Popular Reviews

Paranoid by Black Sabbath

This is easily both the best heavy metal album of all time and the most influential heavy metal album of all time. War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man are obviously beyond legendary tracks, but tracks like Electric Funeral still absolutely rip and I’m still surprised by how they got away with putting a mellow track like Planet Caravan between Paranoid and Iron Man while still maintaining a coherent sound. The music and vocals are top fucking tier coupled with the genre defining sound and aesthetic that kicked off a whole generation of metal. Not to mention the ironclad tearing down of pro-war sentiments. This is truly one of the most perfect albums of all time for me. 4.8 stars

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper

I mean, as far as an album with a song about necrophilia, it was pretty decent. 3.4 stars

Kala by M.I.A.

Cash register gunshot song good, the rest of the album forgettable. 2.6 stars

Mask by Bauhaus

Goth. Sounds super sloppy and incoherent and the vocals were wholly unenjoyable. Some passable beats occasionally. 2.0 stars.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller

The first couple of songs showcased some nice vocals and component music, but as the album went on it was kind of all over the place and very boring. 2.4 stars

All Ratings (313)

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Feb 24 2024

Love Her Madly, LA Woman, and Riders on the Storm are the only good tracks. Everything else is forgettable at best.

Feb 25 2024

This album is complete, interesting, iconic, and has a wide range of emotional affects that make for a near perfect listening experience. 4.7 stars

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Feb 26 2024

I understand that this album was groundbreaking in its time and place, and in my opinion the blending of electronic, rap, and reggae among other genres kind of works. However, this album is absolutely not to my taste and the vocals do almost nothing for me. 2.3 stars

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Feb 27 2024

Not even an interesting album in context

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Feb 28 2024

I don’t normally listen to blues/jazz but this was an amazing live album. It must’ve been an absolute blast to see this live especially given that it was probably the first time a lot of white people heard blues. 4.0

Feb 29 2024

I’m sorry, this sucks. I did enjoy the song wham bam though for its lyrics. I mildly dig the honky tonk parts of some of the tracks, but god damn that whiney country twang just pisses me off. 1.3

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 01 2024

4.1

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 03 2024

Still a good album, not quite as good as the other 3.7

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Mar 04 2024

This album is so fucking smooth. Absolute classics all around. 4.5

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 05 2024

A decent mixture of some great songs and some forgettable songs. I love his energy level and charisma. 3.5

Graceland by Paul Simon
Mar 06 2024

I hadn’t been exposed to much of Paul Simon’s solo stuff and I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. Musically it was pretty great but I didn’t really enjoy the vocals as they seemed pretty rambling. Listening to this kind of made me feel like I was going a little insane. 2.6

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Mar 07 2024

Amazing live album. I love how it delivers to you a slice of history. I even watched several of the songs from the performance on YouTube and am blown away. Not a huge fan of the country twang by any means, but his vocals are perfection and very complimentary for this kind of music. 4.4 stars

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Mar 09 2024

Decent enough with a couple of legendary tracks. 2.8 stars

Van Halen by Van Halen
Mar 10 2024

Now this is rock! This album fucking shreds with Eddie’s A+ guitar work and David Lee Roth’s charismatic energy in his voice. Eruption might STILL be the best guitar solo of all time. Immensely enjoyable if not a short album. 4.5 stars

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Mar 11 2024

Wasn’t very engaged by this album, it all had the same boring vibe and the songs got less good as the album went on. 2.3

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Mar 12 2024

Very odd, but some minor points for creativity I guess? 1.7 stars

Tapestry by Carole King
Mar 13 2024

This was so amazingly good! I had never knowingly listened to Carol King before and I had no idea she was behind some of these great songs covered by other artist. Incredibly talented and an absolute joy to listen to. 4.5

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Mar 14 2024

The guitar on this album was on another level! The jazz influences made for a great listening experience. 3.5

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 15 2024

Definitely a lesser Dylan work. Seemed like a lot of filler with a couple of high points. Never been a huge fan of his vocals, but his song writing is pretty great. 3.3

Dust by Screaming Trees
Mar 16 2024

Much better than I thought it would be. The hard rock/grunge transition sounded pretty great to be honest. 3.5

The Band by The Band
Mar 17 2024

Not my cup of tea 2.4

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Mar 18 2024

Not my favorite Foo Fighters album, but it still rocks. The energy is infectious. This is an album that sat in my cd player in my car for a long time, but when I took it out I never intentionally put it in over other albums again. Solid though. 3.6

