Popular Reviews

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band

This is one of my favorite albums! I remember hearing "Hot 'Lanta" for the first time and I was immediately taken aback by the musicianship of the group. It's still one of my faves by them! After hearing the live versions of their music, their studio albums just don't do it for me, haha.

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (483)

Sheet Music by 10cc
Apr 04 2024

The songs felt all over the place, couldn't get into it.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 10 2024

A great listen, I also liked the Ska songs that were sprinkled throughout the album.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Apr 12 2024

Super folky, thought he sounded like Woody Guthrie and then low and behold Guthrie makes an appearance on the album. Enjoyed the listen.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Apr 16 2024

The singer sounded a lot of Julian Casablancas and the music was moody all the way through.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Apr 17 2024

Not my bread and butter, so it was a rough listen.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Apr 26 2024

80s classic, some interesting stuff mixed in the middle of the album tho.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 30 2024

Black Sabbath on the softer side with a mix of their classic heavy riffs and rocking, enjoyed this one all the way through.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 02 2024

Interesting listen

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
May 06 2024

The title is happy sad and it makes a lot of sense, some of the songs were pretty good, and then some were a little too long and slow. Overall, not too bad at times I felt like it could be a 4 but I've settled for a 3

The Cars by The Cars
May 07 2024

I knew a lot of these songs and they're all pretty good, an easy listen.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
May 08 2024

My first time listening to Morrissey, and it was an interesting album that I thought had some good songs on it. There were a few where I also thought he's just saying things for a reaction but overall, not bad to listen to.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
May 09 2024

Was never a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, though I try to keep that to myself being that I'm from NJ, but the album had its classics that everyone knows and some other songs that were cool to hear for the first time as well.

Low by David Bowie
May 13 2024

A more obscure DB that I've ever encountered, but I was able to get through it. Not sure I would put this one on again though.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
May 20 2024

I felt like this one was a cruel joke, I think it was a nearly 4hr album. After listening to the first 2 songs, I thought that surely it was almost over but that was just the tip of the iceberg. I did not listen to the whole album, so I feel bad giving it a 1 star, but that's what's happening.

Forever Changes by Love
May 21 2024

This is one of my favorite albums of all time (FAOAT). It really encapsulates the west coast hippie movement sound IMO.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 23 2024

I was between a 4 and a 5 here, because I think the studio version of some of these songs sounds dull compared to when they are played live however, there is no live without the studio. Disraeli Gears is a classic for me and I gotta go 5 here.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
May 24 2024

I was a little surprised how much I enjoyed this album, it was a 3 that turned into a 4 for me.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 31 2024

Not a huge fan of Billy Joel, but this album has a lot of good songs on it IMO.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jun 04 2024

Hmmm, interesting one. Between a 2 and a 3 but going to go with 2 because none of the songs really grabbed my attention.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 05 2024

Interesting listen, not too shabby.

Jun 06 2024

I feel like this album is better than a lot of the 3s I've rated, but not as good as the 4s, I think that going forward I'll be more reluctant to just give a three out to an album that I didn't think was bad. 3 has reached a new standard.

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 07 2024

Very punk, not as polished as their stuff after this though.

Electric by The Cult
Jun 14 2024

This album made me realize how much I don't like hair bands, that being said it wasn't totally unbearable and I think that if I was into this kind of music then it wouldn't have been so bad.

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 25 2024
It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jun 26 2024

Liked this one more than I thought I would.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 27 2024

Really enjoyed listening to this all the way through again.

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Jul 02 2024

Kinda glad this one was only 30 min. Something about it just didn't sit well with my ears.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jul 03 2024

I'm a huge fan of The Band and this one is a classic for me.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 09 2024
Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Jul 12 2024

Hmmmmm at first I thought this band sounded a little like Black Sabbath at but the more I listened the less true that became. A bit too out there for me I guess, but there were some parts of songs that I liked though they seemed to blend together at times.

Drunk by Thundercat
Jul 15 2024
Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jul 22 2024

I was in between a 2 and a 3 throughout the whole listen, I felt like some songs were 3s and others 2s. But because I had never heard of this band before and I was glad I listened to this one, I'll give it a 3.

Jul 24 2024

Some very good and then very experimental songs on this album! I really enjoyed it from start to finish, besides the last 3 or so minutes of Liberation.

Skylarking by XTC
Jul 25 2024

If this isn't the most Brit-Pop album I have ever listened to... At times they almost felt like a Beatles cover/parody band and then at other times they sounded like a the most British Pop group ever, I kind of enjoyed it though, kept me intrigued for the next song.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jul 30 2024

This album really caught me off guard. I had not heard of the Boo Radleys before and wasn't expecting much, but sure enough each song had me listening intently. Seems like they had a ton of influences since nearly every song was different than the next one. I'll definitely be giving this one another listen.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 05 2024

Probably my favorite CCR album.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Aug 06 2024

I accidentally read reviews on this album before I listened to it, so my rating is a bit skewed, I think. I like the Beach Boys, and I liked the new versions of Heroes & Villains and Good Vibrations, but the stuff in between sounded like unfinished songs that were pieced together.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Aug 07 2024

Some songs I liked, some songs I didn't, also some funny ones in there too.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Aug 08 2024

This is the first time I listened to this album in its entirety and though I'm not a rap fan, I thought this album was very good.

