Popular Reviews

The Blueprint by JAY Z

Jay Z is a good lyricist and the production value on this album is top notch, but hot take: Jay Z is an overrated rapper. I just find his rapping so monotone. I skipped several tracks because they just sounded repetitive to me. This album was ok.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Oct 21 2023

Super fun, funky and danceable.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Oct 22 2023

Old-timey goodness

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Oct 23 2023

K, that was not the Talking Heads I was expecting. 😂 Big Weirdos. But I love them. Not my favourite TH album, but glad I gave it a play through. 👍

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 24 2023
Liquid Swords by GZA
Oct 25 2023

Not at all familiar with this album. It's quintessential 90s hip hop, though. Full disclosure, my appreciation for hip hop only began in the naughts (00s). I'm still learning about this genre of music. I love the sampling throughout the album. Great wordsmithing too, albeit not safe for work in the slightest. "I leave 'em split like ass cheeks [...]"

Blur by Blur
Oct 28 2023
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Oct 31 2023

I've never considered myself a Stones fan, but that may have changed after listening to this album. I loved it all. Obviously, I was familiar with Paint it Black, but I also feel like that song in particular was a bit ahead of its time. I had no idea the song was that old. And it certainly stands out on this album, IMO. That said, the whole album was quite enjoyable. I'll probably listen to this again.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen by The Good, The Bad & The Queen
Nov 01 2023

It was ok. There were some parts of the album I really liked and then others that were just noise to me. My younger self would have enjoyed tripping out to some of the tunes. 😂

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Nov 02 2023

Ugh. I wanted to like this album, but it was just ok for me. Some of the songs I felt like Dr. Frank-n-furter was singing. 🤣😂 It was really distracting. There were a couple tunes I enjoyed, but overall I found this album all over the place and just 'meh'. There was at least one tune that gave me a techno/rave vibe which was kinda cool given the time this was made, but it was also kinda annoying, because, well, techno. 😂

Sister by Sonic Youth
Nov 03 2023

Full disclosure: Sonic Youth's Goo album was on heavy rotation for me in my teens, so this was like visiting an old friend. The familiar guitar distortions, Kim's husky voice (although I wish there was more of that in this album) felt like a trip down memory lane. It's definitely not my favourite Sonic Youth album (duh), but it was fun to listen through.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Nov 05 2023

🔥 So good. Wasn't sure what to expect. Did not disappoint. I'll be listening to this again. 🔥

Parachutes by Coldplay
Nov 06 2023

I liked this way more than I thought I was going too. I'm only really familiar with their 'radio' songs, but I enjoyed most of the tunes on this album.

Hotel California by Eagles
Nov 07 2023

I'm pretty sure this is one of those albums that I'd 'steal' from Dad's collection and listen to, except I always stopped listening after the first song. 🤣😏 Glad I gave it a proper listen through. Great album.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 08 2023

Dinosaur Jr has always been a hard no for me. Listened to this album, and I still feel the same. 😂 I have a lot of friends that are big fans, so I've been exposed to their music... a lot. Always sounded like off-key noise to me. 🤣 #sorrynotsorry I'm also usually a big fan of covers, but not this one (Just Like Heaven), nothing heavenly about it. 😏

Nov 10 2023

Will I ever listen to the album again? Probably not. It was fun though. Gave me vibes of punk shows I used to attend in the 90s.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Nov 11 2023

IMO, Bowie can do no wrong. 😂 Love this album. It's bittersweet and hauntingly beautiful. It's not something I would listen to regularly because it's also a bit depressing. Masterwork.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Nov 12 2023

Perfect album for Sunday morning chores. 🤘 Great album.

Nov 13 2023

This is the first Tupac album I've listened to and it was better than I was expecting. The genre of music still leaves me 'meh', but the whole album as an artwork and commentary on his life is exceptional.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nov 15 2023

I loved every second of this album. So good.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Nov 16 2023

This is the first album that we've been listening to that I skipped a song half way through. I'm familiar with a few of the tunes on this album and they are definitely classics. This jazzy style of music isn't something I enjoy, most of the time. I've heard enough forms of jazz music to last me a lifetime working for a Jazz festival. 🤣 It's good, but also just meh for me and occasionally it was nails on a chalk board. Coincidentally, that's exactly how I feel about jazz music. We have a complicated relationship. 😂😂😜

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Nov 17 2023

This was a good album and introduced me to some new tunes. My favourite track off this album was the first one Intruder

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 18 2023

Good album. 👍

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Nov 19 2023

I can confidently say I will NEVER listen to this album again. Awful, retched, just terrible. I was already in a pretty foul mood when I put this album on and it did nothing but make me moodier. I like a good industrial album that's heavy on noise and distortion, but JFC, this was like a bunch of toddlers were given electric instruments and loads of sugar.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 20 2023

That was a fun listen through. Lots of nostalgia, not mine mind you cause I never listened to this in my youth, but someone's nostalgia. 😂 It IS crazy to think what was coming later. Hip hop has had quite the evolution.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Nov 21 2023

This made my angry little goth girl heart happy. It's not my favourite NIN album, but it has a couple of my favourite NIN songs, including Hurt. Johnny Cash's cover of Hurt is probably one of the best covers ever.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Nov 23 2023

New to me. Hot take: I loved this album. 🤣 I was expecting something much worse given the comments here, but it was lovely. Loved his voice and songwriting.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Nov 24 2023

New to me. Loved it. Was a great album.

