Popular Reviews

Kimono My House by Sparks

This album is part of a very small exclusive club of albums I just couldn’t bring myself to finish.

1-Star Albums (14)

All Ratings (51)

Tidal by Fiona Apple
May 16 2023
Arrival by ABBA
May 17 2023

Just awful.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 19 2023

I really liked this one a lot. Can’t believe I’ve never heard it before. Bonus points for the theme song to Conan’s podcast.

Synchronicity by The Police
May 22 2023

Wasn’t too bad. Got some nice early punk vibes in some of the songs. A little bit too “jazzy” for me in some parts, but I liked it. Except that one song where he was yelling about his mom calling.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
May 23 2023

Pretty weird, but funky in a good way. Once in a lifetime is a banger.

May 24 2023

This guy was rock and roll before it was even a thing and this album is him taking modern rock songs and making them BETTER. Bought the CD when it came out. Amazing.

May 25 2023

This is probably the only OutKast album I’ve never listened to. It’s pretty much two albums. One Big Boy, and one Andre 3000. It’s good but it’s also 2.5 hours long. Halfway through the album it’s like you go from club music to baby making music, which was interesting for my work commute.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
May 29 2023

I know this band is huge but I’ve never understood the appeal. This album felt like a boring soundtrack to a boring indie movie.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
May 30 2023

I enjoy some songs from the Zepp but overall the album seemed like one big bluesy-rock song. Wish it switched up a bit more but wasn’t too bad.

Headquarters by The Monkees
May 31 2023

I actually liked this quite a bit more than I thought I would! Kinda had some surf rock Beatles with an early punk vibe to it. Huge points for having mister dobalina on here as well. Now excuse me while I go cry to “shades of grey”.

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jun 01 2023

I’m not a big country fan but I’m aware of Merle’s legacy. Some of the songs really painted a picture so kinda fun to listen to and had some fun guitars. “Drink up and be somebody” will definitely go on the drinking playlist. Still a bit too westerny for me though.

Jun 02 2023

I really, really dislike anything that resembles techno or dance music, but I’ve always liked Fatbot Slim for some reason. Maybe it was the awesome videos of his when I was younger. This album was a fun way to start my morning commute.

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 05 2023

This album had two hits on it (which are bangers) and the rest felt like an 80s movie.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jun 06 2023

I like some stuff by the cure but it gets kinda dull after awhile for me. Always been a bit on the “emo meets new-wavy” side. With that being said, pictures of you and love song are fun songs.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Jun 07 2023

This album rocks! Very first song I knew this album would be killer. This reminds me of drinking beer, watching jackass as a teenager, and shredding anything on wheels.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jun 09 2023

I had never even heard of this artist/group. Just couldn’t get into this album at all. Boring 90s techno(?). Made it a few songs and Spotify showed the (remastered) album being 5 hours…?! Jeesh.

Queen II by Queen
Jun 12 2023

I love queen but this not their best album. If you like queen you’ll like it though, just doesn’t have any of the hits.

Jun 13 2023

Had a couple of the classics on there. A little too early of Elton for my likings.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jun 14 2023

Classic punk/hardcore album. If you’re into that kinda stuff (I am) then you’ll probably love it. Has a couple of their hits on it. I tend to forget this album was released in the 80s but some of these songs definitely remind you.

Jun 15 2023

I couldn’t get into this hippy stuff. Never heard of them before. Sounds like a band that would play early at Woodstock.

Jun 16 2023

Man John Lennon is just the worst. This whole album did nothing for me beginning to end…and is that COOKIE MONSTER I hear on the second song??! Good lord.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jun 19 2023

Never heard of this guy before but man, I liked this a lot more than I thought I would have considering it’s not in English and I couldn’t understand a single word. Very funky in a good way.

Jun 20 2023

I don’t know why I can’t get into this album/band. I feel like their guitars have the same tone in each song. Not saying it’s bad, probably just not for me.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Jun 21 2023

Dreadful. Felt like I was listening to the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Jun 22 2023

This sounded like like Oasis and Garbage had a baby. Very 90s indie rock feel to it. Kind of dragged on after a bit.

Jun 23 2023

Well THIS was a pleasant surprise after weeks of 60s folk rock and foreign artists. Haven’t listened to this album since I owned the CD in high school and oh man does it still rock.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 26 2023

I’ve only heard of Zappa from an old Saturday night live episode and people on Reddit who can’t stop talking about him. This is weird stuff like if someone gave an angry Cole’s up person a saxophone.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 27 2023

If I never hear stairway to heaven again, I will be totally ok.

Jun 28 2023

If you close your eyes, you can believe this album is Dracula: the musical. Not as cool as the album cover would lead you to believe.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Jun 29 2023

I’m always weary when I get some old country album but Willie is usually pretty good. I enjoyed his version of unbridled love(?).

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 30 2023

This is their first album. Still pretty good but imo not their best one. However, I’ll take anything by the foo fighters.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 03 2023

This album was ok but a bit slow for me.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 04 2023

This album is a stinker. And now I have “Dreamer” stuck in my head for the rest of the day so great.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 05 2023

I know she’s a legend but I have never listened to more than a couple of her songs. This was pretty good, I thought it would be slower.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jul 06 2023

Can’t believe I listened to an entire Madonna album on the way to work. I bet this album SLAPPED in 1989. Some of the songs were a tad dull but I actually got into more than I thought I would.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jul 07 2023

This album is part of a very small exclusive club of albums I just couldn’t bring myself to finish.

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 10 2023

I think an old roommate of mine blaring this album everyday kinda ruined it for me.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jul 11 2023

I swear every other song on this album had bongos in it.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jul 12 2023

This whole album felt like an awful Bond soundtrack.

Jul 13 2023

Is there a name for this style of music? 60s British rock? Anyways, I don’t think I like it. All sound like knock offs of the Beatles.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jul 17 2023

The entire time listening to this album I had that annoyed Clint Eastwood look on my face.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 18 2023

I love Thin Lizzy but find it really hard to enjoy live albums. Can’t hold it against them though.

No Other by Gene Clark
Jul 19 2023

This sounds like the Beatles tried to do a country album. Not in a good way.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jul 20 2023

Holy freaking keyboards. Every song is like a coked up organ player from a baseball stadium.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jul 21 2023

I feel like the last 10 albums have been from this time period. This may not help my review of this one.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jul 24 2023

Albums ok. They are supposed to be one of the pioneers of punk but really it’s mellow music to drive to or cook dinner on a Sunday.

Jul 26 2023

If you’ve never heard of chvrches do yourself a favor and check them out. I listen to punk/thrash/rap and don’t dig pop too much but this band is amazing.
