Popular Reviews

Ys by Joanna Newsom

Forget the rack, the Scavenger's Daughter and the manacles if the tower of London had this they would have had way better success torturing people. She can play but her voice makes me want to confess to heresy.

Faith by George Michael

Have not heard this for a long time. My Mom had this album when if first came out and was obsessed with this dude. After his super sweet coming out party my mom was in shock. The rest of us were like yeah, that checks out. Later, I would torment her with Limp Bizkit's version of faith while reminding her how bad her gaydar was. Ahh good times. Anyway, I actually don't mind the album. Some of the lyrics are pushing the boundaries of creepy but over all decent listen.

So by Peter Gabriel

Some things should stay in the 80s.

All Ratings (769)

Sep 20 2023

Not a huge fan. Never have cared for Techno music. I got through the album but won't be listening again.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Sep 21 2023

Pretty stellar, I did not give them the credit they deserved in the past.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Sep 22 2023

Good lord what in the Sam hell is this guy talking about. You will need a copy of the lyrics, google, and an hour to break down each song. Not for this kid.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Sep 25 2023

Decent album to play in the background. The forced Jamaican accent in some of the songs is strange considering they are three white boys from the UK.

Metallica by Metallica
Sep 26 2023

Love, Love, Love it.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Sep 27 2023

Bought this album when it came out. I like it quite a bit, I would say I like it better these days than when it came out.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Sep 28 2023

Laughably terrible. Seriously, I was laughing out loud about how terrible every song was.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Oct 03 2023

Pretty good, I enjoyed it.

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 04 2023

Its ok. Some of the guitar riffs were pretty good but overall not really my style.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 05 2023

A few really stellar songs and a lot that sound alike. Decent album overall though.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Oct 06 2023

Not my style, but worth a listen once.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Oct 10 2023

Wanted to like it but it's just not for me.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Oct 11 2023

Good god that was horrible.

Oct 13 2023

Might be good to put on if you are having trouble going to sleep. Other than that no thanks.

The Clash by The Clash
Oct 19 2023

Have not listened to much punk rock but the album is decent. Would listen to again.

Dare! by The Human League
Oct 20 2023

Somethings need to stay in the 80's.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Oct 23 2023

Meh, the beats were pretty good but I need some actual lyrics.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Oct 24 2023

Not bad, never listened much to Dylan but I plan on diving deeper.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Oct 25 2023

The music is good, but I need words.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Oct 26 2023

The dogs randomly barking in the background were arguably the best part.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Oct 30 2023

Couple good songs, but man the other ones are pretty horrible. Notably his voice on the first two songs about made me want to kick a puppy.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Oct 31 2023

Much better than the last Cohen album I was subjected to but still just OK.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Nov 02 2023

Hell yeah! Had to drag my vinyl copy out of the rack for today. The album on a whole is pretty damn good.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Nov 03 2023

What in the actual F@#$. I am so confused. Much of the content is on serious subjects but the music is so random and so horrible that I cant take it serious if tried. I only know that if there is "concept album" in the description I need to be worried.

S&M by Metallica
Nov 06 2023

So awesome!

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 07 2023

I can appreciate the influences for later artists and a I enjoyed a few of the songs but overall it's not really my style.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Nov 09 2023

Worth a listen once for the acoustic guitar but other than that its a no for me.

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 13 2023

Listened to the two big songs on the album quite a bit but I have never heard the album in its entirety till now. Pretty decent.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Nov 14 2023

There is Bittersweet Symphony followed by a whole bunch of songs that are pretty forgettable. The only thing of note after the first track is the hidden track at the end. Which is a strange mix of chimes and crying baby that just leaves me with more questions. Mainly why?

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 23 2023

Guitar town is one of my favorite songs ever. Hillbilly highway is stellar. I wanted one or two more great songs on this album and I would go five stars. The other songs are decent but not anywhere near the title track. Still, solid album.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 24 2023

Only heard the one song before this. Pretty stellar album really. Have another artist I need to look in to.

Harvest by Neil Young
Nov 28 2023

It's ok.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Nov 29 2023

Pretty stellar album for sure. Even if they are all covers.

Slayed? by Slade
Nov 30 2023

Meh, it's ok.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Dec 04 2023

It's ok. really slow. Good music to chill to.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Dec 05 2023

Pretty stellar, still my favorite of all the west coast gangster albums.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Dec 06 2023

It's ok. Not quite my style but I see why it did well at the time it was released.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Dec 07 2023

This album sounds like an old man with no voice trying to stay relevant and failing miserably. Seriously, why is this on this list?

