Popular Reviews

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band

This has been one of the biggest surprises so far. I’ve never heard of this band and I ended up listening to the album 3 times today. It’s a mix of different genres and it somehow works.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone

I am ashamed to admit I hadn’t really listened to Nina Simone before. I was blown away by her voice, her lyrics, the piano, everything. If this album doesn’t make you feel something, then you are soulless.

The Clash by The Clash
Oct 23 2023

Classic punk album. Favorite songs: I’m so bored with the USA, London’s Burning and Police and Thieves

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Oct 24 2023

Enjoyed side two the best. Favorite songs: My God, Hymn 43, Lick your Fingers Clean and Locomotive Breath

Marquee Moon by Television
Oct 25 2023

Ugh I hated the singer’s voice. Liked the guitars but I was waiting for the album to end.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Oct 26 2023

It’s a pretty solid album. I liked the last song the best.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 27 2023

I really enjoyed a few songs on the album. It’s a great album to play while driving. I think I need to listen to this album a few more times to get it.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 28 2023

Beautiful and soothing album. Enjoyed Blue Skies, Unchained Melody, and Moonlight in Vermont the most. I’d play this album in the back ground while relaxing or having dinner.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 29 2023

Love this album. Blister in the Sun, Kiss Off, and Gone Daddy Gone will always some of my favorite songs.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Oct 30 2023

Did not like this album. I only liked one song, “Halcyon and On and On”. The songs sounded the same and they just dragged on. I’m sure it sounded new and exciting when it first came out but there are so many other electronic albums that are better.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Oct 31 2023

There are some amazing, classic rap songs on this albums Gz and Hustlas, Gin and Juice, Who Am I (What’s My Name). This album hits him different as an adult and I didn’t like the language towards women. It shows how far we’ve come since 1993.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Nov 01 2023

Took my awhile to finish because it’s a long album. Solid album. Each song flowed well into the next. Very relaxing and chill.

xx by The xx
Nov 02 2023
Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 03 2023

This album surprised me! I only known their song “Come On Eileen” but this album was so energetic and fun.

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 04 2023

Overall, the album was okay. There are a few songs that stood out and will always be a classic. Waves of Mutilation, Monkey Gone to Heaven, and La La Love You stood out the most on the album.

I did have this album when I was 15. I did go back in time listening to this album 23 years later and I remember which songs I liked the best: My Way, The One, Take A Look Around. This album satisfied the angst when I was a teenager and now it does nothing for me now.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Nov 07 2023

Chill, relaxing album. After listening to this album, it made me want to dig deeper and listen to more jazz. Looking forward to listening to this album on a cold, rainy day.

Dookie by Green Day
Nov 08 2023

A solid, true pink pop album. I will always love Basket Case, along View, Welcome to Paradise and When I Come Around. The songs focus more on anxiety and being alone rather than stupid shit.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Nov 09 2023

Her voice gave me chills and I loved the lyrics. The songs are solid. The album is solid.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Nov 10 2023

This album surprised me. I didn’t think I would like it but the whole album works. Each song is unique and fits together.

Guero by Beck
Nov 11 2023

It wasn’t a bad album. It was just okay. I can see what Beck was trying to accomplish with this album but it ended up falling short.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Nov 12 2023

I enjoyed the first couple of songs then they got weird and I was ready for the album to be over with.

Nov 13 2023

I understand why this album is considered one of the greatest albums ever. I’m sure this would be amazing live and was seen as novel when Bob Dylan released this album. I’m not going to be listening to this album again on my own. Sorry Bob.

American Idiot by Green Day
Nov 14 2023

This is Green Day’s best album. Even though it came out in 2004, it still works in today’s world.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Nov 15 2023

One I started listening to the first song, I thought "This is going to suck." But the further I got into the album and really started listening to the album, it really got to me. The album is about loss and depression but also coming out of the other side. Not everything has to be happy and upbeat. It sucks that the album is on YouTube, because this beautiful, dark album was frequently interrupted with Christmas ads.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Nov 16 2023

There were a few songs that stood out to me and there were parts of songs that I enjoyed but then there were things thrown in like creepy laughing. I think I was too sober for this album.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Nov 17 2023

I enjoyed Nick Drake’s voice a lot and the guitars. Sometimes the songs sounded all the same. The songs that stood out: At The Chime of the City Clock, Sunday, Hazy Jane II

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 18 2023

It was fine. Nothing really stood out to me. I couldn’t finish the album because I had to listen to it on YouTube and for some reason the last 2 songs weren’t playing. I didn’t care enough to look them up somewhere else.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Nov 19 2023

I really enjoyed the entire album. I love Rod Stewart’s voice. Songs that stood out to me: Morning Dew, Ol’ Man River, and Greensleeves.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Nov 22 2023

Bob Marley always puts me in a relaxed mood and transports me to Hawaii. Ultimate chill album.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Nov 23 2023

I might like Dear Science more than Return to Cookie Mountain. All the songs fit and flow well. Love Tunde’s voice and this album really shows off his abilities.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Nov 24 2023

I have a lot of respect for Missy Elliott and I liked the songs about loss, being a strong woman, and having fun. I was annoyed when she said “This is a Missy Elliot exclusive” for every song. At least she was having fun.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Nov 25 2023

Best Rolling Stones album.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Nov 26 2023

Some of the music was fine. Not a fan of the singing. Way too sober for this album.

