Popular Reviews

Guero by Beck

This album has a lot of ideas that I usually really like, but, somehow, the way that Beck has combined these ideas has resulted in an end product that I can't stand in any way.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk

Never thought I'd ever listen to a 22 minute song that essentially just says "We are driving on the Autobahn".

1-Star Albums (8)

All Ratings (185)

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 23 2023

It was pretty good, and then it just kept going.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 25 2023

Pretty groovy and cool. Definitely a big fan, and a good introduction to Massive Attack

Dummy by Portishead
Aug 28 2023

Good, but I definitely prefer the triphop we heard yesterday

The Bends by Radiohead
Aug 29 2023

This one was pretty darn cool

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 30 2023

I liked this a whole lot better back than I thought I would

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Aug 31 2023

It's kinda fun. Would probably get a better rating if I listened to it more closely

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Sep 01 2023

The parts I listened to were pretty good, but I found myself regularly not paying any attention to it. This might just be a side-effect of listening while focusing on work, but that's how I listened to it.

The Cars by The Cars
Sep 04 2023

Quite fun

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 05 2023

I'm just happy it's over

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Sep 06 2023

This is incredibly fun and exciting

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 07 2023

Music is such a beautiful concept that encompasses so many different types of sound

Timeless by Goldie
Sep 08 2023

Decent background music, but I wouldn't sit around and actively focus on it

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Sep 11 2023

Big fan of gumbo, although I am a sucker for some good jambalaya

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Sep 13 2023

My main takeaway from this experiment is that I really like 90's music.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Sep 14 2023

This is pretty good. I think it would be much better if I paid attention to the words, but it seems that I am incapable of this feat.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Sep 15 2023

This was okay. I liked it, but I didn't particularly pay too much attention to it.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Sep 18 2023

I thought it was okay and I was going to complain about it being too long, but then I listened to the drum solo.

In Utero by Nirvana
Sep 19 2023

I like me some Dave Grohl.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Sep 20 2023

This isn't my favorite, and the album taking about 7 years to finish didn't help. Definitely thought I'd enjoy it more.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 21 2023

I liked this album a lot better when Spotify was down.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Sep 22 2023

This one was pretty cool.

Low by David Bowie
Sep 25 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skfQZLlDJ1w

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 26 2023

Turns out I enjoy CCR.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Sep 27 2023

Pretty darn cool.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Sep 29 2023

This was pretty good and pretty fun. I don't think I've ever heard Arcade Fire before. Bonus point because this felt like an album rather than a bunch of songs tossed together.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 02 2023

I'd fight some foos.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Oct 03 2023

It says a lot about a band when the most popular song sounds nothing like the rest of their work. In other news, here's Creep.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Oct 05 2023

There were some parts of this that I really liked, and then there were some weird parts.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 09 2023

I think I liked Bob Dylan better.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 10 2023

Yeah, this was pretty good. Although I thought it was going to be quite different based on the intro.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Oct 16 2023

I get the feeling these fellows know how to party. Way better than PJ Harvey.

Guero by Beck
Oct 17 2023

This album has a lot of ideas that I usually really like, but, somehow, the way that Beck has combined these ideas has resulted in an end product that I can't stand in any way.

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 18 2023

Pretty decent.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Oct 19 2023

Definitive coffee shop music.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Oct 20 2023

It's okay. I like some of the weird riffs, but honestly didn't pay attention to most of it.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Oct 24 2023

This was pretty fun. It really made you feel like Led Zeppelin III

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 25 2023

Insert something about space.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Oct 26 2023

It's definitely something.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Oct 27 2023

It's fine

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Nov 01 2023

Quite notorious.

War by U2
Nov 02 2023

I liked the trumpet in Red Light.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Nov 07 2023

The rest of the music isn't nearly good enough to get over the voice.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 08 2023

Not my vibe.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Nov 09 2023

I vibed with this significantly more than I thought I would.

Arrival by ABBA
Nov 10 2023

You already know.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Nov 13 2023

This album really makes you feel like you have maggot brain.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Nov 14 2023

Sets the mood very well, and Ella Fitzgerald's voice is beautiful.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 15 2023

It's fine. It has some stuff that I usually like, but it's much too repetitive.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 17 2023

I'm not particularly a fan of his voice, and the rest of the music wasn't good enough to make up for it.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Nov 21 2023

It didn't quite catch me, but I think I might would enjoy this more if I listened to it again.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Nov 22 2023

I have no idea what's happening, but I'm loving it.

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 24 2023

Incredibly fun, and I really liked the drums.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Nov 28 2023

Eh, it's okay. I think this might get a 3 or even a 4 if I were in the mood to listen to this, but I also think I'd very rarely be in the mood to listen to this.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Nov 30 2023

I liked the sound, but I didn't particularly enjoy any song.

Boston by Boston
Dec 01 2023

I think I'm a Boston fan now.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Dec 05 2023

I've decided I don't like this style of English 80s synth-heavy pop very much.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 07 2023

I liked some songs, but I really didn't like others (Scorpio).

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Dec 08 2023

I hadn't heard of The Vines before listening to this, and that's a shame

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Dec 11 2023

I've probably listened to a dozen or two songs that were obviously in the style of Beastie Boys, but I don't think I've ever actually listened to Beastie Boys.

