Popular Reviews

Konnichiwa by Skepta

I listened before bed and didn't really care for it. Too much bass. But I listened again (and on a different speaker system) and liked it more. Gonna try it the next time I drive somewhere

In Rainbows by Radiohead

I don't understand the Radiohead love to be honest.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt

Aptly named album

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

This made me anxious so I stopped listening.

1-Star Albums (26)

All Ratings (932)

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Oct 17 2023

I dig it. Funky guitar jams

Bad by Michael Jackson
Oct 18 2023

Also the sound of the drum machine is super irritating. A very tinny drum machine. Iberian girl? WTF is this song! In general: so many added noises it's almost chaotic. And how many times is he gonna do that high pitched squeak noise? The ones I know from the 80s radio of my past are tolerable.

Oct 19 2023

I mean. It's jazz. Technically accomplished jazz. But not my thing. These reviews are for me, not for others. And aren't even really reviews. Oh well

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Oct 20 2023

Very good but repetitive to me after a while. But funky and cool

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Oct 21 2023

A tad much for me sometimes (the "noise") but fucking awesome. Love it.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Oct 23 2023

Well. I enjoyed the peppy beat. I couldn't understand a lot of the words, but some I sure did (jailbait!). Not terrible to listen to though. I never need to again, but I didn't hate it.

Oct 25 2023

I have never heard any of this before and that's a fucking shame because this was so great. Fucking great. Why didn't I listen to this in my youth? Reevaluating my life. Wtf. Sigh. Tho---at least I've got it now, at 52. Never too late!!

American Gothic by David Ackles
Oct 29 2023

Um. No. He sounds a bit like Neil Diamond. He's too dramatic and grandiose. Showtune-esque.

Achtung Baby by U2
Oct 30 2023

4.5 even if Bono is a narcissist.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 31 2023

Like okay. Nick cave is supposed to be great and I guess I kind of like him but two whole albums is just too much Nick Cave at once for me. Plus one star for being profoundly weird but minus a star for possibly being pompous.

The Clash by The Clash
Nov 01 2023

The Clash slaps!!!! I love it

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Nov 02 2023

Spotify doesn't have the whole album so maybe this isn't fair but it's good for what it is I guess. The screaming on one track was a bit much....

B-52's by The B-52's
Nov 03 2023

Totally weird. And totally awesome. I'm not sure how this works exactly but it does. Love it. ROCK LOBSTA!

The White Album by Beatles
Nov 04 2023

Classic. Sometimes weird. I dig it.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Nov 05 2023

Too much pop.

Countdown To Ecstasy by Steely Dan
Nov 06 2023

I didn't like it as much as the last steely Dan album I had. This one has less funky guitar and more annoying keyboard.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 07 2023

I want to like it but me and Joni's voice just do not like one another. The higher pitches...eek no. Also lol; I want to shampoo you. Wtf

Kid A by Radiohead
Nov 08 2023

Not sure I'm on the radiohead bandwagon. This album is kind of creepy. I listened to it easily enough but I don't want to listen to it again really. All I felt was creepy. That's not an emotion I really want from my music.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 09 2023

Never heard this before and maybe never even any of these songs. He's a legend but I can't really tell why from this album.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Nov 11 2023

Not bad. Less heavy guitar screech than others of this ilk. Good roadtrip company.

Horses by Patti Smith
Nov 12 2023

Never heard this before. Liked it!

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Nov 13 2023

I listened to it all and hated every bit. Why is this man considered great? If it's the lyrics, I can't even understand half of them. Musicianship is solid, but doesn't make up for the rest. Or is he a vampire who has hypnotized people into thinking his music is good?

