Yesterday I learned I hate Korn… more than I originally thought was possible.

1-Star Albums (27)

All Ratings (360)

Ten by Pearl Jam
Nov 02 2023
Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Nov 08 2023

Not a huge jazz fan… rated it a 3 because I understand from a technical standpoint, this is a great album, so my rating is more of one out of respect for Miles Davis and his contribution to music. it’s just not my cup of tea.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Nov 09 2023

Part rap part horror/sci-fi. The beats were good (the only reason I am giving this a two) but the lyrics were cringe… and let me tell ya to listen to this while working in the hospital was wild. 😆

Dry by PJ Harvey
Nov 10 2023

Enjoyed the listen, but it’s not my favorite PJ Harvey.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 12 2023

All the classics. This was fun to listen to while driving on the highway.

Queen II by Queen
Nov 13 2023

Nice concept album. Did not recognize any song. Lol

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Nov 14 2023

Great album. Especially when driving through the mountains!

Nov 17 2023

Yesterday I learned I hate Korn… more than I originally thought was possible.

Scum by Napalm Death
Nov 19 2023

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Some I enjoyed more than others, such as The Kill, Scum, Human Garbage, and C.S.

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Nov 20 2023

You’d think I would like this more than I did but it’s all slow songs and the songs were kind of just meh.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Nov 21 2023

I enjoyed this album. Though Back to Black is better. The first song was the most early 2000 song ever (read: mildly offensive). But the rest of the songs were good. Fuck me pumps of course being the best.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Nov 25 2023

If I could I would give it a 4.5. Great album.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Nov 26 2023

I feel like Alice Cooper was most definitely a theater kid.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Nov 29 2023

I somehow missed Screaming Trees the first time around. But I really enjoyed this.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Nov 30 2023

I love Jay Z. My favorite album is The Black album but I enjoy The Blueprint as well.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Dec 01 2023

I liked this way more than I thought I would. I would probably give it a 2.5 if that was a thing but I’m feeling generous. Lol

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Dec 02 2023

I put it on while working as background. It was fine. Not my vibe. I just am not a jazz person. At least it didn’t give me anxiety like most jazz.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Dec 03 2023
L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Dec 04 2023

The entire time I listened to this I kept picturing Bruce Springsteen dressed as Pennywise singing French metal in a circus tent. 🤷🏻‍♀️ it is unique but I probably won’t listen again.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Dec 05 2023

I enjoyed this. I would listen again.

The Doors by The Doors
Dec 07 2023

The Doors are great. Also it took me 42 years to realize just how creepy “show me the way to the next little girl” truly is. 😬

Atomizer by Big Black
Dec 08 2023

This was fine. Nothing special in my opinion.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Dec 11 2023

I’m surprised I actually thought I would like this more than I did.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Dec 12 2023

If halves were a thing I would have given this a 2.5 but they aren’t. I just can’t fully give it a 3. I liked it though.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Dec 15 2023

Haven’t listened to RHCP in a while. Enjoyed listening again. But I think they are a band you can only take in smaller doses.

Rio by Duran Duran
Dec 16 2023
The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Dec 17 2023

There is a version of me in the timeline of my life that would have given this a 5. But I am just not that version of me. I did however enjoy listening to this again after all these years, more than I expected to.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Dec 18 2023

I listened to this the same day as NIN 😆. It was fine. Nothing overly special to me.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Dec 19 2023

No notes.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Dec 20 2023

I had never listened to them before. I like the album. Would listen again.

Blur by Blur
Dec 21 2023

One of those bands that I immediately recognized the name but couldn’t recall their music. Enjoyed some songs. Others I could have done without… like the last one. What was that? Might listen to it again someday…. But probably won’t.

Diamond Life by Sade
Dec 27 2023

I grew up listening to this album because my mother loved Sade. Not my cup of tea but there are a few songs that I enjoy.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Dec 28 2023

I felt like I was in a heist movie. Like the part where the go over the plan and you see the characters doing all the things… very oceans 11. I liked this but am unlikely to listen again. This is something I would give a 2.5 if I could but I will elevate it to a 3.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Dec 29 2023
Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jan 11 2024
Horses by Patti Smith
Jan 17 2024
Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jan 18 2024

I love the Smiths but this isn’t my favorite album.

