Popular Reviews

Fancy Blue by Tywanna Jo Baskette

Bad day to have ears.

Alopecia by WHY?

A little different, but nothing really special. Kinda came and went.

Welcome To The Beautiful South by The Beautiful South

Kinda came and went. Caught my ear a couple times, but I never checked for a song name so nothing really stood out.

The Livelong Day by Lankum

Fleet Foxes, but turn the lights down. Not something I can see myself ever really reaching for again in my life, but it was rather pleasant. Could make a good soundtrack to a movie, but is a bit too moody for real life. Maybe for a funeral.

Quadrophenia by The Who

I think I mentioned this before by The Who sound so American. Good ol' rock n' roll. Love Reign O'er Me makes me feel like I'm in some sports movie or something.

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (170)

Temple of Thought by Poets of the Fall
Feb 26 2026

An alt rock's alt rock album. Pretty much every song sounds like it could be in the NHL 2k13 soundtrack.

Join Us by They Might Be Giants
Feb 27 2026

Sure. Learned that these guys have a bunch of children's albums so I'm sure I'll be back to listen to them in a couple years.

Up To Here by The Tragically Hip
Feb 28 2026

Another lower 3. Not off to a great start here.

Triage by David Baerwald
Mar 01 2026

Best album thus far. Sounded like U2 in the back half.

Suzuki by Tosca
Mar 02 2026

Finally some good fucking food. Not the most exciting, but I can definitely get down with this. At first I was thinking I just liked it a lot compared to the lackluster albums we have had so far, but it turns out this is just a really solid album to jam to. Perfect for a work day tbh.

News at 11 by Cat System Corp.
Mar 03 2026

I feel like the sound quality must be an artistic choice to mimic the quality of an early 2000's TV. Definitely felt like Weather Channel music. The artistic idea of "what if instead of one of the most impactful days in a country's history was just a normal day instead" really doesn't lead to much thought provocation. It's like if someone made a cop movie where no crimes were committed that day and the characters all went home safely. This album honestly had me for a little bit until the commercials started. Was too long as well. It also seems like The Weather Channel 1-11 aren't even Cat System Corps work, it was just ripped from a VHS.

Inside by Bo Burnham
Mar 05 2026

This is certainly a unique choice for a submission. While I know not everyone likes comedy albums (I do), it was unrepresented on a list that included almost every genre known to man. I watched this instead of just listening to it so if that changes things for people so be it. Some real hilarious hits on this one and the whole medium was just so well done and thoughtful. The gradual descent into depression (genuine or not) was a perfect representation of being locked in during COVID. I'm sure that the gravitas of that will be lost as years progress seeing as it already feels so different watching in 2026 vs 2021. Bo letting his hair and beard grow out was a great touch to the whole project. I think Bo has funnier stuff out there, but the creativity and commitment to this one was incredible. High 4.

This Land by Gary Clark Jr.
Mar 08 2026

Whoever added this to the list probably has a huge hog and a huger heart.

Rip It Off by Times New Viking
Mar 09 2026

My EnV3 could record in higher quality than this album. It's a shame because I didn't hate the music.

World Of Echo by Arthur Russell
Mar 10 2026

I didn't really love this, but I certainly didn't hate it. It strangely had me tuned in even though it just felt aimless. Little long, I was over it after about 40 minutes.

Mar 11 2026

Nothing crazy good about it. Another album that could make it as a sports or racing game soundtrack. Little more emo than I care for, but no real qualms.

Blade Runner by Vangelis
Mar 12 2026

Definitely a cool add to this list. I like that it had just enough of the dialogue from the movie to remind me of what was going on during the plot. Really well done score that blends electronic with that noir sound. High 4. Can't quite give it a 5, but maybe I'll rewatch the movie soon.

Angel Dust by Faith No More
Mar 13 2026

I knew I have heard Midlife Crisis which made me go down the rabbit hole that is the GTA: San Andrea Radio Stations wiki page. Man I missed a lot of good music because I only listened to Radio X when I was 9 years old. Anyway... This album was fine.

Mar 14 2026

Very Arcade Fire-esque with the choir and the general etherealness. I mean that in a good way. Midnight City (top 100 song) and Reunion are certified bangers.

Goat by The Jesus Lizard
Mar 15 2026

South Mouth would be a good euphemism for a blowjob.

Last Splash by The Breeders
Mar 16 2026

Not really my cuppa tea. It is on the milder side of grunge so it wasn't terrible, but nothing really stuck out to me.

