Popular Reviews

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention

Who Knows Where the Time Goes is one of the most beautiful songs in existence. None of the rest of the album really stands out.

1-Star Albums (41)

All Ratings (520)

Abbey Road by Beatles
Oct 06 2023

Starting off with what will probably be the best album of the entire list.

S&M by Metallica
Oct 16 2023

With very few exceptions (Bleeding Me being one), the orchestra make the songs worse. James' singing in Master of Puppets is terrible.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Oct 19 2023

Album started off strong but the quality quickly faded.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Oct 20 2023

Always loud, never interesting. Thankfully short.

Odelay by Beck
Oct 23 2023

This is the higher end of a three.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Oct 24 2023

Another album where the one famous song isn't best

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Oct 25 2023

Never-ending. Who thought a double album for a singles-oriented girl group was a good idea?

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Oct 30 2023

All My Friends is an amazing song. Still not sure if I really like Sounds of Silver or if it's annoying. Rest of the album is forgettable.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Nov 01 2023

Another boring 60s album from a band I've never heard of.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 06 2023

Very repetitive.

Ramones by Ramones
Nov 07 2023

So many of the songs sound the same. But they're all lovely.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Nov 13 2023

Hadn't listened to this in 10 years. Was enjoying the first few tracks before I remembered that I don't listen to AC/DC because all their songs sound the same and are about the same things. Piss off/10.

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 15 2023

Fun instrumentation but nobody in the band can sing.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Nov 17 2023

More iconic songs than I expected.

1984 by Van Halen
Nov 20 2023
Boston by Boston
Nov 28 2023
Nov 30 2023

Why is this album included. Didn't chart, not popular, not good. No signs of being a cult classic.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Dec 01 2023

Weird mix of iconic and filler.

Tago Mago by Can
Dec 07 2023

I hadn't listened to this album in years.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Dec 14 2023

Why is this included?

Debut by Björk
Dec 19 2023
War by U2
Dec 25 2023

Two great songs and a bunch of filler.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 01 2024

Starts off extremely strong but side two drags so much.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jan 10 2024
Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 15 2024
Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet

D by White Denim
Feb 14 2024
Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 19 2024

Sara is a beautiful song.

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 04 2024

I do not like The Who.

American Idiot by Green Day
Mar 11 2024

Why does this album have two 10-minute songs?

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Mar 15 2024

Boring trance

Mar 19 2024

Oasis' second best album. There's actually a lot of filler in this, listening back again (Hello, Cast No Shadow). The Swamp Song is a stupid idea.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 20 2024

Almost a 4.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Mar 27 2024

Style is an excellent song, Blank Space is cool, Shake It Off is alright. Everything else is filler.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Mar 29 2024

Nice but nothing memorable

Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 10 2024
Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Apr 18 2024

Their second last good album.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 23 2024
The Next Day by David Bowie

Absurd that this is included.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 15 2024
Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Aug 16 2024

Very odd choice. I would have this as the 5th best Crimson album.

Play by Moby
Aug 19 2024
Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Aug 21 2024

Gets a star for being so short.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Aug 26 2024

Brilliant British dance album of the month.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 04 2024
Dummy by Portishead
Sep 06 2024
Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Sep 16 2024

I really dislike Robert Plant's voice. Stairway is amazing but most of the rest of the album is a slog. I'm happy that I recognised Sandy Denny immediately.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Sep 26 2024
En-Tact by The Shamen

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Nov 13 2024
McCartney by Paul McCartney
Nov 14 2024

I understand the historical significance of the album but it's so barebones and boring.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Feb 10 2025
Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 11 2025

A very inconsistent album but still Lennon's second best. Oh Yoko! is strangely touching.

Oct 02 2025
Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Nov 13 2025
Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Dec 01 2025

Prowler isn't as good as the version on The Soundhouse Tapes but this is still one of Maiden's better albums.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 06 2026

Who Knows Where the Time Goes is one of the most beautiful songs in existence. None of the rest of the album really stands out.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 23 2026

Title track is an epic that very clearly inspired every 90's JRPG boss fight soundtrack. The rest of the album is entirely forgettable.

Arise by Sepultura
May 08 2026