Being There by Wilco
Aug 12 2024

The only other Wilco song I know is Jesus, Inc., which I like. This album was different than that song, but still enjoyable and something I'll give another listen to.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Aug 14 2024

A proper early 2000s Brit-Pop classic! Or maybe I should say, a classic Brit-Pop album... I can confidently say I don't remember a single song from the album, but a memory of how I felt when I listened to it. I never know if I like Brit-Pop or hate it, but I think the world is better for it being a thing.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Aug 15 2024

For me, I think that was the longest 45 minutes I've ever lived. The scream to start the album was funny, there were some funny bits in the middle as well, and the last song was unique. I was surprised to find out this band put out 10 albums, this one kind of seemed like a couple of guys rented out a recording studio and riffed for a bit, then released it as an album. I'll give it a 2 because of how caught off guard I was when I started the album, and the guy started screaming in my ears for 30 seconds.

Aug 16 2024

Wasn't expecting to find an album from the Pogues on this list, but I'm happy I did! I thoroughly enjoyed this album all the way through, even did a few hearty jigs along the way. The Dubliners collab, the Medley, and Fairytale of New York were my faves from this one.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Aug 20 2024

didn't like this one as much as the other Beta Band album

Solid Air by John Martyn
Aug 21 2024

hmmm, in between a 2 and 3 for me, but since there were some nice acoustic songs in there so I'll round up

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 22 2024

The albums peaks with the first song, which makes the rest blend together for me.

Garbage by Garbage
Aug 30 2024

Pretty good album, I liked her rock songs more than the other stuff she was playing though.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Sep 24 2024

Thought this was a very good album with some interesting history to it as well.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Sep 25 2024

I was between a 3 and a 4 here. I haven't listened to much Elvis Costello, but I found this album a fun one to listen to and enjoy.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Sep 26 2024

This album had some really strong and classic songs on there that bring it up to a 4 for me.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Sep 27 2024

I enjoyed this one, but no songs really popped out at me.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Sep 30 2024

This one was out there! Reminded me of Pink Floyd's more experimental days in between the Syd Barret era and the Dark Side of the Moon album.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Oct 02 2024

Iron Maiden has never been my thing, but I can appreciate what they were doing.

The Madcap Laughs by Syd Barrett
Oct 03 2024

Acoustic Psychedelia! I'm giving this one a 3 because I am a big fan of Syd Barrett's Pink Floyd. My favorite song off of this album was and has been Octopus. I feel like he tried to achieve the similar results with the rest of the songs but wasn't able to find the magic and they ended up sounded jumbled up.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Oct 04 2024

This one wasn't as good as I hoped it would be and a lot of the songs blended together.

Lost Souls by Doves
Oct 07 2024

A very chill album that was nice to listen to on a chill Friday.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Oct 08 2024

I really enjoyed the first half of this album a lot but for whatever reason my interest waned in the second half, still solid though.

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Oct 09 2024

American Beauty has a lot of the Grateful Dead's radio hits on it, with Box of Rain being my favorite. That being said, I'm giving it a 4.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 10 2024

An all around goodie, Money For Nothing's opening riff still gets me, and I like the variety of styles that Mark Knopfler plays on the album.

Oct 11 2024

Two stars for two good songs on one album. The rest of the album made me keep checking to see how much longer I had left to listen to.

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 14 2024

I liked their hits, which I had already heard, but the rest of the album definitely blends together.

Cross by Justice
Oct 15 2024

I kind of liked this one in the beginning, then the middle lost me, but the end of the album brought me back. I was surprised that I actually knew some of these songs, I think.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Oct 16 2024

I enjoyed the first half of the album, but I felt like the second half got a bit more experimental and I was happy when I saw that the I'd reached the final song of the album.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Oct 17 2024

I liked this album more than I thought I would. I knew "Drive" and "Pardon Me" before listening to this one and I don't really care for those songs, but it was the rest of the album that took me by surprise.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Oct 18 2024

This is one of my favorite albums! I remember hearing "Hot 'Lanta" for the first time and I was immediately taken aback by the musicianship of the group. It's still one of my faves by them! After hearing the live versions of their music, their studio albums just don't do it for me, haha.

Oct 21 2024

Idk what it is about XTC that this list loves so much, but I don't feel the same.

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Oct 22 2024

Pretty cool album, definitely worth the listen. A lot of the issues he raps about are still talked about today, though there are some that need updating and I'd be interested to say what he says about social media and phones! haha

Oct 23 2024

I'm not a huge Elton John fan and I hadn't listened to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road before this, but that was a great listen! I enjoyed this one from start to finish and it was nice to hear some of his songs that aren't always on the radio.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Oct 24 2024

Not great for me, but also not bad. I really want to like Morrissey, but I've only come across a handful of songs that I really like so far.

Oct 25 2024

A lot of the songs followed the same formula, but I have to admit that I enjoyed listening to this one though I didn't think I would.

Vivid by Living Colour
Oct 29 2024

I don't like Cult of Personality, automatic 1 star deduction. Not terrible, but I didn't like it.

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Oct 30 2024

What a musical journey that was! Not for me, but at times I was dancing at my desk like I was at a club or something, which should be an automatic +1 stars.

Architecture And Morality by Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Oct 31 2024

Dare I give this one a 4? I shall. I feel like I heard so many 2000/2010s Indie riffs in this album from 1981. I'd never heard of this group before and yet I thought I had listened to half of their album before. I wonder if a lot of Indie Rock artists found inspo from this group because it sure sounded like it.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Nov 01 2024

Great vocals and good 90s rock.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Nov 04 2024

I was in between a 3 and a 4 for this one, but I have to go with 4 here. A lot of good stuff in here, nothing that blew me away, but certainly kept me interested throughout the album.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Nov 05 2024

I've listened to this one so many times, so nothing new, but it felt commercial at times. I found myself liking the songs that aren't played on the radio more but still felt the whole album was very good.

