Popular Reviews

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon

I read the Wikipedia and went into it with an open mind expecting it to be weird and it happened. Some people need to be a little bit less serious about life and then they can enjoy something weird like this

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective

After listening to this album, I've begun to question the ability of some publications to choose the best song of the year.....

On The Beach by Neil Young

As another reviewer pointed out he definitely has a wavering whiny voice. I would rather be on the beach than listening to this album right now and I really just don't find the attraction to Neil Young's music.

The Who Sell Out by The Who

This is kind of a mess. Two stars might even be too much

1-Star Albums (73)

All Ratings (828)

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Oct 30 2023

Prob best listened to on mind altering drugs

25 by Adele
Nov 04 2023
Drunk by Thundercat
Nov 05 2023
It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Nov 08 2023

For a live album from the '70s this seems very well put together. I think it's more of a 3.5 but I'm rounding up to four instead of down to three

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 10 2023

It's Fleetwood Mac, there has to be some good stuff, right? Nah nothing really hit home here

Dummy by Portishead
Nov 14 2023
Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Nov 15 2023

No idea what that was all about since I don't speak a word of French

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Nov 16 2023

Changes is good the rest of it is just so so

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Nov 20 2023

I'm only giving them two stars because I'm sure they somehow influenced bands like Primus that are much better than them

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Nov 21 2023
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Nov 23 2023
Live At Leeds by The Who
Nov 25 2023

Definitely not the best live album I've ever heard

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 28 2023

On the fence I think it's more of a two and a half and there's definitely better steely Dan albums

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Nov 30 2023
Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 02 2023

It's not really a bad album but a little reggae goes a long ways.

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 06 2023
Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 07 2023
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Dec 16 2023

I don't feel this has aged very well

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 20 2023

Was not a fan of the vocals pretty much being in the background. Not sure if that was on the original or just a part of the remastered that I listen to

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Dec 21 2023

Very few songs are actually available on streaming services so it's kind of hard to judge

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 22 2023

Is it truly a five? I don't know, but I'm giving it five stars because I've had such lackluster albums lately

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Dec 24 2023
Sincere by Mj Cole
Dec 25 2023

Definitely way too long. Definitely much more listenable than Orbital which so far has been the low water mark by which I will judge all other albums. I made the mistake of looking at some reviews first and thought maybe it would be a 2 star max but I think it should get a bump to a 3.

Dec 27 2023

The music is prob just average for it's time. There are definitely better sounding live albums though

Boston by Boston
Dec 28 2023
Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Be by Common
Jan 23 2024
Green by R.E.M.
Jan 24 2024
Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jan 29 2024

I'm going with a solid 4.5. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would it just drug on a little bit in the middle for a few songs

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Feb 01 2024
69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Feb 04 2024

3 hours of love songs? How about no. It only gets a 2nd star because I'm feeling nice for putting in the effort.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Feb 07 2024

I don't think the rats were very hot

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Feb 11 2024

It's a four song live album, I'm not sure how this would be considered great but whatever. Typically live albums are never that great in the first place

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 14 2024

There's better Springsteen out there.

Kenza by Khaled
Feb 18 2024

There is only 1 song from this album available on Spotify in the USA as of 02/24. I guess I'm just giving it a default rating of 3 due to the fact that the 1 song was not bad but I have nothing else to go along with it either

Spiderland by Slint
Mar 03 2024

This had some promising moments but overall I feel it is definitely not more than a 3 and that might even be a stretch

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 04 2024

This is not the best Elvis, the majority of this album is just meh

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 09 2024

Every song is about 2 min too long and repetitive. I have no emotional connection to Bowie's music so this being his swan song death bed album album doesn't sway me either. It only gets 2 stars because 1 star is reserved for those truly terrible albums

Imagine by John Lennon
Mar 16 2024
Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Mar 17 2024
Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Mar 19 2024

Disregard the obscenely long top review at this time. {19-3-24} Go in for a listen with an open mind and enjoy

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Mar 23 2024

Obviously has some great hits but the whole album overall is just average

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Mar 27 2024

It's kid Rock and I'm not exactly sure what I want to say but I guess it's at least a high three which is better than I was expecting so I'll round up to a 4

