Popular Reviews

Stardust by Willie Nelson

I'm coming back from a night of drinking, I'm completely hungover. There was no better time to listen to a Willie Nelson album! I mean, I feel like I'm in heaven, shit, I threw up during September Song, it was just beautiful!

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina

BRAZIL MENTIONED!! Elis is arguably the greatest female singer in my country of all time! Hearing her voice is a blessing! This album has great songs and can be considered an excellent introduction to Elis's discography. I was very happy to have received this album today. Elis Regina is a pride of Brazil!

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17

It's because of albums like this that I've been on 1001albunsgenerator for 227 consecutive days. Discovering gems like these on a Thursday night is priceless. The album has a very creative sound, built on funk grooves. 38 minutes very well spent! Great lyrics. The vocalist sounds like Ian Curtis had joined a disco band. I don't usually give 5 stars to a newly discovered album, but today, I'll make an exception.

Reign In Blood by Slayer

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ANGEL OF THE DEAAAAAAATH!!!!!

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams

You know when a song hits you in a totally different way and you start to have familiar, comforting feelings? That's what happened today. I knew the name Robbie Williams, because I've been a huge fan of Oasis and the Gallagher brothers since I was a teenager, and apparently they didn't get along very well in the late 90s, trading public barbs and shit. And like the stupid fan I was, I wore an Oasis shirt as if it were a football team and I've never heard a single Robbie song to this day, at least as far as I know, and I'll explain why. There is a Brazilian forró band called "Nostalgia do Forró" that recorded a Portuguese version of Angels, which I listened to exhaustively when I was a child. So the moment Angels started playing, it was like coming home, to simpler days and away from problems. Other than that, all the prejudices I had regarding Robbie died today listening to this album. This is more than enough reason to give 5 stars!

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Apr 30 2024

Absolute Bang! Live album with such a massive sound. Purple at their prime: no mistakes! Actually, you can hear mistakes in their performances. Even just a few. But that's what make this album so great: Their REAL! They're actually playing. And playing very well!

Revolver by Beatles
May 01 2024

This was an excellent surprise. Revolver is one of the most indispensable albums of my life. Revolutionary album; magnificent songs; Beatles at their peak: no mistakes! 10/10

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 03 2024

A 2000's Classic! It's so good to hear Chester's voice again. It's huge for a first album. In The End is an imortal song!

May 04 2024

I still can't believe that even after all these years, this album still gives me goosebumps. Definitely an immortal album that breathes fresh air to this day

Dry by PJ Harvey
May 05 2024

Interesting discovery! It was like listening to Alanis Morissette in a grunge band. I feel like one day wasn't enough to properly appreciate this. I'll need a few more rounds to digest it properly. I wonder where I was, I had never heard this before...

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
May 06 2024

Fantastic! The best that the 70s sound had, compressed into a single album. I was won over at the exact moment the chords of Rikki Don't Lose That Number began to sound. Many artists from my homeland (Brazil) speak very highly of Steely Dan. This was the perfect opportunity for me to delve deeper into their work!

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
May 07 2024

Today was the day to dust off my old CD to enjoy some of this music that has already been imprinted in my soul since I was a teenager. There's not much to say. Absolute classic that never gets old

Rapture by Anita Baker
May 08 2024

When a woman with a voice as powerful as this can achieve the sweetest melodies, something special is certainly about to come. It wasn't a surprise at all. When I looked at the album cover I already expected to hear a spectacular voice and I was more than right. It was a pleasant surprise!

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 11 2024

If today I am a great admirer of Dylan's work, I owe it to this album, which was responsible for opening the doors to this universe that this gentleman provides us with. Absolute Classic!

Eagles by Eagles
May 12 2024

In my opinion, Eagles represents the perfect stereotype of an American rock band from the 70's. Rock of the highest quality, of course! It's unbelievable that they managed to make an album with such sound quality on its first release. Take it Easy is in every classic collection from the 70s, for sure!

Chris by Christine and the Queens
May 13 2024

It's not my kind of music, for sure. But in such a decadent pop music scene, this album sounds like a breath of fresh air. Very well done and well produced. But as I said before: It's not something I'll hear every day.

Metallica by Metallica
May 14 2024

Another CD that had its dust removed today. It was great to remember this album that I've been listening to since I was a teenager. To this day, if I want to introduce Heavy Metal to someone who has never had contact with the genre, this is the album I recommend every time, after all, it is synonymous with this type of sound!

