Popular Reviews

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground

Overall, I did like this album. No songs really stood out to me, but it was a good vibe all the way through. Some of the lyrics were really nice and I liked the sound.

All Ratings (74)

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 26 2024

The album had a good vibe and it got better and better as it went on. It was a consistent sound that had a few fun builds here and there. Sultans of Swing is the high point, but the songs that followed were all good.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 27 2024

I really liked this album. It's got great energy from start to finish. It's consistent all the way through and I'd love to listen again.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Apr 28 2024

This album had some really high notes and I did like the overall vibe, but it felt a little inconsistent in parts. Not in a bad way, just an unexpected way.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Apr 29 2024

Great album. I loved how consistent it was. Loved the instrumental song. Loved the other genres blending in every now and then.

Odelay by Beck
Apr 30 2024

This album is great. It's so fun and quintessentially 90s. I love the experimentation and the consistency. It's got a great vibe. I enjoyed it so much I listened twice.

Revolver by Beatles
May 01 2024

This was a good album. 'Eleanor Rigby' is the high note with a few other good songs supporting that. As always, The Beatles do a few silly songs too which aren't my favorite, but overall this was a good album.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
May 02 2024

I’m not a big Elvis fan, but I did enjoy this album. It’s upbeat and energetic. He sounds great. It alternates between dancing and love songs. I probably wouldn’t listen again, but for what it was, I did enjoy it.

Trio by Dolly Parton
May 03 2024

This is a slow, sad album that's really about heartbreak, dealing with it and moving on. I really enjoyed the different voices and perspectives. All the lyrics felt very ownable to the women singing each song. I particularly enjoyed 'Wildflowers' sung by Dolly Parton.

All Directions by The Temptations
May 04 2024

I liked the album overall. It definitely took me by surprise a few times with the direction it went in, but it was enjoyable. I felt like I went on a journey when I was listening to it and I didn't know where it would take me next.

Tommy by The Who
May 05 2024

This was such an interesting concept. It took me a few songs to pick up on the theme. Overall, the album was captivating as it told the story of Tommy Walker and everything he went through.

Boston by Boston
May 07 2024

This was a really good album. It was upbeat and fun, good vibes and singing. I enjoyed how consistent and solid it was.

Hms Fable by Shack
May 08 2024

This album was chill and easy to listen to, but I didn't find it very inspiring overall. There were some nice moments. I preferred the slower songs in the minor keys.

May 09 2024

I liked this album a lot. It was more fun than the usual silliness I sometimes expect from The Beatles. It also had some classics which are always fun to listen to within the context of the greater album. I enjoyed it and listened twice.

Sincere by Mj Cole
May 10 2024

I'm not a huge fan of this style of music and it's a very long album, but I did enjoy it. It's good background music. It did feel repetitive, but I think that's the nature of the genre.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
May 11 2024

I loved this album. From start to finish, it's a masterpiece in storytelling and conveying - and provoking - emotion. I was stunned listening to a few of the songs.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
May 13 2024

I enjoyed this album from top to bottom. It was fun, it was dynamic. It felt consistent and experimental.

Abraxas by Santana
May 14 2024

I enjoyed the whole vibe of this album. It's easy to listen to, great background music. I enjoyed all the instrumentals and how lyrics were used sparsely throughout.

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
May 15 2024

This is a fun album. I really enjoyed the blend of the different genres and styles. The upbeat, dance songs were fun and put me in a good mood. The lyrics were wild, but in a fun way.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
May 16 2024

I enjoyed this album a lot. It's a great blend of 70s punk and more melodic rock. The album is consistent and interesting, full of dark lyrics. You can see all the bands they drew inspiration from and all the ones they inspired later.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 17 2024

The album has a good vibe. It's very dance-y and upbeat, but I didn't find it very inspiring.

Rapture by Anita Baker
May 19 2024

It’s a classic, consistent album though it’s only 4 songs. “Sweet Love” is the biggest hit and it’s still such a great song.

May 20 2024

This album was great. I listened to it twice and was vibing the whole time. It’s energetic, interesting and such a cool sound.

Imagine by John Lennon
May 21 2024

This was a good album. It's consistently well-written and touches on a few different genres of music. I like how in-depth most of the lyrics are and what the subject matter was for most of the album.

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
May 22 2024

The album is consistent, but almost to the point of being repetitive. Hearing the themes against the upbeat 80s synth is really interesting, but overall I found the album uninspiring and repetitive.