Quiet Life by Japan
Nov 27 2023

It sounded like a knock off Duran Duran album. The first two songs started out promising, but then all of the songs sounded the same and seemed to drag on. I didn't finish listening to the album because I was just over it.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Nov 28 2023

I was planning on giving this album 2 stars while I was listening. I felt the first few songs sounded the same. Then I listened to the last two songs on the album and they changed my mind. I was surprised that Rush's lyrics are deeper than I previously believed. I'm not a fan of the entire album, but there are a few standout songs.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Nov 29 2023

I liked the album and will give it another listen.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Nov 30 2023

I am ashamed to admit I hadn’t really listened to Nina Simone before. I was blown away by her voice, her lyrics, the piano, everything. If this album doesn’t make you feel something, then you are soulless.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Dec 01 2023

The whole album is good but there are a few songs on here that are my all time favorite.

Dec 03 2023

Didn’t listen to the entire album because I didn’t want to and I remember when these songs were everywhere.

Roots by Sepultura
Dec 04 2023

It’s a typical metal album.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Dec 05 2023

The only songs that stood out were Paint it Black and I am Waiting. Most of the songs and lyrics were repetitive and sounded the same.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Dec 06 2023

The album started off okay. I enjoyed the instruments but then it got worse. This album was hilariously horrible. At least it made me laugh.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Dec 07 2023

It’s a classic early 2000’s pop album. I remember this album and hearing it everywhere. It’s a good album but I’m giving it a 2 because of what I now know about Timberlake. He doesn’t deserve more stars.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Dec 08 2023

Overall, it’s a fine album. The lyrics are cheesy but the album was nice for background music.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Dec 09 2023

This album brings me so much happiness and joy. It never gets old.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Dec 10 2023

At first, I wasn’t into the album. I’ve previously heard Tom Waits’ songs here and there and I knew what to expect with his singing voice. But as I got further into the album, I enjoyed his lyrics and the music. I was surprised by how much I ended up liking this album. I’d give it another listen.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Dec 11 2023

I'm a sucker for Roxy Music. I even liked the song about a blow up doll.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Dec 12 2023

Not David Bowie’s most innovated album but still a solid album. The song “Where Are We Now?” gave me chills.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Dec 13 2023

This album made me so happy, and Fats Domino needs to be celebrated more.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Dec 14 2023

The title of the album fits. I loved every song and got goosebumps when I heard “Come Rain or Come Shine.”

Dec 15 2023

Was worried that the album would be repetitive, but I ended up liking the majority of the songs. Plus, I got so much cleaning done while listening.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Dec 16 2023

I listened to this album 3 times today. One of his best albums.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Dec 17 2023

I couldn't get into this album. All of the songs sounded the same and I had a hard time getting through it.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Dec 18 2023

I didn't listen to the entire 3 hour album and listened to what was on Spotify. I love Ella's voice and could listen to her sing anything.

Dec 19 2023

It’s a solid album but I’ve heard the well known songs too many times.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Dec 20 2023

The music was okay. I couldn't stand the singer's voice. It was whiny and boring.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Dec 21 2023

Not my favorite Michael Jackson album but there are some classic songs that never get old on the album.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 23 2023

This album sounded too much like their other albums. Some songs stood out more than others.

Eagles by Eagles
Dec 24 2023

I could never get into the Eagles. My opinion didn’t not change after listening to this album.

Kala by M.I.A.
Dec 25 2023
The Poet by Bobby Womack
Dec 27 2023

This is what people played at dinner parties and in the bedroom in the 80’s.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Dec 28 2023

Her voice put me in a trance.

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 30 2023

I enjoyed a few songs but most of the songs sounded the same to me.

Dec 31 2023

Loved "I am Stretched on Your Grave" and will always love "Nothing Compares 2 U." Beautiful voice.