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
May 15 2024

Black Sabbath with Ozzy didn't make a single bad album. I don't think they even made a single bad song at that time. Classic band, with 4 classic members, playing in a raw way and making classic albums. There is nothing more to say!

Real Life by Magazine
May 16 2024

Punk Rock albums tend to be Russian roulette: you don't know if you're going to hear a masterpiece or a piece of shit. But today was a pleasant surprise. I've been hearing about Magazine for a long time, but only today I had my first experience. Excellent sound for a 1978 album, good songs, very well performed... perfect album!

Risque by CHIC
May 17 2024

A golden age disco album. Absolutely everything that came out at that time is either very good or has become a classic. I didn't know CHIC. But when I looked at the album cover I already knew it was going to be BANG!

Ramones by Ramones
May 18 2024

This album has a timeless sound that, even after almost five decades, still sounds like the music of a young rebellious teenager. Blitzkrieg Bop has become a classic that tops all playlists and collections of Punk Rock Anthems. Legendary!

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
May 19 2024

Agressive and Young! I Kinda Like It!! It's like Nirvana meeting Green Day.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
May 20 2024

Without a doubt, this is the most different album I've ever heard. Especially because I had never heard an album of just acapella songs before. It's not the kind of thing to listen to casually. It has to be felt and observed, every little thing. It definitely has its value! The voices are very well harmonized. They make whoever listens to them feel comfortable and welcomed.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
May 21 2024

Perfect Rock album with the perfect lineup of members. They could have just made this record and then disappeared from the face of the earth, and they would still be considered legends. For me personally, the album has enormous credit for completely changing the face of the Rock n Roll scene at the time, bringing the good old sound in a raw and naked way.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
May 22 2024

I always thought that the band Roxy Music didn't have much "More Than This". I was apparently mistaken. Pleasant surprise; great album!

Stankonia by OutKast
May 23 2024

Great rap album! It has the sound of the 2000s. Nostalgic and heavy!

Pornography by The Cure
May 24 2024

Probably one of the best Goth Rock albums I've ever heard. One Hundred Year and The Hanging Garden top most playlists and compilations of the genre. A curious fact is that I had never heard this entire album from start to finish in the sequence of tracks in which it was released. However, I already knew all the songs, precisely because they appear on all Goth Rock playlists. And in fact: they work much better together and in this sequence. Excellent Album!

Nowadays we live in a disgusting cult of celebrities. This could have started much sooner if these young Brits hadn't had the courage to express their anger. There is no way to imagine a world without Punk Rock and, without a doubt, this album is the definitive album of this genre. Album that made the great Rockstars come down from their pedestals as celestial and untouchable beings, in the presence of a band that spoke to the people.

May 26 2024

I'm not a great connoisseur of Talking Heads' work, much less David Byrne. I had never even heard of Brian eno. So all I expected was Psycho Killer type, but it wasn't. It was actually a very interesting musical experience. An experimental album that definitely has its value and must be enjoyed calmly. But it's not something I'll hear every day.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
May 27 2024

A rap album with a much thicker sound than I'm used to hearing. It was a pleasant surprise!

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
May 28 2024

It's impressive how an album based on such simple vocals and guitars can be so stupendous and comfortable to listen to. I didn't know Leonard Cohen. Little did I know that he is the composer of the legendary "Hallelujah". And even fewer knew that this was his first album. Still, the voice delivery and interpretation, and especially the lyrics, can be divine.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 29 2024

The Temptations is one of the musical groups that has been on my waiting list for a long time. Then the day arrived and everything I heard met my expectations. The wonderful songs My Girl and Papa Was A Rolling Stone have been part of my life for years and this album gave me everything I expected and more. Sensational! What else can I say? That's my kind of music!

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
May 30 2024

Instruments very well fitted, songs very well made and performed. A beautiful album to listen to on a Wednesday afternoon while drinking tea.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
May 31 2024

Have you ever heard an album that made you feel like you were coming home? Well then: this is exactly the feeling this album gives me. Van Morrisson had been on my waiting list for some time and this was a pleasant surprise.

Debut by Björk
Jun 01 2024

Honestly, I've never heard someone mix so many dissonant musical genres before without it sounding weird. On the contrary, it sounds fantastic. Her voice sounds like magic. Even though it's not really my type of music, I was impressed. I've proven that she really is what people say she is and this is just her first album... I can't wait for the others!