Fantasies by Metric
Mar 17 2026

Pretty solid indie rock. Enjoyed it at times, but was forgettable at other times. Approached 3.5 territory, but it kinda all blended together and didn't have anything unique enough about it to bump it to 4.

Boys And Girls in America by The Hold Steady
Mar 18 2026

I feel like a change in vocalist or maybe even just the mixing of the vocals could really elevate this album. The band does a great job. The vocals feel disconnected in a way. Unrelated but this gives me some Bruce Springsteen and moe. vibes. Good, not great.

Stories by Avicii
Mar 19 2026

This is an odd one because I certainly went through an EDM phase so Avicii was right there the whole time. While his hits are all-timers, I haven't done a dive into his albums. It's odd that none of the artists are featured on the song titles (at least on YouTube Music) even though it sounds like there is a variety of artists on this album. There are a number of songs that sound like pop country, and the rest just have The Avicii Sound. Overall I came in with high expectations and left feeling a bit underwhelmed.

Almoraima by Paco de Lucía
Mar 20 2026

Nothing wrong with someone masterfully strumming the guitar for 37 minutes. 3.5 with a Friday bump.

Maestro by Kaizers Orchestra
Mar 21 2026

Another pretty solid album, but nothing remarkable. About halfway through I thought we were taking a turn down Kollaps Avenue. Glad we didn't.

Mar 22 2026

Pretty much as middle of the road metal as you could ask for. Higher side of 3.

I And Love And You by The Avett Brothers
Mar 23 2026

Hit me with a couple of these songs while I'm buzzed around a campfire and you'll make me feel like I'm in a movie. 10am at work on a Wednesday does not give me the same feeling. Still good, but I'm sure there is more potential here.

Beautiful Midnight by Matthew Good Band
Mar 24 2026

Matthew Alright Band. This is a perfectly OK album that just lands as an intro to alt rock. Not bad, but giving this a high 2 for blandness.

We Like It Here by Snarky Puppy
Mar 25 2026

Hell yeah we have broken the mid-3 train with an absolute heater. Starts off great, carries through the middle great, finishes great. It might not stand with the best of the best, but its an absolute jam of a listen and blows the other submitted albums (so far) clean out of the water.

Out of the Blue by Debbie Gibson
Mar 27 2026

About as good as 80's pop gets. Nice use of the synths and bass with a bubbly voice to create some catchy tunes. Can't really hate it, but I don't think this one will be remembered by the time the credits roll.

First Utterance by Comus
Mar 28 2026

This was an interesting one for sure. I dont even think I could give this one a number grade. On a scale on red to violet, it gets a green.

Okonokos by My Morning Jacket
Mar 29 2026

Generally not a fan of most live albums being on this list. Not because I dislike them, but because it pretty much becomes a greatest hits album. That said, this band is awesome and they absolutely crush it live and I enjoyed every second of this show.

Oceanic by ISIS
Mar 30 2026

This was another very interesting album. Not like anything I have really heard. It's like a metal jam band. The vocals weren't my favorite, but they weren't a big part of the album.

Mar 31 2026

This is one of those albums that is inoffensive in a great way. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I just can't imagine somebody hating Khraungbin unless they are just being contrarian for the sake of it. The worst I could see someone being is indifferent. That said, I love their sound because it works equally well as a deep listen as it does to just throw on as background music for a crowd. This is the odd "low 5"

2 by Mac DeMarco
Apr 01 2026

I feel like I have been moving in parallel with Mac Demarco. He has been well known for about a decade now and plenty of people have told me they are surprised that I don't listen to him. For some reason I just never really went down the Demarchole. A really perfect album for a 72 degree, sunny, midday walk with your dog. Definitely have heard Freaking Out the Neighborhood.

Life Goes On by Carla Bley
Apr 02 2026

Made me sleepy the first half. Made me focused the second half.

Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown
Apr 03 2026

Lyricism is pretty good, but I'm not a fan of his voice. Beats are really solid for the most part too. Came into this one knowing a bit about Danny Brown, but never really listening to him. I also don't listen to much rap in general so maybe my understanding of this album isn't the greatest, but I didn't really care for it. Overall I see some bits that I like, but his voice and general flow were not for me. High 2.

Lateralus by TOOL
Apr 04 2026

Pretty dang cool. A very unique sound that isn't exactly metal or grunge or rock or nu-metal or anything like that which is appreciated. Tool bass makes me happy. Probably could use some trimming down, but there aren't any real misses. It's just long.

