The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett

I have always loved this album since I discovered it.

1-Star Albums (13)

All Ratings (184)

Oct 09 2023

I didn't hate it, was a refreshing sound from what I usually pick. Actually a good gym/work soundtrack too.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Oct 11 2023

I could listen to him all day! Such an awesome album.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Oct 12 2023

Never heard of them before, but I love the sound of their voice. Down to Zero is 5 stars! Love this album.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Oct 13 2023

Ah Radiohead. I have to be in the right space to enjoy it and that space doesn't show up much. I could live a fine life without feeling like I missed out had I never heard it. Not a bad album, and it definitely had a space in my life when I was a younger human - but now it's too moody & whiney for me to want to hear it again.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 16 2023

Enjoyed this album. I've never listened to it from front to back. It's a keeper for sure.

Real Life by Magazine
Oct 19 2023

Never heard of Magazine before, but I like the sound. This album is a keeper! Burst πŸ’₯

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Oct 20 2023

Love this album! Happy energy. Added to my favorites.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Oct 23 2023

Awesome album, has been one of my favorites for a long time. Raw.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Oct 24 2023

I understand the significance of this album, or at least to a degree, but it's not really my jam.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Oct 25 2023

Jethro has a place in my life but I kind of get lost in the album and I don't know if I love main dude's voice enough to listen to the entire thing back if it weren't assigned. Can't always have consecutive ballads for my personal taste. Still I'm glad they made the album. Wind-Up and Locomotive Breath are new ones for me and I really enjoy them. Also I appreciate the flute. But altogether

In Utero by Nirvana
Oct 26 2023

I like Nirvana, but I'm not as angry as I used to be in my youth, so songs like Scentless Apprentice are not appealing anymore. This album contains so many hits though that I still like - so I was surprised to learn as I went through it that I didn't actually love the album as much as I used to, though I still respect it. RIP Kurt.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 27 2023

Really enjoyed this. New to me. Added it to my album library.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Oct 31 2023

Not always in the mood for such chill vibes, but it's a good album!

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Nov 02 2023

Not really something I'd listen to a whole album of.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Nov 03 2023

It was fine, but not something I'd seek out. Didn't really catch my attention.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Nov 10 2023

One of the greats for sure!

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 15 2023

It's fine.

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 28 2023

3.5/5

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Nov 30 2023

Cactus was good, Where is My Mind is a classic. But overall I wouldn't die without this album.

Odelay by Beck
Jul 15 2024

Beck is all nostalgia for me. Great album

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 22 2024
Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Jul 24 2024

Completely new to me. Was really nice to work to, interesting but not dominating. More of a background album IMO - but I've found myself going back to it a few times already, especially while I read or work.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 25 2024

New album for me. Really really enjoyed and saved to favorites.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jul 26 2024

Linkin Park - just no. I listened to it in highschool, I don't need to hear them again!

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jul 30 2024

I'm a sucker for soul!

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jul 31 2024

Portland boy!

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Aug 01 2024

Completely new to me. Vibey.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Aug 02 2024

Not a huge fan of soundtracks. A couple tracks on this album can be standalone's but as an album it's not high on my list.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Aug 06 2024

Such a short album! I do enjoy their work but not a super high album in my head.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 07 2024
Revolver by Beatles
Aug 08 2024

All the love to George, but I cannot hear Taxman anymore! A few bubblegum and over played songs on this but that's not their fault. It's a good album and I especially have always loved "I'm Only Sleeping" and "She Said She Said" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" - those songs are what keeps this album high on my list, though Rubber Soul & White Album & Abbey Road would rank higher.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Aug 09 2024

This album is a staple. One of the top's in Jazz. It's a part of everything. Gimme gimme and let me bask in it's presence!

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Aug 13 2024

My musical taste has changed in a way where I can really only enjoy this type of music when I'm working out maybe or need some kind of emotional outlet. Not really something I'd listen to just for funsies anymore. 2 stars from me.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Aug 14 2024

1 star for me. Nothing seemed real exceptional. Didn't hate the album, it just doesn't stand out and I think life would still be complete without it .

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Aug 16 2024

This is completely new to me. I hear the 90s indie vibe, and I'm digging it. 3 stars

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Aug 19 2024

I had 'discovered' Nick Drake in college, and then completely & totally forgot about him until this came up here. A little bit reminiscent of Elliot Smith. Melancholic and comforting. It's like you're in a coffee shop and it's being performed right in front of you. This album is a keeper and is one of those sweaters you keep for ages.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Aug 21 2024

There is a place for electronica, especially during workouts or while I'm working on my computer. It was less than impressive, and kind of annoyed me. But I didn't hate "Damaged People" terribly. 1.5 stars

Night Life by Ray Price
Aug 22 2024

Night Life is a classic. I dig classic country. Can't say this is one of my top albums, but the crooning contained in here - WOOMAMA! 4 stars.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 23 2024

"Zero" has great lyrics and "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" is iconic. This album def has a place in 90's grunge, with the unmistakable nasely squeaky voice of Billy. It's a long album, and I don't want to put myself through that again. It was a bit much. As far as enjoyment level, 2 star.