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Dec 08 2023

Oh lord this guy again!?! Third album of his I have got. Still don't like his voice, still don't like his sound, still have no idea what the hell he is talking about.

Dec 12 2023

Starts out STRONG then tapers a bit but sill pretty damn good overall.

The La's by The La's
Dec 13 2023

Not really my style. Kind of boring to me.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Dec 14 2023

Dude can play a guitar for sure. I like his sound but I wish I spoke all the languages he does.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Dec 19 2023

Not really my style but worth a listen.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Dec 22 2023

It's okay. Lead singer's voice kind of drives me nuts after a while.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Dec 27 2023

Where do they find this crap?!

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 01 2024

Pretty damn good.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jan 03 2024

Sounds like someone gave your drunk aunt who thinks she is a cougar a microphone.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 04 2024
Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 09 2024

Its interesting for sure. The style starts to annoy me after a while though.

Its not bad. Second U2 album I have got and it seems they start out strong then just drag on to the finish.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Jan 12 2024

Not a fan. Possibly drugs would help me enjoy it but not going to happen sober.

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jan 18 2024

Pretty decent. I remember this album as a kid. The drum solo blew my mind at that age.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Jan 19 2024

Cause shotgun bullets are bad for your health!

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jan 22 2024

One of my favorites. Bought this album and lost it like three times. Finally bought it on vinyl a year ago hopefully for the last time.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Jan 24 2024

Third Neal Young album on this journey. Third terrible album. The only highlight here was "Roll another number" the hilarious attempt at an outlaw country song.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 25 2024

Pass

I’m a Lonesome Fugitive by Merle Haggard
Jan 26 2024

I have always loved Merle. I have not heard this album but it was refreshing to hear some deep cuts not just his songs you hear all the time.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jan 31 2024

Music is good, voice is terrible.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Feb 06 2024

Pretty damn good!

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Feb 07 2024

I absolutely appreciate her humanitarian efforts but her music is not my style.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Feb 09 2024

It was interesting but not really my style.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 15 2024

Pretty forgettable for me really. I listened to the album while I worked and basically did not come to an opinion good or bad. Nothing really stood out to me.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Feb 21 2024

Pretty stellar for sure. I had not heard of her before but she will be in my rotation for sure.

Feb 29 2024

Much of it sounds like background music for the Discovery Channel show How Its Made.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Mar 07 2024

Its fine I guess. Still to pop for me but it was better than the N'Sync stuff. However being a straight male I am pretty sure I am not the target audience.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 11 2024

Not bad. First time listing all way through.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Mar 14 2024

I got through a few songs but I just did not have the patience to listen to the whole thing today. Not the worst music I have heard on this list but not far off.

Blur by Blur
Mar 19 2024
Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 25 2024
Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Mar 26 2024

Decent album. Unreal the amount of sampling later hip hop artists took from this album.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Mar 27 2024

It was OK. Never a big fan like some of my friends. I still am not I guess.

21 by Adele
Mar 28 2024

Pretty good for sure. Never listened to her much before but absolutely worth a listen. Wanted one or more songs on the album that I liked as much as rolling in the deep to get 4 stars from me. Need a 3.5 stars option.

The Man Who by Travis
Mar 29 2024

Okay background music I guess but all and all pretty boring. The most exciting thing was the hidden track but its not even worth all the blank noise to get to it.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 01 2024

Some things should stay in the 80s.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Apr 02 2024

I have not heard the whole album in a while. I think I still have the CD somewhere. Decent album but not as big of a fan of his early stuff as I was. Still I believe it's worthy of being included on this list.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Apr 03 2024

Starts out strong and then fades really really quickly.

Apr 04 2024

Decent beats but lyrics are disjointed on many of the songs. She has a great voice when she does sing. Couple good songs but not enough for me.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Apr 10 2024

Decent album. I did not have a standout song but all worth a listen for sure. Wish we could do half stars I would be a 3.5.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 11 2024

UGHHH, another one!?! How many of this creep's albums are on this damn list? All are garbage. This one is just 80's tinted garbage amassing to the masterpiece of a dumpster fire that is the song "Jazz Police".

