Popular Reviews

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band

Occasionally great, occasional meh. Straight down the middle for me.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

Man, hell no. Pretentious nonsense.

Let It Be by The Replacements

Apparently I'm a fan of the Replacements now. Gonna dive into them deeper.

All Ratings (70)

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 12 2023

Heard it before without ever really listening. Stevie in his absolute prime.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
May 13 2023

Have owned this album since it came out and it still holds up.

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 14 2023

Wish I would have discover this earlier, would have loved it.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 15 2023

Literally the first album I ever owned.

Faith by George Michael
May 16 2023

This album is hoooooorny. But it's got some fantastic songs too.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
May 17 2023

I have no idea what the lead singer is saying at least half the time, but surprisingly fun album. Love the horns and strings all over this album.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 18 2023

Apparently one of the most overrated albums ever. This thing was super repetitive.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
May 19 2023

Wow, this was great. Had only heard the 2 big radio songs before but this was stacked start to finish, outside of the weird longing for an architect.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 20 2023

It was good, but their next album is the classic.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
May 21 2023

Good atmospheric jams

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
May 22 2023

Oh crap, this is not what I thought Morrissey sounded like!

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 23 2023

Fantastic, peak Stones.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
May 24 2023

Found some unexpected and great chord progressions here

Slayed? by Slade
May 28 2023

I mean, they're fine but I'm surprised they made this list.

May 29 2023

Same thing I initially thought, would have been much better condensed into 1 album.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
May 30 2023

Really good Neil Young album that I hadn't heard yet.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 31 2023

I wish we could give half stars on this.

Jun 01 2023

Very meh outside of Tainted Love. Complete opposite of Dexy and his Midnight Runners.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jun 04 2023

Not for me, Clyde. But I like the guitar arrangements.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Jun 05 2023

Apparently I'm a fan of the Replacements now. Gonna dive into them deeper.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 06 2023

One of my stranded on a desert island albums. Easy 5.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 07 2023

It was nice to hear 90s rock that I hadn't heard, but this was pretty average.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jun 08 2023

First off, this album is not on Amazon Music, so I checked out their greatest hits. Our House is a great song. And every other song sounds just like it.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jun 09 2023

Had it on in the background and wasn't really locked it but there was something there that made me want to give it another run. Listened again with headphones on and yeah, now I get it.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 10 2023

Well, this was just fantastic.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jun 12 2023

It's a great metal album, probably Metallica's best. I would really like to hear a remastered version with the bottom end brought up though, super high on the treble.

Jun 13 2023

This is really really great. The reggae song is total trash, but otherwise this one crushes.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jun 14 2023

Amazing sound quality for a concert over 50 years old. Not my favorite Who songs though

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jun 15 2023

I wish country music still sounded like this.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jun 16 2023

One of my favorite albums that I've owned for like 20 years. What do you think?

Ramones by Ramones
Jun 17 2023

Same song for 30 minutes, but I loved some of them, so 3?

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jun 18 2023

Much better than Cream, and I'm getting curious how much Clapton is on this list. Still a solid British blues album from when they were all stealing licks and songs.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jun 20 2023

🔥 Immediately added to the rotation.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jun 22 2023

I can't even get high enough to make this interesting.

25 by Adele
Jun 23 2023

Incredible voice, but needs more variety

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jun 24 2023

I love this album front to back.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jun 26 2023

Feels like the bridge album between early and late Beatles.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jun 27 2023

Fantastic album, trails off a bit at the end. Little bit tighter track list and it's a 5.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jun 28 2023

Much better than anticipated. Cool sounds here worth a revisit.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jun 30 2023

Unexpectedly, it was exactly what I needed. Great swing music from the 50s. Just fun as hell.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jul 01 2023

Good, but not blown away. Hard to compare some of the older albums because they formed so much of what came later.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 02 2023

Funky as shit and wildly more progressive than I thought the Temptations were.

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 03 2023

Heard nothing that The Cure weren't doing 10 times better at the time. The Seven Mary Three of 80s gothiness

Parklife by Blur
Jul 04 2023

You can see the roots of the Gorillaz in thos album for sure

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jul 26 2023

Just awful singing, flat untuned garbage.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 28 2023

Please feed me more like this. About to start listening to these guys on the reg.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jul 29 2023

It's crazy how many one liners from this album still show up in rap songs. Classic and wild influential

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Aug 24 2023

I like the highs a lot, but it loses focus at times and it's easy to tune out

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Aug 25 2023

Occasionally great, occasional meh. Straight down the middle for me.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Aug 26 2023

Ladies and gentlemen, the formation of a Chad right here. Heard this all the time growing up. And yet,.......not a complete album.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Aug 27 2023

Didn't really work for me, feel like you have to be in the right mood to sink into this one.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Aug 28 2023

Don't feel like I know enough jazz to have a proper opinion, but was great background music.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Aug 29 2023

Much better than I've ever given this band the credit for.

Play by Moby
Aug 30 2023

This absolutely takes me back to a particular place and time. It's a bit repetitive, but it's also fantastic to listen to with a buzz.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Oct 05 2023

Man, hell no. Pretentious nonsense.
