Popular Reviews

The Libertines by The Libertines

I couldn't stop thinking about how much they're like a shittier version of the Kooks

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock

I really wanted to hate this album but just couldn't do it. It struck a good balance of enjoyable hip Hop and solid Rock. The lyrics are absolute cringe. The tracks are all pretty similar in theme and tone, mostly painting kid Rock as a rock and roll gangster badass. Each track was unique enough to stand out. Very few misses.

Palo Congo by Sabu

The best I can say is two songs don't suck.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 08 2024

Creative mix of styles. Definitely ahead of its time.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 10 2024

If gave me feelings and I do not appreciate it

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Jan 11 2024

Loved this album. Huge variety of moods among the tracks. All In Love Is Fair is hauntingly good, I had to stop working and pay attention then it came on. I was legitimately dancomg to Don't Worry 'Bou A Thing. The jazzy chords and melodies add a unique flavor that make the songs stand out from other songs in the same genre. It goes without saying that Stevie is an amazing singer.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jan 12 2024

This album is angst and nihilism incarnate. Maybe I’m just a normie, but I think music should be pleasant/enjoyable on some level. This was the music equivalent of modern art – it’s there to make you think or make a statement, but nobody would use it for their own enjoyment. The mixing/mastering was weird too. Tons of oversaturated guitar making the vocals totally drowned out (which I’m sure is on purpose). The most unpleasant sounds were the loudest in the mix. Closer and Reptile were interesting and had some fun electronic sounds, But I think I only liked them in comparison to the other stinkers. Hurt is actually a good song, but it can’t redeem that godawful album. By the end of I was annoyed that it was even included in the 1001.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jan 15 2024

There's some decent song-writing here, but I just couldn't get past his singing. He has such a strange voice. It almost sounds like a joke. I've never heard much Neil Young before; probably because he refuses to put his music on Spotify because Joe Rogan is on there - pretty hilarious reason. Either way, I'm not mad about it because I think other artists in the same genre are much better.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 16 2024

Enjoyable but very slow. I got halfway through and had to take a nap. Norah's voice is orgasmic.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Jan 17 2024

Some of these songs just sounded like basic blues to me. I was impressed that the songs are longer than they felt. A 7 minute song that doesn't over stay its welcome is a rarity. I just don't enjoy Bob's singing. The music itself is good. This album almost would have been better as an instrumental. Haha.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jan 18 2024

Impressed by the way they combined rock, hip-hop, and jazzy vibes together. I enjoyed almost every song!

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Jan 19 2024

Each song is fun for about 30 seconds. Then they're obnoxiously repetitive. I did like the voice clips at the beginning tho.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jan 22 2024

I was done after the first two minutes of each track. Five Man Army is pretty good, but has 3 filler minutes at the end.

GI by Germs
Jan 24 2024

So nice of them to let that autistic deaf guy do the singing

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 26 2024

So many classic hip hop beats came from this album. Nas is a master of creating intricate rhyme schemes that for effortlessly. The album captures that gritty ethos that can come only from a legit gangbanger, but also contains the true artistry of someone who works hard at the craft.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 29 2024

More experiemental than expected. Not sure I like guitar solos enough for this.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 30 2024

Relaxing as hell, smooth as you like.

Jan 31 2024

I like this album a lot more than expected. Simple songwriting, fun harmonies, something about the production quality itself is enjoyable. His voice comes through clear and bright like it was recorded today. Big in Vegas is an actual slapper.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Feb 01 2024

I don't have much good or bad to say about this album. It's your classic reggae sound, which has its time and place.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Feb 02 2024

This album was pretty basic to me. Nothing was particularly good nor uniquely bad. Something about the mix is too washy for me. Hated the last couple instrumental tracks.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 05 2024

None of the songs were unenjoyable, but the only one that stood out is Superstition.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Feb 06 2024

As far as pop music goes, this album is a 10/10. Great production quality and a shocking number of bangers.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Feb 07 2024

I can't think of any situation where I want to listen to this music. It sounds like it's part of a 2000s James Bond soundtrack. It's not bad, it's just an oddly specific genre. Some of the tracks sounded like they took perfectly good music and added obnoxious electronic sounds to it. The one positive thing I can say is they mixed genres together in a way that is unique.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Feb 08 2024

This one was impossible to get through. Another album that is the musical equivalent of haphazardly splattering paint on a canvas and selling it for millions. I enjoyed the artistic lyrics and rhyme schemes until I tried to read and comprehend the nonsense lyrics. It's the kind of art that people pat themselves on the back for enjoying. Its halfway between the Skyrim soundtrack and a Shakespeare play with monologues that won't end. She has such an oddly accented, lispy way of singing for somebody with a totally normal American speaking voice. She does seem to be an impressive harp player from the videos I saw, but her popularity peaked 8 years ago and seems to have been understandably short lived.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 09 2024

This is my first time listening to Elvis. I liked it a lot but his singing style bothered me after a while. I did enjoy the variety of moods and instruments throughout.

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Feb 12 2024

Very groovy. A lot of tracks were missed in my opinion though. Got a bit monotonous.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Feb 13 2024

Loved a lot of this album. Lots of songs were middle of the road, but there are a couple seriously good ones

1999 by Prince
Feb 14 2024

A few of these songs are catchy, but that's the only positive thing I have to say. Every song is way too long. Prince's voice is over the top melodramatic and just sort of weird. My favorite was Lady Cab Driver until the sexual part ruined it.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Feb 15 2024

There are a couple obvious standout tracks in this album that I really liked. However, the rest of the album was just basic yacht rock to me. Not enjoyable nor unjoyable.

Feb 16 2024

Good old fashioned "yes, yes y'all" rap. Most of the beats are super boring The rhyme schemes aren't clever or interesting. Mama Said Knock You Out is a pretty good one. Lots of energy. I also liked the Farmer one. If a song with a boring beat like that is going to be 5 minutes long, it needs a catchy hook.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Feb 19 2024

Beautiful and haunting. Each song feels meticulously crafted and a chock full of emotion. This is the first album out of the 20 or so ever viewed that I'm actually glad to have discovered. It's interesting that Nick Drake is categorized as folk/rock. Doesn't seem to be anything rock about it except the guitar.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Feb 20 2024

Take Me Out is a certified street banger. That being said, none of the other songs shine as bright. Most got my foot tapping though. Maybe I was just enjoying the respite from artsy fartsy 10min 7 minute long songs on some of these other albums.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Feb 21 2024

This guy is the Insane Clown Posse of artistic, experimental bullshit

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Feb 22 2024

Leave it to critics to choose hot garbage made by absolute nobodys. A lot of the songs sound like they're made for kids? I just have no idea what I was supposed to feel listening to that. Uncomfortable. That's how I felt.

British Steel by Judas Priest
Feb 23 2024

This is the type of music that comes to mind when I think of "Rock". All of these songs are decent, but none of them are particularly memorable aside from Breaking The Law. The Old to be Wise song is pretty good too. I think it's funny how the album started out talking about breaking the law and then ends with patriotic praise of the thing that makes the law.

Feb 26 2024

Queen paints with all the colors on the palette. I really liked multiple songs in this album, most of which I'd never heard before. The worst songs on this album are better than the best songs on a lot of renowned rock albums, and it's older than a lot of them too, which is insane. Killer Queen is an absolute slapper.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Feb 27 2024

Every song is decent, but nothing is memorable. I'm sure the composition is genius in some technical ways that I don't understand, but Stevie just wasn't doing it for me this time.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
Feb 29 2024

Felt like a unique combo of punk rock and heavy metal. Something about the singing was off-putting to me. There was also some fun experimentalism to the instrumentation. I think there's plenty other rock that I would listen to before this.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Mar 01 2024

I really like the couple songs off this album, but a lot of the tracks felt like filler. I also didn't like how the vocals are so quiet in the mix, maybe that was just the style of the time.

Mar 04 2024

This is basically peak music right here. Queen basically created their own genre just for themselves. Their sound is so unique in the best way. That's an experimental tracks in there, but none of them really overstayed their welcome.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Mar 06 2024

Didn't hate most of this. Nothing stood out as something I need to listen to before I die. He sounded like Phil Collins if he was less talented.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Mar 07 2024

This album got my foot tappin'! I'm a sucker for that upbeat type of electronic percussion especially paired with that groovy/funk vibe they got going with the guitar. Also sick bass lines. I have no nostalgic feelings for this style of music, but somehow it all worked for me. It seemed like the band is self-aware of the silly/playful nature of the music. The songs are definitely too long though.

