Popular Reviews

Signing Off by UB40

I don't like Reggae, especially this. The songs are all the same, his voice is lazy and his fake accent is off-putting, the saxophone solos are kinda poor a d high school level. I couldn't wait for this to be over.

1-Star Albums (62)

All Ratings (729)

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 23 2024

Surprisingly good, unexpected amount of cursing, which felt weirdly modern. Sort of bored by the end but glad to have listened. Didn't hate, but wouldn't probably listen again.

Apr 24 2024

Astonishing production, really does sound like they made it in their basement, and that it's still very creative and funny and entertaining is very impressive. Not much into hip-hop and my rating is for how likely I am to listen again, so only a 3. Still had to have experienced it.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Apr 25 2024

Nothing I can say that hasn't been said. IMO greatest album of all time, no skips, all bangers.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Apr 26 2024

Listened twice, second time convinced me it was a 5.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Apr 27 2024

Didn't dislike it, but I prefer a bit of distinction between songs and it sort of all ran together for me.

Apr 28 2024

I was surprised that I felt this way about the album even though i only knew the two big hits. It felt like time flew by listening to it

Different Class by Pulp
Apr 30 2024

Even the good songs would have been much better if they were sung by someone else. Incessant droning.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
May 01 2024

These songs are great. Groovy, good songwriting, heartfelt. However, Tom Waits should not be allowed to sing anything and that is a hill I will die on. My vocal chords hurt just listening to him.

Signing Off by UB40
May 02 2024

I don't like Reggae, especially this. The songs are all the same, his voice is lazy and his fake accent is off-putting, the saxophone solos are kinda poor a d high school level. I couldn't wait for this to be over.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
May 03 2024

I was hoping to like this but I really didn't. I didn't think any of the songs were particularly special or memorable, though I liked the sound of them. Her rhymes were often really trite and guessable, and her vibrato is all over the place. That makes her pitchy to my ear and it becomes sorta cringy to listen to. Not for me unfortunately.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
May 04 2024

Utterly charming

May 05 2024

Parts of this are really shocking, but it's a great listen and I really enjoyed it.

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 07 2024

I wouldn't listen again, but I wasn't unhappy listening to it.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
May 08 2024

I can tell that this is pretty decent for what it is, but I'd be absolutely never choose to listen to it again.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 09 2024

This was a great listen! Sometimes a little samey, but the songs are excellent.

Electric by The Cult
May 10 2024

Fine, but voting. Each song sounded almost exactly the same as the last.

All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot
May 12 2024

I was going to give it a 3 because I weirdly did not hate listening to it, though I'll never ever do it again. I ended up deciding on a 2 because 70 minutes of this is just way too long.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
May 13 2024

I enjoyed listening to it, but it gets a bit same-y after a while, and his voice starts to get a little annoying. He sings with almost no enunciation and does the same vocal tricks in every song, so I wish there was more variation. The hits are great, of course.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
May 14 2024

Great, so much soul and a great story.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
May 15 2024

A fun listen, though I wouldn't ever do it again :)

May 16 2024

I love afrobeat and these songs had a great rhythm and great mood to them, but I did not think there was much of a variation from song to song. It felt like a slog after about 15 minutes, and I'd happily take one song on its own, but a whole album sorta put me to sleep. High level of musicianship, but I wouldn't listen again.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
May 17 2024

This is the first album of the project where I really discovered something new that I liked! Her voice is really great and I love the attitude of the music. It's not the type of album I'd buy, that's why it's not 5 stars, but I was pleasantly surprised!

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 18 2024

I really really want to like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, because they are very cool. But it's too much noise for me, every single song sounds the same except Maps, there are too many moans, and Karen O isn't really singing, she's just sorta yelling. I understand that some people like that, but as a singer myself, I don't. It's really not for me and I'm sad about it.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
May 19 2024

The most beautiful drunk singing I've heard in a while. This is really awful. He's a great singer in theory so I assumed that I wouldn't hate it, but he just drones on and on and his vibrato started to make me feel seasick. He has arranged the orchestration of each song as if he is Beethoven himself, but none of the songs stand up to it. They're extremely repetitive, not very creative, the phrases are long and boring, and I can't understand a damn word he's singing anyway. This album is pompous and was torture to listen to.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
May 20 2024

Worth listening to, though I wouldn't again. High musicality.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
May 21 2024

Was fine, a little boring. Message in a Bottle is clearly the best song on here a d it's the opener, so it goes a little downhill.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
May 22 2024

I don't know if I would have given this a 5 were I not obsessed with the Beatles and already a huge George Harrison fan. Not every song is a winner, but I'd buy it and I'd listen to it again, because it's a snapshot of life out on his own for the first time and it's very charming to me. Plus there are some really wonderful songs on here.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
May 24 2024

Production is stunning, her voice is beautiful, but the songs have no life in them. Feels like every one was just written to "be a hit," when really none of them are. I don't believe the songwriting, and I didn't need to listen to this.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 25 2024

My first time listening to Iron Maiden. Didn't blow me away but I also didn't beg for it to be over.