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Nov 14 2023

This is only my 30th album and yet this is the 3rd time I've gotten Steely Dan... A solid album. Knew about half the songs. 3.5

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Nov 15 2023

Lovely but kinda boring. Inoffensive? Couldn't hear lyrics well. Never heard of this guy before.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Nov 18 2023

Never heard of this before! Crab rave! Goes on too long but good.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 20 2023

So much MEH. Btw yesterday I was confused and reviewed the album from the day before again. The punk one was ok. I wasn't quite in a punk mood

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 21 2023

I've already had this album before I was in the group. I'm not listening to this s*** again. The radio hits are nostalgic but otherwise I had a hard time listening. So many extra "noises" and MJs little squeak noise, and all together too much pop music. And the fake drums are too tinny. Also: Wtf is up with Liberian Girl?

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Nov 22 2023

I listened before bed and didn't really care for it. Too much bass. But I listened again (and on a different speaker system) and liked it more. Gonna try it the next time I drive somewhere

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Nov 23 2023

I like the fast pace. Everything else can suck it. Not my style. Instinct said to give it a 1 but the speed/skill of the drums and guitars deserves something.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Nov 25 2023

It's Soundgarden. 2-3

Medúlla by Björk
Nov 26 2023

Experimental and probably very accomplished. But not at all my thing. I had to fast forward some songs.

Sea Change by Beck
Nov 27 2023

Not my favorite Beck. By far. 2.5

Bossanova by Pixies
Nov 28 2023

Idk. Didn't do anything for me but wasn't bad either

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Nov 29 2023

Brb. I need a shower.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Nov 30 2023

Why is this 2 1/2 hours long? DNF due to length. Damn. I didn't hate it but didn't live it either. 2.5

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Dec 02 2023

I liked it and took me back to being a very small child

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Dec 03 2023

Joplin! Good times. Fun album cover too

Dec 04 2023

Nothing wrong with it but not very gripping either.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Dec 06 2023

I absolutely didn't need to hear this album before I died. And I feel like lounge singer was already covered by previous generations.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Dec 07 2023

I tried. I was determined to listen to them all and see if there was even a single good song, but then I got messed up where I was on the playlist in Spotify and I stopped. Most of them are boring, some of them are awful, and some are fine but not good. I heard at least half of them.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Dec 08 2023

Funky! But gets old after a while.

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 10 2023

So prior to listening to these albums I thought I liked the pixies a lot more than I did for this album and the other album I listened to already. Hmmm

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 11 2023

I remember liking the smooth operator song back in the day, and remember the video well, but listening to the whole album it really sounds the same after a bit. Extra point cuz she's cool

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 12 2023

I like this a lot more than I thought I would. Best electronica album I probably ever listened to. Wunderbar!

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Dec 13 2023

Really starts to sound the same after a while

The Libertines by The Libertines
Dec 14 2023

Enjoyable and forgettable at the same time

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 16 2023

Wow, short! Very good. I liked it.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Dec 17 2023

It was fine until it was over 2 hours long and then I knew I couldn't take it so it's only a two

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Dec 19 2023

Of course it's extremely excellent playing by an extremely talented person. Just not the kind of album I am going to revisit.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Dec 20 2023

Fun! Some questionable lyrics though haha

Street Life by The Crusaders
Dec 22 2023

Holy saxophone baby!

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Dec 30 2023

Waffling on the rating for this one because I liked it but actually it's kind of forgettable so let's go 3.5 and I'm going to score it for on the stars because why not?

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Jan 04 2024

Started out okay and then after a while I just couldn't stand him anymore

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jan 06 2024

Solomon Burke is a cool dude and I like these tunes

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 08 2024

80s Nostalgia, probably. 😄

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 09 2024

Decent, enjoyable, yet forgettable (I actually knew some of these songs but I could never have thought of them just on their own)

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 11 2024

Not really my thing but okay

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Jan 12 2024

A bit nostalgic for me, but also too much pop. And a few of the songs are just bad like Dear Jesse, Pray for Spanish Eyes, and Act of Contrition.