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 02 2024

One of my top 20 favorite of all time for sure. And probably the best debut album of all time. No mistakes e no surprises here. Just the best that rock n roll has to offer!

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jun 03 2024

I believe that's the first time I hear a jazz fusion album. Still got a lot to know. Boys like Zappa has been on my waiting list for a long time. Anyway. That was a great experience. I had to listen twice to get the feeling but it worked: Now i'm totaly into Jazz Fusion and i want to hear more! 4 stars that's the vote.

Jun 04 2024

Dylan between 65-76 it's just perfect. There's not much to say about this. An album with Maggies Farm, Tambourine Man and Baby Blue must to be a Great album!

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jun 05 2024

Brazil Mentioned! Brazil Mentioned! So good to hear something from my motherland. And what an album! Revolutionary and psychedelic. It represents some of the best Brazilian music has to offer. VIVA RITA LEE!!

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Jun 06 2024

I felt under the influence of ecstasy and was completely sober. What kind of music is this? How can the union of so many different sounds make you so "fast"? It's definitely not the kind of thing I hear every day, but it's definitely the first time I've heard something I can't understand. Therefore I am not able to apply a true assessment. I will give 3 stars

25 by Adele
Jun 07 2024

This is the best singer of this century. She only made 4 albums. And she couldn't make any bad songs! It was great to remember 25. I haven't listened to it in years. "Hello" still gives the same goosebumps from when it was the most listened to song in the world in 2016. Goosebumps! This is the word that defines her voice throughout her career, but especially on this album she was splendid. And even more especially in songs that give the impression that this woman is capable of absolutely anything, having only her voice and the piano in possession. 5 stars, of course!

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 08 2024

An icon of the 2000s. Amy is greatly missed today, for her originality and talent. Back To Black is certainly one of the 5 best albums of the 2000s. The rating will be nothing other than 5 stars.

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jun 09 2024

Okay this is boring. Seems like a background of some clothes shop.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Jun 10 2024

At certain times, Barry invites you to a soft or lively dance in a ballroom with a jazz group playing in the background. At other times, Barry invites you for a late-night car ride. And at another point, he puts you to sleep on a bed of nails, along with your own mental discomforts. This was, without a doubt, a very ambiguous and intriguing experience.

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 11 2024

Well, this is a classic! I'm feelling like 16 again! Jump was my clock alarm every morning when i was in highschool and Panama was the Bus Anthem! Even though I'm drowning in this feeling of nostalgia, there's something about this album that brings a sense of youth to whoever listens. Because it's fast and quick hahahaha. Jokes Apart. This album has never gotten old. This still smells like teenage spirit, full of pimples and horny! Exactly how I once was.

Jun 12 2024

You know that feeling of not understanding a single word of the song's lyrics? That's the feeling! The only word I understood from the entire album was actually the song title "Obrigado" (which means Thank You) because it's in my native language (Portuguese). But the question is: WHO CARES ABOUT THIS? My body didn't stop moving for a single moment. The instruments are very well played and have a captivating rhythm. It's very similar to another genre of music here in Brazil called "Lambada". And that means that I really felt at home listening to this album.

Jun 13 2024

This is probably the best album of the 2000s. The songs on this album still sound fresh even 18 years later. If I want to show someone older what it means to be young in my generation, I'll show them this album. Plus: A Certain Romance is one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life. The feeling of being inside an old 69 Mustang at 100 miles per hour that this song gives me at its climax is still an indescribable emotion for me.

Achtung Baby by U2
Jun 14 2024

If my band does an album like joshua's tree, I swear, we're gonna dissapear from earth and be legends forever. But U2 did not. Achtung Baby proves that they never were lazy. They're always trying to bring something new and fresh. Inovating their music. This is not one of my favorite U2 albuns, but certainly is a classic!

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jun 15 2024

I listened to the 1998 remastered version of this album and I honestly can't say if it makes any difference to the original release. But the fact is: This 1956 album seems much better recorded than many from the following decade. The quality of the instrumentals is impressive. I had never heard an album from the 50s of such quality. And what about Sinatra? This man is synonymous with Love Songs. His voice is a landmark of the 40s and 50s that resonates to this day. The romanticism of his interpretations makes me travel to a time I've never been to and think: Where do we human beings go wrong? Where did all this romanticism and emotions go? Did all of this really die back then? I don't know. But this is the sensation conveyed by Sinatra's voice: A journey through time where the world was completely different from the one we live in.