Savane by Ali Farka TourΓ©
Sep 12 2024

Not familiar with this genre, but honestly I liked listening to it. It's a whole new feel than most of the stuff I usually listen to.

S&M by Metallica
Sep 13 2024

Eh. This was an overkill.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Sep 16 2024
Suede by Suede
Sep 18 2024

Really enjoyed this one!

Sep 19 2024

Not bad, though I was surprised that I didn't love it as much as I expected to. I enjoy Old Country/Americana but would I keep the album on hand? Probably not.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Sep 24 2024

So many hits! I'm tired of Blister in the Sun, but can still dig the majority of these.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Sep 25 2024

Cozy & loungey. Can envision sitting in the front room reading to this.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
Sep 26 2024

I'd be OK with not hearing this again, but I didn't hate it.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Sep 27 2024

Really liked this one!

Oct 02 2024

No real justification for this rating and it might be higher than I would have done if I didn't have emotional ties to it (I think it reminds me of the early days of dating my now husband). But 4 stars for me!

Woodface by Crowded House
Oct 04 2024

It's an unimpassioned 2.75 star.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Oct 08 2024

Not my #1 Bowie album - but still a great album.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Oct 09 2024

First track gave me anxiety. Pass!

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 10 2024

I love Carole King. Great album.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Oct 11 2024

I forgot how much I freaking love this album. Love it x 100

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Oct 17 2024

Enjoyed!

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 21 2024
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Oct 22 2024

Can't go wrong with the Stones. "Going Home" 5 star!

Oct 25 2024

At first I was turned off & almost ended it, but I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did. Great find! So much different than what I thought they were capable of... all I really knew from them was "owner of a lonely heart" (which I also like) .

The KΓΆln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Oct 28 2024

The story behind it really increased my appreciation of it. It went from "that's nice classical piano" to "whoa thats super impressive". added to some playlists & shared with a friend.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 31 2024

Not bad but not something I'd come back to.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Nov 06 2024
Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Nov 07 2024

Twisted is great! Never been much of a Joni Mitchell fan with very few exceptions, but this album changed my mind.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Nov 13 2024

I was intrigued by this album but in the end, Kind of disappointed how forgettable this is.

Debut by BjΓΆrk
Nov 15 2024

I liked it! It's not on the same level as the rest of my 4 stars as far as personal enjoyment goes so I had to give it 3 stars. But it's a good album!

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Nov 20 2024

not my thang. used to be my thang. i'm much more calm now.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Nov 21 2024

Never heard of this before, but I enjoyed the variety of the album. Not my top fav, but I didn't hate it. It's a 2 for me. It's fluffy, without substance - which there is a place for, but overall I found this un-remarkable.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Nov 25 2024

I've never decided if I like them or not. I don't think I do.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Dec 04 2024

Was surprised to hear the Punk notes in this album. I really enjoy her voice, too.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Dec 06 2024

I have always loved this album since I discovered it.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Dec 12 2024

Apparently Bob Dylan is my favorite artist. I'm not sure I've given any of his albums so far less than 5 star, and this one seems to be more of a 5 star than the others!

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Dec 20 2024

I respect the guy and there is a time & place for this album, but for me, it's stressful.

Hms Fable by Shack
Jun 12 2025

Didn't hate it but it didn't stand out to me.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 16 2025

The album title says it! Peaceful and smooth, but not sleepy.

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 17 2025
Blur by Blur
Jun 18 2025
Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jun 19 2025

Very folky, very medieval sounding as others have commented. I enjoyed it and can see it's place in history as folk did have a resurgence in the 60s. I don't know how to rate it.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jun 26 2025

Jack White is a boss. Love his work.

American Pie by Don McLean
Jul 02 2025

beautiful album. Soft, warm voice with feeling..comforting in some ways actually. Empty Chairs has always affected me. Overall I like this album!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

First time I listened to it I did not like. I listened to it again in the morning and it's been playing nonstop!

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 30 2025

I have no discretion when it comes to the Beatles. Too many good memories!

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Aug 08 2025

It's nice background music but not something that requires active listening, at least not something I'd want to devote active listening.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Aug 12 2025

not their best album imo but still good

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Sep 05 2025

5 whopping stars i love their early stuff!