Debut by Björk
Jan 13 2024

Ok.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jan 15 2024

Not as bad as I thought it would be based on the album art and a vague memory of screaming trees from the past.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jan 17 2024

Not quite the Bee gees I was expecting. Decent

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jan 19 2024

Ok until "don't" Also boring

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 20 2024

Gets a little long but otherwise great

The Man Who by Travis
Jan 21 2024

Not sure I can write a review because this album made me so sleepy

Jan 26 2024

Never heard of this one before. Totally listenable but not something I'd come back to.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 29 2024
Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 30 2024

I have two extremely early memories of music and I'm not exactly sure which came. First one was that I absolutely adored captain and tennille and had their poster on my wall. The other is Simon & Garfunkel and specifically the song Cecilia which isn't on this album. But I have loved Simon & Garfunkel my entire life and this album is perfection.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 01 2024

This album and artist reminds me of a horrible boss I had at the time this came out. She absolutely loved it and I can't stand it, but I recognize it's mostly because of the b**** Lynette. But also it has a kind of affectation that I don't like. The same as Lynette I guess. Dang, I can't even get through the album and I'm normally down for a good rant.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Feb 02 2024

Pretty good and super boring at the same time

Feb 05 2024

Kinda eew. Like it doesn't make my ears bleed but it doesn't do anything good either.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Feb 08 2024

Sometimes fun and sometimes annoying

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 10 2024

I really like this!

High Violet by The National
Feb 12 2024

Lots of good songs!

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 13 2024

Great but also dated/not timeless. A few songs are kind of whiney sounding.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Feb 14 2024

Ooh! An old one...

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Feb 18 2024

I liked the explain how it's different from western music

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Feb 20 2024

Groovy

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Feb 27 2024

Started out fine and then got super annoying. Like listening to WGMO, or Eric's music...

Let It Be by The Replacements
Feb 29 2024

Solid

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 01 2024

I think this works better as an album than when I hear individual songs out in the world. I'm not exactly on the Fleetwood Mac bandwagon, but I can see why people love this album.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 06 2024

Peak teenage MTV

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Mar 08 2024
Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 14 2024

If it's just on in the background, it's kind of MEH. But if you actually sit and carefully listen, some of these songs are really beautiful. I.e. unchained melody. Maybe going to look for a cover that doesn't have his voice. Though I guess Willie is also covering it...

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Mar 15 2024

So much twang. I think maybe I'd kind of like it if that guy's voice weren't so whiny.

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Mar 21 2024

I swear we've already listened to this. It's just as boring as the other album.

Kenya by Machito
Mar 25 2024
Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Mar 31 2024

Liked it a lot and would give it a five but the dated lyrics took it down one for making it sometimes hard to enjoy.

Synchronicity by The Police
Apr 01 2024

When I had a walkman I had this on tape and listened to it a lot

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Apr 09 2024

This is not the album of theirs that Eric played over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. 3.5

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Apr 11 2024

Soooo 80s, in a good way. But kind of one-note.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 13 2024

I'm not big on jazz but this is the best one I've come across on this list.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 14 2024
Moon Safari by Air
Apr 15 2024

Not bad but my gen z child called it "elevator music" 🤣

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Apr 18 2024

Never heard of this before. Not too bad. Not too good 2.5

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Apr 19 2024

Ugh terrible

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 24 2024

'80s goodness and I still really like it

Ten by Pearl Jam
Apr 27 2024

Great!!

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Apr 29 2024

A great album. The Best of the led Zeppelin albums. 4.5

Cross by Justice
May 03 2024

I really liked this a lot. Like it was great. Yes I was surprised. 4.5

May 06 2024

I knew some of these songs but I never knew they were by an artist called fatboy slim though I did know the name fatboy slim. Huh! 2.5

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 08 2024

I liked the chill vibe but I would never listen to this again. But I wouldn't hate it if I heard a song from it.

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 12 2024

Thought it would be worse, lol.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
May 14 2024

I actually totally dig this old stuff.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
May 15 2024

I enjoy it while I'm listening to it like it's a four-star album, but then I can't remember any of it later.