Buffalo Springfield Again by Buffalo Springfield
Jun 16 2024

Okay, that's my kind of music. It's impressive how many good albums came out in 1967. It's a year that never ceases to surprise me. I had Buffalo Springfield on my list for a long time and this was a pleasant surprise.

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jun 17 2024

Iggy Pop sounds like a dangerous and sexy version of David Bowie. It seems like everything he sings is really cool. He could be singing about farts. I don't care. He's so cool! I honestly don't know much about his work. I know some songs but I've had some of their albums on my list for some time. It was a pleasant surprise.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 18 2024

If you are going to make a list of at least 15 albums that "you must hear before you die", or "you would take to a desert island", this album has to be on this list. I believe that if an alien from Mars starts studying the history of the human race, at some point he will have to go through What's Going On to understand some things. The song that gives the album its name is also among the best compositions of all time. This isn't even my opinion, it's facts! And the rating cannot be anything other than 5 stars.

Bitches Brew by Miles Davis
Jun 19 2024

Definitely a unique experience. It is not easy to consume this type of material. Especially when there are no lyrics in an album that are almost 2 hours long (I almost didn't have time to listen to it today, for example). But despite it not being an album for casual listening and not really being my type of music, it is very well conceived and produced for an album from the beginning of the 1970s. I'll leave it with 3 stars.

Jun 20 2024

Lennon is probably the reason I'm here today. I probably wouldn't even enjoy music if in the past I hadn't come into contact with his voice and his unique way of writing songs about his feelings in a way that no one else can. Since the Beatles, he has already explored the personal side he imprinted on his songs, but especially in his solo career, like on this album, it is very clear how personal these songs are, which gives the feeling of being extremely real and establishing a direct connection between Lennon and the listener. So it's not uncommon to hear stories from people who claim that "Lennon spoke to me." Lennon put heart and soul into his songs like no one else... Besides, of course, a certain Paul, but that's a story for another day.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 21 2024

This is without a doubt one of the best discoveries I made this year. A true Soul masterpiece. I just keep asking myself (I did my homework) why an album with the importance almost as great as Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" had never reached my ears, not even through the film that bears the same name . Music never ceases to amaze me!

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jun 22 2024

To my delight, this is the second time this week that I have received an Iggy Pop's album. From the same year! It still sounds dangerous and sexy, but the difference between this album and "The Idiot" is that here now we have excellent compositions from the beginning to the end of the album, including songs like "Lust For Life", "Success", "Neighborhood Threat" and the classic "The Passenger" which I knew from the voice of Siouxsie Sioux. I was very happy to discover that the relationship between Iggy and Bowie wasn't just a figment of my imagination. Bowie in fact produced the album and composed some of the songs. It is possible to notice in the album, some elements of what would become Post Punk and Goth Rock in the future. Even New Wave is possible to notice in the album's sound. My rule is clear: Every album that catches my attention the first time gets 5 stars!

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 23 2024

I honestly don't have much to say about the technical aspect of this album's sound. This is very similar to several other records contemporaneous with this one. It comes from England, it sounds alternative, beautiful melodies, heavy sound... Nothing that I haven't heard in the Brit-pop scene of the 90s. But what caught my attention in a curious way, is that throughout the album I I can feel the sensation of coming home, from somewhere far away. And whether you know it or not, the last song on the album is precisely about that. Like I said, I can't say if it was intentional. But if it is, it's an impressive detail.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jun 24 2024

Listening to an album by the guy who sings "You got a Friend in Me" was one of the most random things that could have happened today. His voice takes me back to peaceful childhood days, free from worries and responsibilities. I feel at home. This album has very interesting songs that deal with heavier and even sad themes. And the interesting thing is that the same voice that sings a song as happy as "Toy Story" can easily adapt to songs that bring other types of feelings.

The Score by Fugees
Jun 25 2024

This is probably the best rap album of all time. At least the best i've heard. The samples are perfect, the voices and the lyrics are perfect and the album got some deep vibe that really makes you trip and chill.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jun 26 2024

Excellent rap album. Very well recorded, produced and conceived. I had never heard of Missy Elliot, but I loved her voice.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Jun 27 2024

Beautiful and soft melodies. Her voice is as delicate as the touch of a silk sheet. All of this added to the beautiful harmonies that invite you to sit, rest your back and enjoy the winds of a Wednesday afternoon.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jun 28 2024

They say a divorce can destroy a man's life. Well, as far as I know it wasn't Marvin's ex-wife who shot him, on the contrary, he recorded an entire album about it. As always, everything Marvin touches turns to gold. Another 5-star and error-free album

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Jun 29 2024

Do you know what the best part of a 25-minute album is? You can listen to it over and over again hehe! And even more so when it comes to Buddy Holly and the golden age of Rock n roll. It's impossible to hear without moving your hips. That was a great start to Friday!!