British Steel by Judas Priest
May 23 2024

This is a fun album. I love hearing how British metal evolves from the late 70s to early 80s. It's upbeat, heavy, melodic. I enjoyed it from start to finish and listened twice.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 24 2024

Such a great album that fully showcases Billy Joel's beautiful songwriting and storytelling skills. It's an interesting mix of genres too - disco, gospel/soul, rock, pop. I was also impressed with Billy Joel's vocal capabilities here. He doesn't always get enough credit in that area.

The Bends by Radiohead
May 25 2024

This is a great album. It’s chill. It has upbeat moments. I enjoy listening to it.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
May 26 2024

I enjoyed this album so much. The lead singer is such a rock star. The presence, the heaviness, the lyrics. It’s great all around.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 27 2024

One of my favorite albums of all times, perhaps the best debut album of all time. The exploration, the genre pushing, the content. It never gets old and I’ve listened dozens of times.

Electric by The Cult
May 29 2024

I really enjoyed this album. It's heavy, but melodic. It's fun. It has moments where it feels very 80s and a product of it's time, and a lot more where it feels innovative and fresh.

The La's by The La's
May 30 2024

This album was pretty good. It honestly was just too long and felt like it was drawn out a bit too much. The first half is nice, it's consistent. It feels like the beginnings of good 90s music - impressive for 1989. The end feels a lot like The Beatles. Overall, it wasn't bad, but it wasn't my cup of tea.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
May 31 2024

I really enjoyed this album. It had suck an interesting mix of blues, folk and then more upbeat moments. I don't speak the language so I don't know what any of the songs were about, but the melodies and instrumentals said so much.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jun 01 2024

I liked this album because I like Soundgarden. It had great moments and I enjoyed the vibe overall, but I found it repetitive, almost like it blended together.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jun 02 2024

The storytelling leads the way on this album. I wasn’t over interested in it otherwise and didn’t enjoy the songs that are very much a product of its time, but the stories throughout the album were interesting.

The Coral by The Coral
Jun 03 2024

This album was weirdly fun. They sound like a dance-y folk band in spooky animated movie in the best way. I enjoyed how consistent that sound and vibe were through the album.

Jun 04 2024

This album is great. It's just Otis Redding covering other songs mixed in with some originals. It's such a good take on all the covers. It's upbeat and full of soul. I thoroughly enjoyed it and listened twice.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Jun 05 2024

This is quintessential Morrissey album. It's rhythmic and lyrical. It's a bit one-note at times, but I did really enjoy it.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jun 06 2024

This was a fun album. I enjoyed the vibe and really enjoyed some of the lyrics. It was fun!

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Jun 07 2024

This album is really fun. It's just goth, rockabilly all the way through. Every song puts me into the mind of vintage monster movies in the best way. It's a cool vibe that I enjoyed a lot.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jun 08 2024

Overall, I did like this album. No songs really stood out to me, but it was a good vibe all the way through. Some of the lyrics were really nice and I liked the sound.

Jun 10 2024

I knew this album would be great going in, it’s considered one of the best of all time for a reason - it is. The rapping and singing, both at such high levels, is endlessly impressive. The content is really powerful and surprisingly relevant too, even 26 years later.

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jun 11 2024

This album was a good time. It's fun, it's upbeat, it's good vibes. I really enjoyed playing it. Unfortunately, 6 of the 14 songs aren't available on Spotify any longer so I could only listen to 8 songs, but what I did hear was really enjoyable.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jun 12 2024

I really enjoyed this album. I was only familiar with 'Lovefool' going in, but the whole album is quite a bit more edgy than I expected. It's pop, but in a very indie rock way. It's even got heavy moments. The vocals are such a contrast to some of the music, even the lyrics at times. I was very pleasantly surprised.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Jun 13 2024

This is a chill, smooth jazz samba album. It's great background music and I did enjoy the vibe.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Jun 14 2024

I'm not a fan of live albums, but I thought this landed and held up really well. It's fun and I can feel the energy without it being distracting or sounding too much like a live album. Overall, very solid rock album that sounded great live.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jun 15 2024

I liked this album. It was high energy from the beginning and even it's longest songs didn't feel like they dragged. The banjo interludes took me out of the experience a bit, but it still made for a solid album.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Jun 16 2024

I'm not a country fan so this was a tough go at the beginning, but as the album continued and it progressed into more of a bridge between country and rock, I got it. It felt very new and interesting to make that connection between what must have, at the time, been two distinct genres. The back half of the album is much stronger than the first. I won't listen again and I can't claim to be a fan, but I see how influential this album must have been.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Jun 17 2024

Such a fun, consistent album. The energy never wanes, even in songs about heartbreak. The upbeat, rock ‘n roll is great and I can see how directly impacted music for decades to come.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 18 2024

I really enjoyed the album. It was heavier than I expected and had a great vibe all the way through. What I didn’t expect was how long it was - 28 songs, 2 hours. It’s full of great content, but it is a bit too long.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jun 19 2024

I liked this album a lot. I haven't listened to much Paul McCartney separate from The Beatles, but I was familiar with the song 'Band On The Run'. I don't think I realized it was him. The whole album has a much chiller vibe than I expected. It feels very 70s and I really dug that.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jun 20 2024

This album was much chiller than I expected. It's a good vibe all the way through with some interesting, experimental tracks.