Night Life by Ray Price
Mar 19 2024

1.5 stars for the vocals, but not a lot here for me.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Mar 20 2024

A decent enough album by Bowie, who is obviously the GOAT but probably not even within his top 10 albums. 3.6

Mar 22 2024

This is some great folky Irish punk, definitely wasn’t expecting the middle eastern vibes of Turkish Song of the Damned. 3.5 stars

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Mar 24 2024

I enjoyed the weirdness and the guitar action this album. 2.6

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Mar 25 2024

Generic beats that were 100% meant to be enjoyed while under an altered state of consciousness. I enjoyed it as background noise. I guess I would listen to this if I were forced to do homework or creative writing? 2.5

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Mar 26 2024

Legit Motown sound. 3.2

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Mar 27 2024

Interesting album, I really liked the vocals and I ended up listening to the whole album 2.5 times. I probably wouldn’t recognize their songs if I heard them again though. 3.0

Mar 28 2024

I’m not sure what genre to classify this as. It was obviously heavily jazz influenced but I got a bit of a Yes vibe to some of the tracks as well coupled with blues/soul. Glad was a fun track, dug the jazz flute on Freedom Rider, the guitar and organ were fun all the way through. Pleasantly surprised! 3.5

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Mar 29 2024

This was a surprisingly fun album to listen. I definitely said “how come I’ve never heard of these guys?” out loud. 3.5 stars

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Mar 30 2024

Zeppelin is so incredibly overplayed, and I genuinely never want to listen to them again. That said, this album starts off so strong with Immigrant Song and then never really reaches that high again on this album. Quality music, but it’s not even close to Zep 4.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Apr 01 2024

This album satisfies my inner goth greatly. Starts out a little slower but not in a bad way and Personal Jesus, Enjoy the Silence, and Policy of Truth are such amazing tracks. 4.3 stars

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Apr 02 2024

I could myself listening to this.. sitting at Disneyland waiting for my beignet order to be fulfilled. 2.5

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Apr 04 2024

The fact that this is like the 4th best Beatles album should emphasize how they were truly masters of their craft. 4.7 stars.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 05 2024

Well done album despite it not necessarily being my kind of music. The B-side tracks are all pretty good and I particularly liked Ambulance Blues’s lyrics. 3.5

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 06 2024

I enjoyed the lyrics, but this album didn’t really speak to me at all. 2.4 stars

Apr 07 2024

I liked the songs with funk elements, but I do not like the vocals or lyrics and I fucking hated the multiple songs about Jesus. A generous 1.5 stars for the Sax player.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Apr 08 2024

Very repetitive songs and there isn’t a huge difference between the tracks. I think there is a very special place in music hell for songs that use the sound of kids in their tracks. I wanted to like this album way more than I did, and I think that is because of how dated it sounds. Oh did I mention it was repetitive? 2.1

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Apr 09 2024

A lot of bops on this album. The musicianship is top tier and having not listened to The Smiths much I was surprised by how funny the album was. Also is that last track supposed to be about titties??? 4.2

The Libertines by The Libertines
Apr 10 2024

Seems like relatively generic, if not enjoyable indie music. Although one would expect a singer that was addicted to crack to have a little bit more realness in their voice. Solid 3.0

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 11 2024

The first three tracks sound like James Bond opening songs. And that’s not a bad thing! The vocals are beautiful and the music is interestingly weird and haunting. I really liked ‘Human’ and ‘Utopia’. The electro sound can definitely be interesting when paired with good vocals like this. 3.6 stars

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 12 2024

Every other track on this album was fantastic! Superstition is obviously an all time great, but I also really enjoyed Tuesday Heartbreak & Big Brother. The funk elements were great, the more soul-soundy stuff were pretty mid. 4.0 for that synth

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Apr 13 2024

This is easily both the best heavy metal album of all time and the most influential heavy metal album of all time. War Pigs, Paranoid, and Iron Man are obviously beyond legendary tracks, but tracks like Electric Funeral still absolutely rip and I’m still surprised by how they got away with putting a mellow track like Planet Caravan between Paranoid and Iron Man while still maintaining a coherent sound. The music and vocals are top fucking tier coupled with the genre defining sound and aesthetic that kicked off a whole generation of metal. Not to mention the ironclad tearing down of pro-war sentiments. This is truly one of the most perfect albums of all time for me. 4.8 stars

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Apr 14 2024

I mean, as far as an album with a song about necrophilia, it was pretty decent. 3.4 stars