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Apr 03 2024

I read the Wikipedia and went into it with an open mind expecting it to be weird and it happened. Some people need to be a little bit less serious about life and then they can enjoy something weird like this

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 04 2024

Not another Bowie album

Goo by Sonic Youth
Apr 15 2024
The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Apr 19 2024

Even though this is the Beach boys I feel like this album hasn't aged well and is now less than average

Apr 20 2024

I'm not sure about the 4th star but I'm giving for Freddie Mercury

Grace by Jeff Buckley
May 14 2024
The Next Day by David Bowie
May 20 2024

Ughh more fucking Bowie

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
May 21 2024

Some of the songs are way too long and rambling. This gets three stars only because of Janis Joplin.

1984 by Van Halen
May 26 2024
Ys by Joanna Newsom
May 29 2024

It started off on the wrong foot by not even being available on Spotify in the USA currently. Then I read that it's five tracks in 55 minutes so no way too long. I attempted some of the songs, did not make it completely through any of them

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jun 03 2024

Definitely sounds like a movie soundtrack

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 08 2024
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jun 11 2024
Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jun 17 2024

It was decent but I didn't really see what all they hype was about

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jun 21 2024

Better than expected

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 12 2024
Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 13 2024
Live! by Fela Kuti
Jul 20 2024
Nixon by Lambchop
Jul 21 2024
Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 31 2024

I'm going with a solid 4.5 and rounding up to 5 for this one.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Aug 10 2024
Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 15 2024
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Aug 17 2024

Better than expected but still just average at best

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Aug 18 2024

Well it's only 15 min of punk and I didn't even realize the album was over until it sounded like a familiar song and I looked at my phone to realize it was no longer the same album.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Aug 19 2024

This was definitely nothing like what I was listening to back in '99. There didn't really seem to be anything offensive or attractive about this album and it just kind of ended up as folksy background music

OK Computer by Radiohead
Aug 20 2024

Overall pretty decent album just a few dull spots bringing it down to four stars

Truth by Jeff Beck
Aug 22 2024
Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Aug 28 2024

It's definitely a noise that's about it. I might give it 1.5 Stars due to the creative effort to make all this noise, but there is no half star system here, so 1 it is

Smash by The Offspring
Aug 31 2024
Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Sep 03 2024

Another Joni Mitchell album.....yay... NOT! Sorry but I find her music boring and unappealing.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Sep 06 2024

Wow I didn't expect all the hate in the reviews. It's far from perfect but it's definitely far better than some of the other albums on this list

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Sep 15 2024

What was that? If you like random noise and songs that you had to be there for, then this album is for you.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Sep 18 2024

I didn't really have to listen to this one, most all of the songs have been in a pretty consistent rotation for me since I bought the CD in my younger days

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Sep 25 2024

Just more 80s synth pop, it's still passable today I suppose

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Sep 28 2024

Not sure why Prince was so popular. This was all just mediocre at best to me

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Oct 02 2024

Automatic one-star deduction before I even start listening because it's a live album. The recording, production, and performance will all have to earn that star back no matter what album it is. Was this album bad? No. Was this album exceptional? Also no. 3 stars I say, and that may be one too many.

Chris by Christine and the Queens
Oct 09 2024
On The Beach by Neil Young
Oct 12 2024

As another reviewer pointed out he definitely has a wavering whiny voice. I would rather be on the beach than listening to this album right now and I really just don't find the attraction to Neil Young's music.

