Popular Reviews

Nevermind by Nirvana

Not too many albums changed music. This one does. Not a bad song on here. Punk meets mainstream.

Raw Power by The Stooges

In the context of the time period this album and sound transformed music.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 22 2024

2.5/5 - Starts off hot! Then fades away(:....A little too much of the disco production sound for my tastes...

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Mar 25 2024

Great big band album of the 50’s. Solid vibe!

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Mar 26 2024

Great album! Gritty and raw bluesy rock n roll. Stones at their dirtiest. Some throwaways towards the end. Doesn’t need to be a double album but what’s there embodies the stones more than any other album.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 27 2024

Great opening album from these guys. Never actually gave it a proper listen before. I’ll be adding it to my vinyl collection soon!

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 28 2024

Better than expected. But didn’t care for the meat is murder tune. It’s too preachy but the rest of the album is solid.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Mar 29 2024

One of the better non English speaking albums. Great flow and all around sound. Enjoyed it thoroughly!

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Apr 01 2024

Has some classic tunes. But overall I find it a bit overrated stones album. However - SofD and salt of the earth is are great bookends.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 02 2024

YES!! A classic. Iommi riffs coupled with Ozzy's iconic voice. The foundation for all future metal.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Apr 03 2024

I get it. Put three prominent female singers in a room together and put an album out. They can all really sing. However, doesn’t do much for me.

Apr 04 2024

Classic 2010’s indie electronic pop sound. Not always my thing but they had a few gems. Mother we share was my favorite.

#1 Record by Big Star
Apr 05 2024

Pretty solid. I hear how they influenced 80’s indie bands like: the replacements and guided by voices and REM.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Apr 08 2024

Better than I expected. I figured he’d be more all acoustic singer songwriter and wasn’t. Really enjoyed it and I’d listen to it again.

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Apr 09 2024

Outside of lucky man pretty boring album. Doesn’t do much.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Apr 10 2024

Solid rock n roll. Some great riffs. Girl got rhythm is my fave.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 11 2024

It’s not a 1. I give it credit for trying but the psychedelic space jams ain’t for me.

Ramones by Ramones
Apr 15 2024

Classic in punk rock.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Apr 16 2024

Not too many albums changed music. This one does. Not a bad song on here. Punk meets mainstream.

The Man Who by Travis
Apr 17 2024

Exactly as I remember it. Boring Brit pop. Writing to reach you is a great song and it saves it from being rated as a 1.

Bossanova by Pixies
Apr 18 2024

Ok. Not their best effort.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Apr 22 2024

Solid

Raw Power by The Stooges
Apr 24 2024

In the context of the time period this album and sound transformed music.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Apr 25 2024

I will never get that time back from listening to that album.

New Forms by Roni Size
Apr 26 2024

Afro funk psychedelia electronic dance grooves. Not for me but also not too bad.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 30 2024

Not as good as count Basie but still solid jazz from the 1950’s.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
May 01 2024

I get the folksy vibe. It’s ok. Not the best I’ve ever heard for that genre.

Kid A by Radiohead
May 03 2024

Obvious classic. Changed the game in regards to what rock music can sound like.

Play by Moby
May 07 2024

I guess it’s whatever.

Street Life by The Crusaders
May 08 2024

Not bad. Kinda of urban yacht rock feel to it.

Faith by George Michael
May 09 2024

A lot of radio hits. Not my thing though.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
May 13 2024

Has a few solid tunes otherwise a bit boring at times.

Tical by Method Man
May 16 2024

Really good.

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 17 2024

Bad. Moving on.

xx by The xx
May 20 2024

Sounds pretty bad

Hotel California by Eagles
May 21 2024

Hotel CA the song is great. Rest of album? Nope.
