Popular Reviews

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

5/5

A banger for the ages, arguably top 3 best rap album of all time if not number 1. There is no conversation about rap without Dre from the late 80s to today. Still waiting for that follow up to 2001!

All Ratings

In Rainbows

Radiohead

3/5

Too indulgent and dramatic. Not my favorite Radiohead album for sure.

Homework

Daft Punk

3/5

Few songs stand out otherwise its like a demo tape of great house beats that don't change enough. Definitely early daft punk.

Head Hunters

Herbie Hancock

5/5

Fantastic album. Really funky and accessible Jazz.

British Steel

Judas Priest

5/5

The vanguard of 80s metal. Booming lyrics, face melting shreds, Judas Priest at its best.

Lady In Satin

Billie Holiday

5/5

Franz Ferdinand

5/5

Franz came out of nowhere and crushed it with this debut album.

Transformer

Lou Reed

5/5

Powerhouse and folky and weird at the same time

Hotel California

Eagles

5/5

The Eagles only make greatest hits - funny that Hotel California isn't even a top 3 song in this album, with Wasted Time riding high at number one

Crooked Rain Crooked Rain

Pavement

3/5

Lo-fi vibes indeed, never heard pavement before but its cool to hear a new sound from the 90s

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns

Joni Mitchell

3/5

The World is a Ghetto

War

5/5

So funky and upbeat! Bossa Nova vibes deliver.

Your New Favourite Band

The Hives

3/5

Feast of Wire

Calexico

3/5

Fresh sound that belongs in Robert Rodriguez films but don't love it for everyday listening

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

It doesn't get better than CCR, period. All bangers.

Hms Fable

Shack

Didn't love the sound

Dusty In Memphis

Dusty Springfield

4/5

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

Motown brilliance

Black Holes and Revelations

Muse

5/5

Muse makes banger after banger, not as good as their debut album but the new sound made them more commercial. Still a 5/5.

Tigermilk

Belle & Sebastian

2/5

Not a fan. The tunes are just too soft.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan

5/5

THE KING

A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector

Various Artists

4/5

Truth And Soul

Fishbone

4/5

Fun, pre-sublime type ska funk

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

Blues is on point, language and cultural barrier are no issue

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

5/5

Epitome of late 90s groove + synth sounds. I also can't hear it without hearing Flight of the Conchords or thinking about the Matrix for some reason.

Tanto Tempo

Bebel Gilberto

5/5

Bossa Nova always puts me in a good mood, and Bebel is a smooth as bossa gets.

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

4/5

As a kid, I was taught Beatles over Rolling Stones so I didn't discover their raw power until my 20s. Speaking of the Beatles, its crazy to think of the timeline this album came out in, considering the Beatles were already broken up. I really like this album, its core Rolling Stones, no big hits, just 18 super listenable jams.

Who's Next

The Who

5/5

I love The Who, from Tommy, to Quadruphinia. Its sad to hear this could have been another themed album and ended up being scrapped. Lots of hits in this one, guaranteed W.

Rubber Soul

Beatles

5/5

The best band in the world doesn't have off days. The hits are big, the non-hits are classic beatlesy rock and roll/blues.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Great lyrics, chill tunes. Not a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan but enjoyed it.

Atomizer

Big Black

1/5

I mean, yes its music, yes its punk, but it also sound like electric drivel. I am sure a few more playthroughs would make it palatable.

Pretzel Logic

Steely Dan

4/5

I don't know much Steely Dan but this album covers so much ground across genres, from classic rock, to jam bands a la doobie brothers. East St-Louis Toodle Oo is the weirdest song and yet I am drawn to it.

Giant Steps

The Boo Radleys

2/5

The softness of the lyrics doesn't hit with me, but the instrumentals are a mix of soft rock and almost grunge.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

5/5

I joined this website to expand my music taste - Steely Dan has shoved itself in the best way possible, just like its namesake. Smooth, jazzy, jammy, harmonics on point, bluesy, I mean, what more do you want?

MTV Unplugged In New York

Nirvana

5/5

THE GREATEST UNPLUGGED ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!

Power In Numbers

Jurassic 5

5/5

J5 never dissapoints, one of the greatest lyrical hip hop groups of all time

Shalimar

Rahul Dev Burman

2/5

Late 70s bollywood is a fun listen but not something I would add to my regular collection or play at a party. Unless it was a bollywood party.

Let It Bleed

The Rolling Stones

4/5

Great album!! Gimme Shelter is a banger for the ages, and Love in Vain is as sad as the title and a great segue into the rest of the bluesy tones of Let It Bleed. Monkey Man and Midnight Rambler feels experimental, and the choice to finish with You Cant Always Get What You Want feels both internal for the band and external for the audience. What a record.