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Jun 30 2024

It's fascinating that these guys make such strange experiences seem fun and captivating. It completely smells like the 60s!

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Jul 01 2024

I Should Coco was an album that was part of my adolescence, but I had never stopped to listen to the other Supergrass albums. I found it impressive that the band found so much musical maturity from one album to the next. The first album is still and always will be a classic, but I really liked this one too!

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 02 2024

Road rock from the 70s. Songs to drive at night. Guitar solos and lyrics about life. About being alive. That's definitely my kind of music. Springsteen is one of the artists living on my waiting list. But with the discovery of this album, from now on I'm going to rush to get to know the others in depth.

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Jul 03 2024

A good and well produced rap album. Practically instrumental, few lyrics, but with a great vibe. It was a pleasant surprise!

Jul 04 2024

The Smiths is one of my comfort bands and one of my favorites of all time. I know all the songs off the tip of my tongue. It's always a pleasure to listen to The Smiths. Strangeways is an album that I've learned to love a lot over the years and it's a shame that they stopped at that. For me, they were at their technical and artistic peak. But some bands are just like that: They pass through our existence like a comet, a true phenomenon that leaves its mark on anyone who comes into contact with this music. Morrissey, Mars, Joyce and Andy were the voice, heart, pulse and soul of an entire generation!

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jul 05 2024

Definitely not one of my favorite Radiohead albums. But it's always a pleasure to hear Thom Yorke's melancholy voice. I have a very serious problem with the post OK Computer albums released by Radiohead. Albums like this, Kid A, Amnesiac and others, never really appealed to me. But it definitely has its value.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 06 2024

That girl really had the soul of jazz. I don't like to compare albuns, but that one is way more spiritual than Back To Black. Has a different soul. It's more catchy. More engaging. I don't know how to explain it, but it sounds even sexier! Very pleasant surprise

American Idiot by Green Day
Jul 07 2024

Probably one of the best albums of the 2000s. I've heard a lot during my life about how a true Punk should behave. I heard a lot about how a real Punk should act, what kind of sound he should play, how to play and where to play. But for me, the true identity of Punk is just one: Not to fear! And Green Day is a band that never feared the kind of evil that said Punk shouldn't be pop or conceptual. Because Punk was never afraid of being pop. Punk was never afraid of anything!

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jul 08 2024

It's definitely not my type of music. But it certainly has its value!

Illmatic by Nas
Jul 09 2024

Another great rap album that i get from this page. This have been on my list for a long time and today, I finally heard this masterpiece. I honestly ain't got much to say. The Rap and Hip-Hop world it's kinda new to me. But I know how to recognize a hit when a I hear one. And definetely, this album got a lot of them!

The Healer by John Lee Hooker
Jul 10 2024

The Legend John Lee Hooker. No mistakes here. I always take a step back before I listen to an album full of collabs. I ain't got a good experience with that. But like i said: no mistakes here. C'mon, it's blues! It's JLH! But I'll take a especial note to the first song with Carlos Santana. I really didn't knew that I was in need to hear that! Awesome!

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jul 11 2024

I'm personally a big fan of that fuzz guitar sound that existed in the 90s. Some of my favorite bands have that kind of guitar sound. And honestly, it's very easy to win me over with just that. If it combines pop rock elements: even more so! So in short: I loved it!

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Jul 12 2024

It has a kind of 70s sound that I feel was lost in the following decade amidst so many synthesizers and metallic instruments. I'm not saying the 80s sound is bad, just different. But there are some cases where an artist manages to bring back some 1970s aspect to the contemporary sound in an excellent mix. Good examples of this are the albums that Fleetwood Mac released in the 80s: Mirage (1982) and Tango in The Night (1987). And today I just discovered another excellent example. And once again I ask myself: where was I all this time that I never heard of these guys? Prefab Sprout managed to bring to Steve McQueen the musical essence from two different decades, without hiding the fact that it was released in 1985, all bathed in a top quality pop sound. Besides, it's been a while since I've heard of an album with a name as badass as that, seriously, even I wanted to be called Steve McQueen! That's it: I loved it!

