Popular Reviews

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan

Most overrated band in existence in my opinion. Boring and then they are pretentious about it. No favorite track, I'll give it two because it's fine for background music you ignore

Headquarters by The Monkees

This is literally the album where the people who were too garbage at music to make songs managed to wrest control and make an album. It's bland soulless garbage and whoever says it was a must listen is beholden to nostalgia and definitely should not be reviewing music

The Dreaming by Kate Bush

Ok album. Made me lose a lot of respect for Tori Amos as an innovator, she copied this whole aesthetic and style hard

Raw Power by The Stooges

I preferred the Iggy mix version of the ones available

All Ratings (302)

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 01 2023

I've never understood the level of love for this album. It's The Clash going full glam rock but with more basic instrumentals; probably biased because parents played into their media love. That said it's not a bad album, second half is much stronger than the first. Alone, together is probably my favorite track but Barely Legal and Last Night are contenders

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Mar 02 2023

Good album, I have a hard time differentiating it from other music if this genre. Not sure what makes it stand out. Favorite track is the bottle

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 03 2023

I'm a sucker for this type of music, the soul leaving into the blues rather than jazz like Gil Scott-Heron. Really made me want to listen to Sam Cooke and Bill Withers.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 04 2023

Most overrated band in existence in my opinion. Boring and then they are pretentious about it. No favorite track, I'll give it two because it's fine for background music you ignore

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Mar 05 2023

Another boring one to me, better than Steely Dan but not enough for me to bump it to a3. Favorite song: Coronado

Smash by The Offspring
Mar 06 2023

One of my favorites from high school. Aged better than I expected. Favorite track bad habit

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Mar 07 2023

Son of a Preacher Man is almost cool enough to save it on it's own but nah

Slayed? by Slade
Mar 08 2023

Interesting predecessor to a lot of better bands? Favorite song mama weer crazy or whatever it's called

Mar 10 2023

Every song except Jamaica is good if not great. That one is really really bad though lol

Mar 11 2023

I really wanted to find out that they shouldn't have been a 1 hit wonder but everything else was meh. A poppier Joy Division

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Mar 12 2023

Second half was much better than the first.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 13 2023
Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 16 2023

Not what I expected in the first half, more what I expected (and like less) in the last half/third

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Mar 17 2023
1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 22 2023
S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things

Musically might be a 4 but I've never been able to tolerate the vocals

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Apr 23 2023
American Idiot by Green Day
Apr 30 2023

First half I was going to put a 4 which surprised me a lot. Second half was a little too inspired by Black Parade imo

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
May 01 2023
The Blueprint by JAY Z
May 09 2023

Would have been a 5 for me in college

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jun 18 2023

This is literally the album where the people who were too garbage at music to make songs managed to wrest control and make an album. It's bland soulless garbage and whoever says it was a must listen is beholden to nostalgia and definitely should not be reviewing music

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Jun 19 2023

Great example of old school hip hop. Unfortunately that just doesn't often age well

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 20 2023

Just not my thing, especially in very long doses. I'm sure it's technically amazing

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jul 03 2023

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 28 2023
Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Nov 01 2023

3.5 not what I expected

Make Yourself by Incubus
Nov 02 2023

I almost gave it a 5 but too many of the songs sound similar

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Nov 04 2023

I was excited about this one because the singles are so good but the fluff was extra fluffy. Evens out at a 3

Boston by Boston
Nov 05 2023
Rubber Soul by Beatles
Nov 06 2023

I'm not gonna give them all 5s

Electric by The Cult
Nov 13 2023

3.5 would be a4 if I liked 80s Rick more

Debut by Björk
Nov 16 2023

Honestly me giving Bjork a 3 is a bigger deal than other albums getting a 5

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Nov 20 2023

Too repetitive to be background music and not my style for active listening

En-Tact by The Shamen
Nov 24 2023

Edm style I don't like combined with hippie pseudoreligion happy place bullshit. It's like a nightmare come to life

Drunk by Thundercat
Nov 26 2023
Slipknot by Slipknot
Nov 27 2023

Considered a 5 but a little too edgelord and dated

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Dec 01 2023

Would have been an easy 4 if not a 5 but I have issues when people refuse to be actually repentant for actions

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Dec 05 2023

I could see me liking it more if I was in a certain mood but usually nah

Jan 31 2024
Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Feb 16 2024

The definition of whelming. Basic blues combined with basic rock. Rolling Stones did the same thing way better at the same time

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 13 2024

Almost a 4 there's still just a few things that don't vibe with me