Speak & Spell by Depeche Mode
Apr 05 2026

I mentioned Depeche Mode 16 times in all of my reviews; usually not in a favorable light. That said this might be my favorite Depeche Mode album thus far. Little lighter, poppier, Kraftwerk-esque. Still don't care for the band, but this listen was pleasant enough.

Y Ahora Qué? by Reincidentes
Apr 06 2026

Middle of the road rock with some words I couldn't understand. Tres perfecto

Reconstruction Site by The Weakerthans
Apr 07 2026

Some stronger points of this album had me thinking 4, but it was more middling parts through and through.

The Ideal Crash by dEUS
Apr 08 2026

Let's See Who Goes Down First was a great one. Granted that's the song that was playing as I finished up work and started closing out all of my tabs on a Friday, so maybe that had something to do with it. Low 4

Polygondwanaland by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Apr 09 2026

I also have this as my 8th ranked King Gizz album and it is definitely the threshold of their 5 star and 4 star albums because I am really struggling here. I have less listens on this album overall, but it has that excellent KGLW quality. Fourth Color fucks, it gets the bump to 5.

In Between Dreams by Jack Johnson
Apr 10 2026

Made banana pancakes while listening to this album. What a coincidence! King of singer/songwriter. Some of the most accessible music you could imagine. Clear, fun, catchy lyrics. Simple beachy/surfy melodies. Just as enjoyable when I was 10 years old vs when I'm 30 and I'm sure I'll still be listening at 50 and 70. Would hate to meet a Jack Johnson hater.

Time's Up by Living Colour
Apr 11 2026

Elvis is Dead reminds me of Primus in a way. Maybe it's the bass and general uniqueness. A more interesting album than I expected! Only lands at about a high 3 though.

Dimanche à Bamako by Amadou & Mariam
Apr 12 2026

This is a fun one! Not much to say except it was a peaceful listen

The Livelong Day by Lankum
Apr 13 2026

Fleet Foxes, but turn the lights down. Not something I can see myself ever really reaching for again in my life, but it was rather pleasant. Could make a good soundtrack to a movie, but is a bit too moody for real life. Maybe for a funeral.

Brand New Eyes by Paramore
Apr 14 2026

Had more of a review, but something has been causing reviews to not submit for some reason. Not a huge pop-punk fan, but this is up there in terms of best pop-punk albums after only one listen. Hayley Williams holds it down for sure.

Yeti by Amon Düül II
Apr 15 2026

A listless little adventure. Good, not great!

You & I by Rita Ora
Apr 16 2026

Catchy pop with a bit of that EDM twang. Fun to listen to, but won't impact my life for better or worse.

Nuyorican Soul by Nuyorican Soul
Apr 17 2026

This has to be up there for coolest album ever. Easily a 4 from the start. Think it had just enough juice to give it the bump to 5. There just isn't a single blemish on here and I could easily reach for this as an instant mood booster.

Brat by Charli xcx
Apr 18 2026

I just listened to this a couple weeks ago on a random whim. Definitely bangs. Electric, grungy, unapologetic pop. Truly a unique sound. Points also have to be given for just the cultural significance of brat summer that swept across the USA's 20-something gals, gays, and theys demographic. A pretty cool thing for a single album to become a craze like that in this day where the monoculture of music has completely shifted since the advent of streaming.

Demon Days by Gorillaz
Apr 19 2026

This was a really great album. One you can certainly kick back to. Maybe I didn't understand why their hits were so popular, or maybe my music taste has just evolved over the last 3ish years, but I think I need to run through the Gorillaz discog. I feel like Kevin was tired of me saying I was a Gorillaz hater, but I will eat crow here and say this album ruled. I immediately want to listen to it again.

Only Death is Real by Stray From The Path
Apr 20 2026

This is metal up your ass. Very reminiscent of Rage in lyrics, energy, and even the singer's voice and cadence. Happy this one was only 29 minutes, I didn't hate it, I just know that it would start losing points if it went any longer. Going with a surprising high 3 here.

Blonde by Frank Ocean
Apr 21 2026

First time listener to Blonde. Have given Channel Orange a couple spins and haven't quite "got it" yet. That said after just one listen I think I like Blonde a bit more as a whole. It really makes me want to listen to Ocean's two albums a few more times with more intention since I think I'm starting to get there. Low side of 4 for now.