21 by Adele
Mar 08 2024

Almost every song of this album is a hit. The only one I didn't like very much is Don't You Remember, because it's a a little cheesy. She's also one of the best singers alive probly. If this doesn't deserve five stars, nothing does.

The White Album by Beatles
Mar 11 2024

This band has incredible range. They live up to the hype. Rock, swing, folk, blues, this album has all of it. With such a long album, a handful of the songs feel like throwaways. It's nonetheless impressive that they're able to write and perform in so many different genres. I would give us five stars, but the album as a whole felt disjointed because of the huge shift in style and mood between tracks. There are also some weird ones that not sure why they were included.

Mar 12 2024

Warning: hot take ahead! This kind of punk rock does not translate well to acoustic. The heavy distorted guitars tie together Kurt's raspy, strained vocals and give the music the energy it needs. I think completely restructured their instrumentation of the songs, maybe adding some more piano or strings or something, it would have worked for me. It's like they're trying to highlight Kurt's vocals over any instrument. His vocals are definitely not the highlight of Nirvana's music. Eerything just sounds sad and very slow. It literally sounds like a mediocre band that you might hear playing in the corner of a dive bar. Kurt was somehow able to develop an aura of illustrious musical genius after his death. IMO, if he didn't kill himself, his fame would have faded over the years and he wouldn't be more famous than 3 Doors Down or something. It also helps that he's hunky.

Hotel California by Eagles
Mar 13 2024

Incredible. Love the harmonies, awesome guitar riffs, easy listening. I've said it on a couple other albums, but this is peak music. Didn't know the Eagles were so good tbh.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Mar 14 2024

Creative? Yes. Technically impressive? Probably. Enjoyable listening? Not really. Most of the tracks sounded like emotional montage music from a 2000s action movie.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Mar 15 2024

Decent punk rock. Not sure what makes it more special than other alternative groups like The Strokes. The vocals bothered me at first but grew on me by the end.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Mar 18 2024

I'm sure there's something genius going on, but it's lost on me

Mar 19 2024

This music just gives me anxiety for some reason. Very talented musicians, but the sound is so frantic that I don't like it much.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Mar 21 2024

The obligatory "you've probably never heard of em" album.

Low by David Bowie
Mar 22 2024

There are a couple mildly catchy tracks, otherwise not much going for it. Something about the mix made everything run together.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Mar 25 2024

Policy of Truth isn't bad. The rest felt extremely bland. I recognized Personal Jesus, but this version is significantly worse than the radio hit we are all familiar with.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Mar 26 2024

I'm a sucker for this style of old soul. Reminds me of Sam Cook. And I love Sam Cook. Love this guy's singing style. I saw in his bio that inspired the Rolling Stones singer.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 27 2024

Very funky stuff. Loved the intricate percussion. Also interesting guitar riffs thoughout. Once in a Lifetime is a jam. A lot of the other tracks felt like filler though. Artsy weird stuff that I did not vibe with. As a whole it was meh.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 29 2024

Absolutely blasts.

Doolittle by Pixies
Apr 02 2024

Crazy how this album sounds like it came out in the late '90s. Has a seriously original sound that many artists seem to have copied and later years. That said, the album as a whole was a little more experimental than I prefer.

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
Apr 03 2024

This album fluctuated between basic indie and elevator music. Could not get into it.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Apr 04 2024

Definitely an original sound. Very modern structure with the quiet then loud parts. I enjoyed many tracks on this album. There are a few throw away songs as well, I couldn't stand the ones with the shaky voice at the end.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Apr 05 2024

I'm a big fan of both hip hop and blues, so I thought I would like this more. I did enjoy the first few songs a lot, but the songs all started the sound the same after a while. Cold Beverage is a slapper. They seem sort of like a one trick pony. Loved the style though, cool combination fo genres.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 08 2024

Catchy choruses, high energy, all together fun. None of the tracks felt like filler, and nothing was too experimental. Feels like they focused on making good sound. Loved the harmonies and layered vocals going on. If I discovered this in high school I would have been jamming it a lot.

Eagles by Eagles
Apr 09 2024

This album was way more basic than Hotel California. Sort of a normal classic rock sound through most of it. Without Take It Easy, it would only deserve three stars.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Apr 10 2024

Not a soft song in the bunch. Easiest 5 star album yet. Absolutely love the gritty vocals, super original sound, powerful guitar rhythms. This song had me on the edge of my seat to see what was coming next. I'm surprised this album is so old, I expected more like late 90s or 2000s.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 11 2024

I'm super biased on this one. There is a 6-month period when I played this album probably daily in Middle School. But gyat damn this album slaps. I sang along to every song. This time around I realized how complicated drums are, which seems to be a characteristic of alt rock. Every song is unique af from all the others. I could go on and on.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 12 2024

Production quality is horrible on this one. The vocals were also annoying. Each song felt weirdly unstructured.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 15 2024

I guess the blue rock sound was pioneered by these guys. The problem is I'm not a fan of blues rock, probably because so many later bands sound exactly the same as this. It sounds great for a live album, but it just doesn't keep my interest very well. The last song was my favorite because it embraces the sort of background ambient music lane that the genre seems geared toward.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Apr 16 2024

Muddy has a good voice. I just can't get past how similar all the songs sound.

Apr 17 2024

Can't decide how I feel about this. The songs are super long, which can be good or bad depending on the song. The upbeat ones got me goin'. I added a couple to my cooking playlist. But as a whole it was meh.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Apr 18 2024

Having a hard time putting into words why I don't like this album. It sounded kind of like a less interesting Plain White Tees or Relient K. The breathy vocals put me off as well.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Apr 19 2024

I liked the folky vocal harmonies. Pretty easy listening in general. Yacht rock esque.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 22 2024

Mowed the lawn with this album going. 10/10 would recommend. Not a bad song in the bunch. They mastered the classic rock and roll sound while mixing in blues and country in unique and memorable ways. Every song has a life of it's own. This is probably in my top 10 albums that I can listen to straight through.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 23 2024

This album is very much a mixed bag. There are some obvious bangers, but some definite duds as well. The good ones are REALLY good. Hence 4 stars.

Bad Company by Bad Company
Apr 24 2024

Great vocals. they have a simple, clean sound. This album has sleepy Hozier level of energy, which I found doesn't match with the electric guitar riffs and other rock music trappings when they're basically singing ballads.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Apr 25 2024

Super unique blend of pop rock and reggae. Immediately recognizable and wholly creative. The song seemed to drag on and had a weird structure that I couldn't vibe with.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Apr 26 2024

These guys took everything I don't like about rock and blues and put them into one album. The songs are slow and repetitive, and sort of predictable. Riders on the Storm is a decent song.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Apr 29 2024

It's like listening to a rock musical. But a good one.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Apr 30 2024

They do a good job of having a full sound with only a few instruments. Also they do have an original sound, even if it gets bland quickly.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 01 2024

This is definitely what the druggo guy from The Breakfast Club listens to

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
May 02 2024

Unfortunately, cool drum rhythms does not good music make.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
May 06 2024

Very cool sound. Disjointed at times.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
May 08 2024

If anybody else in the whole world was singing this might be a decent album

May 16 2024

Very experimental, but a lot of the tracks sounded good/interesting enough to keep me entertained. It's a wholly unique experience. Like watching a indie movie or something. I understand why druggies would like this.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
May 17 2024

Literally just videogame music. Was probably very cool in the 70s.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
May 20 2024

No idea why this is included in the 1001, but it's not bad. A little repetitive.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
May 21 2024

Some of the best ever rock songs are on this album. The last couple songs were misses for me, but I'm sticking with the 5 stars because the good ones are REAL good.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
May 22 2024

Large variety, catchy stuff. Good stuff as far as pop goes.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
May 23 2024

Interesting large orchestral sound. Somehow none of the tracks are memorable.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 27 2024

Great sound for a punk trio. Maps is a great song. The vocals were pretty annoying in some of these songs. I guess she's too punk for me.

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
May 28 2024

A few of the songs dragged for me, mostly bangers. Good Times Bad Times is basically drum porn.

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
May 29 2024

Didn't make it through most of these songs. Very unenjoyable listening.

Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
May 30 2024

The "spread like strawberries" song lowkey slapped. For Her had some sick harmonizing. The rest was very hipster-experimental, occasionally in a good way, but mostly in a bad way.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 31 2024

Reveals the true power of ann electric drum track

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 03 2024

I was surprised by how much I disliked the tracks that weren't recognizable bangers. But the good songs are REAL good

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jun 04 2024

I only enjoyed one track on this album. I'll let you guess which one. The rest are borderline boring. I do have a urge to wear jeans and a leather jacket now though.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jun 05 2024

Basically every track is either boring or unlistenable. The guitar riffs are almost cool enough to award 2 stars. Almost. The monotone, off key singing is just unbearable to me. Also, I don't appreciate starting a song with 30 seconds of silence.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jun 06 2024

Pleasant listening all the way through. It's a pretty sleepy album, but Sparks, Yellow and Trouble are super solid songs imo.

Sunshine Hit Me by The Bees
Jun 07 2024

I made the mistake of listening to this while tired and sick WFH. Loved the sound, but I would need to be in a very specific mood for it. Great for background music while cleaning or working.

Jun 10 2024

Coldplay gets a bad rap for being basic soft rock, but I think they have some decent songwriting going on. There's a reason it's such a crowd pleaser. I think this album has enough hits on it to earn it four stars.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jun 11 2024

Solid rock album. The songs immediately put me in a good mood. There's nothing super unique about it, but all together it's a solid album.

Jun 12 2024

Most of the songs are just unpleasant, angsty noise. This must be how my dad felt listening to my music growing up. I might have liked this album if the production quality wasn't complete garbage.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 13 2024

Basically the Talking Heads meets The Killers. If this came out in 1988 I would be impressed.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jun 14 2024

Tough to rate this one. All the songs are fairly solid but almost every song is cover of a more talented black artist. Weird they did that for a self titled album. The original songs are basically trash.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 17 2024

The vocals started to bother me toward the back half of the album. There are a couple really good tracks on here, but the stinkers brought it down for me.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jun 18 2024

Another album full of covers that aren't as good as the originals. It did get my foot tapping though.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jun 19 2024

Easy 5 stars. Every song is unique, fresh and most are catchy. No artsy bull crap. Straight for the point, enjoyable.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 26 2024

These guys had a fresh spin on the blues rock sound. I like the sort of jam band feel, organize chaos. A couple of the songs were unique enough to stand out, but some of them just did nothing for me at all.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 29 2024

This is a tough one. There are a couple classics in here, but those weren't my favorite tracks. Maybe it's because I've heard them too many times. I also felt uncomfortable with all the horny-ness. A whole song about his amazing dick was pretty off-putting and juvenile. It sounded like somebody who has never had sex wrote that song to prove a point. And then the skit that followed actually grossed me out. The whole braggedocious nature of the album doesn't come across in the popular songs. It just felt over the top as a whole. Oh and the misogyny was excessive as well. With that said, there are some legitimate boppers on here and I enjoy some of his creative lyricism.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jul 30 2024

Just reminded me of Neil Young, in that the music itself is nice but the vehicles are very distracting and unpleasant. The songs have a interesting structure and the lyrics seem probably artistic and meaningful. Most of that was drowned out by Bob Dylan sounding like a caricature of himself.

Debut by Björk
Jul 31 2024

I like the part where it sounds like she corners you at a party and starts speaking tongues. There's absolutely no question what decade this album came from. It sounds like the music at a rave in a Sci-Fi movie. Like a classy rave for the elites in society. I really enjoyed the first track but they're all basically the same. I actually really like her voice.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 01 2024

Love it. Not every song is a bangor, but they are all unique and there are lots of good'ns.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Aug 02 2024

I guess we were letting any body get famous in the 90s. This is the sound I expect to hear when my uncle's cover band starts writing originals. Dude sounds like he's singing with his nose plugged. The only redeeming quality is that some of these songs could sound decent if another band covered them.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Aug 05 2024

Bangers all the way through. My one complaint is that there are lots of horny lyrics in here.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Aug 07 2024

Super annoyed by this one. They're clearly great musicians, but they insist on adding a bunch of bullshit noise to sift through before the music starts. So much potential squandered.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Aug 08 2024

Rocked all the way through. Has all the best qualities of rock.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
Aug 09 2024

Altogether monotonous. Too much noise happening at the same time in most tracks. Favorite song: Plan 9 Channel 7

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Aug 13 2024

Really showcases how good ol drums and electric guitar can get the job done. I also like the anti-war sentiments throughout. There are some stinkers in the middle of the album, but I don't think they're bad enough to knock it down to four stars.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Aug 14 2024

Pretty crazy this album came out in the '70s. It sounds like it's from the 80s or 90s. I loved what they do with the beachy guitar sounds. The vocals are weird but for the most part endearing. Favorite song was Pull Up

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Aug 15 2024

The first two tracks are absolute classics. Most of the other ones got my foot tapping. Full album is imminently listenable.

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Aug 16 2024

A few tracks have that daft punk quality where they repetitive yet catchy. But all together their sound just isn't original to me. If this album came out in the 90s I would be more impressed. Also, every song was WAY too long. Maybe it's a European thing.

Aja by Steely Dan
Aug 19 2024

They clearly have a very talented group of musicians. Somehow all the songs sounded the same? I didn't know Steely Dan was a jazz group basically. The repetitive nature of the ridiculously long songs had a lullaby effect on me. Sort of like elevator music.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 20 2024

Somehow, best guitar riffs don't impress me much. This kind of rock starts to bore me pretty fast. Metallica definitely pioneered the sound, but it's not one I particularly like.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Aug 21 2024

Little funky, little jazzy, altogether nice on the ears. I'm a sucker for those layered vocal harmonies. Some of the songs are freaking long.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Aug 22 2024

Amazing they had the sound in the '60s. Sort of a alt Rock sound that stands out as unique to me. Lots of recognizable songs in this album. stepping stone is a banger. There are also some misses. I don't like the girl in the fourth row song at all.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Aug 23 2024

It's almost like this dude formed his own genre of music. Orchestral folk pop. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Some of it came off like Disney movies soundtrack or something. But I absolutely loved One Of These Things First, it still had the intricate interwoven melodies, but it also had a sort of typical song structure and it also didn't over stay it's welcome. Sunday is also pretty to listen to. Pretty sleepy album altogether though.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Aug 26 2024

Nothing to complain about here. Decently groovy with some good vocals. Nothing stood out as great though.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Aug 27 2024

American Scum is pretty good. That's about it.

The White Room by The KLF
Aug 28 2024

Sounds like somebody made this in their bedroom.

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 29 2024

These guys have a distinct sound of Rock with spooky organ keys mixed in. It reminds you Halloween or something. Maybe it's the time of year. Mostly songs are slow and sleepy. And the recognizable ones are sort of worn out and immediately bland halfway through the song.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Aug 30 2024

In the 80s this album might be acceptable. And the 2010s it's absolute trash.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Sep 02 2024

A few decent blues songs here, but I can't stand some of the nonsense lyrics and Bob's voice in general.

Ramones by Ramones
Sep 03 2024

These guys don't beat around the bush. Straight to the rock. Love the energy. My only complaint is that it's sort of a one-note album.

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 04 2024

Another example of where the music is fine but the vocals are unbearable. Like Neil Young.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Sep 05 2024

Little bluesy, little funky. Crazy how modern this album sounds. A lot of it is slow and sleepy for my liking but in general not bad.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 06 2024

Surprised by the production quality on this since it came out of the '70s.

Stankonia by OutKast
Sep 10 2024

Creative and super catchy. Didn't know what to expect with each song which is cool.

Sep 11 2024

I expected to like this more.. there's so many lyrics it's like they didn't give the songs room to breathe. The rhyme schemes and production quality were both way worse than Nas, which I felt like I was constantly comparing them to because of the sound similarity. The voices were kind of muddled with the beat too. The little intros where they're just talking and stuff are pretty cringy. The old movie sound bites also felt forced. The songs were all extremely similar in tempo and tone.

One World by John Martyn
Sep 12 2024

Nice jazzy sound, nice melodies. The vocals were generally off-putting.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Sep 13 2024

Thoroughly enjoyed this all the way through. I love the male female harmonies. This guy is described as the father of country rock, but I didn't see as much Rock influence as folk and country. Maybe my concept of country has rock elements in it.