Melodrama by Lorde
Nov 25 2023

I've always found Lorde to be a wonderfully weird artist. I wasn't familiar with this album except for a couple tunes. It's the album that my broken-hearted teenage girl needed back in the day. Liability just hit me to the core. Same with Writer in the Dark. I felt those songs deeply. Although I appreciate Lorde as a solo music artist, I absolutely adore her as a writer.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Nov 27 2023

This was the first album that I had to turn down. Some of those high-pitched sounds were way too much for my middle-aged ears. 😂🤣 Overall, I did not enjoy this album. A bit all over the place for me and sometimes a bit annoying.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Nov 28 2023

This album was okay. I don't know if I'll ever listen to it again, but I didn't turn it down or skip any songs. 🤣😂 😏

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Nov 29 2023

I'm a huge fan of Dolly Parton as a human being. I've never really listened to a lot of her stuff other than the 'classics'. This album was fantastic. Loved every second. Never thought I'd say that about a country album. 🤣

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Nov 30 2023

I know every word of this album. I've played it more times than I can count. A classic from my youth. ❤ 🔥

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Dec 02 2023

Jay Z is a good lyricist and the production value on this album is top notch, but hot take: Jay Z is an overrated rapper. I just find his rapping so monotone. I skipped several tracks because they just sounded repetitive to me. This album was ok.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Dec 03 2023

Great album. Really enjoyed it. 🙂 👍👍

Dec 04 2023

I'm going to make a note of this album for when my mother-in-law visits. She's always asking us to play something else, like the oldies. This fits the bill. 😂 Fun listen through. Not something I'd gravitate towards usually, but I've always loved a good piano player. 😏

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Dec 05 2023

Short and sweet.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Dec 06 2023

Wonderfully weird.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Dec 07 2023

I don't think I've ever listened to a Tom Petty album, but I'm glad I did now. I'm really only familiar with his biggest hits, but there are so many other great tunes that don't get the same airplay. 🔥

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Dec 08 2023

This was weird. I like weird. Reminded me of this compilation album some kid put together in the 90s called "Shannon's Tape". 🤣 Now I see where he got some of his influence. I certainly won't listen to this album regularly because it's more of an art piece to me that should be savoured. Definitely an album I'd recommend people listen to at least once.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Dec 09 2023
Berlin by Lou Reed
Dec 11 2023

Meh. It was okay. Maybe it's an album that grows on you with each listen.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Dec 12 2023

What a voice! Ah-mazing!

Third by Soft Machine
Dec 13 2023
LP1 by FKA twigs
Dec 14 2023

Dec 17 2023

Dec 29 2023
Face to Face by The Kinks
Dec 31 2023

Fun! And I swear I've heard the tune Dandy in some horror fare I've consumed, maybe AHS?

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jan 07 2024

I did not know what to expect with this album. I know I did not expect some of those lyrics to go along with the music.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jan 09 2024
Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jan 10 2024

Of course I was familiar with the title track. It was cool listening to the rest of this soundtrack. Especially since most of the soundtracks I grew up with were either a mash of popular tunes OR something by Danny Elfman.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 12 2024
Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 15 2024

It's the late 80s and I'm playing the song "Imagine" (recorded from the radio) on repeat. My Dad tells me to listen to the album. He has it on cassette. It's in a case full of cassettes (which is where a lot of my early influences came from). He probably had it on LP too, but we weren't allowed to touch those and he couldn't play them a lot because the kids made the albums skip while they were running around the house. 😏 So I scurry off to my bedroom. I pop in that cassette and listen. "Jealous Guy" becomes my new obsession and is ceremoniously played on repeat for the next several weeks. 🤣 I'm pretty sure that's not what my Dad was trying to accomplish, but core memory activated so it's a win. 😂😏 Yep, this album brought out a lot of memories for me. Classic. Iconic.

Jan 17 2024

I never saw myself listening to an album like this, nor did I see myself liking an album like this. 😂👍👍

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 22 2024

That was super interesting and fun.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 23 2024
Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 25 2024

Picture it: Ontario, 1993. There's an angry little goth girl laying on her bed overcome with emotion because her boyfriend cheated on her. She looks at her walls - covered in creepy art, dead flowers, and ripped up fishnet stockings. She puts on the album Disintegration by The Cure, then turns her gaze to her tinfoil and tinsel covered ceiling with reflections of red lights she's pointed at it. She lays there listening. Over and over. Disintegration becomes the lullaby that mends her broken heart.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jan 27 2024
Woodface by Crowded House
Jan 29 2024

Not really familiar with Crowded House, but I enjoyed listening to this album. I'm familiar with one of their tunes, Fall at Your Feet, but only from jesse Cook's cover (which IMO is far superior to the original). I think my favourite song on this album is There Goes God. I had to look the lyrics up because I wasn't sure I was hearing the chorus correctly. 🤣😂 Yes, yes I heard it correctly and it's amazing!

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 30 2024

Super groovy! Loved it!

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jan 31 2024
Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Feb 01 2024

No idea what this dude was singing about, but he sang his heart out! Bravo!

Harvest by Neil Young
Feb 02 2024

Two things: Neil Young is not that great of a singer AND why do I enjoy listening to him? He's such a paradox. 🤣 👍👍

Cross by Justice
Feb 06 2024

Definitely interesting. I did not care much for the few vocals in this album. Also, I'm pretty sure I danced to some of these tunes at various clubs. 🤣

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Feb 09 2024

Wasn't sure I was going to like this album, but I loved it. I was familiar with a couple tunes, but not the band nor this album. 🔥🔥