More Specials by The Specials
Jan 01 2024

It was okay. The album felt all over the place.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jan 11 2024

It was fine for playing in the background. I wouldn’t play this again. Most of the songs sounded the same.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 12 2024

I tried. I couldn't get into the album.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 13 2024

I thought this album would sound more folky but it surprised me. There were a few stand out songs and some songs that were just annoying.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jan 14 2024

I was transported to another world when listening to the album.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 15 2024

Better than I expected. I enjoyed the more 80’s sounding songs. Some songs were really obnoxious with the random sounds.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Jan 16 2024

Some songs dragged on but overall, I enjoyed the album, but I don't think I'm going to listen to this again anytime soon.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Jan 17 2024

Favorite songs were Indian Sunset, Madman Across the Water and of course, Tiny Dancer. Loved the piano and string instruments on the album.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 18 2024

I loved listening to this album while I was driving. Fantastic blues album.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jan 19 2024

This album always reminds me of summer. It's fun and puts me in a better mood every time a listen to it.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jan 20 2024

I liked two songs on the album. All of the lyrics and music were the same. Boring.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jan 21 2024

Solid album. “I wanna be adored” is perfect.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jan 22 2024

I bought this album when it first came out. I can’t remember the last time I listened to the entire album. I definitely took a trip back in time with this one. 4/5 for the nostalgia and being a great album to work out to.

Jan 23 2024

There were a few stand out songs and then there were songs that were kind of obnoxious and didn’t fit with the other songs.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jan 24 2024

This was one of my favorite albums when it first came out. It was fresh and unique. This is M.I.A.’s best album.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jan 25 2024

This album is so terrible that it could be used in psychological warfare. I had a headache after the 3rd song.

Jan 26 2024

Was this supposed to be hip hop? It was just talking. I tried to listen to the lyrics. Overall, this album was boring and I listened to half the songs.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 27 2024

I played the album in the background when I cleaned. It did feel repetitive sometimes but I still enjoyed the music.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jan 28 2024

This has been one of the biggest surprises so far. I’ve never heard of this band and I ended up listening to the album 3 times today. It’s a mix of different genres and it somehow works.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 29 2024

It’s nice to hear music that isn’t in English. I appreciated the sound of the album and there were a few songs that I enjoyed.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 30 2024

I want to take a nap after listening to this album.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jan 31 2024

This album was literally just noise. There was nothing musically going on at all.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Feb 01 2024

Wasn't able to listen to the entire album, because I had to listen to it on YouTube. I enjoyed the few songs I listened to and will give it a proper listen when I have time.

Revolver by Beatles
Feb 02 2024

Not the biggest Beatles fan, but Tomorrow Never Knows is one of their best songs.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 03 2024

Best Paul Simon album.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Feb 04 2024

I appreciate Mariah Carey and her talent, but most of the songs sounded the same to me.

Boston by Boston
Feb 05 2024
All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 02 2024

Beautiful album to listen to on a sunny day. Will definitely listen to this again soon.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 03 2024

It was a fine rock album. Speed King is the best song and I liked the organ.

Mar 04 2024

I’m not a big fan of country music but I did enjoy Because of the Wind and Boxcars.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Mar 05 2024

Beautiful singing voice. Boring album.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 06 2024

None of the songs really stood out to me. I had the “noise” that was in the background of most of the songs. It was very distracting.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Mar 07 2024

I’m not the biggest Radiohead fan but I’d give this another listen.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 08 2024

The album was fine. Nothing mind blowing. I like Elvis' voice, but none of the songs stood out for me.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 11 2024

I was never a Pearl Jam fan, and after listening to this album, I'm still not a fan.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 12 2024

Nothing mind blowing or exciting.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Mar 15 2024

I was never a Pearl Jam fan and after listening to this album, I'm still not a fan.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Mar 16 2024

Solid album. The songs are upbeat and energetic.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 18 2024

Overall, the album is fine. Side 3 is the best.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Mar 22 2024

This is the type of music you listen to while you are on hold at the doctor’s office. Boring.

Parklife by Blur
Mar 23 2024

It’s a typical British pop album. I enjoyed a few songs but other songs I skipped through.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 24 2024

This album brings back a lot of memories and I have a lot of respect for Nirvana and this album. I’ll listen to it if it’s on but I’m not going to reach for this album on my own. In Bloom and Lithium are the best songs.

Cross by Justice
Mar 27 2024
Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 19 2024

His singing voice grew on me. Favorite song is “Night.”

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Jun 20 2024

It wasn’t bad and it wasn’t great. It was fine.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 21 2024

All of the songs sounded the same to me. The best part of the album was Chris Cornell’s singing.

Jun 24 2024

I would give this another listen.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jun 26 2024
Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jun 28 2024

I’m proud of myself for listening to 90% of this album. I’m giving this album a 2 because the lyrics and the silly voices gave me a good laugh. I will be singing about the plants and Bach is dead for the next couple of days.

Jul 14 2024

I didn't like the first few songs, but then I started to get into the album on "Greenmail" and "Your Dictionary." Enjoyed the music but not the biggest fan of the singer's voice.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jul 16 2024

It's music that you play in the background and then forget about it.

...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Jul 18 2024

This album takes me back to junior high, which is both good and bad. Love the classic songs but most of the lyrics are cringey and outdated.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jul 20 2024

A more modern take on folk music. I like it.

Jul 22 2024

I like the vibe and the message of the album but most of the songs sounded the same to me.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Jul 23 2024

Didn't expect to like this album. Great pick me up on a Tuesday afternoon.
