Popular Reviews

1984 by Van Halen

Boring repetitive glam hair metal, nothing extra. If you enjoy this genre, it's time to get your prostate examined my friend, Solid one star at best.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel

suprisingly good artsy pog pop, didnt expect much when I started listening but the songs are consistently good. Enjoyable, 4 stars

1984 by Van Halen
May 17 2023

Boring repetitive glam hair metal, nothing extra. If you enjoy this genre, it's time to get your prostate examined my friend, Solid one star at best.

May 18 2023

Way better listen than I anticipated. Pretty dreamy almost gazy parts in some songs. Decent 3 stars, very deserved

May 28 2023

average folk rock, nothing much extra to write home about. All the songs sound the same. 2 stars at best

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
May 29 2023

pretty sounding chamber folk, the songs don't sound the same. Enjoyable listen, just not really my style. I find folk to be quite boring. Still solid 3 stars, I'm pleasantly suprised.

Be by Common
May 30 2023
The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 01 2023

Couple decent songs but a lot of these are just fillers with nothing to add to the album as a whole. Still 3 stars are deserved.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jun 02 2023

suprisingly good rest of the album (meaning anything besides the two songs everyone knows). Enjoyable new wavey pop. deserved 4 stars

Play by Moby
Jun 03 2023

very good album, especially the first half. second half was kinda meh, kinda just waiting for the album to end. Still solid 4 stars

Risque by CHIC
Jun 04 2023

fairly boring disco, nothing extra. The most commercially succesful song is 8 mins long for no fucking reason, while it could have lasted 4 mins at most and be semi-enjoyable. 2 stars at best, sorry boomers, enjoy your colonoscopy

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jun 05 2023

classic 70s prog, i dont really like that genre this much, but this was album was more enjoyable than I anticipated. Still 3 stars, just not really my style

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jun 07 2023

some typical late 90s grungey pop bangers, the rest of the album was mid to decent. Still above average album, 4 stars

Repeater by Fugazi
Jun 12 2023

4 stars, very solid

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Jun 13 2023

suprisingly good artsy pog pop, didnt expect much when I started listening but the songs are consistently good. Enjoyable, 4 stars

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jun 15 2023

its just ambient, nothing more. Still better than the albums I gave one star

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 16 2023

classic 90s gangsta rap, aged very well.Still loving it. 5 stars

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 02 2023

kinda dissapointing consider how hyped this album is on sites like RYM, decent album with 2 catchy songs but nothing more than 3 stars

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Aug 08 2023

one of the better folks, has like three of four songs I'd re-listen to. Deserved three stars just because I don't really like folk. I prefer my music to not be a snoozefest

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Aug 11 2023

Decent elevator music or nostalgia-filled music for 40+ yo boomers. Either way this album is just in the middle of the pack, not great not terrible. Just not very memorable

Aug 12 2023

U2's music is just plain boring. It's the first thing you get when you Google the meaning of the word 'boring', it's the kind of music you put on when you're trying to fall asleep. Still later U2's albums prove thatsometimes it is better to be boring than to be straight up horrible, so I give them the 2 stars for that

Aug 25 2023

nice early baggy britpop, enjoyable sometimes a bit too simple. Still a very good album, deserved a listen

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 26 2023

very enjoyable art pop, there's much more to this album than just 'that Starnger things song'. Everyone should listen to this album

Aug 27 2023

late 60s/early 70s prog rock and folk rock in general are one of the most boring genres that I cannot enjoy no matter what when being sober. Thank god there were some jazz-ish parts sometimes so person can wake up from the sleep and enjoy something. 2 stars at best

Different Class by Pulp
Aug 29 2023

Absolutely stunning album from start to finish. Best britpop album by a mile, not kidding. Do listen to this album, honest advice

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 01 2023

this folk-ish artsy indie rock is/used to be one of the most overhyped albums in the indie culture, now it's somewhat trendy to hate on this. When one listens to this album and actually doesn't fall asleep midway, he himself can hear why it's considered to be overhyped as shit. It's middle of the pack indie, nothing extraordinary or nothing you'd want to claim as your favourite album

Sep 02 2023

Bob Dylan really pioneered the harsh noise with his stupid fucking harmonica

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Sep 04 2023

average 70s rock n roll, nothing much else to be said. Average 3 stars

Murmur by R.E.M.
Sep 05 2023

very pleasant jangle pop with mumbley lyrics. Very influential album in early 80s indie scene

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 08 2023

absolute snoozefest, nothing to enjoy in this album

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Sep 09 2023

very good early 00s alt/garage revival rock. Much more than like 3 songs everyone know. Recommended

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Sep 10 2023

suprisingly decent reggae, I expected suffering but got some groovy tunes

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Sep 13 2023

great soul-y R&B, good listen throughout the entire album

Sep 14 2023

prime example of an album that "has that ONE song that everyone knows so the entire album must be good". No, bigger half of the songs are pure garbage, the rest is average corny 80s synth-pop. Overhyped trash that I would be glad if it wasn't on this list, beacuse this certainly wasn't an album I had to "Listen to before I die". Gets 2 stars only because Van Halen is even worse