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Apr 12 2024

No more for me thanks.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Apr 15 2024

It's decent. I know I would probably like it better if I spent some more time analyzing the lyrics but lets be real that's to much like homework for me right now.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Apr 18 2024

It's okay just not really my style.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 23 2024
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 25 2024

A couple songs are okay but the rest are just annoying.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
May 01 2024

Forget the rack, the Scavenger's Daughter and the manacles if the tower of London had this they would have had way better success torturing people. She can play but her voice makes me want to confess to heresy.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
May 02 2024

Its okay, he is trying to be funny at times but just comes across kind of strange.

Synchronicity by The Police
May 07 2024

First time hearing the entire album. The first of the album was rough. It got better towards the end but I really did not like it as much as I though I would.

The Slider by T. Rex
May 09 2024

Not bad, some songs of theirs I had not listened to much.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 13 2024
Smash by The Offspring
May 14 2024
Hysteria by Def Leppard
May 15 2024

Solid album for sure definitely worth a listen. Side note, want to annoy a Def Leppard fan? Ask them what has 9 arms and sucks.

May 22 2024

Honestly it's nowhere near as strange as I expected from the album cover. Nothing real special and a bit discombobulated but a decent listen for sure.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
May 30 2024

No thanks

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 10 2024

It's okay just not really my style.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jun 11 2024
Illmatic by Nas
Jun 17 2024

Pretty good.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jun 20 2024

I feel like even in 67 this album seemed dated.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jun 24 2024
Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jun 26 2024

Honestly not sure what to think. Definitely different than what I am used to. But some good songs for sure. Might have to give this one another listen down the road.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Jul 03 2024
Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jul 04 2024

Nothing gets you going in the morning like listening to multiple songs about psychos murdering people.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jul 05 2024

Admittedly I did not give it a fair shake and only listened to a couple songs. However, this is the fourth of July and I want some Lee Greenwood damnit.

Dookie by Green Day
Sep 24 2024
Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 03 2024

Interesting, some of it I like. Especially the music but his voice and delivery is to rough for this kid.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Oct 07 2024
Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Oct 18 2024

Pretty good if you want a woman yelling nonsense in your ear for 41 minutes.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Nov 01 2024

Great voice, and unique sound. Not quite my style but worth the listen this morning.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 27 2024
Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Dec 04 2024

Kind of boring. Would be good background noise to fall asleep to. However, the vocals seem intentionally turned down making them hard to hear. They might just be straight subliminal mind control messages.

Imagine by John Lennon
Dec 13 2024

Starts out about as strong as you can then tapers immediately.

Feb 20 2025

Ugh, more weird random music that I bet no one, even in the UK, remembers.

Faith by George Michael
Feb 21 2025

Have not heard this for a long time. My Mom had this album when if first came out and was obsessed with this dude. After his super sweet coming out party my mom was in shock. The rest of us were like yeah, that checks out. Later, I would torment her with Limp Bizkit's version of faith while reminding her how bad her gaydar was. Ahh good times.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Mar 13 2025
Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Mar 14 2025

Decent song to start then a massive downhill slide. Little bit of a recovery towards the end but overall a miss for me.

Guero by Beck
Mar 17 2025
Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Apr 02 2025

Sounds like background music for a 90's computer hacker movie. Its not bad, just nothing I would listen to if it weren't for this list.

War by U2
Apr 14 2025
At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 15 2025

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Jul 25 2025
Jul 31 2025

I knew her name but never really listened much to her. Honestly I thought I would like her better and know some of the songs since she was a popular artist. I did not know any of the songs and just did not really feel anything for the whole album.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Aug 08 2025

The music isn't bad but his voice and style of delivery drove me nuts.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Aug 15 2025

Whatever the hell that was, I think I am good never hearing it again.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Sep 01 2025

Might have just been me but I had trouble finding this particular album in one spot so I just listened to his music for about an hour. Let me tell you he has a LOT of music out there to sample from. It really is impressive the volume of music he put out. Looking at his discography on Spotify it seems like he put out around 10 albums a year for decades. I appreciate the work effort but the music is not my style. Obviously I don't know what any of the lyrics mean which will always hamper my score. All in all it was okay.

Oct 14 2025

Not any better than the last time I was subjected to this torture.

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 16 2025

I listened to it while I did my morning reports and nothing stood out to me at all. In fact I don't remember any of it. it wasn't good it wasn't bad. I guess I am neutral to it.