Fear Inoculum by TOOL
Apr 22 2026

To me, Tool is a good listen every once in a while, but I can't think of a time in my life where I would ever really reach for Tool. It just meanders in a way that doesn't feel like it fits into most daily activities. Maybe it would be good music for waxing skis or an intense dishwashing session (lots of dishes). Pretty similar review to Lateralus; good, but not 90 minutes good.

Moffou by Salif Keita
Apr 23 2026

Pretty pleasant at times, but mostly on the boring side. Wasn't awful by any means, but I was looking for the final song about halfway through. High 2.

Grand Prix by Teenage Fanclub
Apr 24 2026

Going Places was a standout. This is an album that would have been better without the singer. Another album that isn't bad, but I just was not engaged by it whatsoever. High 2.

Tomorrow Belongs To Me by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Apr 25 2026

Listened to this a few days ago and forgot to rate so bear with me as I am fuzzy on the details. Little weird, little good.

Repetition by Unwound
Apr 26 2026

not for me, thanks

Diary by Sunny Day Real Estate
Apr 27 2026

Cool album cover. Sounds like some mid 00's rock, surprised this is mid 90's. Wasn't really my favorite, but I was absolutely crushing work while this was on. It has some juice for sure. High 3! Got better as it went on, but the sound wasn't groundbreaking whatsoever.

Cleopatra by The Lumineers
Apr 28 2026

Oh boy we get some Stomp-Clap-Hey on the list! Good thing I just waxed my mustache, cuffed my jeans, and put on my beanie (70 degrees outside). I make fun of this because The Lumineers lined up squarely with my high school days so I saw the worst of it. In reality, I enjoyed The Lumineers a good bit back then. While they fell off later, it wasn't cause they were bad, it's just not the most exciting of listens. That said, they still bring a nice, light calmness to the table that I can always appreciate. This album is about what I expected, I'm sure it could hit a bit higher in the right setting, but this one goes down as a pretty square 3.

10,000 Days by TOOL
Apr 29 2026

[Copy and paste other TOOL review here] I think I am in TOOL burnout. Couple songs in here were real good, but then I lost interest in the back half. High 3

Madvillainy by Madvillain
Apr 30 2026

Flow for days. Definitely need to be more tuned in for this one because it is just littered with great lyricism that flies past you if you aren't paying attention. Maybe on the lower side of 4 for me after a first listen. Would definitely come back though

Don't Throw Stones by THE SPORTS
May 01 2026

These guys probably look at The Talking Heads like they are idiots for not being able to figure out a puzzle.

Erratic Cinematic by Gerry Cinnamon
May 03 2026

Good name. Alright music. Something about the mixing of the vocals is bothering me and I can't put my finger on it.

Come On Come On by Mary Chapin Carpenter
May 05 2026

Not normally something I would listen to, but this was enjoyable! Her voice is pleasant and clear. It got a little slow for a bit, but some of the faster songs were great. High 3/Lower side of 4, but one of the better singer/songwriter albums we have had. Was planning on giving it the bump, but it was a bit slower on the back half of the album.

A Complicated Woman by Self Esteem
May 06 2026

Good album cover. Got a shock laugh out of me, but I also genuinely like it. Another great singer with clear, powerful lyrics. Pretty blunt message with the perfect amount of angst to come across as angry and inspiring instead of sad and whiny like you get with some angst-driven albums. I've said before that I think it's interesting when someone's accent comes out when singing because I feel like accents get lost in music unless they are specifically annunciated.

May 07 2026

The unfinished aspect of this leaves it a bit jarring to listen to in an album format. However, there is a lot of nuggets in here that are incredible. I read through the wikipedia which gave me better context, but I just can't give it points for tough luck. If this was finished I could easily see it in the 4, maybe even 5 category. However, this has to settle for a high 3 as-is.

A Deeper Understanding by The War On Drugs
May 08 2026

Strangest Thing is a heater. Every War on Drugs song sounds so similar, but I love their sound so it's okay. Folky and shreddy. Really enjoy War on Drugs, enough for a very high 4.

Wincing The Night Away by The Shins
May 10 2026

The Shins have some bangers, but I've never listened to a whole album by them. Pretty good. Listened twice. Wasn't particularly blown away by anything, it's just good+. High 3.

Welcome To The Beautiful South by The Beautiful South
May 11 2026

Kinda came and went. Caught my ear a couple times, but I never checked for a song name so nothing really stood out.

McDonald and Giles by Ian McDonald
May 12 2026

Was pretty good, but was in the background most of the time. Could use a more dedicated listen I am sure, but there is plenty of good prog out there.

