Popular Reviews

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

"Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five" despite there clearly being SEVEN PEOPLE on the album art. Which one is it, huh?! They are clearly trying to hide something from us. I will not stand for it.

Rust In Peace by Megadeth

Picture what you'd think a band called "Megadeth" might sound like. There. You've listened to this album already.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock

I tried hard, but it is indeed listenable if you ignore all the words he says and how annoying he is. There are instruments in here that make noise.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches

I LOVED this, pleasantly surprised for a band I've (somehow) never heard of. Always a sucker for sampled electronica.

It is clear that this paved the way for a new alt-pop sound, with artists like Tame Impala living the legacy MGMT never could. Only rating this a 4 because it has 3 great genre-defining songs (the rest are your typical experimental-style musical shrugs). This is, undeniably, a must-listen.

Kenza by Khaled
Mar 03 2024

nah because this kinda slaps somehow

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Mar 04 2024

Exactly what I expected. Just dont like the style of singing 🤷‍♂️ 3/5 because I can appreciate that the songs arent bad from an objective stance

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Mar 25 2024

Say what you want this is simply nice ambient music

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

Rekindled my love for Hip-Hop Rap. You must hear this before you die.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 28 2024

Hard to say if this was a 3 or a 4. Elton's unique songwriting is certainly prevalent in this album, and manifests well in some songs, and poorly in others.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Mar 29 2024

Incredibly unique, utterly bizarre. Unfortunately this is a blend of genres that just does not work.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Apr 01 2024

Simply a classic funk/soul/disco album with bangers throughout; not just the popular ones.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 04 2024

This kind of thing is hard to rate... two songs are absolute bangers, yet... the ones that weren't, were just not too nice to listen to. I'd usually dislike singer-songwriter type music, but I make an exception for Paul Simon.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Apr 07 2024

high 3

Nixon by Lambchop

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 14 2024
21 by Adele
Apr 16 2024
Wild Gift by X
Apr 21 2024

This is how I'd imagine the B-52's if they discovered other emotions and let the women sing more

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 22 2024

I tried hard, but it is indeed listenable if you ignore all the words he says and how annoying he is. There are instruments in here that make noise.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Apr 26 2024

I think this album psychologically damaged me. Thank you for ruining my day and eardrums. My only solace whilst listening to forks scraping against plates was that someone said it sounds like hitler is screaming at you. I would joke about this giving me a headache but it genuinely did give me a nasty one.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 27 2024

Classic. Turns soppy to the end.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 03 2024

The kind of music that is fine, but just difficult to listen to after two songs

Sail Away by Randy Newman
May 09 2024

After listening to two Paul Simon albums, I was convinced that my supposed hatred for singer-songwriter style music was completely unfounded. This broke me. I regret being optimistic.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
May 12 2024

I can't believe that my natural instinct was to compare this to Beastie boys :(

Movies by Holger Czukay
May 13 2024

There's a reason this is called "experimental". It was never meant to reach our ears as a fully fledged album. That being said, this wasn't a horrible listen, just a boring one.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
May 14 2024

The engagement makes you feel like you're actually there. I can imagine it: an enigmatic man and his comrades put you in a lighthearted trance of an evening. A fun atmosphere, the beautiful instrumentation is only complemented by the passionate singing and witty remarks. This will probably never be my favourite kind of music but it sure was entertaining.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
May 16 2024

It took me nineteen days to rate this. Longest 1hr 15m you'll ever sit through. Luckily 50% of this album goes hard as background noise.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 18 2024

I LOVED this, pleasantly surprised for a band I've (somehow) never heard of. Always a sucker for sampled electronica.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
May 19 2024
Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
May 24 2024

Sorry guys, I am a zoomer. This is how I imagine peak folk to sound.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
May 25 2024

Who put hip-hop in my punk/funk/jazz/ambient rock album?

May 26 2024

If I ever need a reason to not read reviews before starting an album, I'll look here. Fuck you. I like this.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
May 27 2024

You call it ear barrage, I call it white noise. Nevermind that my ears are bleeding, it's a statement.

