Popular Reviews

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan

Few nice hits like Metal, but many songs are quite dull and meaningless

1-Star Albums (1)

All Ratings (110)

Murmur by R.E.M.
Aug 29 2022
The Cars by The Cars
Aug 30 2022

Easy-listening garage rock with some noisy guitars and sometimes futuristic touch

The Yes Album by Yes
Aug 31 2022

Prog rock with experimental excursions towards jazzy and Caribbean sounds, which is overall lightfooted and positive.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 05 2022

Dank and lonely. Pyramid song is pure beauty!

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Sep 06 2022

Marching through the night. Bit emo but powerful!

Sep 08 2022

Quite psychedelic, for some songs a bit too alienated. Cindy Tells Me is a great hit!

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Sep 09 2022

Lightfooted, positive and interesting instruments like panflutes and violins. Quite some songs that do very little to me though.

Debut by Björk
Sep 12 2022

Don't stick your dick in crazy. Somehow I'm still interested in her other albums

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Sep 15 2022

Often too much distortion, would be nice to hear some alternation with crisp and clear parts. 'new you' is nice.

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 16 2022

Big surprise from "Loser" artist, I really liked the downtempo chill vibes!

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 04 2022
xx by The xx
Jun 05 2023
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 14 2023
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 18 2023
Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 21 2023

Complex album that is by far not the best, but it has good experimental songs that differ from the other albums.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Aug 22 2023

Creepy and obscure, while beautiful. Novocaine for the Soul is epic!

#1 Record by Big Star
Aug 23 2023

Familiar sounds, chill album and even includes some noisier rock songs!

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Aug 25 2023

Carefree easy-listening polyphonic acoustics, nice!

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Aug 28 2023

The funk doesn’t trigger me to move. It’s too slow and there’s too much MC’ing.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Aug 30 2023

Good stuff. Amazing build-up in Sailor’s life and recognized sampling of Autopsy in ‘Groove Armada - Remember’

Microshift by Hookworms
Aug 31 2023

Don’t understand why this would be a top album, but has nice electronic beats!

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Sep 01 2023

Most of the album is somewhat languishing music to which I'm not in the mood. History is an amazing song though!

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 04 2023

Renowned vocalist, but I just can't stand her voice for too long. I'm more into her 'back to black' album.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Sep 05 2023

Leonard's deep dark voice doesn't make me horny.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Sep 07 2023

Still better than Captain Beefheart. Maybe if I drink a full bottle of whisky I will like it...

Sep 12 2023

Showman! Swingy and varied repertoire. Don’t like to listen to old recordings in general, but can imagine this as a 5* when being there.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Sep 14 2023

Few nice hits like Metal, but many songs are quite dull and meaningless

Green by R.E.M.
Sep 18 2023

Again some surprisingly good songs! R.E.M. has a lot to offer!

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 20 2023

The same African mumbling with instrumental improv throughout the album. It sounds like it has been recorded in one go without preparation (would be cool if it really was though).

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Sep 26 2023

First hit is awesome! Although I like the noisy alt rock sound, rest of the album is too much of the same.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Sep 27 2023

Not my type of music, but cannot dislike this goddess of soul

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Sep 28 2023

Cleanses the mind after a busy work day, love it!

Sep 29 2023

Really makes me interested in the scenes matching with the soundtracks. Some of the songs really need the support of scenes instead of listening on its own.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 03 2023

Half of the album is like a podcast, but it has good songs and a lot of variety.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Oct 04 2023

Awesome classic psychedelic vibes!

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 05 2023

Smooth sailing, not what I usually listen to but this is great!

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Oct 09 2023

Songs are well-composed and tiny dancer remains a great song. The artist/album is very theatrical and this doesn’t really trigger me for some reason.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Oct 10 2023

Not their best album, but great album nonetheless!

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Oct 11 2023

Quiet chill music, sometimes getting very country. Fine to listen to.

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 12 2023

Some songs are boring and some even annoying.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Oct 13 2023

Happy-listening folk/country/psychedelic varied rock album. Nice discovery!

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Oct 17 2023

Great artist, great but not their best album.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Oct 19 2023

Too long and too many bullshit remixes

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Oct 20 2023

Might be nice as background sounds for some scary videogame, but that’s it.

Oct 25 2023

Some of their greatest hits on the album, nice!

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Oct 27 2023

Unfamiliar with the album, but always nice to listen to Neil Young. Relaxing songs transitioning into louder rock after Powderfinger

S&M by Metallica
Oct 31 2023

Must’ve been an epic performance and very original. It’s not something I’d want to listen to regularly though.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Nov 01 2023

African nasal mumbling, not my thing

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Nov 02 2023

Too sweet and soft for my likings. Great and beautiful singer of course.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 07 2023

Classic hardrock with epic guitars and vocals!

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Nov 08 2023

A bunch of positive energy, uplifting and energizing! 4.5*

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 09 2023

Music that makes you want to crawl up and die. Amazing

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Nov 10 2023

Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool

21 by Adele
Nov 14 2023

Great singer, bit too whiny although some great songs.

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Nov 15 2023

Sometimes, I get Captain Beefheart vibes... However, this can actually be called music and does have nice elements here and there

Suede by Suede
Nov 17 2023

Don't like his style of singing. Awesome guitars in 'the drowners'!

Who's Next by The Who
Nov 20 2023

Some classic hits and good classic rock, but am not overly enthusiastic

Pump by Aerosmith
Nov 22 2023
Play by Moby
Dec 15 2023

Great atmosphere