2112 by Rush
May 21 2024
New York Dolls by New York Dolls
May 29 2024

I dug it. This would have been totally awesome live.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
May 31 2024

Ridiculous and silly and a ton of fun. I loved it. On another day it might not have hit the same, but today it just hit right even though some of the lyrics are really stupid. Probably really a four but I'm reading it at five so that I see it on my list of fives. So don't forget about it the next time. I need some silly fun on a road trip.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 05 2024
Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Jun 09 2024

I just don't get it

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jun 11 2024

I don't understand the Radiohead love to be honest.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 12 2024

Honestly thought it would be worse

Leftism by Leftfield
Jun 14 2024

2.5. For what it is (not my style) It isn't bad

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jun 15 2024

I'm sure it's very accomplished in its genre, but I just do not give a s*** right now.

Between the quality of his voice and they screeching of that harmonica I couldn't even listen to this to try to figure out why people like Bob Dylan

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jun 17 2024

I've heard of her before but not sure. I ever really listened to anything that wasn't a song on the radio. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would but like I don't need to hear it ever again.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jun 18 2024

The Beatles sound kind of whiny but I still have to give this a five

Guero by Beck
Jun 22 2024

The song with the half Spanish lyric is great and otherwise it's kind of meh

Calenture by The Triffids
Jun 24 2024

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Aug 18 2024

Sep 17 2024
Blur by Blur
Sep 18 2024
Berlin by Lou Reed
Sep 20 2024
Heroes by David Bowie
Sep 28 2024

Heroes is an awesome song, but there's some losers on this album to be honest. 2.5

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 01 2024

This album is lovely. It's not my usual genre but I really enjoyed having it on. What the heck? I'm giving it a 5.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Oct 08 2024

Listen to this made me feel anxious. Clearly not the right headspace for me for this album on this day.

Arise by Sepultura
Oct 11 2024

I appreciate the skill of the musicians and kind of actually dig the metal music, but I just can't with this type of singing.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Oct 14 2024

I have never heard of this before but I really liked it

Nov 17 2024
Electric by The Cult
Nov 18 2024

Good road trip music!

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Nov 25 2024

It was probably better to be there.

Low by David Bowie
Feb 12 2025
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 13 2025
Smile by Brian Wilson
Feb 20 2025

Maybe it's better on drugs? Good vibrations is good because I know it. Otherwise it's too much.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 23 2025
Suicide by Suicide
Mar 01 2025

Really different than I was expecting and could have been so much worse.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jun 01 2025

Pretty good if you don't listen to all the extra stuff

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jul 27 2025

Singer has exactly the type of voice that is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Aug 18 2025

Complicated to rate this one because I generally dislike live albums and Jerry Lee is a piece of shit. However, his influence is undeniable IMO. My favorite live band is Low Cut Connie and Adam's performance style is directly influenced by JLL. Adam wrote a reflection about JLL when he died, published by Spin.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Sep 03 2025

Much much weirder than I thought it was going to be. Not bad either. Mostly.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Sep 05 2025
Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 10 2025

A couple not great songs brings this down a little. Otherwise I love it.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Sep 17 2025
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Sep 24 2025

The falsetto gets a little annoying after while but I'm still giving it a five.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 30 2025

Oh shoot. Only one song from the album is available on Spotify...

Awesomeness

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Nov 01 2025

I'm personally not a fan of jazz but if I had to listen to it this would be all right... For a while.

One World by John Martyn
Nov 06 2025

Inoffensive but not interesting either

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Nov 09 2025

Never heard of this before. Decent.