D by White Denim
May 31 2024
Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 01 2024

Milestone log 1: Day 100! I was walking home in the dark tonight and by god. I was actually fucking feeling myself to this. Got the jig in my step and everything. 10/10 you have to listen to thriller (the song) walking in the dark. Also, PLEASE learn to separate the art from the artist. You look so stupid.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 03 2024

Roulette for whether a song is laborious or pleasant to listen to.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 06 2024

Take a shot every time he says "black hair" in the song, you guessed it, called "Black Hair". I still am not sure whether Green Eyes was a piss take

2112 by Rush
Jun 08 2024

Bro I thought I was listening to Boston.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Jun 09 2024

An embarrassing relic of a bygone era. Not bad, but not welcome. Just remember some critics came together and thought "Yup. This is it. This is that good shit." and now you get the privilege of listening to corporate sexual harassment pop.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jun 17 2024

😢

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jun 18 2024

I theoretically shouldn't have a problem with this music, I just don't like Dusty.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Jun 20 2024

Nothing burger. Feeling kind. 3.

Tommy by The Who
Jun 21 2024

Wow. I know of The Who but this was certainly not what I was expecting. I heard I was in for a story and damn. I was in for a story. I am all for fun albums and this was certainly no disappointment.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Jun 24 2024

They clearly have no idea what music to make they just fucking jam and make it happen and I'll say I kinda fw it. Rock Electronica? Don't you mean Rock, Electronica, Pop, Folk, Indie, Britpop, with elements of New Wave, Grunge, and dare I say, Shoegaze?

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jun 25 2024

My thoughts are so divided here... and that is probably the point.

Trio by Dolly Parton

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 07 2024

The amount of times I was forced to sing Weather With You as a child...

Jul 09 2024

I want to hate this so much. It was a pain to listen to this for 52 minutes. This is just an ASMR artist talking over a guitar and the occasional piano. It's so annoying, yet it is, from a more objective standpoint, fine. I know nothing about Johnny Cash so here's the uneducated review you were looking for.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 10 2024

The OG cursive singer

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Jul 13 2024

Jesus christ, wasn't expecting THIS for a live album

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 15 2024

Insane. Takes an awesome ethnic turn in the latter half.

Jul 16 2024

Usually I rate based on the quality of the entire album. An album this plentiful, however, despite having it's downs, has some insane ups. There exists a kind of substance that a "five star album" lacks, even. Outkast will always be on my list.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 20 2024

Heroes is such a damn good song. Pretty solid album throughout.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 23 2024

I don't think I've really ever gone out of my way to listen to Jimi. Will now!!

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jul 31 2024

I am sitting here laughing my ass off while listening to the godawful spoken word. This album has such an awkward sexual identity.

Smash by The Offspring

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Aug 16 2024

Wacky. Almost great but lacks direction, meaning, and identity. Just strange noises.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Aug 19 2024

Chill. Vibey. Feel like I could get high and have the best day of my life listening to this.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Aug 21 2024

THIS is how you do spoken word. Talk about meaningful topics. No one wants to hear your singer-songwriter self loathing and relationship issues.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Aug 22 2024

I'm convinced the people on this website just want to pretend they hate long songs. If a 10min song was split into parts floyd-style no one would bat an eye, I tell you. That being said, this was... fine. I'm sure if you're actively looking for things to hate that's all you'll find, though. This album deserves to be looked upon with fresh perspective, as hard as that may be to do.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 25 2024

I LIKE MY JAZZ DEEP FRIED FUNKY I listened to the first song 4 times before getting a new album generated. That doesn't sound like a lot, but considering that's longer than most albums altogether, I think this rightfully deserves a 5.

Aug 27 2024

It is clear that this paved the way for a new alt-pop sound, with artists like Tame Impala living the legacy MGMT never could. Only rating this a 4 because it has 3 great genre-defining songs (the rest are your typical experimental-style musical shrugs). This is, undeniably, a must-listen.

Our Aim Is To Satisfy by Red Snapper
Sep 09 2024

Milestone log 2: Day 200! I am starting to realise just how much I love music in general... my average rating has steadily increased over time and I have found so much new music that I love as a result of this project. I have no doubts that I will go the full way. I wonder whether a new edition to the book is released within the next couple of years... Now onto this album. Don't quite understand why I am listening to it. As much as I love electronica, this just has nothing of substance. It's fine, just... why?

Sep 10 2024

Might regret this later the music gets old really quick. Edit: I regretted it later and edited it to a 4

Moon Safari by Air
Oct 01 2024

Reading a review on this masterpiece, I wonder "why do people liken all electronica music to Daft Punk?"