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
Nov 06 2024

Looks and sounds a bit like Oasis did

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Nov 08 2024

Pre-Classic Bee Gees, not too shabby. I hadn't heard any of these songs before and they sounded like a rough version of themselves before they became the refined hit makers. Still pretty good though.

Nov 12 2024

This sounded a lot like Bon Iver, I thought it might have been him at first. I would guess he had some influence from this group. Good album though, I'm in between a 3 and 4. I'll settle with high 3, but I think that could change to a 4 after a few listens.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 13 2024

This was an interesting album; it felt like a lot of these songs were some version of "Carnival Song." I think I've heard "Once I Was" before and I do like that song.

Nov 14 2024

I liked most of this album... I had to break it up into sessions though and I think that the last session was the worst, so it ended on a bad note for me. Still, considering I enjoyed most of the album I'll stick with a low 4.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 15 2024

Went from rock to experimental in the blink of an eye. I liked No More Sorry, but not All I Need. Then right back to the regularly scheduled program of (garage?) rock songs.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Nov 20 2024

I haven't listened to too much of the Flaming Lips besides their more well-known stuff. I would not have guessed that they were making albums in the mid-80s though. Solid album though I enjoyed it and he used "realize" in a couple of songs here and it sounds exactly like their song "Do You Realize" in the way he pronounces it, so I guess it's one of his fave words.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Nov 22 2024

I only knew Sunny Afternoon from this one, but pretty good stuff.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Nov 25 2024

Liked this more than I thought I would

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Nov 26 2024

Wasn't expecting the western and pirate songs in there! This was a great one to listen to.

The Band by The Band
Nov 27 2024

I'm a huge fan of The Band's music and this album could possibly be their best and at times my favorite.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Nov 29 2024

I knew "Game of Pricks" off this album, good song. I was also surprised that they fit 28 songs in 41 minutes. Overall, a solid 3 for me.

Stankonia by OutKast
Dec 02 2024

Some very good songs on there, some not as good.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 03 2024

Not a fan at all of walk this way, but the rest was nice.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Dec 04 2024

I had listened to this album quite a bit in the past and this could be peak grunge, perhaps. Very heavy guitar with great vocals.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 06 2024

Sounded like a not-as-good version of Rumours, haha.

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Dec 09 2024

I have never heard of this band before, but I think this was a solid 3. Very 60s sounding and an enjoyable listen.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 10 2024

Not my genre, but a pretty fun album

Dec 11 2024

So bad it was almost good. I’m really not sure how this one made the list, but I guess this was the best that UK rap had to offer at the time. While this one was blatantly bad to me, I did enjoy listening to it because I had more than a few laughs along the way.

1977 by Ash
Dec 12 2024

This album was okay for most of the listening, but I feel really ended on a high note. Not enough to make it a 4, but definitely enough to make it a solid 3 that I may return to.

1984 by Van Halen
Dec 13 2024

A Van Halen classic, iconic guitar work.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Dec 16 2024

I hadn't listened to this one by Neil before, but I really enjoyed it!

Ten by Pearl Jam
Dec 17 2024

I was debating whether to slap a 5 on this thing, but I think it is a very high 4. Some 90s classics on here as well as some other songs that I hadn't heard before but really liked listening to for the first time.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Dec 18 2024

I was afraid that I wouldn't like this one at all going into it, which is a bad mindset when exploring new music,,,, but it was not bad the first go around and the second listen I think it's a very solid 3. There are some songs in there that I will add to the rotation.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Dec 19 2024

I feel lukewarm about this album. While it was a chill and easy listen, that's all it felt like.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Dec 20 2024

A lot of songs on here that I knew, but didn't know I knew. I'm feeling the rare 4 from an album I've never listened to until yesterday.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Dec 24 2024

I really liked this one, fun and easy to listen to.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Dec 25 2024

First song is great, the rest blends.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Dec 27 2024

Experimental for sure, although my Spotify auto-played a different Pere Ubu song after the album finished, and it made Dub Housing sound mainstream.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Dec 30 2024

Really good album from start to finish.

Dec 31 2024

Not sure this one has the power to destroy rock &roll... Nevertheless, I didn't hate it, but I also wouldn't listen to this one again.

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Jan 02 2025

I like Velvet Underground, but this album seems like it was slapped together. Some decent moments in there though.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jan 03 2025

I know her from a guest appearance w/ the Band in the Last Waltz, but this album wasn't for me. Made me kind of sleepy.

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 06 2025

I've listened to this one a few times before and I thought it would probably be a 4, but after a thorough listen I have to give it a 5.

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jan 07 2025

I had high hopes for this one but was left feeling underwhelmed.

Traffic by Traffic
Jan 08 2025

I would say this is a low 4. First time I've listened to a lot of these songs with Shanghai Noodle Factory and Light Up Or Leave Me Alone being my faves.

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 09 2025

I liked this one more than I thought I would. I wouldn't say it's my jam, but for an 88-minute techno (to my ears) album, it was not half bad.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jan 10 2025

Some of the songs in there were pretty good I thought, but the second half was very sleepy. While listening I thought wow is this guy in his 60s/70s and writing some career sendoff album?? Wikipedia tells me that is not the case, he was in his 40s when this was released.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Jan 13 2025

Great live album starts off with a goodie and finishes on top with Do You Feel Like We Do. This album displays Frampton's guitar work in ways the studio versions of his songs cannot.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jan 14 2025

I'd say this was a high 3, I enjoyed it but didn't love it.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jan 15 2025

I know of Frank Ocean, but I had never listened to him before. There were some tracks that I did like, and I can appreciate the music, but the overall sound wasn't for me.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jan 16 2025

Not a huge fan of Rush, but wow this was good!

