Popular Reviews

Boston by Boston

i groaned when the generator gave me this album. i feel no different after listening. their slick, commercial sound is lifeless and empty, every song is over-produced, and the whole thing is too safe and predictable. it gets one star and an eye roll from me.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake

i like nick drake, but this album isn’t my favorite. the instrumentals are peaceful but i find it boring overall.

Jan 11 2024

listening to this album was boring. all the songs sound the same. i found “trip through your wires” and “bullet the blue sky” to be the best ones and even those i don't really like. it’s safe to say i will never listen to this album again.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 12 2024

meh. it’s not bad, but i don’t quite get the hype. i’d have to be on drugs to listen to this again and even for that i’d rather put on something else.

Jan 13 2024

i didn’t like this album, it’s unimpressive and boring. a couple songs (“kamera”) weren’t that bad, and i used to listen to “heavy metal drummer” in high school. the rest of them (“radio cure,” “poor places,” “reservations”) were so hard to get through.

Vespertine by Björk
Jan 14 2024

i like bjork but mostly listen to individual songs rather than entire albums. vespertine is different, though. it’s beautiful, detailed, and intimate, and i appreciate that it’s cohesive. i’ve played it through twice now and it makes me want to be a winter fairy watching the snow fall in my ice palace.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 15 2024

this album some of my favorite jimi songs in it: “gypsy eyes,” “come on (let the good times roll),” and “voodoo child.” “crosstown traffic” is also really good. some of the songs go on for too long and get boring, but i know jamming is kinda the whole point and the songs i do enjoy make up for it

Boston by Boston

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jan 17 2024

not the worst, but none of the songs are good or memorable. i’ve already forgotten what i just listened to and i don’t like his voice.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jan 18 2024

glad this album is short because i didn’t like it

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Jan 19 2024

the songs are repetitive and pretty much sound the same, and with that, the album is long. i will say that the instrumentals are really nice and sound beautiful. the music is relaxing and atmospheric, but i’m not a fan of the vocals. not the kind of album i’d listen to

Jan 20 2024

i love sam cooke and listening to him live is so special. his performance is raw, passionate, and absolutely incredible. there are only a few live albums i really enjoy, and this is for sure one of them.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jan 21 2024

hair metal sucks. the music is bad, and the lyrics are even worse. def leppard cares more about their looks than their sound and it shows, as their music is repetitive, soulless, and just plain awful.

Jan 22 2024

not a fan of prog. my adhd simply cannot handle an 18 minute song. the shorter songs were more bearable but i just wanted it to be over

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Jan 24 2024

not bad at all, just not my type of music

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Jan 25 2024

never heard of this album or duo before. there was one song i didn’t mind (“the color of the fire”), some i absolutely hated (those unfortunately happened to be the longer ones), and the rest were so boring and sounded the same

Aja by Steely Dan
Jan 26 2024

so bland. not bad musically but i could never listen to this for fun there’s nothing interesting about it

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 29 2024

i really like this album. great songwriting as always and has a nice mix of styles. “run that body down,” “everything put together falls apart,” and “me and julio” are my favorites.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 30 2024

i like nick drake, but this album isn’t my favorite. the instrumentals are peaceful but i find it boring overall.

White Ladder by David Gray
Jan 31 2024

sooo boring. there’s nothing interesting about this album, the drum machines are bad, and i don’t like his voice (or anything about his music really). and to top it all off the last song is nine minutes. nine painful minutes.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Feb 01 2024

didn’t like this, the songs aren't great are kinda bland. overall not for me.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Feb 02 2024

the music is good and definitely belongs on this list, but this album wasn’t really my thing so i don’t think i’d listen to it again. plus the first and last songs stretched on too long for me.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Feb 03 2024

nothing terrible about this and i can see why so many artists have sampled it, but it’s really not for me. i wouldn’t listen again.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Feb 04 2024

some of the songs were pretty okay, but i didn’t enjoy this album overall. a lot of the music i listen to could be considered strange/harsh, but i just don’t get the appeal of this.

Feb 05 2024

this album is so creative. great lyrics and really shows the dead kennedys’ influence on the hardcore movement

Close To You by Carpenters
Feb 09 2024

this album was alright, it was a bit boring in places and i found some songs to be too sappy but besides that there’s nothing really bad about it. i don’t have a strong opinion.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Feb 10 2024

pretty bad as i expected it to be. and his voice annoying

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Feb 12 2024

this album has good energy and was fun to listen to, but nothing i was super amazed by

Infected by The The
Feb 15 2024

amusing at some parts but overall pretty bad. for a short album it really seemed to drag on

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 16 2024

this album isn’t bad, it’s just not anything special. i would probably enjoy it a couple of years ago, but not something i’d go for now.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Feb 17 2024

good for studying. i wouldn’t just listen to this though so it gets a 2

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 18 2024

some of their older stuff is really good, but this is not a pleasing sound. listening to this album also made me almost fall asleep, not saying that in a good way

Elastica by Elastica
Feb 19 2024

this album is really fun. some songs felt slightly repetitive, but others make up for it. i’ll definitely listen to some of the songs again.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Feb 21 2024

found myself tapping my foot along to a good number of songs. some were really cool. i liked houses in motion, crosseyed and painless, and born under punches, and once in a lifetime's a classic. others didn’t do much for me though. i’d say it’s between a 3 and a 4, but i’m feeling generous today

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 22 2024

i’m not a big fan of the stones and i think they’re overrated. there’s two ok songs on here and the rest is eh and forgettable

Feb 23 2024

i’m a big fan of punk but this wasn’t my favorite. one or two songs were okay but that’s about it

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Feb 24 2024

good for on hold/elevator music but bad for listening to for fun

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Feb 26 2024

i like a lot of sonic youth’s stuff but i don’t enjoy this album very much unfortunately.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Feb 27 2024

not saying this album is bad, because it’s not, just saying that isn’t for me.

Feb 28 2024

i was dreading listening to this based on some of the reviews but tried to go in with an open mind. my initial reaction was right though. this is bad.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 29 2024

so much talent but a little sappy and boring for my taste. superstition is soo good though.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Mar 05 2024

one or two of the songs weren’t so bad, the rest was either disturbing (in a bad way) or rapey.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 06 2024

some of the songs are good, but i find morrissey’s voice pretty annoying in others. “that joke isn’t funny anymore” is my favorite on the album and since its so good i’ll bump it up to 3 stars.

Arise by Sepultura
Mar 07 2024

not something i’d typically go for but i was pleasantly surprised. the drumming is fucking insane and the guitar was really impressive also. a couple songs kinda blended together and sounded the same. 3.5

The La's by The La's
Mar 08 2024

i love “there she goes,” but the rest of the album is very disappointing.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Mar 09 2024

first, fuck eric clapton. “strange brew” is a great song, and “sunshine of your love” is good too. i haven’t listened to this album in full before today, and the rest of it is kinda boring to me. two great songs but pretty overrated overall.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Mar 11 2024

some parts of the instrumentals are kinda cool but overall this album isn’t that good. some songs really make me cringe and it’s really annoying how he says the same words/phrases over and over and over again.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Mar 13 2024

this album is bad. not worth the hype

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Mar 14 2024

this album is soo boring and kept dragging on and on. i get that the man is super talented but this is not it i just wanted it to end.

Vivid by Living Colour
Mar 15 2024

not good and nothing special