War by U2
Jan 20 2024

This album starts off so strong and ends like on a fizzle. But it’s a great album.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 23 2024

Enjoyed several songs. Others were just meh.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 25 2024

I would probably give it a 2.5. I get that he’s one of the greats. Just not my speed.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 26 2024
Kenza by Khaled
Jan 28 2024
Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 04 2024

The music was ok. The lyrics were ridiculous.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Feb 09 2024

The soundtrack of my decent into madness.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Feb 10 2024

I like Arcade Fire. 3 albums on this list is a bit much.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Feb 11 2024
Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Feb 16 2024

There were some hits and there were some misses. 2.5 if there were halves….but I can’t say I would listen to the entire album again.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Feb 18 2024

I feel like I was in coffee shop open mic hell

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 19 2024
1999 by Prince
Feb 20 2024

A classic.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Feb 22 2024

I swear this is a parody band. But it was fun.

Ctrl by SZA
Feb 26 2024

I was hoping to like this more than I actually did. Nothing really stood out or grabbed me.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 04 2024
Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 05 2024
Mar 15 2024

The line “everyone needs a bosom for a pillow”? Perfection. A Punjabi version on Norweigan Wood? Chef’s kiss. 3.5

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 16 2024

It’s no Royals, but I enjoyed this album when it came out and several songs made it onto my playlists. 3.5

Dummy by Portishead
Mar 19 2024

I was in to this album in highschool because I worked at a record store and we played it in the store a lot. For nostalgia purposes it’s a 3.5.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Mar 20 2024

I didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. Probably wouldn’t listen again.

Purple Rain by Prince
Mar 23 2024

The movie is trash. But the album is perfection.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Mar 24 2024

So many filler songs. This album could have been 10 songs and been much better. Really want to give it a 2.5 but I am bumping it up to 3 because of Beyonce

xx by The xx
Mar 25 2024

I enjoyed this. I was on the fence between a 3 and a 4… but I’m feeling generous.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 26 2024

Not my favorite Bowie but still Bowie.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Mar 29 2024

This was bloody awful

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Mar 30 2024

I like how she came back to Spotify just in time for us to listen.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Apr 05 2024

I should like this more than I do. I like Stories better.

Apr 09 2024

I personally have a soft spot for Oasis. Don’t Look Back in Anger is a legitimately great song. Also I’m probably related to them.

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 12 2024

Love me some Steely Dan

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 13 2024

I have said it before and I will say it again…. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they succumb to the music stylings of Peter Gabriel… this album has some quintessential Peter Gabriel.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers

Some of my favorite Nirvana songs on this album. So good!

Nov 18 2024

Bob Dylan sounds like a Classically trained opera singer in comparison to Tom Waits. Like nails on a chalkboard.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Dec 11 2024

Really this would be a 2.5 but I am feeling generous.

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Dec 15 2024

The British are weird. Songs were ok. Only one I truly liked was Someone’s Coming

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Dec 29 2024

This sounds like David Bowie singing Tom Waits.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jan 06 2025

I remember really loving this when it came out but there are several meh songs. I like well enough. It’s no Bedtime Stories.

Jan 08 2025

This felt very manufactured. Not at all authentic. I didn’t hate the music or lyrics or vocals…. It just felt like the music you’d hear in a tv show where there is a fake band.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jan 12 2025

My first concert was Alanis. This album was pivotal to my youth. It carried me from kid to teenager.

Movies by Holger Czukay

Arrival by ABBA
Feb 24 2025

Look ABBA’s greatest hits is all you need to listen to from ABBA. Their greatest hits are awesome. Anything else from them is just mid.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Mar 05 2025
Celebrity Skin by Hole
Mar 08 2025

This album is perfection. It’s a 6. I will fight you on this. This is the hill I will absolutely unalive myself on.