Jun 21 2024

This was an interesting album. It started out predictably (in a good way) like a 60s rock/folk album would, but veered quickly into more of an experimental space with lots of synthesizers and sitar-like sounds. The concepts were interesting and I enjoyed them.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jun 22 2024

Every Radiohead album that comes up, I wish I'd listened to them all along. This another great album. It's chiller than some of their past ones, but it's still a good vibe. I listened twice and enjoyed it both times.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Jun 23 2024

This was an interesting album. It started off like a standard late 60s rock album, but turned into more of an upbeat carnival vibe by the end. I really enjoyed the first half, but was a bit confused by the second.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jun 24 2024

This is a fantastic album. Janis Joplin is such a rockstar. Her voice carries every song, but it’s set against impressively heavy music and really blended seamlessly with it. I listened twice and will listen again in the future.

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jun 25 2024

This is a great album. It seems like such a unique space in the rock genre because it leans heavily into electronic music. I've always liked NIN, but I'd never listened to the whole album before. It's consistently great all the way through. 'Hurt' is a hell of a closing song too. I listened three times.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Jun 26 2024

I did like this album. It's fun, it's upbeat. I enjoy melodic, dramatic rock the 80s. I don't know if I loved it, but it's a good, consistent album.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Jun 29 2024

This is a good album. It's fairly chill and consistent all the way through, never leaning too heavy. The best and most famous song is Riders On The Storm which appears last on the album. It's a hell of a close.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jun 30 2024

I really liked this album. It's an upbeat combination of punk and metal with those soaring 80s vocals.

Jul 03 2024

This is a great album. It's such a good vibe all the way through. It's so chill, but got me hype at the same time. I enjoyed the classic versions and the remixed/remastered ones.

Sunshine Superman by Donovan
Jul 04 2024

This was an unexpectedly good album. I can see very clearly how it influenced all the psychedelic rock of the 60s. It feels innovative and fresh, but still with that distinct 1960s sound.

Vespertine by Björk
Jul 05 2024

I’ve never listened to a Björk album before so I didn’t know what to expect but I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s such an interesting sound, but the beats plus powerful, almost haunting vocals, made for a great listening experience. I really enjoyed the album.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jul 07 2024

I liked this album. It felt more 80s than late 70s to me which was unexpected, but I liked the vibe.

Pornography by The Cure
Jul 08 2024

I loved this album. It’s so dramatic and haunting, but heavy at the same time. Lyrically it’s dark and interesting all the way through. I’ll absolutely be listening again…many times.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 09 2024

It's so interesting hearing some of the early Stones albums knowing what they'll evolve to and the impact they have on music. This album has a lot of 60s vibes, but you can hear the minor chords and the darker, heavier undertones throughout the album. Overall, it's a very good, cohesive album that I enjoyed a lot.

Jul 10 2024

I didn't know what to expect going in because I'd never heard of Minutemen, but I was blown away by this album. I'm a big fan of Sublime, The Offspring, No Doubt, RHCP - 90s punk, ska bands in general - so I didn't expect to find this sound in a band from the early 80s. The influence on the bands I love is so clear in this album. It's a lot of songs (43) and it's a bit overwhelming at times, but overall a consistent, fun, upbeat, awesome punk album.

Crazysexycool by TLC
Jul 11 2024

I was pretty familiar with this album, but haven’t heard it in decades. It was such a nostalgia trip to go back and enjoy it. The songs, the subject matter, it all still holds up decades later. I enjoyed it a lot.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 12 2024

This was a chill album. It's very 80s which is impressive seeing as how it was made in exactly 1980. It's a good vibe all the way through. I listened twice.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jul 13 2024

This was a great album. The instrumental solos are probably my favorite part, but lyrically it’s powerful and consistent all the way through.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 16 2024

This is a classic album for a weekend. It's got all the hits - Born In The USA, Glory Days, Dancing In The Dark - interspersed throughout with just quintessential Bruce Springsteen songs in between. The lyrics, the voice, toeing the line between rock and pop. it's all good. I really enjoyed the album.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 18 2024

I'd call myself a RHCP fan, but I've never actually listened to a whole album. This was awesome. I never realized how varied their music was - rock, hip hop, ballads. It was a whole experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I listened to the album twice.
