Popular Reviews

Vespertine by Björk

Like listening to a DJ mixing two tracks that have nothing in common while standing next to freeway hearing traffic go by.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads

There's a reason why only a few Talking Heads songs got airplay, because most of their music is utter shit. This album exemplifies that statement.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
May 18 2023

There's a reason why only a few Talking Heads songs got airplay, because most of their music is utter shit. This album exemplifies that statement.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 20 2023

Good production, some great songs. Overall, a pretty enjoyable album.

May 24 2023

No. Pink Floyd failing at psychedelia. They would have faded into obscurity if they had continued on this path.

Vespertine by Björk
May 25 2023

Like listening to a DJ mixing two tracks that have nothing in common while standing next to freeway hearing traffic go by.

xx by The xx
May 30 2023

No, thanks.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jun 01 2023

This album demonstrates that anyone can record a 28 song album. Musical talent is not required.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jun 08 2023
Ingenue by k.d. lang
Jun 15 2023

Nine songs of longing with the same vocal phrasing.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Jun 17 2023

Fantastic debut album! Great song writing, musicianship, and production. This album sounds gorgeous.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 18 2023

I never understood the hype about Janis Joplin.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Jun 30 2023

If you like 80's music made in the late 90's, this is the album for you

Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 01 2023

Amazing from start to finish

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jul 04 2023
Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 05 2023

Seemingly endless noodling on a Hammond organ, live. The ELP we know and love from album radio is about 1% of their catalog, which otherwise sounds like improvisational jazz for prog rock.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jul 09 2023
Rio by Duran Duran
Jul 13 2023
Jul 16 2023

Synopsis: A terrible singer and mediocre songwriter performs his art project to torture everyone who hears it.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jul 17 2023
Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 21 2023

Why would someone make and sell this album

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 22 2023
Graceland by Paul Simon
Aug 05 2023

Phenomenal.

Imagine by John Lennon
Aug 08 2023
Aug 10 2023

When they remixed this album, they won the loudness war by turning those horns up to eleven.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Nov 29 2023

This is fun!

Heroes by David Bowie
Dec 05 2023

OK, so that's what a full Bowie album sounds like.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Dec 09 2023

Evidently all you need to make it in the music industry are 3 chords and a catchy band name.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 13 2023

Great production, weird songs.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Mar 02 2025

Typical Cocteau Twins sound, with interesting melodies and ethereal unintelligible vocals. Worth a listen to every now and then.

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 28 2025

Another 1001 Album Generator shit album that the algorithm has been paid to promote. What a load of crap.