Rio by Duran Duran
Oct 15 2024
Oct 16 2024

I am only 340 albums in and this is my fourth album by The kinks. All the rest I settled on a three or two and this one is no different.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Oct 20 2024

Not really anything I am interested in in any way but it is very well out together.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Oct 26 2024
Pelican West by Haircut 100
Oct 27 2024

I did not care for this British band.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Oct 28 2024
Horses by Patti Smith
Nov 01 2024
Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 02 2024

I liked the beginning but it seemed to fall off for me the further into it I got.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 03 2024

I really did not enjoy this album.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Nov 05 2024

As per my other reviews, I am not a live album fan but this one hit it out of the park. Johnny had fun with the crowd and it shows.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Nov 08 2024

Sounds like it was recorded in a junkyard. Seeing that this album includes Nick Cave, it's really no wonder I didn't like it.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Nov 12 2024
Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Nov 14 2024
My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Nov 17 2024

Not much that really connected on this one. Too much Costello on this list as it is too

Play by Moby
Nov 21 2024
Eagles by Eagles
Nov 22 2024
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Nov 28 2024
...Baby One More Time by Britney Spears
Dec 08 2024

Aside from the popular hits it's all just kind of meh

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Dec 09 2024
Trio by Dolly Parton
Dec 12 2024

To some country music aficionado this may be a great album but to me not so much.

Third by Soft Machine
Dec 18 2024
Snivilisation by Orbital
Dec 21 2024

Marginally better than the first orbital album I received on this list. Still not worth listening to though

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 23 2024

Kind of on the fence between 4 & 5. I'm going to round up just because I guess.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Dec 28 2024
Dare! by The Human League
Dec 30 2024

An average at best '80s album

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jan 08 2025

Are there any actual real lyrics to these songs?

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jan 09 2025
Suede by Suede
Jan 13 2025
Ramones by Ramones
Jan 15 2025

It gets rather repetitive after a couple songs

D by White Denim
Jan 21 2025
Cut by The Slits
Jan 25 2025
Jan 28 2025

Didn't really listen to much. The album is unavailable on Spotify as of January 2025.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jan 29 2025
Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 04 2025
Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Feb 06 2025

Another album that would probably benefit from the use of mind-altering drugs...

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Feb 11 2025
Feb 19 2025

I enjoy a good instrumental song, but a whole ass album of experimental instrumental songs is a little too much

90 by 808 State
Feb 20 2025
Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Feb 24 2025

Better than the previous Bob Dylan album I listened to

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Feb 27 2025

Two discs and 2 hours? How about no? Oh thank the heavens, the second disc is part of a reissue. I will not be listening to that. Also fuck shoegaze

Guero by Beck
Mar 02 2025
The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 12 2025

I want to give it a 4 but it's just too long and drags on in places

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Mar 22 2025

Lost interest very rapidly

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Apr 15 2025

Do we really need the full blast ear piercing harmonica?

Sister by Sonic Youth
Apr 17 2025
Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 18 2025
Third by Portishead
Apr 22 2025
Bummed by Happy Mondays
Apr 24 2025

Bummed some wanker thought this deserved to be on the list

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Apr 30 2025
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 08 2025

Wow, that was intense... ly boring.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
May 10 2025

Definitely skip the Spotify version and just go to the original on YouTube.

Sulk by The Associates
May 15 2025
World Clique by Deee-Lite
May 17 2025

For its age, I think that was actually pretty decent. Not quite a four. They'll have to settle for a three

The White Room by The KLF
May 21 2025

I'll start off with minus one star for deleting your catalog and making it hard to find. I don't know, seemed like just average house music to me, nothing really super fantastical about it

Odessa by Bee Gees
May 22 2025
Manassas by Stephen Stills
May 30 2025
Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jun 03 2025

I think, no, I know I would rather have brain surgery than listen to this album again.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025
Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jun 14 2025
The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 20 2025

Oh joy, more of this twat waffle

Dust by Screaming Trees
Jun 23 2025

Meh

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 03 2025
McCartney by Paul McCartney
Jul 11 2025

One good hit song and a bunch of experimentals does not make a good album

Country Life by Roxy Music
Jul 12 2025

Not much there beyond the album cover

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 15 2025
Vivid by Living Colour
Jul 17 2025
Low by David Bowie
Jul 18 2025
Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 20 2025
Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

R. I. P. Ozzy Imagine being gifted this album the day after he passes

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Aug 01 2025
The Man Who by Travis
Aug 21 2025

There wasn't really anything memorable or offensive about this, just kind of plain boring bland music

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Aug 27 2025

This is kind of a mess. Two stars might even be too much

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Aug 28 2025
Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 29 2025
At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Sep 03 2025

There's a couple decent songs but a pretty terrible recording all around

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Sep 20 2025
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Sep 26 2025

After listening to this album, I've begun to question the ability of some publications to choose the best song of the year.....

