Popular Reviews

Freddie Mercury's voice is unlistenable. Brian May's beta vibes are rancid. I wish I could score it lower and tank the global rating

Scott 4 by Scott Walker

If Nick Cave and Elvis Costello teamed up to make something that sucks. Ahead of its time...

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten

Challenging. I do understand why people hate them. Excellent beats, though.

Zombie by Fela Kuti

Bad by Michael Jackson

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Apr 22 2024

Most annoying voice in pop culture before Sam Smith arrived to steal the crown. Extra star for that one song everyone knows

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
May 01 2024

Would have been 5/5 but i had to take a star off for the last song being so outrageously misogynistic for no reason

Guero by Beck
May 03 2024
Want One by Rufus Wainwright

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jun 04 2024

Not his best but i love this petty little guy

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jun 05 2024

Brazilian men are incapable of carrying a tune due to the inherent nasal quality of Brazilian Portuguese. Brazilian women are not afflicted in this way due to women's natural vocal superiority

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jul 30 2024

Ella Fitzgerald is a perfect singer with the voice of an angel but also whoever compiled the 1001 albums needs to get real about these 2 and 3+ hour compilations

21 by Adele
Aug 06 2024
So by Peter Gabriel
Aug 07 2024
Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners

THEE debut pop album of all time argue with the wall

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Aug 16 2024

I got in a car accident while listening to this

Aug 22 2024

Love George but again with the 2+ hour long picks! Wtf!!

Third by Soft Machine
Aug 23 2024
A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Aug 26 2024

The only way the Beatles could be better is if they were American women

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 27 2024
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Sep 03 2024
The Trinity Session by Cowboy Junkies
Sep 04 2024

Gorgeous voice. One star off for being Canadian

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 17 2024

That should have been ME sucking Jim Morrison off in the recording booth

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Sep 20 2024

My traditional star off for misogyny

Aja by Steely Dan
Sep 23 2024
Imagine by John Lennon
Sep 24 2024

Through circumstances beyond my control I was stuck listening to this album on repeat and developed stockholm syndrome. 3 stars up from my initial 1 star assessment

Is This It by The Strokes
Sep 30 2024

Everybody wants to be The Strokes

Nixon by Lambchop
Oct 03 2024
LP1 by FKA twigs
Oct 04 2024
Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Oct 09 2024

Didn't showcase Ms Holiday's best but it was an excellent soundtrack to wandering around looking at Jacaranda trees in full and glorious bloom

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 26 2024

:D!

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Nov 28 2024

I'm not listening to another fucking album from dexys goddamn midnight runners what crackhead put them on here i hate you i hate you so much

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 03 2024

Ren faire Black sabbath cover band

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Dec 04 2024

Really not worth listening to a whole album of these dudes

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 08 2025

If Nick Cave and Elvis Costello teamed up to make something that sucks. Ahead of its time...

Achtung Baby by U2
Jan 20 2025

Sorry to the great nation of Ireland but I think U2 is corny and mid

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 21 2025

Sometimes you're a 27-year-old woman and sometimes you're a 14-year-old girl lying on her bed in a foreign country 12,000 miles away from everything she's ever known and loved, listening to Nick Drake for the first time. Anyway he's my favorite guitarist ever I think

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 22 2025

Love Björk but importantly on reflection I should have only given ZZ Top's Eliminator 4 stars

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 24 2025
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 27 2025

Perhaps thee album of all time, but Lindsey Buckingham is not seeing heaven for taking Silver Springs off

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Feb 03 2025

What woman-hater put this asshole on here more than once

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 04 2025

Look I like the Beastie Boys as much as the next but surely 3 albums out of 1001 is too many?

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Feb 05 2025

I would have liked this album more if someone else sang it

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Feb 06 2025

Makes up for the 2 and 3 hour listens

Feb 13 2025

Easily her best work

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 17 2025

Easily her best work

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Feb 20 2025

Challenging. I do understand why people hate them. Excellent beats, though.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 21 2025

Why are there multiple Arcade Fire albums on this list? All of them all sound the same -- surely one would have done

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 24 2025

The more of the Cure I listen to the less I like them

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Feb 25 2025

Gorgeous album

Destroyer by KISS
