Popular Reviews

Lead vocals were absolutely awful. Made listening to this album a challenge. His tone was just so off putting, as for the rest, not much to say to be honest.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 04 2024

Not an album I'd go out my way to listen to again, but not particularly an album I'd avoid either.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jan 05 2024

A strong 3, probably would've rated it higher with another listen, better than the previous album.

Jan 07 2024

Superb, a very fun (and clearly a timeless) album. Didn't feel the urge to skip a single song on this album, first time listening to it, well worth it.

Jan 08 2024

Was not particularly drawn in by this one, got quite bored listening to it halfway through.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Jan 09 2024

Electronic music has never truly been my thing, but this, this is just something else. Unfortunately the first album so far I've had to skip songs on.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
Jan 10 2024

Definitely will be bias considering this album is the album that got me into Slipknot The first album that made them deviate away from their original sound and their unfortunate last album with Joey. It's a good album, though definitely one of their weaker albums.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jan 11 2024

Be ready to catch these hands if you rate this album anything lower than a 5. I already listen to this album in full every other day. Can't really seem to go wrong with Radiohead, but this record is one of my all time favourites and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did

Jan 12 2024

A classic that I haven't listened to in a while, nice to have played it again.

Jan 15 2024

First time listening to it, but have heard so much about it. And you can instantly see the appeal and hype. A very strong album from start to finish, one that'll I'll be revisiting.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jan 17 2024

No bad songs in particular, but it all started to sound the same after a while, a very 'safe' album in my opinion, and I love the indie genre. Not their best album either.

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Jan 18 2024

Found this album difficult to finish, quite surprised because I thought I'd enjoy it but I suppose I was wrong.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jan 19 2024

I just wished they'd delete the first song, quite enjoyed the rest of the album though

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Jan 21 2024

There's something about the guys voice that just drives me nuts... Their music isn't necessarily bad, and they're a great influence to other bands and modern rock/metal music but I cannot tolerate his singing.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 22 2024

Not much going on. Singles stand out but only a little past the monotone

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Jan 24 2024

Given the fact that it's psychedelic rock, I'd expected myself to enjoy it more than I did. So I'm a little disappointed.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jan 25 2024

This album has got to be one of the most well known and well regarded jazz albums. And while I enjoy jazz, it isn’t something I seek out much or often. Despite its place in our culture, I would not have listened to this album without this list, and its place on this list is well deserved.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 26 2024

And here it is, my first 5 star rated album I got from this list. Had to listen to this album several times, absolutely right up my alley, I cannot believe I haven't listened to this before.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 27 2024

This is the first album on here I've really felt like one listen isn't enough to really grasp it - there's clearly a lot going on underneath the surface. All in all, it is a solid album, with amazing experimentation and lyrics, but it is a bit dense for regular listening. F. Song - Alright

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jan 28 2024

Cool album art, especially for this kind of music. I want to enjoy this, but it's a bit messy on the first take. I suppose I've come to prefer Daft Punk's cleaner, less cluttered sound. May enjoy more on another listen. Frontier Psychiatrist is a hell of a tune though.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Jan 29 2024

Not a fan. First songs function well as background music and fade away quickly since there is nothing really interesting happening. The last songs, on the other hand, stay in the foreground but in a bad way. Just a bunch of noise. (Remove the vocalist and it probably would've been a 3).

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 30 2024

This album starts with Movin' out which is probably my favorite Billy Joel song. The whole album is really great from start to finish, it feels almost like a 'Best of'.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 31 2024

Never heard of this album or group. Very dreamy and melancholic and I'm glad I discovered this, will add this along with Velvet Underground to my list of albums I need to purchase.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Feb 01 2024

I understand the importance of this album, but, boy was this challenging to listen to. It was more of an educational piece rather than an album you can just put on and listen to in the background.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Feb 02 2024

Expected I was going to like this more than I did. Perhaps listening to the self titled album first had set my expectations too high.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Feb 03 2024

I had fun with this album, enjoyed it until the end, can't say any songs in particular stand out though so you may argue it's a little forgettable. But enjoyable nonetheless.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 04 2024

Sounded a bit messy. I get the tone they were going for but it wasn’t for me.