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Oct 02 2024

There is a nonzero chance that from now on when someone offers me something I'll be reminded of this album. "Want one?" eugh "No thank you :("

Shaft by Isaac Hayes

Why is this here and not other soundtracks? Who cares, this shit goes hard.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem

Who doesn't like break? (Apparently a lot of people)

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Oct 08 2024

I don't really get the substantial appeal of jazz like this. It simply sounds like randomly generated notes, you know? When someone tells me they like this kind of jazz I just think they're an elitist who wants to convince themselves they are cooler than you.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Oct 13 2024

This is like a 5 star for entertainment (4 if you're sane), and a 3 star for music (2 if you're sane)

Yeah shit is getting real weird idk if I can even give half assed summaries of whatever this is. This is exactly the shitfuckery I expected from Mr. Byrne and Eno.

Actually by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 11 2024

If you are like me, listening to this album and struggling to listen, then make it a game of sorts. +5 points if you can guess what the rhyme would be, +10 bonus points if you hear a word rhymed with itself.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Nov 12 2024

Sure, this music is alright, but if I'm going to listen to whining it better not be introspective.

Being There by Wilco

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Nov 19 2024

And you're telling me the critics put this guy in 6 times? I reject the notion that I must listen to this guy 5 more times.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Nov 20 2024

Its like they recorded an album and only the first 4 songs were inspired so they dispersed them throughout to make it seem like it wasn't so bad.

Suede by Suede
Nov 22 2024

Now this is how you do whining. Powerfully, gutturally, with real emotion. Please listen with an ear unblinded by the preconceived notion that this is "britpop".

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Nov 24 2024

It's like listening to your coworkers butcher your favourite songs at karaoke night

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Dec 17 2024

Milestone log 3: Day 300! It's insane to think that I've consistently listened to an album a say for almost a year now. As such, I have regrets that I have mis-rated albums, or that my rating scheme is far too lenient. Like 50% of my ratings are 4 stars... that's not good, right? As for this album, it is a far cry from the material that makes the white stripes a great band. Not here for the soppy shit.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa

Dec 24 2024

She is precious, I'll give her that. This is as about as good as country gets for me.

Under Construction by Missy Elliott
Dec 29 2024

I think it's hilarious how her intro and outtro sound exactly like an AI trained on her voice would. You know that Spotify DJ AI? Yeah.

Mr. Krabs: [calls the radio station] Yes, hello. I was wondering if you could play that song again. Radio DJ: [from the phone] Hmmm... which one, man? Mr. Krabs: The one that goes "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-beep." Radio DJ: No, man. You're thinking of "bee-boo-boo-bop, boo-boo-bop." Mr. Krabs: Bee-boo-boo-boo-boo-bop, [garbled telephone noise] bee-boo-boo-bop, [garbled telephone noise] boo-boo-bee-bop? [garbled telephone noise] Not bee-boo-boo-beep? [garbled telephone noise] Bop? [garbled telephone noise] Beep?! [garbled telephone noise] Boo-boo-bop?! [SpongeBob screams.] SpongeBob: Oh my gosh. Why was Mr. Krabs making all those beeping sounds? Could it be that he's... [scene zooms in on him] ...a robot?

This album is simply fantastic all around. The flow and rhymes are smooth, consistently. No misses, it was an actively fun listen the whole time.

It's at times like these where I wonder what justification the book has for this album. Seems pretty pointless, no? It's not particularly significant, it doesn't explore areas of music previously unchartered. It's just... not good... almost objectively.

Milestone log 5: Day 500! WOO! Almost at the halfway point! I love music so much, this is really a gift to humanity. I recently got the book for my birthday, it's a pretty good book but the commentary seems like it's lacking depth a bit. I will make it to 1089... wonder if another book is on the horizon?

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Jul 18 2025

This is modern country-pop to a T. As of the past couple of years, this kind of music (but even more "canned industry faux") has frustratingly populated the charts. THAT BEING SAID, this is certainly better than that bullshit, even though track-to-track it's a bit samey. Take it from a certified country hater.

You had every opportunity to choose Basement Jaxx's "Rooty", a clearly more refined sound, but you chose to include only their debut because it's a debut. yawn... also you guys are too harsh.

I detest the existence of this on here for sure. OVER HALF of these songs we hear in Machine Head alone, which is already on the list. It would also be awesome if one of the tracks wasn't 5+ minutes of drum lead-outs.
