Popular Reviews

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones

The Stones at their best, a golden age far much better than their later career from the 80s on.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields

An example of how to make a masterpiece with very simple songs that doesn't need anything else.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Nov 13 2023

An amazing debut album. Bringing fresh air to a style often too limited. Funny, emotional, exciting. The hip hop album to recommend to someone who don't like hip hop.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Nov 14 2023

The consolidation of The Verve as one of the strongest british bands. After their previous interesting, but maybe too dark albums, they make a step forward to a more alternative rock oriented audience. Full of major hits and strong attitude it is certainly an iconic album of the 90s

Different Class by Pulp
Nov 15 2023

While their previous work is still my favourite, in this album you will find the greatness of Pulp at their max. Elegance, accuracy, sense of humor and intelligence mixed together with melodic pop. One of the most important albums in UK music history.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Nov 16 2023

Nice hip hop album. Lots of swearing, MF and guns.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Nov 17 2023

Grunge was a blown up mind at the time, but it has not aged that well, let's face it. However, Dirt will remain as one of the most iconic albums in the 90s. Still captivating and emotional.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Nov 20 2023

I have not heard the album, so I can rate only based on reviews, sorry

Doolittle by Pixies
Nov 21 2023

The soundtrack of a generation. No grunge, no indie rock, no Radiohead would exist without them.

An absolut classic to define a decade of alternative rock. REM at its finest moment, a flawless album that resist the passing of time.

Debut by Björk
Dec 04 2023

This album burned down the world of music when it came out. Strange beauty, original sounds, elegant and crazy. What The Sugarcubes initiated, Bjork expanded to the limit. Hypnotic and classy.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Dec 05 2023

Never before a band name matched the music they play. What you see is what you get

Probably the best album ever made. That simple, that honest.

The Stones at their best, a golden age far much better than their later career from the 80s on.

The first album is still the best. Pure talent that sent rock and roll to the world. But not only, this album shows the versality and brilliance of a unique artist.

An album showing the maturity of the band. Recommended.

Jul 02 2024

Moby found his perfect sound after some previous tries. Tecno lkounge mixed with some pop/rock tunes makes a very enjoyable record.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jul 22 2024

Classic rock with the same song playing again and again. Meaning of cool.