Dogrel by Fontaines D.C.
May 13 2026

Not the worst punk. High 2

Come And Get It by Rachel Stevens
May 14 2026

Was on board at first, but then it just became another pop album. Not the worst, but I was ready for it to be over pretty early on.

Sunbather by Deafheaven
May 15 2026

Album cover did not have me expecting metal whatsoever. It really looks like the label for a beachy cologne. There were actually a few things I really liked about how this album, but the vocals were not it. The instruments were a bit crammed at times, but then there were moments where everything was able to space out and breathe a bit. I'm gonna go mid 3 here. The vocals are just hard to ignore on an otherwise very interesting album.

Quadrophenia by The Who
May 16 2026

I think I mentioned this before by The Who sound so American. Good ol' rock n' roll. Love Reign O'er Me makes me feel like I'm in some sports movie or something.

Hand. Cannot. Erase. by Steven Wilson
May 17 2026

A proggy blend of electronic and metal which is right in my wheelhouse. Would make for a great Risk of Rain 2 soundtrack.

Rêver mieux by Daniel Bélanger
May 18 2026

I feel like this had a 2:1 ratio of really nice songs to snoozers. Overall there were no bad songs, so it's a baseline 3, but there were definitely a sprinkling of songs that really caught my attention. Whether it was the electronics or the choice of instruments that caught my ear, it definitely had a unique but accessible vibe to it. Gonna listen to this one again when the boys get home from daycare.

Fancy Blue by Tywanna Jo Baskette
May 19 2026

Bad day to have ears.

Stranger In Town by Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band
May 20 2026

Very shocked that Bob Seger was not on the original list. That seems like an oversight (UK bias). Before this album I don't think I could tell you a Bob Seger song off the top of my head. Of course, I have heard some of these songs countless times, but I just never specifically looked for Seger music. Good stuff. Hollywood Nights top 100 song?

Get To Heaven by Everything Everything
May 21 2026

Cool album cover! This was a pretty cool one. I'm surprised I have never heard of this band from Kevin cause this feels like it's right up his alley. Perfect mix of weird, sad, and good. Wish I gave this one a more focused listen, but I'll come back to it.

Red by King Crimson
May 22 2026

King Crimson doesn't miss.

Elk-Lake Serenade by Hayden
May 23 2026

Calm and pleasant, but the singer brings it down a notch.

Year of the Cat by Al Stewart
May 24 2026

Honestly pretty cool album. It's not too different from your Billy Joels or your Elton Johns to be honest. Could see a low 4 here because it surprised a bit, but it just doesn't feel right. 7.4 on SpinShare.

Deadwing by Porcupine Tree
May 27 2026

More Porcupine Tree for Kevcon. Nothing outstanding here, but it was solid.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show by Various Artists
May 28 2026

Never seen it, maybe I should. Is it a Halloween flick? Maybe we can get something in the works... Seems like something Kellen and Lauren would like. Little kooky, little fun. Nothing to write home about though.

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel
May 29 2026

I went into this thinking it was going to be hipster trash (because it's April Ludgate's favorite band). Damn was I wrong. This is really really great. Reading up on the recording techniques before I listened definitely helped. [untitled] was a fun trip. Fuck it, low 5. Happy Friday, Milkers!

May 30 2026

Pretty whacky and fun. Not the most serious album, but they don't all need to be. I'll go high 3 here, maybe I'll play it for the boys.

Alopecia by WHY?
Jun 01 2026

A little different, but nothing really special. Kinda came and went.

Circles by Mac Miller
Jun 02 2026

Posthumous albums have always been a little weird to me, but as long as I assume they have arranged some sort of power of attorney over their creative endeavors then it's no harm no foul. Nothing really stood out to me particularly, but there is some really good production here. Otherwise it's solid and chill album that maybe borders a bit on sleepy.

TRON: Legacy by Daft Punk
Jun 03 2026

Pretty good for a movie I have never seen. Electronic/techno out the wazoo on some of these tracks paired with some general Disney triumphant music. Was expecting a bit more tbh. There aren't really any flaws, but I am sure this is made better with a motion picture in front of me instead of work spreadsheets. High 3, low 4 territory. I bet if I had seen the movie it would get the bump.

Home, Like Noplace Is There by The Hotelier
Jun 04 2026

Not a huge fan of emo, but this was pretty good all things considered. If this was a list of just emo albums, it could get a 4 or 5. Unfortunately for The Hoteliers there are other, good genres out there so this will just have to settle for a 3.