Slayed? by Slade
Apr 15 2024

Sort of generic, partly annoying, but mostly forgettable. The Joplin cover and the other cover were the only tracks I really enjoyed. Also I’m mildly triggered by all the track title misspellings. 2.4 stars

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 16 2024

I’m sorry this is kinda boring. I felt like I was waiting for the album to kick into high gear the whole time I listened to it. Maybe this album was the pioneer of the boring generic New Wave genre as a whole? 2.0

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Apr 17 2024

I don’t think anyone does gothy-synth-pop better than Depeche Mode. The flow of the album is great, and I love how simple everything is. I do prefer Violator to this album, but it’s still a great one. 4.0

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 18 2024

Excellent guitar work but I must say that everything was instantly forgettable. Obviously highly talented, but kind of a a slog to sit through a 25 minute guitar recital. 2.5

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Apr 19 2024

If you enjoy repetitive sounds, loud dissonance, and the occasional sound of seagulls you might enjoy this album. There were one or two tracks that I enjoyed like ‘Frontier Psychiatrist’, but it was too much like the experience of an ADHD brain trying to understand a strange world for my liking. 2.2 stars

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 20 2024

The album starts off on a really high note with Gimme Shelter which is an all timer for me. Unfortunately, it quickly loses most of its momentum and never really builds it back until You Can't Always Get What You Want on the very last track. I sincerely hated the country songs and a lot of their bluesy ones seem inauthentic and boring. The Stones are legendary, but I’m just not really a huge fan of most of their work. 3.4 stars leaning heavily on their two massive hits.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Apr 21 2024

I absolutely hated the falsetto shit with the vocals. It’s like a bunch of theater kids singing an obnoxious version of Hapoy Birthday two tables down in a restaurant. They tried too hard to be like ABBA, Elton, or Freddie and completely failed at the emulation. 1.9 stars

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Apr 22 2024

Fantastic album! Her vocals are charismatic and powerful. So many of these songs are hits and even the non-hits are still great. This is probably the best 80’s pop album, and I’d listen to this album any day. 4.6 stars

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 23 2024

An album that truly shows their mastery of song writing. Great album with sharp, witty lyrics that has something to say. Not their strongest album though. 4.4 stars

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Apr 24 2024

This album really shows off the growing strength of the Lennon/McCartney duo. While not my favorite Beatles album or even in the top 5, this album really delivers and I think the simplicity of their earlier more-pop influenced sound makes it almost infinitely replay-able. 4.6 stars

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Apr 25 2024

Minstrel-esque folk rock. Meh. 2.4 stars

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 26 2024

The first couple of songs showcased some nice vocals and component music, but as the album went on it was kind of all over the place and very boring. 2.4 stars

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Apr 27 2024

Too much of a good thing with the harmonies, make this album mostly sound dated and boring. California Dreamin’ is a fantastic song (take a moment to go listen to the Bobby Womack version) but there’s not much else here except a couple of other songs that sounded okay. Listening to this album made me want put on the Beach Boys or the early Beatles instead. I’m sure it was a little edgy for the time, but it seems very tame, repetitive, and milquetoast today. 2.5 stars

Apr 28 2024

This album is a fun one that brings back memories of listening to this on repeat with a portable cd player on long car trips. Rockafeller Skank, Gangsta Trippin, Praise You, and Acid 8000 are some of my favorite tracks on this albums. 3.7 stars

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Apr 29 2024

Recently well done music with bizarre lyrics and weird punk aesthetic vocals that seem to be boarding on a joke album. 2.5 stars

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Apr 30 2024

Strong vocals, but nothing else stands out too much 3.0

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 01 2024

Great album with several stand out hits. I feel like this album gets more and more British as it progresses. 4.4 stars

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
May 02 2024

This album was an absolute treat to listen to to. I’ll have to check out their career highlights 3.7

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
May 04 2024

Would’ve been a great show to see during the era, but listening to this in the year of our lord twenty and twenty-four leaves a lot to be desired. 3.0 stars for a jazz great.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
May 06 2024

Very interesting mixture of punk and industrial, I dig it! 3.8

Dookie by Green Day
May 07 2024

I fucking love this album! No Fluff trackless: Burnout, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, Coming Clean, In the End. 4.6 stars

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
May 08 2024

Not a big fan of this live album, but I did enjoy a lot of the tracks. 3.5

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
May 09 2024

When i read that they pieced this live album together from multiple performances, i was a little disappointed. 3.3 stars