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Sep 28 2025

I don't understand the fascination with the Dead

Arular by M.I.A.
Oct 01 2025
Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Oct 06 2025

Oh goody! I can't wait to read all the hate about this one

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Oct 17 2025

The original 1986 album is not that great, it's also not the album linked in the most popular review. I was only able to find it as a playlist on YouTube. Also, I'm not sure how many people have dug deep enough to see that they have released 2 self titled albums. I listened to both and personally found the 2003 album to be better.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Oct 19 2025

Tom Waits is still odd but this was better than expected.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Nov 13 2025

I loathe the fact that modern rock radio, in my region, feels the need to continue playing the songs from this album everyday. There is also no denying these songs were huge in their day either.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Nov 16 2025
Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Nov 18 2025

Heheh that other guy said soliloquy.

Nov 22 2025

Imagine my surprise when I misread the date and was expecting something from the '80s and I got something from the '60s instead

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 24 2025

Not really sure what they were going for there

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 25 2025

7 songs, 46 minutes. 3 albums by a middle of the road 80's British band at best. You do the math

Dookie by Green Day
Dec 03 2025
Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Dec 06 2025
Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Dec 09 2025

It's a no for me dawg. The singing doesn't really match the music. It's just weird and awkward at times

Brothers by The Black Keys
Dec 30 2025
The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 15 2026

I'm not really sure a compilation of a whole musical catalog should really qualify as an album, but whatever I guess

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Jan 17 2026

What's the obsession with this twat?

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jan 27 2026
Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jan 28 2026

I didn't get all the hate at first, then track 3 started and was completely different followed by another genre change for track 4. Now I get it. This thing is all over the place.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Feb 04 2026

It's pretty amazing that this sold 300,000 copies cuz they all had to have been his pub mates from around his hometown.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Feb 05 2026

This could have been five but lost a star in the second half

Rocks by Aerosmith
Feb 11 2026
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Feb 12 2026

I'm not a fan of the indie genre in any way, so this is just a thanks for participating 3

Sheet Music by 10cc
Feb 14 2026

That sure was something, I'm not sure what it was and I don't think they knew what they wanted it to be either

21 by Adele
Feb 17 2026
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Feb 19 2026
Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Mar 06 2026
Mar 12 2026

The very uninspired singing doesn't really do much for me. Also how can an album come out in 2021 and instantly be added to this list?

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Mar 29 2026

I can't say I really need to listen to this one, but damn it I will. There once was a time where I listened to this album, on repeat, on the school bus everyday, on my way to and from school.

#1 Record by Big Star
Mar 31 2026

The only real positive for me, seems to be the fact that this album contains the original version of the intro song for That '70s show.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Apr 01 2026

I would much rather let out primal screams into the void for 50 minutes than listen to this again

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Apr 07 2026

Holy shit! The intro to the first song is absolutely terrible and ear piercing. The rest of the album is just so so at best

Dry by PJ Harvey
Apr 16 2026
Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Apr 21 2026

The Grateful Dead must only have one good song and it automatically followed this album up when it was over.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 26 2026

Boring AF. I understand how influential this album is supposed to be but I really just don't care.

More Specials by The Specials
May 07 2026

This album is all a load of bollocks

1999 by Prince
May 12 2026
Gold by Ryan Adams
May 19 2026

This album could have been left on the shelf and everyone would have been just fine without hearing it.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 20 2026

Can I just give this a zero now or do I have to listen to it?

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jun 03 2026

Is Radiohead overrated? Yes. Am I the only one that thinks this? Pretty sure, no.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jun 10 2026
Yeezus by Kanye West
Jun 16 2026

*this review is for the music and the music only, absolutely nothing related to this man other than the music.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jun 17 2026
Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jul 07 2026

Probably the best noise album that I've heard on this list so far

Faith by George Michael