Low

David Bowie

3/5

I've always liked Bowie the person more than his music, something about his Art pop just doesn't land with me all the time. This album is definitely in that same camp. Some fun songs, but its all very experimental and not cohesive for me. It feels like he made it for himself rather than his audience, which is fine but I didn't love it.

A Night At The Opera

Queen

5/5

Hard to not award five stars for the biggest hit in the 20th century. However, really surprised with the prog-ness of this album, starting with the opener. Queen wanted a new sound, and the found it.

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

4/5

The prince of darkness, the godfather of metal, Ozzy rocked so every other metal and hard rock band could live.

Faust IV

Faust

2/5

2 stars for its experimental, yet still cohesive sounds. I enjoyed the lo-fi techno sounds, especially since it was in the 70s. Overall, this is a personal listen. To quote my wife "That is SO annoying"

Fever To Tell

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

5/5

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are a super talent. Maps helped them achieve commercial success but I don't think they give a shit, their tunes are so raw and in your face. Its got Blondie vibes, the punk ala Scott Pilgrim distortion is a great sound, and I just want them to make music forever.

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

4/5

The album is beautiful and deeply sad at the same time. 100% soul.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

2/5

Its broody and angsty, the brand of it is clear. I like the silky tones, it gives it a jazz/lounge singer sound.

Chirping Crickets

Buddy Holly & The Crickets

2/5

Hot Fuss

The Killers

5/5

The Oasis of their generation, Mr Brightside their Wonderwall. This album is perfection and not a one hit wonder for the band, their follow ups were just as good.

Tom Tom Club

1/5

Feels like B-52s, useful for future samples. A bit droney.

Surfer Rosa

Pixies

5/5

Where have you been all my life?

Off The Wall

Michael Jackson

4/5

Controversy aside, it doesn't get more talented that MJ and this album is mental. All the funk, all the freedom, you can tell how this was the headwaters for Thriller. This is MJ's transition from Jackson 5 to Michael Jackson.

The White Album

Beatles

5/5

The best album by the best band, top 5 stuff

Third/Sister Lovers

Big Star

2/5

Singer is talented but the melancholy is never ending.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

4/5

Missy successfully transitioned into the new millennium with massive hits and a great vibe. This album is seminal for the 2000s.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

4/5

As a prog child, this hits all of the right spots. It does get TOO creative in sections, but the title track "Court of King Crimson" is a forever banger.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Not my favorite style of hip-hop but you can't deny how foundational it is for the whole movement.

C'est Chic

CHIC

3/5

Solid disco funk, loved the bass lines

Live At The Harlem Square Club

Sam Cooke

4/5

I can't think of another live album that makes you feel like you were there. The energy, the sound, the vibes, are all the right ones. Sam also keeps us on our toes by engaging with the crowd. The way he transitions from crowd work to his tunes is uncanny.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

1/5

What? Am I being punked?

Gorillaz

4/5

Hard to come up with bigger hit in the last 20 years than Clint Eastwood. The rest of the album has beat demo vibes but Del shines every chance he gets.

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

3/5

Great listen, uplifting funk that tackles tough subjects.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

3/5

I am not a jazz connoisseur, however this had a great vibe to it. 3 stars because its multiple version of similar songs.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen

Leonard Cohen

3/5

There is folk, and then there is sweet poetry readings to slow plucked guitar. If the latter is for you, then you've come to the right place.

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

2/5

1998 Kid Rock made some good dude rap rock.

Brilliant Corners

Thelonious Monk

4/5

Approachable yet technical Jazz, I love anything by Monk

Iconic. 4 stars because their 5 start album was their next effort.

2/5

3 stars for the arrangements, 1 star for the singing.

4/5

5 start concept stuff, super fun listen and a slice of late 60s british pop rock.

Five Leaves Left

Nick Drake

2/5

Its sad but its solid folk

My Aim Is True

Elvis Costello

5/5

5 star album where all the songs play well, even in 2024.

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

5/5

A banger for the ages, arguably top 3 best rap album of all time if not number 1. There is no conversation about rap without Dre from the late 80s to today. Still waiting for that follow up to 2001!

Station To Station

David Bowie

3/5

Another solid Bowie outing

The Village Green Preservation Society

The Kinks

3/5

Not as good as Arthur, definitely early concept with more silliness than structure

Scott Walker

2/5

fine but too slow and not my thing

Croony and classic, lots of love ballads

Such a groovy album that never lets up, and much more about positive messaging and humanitarian concerns over his other thirsty album.
