Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 28 2024

Obvious guitar talent and passionate singing (screaming) but not a fan of the…anything, really. Lyrics are a downer, no perceptible melody, had trouble telling when one song ended and another started. There is clearly a market for this, but I’m not it.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 04 2024

Solid. My kind of music. 4 Stars.

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Mar 05 2024

Much better than I expected. Some 60’s standards I have heard by other artists, I’ll need to look to see who did them first. Great voice, powerful without the current trend of overdoing it.

Boston by Boston
Mar 06 2024

Forgot how good this album is, start to finish. They never matched this, but a straight ahead rock album that stands up today.

Mar 07 2024

I’ve definitely not heard this album…or maybe I have heard it a hundred times, in movies, in the spa, in the airport. It’s exactly what the title says. I am more likely to listen to this again than a lot of albums from the 70s.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Mar 08 2024

This album grew on me. Spare and a little slow at first, then the last 3 songs blew me away. Worth a listen.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 11 2024

Listened to this album on a windy day at the beach. My drink went flying off the table. I still don’t know whether it was the wind or the music. Relentless.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 12 2024

Given the time this came out, these are groundbreaking songs. A couple on side B are a bit too church-choir to fit with the rest of the record. Very solid, not dated because so many of these songs have been used in movies and or covered often.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 13 2024
Konnichiwa by Skepta
Mar 14 2024

Tough to rate this. I really don’t enjoy any of this genre, so it’s no surprise I don’t like it. Somehow slightly more tolerable in a british accent, + 1 star.

Mar 15 2024

Like the guitars and drums, the spare arrangements. I also like his voice. Inflections sometimes annoying. Lyrics are a bit too avant-garde poetry spacy weird for me. Then came Invocation of Ratiocination, which was both weird and annoying. My first impression of guys like this is they smarter than me and I just don’t get it. But then I realized he’s just weirder than me, and I still don’t get it.

Mar 19 2024

Look, this guy is very very talented. The music behind the raps is exceptional. The vocal phrasing is excellent. The rhymes are clever and complex. But the lyrics are beneath his talent. I am not the audience for this bitch hating gay bashing adolescent.

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 27 2024
Timeless by Goldie
Mar 29 2024

Ross Geller accompanied by an 8th grade drummer from the local marching band. Dreck.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Apr 01 2024

LaGrange is a great song, plus a couple nice blues numbers, but the rest is forgettable.

S&M by Metallica
Apr 09 2024

Ugh.

90 by 808 State
Apr 10 2024

It was annoying, but I didn’t hate it like I do Metallica or Eminem. So, I guess it’s 2 stars. I expect I’ll get William Shatner next.

Nixon by Lambchop
Apr 12 2024
Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 16 2024

After the first 3 songs I’m thinking “over rated” but I enjoyed the rest. Not the top 5 best all time, like some critics have it, but quite good.

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 19 2024
Parallel Lines by Blondie
Apr 30 2024

Blondie was an interesting act but not good enough to sustain an album length of songs. Greatest hits is excellent but even that is not worthy of inclusion on this list.

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 07 2024
Moving Pictures by Rush
May 13 2024

I once read a review that said Geddy Lee’s voice was a cross between Robert Plant and Donald Duck. I don’t think it was a compliment. The instrumental was, however, equally bad.

Connected by Stereo MC's
May 15 2024

Loved it! Best surprise album I’ve gotten by far.

Play by Moby
May 16 2024
Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
May 17 2024

Not to be overly negative but… Actually it’s impossible to be overly negative about this album.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
May 23 2024

Loud guitars and screaming is overrated.

Vulnicura by Björk
May 31 2024

One star is far too generous, but I am unable to give it anything lower.

Dummy by Portishead
Jun 04 2024
Melodrama by Lorde
Jun 05 2024

Wholly forgettable

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 06 2024

Jun 10 2024

Live with Me. Best underrated Stones song.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jun 19 2024
Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 02 2024

3 for the music, + 1 because it’s Elvis.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Jul 03 2024

Expected to hate this, but loved it.

Oct 09 2024

I hate David Lee Roth almost as much as I hate Geddy Lee. Otherwise, this was not bad

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Oct 17 2024

Her voice sounds like a female Adam Sandler doing a smarmy song.
