morrissey might be a twat but he makes decent music

1-Star Albums (3)

All Ratings (132)

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Oct 03 2023

Big fan. Some really good lesser known songs. Remastered version songs weren't too special.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Oct 04 2023

Dank vibes, does drag on a bit

War by U2
Oct 05 2023

Interesting to compare with their more modern/popular stuff. Pretty neat but not my favorite

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 06 2023

listenable and fine

1984 by Van Halen
Oct 09 2023

singles unlistenable in 2023 middle tracks fine, some bangers i'm sure it was a 5 star for my dad but its gonna be a 2 today

Da Capo by Love
Oct 12 2023

dated and bad

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Oct 13 2023

Undeniable

The Score by Fugees
Oct 16 2023

I learned something new today

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 19 2023

Not my speed, maybe a different day

The Visitors by ABBA
Oct 20 2023

It's an ABBA album with none of the ABBA songs you know. As expected, I would go 2.5 if possible

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 23 2023

Not usually a jazz guy but I thoroughly enjoyed it

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Oct 24 2023

I love the yeah yeah yeahs and this album but the pacing is so strange and inconsistent I have trouble giving it a 5

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Oct 25 2023

It just didn't keep my attention. I'm sure it was very influential for proto punk but wasn't hitting for me

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Oct 26 2023

It was something, not super interesting. Glad to have some new music represented but this didn't feel especially groundbreaking. Probably would have been 2.5.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Oct 27 2023

just lovely, plenty of all time bangers

Arrival by ABBA
Oct 30 2023

Strange contrast between famous ABBA bangers and pretty mid songs. Opposite of how I usually feel about singles in older albums which is interesting.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Oct 31 2023

I might have grinder stockholm syndrome but I liked it

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Nov 01 2023

Dustin Music. Not as good as Metroid Prime soundtrack though

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 02 2023

I kinda just don't like his voice. songwriting is really good though.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Nov 03 2023

pretty dank, almost 4 stars, may return and give it another listen

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Nov 08 2023

I liked it, reminded me of ween

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Nov 09 2023

Im sure it sounded better in ‘97. Skits were fine. Needs a little bit more umph

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 14 2023

First half is all bangers, second half decent. Very soft 4

xx by The xx
Nov 15 2023

Soft 5 but just dank

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 17 2023

fart smelly but not that bad

Tapestry by Carole King
Nov 20 2023

Very good, didn't realize how many songs I know despite not recognizing the name. Only criticism is it all sounds the same

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Nov 21 2023

I can't really handle Bob Dylan, being generous with 3 here

Document by R.E.M.
Nov 23 2023

Good not great

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Nov 27 2023

It was interesting and strange

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Nov 28 2023

Incredibly impressive live performance, I was not in the mood for it though. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

The Coral by The Coral
Nov 30 2023

Interesting and pretty good

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Dec 01 2023

Actually interesting seemed to change pace and genre a lot

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Dec 07 2023

She's real good. Some slow parts on the album but overall nice

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Dec 08 2023

Fart smelly and sad but I thought it was pretty decent. Not sure where the obsessions with him comes from

Dog Man Star by Suede
Dec 14 2023

I don't even know man, I listened to it, but did I even care? I don't know.

The Band by The Band
Dec 18 2023

excellent. close to a 4 though

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Dec 19 2023

Liked it a lot. Sounds kinda like bowie, looks to have influenced ratatat based on the album cover, only knew get it on before this.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Dec 20 2023

morrissey might be a twat but he makes decent music

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 21 2023

Same as last time, can't stand his voice. Reminds me how I feel about Bob Dylan. Not a terrible album though.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Dec 29 2023

Decent but long

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jan 04 2024

Maybe I'm amazed takes this from almost a 2 to almost a 4.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 08 2024

Really good, surprised I'd never heard of him. Giving it a 4 because even though I listened to it twice through I still had to remind myself what it sounded like 3 days later. Missing the X factor I suppose.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jan 10 2024