Sep 16 2024

I love otis's voice and I grooved all the way through the album, but I don't like albums completely full of covers. A lot of the songs he covered are done better by the original artists.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Sep 17 2024

I liked the upbeat African influences. Didn't enjoy the repetitiveness. The goofy lyrics and cadence is charming at first but gets old.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Sep 18 2024

As far as obscure African albums go, this one is probably fine. No idea how to write something like this. I have no concept of how to compare it to others in the same genre. So I'm going to rate based off how much I liked it. Glad I listened while doing chores because listening to this while driving would have been a much work experience.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Sep 19 2024

Kendrick is generally considered the lyrical, insightful rapper of our generation. It upsets me because there's so many other artists making Hip Hop with more meaningful themes and subjects. Some of the songs were so full of nonsensical, abstract lyrics that it was difficult to follow exactly what was being communicated. There was a mix of profound ideas side by side with run of the mill sex drugs and money songs. With that being said, this album definitely deserves five stars. It has so many bangers and the production quality and style are fresh and unique. There was a consistent Jazzy undertone that worked really well with the different beats.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Sep 20 2024

All together solid album. The last three tracks at the end drag it down to four star territory. Nothing exactly innovating going on here.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Sep 24 2024

This one is tough to rate. There are two or three songs I really enjoyed, but it seemed like they went for quantity over quality here. Most of the tracks are formulaic and lost my interest pretty quick.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Sep 25 2024

They did some really interesting stuff with electric guitars. Showed the instrument's versatility to the fullest. Sometimes the amount of wild guitar noise was distracting. That one song where he sounded like the AC/DC guy was ewwy. All together not bad. Wouldn't listen again though.

Black Metal by Venom
Sep 26 2024

Goth kids in the '80s probably ate this shit up. All the hell, satan, demon talk got old reeeally fast. Every song sounded so similar and repetitive. There were a couple cool guitar solos, but that's it Also the production quality is absolute trash. Maybe that's just the style of the music. I'm sure Venom was genre-defining in the 80s, but this album does not hold up today imo.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Sep 27 2024

Not much there to keep my interest. Again, to do some interesting stuff with guitars. That's the only redeeming quality.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Sep 30 2024

So crazy to me that these guys were making absolute boppers in the 60s

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Oct 01 2024

Love the diverse array of instruments and super fun percussion. Some of the songs are longer than they need to be and others are just repetitive. Altogether a fun album.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Oct 02 2024

Randy has a real knack for writing pithy little songs. Some are hits, some are misses. All of them sort of wistful.

Beautiful Freak by Eels
Oct 03 2024

Like a lot of The melodies, but I'ddescribe most of the tracks as boring. I also don't like the vocals at all. Mostly just forgettable email alternative to me.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Oct 04 2024

Production quality is so terrible it's impossible to judge the music itself. Sounds like I'm hearing it through a cell phone speaker.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Oct 07 2024

Absolute snoozefest. Basic guitar rhythms + pretentious artsy lyrics. The dude is barely singing.

Play by Moby
Oct 08 2024

So damn repetitive. Three or four of the tracks got my foot tapping but I got sick of them halfway through. Second half of the album is absolute trash.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Oct 09 2024

Pretty and relaxing! Also boring. I'd have to be in a very specific mood to listen to this.

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Oct 10 2024

Pretty basic indie rock. I didn't like how the vocals were mixed so much louder than the guitars and stuff since the vocals were the worst part. Ian is going to love this one.

The Bends by Radiohead
Oct 11 2024

I like the songs that were fast-paced and rock-ish. Not a fan of the slower stuff, too much angst for me.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 14 2024

Imagine going to a dire straits concert and sitting through 45 minutes of lullabies to hear Money For Nothing

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 15 2024

The good ones are really good in the bad ones are really boring

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 16 2024

Generic blues-rock to me. Nothing stands out as especially unique. La Grange blasts tho.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Oct 17 2024

I like that I didn't know what to expect from song to song. I didn't like the goofy vocals and whatever that foreign language was. A lot of those songs started to get repetitive also.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Oct 18 2024

I couldn't stop thinking about how much they're like a shittier version of the Kooks

Queen II by Queen
Oct 21 2024

Queen never fails to be unique and surprising. This isn't my favorite Queen album. The production quality is worse than usual, but still beats the best album by a lot of other bands.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Oct 22 2024

Paul Simon's voice is always recognizable, but his music style is pretty much amorphous. He seems like a true artist who follows the sound wherever it leads him. The one through line is "folk". I really enjoyed the blues songs and obviously loved Julio. Didn't like some of the slower stuff.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Oct 23 2024

Paul has a very unique style but it's not one that I enjoy. It's got too much 80s vibes and slow songs for my taste. But I do appreciate the variety he mixed in here. He writes some pretty guitar melodies.

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Oct 24 2024

Critics can sincerely go fuck themselves

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Oct 25 2024

I like sampled music, but this stuff is simply too repetitive for me. I need some more structure or somebody rapping verses over the top of it too mix things up. Makes me feel like I'm going crazy. It might be a better listen if I was doing dishes or something.

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 28 2024

I feel extremely apathetic toward this album. I wonder if they intentionally bookended the album with their best songs. Idk how every song felt too long even tho they were only like 3 minutes long each.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 29 2024

I like the harmonizing vocal melodies, but they also sounded the same from song to song. They sort of felt like a one-trick pony, each track has the same sort of instrumentation and structure. Maybe if I loved repetitive grungy electric guitars chords I would love this album. Fav song was Rain When I Die.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Oct 30 2024

Okay these guys shred. Catchy choruses, sick guitar solos, vocals that don't suck, and it didn't seem like they were trying to pass off the covers as their own song. Almost every song is a hit. Atomic punk is the only song I didn't like. This is classic rock at its best.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Oct 31 2024

I don't know much about jazz so I'm just going to break the space on how much I enjoyed it. My only real complaint is that some of the improvisation was more frantic than I would have preferred. Miles Davis's parts were always smooth as butter tho.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 01 2024

Most songs are the exact same formula with slight variation. This album could be three songs long and would probably get a better rating without the feeling of redundancy.

The Score by Fugees
Nov 04 2024

Beats are fairly bland and lyrically nothing unique going on. Lots of better hip hop albums from the 90s. The covers were kind of annoying too. My fav track is Family Business.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Nov 05 2024

This is probably as good as the blues gets for me. I like the big band sound and there's plenty of variety even though it all sticks to the blues theme. King's guitar solos are cool as well.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Nov 06 2024

Album started out strong they got worse with each song. Tom Sawyer is a clear standout.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Nov 07 2024

I like the variety and that I couldn't predict what would come next. The vocals are pretty annoying and ruin a lot of the tracks. Interesting mix of 60s rock and elements of blues. Definitely unique. I really like the song I'm Glad. The whole record is in need of a remaster.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Nov 08 2024

Classy and surprisingly relaxing. They're not doing anything mind boggling but the simplicity is refreshing.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Nov 11 2024

I like their sound but nothing stood out as memorable for some reason.

Sunday At The Village Vanguard by Bill Evans Trio
Nov 12 2024

This is exactly the kind of jazz I like. Super chill yet upbeat. Can get your foot tapping or calm you down. The instruments are well balanced and the improvisation is dynamic but not overwhelming.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Nov 13 2024

This is a pretty enjoyable listen. It's difficult to categorize these guys into a genre. Bonnie sounds like it could have been released this year, it's a slapper. Iconic line "I'm turkey hungry, I'm chicken free".

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Nov 14 2024

Nice easy listening. I wasn't a big fan of her stream of consciousness lyrics sometimes. I really dig that '70s folk Pop style.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Nov 15 2024

Halfway through the album I realized it's from 1998 and not 1978 or something. I enjoyed the funky songs well enough. The vocals are very front and center I didn't particularly like them. It's hard for me to give a star rating foreign music so I'm just going to go with my gut.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 19 2024

Really only enjoyed the two recognizable songs. The whiney vocals are difficult to get past. The grungy guitars only worked sometimes for me.

Nov 20 2024

Stop Me If is the only song I enjoyed. Weird combination of bouncy rhythm and melodramatic vocals. I did like the way the layered guitars sounded throughout.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Nov 21 2024

These guys straddle perfectly between folksy and rockish. I thoroughly enjoyed the upbeat songs. I did not enjoy the slow songs at all.