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Jan 17 2025

Are you a Mod or a Rocker?? I'm a Mocker myself. I've not heard of this band before, but I might listen again. Album was solid 3 for me.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jan 20 2025

Not for me (-0__0-)

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jan 21 2025

Wasn't moved by it initially, but I got into the second half of the album.

Dare! by The Human League
Jan 24 2025

I think every song had the 80s synth sound. Overall, I thought it was a fine album.

After watching Dylan's recent biopic, I had a little more appreciation for his folk music as well as his early electric, which I did already enjoy. Also, while listening to the second set, I thought I recognized the jangly guitar playing of Robbie Robertson, only to find out that this way the era where Dylan was being backed by an early version of The Band.

High Violet by The National
Jan 28 2025

First song was pretty good, the rest did not move me.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Jan 29 2025

Part of me really wants to like Kings of Leon, the other part of me just can't get that into them.

Black Metal by Venom
Jan 30 2025

Really not in my realm of music, but lyrically this piece was moving.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 31 2025

I thought this would be more pop bc of the title, but I don't think it was. Another 80s album imo.

It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
Feb 03 2025

I listened to the extended version with demos included, and I really liked the acoustic demo versions. I would probably give the demos a 4 and the album a 3. Being that the demos are stripped down renditions of the album I'll reach up to 4 on this.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Feb 04 2025

Pre-grunge grunge. I thought it was a solid early grunge album, and it seems like they were ahead of their time in that sense.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Feb 05 2025

Very groovy! You can believe that these two backed David Byrne in the Talking Heads.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Feb 07 2025

felt like every song was repeating itself, boots and cats and boots and cats

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Feb 10 2025

Not my wave.

Arise by Sepultura
Feb 11 2025

When I started playing the first song, I almost immediately turned it off and gave it a 2, but I decided to let it play. While this isn't my favorite genre by a long shot, I did enjoy some of this album. It reminded me of Metallica at times and the drumming kept me interested.

Achtung Baby by U2
Feb 12 2025

While I am not a U2 guy, I was expecting more from this album. Besides One and Mysterious Ways, which were songs I already knew, the album didn't do much for me.

Feb 13 2025

I have this one on vinyl, so I was very excited when I saw it pop up as album of the day. While I do think the first side is better than the second, I really love this album as a whole. Syd Barrett puts a lot of twists and turns in the music and lyrics that I just love. It's too bad he wasn't able to build off this one.

Tapestry by Carole King
Feb 14 2025

I went into this album thinking it was going to be Carly Simon, but I was mistaken. Enjoyed this though.

Dummy by Portishead
Feb 17 2025

Felt lukewarm about this one. Some of the kinda blended in a bit for me, didn’t like nor dislike.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 18 2025

The ones you always hear on the radio don't do much for me anymore, but I thought the deep tracks on the album were really good. Though, a lot of these songs don't song as good once you hear them live off of "Get Yer Ya Ya's Out."

Teen Dream by Beach House
Feb 19 2025

Silver Soul is a song I've listened to before, partially because it was sampled in Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar, but I liked their original song a lot as well. This album was very indie, but I think it was missing a little something to take it to a 4 for me, but still a solid album imo.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 20 2025

Powderfinger alone carries this to a 4 for me, but I'm a big Neil Young fan and this is another goodie. I always love his soft acoustic set against the heavy toned electric sets.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Feb 21 2025

I was not familiar with Julian Cope before this, but the album was pretty good. Nothing really catching my ears but not making them want to shut either.

Time Out Of Mind by Bob Dylan
Feb 24 2025

I thought most of the album was okay, but that last song almost knocked my rating down a star.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Feb 25 2025

I'm gonna give this a 4, I think this was a very good album all the way through. They reminded me of the Pixies and this was in 78'! People said the Pixies were early to the scene and this was ten years before them. Good shtuff.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Feb 26 2025

Ehhh, I liked this at times, but that flamed out towards the end.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Feb 27 2025

Not a huge AC/DC fan, but I can appreciate some of their songs. This one is a hard rocking album with some classics on it, but the other songs aren't too dissimilar. At the same time, it'd be hard to lump this one in with the other 3s that I've given out, so I'll put this as a low 4 for me.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Mar 03 2025

Didn't like everything, but this was a passion project gone right I think

Homework by Daft Punk
Mar 04 2025

Some of this album I thought was really good, other parts I caught myself going to take my ear buds out because it was that bad.

Mar 05 2025

Pretty solid, first song I knew and liked, the rest weren't pretty Smith-y as well.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 06 2025

Haven't listened to this one before, but some songs I really didn't like and others I thought were good and clever.

Mar 07 2025

I liked this more than I thought I would. I wasn't expecting Ice Cube to make a guest appearance that's for sure.

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 10 2025

I've heard these songs so many times on the radio that I typically don't seek them out anymore, but listening to this whole from start to finish made me feel like this was a masterpiece.

Different Class by Pulp
Mar 11 2025

This was a weird one, it caught my attention and I kinda liked like music. I don't think I've listened to this band before, but they definitely caught my ears. They kind of remind me of David Bowie in certain instances.

