were progressive and inclusive, but it made me uncomfortable. The rest of it - loved it. Imaging a concert where the band is in a small venue, low ceilings, no stage - band is same level as audience, and amps are ear drum busting, beer-sticky floors.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Feb 13 2023

Hard rocking, good first record.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Feb 14 2023

I prefer the patois and meandering pace of Jamaican reggae, but this is aight.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Feb 15 2023

Probably a big r&b album in its day, but not my kinda music. I do like the bass and percussion in these songs.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Feb 17 2023

Not so bad. It deserved to sell more than gold status in Monaco.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Feb 21 2023

Never used to like Elvis Costello that much, but he’s grown on me over the years.

2112 by Rush
Feb 22 2023

Liked it better than I thought I would.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Feb 23 2023

I dig this album. Wish I could let the kids have a listen.

Is This It by The Strokes
Feb 24 2023

Vocals recorded in the 1940s. Like this album.

Tommy by The Who
Feb 28 2023

This album was dogshit. Some high points here and there, but couldn’t drown out the ridiculous storyline that needed to include a snippet about Uncle Eddie finger banging the protagonist. Who’s Next should have completely eclipsed the need to listen to this “rock opera”. Two genres that I have yet to see belong together.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Mar 02 2023

Liked this album back in the day, love it now.

Fragile by Yes
Mar 03 2023

Better than I thought, cool Bass throughout

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Mar 06 2023

Just not that into it.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Mar 07 2023

I liked it better than I thought. Musically pretty expansive - Lou reed could never sing.

Mar 08 2023

Not too bad. I can’t imagine some dudes getting together to make this - long and kinda weird songs, not a single lyric.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 15 2023

As I sat down to listen to this album, I had an uncontrollable urge to shot gun 4 beer, clean my hunting rifle, and tattoo an eagle across my back. ‘Merica, fuck yeah.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 16 2023

I think I love this album. Turns out.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Mar 22 2023

I think these guys might be the reason why I love hard rock and blues-laden guitar riffs. RIP Bon Scott. Thanks Brian Johnson for giving black sensations up and down my spine.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Mar 24 2023

The guitar work was cool. I actually didn’t like the vocals as much. I like Rod, but felt like it was a less well done attempt at some led zepplin.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Mar 27 2023

This album feels legit. Like a dude with a mullet, handlebars, denim sleeveless jacket and def Leppard t-shirt. This fuckin guy drives an I-roc z28 t-top, crushes beers and helps old ladies cross the street. Chicks love him and guys wanna be his bro. Fuck Mötley Crüe and Poison, those dicks can’t roll. Def Leppard sets the bar.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Mar 29 2023

Yeah. It’s 2000s Indy rock to a fault. At times hazy, ethereal, others it’s listener friendly, but forgettable. I wouldn’t mind revisiting it, but it likely wouldn’t occur to me.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 03 2023

I like these guys

Raw Power by The Stooges
Apr 07 2023

Raw Power, baby

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 10 2023

I like the stripped down, guitar style music on this versus bryter layter.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 12 2023

Very good album

Fun House by The Stooges
Apr 13 2023

It’s surprising to me that these stooges albums were being made way back in the 60s and early 70s