May 10 2024

Very personally conflicted by the amazing counter-culture lyrics and his vocal style and the abundance of harmonica. I feel like this is what people think white music sounds like. I still think I overall enjoy it because his voice goes well with his style, and those fucking lyrics carry so much meaning! 4.0

Green by R.E.M.
May 11 2024

Another great REM album, 3.8 stars.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
May 12 2024

Classic West Coast hip hop with homegrown Latin vibes. I love the silly tone. 3.4 stars

Guero by Beck
May 13 2024

Beck is a consummate musician with very unique lyrics. Though not his best album it was a fantastic listen and fun! 3.7 stars

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
May 14 2024

Not the strongest album by the Cure, but A Forest is an absolute banger. 3.4 stars

May 15 2024

Such a powerful and charismatic voice. Engaging performance sound quality issues aside. Though I don’t prefer live albums, you can tell that the crowds energy really heightens the experience. 4.1 stars

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
May 17 2024

Well, if I’m ever interested in listening to an hour long sitar solo I now know where to look. 2.0

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
May 18 2024

Pinnacle of Simon & Garfunkel’s talents, what a fantastic album! 4.6 stars

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
May 19 2024

The vibes are off the fucking charts on this album. 4.7 stars

I See You by The xx
May 20 2024

Lovely indie album. A lot of the tracks are ethereal with a dreamlike pleasant quality. The vocals (especially the female vocals) are quite lovely. My favorite track on this album was I Dare You. 3.6

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
May 21 2024

Definitely caught a 🔥 on this one. 4.5!

May 22 2024

Take on me is really amazing but the rest left a lot to be desired. 3.0

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
May 24 2024

Decent, but i wasn’t too into it. 3.4

Kala by M.I.A.
May 26 2024

Cash register gunshot song good, the rest of the album forgettable. 2.6 stars

Blunderbuss by Jack White
May 27 2024

Not bad, but not very memorable. 2.7 stars

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 28 2024

Pleasant sounding but not engaging. Background music at a garden party at best. 2.5 stars

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
May 29 2024

Decent background music. Not super stimulating or profound. 2.7

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 30 2024

A bunch of nostalgic songs my dad would listen to when I was little. Better than I remember it being, to be honest. Might listen to a few of the tracks again occasionally! 3.6

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 31 2024

This album grooved like crazy! This disco and R&B combo is soooo soooo good. 4.5

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 02 2024

This is an amazing album and it’s very difficult to believe that they released 3 hit albums in the same calendar year. Bad Moon Rising alone is such a staple. 4.6 stars

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jun 04 2024

This album fucking rules! The disco with the r&b added into really made for some catchy and entertaining songs. Bring this type of music back! 4.6 stars

Phrenology by The Roots
Jun 07 2024

Fantastic rap album that stands in sharp contrast with some of shit that runs rampant these days. 4.1

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jun 08 2024

Very chill music, but I’m not going out of my way for this. 2.5

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jun 09 2024

Schools out is a pretty decent album, with the titular track being a great one. 3.6

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jun 10 2024

Pretty decent, but not my thing. 3.3

Be by Common
Jun 11 2024

Pretty decent album, although I think the Kanye stuff was a bit weaker. 3.6

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jun 12 2024

Interesting music, but the mostly mumble vocals are not to my liking. 2.0

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Jun 13 2024

It was definitely interesting background music, but definitely not something I’d put on again. 2.4

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jun 14 2024

This is such a fantastic and influential album! Easy 4.5 for me

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Jun 15 2024

Some great nostalgic tracks on this. The hits will be heard again whether you like it or not. 3.9

Parklife by Blur
Jun 16 2024

I liked some of the songs well enough, but too many that didn’t click with me. 3.5

Smokers Delight by Nightmares On Wax
Jun 17 2024

Relaxing music, but I’m not gonna turn this on for ambient music. 2.6

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jun 20 2024

Edgy anti-religion metal. Not my fave album from them. 3.5 stars

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Jun 21 2024

I hated this so so much and I am irrationally upset that this album is included while nothing by Weezer is. 1.3 stars

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jun 22 2024

Entertaining album! 4.0

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jun 23 2024

Was a very interesting sound considering I don’t think I’ve heard African Blues before. That said. Except for a few tracks, I couldn’t get into it that much. 2.4

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 25 2024

Who would’ve thought the best selling album of all time would also be one of the absolute best? This album is magnificent from start to finish. 4.7 stars