Truth by Jeff Beck
Mar 13 2025

The seeds of Led Zeppelin. You can really hear where a lot of the influence that this album had on Zeppelin I.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Mar 14 2025

Thought this had some funny moments in it, also didn't know that Frank Zappa was around this early. I thought he came around in the 70sish.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 17 2025

As slow as molasses running down a hill ona hot summa's day. The 12-minute final song was complete cheap shot too.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Mar 18 2025

This was definitely maybe a 4. Some redundancy in their songs, but I liked it.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Mar 20 2025

Getting Cool in the Pool is easily a top 5 song about pools for me, and the Persian one caught my interest as well.

Mar 21 2025

Very cool album, 21st century schizoid man was sampled in a Kanye West song that I knew which I was not expecting at all.

1999 by Prince
Mar 24 2025

I've never listened to a Prince album; I've only heard the well-known songs on the radio. It was good and I can appreciate the talent he has, but it's not my genre of music.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Mar 25 2025

A solid 3, reminded me of music that would play in the background of a skateboarding game.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Mar 27 2025

Didn't entirely like this one too much, but I liked how much he seemed to enjoy recording this.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Mar 28 2025

This was a 3 for a while, but with the help of a grassroots folk faze that I'm going through as well as my jean overalls, straw hat, jug of moonshine, and lip full of chewing tabacci this was elevated to a 4.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Apr 01 2025

Reminded me a lot of Nick Cave and the Badseeds, so I was felt lukewarm towards this album.

New Forms by Roni Size
Apr 02 2025

it's not that the music was bad, but automatic star deduction for being that long of an album and all the songs practically being the same, in my ears.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Apr 03 2025

I wanted to like this one more, but it was not to be. Still good, but not as good as I wanted.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Apr 04 2025

I'm not a fan of T. Rex, but listening to the album as a whole I thought it was good. I don't think I've become a fan or will seek it out further, but still good.

Apr 11 2025

The first few songs I kind of liked, the rest not so much. The baby crying one at the end was pretty funny.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 14 2025

Sounds like a score to a musical, not a big fan of this one. The music wasn't bad per se, but not for me and by the looks of his Spotify, not for many others either... lol

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Apr 15 2025

Not usually my kind of music, but I went for a walk while listening to this and I was walking on sunshine. I enjoyed this album and really liked the driving rhythm section.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Apr 16 2025

Pretty good

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Apr 17 2025

Very groovy, close to a high 3, but I'll nudge it up to a 4 for groovy-ness

Apr 21 2025

I was surprised to see that this was the Byrds album included on the list. It was okay.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Apr 22 2025

slow torture

2112 by Rush
Apr 24 2025

Good stuff, a high 3 for me, not a 4 though.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 28 2025

A very solid 3 for me

The Specials by The Specials
May 02 2025

Didn't like this as much as I wanted to.

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
May 12 2025

Sounded like they were trying to tap into the Strokes' sound but fell flat. It's in between a 2 and a 3 for me, but I liked some songs, so I'll go 3.

Ritual De Lo Habitual by Jane's Addiction
May 13 2025

I forgot I knew some of these songs, pretty nostalgic to listen to and so very 90s.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
May 19 2025

A fine album, nothing bad, but nothing great either.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
May 20 2025

I wanted to like this one more, but it wasn't meat to be.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
May 21 2025

Didn't care for it.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
May 22 2025

I'm not an Alice Cooper fan, but I think this album was pretty versatile. I wasn't expecting to hear the different styles that I did.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
May 26 2025

This album was all over the place, but I liked it.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
May 27 2025

First time listening to this one all the way through, an early Neil Young showcase.

90 by 808 State
May 30 2025

This one had me in the first half and I truly believed this would be the first 4 I gave to an album like this, but the magic ran dry, and it finished as a 3.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jun 02 2025

I thought they sounded a lot like the Flaming Lips, only to find out that they have close ties. I thought some of the songs were similar and that first half was better than the second half.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Jun 04 2025

Enjoyed this one all the way through, very good flow to it.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jun 05 2025

Assault! Assault!

The Doors by The Doors
Jun 09 2025

The perfect The Doors album.

Be by Common
Jun 10 2025
Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jun 11 2025

The guitar reminded me a lot of early Arctic Monkeys. Pretty enjoyable listen.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jun 12 2025

#4 was the best one and reminded me of Pink Floyd when they were in between Syd Barret and Dark Side of the Moon.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jun 18 2025

Besides the last song, I enjoyed this album a lot more than I thought I would.

xx by The xx
Jun 19 2025

This could be a right place right time kind of album, but it was very soothing to listen to on this cloudy Friday morning. I think it has an intrinsic value of 3 but has been elevated to a 4 due to circumstances.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Jun 20 2025

I had high expectations for this album, and it disappointed me a bit. A few of the sounds sounded like Fire and Rain and it just fell a little flat for me.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jun 24 2025

I still have Walkin The Dog stuck in my head.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 25 2025

Very good for what it was.

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Jun 26 2025

I had a lot of fun listening to this one, I thought this was drill rap, but it is actually grime. Either way it's catchy, funny, and great to dance to.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jun 27 2025

This reminded me a lot of Prince, it was a good album, but not something that I'll be dipping back into.

The Coral by The Coral
Jul 02 2025

Reminded me of the Zutons, I may come back to this album. I don't think it crossed the threshold of 4, but a solid 3 for now, maybe a 4 in the future.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 04 2025

I'm typically a big Neil Young fan, but this one didn't stick out to me like the other albums. I liked the tone and guitar work, but the songs didn't do it for me.

Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Jul 07 2025

A three if there ever was one. Fun Rod Stewart album I reckon.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jul 08 2025

I wasn't dancing modernly to this one, there were moments where I enjoyed and other moments where I was checking how much longer the album had left.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 09 2025

The first half of this album is a no-doubter 5 with great tunes in diverse tones, but the second half of this album was one 30-minute funk rock jam sesh with Anthony Kiesdis ad-libbing in the mic and I'd give it a 3 for musicianship. So, I guess that makes this a 4, though with the great songs that are on here, you could certainly make the argument that it's still a 5.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 10 2025

A consistent album that sounded solid all the way through.

Jul 11 2025

This was a difficult one to grade and I can see why this had a cult following. This was also the first Genesis album I listened to all the way through, and I get the sense you need to be a real ran beforehand to truly appreciate it. I'll give this a 3 but I understand it's probably a 4 if I liked Genesis.

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Jul 14 2025

Didn't entirely care for this one.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 15 2025

The Smiths copycat band. Good album tho.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jul 16 2025

A little disappointed, some of these songs sounded very similar and were too much for my soft ears.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Jul 17 2025

Sounded A LOT like early The Arctic Monkeys albums, very similar. Who copied who? Either way, not as good as them, but it was a fine album if you're into this genre.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 18 2025

Average 70s rock album, can't help but hear Bowie in these songs.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jul 21 2025
Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jul 22 2025

Good 60s album, felt like all of their hits were on here and the other stuff was still enjoyable.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

I remember hearing Paranoid, the song, for the first time as a kid and I was instantly hooked. This album is more commercial than their first album, but it is oh-so-good and always great to revisit.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Jul 25 2025

I ended up liking this more than I thought I would, pretty funky, pretty fresh, pretty funny at times.

Jul 28 2025

Praise you was the only song I knew and liked. The rest sounded like it was a long outro song to the 90s.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Jul 29 2025

I thought this was Bon Iver for half of the album, but it was not, and he was not involved at all from what I can tell. I did generally like the album, but I couldn't fully immerse myself so it's a 3 not a 4.

Django Django by Django Django
Jul 30 2025

Standard 2010s indie album.

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Jul 31 2025

80s hair band to the max, which isn't my genre in the slightest. It doesn't do anything for me which puts it in the 3 category for me.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Aug 01 2025

Sounded familiar, pretty good beatzz, 90s hip-hop through and through.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Aug 04 2025

My brother introduced me to the Stooges w/ Search and Destroy and I gotta say that was prob the best song on there. The others were good at times but didn't really grab me as much.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Aug 05 2025

"Pip pippy pippy pip pip landerim" sounds like the activation code for a sleeper agent, but I digress. I don't know how to feel about this album really, it's not a three because it was so unique, but I certainly can't say it's a 4,, so I guess I have to give it a 2.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Aug 12 2025

This guy has 5 albums on here, a puzzling fact that I don't quite understand. It's a 2 fa me

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Aug 14 2025

I liked the 'tude of this album, a lotta good 'tude.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Aug 18 2025
Snivilisation by Orbital
Aug 19 2025

Orbital, we meet again. Didn't like this one so much, maybe it was my circumstances i.e. not being in a former factory turned nightclub...

My Generation by The Who
Aug 20 2025

I thought about this one a good bit, I have to go 4. A classic mid 60s rocker, I’ve probably listened to My Generation over a hundred times and it’s just a classic.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Aug 21 2025

Thought this was a decent rock album, I do like his unique guitar style. That being said, he doesn’t stray far from it.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Aug 22 2025

Wow, can't believe I haven't heard of this group before. Great vocals, great folk jams, great listen.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 25 2025

This was really good, I felt like I got more into the album as it went on too.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Aug 26 2025

I've heard a few of these before but enjoyed the whole album. I haven't listened to Jay-Z if forever and this was aged well IMO.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Aug 27 2025

An interesting listen, some songs I couldn't for to be over, but it wasn't all that bad. Some good ones in the mix.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 28 2025

Thought that would never end... Not one I'd recommend using headphones for, could've broken that up into 2 albums pretty easily I'd say as well.

Aug 29 2025

Second Brian Eno album sounds a little like the Talking Heads. It's derivative

Disintegration by The Cure
Sep 01 2025

If it isn't Friday I'm in Love, then get it out of here.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Sep 02 2025

This was a great chaotic 60ss rock, an all-around rocker.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 04 2025

Pure early 2000s rock, sounds a lot like Arctic Monkey's records from this era. Pleasant listen all the way through.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Sep 05 2025

I've listened to the Meat Puppets before, seemed like they were ahead of their time. Pretty good stuff on their, but not enough to get to a 4.

Roots by Sepultura
Sep 08 2025

I thought this was going to be the band Roots, not the album. My ears were caught off guard to say the least. Overall, not my jam.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Sep 09 2025

This one snuck up on me. I didn’t particularly like the other Cohen album, but this one was felt different.

So by Peter Gabriel
Sep 10 2025

It was a solid 80s album, In Your Eyes was a perfect anchor for this one.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Sep 11 2025

I’ve never heard of this band before, interesting music though. Rhyming lyrics that were not so clever, seemed like it was their shtick though.

Metallica by Metallica
Sep 12 2025

The first time I’ve listened to this whole album, I really liked the songs they liked while the other stuff was just good.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Sep 15 2025

Great early Jeff Beck guitar work, Over Under Sideways Down being a standout song.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Sep 16 2025

At first I wasn’t liking this one, but I realized that this is a moody album and that’s what they’re going for. In that regard, they nailed it, but still not something I’d be looking for.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Sep 17 2025

Avg 60s album, the Byrds should have stuck to Bob Dylan covers, that’s their bread and butter.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Sep 18 2025

I listened to this twice and I didn’t mind it the second time through. College rock is what this sounds like to me.