Forced Witness by Alex Cameron
Jun 05 2026

Is this a joke album? Like it's not bad, in fact it's solid. It just feels like it's parodying some classic rock albums or artists.

After Hours by The Weeknd
Jun 06 2026

Fitting to listen to a Canadian star whilst in Canada. Whoever produced this album deserves so much credit. The Weeknds voice is annoying at times, but I got over it. So many of these songs feel like songs from Bo Burnham's Inside. Especially the one about fucking in the studio. Blinding Lights is a mega hit and deservedly so. I probably listened to this song 5-6 times a day when I was working construction and it first came out. Shout out Elfago for bumping this one with me on repeat. I'm still not tired of that song.

Jun 07 2026

Interesting concept of analbum, but it sounds like a whole lotta "you just don't get it". I enjoyed reading about it more than listening to it.

Out Of Time by R.E.M.
Jun 08 2026

A step below Spoon. They are solidly good enough. I wanted to like this more so maybe I'm a bit harsh here. Half a World Away has been on my alternative/indie playlist for over a decade now so I really enjoy that song. Everything else was just fine.

Loss Of Life by MGMT
Jun 09 2026

Listened to this twice. Didn't really get into this one except for the opener. It's a fine album.

Moanin' by Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
Jun 10 2026

This is some plus Jazz. I feel like we've had a couple meh jazz albums lately, but this is just a classic jazzy jazz sound. Good stuff.

"Awaken, My Love!" by Childish Gambino
Jun 11 2026

Just listened to this one about a month ago for the first time. Great album cover. Unique album that hits all the right notes. Feels like I really wanted it to be a 5, but I think it may have gotten me at a not great time. I'll listen to this one night on the patio and see if it can get the bump later. Redbone top 100 song?

Millennium by Backstreet Boys
Jun 12 2026

Came for the pop hits, had to stay for the shitty ballads. Honestly this started at a 4 and steadily worked it's way down.

Racine carrée by Stromae
Jun 13 2026

Hits that cross section between pop EDM and straight pop. Almost like newer Coldplay stuff. I could see these songs littering summertime radio in Europe.

Nail by Scraping Foetus off the Wheel

Horrible horrible name. ... Horrible, horrible music.

Flood by They Might Be Giants
Jun 18 2026

This is silliness. High 2.

Dead Elvis by Death In Vegas
Jun 20 2026

Interesting trip hoppy album that explores some different genres. Decent enough background music. All That Glitters and Opium Shuffle were actually really good for an opening one-two, but it fell off aside from Rocco.

Pink by Boris
Jun 22 2026

2.5 that hit me at the right time.

Never seen this movie, expected this to be an unsatisfactory listen without context. Was pretty dang surprised at how much this jammed. Overall I think there is plenty here that the narration part could be left out, but it was entertaining enough to hear the story.

St. Jude by Courteeners
Jun 25 2026

One or two songs sounded like The Kooks. Otherwise this was just good.

Espaloian by Itoiz
Jun 26 2026

Smack dab in the 3.5 zone. Nothing remarkable, but it was entertaining and short. Gets the bump on a Friday. Low 4,

L'autre... by Mylène Farmer
Jun 27 2026

Not bad, but ultimately felt like a waste of 54 minutes.

Jun 28 2026

Felt hyperpoppy at times, but in general I was engaged and bobbing along. COOL Party was funny. Feels like this could be a fun show to go to.

Ruby Vroom by Soul Coughing
Jun 29 2026

Pretty interesting album. Felt more like a spoken word/narrated album than anything. The jazziness was pretty cool. The lyrics were kinda odd at times. Overall there was something just right about this album that had me engaged. Maybe I was waiting for the dude to say something truly unhinged at every turn. Straddles that 3/4 line, gonna give it the bump for just being unique.

Jun 30 2026

Pretty standard stuff here. Songs I could imagine playing in the lobby of a dentist office.

Modal Soul by Nujabes
Jul 01 2026

Exactly what I needed this morning. An incredibly smooth hip hop album with good features. Easy listening, cool, and soothing. I feel like I could listen to this on repeat and be perfectly content. I'm sure this will get several replays in the next few days.

Sound Awake by Karnivool
Jul 02 2026

This is probably better than IN VERSES, but its been a while and that was a pretty forgettable album. Just good enough to stay above a 2, but the length was wholly unnecessary.

GLOW ON by Turnstile
Jul 03 2026

Definitely have a unique, modern twist to that 90's/00's pop punk/arena rock sound that I usually slap a 3 on and move on with my day. Love that the softer elements of this album don't take away from the overall momentum of the album, but instead gives you a nice reprieve from that power pop sound. Would like to see these fellers live.

Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus
Jul 04 2026

Hmmm it always feels weird "not liking" jazz, because I do enjoy it a fair bit. However, nothing about this one in particular engaged me. It was great sounding, but as far as jazz goes, it isn't one I'd really be interested in picking up again. Feels like an unfair (but high) 3, but here we are Mr. Mingus

Nonagon Infinity by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Jul 05 2026

WOOOOO! - Stu Mackenzie My favorite of the Gizz albums which has a couple 5 star albums at the top. Listening to this one during a 10-mile race a couple years ago felt like a cheat code. Unrelenting energy in this one (except for Mr. Beat which came at a pretty inopportune time on a long hill). Slam dunk 5, easily in my top albums of all time.

Carolina Confessions by The Marcus King Band
Jul 06 2026

This is that good southern rock. Marcus King rules. Happy someone put him on this list.

Sublime by Sublime
Jul 07 2026

If I had to pick a single album to be ambassador for an entire decade, this is on the short list for the 90's. I know it would have to compete with the grunge scene, but this stoner rock/blue-eyed reggae really transports me into the carefree nature of the 90s. What I Got top 100 song?

Weezer by Weezer
Jul 08 2026

Brings back memories of Weezer Jam Session on AddictingGames or MiniClip or one of those sites. Not much to say about this one except it's just really good. Not a life changer, but they don't all need to be!

Partisans & Parasites by Daniel Kahn
Jul 09 2026

I appreciate a different genre of music being submitted to this list. However, this is not for me. Thank you for understanding.

Images and Words by Dream Theater
Jul 10 2026

Pretty intense wrap up to a decent album. Definitely felt proggy in the right ways. Felt pretty hair metally/arena rocky for the most part though. This just exudes 3.

Emotion by Carly Rae Jepsen
Jul 11 2026

As far as pop goes, this one lands in "plus" territory. Didn't really need to be an hour long. Yeah, I listened to the bonus tracks, you wanna fight about it? Low expectations coming in, pretty solid throughout. High 3.

Stella by Yello
Jul 12 2026

OOOHHHHH YEAAAHHHHH. I wonder what I would have thought of that song if I had never heard it before. Cause it's pretty great. Little dark and a little weird. Couple moments where I was thinking 4, but after a relisten I think there was more "good" than "great"

Pulse by Pink Floyd
Jul 13 2026

Can't complain about more Pink Floyd. I do judge live albums differently than studio albums, though. While this was an enjoyable listen, I don't think it was particularly elevated at all by being live. I hate to give this a 3, because it's all great Pink Floyd songs, but I would much rather just throw on their studio albums. This is a biased, harsh 3

Game of Fools by Koritni
Jul 15 2026

Poor man's Def Leppard This band would be awesome to see live at 1230am at Rams Head during van day. I would want them to do plenty of covers though.

Romance by Fontaines D.C.
Jul 16 2026

Good album cover. Decent music.

Broken Social Scene by Broken Social Scene
Jul 17 2026

Need to give this one another listen because it was interrupted quite heavily, but I did enjoy it for what it was. It feels like a low 4 already, but I'll have to listen to it while cooking dinner or something.

I Trawl the Megahertz by Prefab Sprout
Jul 18 2026

That was an interesting one. Points for being on the original side. Nothing really stood out to me.

Savage Sinusoid by Igorrr
Jul 19 2026

Really had low expectations after the first 7 seconds. This was glonky.

Love Is Hell by Ryan Adams
Jul 20 2026

Felt like a waste of time. Really hit with the uninspired cover of Wonderwall.... High 1. Wish I skipped this.

Save Rock And Roll by Fall Out Boy
Jul 21 2026

Fall Out Boy's sound feels so manufactured. It only exists to be played at NHL games and in Bionicle commercials. I went in expecting this to be a 3 because it would just be "fine", but it feels insulting that this is an honest creative attempt at art. Back to back high 1's. Yeesh.

Jul 22 2026

Butt rock adjacent. Nothing special at all. Couple cool effects in the background. Low 3.

Katamari Damacy by Various Artists
Jul 24 2026

Never played the game, but I have seen enough footage of it to imagine rolling a ball o' stuff around to this musica. Video game soundtracks are an interesting add, because I feel like they have so much more meaning and weight to them when you have played the game, similar to some movie sound tracks. I guess normal albums have more weight to them if you have listened before... Anyway, this was pretty fun but also pretty long. Lots of cool electronics going on here and all of the vocals were varied and great additions, even though I don't know Japanese. This is a very high 3, but despite it being a Friday right before I leave for vacation, I don't think it quite gets the bump.