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 22 2024

The most positive thing I can say is that there are some listenable sections.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Nov 25 2024

Lots of long, drawn out songs. Some were much too sleepy for me. One obvious stand-out. I honestly didn't really like any of the other tracks. Majority were meh, a few are just boring. Ten minutes of silence in the last song sealed it's 3-star fate.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Nov 26 2024

I'm pretty biased because I love this style of hip hop. This album is proof that you don't need anything fancy to make enjoyable music. Just a beat with crispy drums and some smooth lyrics over top. I like artists that start with what sounds good and work backwards to make music out of it.

Real Life by Magazine
Feb 04 2025

75% of the album is absolute trash. Annoyed I had to listen to this one. There are about 3 tracks I didn't hate.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 05 2025

They got so experimental that they almost made music

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Feb 06 2025

Action Bronson definitely stole the guy's voice. I loved a couple songs but hated most of them. RAGU and Be Easy have such solid beats that you can say pretty much anything and it would sound good. That being said, I didn't care for Ghostface's flow in general. It felt like he said a lot without saying much somehow. It's a difficult one to rate for me.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 07 2025

Big band music rocks. Enjoyable all the way through.

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 10 2025

I only really enjoyed the two recognizable songs here. But even those are a bit repetitive for me. Nothing glaringly unpleasant, but also nothing that I enjoyed very much.

Feb 11 2025

Schizoid Man blasts so hard that I was able to look past all the super experimental BS in the latter tracks. I Talk isn't bad either. The drums have that awesome tempered 70s sound that I love.

Feb 12 2025

Definitely a product of the year it was produced. Some of the skit tracks are so cringy they made me chuckle. I'm generally not a fan of hip-hop beats without somebody rapping a verse, they tend to get repetitive. A handful of these tracks managed to keep my foot tapping regardless, with simple yet catchy beats that make good background music. Very torn over this album as a whole. Just going with my gut here.

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Feb 13 2025

All around solid album. 100% of the songs got my foot tapping and were pretty catchy. Nothing stood out as a definite hit, but this level of consistently good songs in a single album is rare.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Feb 14 2025

Oh this? Yeah it's by Mekons, you probably haven't heard of em.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Feb 17 2025

This is a tough one to rate. Doorbell is a certified banger, along with probably Denial Twist and Instinct Blues. But they also mixed in some balads and funky ones that felt like filler. I really enjoy the simplicity use to make awesome sound.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 18 2025

Literally packed full of iconic tracks. I admit it got a little tiresome listing straight through the album. Also I think I'm getting too old for stereotypical rap lyrics.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Feb 19 2025

I'm really not a fan of R&B, but these really did get my foot tapping. Made for good background music while working. Would not be as good on a roadtrip. Sort of repetitive from track to track. Altogether though I was vibing.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Feb 20 2025

Very sleepy album. Relaxing but also boring. I really don't understand why Willie Nelson is famous.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Feb 21 2025

I enjoy the simplicity of the instrumentation and the pretty guitar plucking. I'm a big fan of singer-songwriter stuff. The melodies were oddly meandering in this album and not many felt structured enough or something. I was honestly just bored through most of it. Surprised by how little I enjoyed this. Very lullabyish

Feb 24 2025

This is an easy 5 stars for me. Incredible vocals and it lives at the intersection of rock and roll, funk, big band, and Motown. It's like this album was cooked up in a lab to tickle my eardrums. Some of the songs went a little long but I enjoyed them all the way through. The few of the songs toward the end also sounded too similar. Altogether tho it slapped and magically improved my mood.

The Band by The Band
Feb 25 2025

Interesting folksy style. The vocals weirded me out. Very Randy Newman. And the harmonies fell flat for me. I only really liked cripple creek, and that's mostly because of the drums.

Electric Music For The Mind And Body by Country Joe & The Fish
Feb 26 2025

Enjoyed the twangy guitar licks. Every slow song sucked, and any songs that had the organ in it wete no bueno. I don't feel bad rating it poorly because almost nobody listens to this artist.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 27 2025

Weird melodramatic singing. Pretty generic rock generally. Not Bruce's best.

Lost Souls by Doves
Feb 28 2025

Who album felt like background music, but like sad background music. Not sure when you would ever want to listen to this. Didn't like that the lyrics were relegated to the back of the mix so you don't really hear them.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 03 2025

This is another artist whose level of Fame I just don't understand. This genre should be right up by alley. He seems like a great musician and songwriter but the purposeful stylized, dissonant singing absolutely kills me. I really enjoyed the single song in the album where he decided to sing on pitch all the way through: Meet Me in the Morning.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Mar 04 2025

Halfway through I realize this album wasn't released in the 80s. Really put a damper on my enthusiasm. I wanted to hate the whole album but I couldn't. Red Eyes is a banger. I bought the long pretty good to a couple others. And general I didn't mind the excessive length of the songs. It's somehow fit the style. In general though I didn't like the vocals, they sounded like Bob Dylan crossed with Paul Simon and drowned in reverb. Also kind of pissed that they had a whole song of just ephemeral ambience.

Drunk by Thundercat
Mar 05 2025

Friend Zone slaps. Them Changes is pretty good. The whole rest of the album is fun but not at all enjoyable to listen to. It all sounds the dang same. Specifically the vocals. Very tiresome.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Mar 06 2025

Very generic metal to my ears. I'm sure they were pioneers of the sound and everything but I just can't get behind it. Indians wasn't bad for the first half or so. There's almost no bass in the mix of this whole album. Odd choice.

Mar 07 2025

Basically one lullaby after another. I need some more coffee before I listen to another Lana del Rey album. The whispery and mumbly vocals got annoying after a while. Every song sounded the same, I can't distinguish between them at all. Exact same tone, peace and subject matter.

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 10 2025

Definitely a one-hit-wonder artist. I thoroughly enjoyed Common People. His horny whisper voice made me laugh a few times. Legendary line: "I've kissed your mother twice and now I'm working on your dad." I liked the orchestral sound in a couple of the songs, added some depth. If this was released in the 80s it would get 3 stars.

Mar 11 2025

Big Iron and El Paso are classics. Some of the songs are sleepy but I appreciate the simplicity and stellar vocals.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 12 2025

Bunch of songs are way too long. The slow ones were putting me to sleep toward the end. Did enjoy the originality though. She's basically a more punky Regina Spektor.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Mar 13 2025

Sounded like I was shopping in one of those boutiques downtown that charges $200 for a blouse. But seriously I just can't get down with repetitive music like this. Each track is interesting for the first minute or so. By minute 5 I'm losing my mind. Fav track was Epoca.

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Mar 14 2025

Solid album. Love punk energy and had some pretty sweet guitar solos. Nothing exactly revolutionary going on here, but it made my ears happy.

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Mar 17 2025

These guys have a unique alternative style. Keep The Car Running is a great song. In general the album has a little angsty and nostalgic feel to it. Some of the songs really seem to drag. Not sure when I would ever want to listen to this, but it's not terrible. I feel sort of neutral about it.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Mar 18 2025

I just get so bored of this stuff after like 20 min. The sort of meandering nature isn't my thing. I like more structure i guess. Even if it's just like each guy solo-ing for a while around a common melodic theme. Something to tie stuff together.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 19 2025

Mostly boring and or unpleasant to listen to. 90s trance is definitely not my thing. Maybe if I was running or doing the dishes?

Mar 20 2025

I was going to say she's basically female Kurt cobain, but then I looked it up and found out she was married to him at one time haha. Love the rage and the angst in these songs. Enjoyed the aggressive vocals as well. There are a few sleepy tracks near the end of the album, but lots had me banging my head. Fav track was Plump.

Nixon by Lambchop
Mar 21 2025

So much potential ruined by god-awful singing. The jazzy style with strings and horns on top got me going. Then the dude opens his mouth. Who Could It Be could be an incredible track. I was literally laughing at his singing. What a shame.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Mar 24 2025

Fairly typical classic rock. Definitely sounded way newer than 1970. Didn't like when it devolved into the cacophony of sound occasionally. Overall not bad. Got my toe tapping sometimes.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 25 2025

Vocals are obviously the highlight here. Got a little tired of the singing style toward the end of the album, but generally really enjoyed it. Also some of the tracks toward the end were a bit lame but the front half of the album is pretty great. Definitely a unique voice that makes you want to hear more.