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Sep 15 2023

amazing 80s post-punk-ish goth rock. Most of the albums from The Cure don't miss and this one is no exception

Sep 17 2023

as with every single lana record it's the same three song on repeat. It's a snoozefest that you mildly enjoy

Oct 01 2023

nice funky hip hop, tho the entire album couldve had like one third of all the songs from the album

Mask by Bauhaus
Oct 02 2023

much respect to Bauhaus for experimantal post-punk, paved the way for many bands to-come

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 03 2023

absolutely stunning and amazing 90s gazey grungey alt rock, this is imho one of the best albums ever put out

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Oct 04 2023

pleasant listen to genre I dont usually listen to

The Specials by The Specials
Oct 05 2023

ska, that is enough to give this album two stars or less

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Oct 10 2023

to this day throughout all the music ive ever listened to Led Zepelin remains one of the single most overhyped rock bands. Maybe its the fact that i hvanet fucked like three whores to immigrant song back in the "golden years of 70s" but this music speaks so little to me. Pointlessly long transitions between parts of the song, Robert's annoying voice that gets put everywhere beacuse it's "another music instrument". Overall excluding like two songs this album is a snoozefest, maybe they should've left the blues alone.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Oct 11 2023

when i first saw the artist i expected some repetitive stereotypical overplayed 70s disco, unaware of the bee gees origins. Honestly with a little tweaking in production quality and bit more creative song structures they could've been a much more than just a band with those like three disco hits. 3 stars

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Oct 12 2023

amazing post-punk revival. From start to finish almost every song is enjoyable, dancey.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Oct 14 2023

good thrash metal classic album, aged very well and is still a banger.

Oct 16 2023

stereotypical gangsta-wannabe. It's not as catchy as early Eminem album, not as funky as 90s west coast rap (Snoop, DRE, Nate Dogg etc.). Overall im not suprised his career was relatively shortlived compared to mentioned rappers. This album and 50 Cent brings nothing new to the table, just rides the hype build from his predecessors. Just listen to DMX from this era...

Imagine by John Lennon
Oct 18 2023

its kinda hard with this artist separating the art from the prson that produced it. The album itself is meh, kinda funny that the two most popular songs are a communist manifesto and a song where John apologizes for "losing control", "feeling insecure". Ye he just "didn't want to hurt you". Anyway enough about Jom Lemon, everyone's favourite BEATle, this album is good as an elevator music in giant malls

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Oct 19 2023

pleasant alt dance, sometimes dream pop-ish. But unfortunately some songs (almost half of them) are a miss. It doesn't get better than the first song. Still 3 stars is deserved

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Oct 20 2023

kinda dissapointing consider how hyped this album is on sites like RYM, decent album with 2 catchy songs but nothing more than 3 stars

Smile by Brian Wilson
Oct 25 2023

genuine question, why was this album created? bro was part of one of the biggest 60s bands and then 4 decades later he's like "yo, let's re-release most of the songs from that era cuz i mostly wrote and i need more money. Plus here's some filler songs to add to the album so it's not only Beach Boys songs" Does this album really need to be on this list?

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Oct 29 2023

amazing late 80s grunge beginnings, one of the most influental albums of the genre.

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 02 2023

overhyped band honestly, besides bends the albums are mediocre depressive british gibberish

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 03 2023

i feel like the author of this album list lost his virginity while bruce sprinsteen was playing in the background. It's not bad but what's the point of having like 5 Bruce albums. He's not genuienly that interesting artist.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Nov 08 2023

pleasant early punk

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 09 2023
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 13 2023

everyone's favourite spanish soap opera band's most commercially succesful album is actually very enjoyable, the filler songs don't sound all that filler-y. Honestly it's still overhyped (the hype is immense in this album so there's no way the album can live up to it), but deserves to be among the better albums on this list.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Nov 15 2023

yeah brother, true music hell yeah. Anyway why was this album on this list. Why was any live album on this list? I regret listening to any of these songs, while they may be average/decent they sound like shit cuz it's recorded from a live concert with a shitty wallmart mic. "But you gotta feel the atmosphere to appreciate it, hurr durr", bro no. KISS (god i hate that band) tried to put out live album cuz nobody wanted to buy their studio-recorded albums cuz they weren't blackout drunk in the middle of crowd and realised that their music is garabage. Did Deep Purple think the same? IDK, either way this album blows

Music by Madonna
Nov 17 2023

almost 20 years since Madonna debuted, Madonna was basically replaced by autotuned AI version of herself. The only thing she is good at is keeping herself relevant in media with controversial bullshit. The only song the autotune wasn't as obvious was that cover of American Pie, but let's be honest. That song is equivalent to a war crime.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Nov 22 2023

decent album, I can see why it's so popular. Just not really my style. 3 stars

Calenture by The Triffids
Nov 24 2023

my jaw dropped, i regret not hearing of this band earlier, little bit digging into their history and finding that they've been basically cucked by aussie radio managers is saddening. These guys are great, no doubt about it