Contra by Vampire Weekend
Jul 25 2026

First half is loaded with indie playlist staples. Really great album, but most songs sound so similar that I have to ding it there. Was a strong enough start that I was contemplating 5, but it'll have to settle for a high 4. Recommended for a walk on the beach while your kids are asleep.

Telefone by Noname
Jul 27 2026

nice lil morning number.

Loss by Mull Historical Society
Jul 28 2026

This was just alright at times, and downright irritating at other times. Really nothing here to write home about at all. Higher side of 2, I'd say.

Piano Bar by Charly García
Jul 29 2026

Another album that just isn't doing much at all for me. I appreciate the non-English albums being added to this list, but this was uninspiring.

Are You Shpongled? by Shpongle
Jul 30 2026

Unique as hell. Nailed it with the name "Shpongle". Obligatory "would take drugs" comment. High 3.

Caju by Liniker
Jul 31 2026

ME AJUDA A SALVAR OS DOMINGOS was grooving just right and then hit me with the blue ball. Thought I skipped it by accident somehow. Lot of really good stuff here. So Special was kinda Drake-y for better or worse. Overall plenty here for a lower 4. I was certainly grooving.

Has A Good Home by Final Fantasy
Aug 01 2026

Pretty good, but not the most exciting. Hard to say this is anything other than a square 3.

Aug 02 2026

This was good jazz, but a little sleepy for me when I really needed a bit of a jolt at the time of listening. Could see this being a 4 or even a 5 in a better environment, but it was pretty average, especially for jazz.

The Mollusk by Ween
Aug 03 2026

Only knew one song by Ween going into this so I was expecting yacht rock. Was not expecting the weird. OCEAN MAN 🌊 😍 Take me by the hand ✋ lead me to the land that you understand 🙌 🌊 OCEAN MAN 🌊 😍 The voyage 🚲 to the corner of the 🌎 globe is a real trip 👌 🌊 OCEAN MAN 🌊 😍 The crust of a tan man 👳 imbibed by the sand 👍 Soaking up the 💦 thirst of the land 💯

Sing To God by Cardiacs
Aug 04 2026

This was a trip. I'll say there was some redeeming qualities in the songwriting, but ultimately this just wasn't the most pleasant in my earholes.

Nimrod by Green Day
Aug 05 2026

Sure. Not great by regular standards, but good enough for pop punk standards. Good Riddance has that "coming of age" drip to it that I actually like quite a bit.

The Emancipation of Mimi by Mariah Carey
Aug 06 2026

Pretty much exactly what I expected. Glad this mid 2000s pop album wasn't 1 hour+ like they often seem to be.

GUTS by Olivia Rodrigo
Aug 07 2026

Really well produced pop album that includes just the right amount of rock, pop-punk, and even a couple dashes of electronic. Although I have never listened to Olivia Rodrigo, I'd have to be living under a rock to not know about her top class voice and energy which are definitely on display on this album. Pretty solid 4 here. Could definitely see myself giving this a relisten.

David Comes To Life by Fucked Up
Aug 08 2026

I would love to hear this without the singer. The actual music is pretty solidly a 4. It's so hard to listen past the volume and mediocrity of the vocals though. Really a bummer.

Relatives in Descent by Protomartyr
Aug 09 2026

I feel like this usually wouldn't be my cup of tea, but it actually was pretty solid. The singer gave me Nick Cave vibes where its more in the spoken word realm, not to mention the general mood of the album.

Roadhouse 01 by Allan Rayman
Aug 10 2026

Production quality is there. Nothing else is really there, though. Pretty boring voice, flow, and lyrics.

Deceit by This Heat
Aug 12 2026

Some of the songs were fine, some were just noisy. Nothing was ever "good"

The Phantom Of The Opera by Andrew Lloyd Webber
Aug 14 2026

Come on now... a 2 hour play? While this is decent, it just really isn't what I am here for. Similar to movie sound tracks, it just does not do very much for me if I haven't seen said movie. There is so little context of who the people are that are singing and why they are singing. Not to mention, there are actual bits from the play and not just the songs.

Aug 15 2026

Never really dove into C&C even though they were prevalent during my youth. Was never a fan of emo music though so that's probably why. Still don't care for it, but it's fine enough. Low 3.