Mar 26 2025

Classic soul right here. Aretha's voice is smooth as butter on these songs. Sultry where she needs to be and powerful when you want her to be. The slower tracks are my least favorite as usual but even those were good. This album will make its way into my cooking playlist.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Mar 27 2025

For an album where the lyrics are the highlight, they sure lost them in the mix. I had to blast the volume just to make out what anybody was saying. The beats are pretty repetitive if you can't enjoy the lyrics. I usually love dark and gritty New York rap. Some might say I'm a sucker for it. But geez this was a huge miss for me. Fav track was Shadowboxin'.

God Save The Queen absolutely blasts. Problems is good too. Some of the tracks are a little monotonous, especially when listening straight through the album. I felt like the weird vocals worked well in some songs but not others. Sometimes it was just distracting. That's pretty amazing this album came out of 1977, it would sound right at home in the 90s. Loved the aggressive energy and other tracks were phoned in. I understand why this is a classic punk album. My biggest gripe is the muddy mixing, but again it was the '70s.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 31 2025

Had a pretty modern pop sound. Like a Billie eilish precursor. Didn't enjoy the weird experimental aspects. I feel pretty neutral all together about it.

Harvest by Neil Young
Apr 01 2025

This would be a really good album if anybody else was singing. I bet there are some good covers of these songs. Old Man and Heart of Gold are pretty decent songs.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Apr 02 2025

These guys got so close to making good music. For the 1960s, these guys do sound very modern. The story book narrating was really annoying and ruined what could have been a couple good tracks. Love the drums in a few.

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Apr 03 2025

All together pretty boring. The horns added a little pizzazz but not enough to make it interesting. Found myself skipping every song before it finished. Also didn't like the singer. Sounded like an Elvis caricature.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 04 2025

Love this lady's voice. I got bored of some of the longer songs before they finished. Very pretty piano melodies throughout. It bothers me that they picked her least popular album, as usual.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 07 2025

Probably the best, most iconic live album ever

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 08 2025

I feel extremely neutral toward this album. Sort of has that modern indie / alternative sound. Wake Up is obviously the standout track.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Apr 09 2025

Very unique blend of folk, rock and foreign influences. I enjoyed the complicated string melodies. They have some talented guitarists in their troupe. I like the last couple songs the most because they didn't sound like they're from medieval times. I appreciate this music for what it is but I don't know when I would ever have occasion to listen to it.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 10 2025

I really wanted to hate this album but just couldn't do it. It struck a good balance of enjoyable hip Hop and solid Rock. The lyrics are absolute cringe. The tracks are all pretty similar in theme and tone, mostly painting kid Rock as a rock and roll gangster badass. Each track was unique enough to stand out. Very few misses.

Music by Madonna
Apr 11 2025

Could basically guess the release year off the electro-pop elements, which were mostly cringe. Some of the buzzing and beeping is straight up unpleasant in the ears. What It Feels Like is a pretty good track.

1984 by Van Halen
Apr 14 2025

Classic rock done right. Multiple serious classics in this album. My only complaint is the last couple songs felt a little phoned in. Pretty cool guitar solos if you are into that.

Be by Common
Apr 15 2025

The Corner and They Say go mega hard. I like the sampled beats a lot. The vocal samples are annoying as hell though. Common has some sweet rhyme schemes where he will stick with the same rhyme for a whole verse which is pretty impressive. Especially when he's actually saying stuff is not just drugs and money. The lyrics also tend to be sort of preachy though, he literally compares himself to Jesus at one point. All together , solid album but I don't think it quite deserves five stars.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Apr 16 2025

Pretty cool to hear such a modern sound come out of the '70s. The singing is pretty good and the music is all together pleasing to the ear. It's largely similar sounding and repetitive, but I think that's a feature of reggae and not a bug.

American Pie by Don McLean
Apr 17 2025

Beautiful songwriting and vocals. I'm a sucker for this style of folk music. Awesome piano and guitar melodies. The heartfelt ones hit home without being cheesy.

Odelay by Beck
Apr 18 2025

Lots of creative weirdness going on. I enjoyed the percussion and a few of these songs. Definitely didn't know what to expect next. Too much filler to get four stars.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Apr 21 2025

A very hit or miss. the recognizable tracks are pretty good. I can bop along to Ironic and a couple others that are catchy and the vocals aren't too obnoxious. About half the tracks are just unenjoyable mostly because of the wacky singing.

Damaged by Black Flag
Apr 23 2025

Rise Above is decent. The rest sounds identical and I just can't deal with those shitty vocals.

Apr 24 2025

There's a handful of mosh worthy songs on here. They got in early on that 2000s metal sound. Really not my favorite genre.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Apr 25 2025

There are a couple of bangers in this album. Lots of throwaway tracks as well which was annoying.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Apr 28 2025

The bluesy songs a pretty boring to me. I did enjoy the sound of the more rock and roll stuff.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Apr 29 2025

Consistently interesting and fresh. Nothing stood out as a hit necessarily, but it felt like serious thought was put into each song. Large variety throughout as well.

White Ladder by David Gray
Apr 30 2025

Really interesting mix of electronic, pop, and folk music, but it's singer-songwriter all the way through. Very unique sound and lots of catchy choruses. Great variety of sound too. I honestly have no complaints.

Is This It by The Strokes
May 01 2025

Consistently boppable. Catchy guitar melodies. Sort of a consistent style, but I wasn't bored. I didn't like the songs where he sounds like he's singing through a walkie-talkie.

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
May 02 2025

Not bad for a electro-trance type album. Songs went long sometimes. Didn't hate it but didn't like it much either. Not a fan of drum n' bass stuff really. Mirrorball might have been my favorite song.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
May 05 2025

I'm no shrink, but I think Snoop Dogg has some sort of complex. The skits are all mega cringe about how cool and hot he is. The beats are cool I guess but they get old and the lyrics aren't especially witty or interesting. Gin and Juice if the clear standout but I've heard it so many times that the magic is lost. there's no chance you could forget what artist you're listening to because he said it's name like a million times by the end. Very similar experience to the Biggie album.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 06 2025

Music is regular, nothing special blues. Her voice is kind of interesting and enjoyable at the beginning but got pretty annoying toward the end. Wouldn't say I'm a fan.

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 07 2025

The best I can say is two songs don't suck.

Leftism by Leftfield
May 08 2025

This would be really good for 1992

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
May 09 2025

High highs and low lows on this one. Some of the samples got pretty annoying. There are a couple bangers at the beginning of the album though.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 12 2025

Little boring to be honest. Sort of a generic rock and roll '70s sound, I'm sure they're one of The originators though.

May 14 2025

Cowboy Movie absolutely rocks. The other tracks are pretty as well, but they generally beat around the bush too much.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
May 15 2025

Not a fan of this lady's voice. Can't really put my finger on why. It's otherwise basic R&B which

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
May 20 2025

Tons of memorable tracks. Very unique sound, love these guys.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 21 2025

Lots of top tier songs in this album. And the man can sing. I like the complexity of some of the compositions.

May 23 2025

A middling album. Grounds is the only track I full enjoyed. Lots of boring tracks. They do have a unique sound which is cool.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 26 2025

I really enjoyed the funky percussion driven songs. So many artsy throwaway tracks drag down what could have been a decent album.

May 27 2025

The problem with repetitive music like this is if it's not done perfectly it's really annoying. There are a couple obvious boppers in here, but altogether I found the album obnoxious. He made some really catchy loops, but a four second loop for six straight minutes will get pretty annoying no matter what.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
May 28 2025

I'm 90% sure my grandpa used to have a record of theirs. Huge fan of the harmonizing vocals. Unfortunately, if you hear one you've heard them all. Very consistently relaxing and easy to listen to. It also a little sleepy and boring.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
May 29 2025

A Forest is the only good instrumental imo. The songs with vocals are pretty decent.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 30 2025

Little poppy, little chaotic. The songs are generally too long. Not a fan of the singing style. I feel pretty indifferent overall.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jun 02 2025

Consistently catchy and pleasing to the ears. The washy sound is unique and doesn't get annoying. Not quite five star worthy but thoroughly enjoyable.