Quiet Life by Japan
Nov 11 2025

It's '80s, but boring. (I am generally an '80s fan) 2.5

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Nov 12 2025

Inoffensive but non-exciting

Elastica by Elastica
Nov 13 2025

Not bad but I got bored

En-Tact by The Shamen
Nov 15 2025

2.5. Totally listenable but I don't ever need to listen to it again.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Nov 20 2025

I like this a lot. Good vibes.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Nov 21 2025

Not my thing. At all.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Nov 27 2025

Not a fan of music with screechy screech, dogs barking, and weird noises. Jack White pulls off weird noises. IMO this does not, at all.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Nov 29 2025

A couple I remember from the radio. Listenable but boring.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 03 2025

Overall, I enjoyed it and tried to ignore some of the lyrics

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Dec 04 2025

2.5. listenable but I don't need to hear it again

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 06 2025
Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 08 2025

Some songs just go on too long.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Dec 09 2025

Johnny Cash is the man. An interesting listen even though it's live. I'd rather listen to one of his studio works then this again, but I'm still giving it a floor.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Dec 10 2025
Ctrl by SZA
Dec 11 2025
Black Metal by Venom
Dec 13 2025

Surprised the heck outta me. Thought I'd hate it.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Dec 14 2025

Hadn't heard this before. A bit different from other Kings of Leon I'm more familiar with.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Dec 15 2025

Ducky remembered this from the '80s but I didn't. . It was fine

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Dec 17 2025

Good but I need to be in the mood.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Dec 18 2025

I don't need to hear this ever again. Or even really for a first time.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 23 2025
Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Dec 24 2025

Good vibes. And I struck up a conversation with the man behind me at the grocery store who asked me what I was listening to and he remembered the Youngbloods from back in the day. Then he told me a story about how he almost took the Dave Clark Five out water skiing on Lake Mendota but had to go to a bugle corps rehearsal instead. Don't worry about the Dave Clark five though...they still got to go water skiing with this man's friend. Anyway, good times.

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Dec 25 2025

Repetitive, and not at all was I what I was expecting from the name and album cover and the picture of the artist on Spotify.

Dec 30 2025

The misogynist content is so disagreeable that couldn't even think about enjoying anything else. I took the advice of a different review and listened to Masta Ace's album, Take a Look Around. I enjoyed it! (I found it on YouTube.)

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 31 2025

Pretty good actually. Huh.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jan 02 2026

Not bad at all

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 03 2026

I'm sure it's really wonderful but it's not for me.

Jan 05 2026

I'll start to like a song and dig whatever's going on and then it just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on all the same....

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jan 06 2026

The lead singer's voice is just so....yuck. Yes, I'm aware everyone else likes Radiohead. LOL

Movies by Holger Czukay
Jan 07 2026

I wouldn't say it's really bad but I wouldn't say it's good either.

Jan 09 2026

Teenage kicks! Maybe doesn't quite deserve before but I'm giving it one anyway due to a banger and some weirdness

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 11 2026
Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jan 13 2026

Fine as background music while I was working... Not much else to say about it. Don't listen too closely to the guy's voice. Lol.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 14 2026

Not as good as the other CCR I had on here

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 15 2026

Pretty boring IMO

Jan 21 2026

A few songs I liked quite a bit but I found some others super annoying with overly loud repetitive noises, and overall just too much going on in each one. My brain couldn't figure out what to focus on.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 24 2026

Boring

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 26 2026

I quite enjoyed this. First song is a really wonderful love song.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 01 2026

It's a five for me, dawg

Feb 06 2026

Decent, esp first 2/3rds. 3.5

Aja by Steely Dan
Feb 09 2026
Rapture by Anita Baker
Feb 21 2026
Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 28 2026

When she sings high and loud, her voice is actually painful to me.

Music by Madonna
Mar 01 2026

I'm not huge on pop but this was fine... Until that cover of American pie. Oof.

Mar 02 2026

Didn't mind listening to this at all. An interesting historical capsule of the western craze of the '50s.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Mar 05 2026

This style is not for me.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Mar 17 2026
Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Mar 30 2026

I can never get past the whiny voice with Radiohead

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 31 2026
Vivid by Living Colour
Apr 13 2026

Very good

OK by Talvin Singh
Jun 06 2026
First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jun 13 2026

I like the beats and energy and her voice got really old after a while, for me.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jun 14 2026

I like the music but I do wish the lyrics were not that type of screaming lyrics

Odessa by Bee Gees