Feb 05 2024

Didn't really get anything from it, like I didn't hate it, but it was extremely forgettable and straight up wasn't for me.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Feb 06 2024

One or two songs, but that's about it really. Immediately forgot about it until it came to the review.

Feb 07 2024

Blur have made better songs, better albums and Damon has gone on to do so much better, so listening to this was quite disappointing.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Feb 08 2024

Heard quite a few of these songs, never realised a lot of these bangers were by Blondie, particularly all of them in one album, one or two songs I didn't fancy but a great album nonetheless.

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 09 2024

Papa was a rolling stone is such a banger.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Feb 10 2024

Tried it, had to stop, country really is a difficult genre to listen to.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Feb 12 2024

First half was just not my thing, sounded awful to me. Got to Bedroom Dancing and thought it was a great song, grew optimistic and was ready to rate it higher, but the song immediately after and the rest of the album reminded me why I wanted to give it a 1 star rating. Couldn't enjoy it apart from the one song.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 13 2024

Kind of got bored, music that's very easy to zone out to, but not in a good way.

Feb 14 2024

Hadn't heard of these guys but this is good indie stuff. Loved it and will be coming back to it.

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Feb 15 2024

It was all right, a little forgettable and a lot of the songs sounded the same. Not bad but not great either.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 16 2024

Found it difficult to listen to.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 17 2024

Hip moving music, there were a few songs on there that I didn't care for but most of them were good

Ctrl by SZA
Feb 18 2024

It started off pretty okay with the opener. As it went on I disliked it for the most part. There were a couple of decent tracks but a lot was just unappealing. The lyrics were pretty dumb at times too. What a waste of Kendrick.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 20 2024

Been a little while since I've listened to Deep Purple and boy do I forget how good they are, particularly this album.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Feb 21 2024

Not much of anything really, just a bland album.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Feb 22 2024

Definitely brings the 60s sound. Weird hybrid of early Beatles and Dylan? I thought I would like it more but I found it overall just fine.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Feb 23 2024

Clearly “ahead of its time.” Can definitely see the roots of punk here.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 24 2024

People seem to like this one, perhaps I don't get it. Wasn't particularly into it.

Feb 25 2024

Lead vocals were absolutely awful. Made listening to this album a challenge. His tone was just so off putting, as for the rest, not much to say to be honest.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Feb 26 2024

Not a single redeeming quality about this album, seems I've been cursed to listen to some garbage albums.

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 27 2024

Very lackluster. Generic, another album that I really haven't got much from.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Feb 29 2024

Quite a good album, I found myself enjoying this a fair amount.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Mar 01 2024

I've always enjoyed The Smiths, and this album has got some particularly good tracks with "I Know it's Over" being my favourite song by the group.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 02 2024

Really great for a debut album, though not quite complete as their others albums. Fav song: Spiders

Leftism by Leftfield
Mar 03 2024

Definitely could've went without listening to this. This genre just isn't for me, don't see the appeal whatsoever.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Mar 04 2024

Expected to hate this one, but I didn't, quite chill.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 06 2024

Probably wouldn't end up going back to it but was it was fun.

xx by The xx
Mar 07 2024

I love the voices, the mood, sparse arrangements and general sound. When it's good, and it gets the vibe/beat right, it is amazing. My one complaint is that it gets a little samesy and there are many songs without a hook. Still very enjoyable.

Garbage by Garbage
Mar 09 2024

Better than expected but nothing that blew me away.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Mar 10 2024

Personally found this one to be a difficult listen, just sounds very messy and incoherent - a shame.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 14 2024

Quite enjoyed this one, would probably rate it higher on another listen. One or two songs I didn't care for but overall a decent album.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 15 2024

It's Bowie, so obviously it comes with good tracks, but not a Bowie album I'd have picked to be a must listen.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Mar 19 2024

Maybe it lulled a little in the middle but strong start and incredible last leg.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Mar 20 2024

Not really for me, sounded the and and very repetitive

Mar 22 2024

The first 3 songs absolutely carry the rest of the album, would've even been a 5 star album had they kept that tempo, but unfortunately the album falls off.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Apr 27 2024

My grand return for this absolutely masterpiece of an album! Had to make sure I came back so I could rate this a 5/5.