Sep 19 2025

Raunchy, pretty good guitar work, but ehh overall. I guess a low 3 is where I’d put it.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Sep 22 2025

80s synth pop hell, this was so bad it made me feel nauseous.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Sep 23 2025

Meh..

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
Sep 25 2025

That brother Ira was singing from the heart when he was going on about the devil and temptations.

S&M by Metallica
Sep 26 2025

The orchestra didn't work with a lot of the songs, Master of Puppets being the worst offense. I won't knock it for being 2hrs because it was a concert, but it would've been better if it was just them playing. Listening to this in two sessions helped a good deal in making it enjoyable during certain parts.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Sep 29 2025

Nice and easy listening.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Sep 30 2025

Such a greater all-around album by Neil, could be my favorite by him.

Dookie by Green Day
Oct 01 2025

Great stuff from Green Day, I had this on CD when a was a wee lad.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Oct 02 2025

A nice mix in the music, 80s celt crossover was not something I've heard too much of. Their rendition of Sweet Thing did the song justice too. Good listen.

Picture Book by Simply Red
Oct 03 2025

This is a miss for me, sounded like an 80s album for sure, but it didn't stand out.

Pump by Aerosmith
Oct 06 2025

I was leaning towards a 4 halfway through the album, but I'm really not an Aerosmith fan. Maybe it is Steven Tyler's voice, maybe it was overplayed on the radio, maybe a combo. it's probably a 4 but I don't like Aerosmith.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Oct 07 2025

ZZ Top before they were very commercial sounded good, they really refined their sound down the line, but I don't think they strayed too far from where they started musically.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Oct 08 2025

This was fun and upbeat, didn't reach the level of 4, but still a good listen.

L'Eau Rouge by The Young Gods
Oct 09 2025

French Rammstein. Sounded redundant at times, but that could be because I don't speak French.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Oct 10 2025

This album should come with a black turtleneck and sunglasses. I'm settling for a 2, this didn't move me.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Oct 13 2025

A good rocker from 1965. I had not heard of the Sonics before, but they played their own style of some classic 60s covers.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Oct 14 2025

Sounded like I was listening to the soundtrack from Coraline.

Ctrl by SZA
Oct 15 2025
Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Oct 16 2025

The instrumentals on this were really good and the other stuff was good

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Oct 17 2025

Fun and groovy, hadn’t listened to most of these songs before.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Oct 20 2025

I hate to say this, but it felt like it was noise, not music.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Oct 21 2025

Didn't feel strongly about this, wasn't bad as background music.

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Oct 22 2025

The whole album felt like a dreamscape.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Oct 23 2025

I liked the surfer song, but the rest didn't do much for me.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Oct 24 2025

I am a fan of the Stones' Mick Taylor era, and this has a lot of his influence in it.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Oct 28 2025

I haven’t listened to Alanis Morissette very much, but this album is very good.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Oct 30 2025
New Wave by The Auteurs
Oct 31 2025

It was OK

I Against I by Bad Brains
Nov 07 2025

Kind of what I expected Primal Scream to sound like.

Real Life by Magazine
Nov 11 2025

Some songs I liked, some I was hoping would be over soon. Reminds me of the Clash.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Nov 12 2025

I'm in between a 4 and 5. On one hand it is a rocking album and a huge comeback album after their lead singer died. On the other hand, they use like the same four chords for each song. I'll go 4.

Queen II by Queen
Nov 13 2025

A less over the top version of Queen. It was good, but they aren't for me.

Is This It by The Strokes
Nov 14 2025

I'm a big fan of The Strokes and this album introduced me to their music. There isn't a song on here that I don't like and at one point in time, I think each one was probably my favorite off the album. The radio hits like Last Nite and Someday are good songs, but I've listened to them too many times at this point.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Nov 17 2025

I'm not a fan of Aerosmith, but this album was solid.

Blur by Blur
Nov 20 2025

An interesting album, with an array of different styles. I'll go a high 3.

Destroyer by KISS
Nov 25 2025

This was better than I thought it would be, different from what I expected. Not a 4, but a solid 3 and easy listening. Maybe it's a 4 if I was at a BBQ and it was 80 degrees and sunny out... I miss the summer

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Nov 27 2025

There were some sections of this where it gets too "experimental" for me, but I love the Dead. St. Stephen is one of my faves and The Eleven and Turn on Your Lovelight jams were full of great energy.

American Idiot by Green Day
Dec 01 2025

My first concert was Green Day on their America Idiot tour, this album meant a lot to me at the time. First CD I bought too, or my parents bought for me at my request..

American Pie by Don McLean
Dec 02 2025

I don't like the title track, way overplayed, but the album was pretty good.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Dec 04 2025

I liked the first song, I thought I would like the rest, but the songs didn't do anything for me.

Document by R.E.M.
Dec 09 2025

What a gem, great listen.

Dec 10 2025

I thought I would like this, but I appalled it. I thought it would be a fun early 2000s rock album, which it sort of is, but my ears didn't agree with it. Too much mumble yelling.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Dec 16 2025

I didn't feel strongly about this album in either direction.

Low-Life by New Order
Dec 17 2025

This genre doesn't do it for me.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Dec 19 2025

Prob my fave of the Leonard Cohen albums so far.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Dec 22 2025

Certainly an interesting vibe, at times slow.

Liquid Swords by GZA
Dec 23 2025

Fun 90s rap album, not quite a 4 for me but I could see why people would say it is.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Dec 24 2025

Good palate cleanser album, a solid 3

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Dec 25 2025

This album is great all the way through, Neil Young elevates this one compared to CSN’s debut which I enjoyed a lot.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Dec 26 2025

Fun and easy listen.