Boston by Boston
Jun 03 2025

Easiest review ever.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Jun 04 2025

Love those 70s drums. Didn't mind the psychedelic aspects but the experimental goofy tracks bothered me. Also the vocals are pretty bad throughout. Really enjoyed the few good songs there are though. Tough one to rate.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 05 2025

Wow I really did not like this. Spoonman and obviously Black Hole Sun are decent. The slow emo songs I just can't handle. Not really sure why this late 90s, early 2000s rock sound makes me cringe.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jun 06 2025

Great listening all the way through. Punk yet popy and melodic. Not a bad track in the bunch.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 09 2025

Groovy with great vocals, what more could you want? The songs all did sound very similar, that's my one complaint.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 10 2025

Pretty crazy this was released in 1969. Dude was into something, sounds like it could have been recorded 5 years ago. That said, there are lots of snoozers in this album.

Jun 11 2025

I like the simplicity of the guitar and drum combo. The singing is trash. Drums are pretty cool. Nothing super memorable here.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Amazing that they decided to put the worst Beach Boys album on the list. The protest song is pretty great. The rest is depressing and boring.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jun 16 2025

Nothing really set out to me. Not a big fan of the singing. Down to the Well was good.

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jun 17 2025

Not the most exciting jazz I've ever heard. Nice and chill. Trumpet player is good. Sort of flat to me though. Good background music for a coffee shop or something.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 18 2025

Pretty solid album. Seems like hard work was put into each song. Consistent feel throughout but not boring.

Close To You by Carpenters
Jun 19 2025

Started strong but the formula played itself out by the end. Love the style though. I'm a sucker for this 70s sound. Far too many lame tracks to get above 3 stars.

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 20 2025

Who is this music for?

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jun 23 2025

Pretty good stuff. The drums really carried it for me. Solid throughout, got a little sleepier toward the end.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jun 24 2025

I feel very indifferent towards this album. The first couple tracks are pretty good but there are lots of monotonous songs throughout the album. By the end I was done.

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jun 25 2025

Awesome drum solo. Really talented group altogether. It all started to sound the same by the end of the album. Songs are way too long in general and I didn't like the "live" aspects of the live album. Good album but not one of my favorites.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Jun 26 2025

Shitty Disney music? That's an album I must listen to? Miss me with this crap.

Jun 27 2025

Pretty repetitive stuff which gets annoying at the 5min mark. There are a couple goodies in here though. My fav was Shut It Down.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jun 30 2025

Not a huge fan of this sort of intentionally disorganized sounding jazz. Obviously very talented musicians, but much of it is lost on me. I enjoyed it but it gave me anxiety.

xx by The xx
Jul 01 2025

Pretty chill and moody. Really stacked the front of the album, the back half sucked. Didn't enjoy the singing style where they soft of half enunciate. I felt very neutral toward the end because of the good tracks are at the beginning. Deserves 4 stars though for having three really solid hits.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jul 02 2025

In what circumstance would someone want to listen to this? It seems tailor made for a trippy movie scene or something. I did enjoy the beats in a couple songs; fun and bouncy. Would be much better album if all vocals were removed.

Arrival by ABBA
Jul 03 2025

"The perfect 70's album doesn't exi-"

Who's Next by The Who
Jul 04 2025

Too many basic songs in the middle of the album to earn five stars. Feel like lots of filler bookended by a couple bangers. They're sort of basic Rock in general, but when it works it works.

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Jul 07 2025

Unique as always. Few songs in the beginning of the album got my foot tapping. Felt like they were just throwing everything at the wall to see what would stick.

Young Americans by David Bowie
Jul 08 2025

I have almost no feelings toward this album. Didn't like it but didn't dislike it.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jul 09 2025

High highs and low lows. Thought I liked Gorillaz but maybe I just like Del the Funky Homosapien.

Jul 10 2025

They made some interesting choices the production of this album. Super washy and the instruments are panned super wide. It made a difficult to listen to somehow. This could have been a good one. I also noticed his album has none of their hits on it. There are like 10 other albums more popular this one.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jul 11 2025

Pretty solid like most Beatles albums. Had a consistent sound but enough variety not to be bored. I would say there are to not enough stand out tracks to be a five star album, but a few did get my foot tapping.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 14 2025

I'm sure this was a pioneering sound in the 70s.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 15 2025

Carry On and Almost Cut My Hair are boppers. Lots of slow and sleepy songs as well that seem to drag. Love the harmonies. Mixed bag altogether. Very close to a 5 star album but just didn't have enough consistency.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jul 16 2025

This s*** got me movin

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jul 17 2025

Yup that's alt rock. Also, why does he sing like that?

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jul 18 2025

Weird, I thought this was a list of music albums.

Jul 21 2025

There are some nice sounding tracks in here. Lots of cerebral experimental stuff too. Altogether felt like the album was fine.

2112 by Rush
Jul 22 2025

Good ol' fashioned rock. Great vocals as well. Not a fan of the 20 minute mashup of multiple songs, makes it harder to skip the lame ones. Haha.

Jul 23 2025

Each song takes you on a wild journey without failing to be surprising and also pleasing to the ears.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Nothing to complain about here. Slightly generic as well.

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 25 2025

Every song felt like an eternity. Way too repetitive and boring for my taste. A couple tracks don't suck.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jul 28 2025

Artsy fartsy and annoying. I vibed with a couple. It's the sort of music you experience once and then never return to.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jul 29 2025

I enjoyed this less than expected. Sort of bored most of the time. Wild World is pretty great, but man I couldn't get into some of the slower stuff. I like his singing and I'm a sucker for this 70s folks style.

The Last Of The True Believers by Nanci Griffith
Jul 30 2025

This shit makes me wanna two-step. I positively jammed to multiple songs. The end of the album got a little less interesting but not enough to lose a star.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 31 2025

There a few catchy songs in here. Trying too hard to be punk with the weird screaming and talking interludes

Aug 01 2025

Beats are pretty sweet, I like the big band sound. Lyrics are fairly wholesome for hip-hop. Something about his rap cadence is annoying though. Fav track was I Gotcha. Bordering on 5 stars but it just didn't quite reach that level for me. The Intro really set the bar high when it claimed this was the start of new black revolution or something.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Aug 04 2025

Unique sound and compelling stuff altogether. I like how some of the songs rolled from one to the next seamlessly. A formula started to emerge toward the last third of the album.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Aug 05 2025

And only be described as cheesy. They remind me a lot of Tenacious D. I really just don't like the vocals I guess. Heard one song heard them all for this album. None of them are bad, just very similar. It's a difficult one to rate.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Aug 06 2025

I was so distracted by poor quality the recording, especially toward the beginning of the album.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Aug 07 2025

Whiny guitars absolutely drowned in reverb was a bad choice. Also, Elvis did it better. I bet 80s punks loved this crap.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Aug 08 2025

Whiny guitars absolutely drowned in reverb was a bad choice. Also, Elvis did it better. I bet 80s punks loved this crap.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Aug 11 2025

The one positive thing I can say is that his songs had an interesting structure. I liked nothing about them otherwise. Hallelujah is pretty decent but it's really hard to miss that song up.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Aug 12 2025

Yay another album of 5 second loops that go on for 7 minutes straight. A couple of the tracks would be cool if somebody rapped a verse over them or something.

Aug 13 2025

Ascension got my butt movin. The slow songs are pretty cheesy. Also every song is too long. Pretty mid overall. Couple goodies though.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Aug 14 2025

There's too much going on in every song or something. Nothing sounded bad but everything was just weird enough to be not great. I feel very neutral toward this one

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Aug 18 2025

Started out really strong with 15 Steps and Bodysnatchers, then it was back to Radiohead's regularly scheduled programming; slow, haunting, boring, artsy alt rock.

Aug 19 2025

Anti-war song goes hard. Everything else is extremely mid. He's what I would call a right place right time superstar. .

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Aug 20 2025

Not much to complain about here. Pretty enjoyable throughout. Sort of generic though and not super memorable. The recording quality had been better this would have been four stars.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Aug 21 2025

Pretty annoying singing. Music itself is fine.

Kid A by Radiohead
Aug 22 2025

Pretentious BS

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 25 2025

This bored me to tears. A few songs sounded pretty identical. Also wasn't able to glean any especially meaningful lyrics. Surprised by this one.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 26 2025

I like the rock and blues mixture. Had enough variety to keep it interesting. Not enough to stand out tracks to earn five stars though.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Aug 27 2025

I enjoy the music but a whole album of the same stuff is pretty excessive.