Couple good songs. Overall none of the bangers. Just alright

Hms Fable by Shack
Jan 12 2024

Pretty interesting story, neat album but not my favorite. Less good than the kooks

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 16 2024

It's got the vibe

Microshift by Hookworms
Jan 18 2024

Pretty solid but didn't really grab my attention too much. Might need another listen later

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 22 2024

My favorite Dan album and an all time classic

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 24 2024

If I really pay attention, I can start to see why people enjoy it so much. But for casual listening, I don't enjoy it much at all.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jan 25 2024

Budget beatles type. Not very interesting just standard oldie tunes

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Jan 26 2024

2 because it was rad how it was made and the creativity but it’s just weird and not in such a good way for me

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 31 2024

More Dan! Not as good as the main sequence albums though. Seems to incorporate a little bit more jazz? Enjoyable

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 01 2024

Started off slow, grew to enjoy it by the end. Considerations for revisiting

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 02 2024

Super influential, bangs

Boston by Boston
Feb 05 2024

No bad songs, just a vibe. Thought it was too overplayed but listened to it anyways and it still works.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Feb 06 2024

I think New Order is better. Not sure where all the hype comes from around the album. It was pretty good but not amazing.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Feb 07 2024

Gonna be honest, did not finish. I'm sure it has some value for a certain trip-hop vibe but it wasn't resonating for me

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Feb 08 2024

Frank's got a thing and he sticks with it. Thankfully that style is enjoyable, but he doesn't really switch it up too often. Borderline 4 but gets a 3 because it wasn't interesting enough.

Feb 22 2024

Really unique style, didn't like it at first but I can see why it's popular. Respect to the dude

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Mar 05 2024

Very good, I can see why it was such a movement back in the day.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Mar 06 2024

Third dan album in my first 100. Not complaining, it's the third 5 star.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Mar 07 2024

Excellent stones album another of my favs

Queen II by Queen
Mar 08 2024

Not what people usually think of when they think of Queen. Haven't gone for it in a while but I did enjoy this listen. Probably cracks top 10 Queen albums.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 11 2024

Surprisingly the first time I've listened to the whole thing I think. Didn't really resonate as much for me as a kid as similar groups, I think it would easily be a 5 with some nostalgia factor. I don't see running it every day in 2024 though.

Is This It by The Strokes
Mar 12 2024

simply iconic, enjoyed listening to british version over US this time even though it's just one track.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Apr 01 2024

sleepy but nice as usual

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 30 2024

Johnny is really good live

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
May 02 2024

Was wondering why only Tiny Dancer and Levon had any amount of plays, they are indeed far and away the best songs on the album. Levon #1 of course.

Murmur by R.E.M.
May 03 2024

I'm sure it was revolutionary but doesn't really stand up even to other REM albums in my opinion, kinda dragging

Moving Pictures by Rush
May 14 2024

Fantastic album despite that most of the songs are played out for me. One of my first ever concerts. Their best work along with permanent waves.

Ctrl by SZA
May 16 2024

Wasn't feeling it today don't know why. I didn't know she was so extremely popular though that's cool

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
May 31 2024

It was alright, kinda weird and slow, I remember enjoying animal collective more

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jun 03 2024

Mom had this on repeat as I was a kid. Just full of bangers. Always will have a soft spot from me.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 11 2024

Titular track was ass. Rest of it was pretty OK but not as good as self titled or queen is dead.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jun 17 2024

Pretty soft 4, only criticism is that it's pretty same-same all the way through. But enjoyable

Copper Blue by Sugar
Jun 19 2024

Forgettable but just fine

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 24 2024

Didn't realize how kinda jam-bandy they got. Whole album plays together pretty well, sounds a little dated but enjoyable as always.

White Light by Gene Clark
Jun 26 2024

Made it all the way through which is good for his type of music. Pretty nice.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Jul 03 2024

It's Dad Rock but it's actually just a really solid album.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jul 23 2024

Seems like an even more dated Nick Drake. Pretty solid but just a little thin.

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jul 26 2024

Goes hard af, not necessarily my cuppa tea but can't deny he's got style