D by White Denim
Dec 29 2025

I thought I would like this band more, maybe it needs a second listen.

Guero by Beck
Dec 30 2025

It was fine, first song was the best.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jan 02 2026

Reminded me of the band that sings love shack

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Jan 05 2026

Still not a Steely Dan fan but the album was good

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jan 06 2026

Rounding up to a 4, some classics in there but also some not so great lyrics

Jan 07 2026

I liked this more than I thought I would, besides the songs I knew already, the album had a great flow to it

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Jan 08 2026

I thought this would be a snoozer, but it was a pleasant listen, bad on me for assuming otherwise.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 09 2026

A disappointment, opens with Hotel California and doesn’t get close to that besides life in the fast lane

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jan 12 2026

No Tom's Diner???

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jan 14 2026

I don't like GNR, but this was hard to not like. Paradise City was stuck in my head for 12 hours afterwards.

Moon Safari by Air
Jan 15 2026

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. Remember was my favorite track, the Do It Again sample in the background elevated that for me.

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 20 2026

Hungry LIke the Wolf makes this a 3, the rest I could do without

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jan 22 2026

Some classics on here, still not a big fan of Fleetwood Mac though.

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jan 23 2026

Talk about an album that sounded like every genre that had a moment in the 90s/early 2000s, I heard a lot of different musical influences.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jan 27 2026

The first half was a 5, the second half was a 3.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Jan 28 2026

At times skippable, other times bearable.

Jan 30 2026

Some great songs followed by some songs I felt less strongly about.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Feb 03 2026

Pleasant surprise.

No Other by Gene Clark
Feb 04 2026

I really like the song No Other, the rest of the album didn't do it for me as much tho.

The Slider by T. Rex
Feb 05 2026

Not as good as the other T. Rex album

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 06 2026

Title track was catchy, the rest didn't stand out

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Feb 11 2026

Thought this was the Stolling Rones

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Feb 17 2026

A lot moodier than I was expecting, still pretty good indie.

Wild Gift by X
Feb 18 2026

vocals were rough, but I get it. Good album, not a 4 but some 4 worthy songs on there.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Feb 19 2026

Pretty good, sounded a little bit like No Doubt with less Reggae.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Feb 20 2026

Very spacey at times.. to be expected though

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 24 2026

At times I forgot I was listening to the Beastie Boys; I thought this was a step up from Licensed to Ill.

Pink Flag by Wire
Feb 25 2026

This one disappointed me a bit, was waiting for it to kick in, but it never did.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Feb 26 2026

Felt like a very long 35 minutes.. didn't do it for me

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Feb 27 2026

I liked this one more than Hysteria, I tried to imagine myself with a blonde mullet in a backyard at a BBQ, but that only held for so long before reality set back in.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 02 2026

pretty good indie album

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 05 2026

This has been the most enjoyable Nick Cave album so far.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 06 2026

This is much different from the material I'm used to hearing on the radio. I like some of his songs, but I wouldn't call myself a "fan" of his music. This album was a decent listen, especially considering it was released in the early 2000s after his prime. Kind of a long album, but Worlds Apart and the Rising were my fave songs from the album.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
Mar 13 2026

there were some good songs, and some not so good ones. Rodney Yates was prob my fave.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Mar 17 2026

I Can't Help Myself, was my fave song. pretty good album, nothing that blew me away but decent listen.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Mar 18 2026

Fave track was I Am Waiting, the rest was OK. Paint It Black is overplayed and I don't like Under My Thumb.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Mar 19 2026
Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Mar 20 2026

Didn't care for this, nothing grabbed my attention.

Mar 23 2026

I'm not really a Queen fan, but I thought this was a good listen. So much talent in this group on full display.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Mar 24 2026

It was fun to listen back to this album, I remember the Somebody Told Me music video playing on MTV all the time when I was a kid.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 25 2026

I liked this more than I thought I would, Jeffy has a good voice and not every song was sappy like I thought it would be.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 26 2026

Step and snap, step and snap. Mostly covers? Won't check the wiki but I enjoyed.

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Mar 27 2026

Cheesy meets catchy

Elephant by The White Stripes
Jul 16 2026

Between a 3 and a 4 for me. I think the music was good, but I don't think I would reach for this album over other 4s. I'll give it a high 3 which also doesn't feel right considering the number of shite albums I've said were "decent" and gave a 3. Ehhh, I guess it's a 4 then.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jul 17 2026

This album had the ability to slow time and make 39 minutes feel like 1.5hrs in a bad way. Deer Stop was my least fave here.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jul 20 2026

This album displays the unmatched power the Who had during this era. I used to listen to this concert from start to finish and the We're Not Gonna Take It/See Me Feel Me medley gets me every time. It's impossible to compare their studio albums to the live stuff and for that reason I totally get why this is album in on here.

Jul 21 2026

A lot of range on this album, I'm not a big Queen fan so I was surprised to hear someone other than Freddie Mercury singing.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 22 2026

Enjoyed it all the way through.

Jul 23 2026

The kings of Bob Dylan covers... Rest of the album was a nice mix of country and folk

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Jul 24 2026

Sonic Youth just doesn't do it for me.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jul 27 2026

Thought it was only OK.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jul 28 2026

Chaotic album, but I think it came together in a way that made it a really good listen.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jul 29 2026

Good Nick Drake album, he's got a distinct sound and it's good stuff. I don't think I could listen to him on rotation, but his music does remind me of the fall, so I can see myself putting this on when the air starts to get crisp and cool.