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Aug 28 2025

Definitely a funky album. Not sure when I would ever listen to this, everything sounded nice though. I guess it's just not my tempo.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Aug 29 2025

This album is fine, there's nothing really wrong with it. Somehow I still couldn't get into it.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Sep 01 2025

Offbeat, dissonant stuff is not my vibe

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Sep 02 2025

Consistently listenable with a couple of actual bangers

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Sep 03 2025

Imagine listening all the way through that 9 minute song

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Sep 04 2025

Interesting collection of instruments and variety. The whole vibe of the album was very cheesy to me, I might have liked this more in high school. Not a fan at all of most of the instrumental tracks.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Sep 05 2025

Difficult one to read. Songs are obviously super long, probably as a cultural difference. I arrived a little to a couple tracks in the beginning of the album. Not sure I can say I disliked it so I guess I'll give it three stars.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Sep 08 2025

They took good music and made it bad. I did vibe to one or two in the middle. Definitely funky. Repetitive however even in the good songs.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 09 2025

Not as best album but there are enough bangers to give it five stars

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Sep 11 2025

Consistently decent, no misses at all, but somehow lacking a bit. Maybe it's a fact the vocals got slightly annoying halfway through the album.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Sep 15 2025

"The perfect '80s album doesn't exi-"

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Sep 16 2025

I like Pyramid Song. The rest was like a big fuck you to my ears.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Sep 18 2025

Loved the first couple tracks. The whole rest of the album got a little too artsy for me. The long musicless interludes are pretty annoying.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Sep 19 2025

Strong start with North country boy, started to fall off in the middle of the album

Sep 22 2025

I really only enjoyed the first and last tracks on this album. The music is meh, his voice is shit. Bob Dylan is best when he's reciting anti-war slam poems over some folky chords. Definitely not a good album but better than his others.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Sep 23 2025

This is probably some great rock and roll in 1966. I was bit bored by most of it.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Sep 25 2025

This album is mostly a shitty '80s fever dream. Souvenier is okay.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Sep 30 2025

Couple of goodies sprinkled in. Wasn't into the slow ones.

Roots by Sepultura
Oct 01 2025

A couple songs are all right, mostly because of the percussion which was fun.

Oct 02 2025

The 6th Sense is a banger. The rest felt pretty flat. The beats are okay but something about his flow is lame

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Oct 03 2025

Strong start but became pretty mid by the end

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Oct 08 2025

Not the worst music in the world. It got better as I listened. Still not my cup of tea.

25 by Adele
Oct 09 2025

Adele could fart into a microphone and I would rate it five stars

Repeater by Fugazi
Oct 10 2025

I do not like this Sam I am.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Oct 13 2025

I needed this

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 14 2025

I'm surprised this was released since 1975 because it sounds like it's from the '80s. Ahead of its time I guess. I don't really like how he sings. Fav song was Freeze Out.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Oct 17 2025

Not a big fan of how this one was produced. The mix is very washy. Not many other complaints, almost five stars.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 20 2025

Top tier Americana

My Generation by The Who
Oct 21 2025

Timeless sound. I maintain that the best thing about The Who is the drums. Almost knocked them down to 4 stars since three of the best songs on the album are covers.

Oct 22 2025

As always, every song is way too long. That being said, there were some serious hits on here for me. Got my butt moving. There were also some major misses.

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 23 2025

Very funky, mostly in a good way. Very much Talking Heads-ish.

Oct 24 2025

Her voice isn't bad but her style of singing is cheesy as heck. Got very bored halfway through this album.

Pornography by The Cure
Oct 27 2025

The whole album sounds identical. Of course they would pick the least popular Cure album. Ugh.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Oct 28 2025

Incredible. Literally peak music. These guys are GOATs for a reason. Wish I could give 6 stars.

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Oct 29 2025

Decent folk-country.nVery chill and sleepy. Boring as well.

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
Oct 30 2025

This music is tailor made for an emotional montage in a movie. Doesn't even seem like it's for listening. Enjoyed their sound on a couple tracks, but it really is like ambiance music, sad nostalgia.

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 03 2025

Surprised by the year this was released, sounded like 90s punk. The production quality is trash. Every song sounded pretty much the same as well.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 04 2025

Can't stand how this guy's sings. So sick of this band.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Nov 05 2025

Pretty basic rock. I thoroughly enjoyed a few of the solo sections, but some of these are slog to get through the repetitive parts. Mixed bag for me. Hard to rate.

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 06 2025

Classic 80s sound. Singers were generally too long and very similar sounding. I like the bounciness though. Randomly off key singing was annoying.

Kenya by Machito
Nov 07 2025

Never a dull moment. As far as jazz goes, this is pretty close to the peak for me.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Nov 10 2025

Only a couple good tracks here imo. Largely boring.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Nov 11 2025

Great mix of folksy and rocky. 8:05 is incredible. Very close to 5 stars but it was missing the x factor.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Nov 13 2025

We will be moving our stuff into her old place as well! 9am Saturday at our place if you're available.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Nov 14 2025

Okay these guys rock. No thrills, not many surprises. Just solid stuff. Catchy.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Nov 17 2025

These guys sound how my parents thought my music sounded growing up.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Nov 19 2025

Not a fan of the first half of the album, but the the second half had a couple of boppers. Tough rate.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 20 2025

The guy has a great voice but I'm just not sure when I would ever want to listen to this.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 24 2025

These guys are the rock equivalent of Insane Clown Posse. There's entirely too much going on and it's just noisy. I can't put my finger on why but I was extremely put off by it.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 25 2025

Enjoyed this all the way through. A little repetitive at times. All together relaxing.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Nov 26 2025

Impressive amount of variety.

Garbage by Garbage
Nov 27 2025

This rocks. Grungy yet poppy enough to be catchy. Just fun all around. Lots of slappers throughout.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
Nov 28 2025

Made me smile a few times, music itself isn't bad.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Dec 01 2025

If you don't at least tap your foot to this, you have a problem

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Dec 02 2025

Whole album sort of sounded the same, nothing noteworthy to me.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Dec 03 2025

Smooth and sultry. Super long tracks though, I preferred the single edits. Very innovative for 1969.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Dec 04 2025

The only reason this isn't 1 star is because I like drums

The La's by The La's
Dec 05 2025

Solid showing. Something about it. Didn't tip into the five-star category for me.

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Dec 08 2025

Every song sounded like a chorus and a rap song, like filler. Also, how many interludes does one album need?

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Dec 09 2025

Absolutely fuck off with this

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 10 2025

Did not like this guy's voice. Pump it Up was the only one I really enjoyed.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Dec 11 2025

I liked this lesson expected, I usually like folksy country. This one was a little too unpolished or something I guess. Of course they picked the album that nobody has ever listened to.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Dec 12 2025

Loved this. Added a couple to my cooking playlist.

Everything Must Go by Manic Street Preachers
Dec 15 2025

Pretty cool mix of punky stuff with almost a classic rock sound. Interesting and engaging.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Dec 16 2025

This one started rough but there a couple of these songs actually rocked in a sneaky way.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Dec 17 2025

Not a whole lot to complaint about here. This kind of rock sort of gets cheesy to me, also a little repetitive. Not a bad sound though.

Microshift by Hookworms
Dec 18 2025

Bookended by a couple of solid alternative boppers. The rest of the album is a experimental sludge of noise.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Dec 19 2025

Pretty bland stuff. He's like the Nick Cave of old folk music.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Dec 22 2025

I dig the harmonies. Little too sleepy for me in total. I like the folkiness.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Dec 23 2025

Felt like I was listening to the rocky picture horror show soundtrack. I've never seen the movie but I imagine that's what it would sound like.

As far as foreign music goes, this is pretty close to peak. Was bobbing my head along to a lot of it.

Vocals got a little annoying after 5 songs where they sound the same. Not a terrible sound though.

Super stacked at the front half of the album. The back half is pretty lame tbh. tough one to rate but I think at the bangers at the beginning earn it 5 stars.

Produced with a lot of depth to the sound. Definitely enjoyable but somehow didn't knock my socks off like I expected from such a vaunted album.

The Special Edition version of this album is super long and a major slog. The regular version is not bad all though so I'm rating based on that one. Couple boppers on there.

Surprised by the variety of styles, there are a few too many lame tracks for five stars.
