Popular Reviews

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello

Jesus, I still have one more Elvis Costello album to listen to?! I bet I could name 1001 artists who deserve an album on this list but didn't get one because we just HAD to have 8 billion shitty Costello albums on the list.

S&M by Metallica

I swear to God if I get one more Metallica album in a row I'm going to find a way to bring back Napster just to spite them.

Connected by Stereo MC's

SEE???? Electronic music CAN be good! All it has to do is not be the same looping beat for 12 minutes to be good.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton

You gave this album a low rating because Eric Clapton is an anti-lockdown, anti-vaxx, racist piece of shit. I gave this album a low rating because Clapton just isn't that great of an artist when he's not backed by a great band like Cream or the Yardbirds (but also because he's an anti-lockdown, anti-vaxx, racist piece of shit.)

Space Ritual by Hawkwind

If you are under some very, VERY, heavy drugs you might get something out of this? But as someone who does not do drugs, this feels like a waste of 2 hours of my life.