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jun 26 2024

Piqued my interested in Jazz Orchestra. 4.2 stars

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jun 28 2024

A pretty chill listen. 3.5 stars

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 29 2024

Bowie is fantastic and the emotions in this album are really raw. 4.2 stars

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 30 2024

Not my favorite album due to the religiosity. 3.4

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jul 02 2024

The best of the Stones, easily. 4.5 stars

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 03 2024

Way too much patriotism and country twang. 2.1 stars

21 by Adele
Jul 05 2024

Great voice, fantastic songs, this is an incredible album! 4.5 stars

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jul 06 2024

Difficult to fully rate since I don’t speak Portuguese, but I enjoyed it anyway. 2.5

Liquid Swords by GZA
Jul 07 2024

Wu‐Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta Fuck wit. 4.5 stars

Jul 08 2024

This album was a lot of fun and so far is my favorite album by a band I’d never heard previously. 4.3 stars

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Jul 09 2024

Not nearly as good as the other Dylan albums I’ve heard. 3.1 stars

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jul 10 2024

Pure background music that not interesting enough to merit another listen in the future. 2.4

Debut by Björk
Jul 11 2024

Very good voice, music is too experimental and weird for my taste. 2.7 stars

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 12 2024

The only song of them I had heard before was Come on Eileen, and none of the songs on this album are nearly that catchy. 2.4 stars

Revolver by Beatles
Jul 13 2024

This is my favorite Beatles album, just slightly beating out Abbey Road. From start to finish it’s non-stop gold. 4.7 stars

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Jul 14 2024

Slightly better than the other African Blues album, 2.5 stars

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Jul 15 2024

Sounds pretty decent for an album that’s clearly just some friends fucking around making music. 3.4 stars

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jul 16 2024

Fantastic album full of hits. All time chill music. 4.6 stars

Tommy by The Who
Jul 17 2024

This album is an absolutely fun journey that shows of great music and a cool rock opera story. 4.5 stars

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Jul 18 2024

Pretty decent music with good lyrics. A lot of vibe songs. 3.6

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jul 19 2024

Very straightforward bubblegum pop music with a couple of great songs, some great covers, and the rest only decent. Not the best of the Beatles, but better than most of the shit out there. 4.4 stars

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jul 20 2024

Some relaxing Bossa Nova with excellent vibes. 3.6 stars

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jul 21 2024

Great vocals with catchy tunes. I feel like all of the big hits from Blondie are on this one album. 4.1 stars

Jul 22 2024

I didn’t hate it (even if they did have a Buck Owen’s cover) but I would have no reason to ever intentionally listen to this again. 2.3

Doolittle by Pixies
Jul 23 2024

Really catchy instrumentals coupled with quirky and surprisingly (or not) violent lyrics makes this album really unique and endearing to me. I prefer Surfer Rosa to this album, but it’s a great album. 4.1 stars

Mask by Bauhaus
Jul 24 2024

Goth. Sounds super sloppy and incoherent and the vocals were wholly unenjoyable. Some passable beats occasionally. 2.0 stars.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Jul 29 2024

I really liked the punk edge to this in the music, but I found the vocals lacking. Not bad though! 3.3

Eagles by Eagles

Not a big fan of the fucking eagles 2.8

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Jul 31 2024

This was a nice surprise, although it sounds like the author of the book fucked up and put the wrong year and included a compilation album. 3.9 stars

Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 01 2024

I wanted to like this album much more than I actually did. Seemed to go on too long and wore out its welcome. 2.4

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Aug 02 2024

Pretty decent album, if not a bit dated. 3.3 stars

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes

Aug 04 2024

Fun album, but probably won’t revisit. Not as great as their other stuff. 3.9

Aug 15 2024

This album almost made me go back to sleep. Pretty vocals, just kind of a drag. 3.1 stars

Aug 16 2024

Great solo album, with a great raw sound to it. It’s the opposite of overproduced and the emotionality of it is just *chef’s kiss* 4.6 stars

Metallica by Metallica

One of the best and most influential metal albums of all time. This baby holds up really well. 4.6 stars

Sep 08 2024

Not worth the time to listen to. Slightly better than the other album. 2.2

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Oct 11 2024

Well, okay, but here where it says, "What I got you gotta get and put it in ya," how about just, "What I'd like is I'd like to hug and kiss ya." Classic Chilly Willie, 4.2 stars

Stankonia by OutKast
Oct 12 2024

The vibes on this album are off the charts. 4.1 stars

I Against I by Bad Brains
Oct 13 2024

I’m sorry, this is boring. 2.2 stats

I fully approve of his lyrics, and that is about the most praise I can give this. 2.3 stars solely for telling the truth about the world.