On The Beach by Neil Young
May 26 2024

Pleasant but boring, no songs that stuck out to me.

Liquid Swords by GZA
May 27 2024

I'm never going to choose to listen to this, but I enjoyed parts of it.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
May 28 2024

At least one of these stars is just for Gimme Shelter, but still enjoyed the whole album.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
May 29 2024

This was a great surprise, never heard of them and I really enjoyed it. They play with genre really effectively, and the songs can be very silly but it feels very authentic.

The Predator by Ice Cube
May 30 2024

I feel so bad giving this a 2, especially when I see all the reviews here. But I rate for myself and how likely I am to listen again, and I won't. There's nothing wrong with it, I appreciate the lyrics and how important this album was at the time, and I like that he is very political. But I'm not a fan of hip hop and I'm always just waiting for it to be over. I much preferred the Wu-Tang.

Dry by PJ Harvey
May 31 2024

I thought this was awful. Terrible singing, non-existent production, rambling songwriting. I'm interested to hear her other albums as people seem to really like her, but I'd never listen to this again.

2112 by Rush
Jun 01 2024

I appreciate the creativity of this album, but it wasn't my favorite.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 02 2024

I really like Susanne Vega, her voice is so pleasant. No heavy hitters on this album, but I enjoyed listening to it.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jun 03 2024

I respect this. But I have to be honest with myself that I didn't like listening to it.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 04 2024

Chris Cornell's vocals are stellar, but this album is too long. I enjoyed listening to it, the band is great and I will happily listen to him sing, but as an album I thought there was too much filler.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
Jun 05 2024

I loved reading about him, Touré seemed like a really good human. Reading about how music in Mali has since been outlawed was also sad to hear, but I'm glad I know about it now. Great guitar playing, really high musicianship. I respect this a lot. The 3 is because I read l rate based on whether I'd listen again.

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Jun 06 2024

The perfect mix of Old Beatles and New Beatles.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Jun 07 2024

Never heard of this before, but I really liked it!

Dookie by Green Day
Jun 08 2024

Look, I love Green Day and Dookie is a classic. Upon careful listening, it's really a variation on a theme, there are some absolute bangers on here, but the others are like.. less good versions of the bangers. It's knocked it from 5 to 4 for me.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jun 09 2024

I want to like this. I love The Bends, it's one of my favorites. But this just feels like a pretentious collection of Soundscapes.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jun 10 2024

This was hard. I've loved These Days for a long time, but l admit I like the song more than I like her performance. Her accent is so distracting, it causes her to make really strange singing choices.

Synchronicity by The Police
Jun 11 2024

Don't care for it. Every breath you take is good.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Jun 14 2024

I don't think hip hop is for me.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jun 15 2024

Pleasant but boring after a few songs

xx by The xx
Jun 16 2024

Too soundscape-y.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 17 2024

Really enjoyed this one.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 18 2024

My first Bowie album! Heroes is clearly the best song on the album, but I listened twice and enjoyed all of it.

Closer by Joy Division
Jun 19 2024

The hell is this? No redeeming qualities.

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Jun 20 2024

My first Cat Stevens! He's a great songwriter, and this album is really charming. Will visit again.

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Jun 21 2024

I'd never heard of this, but really enjoyed it. It does sound like an insane clown is going to kill you, but there are some real nice songs on here and I'm a big fan of Psychedelia

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jun 22 2024

Really hard to rate. Dusty has an incredible voice that is still relevant today whilst other singers might fall into the category of old fashioned. Turned out that I knew nearly every other song as well! I wouldn't sit and listen through this again, but I enjoyed nearly every song on here.

Jun 24 2024

The big hits are great. Loved the addition of R&B and jazz, just way way too long.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jun 26 2024

My favorite of the eras.

Jun 28 2024

I've avidly disliked Tom Waits, his voice sounds like he's in a meat grinder and as a singer myself it gives me anxiety. However, this album, I get. It's super charming, there's really high quality to the musicianship, his stories are funny, and it's unique. Cool stuff.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jun 29 2024

This was new to me, really enjoyed it.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jun 30 2024

First three songs are the best, all others are like worse versions of them. Also weird to heard Beyonce sing about tearing other women down. Didn't age well..

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 01 2024

I don't like prog Rock, but this was great. High musicality, loved the complicated time signatures.

The Cars by The Cars
Jul 02 2024

Grew up listening to this one, brilliant.

Timeless by Goldie
Jul 03 2024

I can't listen to this.

Roots by Sepultura
Jul 10 2024

This firmly gets a positive review from me, I enjoyed it a lot and respect what this album is trying to do. The inclusion of all the indigenous music and instruments really adds to the entire sound and doesn't feel gimmicky in the slightest. I can't give it higher than a 3 because I rate based on my likeliness of listening again, and metal is 100% not my cup of tea, but I'm really glad I got the chance to listen to this. Respect.