Homework by Daft Punk
Dec 12 2023

I like it, but every song feels repetitive. Unlike some of the other albums I've rated, this might be especially good for listening while working, but unfortunately I wasn't working today.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Dec 13 2023

This was pretty good! I especially liked the "Who Do You Love" suite.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Dec 14 2023

Those were definitely some sounds.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Dec 15 2023

I mean, it's Beyoncé

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 18 2023

I'm surprised that I didn't hate this as much as I thought I would.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 19 2023

I wasn't feeling this and was going to give it a 2, but "We Walk" was good enough to bump this up to a 3.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 20 2023

Never heard of him before, but I'm now a big fan.

Fun House by The Stooges
Dec 21 2023

Wasn't my favorite, but gets a bonus point for being nice and short.

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 22 2023

I am officially not a fan of The Doors.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 25 2023

Really incredibly goofy, but I'm a fan of it.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Dec 27 2023

Really fun music that you could definitely dance to. However, minus 1 point for essentially being the same song listed 12 times.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Dec 28 2023

I can like some angry music, but this very much feels angry for the sake of being angry. I liked the beginning, but it felt grating by the end.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Dec 29 2023

I was going to rate this lower because it sounds like generic bluesy-rock music, but it only sounds generic because of all of the artists that have copied the style of The Rolling Stones. Still good music.

Tommy by The Who
Jan 03 2024

Beautiful story, and wonderful music. Love an album that feels like a piece of art rather than a bunch of songs, and this definitely delivers

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jan 04 2024

This was decent. It had parts that I enjoyed, but I didn't quite get into it like I would have liked.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 05 2024

Quite a blast, and nice and short.

Jan 09 2024

I typically don't enjoy live albums, but in Sam Cooke is quite energetic, and it makes this quite enjoyable.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jan 10 2024

Was pretty decent. This rating would vary based on the mood I was in.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 11 2024

Good sad boi music.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 15 2024

She's quite good. That's all I have to say.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jan 16 2024

Somewhat good, but also quite chaotic.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Jan 17 2024

It's fine. I think the energy of chaos would be excellent live, if you're into that sort of thing, but it was a lot less exciting listening to it.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jan 18 2024

The central plot was quite strange, but I still had a great time.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Jan 22 2024

Quite fun with a lot of variety

On The Beach by Neil Young
Jan 23 2024

Pretty solid. I think that if I were to sit down and completely focus on it, I would rate it higher.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jan 24 2024

It's okay, but it didn't quite hook me.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 29 2024

It's okay. All I could think about was listening to other Fleetwood Mac

Doolittle by Pixies
Jan 31 2024

It's okay, but I didn't think it was anything particularly special.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 01 2024

Eh.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Feb 02 2024

It was pretty fun, but there were definitely some moments I didn't enjoy as much.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 05 2024

I thought it was pretty good when I listened to it, but I've completely forgotten it now by review time.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Feb 06 2024

Quite good, and I appreciate that it seems to tell a story.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Feb 07 2024

It was pretty good, but it didn't keep my interest.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Feb 08 2024

It's okay, but I'm not crazy about it.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 09 2024

It was decent and I liked the variety, but it did not hold my attention.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 13 2024

All over the place, but quite a good time.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Feb 14 2024

Pretty solid album, definitely one that works as an album

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Feb 16 2024

I couldn't help but bob my head for most of this album.

Be by Common
Feb 19 2024

I had never heard of any of these songs previously, but I loved every second of this album.

Odelay by Beck
Feb 22 2024

I am decidedly not a Beck fan.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Feb 23 2024

Never thought I'd ever listen to a 22 minute song that essentially just says "We are driving on the Autobahn".

Live At Leeds by The Who
Feb 26 2024

This didn't get me quite as much as the other stuff from The Who I've listened to. Maybe because it's live?

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Feb 27 2024

I like Johnny Cash, but I don't like live albums.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Feb 28 2024

Generic 90s music. 2/5

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Mar 01 2024

Not sure what I listened to, but I think I liked it?

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 04 2024

Pretty good, especially for me not knowing the language.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Mar 05 2024

Had some good moments.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 06 2024

It's Michael Jackson. Of course it's good.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Mar 07 2024

Pretty solid.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Mar 08 2024

Quite British

London Calling by The Clash
Mar 11 2024

It's good, but much too long.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Mar 12 2024

I think he just played the same 30 seconds on loop for an hour.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 13 2024

Quite good, but much too long.

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 14 2024

It's okay, but it's also nice and short.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 15 2024

Turns out I kinda like Coldplay.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 18 2024

Pretty fun.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Mar 19 2024

This really makes you feel like Ágætis Byrjun.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 20 2024

Had me bouncing.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Mar 22 2024

This reminded me of Breaking Bad, and I quite like Breaking Bad.

Mar 29 2024

Liked it better than I thought I would.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Apr 03 2024

Pretty solid.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 04 2024

Boppin'.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 05 2024

Rumor has it she is still calling a cab to this very day.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Apr 08 2024

I listened to this 4 times in a row if that means anything.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 09 2024

Was fun, but all over the place.

Cut by The Slits
Apr 10 2024

Well, that was definitely something.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Apr 11 2024

It's Michael Jackson.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Apr 12 2024

It was okay, but then it kept going and kept going.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Apr 16 2024

Really makes you feel like you're starting a riot.

Apr 17 2024

It's okay. I felt like the whole first half of the album was missing something.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Apr 19 2024

It was okay. Some good moments, and some bad moments.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 29 2024

Pretty solid, but a little goofy

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
May 02 2024

A hootin' and a hollerin' time.

Parklife by Blur
May 03 2024

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I guess it averages out to 3/5?

Traffic by Traffic
May 09 2024

Eh.
