Popular Reviews

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul

Hard to give an album a high score when so many of the songs are remixes of each other. Otherwise, not my favorite club hits from the 90s but some of the tracks are classic and full of nostalgia.

Urban Hymns by The Verve

One hit wonders to me.

xx by The xx
Jan 09 2024

Solid background music, but otherwise forgettable.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 10 2024

Well put together jazz tracks. This can be chill, romantic, or great mood relaxer.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 11 2024

Iconic sound and voice. Truly the sound of the 70s leading combining rock and jazz.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jan 12 2024

Enjoyable experimental rock album, not something you listen to every day but this is interesting.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 15 2024

Fantastic album, Miles Davis is the GOAT.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 17 2024

Jimi is more than just his greatest hits. Took a couple of tracks to get into his style, and then it was classic Hendrix groove. Loved this one.

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jan 18 2024

Hard to give an album a high score when so many of the songs are remixes of each other. Otherwise, not my favorite club hits from the 90s but some of the tracks are classic and full of nostalgia.

Medúlla by Björk
Jan 19 2024

Not my cup of tea. Only impressed it got made, and I do not understand the acclaim.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jan 22 2024

Jazz funk fusion in the late disco age. That's cool man.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jan 23 2024

Grunge before it was cool. Pioneers of the Seattle sound.

Ananda Shankar by Ananda Shankar
Jan 25 2024

Experimental, but not in my wheelhouse.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 29 2024

This album was a bridge into the post grunge Era. The sound and emotion are real but more matured.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jan 30 2024

Some of my favorite Doors tracks, but also some very forgettable filler songs. Iconic sound with that organ and guitar playing off eachother.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jan 31 2024

Good composure, yet I have never been a fan of his voice and it takes me out of the song.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Feb 01 2024

Not the hit generator that she would become.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Feb 05 2024

Great song writer, comforting voice, and the instrumentation is so mature for a her age.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Feb 07 2024

Country music is not my thing. Couldn't get past the 3rd song.

Being There by Wilco
Feb 08 2024

Enjoyable but not a standout.

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 12 2024

I love this album. His evolution form Genesis to solo performer to icon of alt pop.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
Feb 14 2024

It was just okay. Perhaps I was not in the right frame of mind.

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 15 2024

A few good hits but the rest is basic girlfriend arthouse punk. I can smell the angsty cig smoke from here.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Feb 16 2024

Okay, but not my favorite stuff by them. Couple of solid tracks.

Homework by Daft Punk
Feb 19 2024

Repeatative but the beats are solid and a throwback to EDM from the 90s

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Feb 22 2024

They sound like the other British New age punk outfits, but not as innovative or memorable.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 27 2024

Very enjoyable, now I get why they have such a dedicated fan base.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Feb 29 2024

90s eastcoast hip hop at its best.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Mar 04 2024

Solid album with a couple of big hits. Chances to explore their sound, and others that are classic Pretenders.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Mar 05 2024

George is great, but this was a good not great album

Mar 07 2024

I like the sound. They don't try to drowned out with noise. It is clean and tight.

#1 Record by Big Star
Mar 13 2024

Mid southern 70s rock

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Mar 18 2024

Powerhouse of a voice and a tragic loss.

Mask by Bauhaus
Mar 21 2024

Not the best or worst new age album

Nevermind by Nirvana
Apr 08 2024

Are you kidding me, this an easy 5 for me. The sound of my youth, the soundtrack of High School, and the kick off to the grunge explosion.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Apr 09 2024

Meh

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 12 2024
You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Apr 15 2024

Love this guy! Jazz and poetry blended together.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Apr 16 2024

A lot of hype that I never really liked.

In Utero by Nirvana
Apr 18 2024

This album shows the depth of his pain and we all just watched it happen.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Apr 19 2024
Dookie by Green Day
Apr 23 2024

Are you kidding me! Easy 5 from me. Punk pop, but if cut through to the point they were reflecting the grunge message and the slacker Gen malaise.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 25 2024

One hit wonders to me.

Debut by Björk
May 01 2024
Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
May 08 2024

German industrial noise. Experimental but not a good