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jul 13 2024

Another great album from 1968! I'm very sure that magical things happened this year. The last years of the 60s are at odds with everything that exists when we talk about music, and here it couldn't be any different.

Tapestry by Carole King
Jul 15 2024

A true classic from the 70s. Some of these songs have been part of the soundtrack of my life for years. 5 stars!

Garbage by Garbage
Jul 16 2024

Bro, I love the 90s so much! I always end up discovering things like this. I really liked the dynamics between the songs that vary between different emotions from one to another. It has 2 real hits ("Stupid Girl" and "I'm Only Happy When It Rains"). In other words: This is definitely not garbage! Despite the name hahaha

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jul 17 2024

I've been having very bad experiences with the Jazz albums sent to me on this site. So much so that in my summary it says that the genre I like least is Jazz, but that's not true. I just wasn't lucky! Miles Davis is an artist whose name I've heard somewhere but I've never come into contact with his work and I have to say, this is an excellent example that a Jazz album can be fun and entertaining. I don't give it 5 stars because of my philosophy that music should convey a message, even if it's an instrumental album. One of two things: Either I don't know enough about Jazz to understand the message of this album, or there is no message at all. Either way, it's a great album!

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jul 18 2024

Another good album from the 2000s. I really liked the mix between the indie rock sound and elements of R&B. It's also very interesting that the album's sound seems to be at least a decade ahead of its time. Very good discovery!

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Jul 19 2024

I have the defect of prejudging an album based on its year of release. I know that there are several examples of good albums from 2010 onwards, but even so, I end up taking a step back. With that in mind and said, this is not a perfect example. I personally don't like those synthetic and almost robotic vocals that permeated the decade. But I recognize that, musically speaking, there is a very good mix between pop and contemporary R&B and hip-hop. All of this stuck together in a kind of Lo-fi vibes with lyrics. I really liked the instrumental part, but it's not something I'll choose to listen to on a Saturday night while enjoying a good whiskey. No! But it's an excellent background to spend the night with some friends, playing Minecraft!

Aja by Steely Dan
Jul 20 2024

I became a huge fan of Steely Dan this year a few months ago when the site sent me Pretzel Logic. I was instantly swept off my feet by the first lulls of Rikki Don't Lose That Number. So to sum it up well: I'm totally into them! It's my kind of music, no mistakes! It's the kind of 70's road rock band that I've been looking for for a long time. I thought I had already seen all the good ones, but now in 2024 I am blessed with Steely Dan. And this review of mine has nothing to do with the album itself. I just wanted to say thank you to this site! 5 Stars!

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jul 21 2024

I feel 15 years old again! Some of Aerosmith's songs are immortalized in my life and it was a pleasant surprise to re-listen to Toys in The Attic. Classics like Walk The Line and Sweet Emotion were part of the soundtrack of my adolescence and I still get goosebumps listening to them today. Easy 5 Stars!

Future Days by Can
Jul 22 2024

Initially I was very excited about the fact that it was the third day in a row that an album from the 70s came to me. This decade is actually my favorite. So I googled the album and discovered it was Experimental Rock. Not only that. It's one of the precursors of Krautrock, which I had never come into contact with before. I figured it would be good to start exploring the genre by drinking straight from the CAN. Jokes. But anyway. It was an excellent discovery. The album follows a psychedelic line, almost kissing progressive rock, but leaving experimentalism in evidence. I've had experiences with experimental albums before and I have to say, they weren't very good. But here it is not the case. Experimental sounds have to be strange and dissonant in themselves, but on this record, despite following this rule, everything sounds very cohesive! Nice surprise, I'll leave 4 stars.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jul 23 2024

The genius, Zappa! Previously, in the past, I tried to get in touch with Zappa's work. I heard, if I'm not mistaken, Joe Garage, I don't remember the year (guess it was realeased in 79). Anyway. It wasn't a good experience at the time. I was around 15 or 16 years old and as I gained musical maturity, getting to know new genres and sharpening my ears as a musician, I had in my mind that it was just a matter of time before I heard Zappa once again and then I would have a good experience. I was fucking right! It's truly different from anything I've ever heard, and at the same time it's everything I've ever heard before. I still need to process it properly because musicality like this cannot be processed in mind overnight. So I'll just leave 5 stars and walk away confused for a while...

Jul 24 2024

To be honest, when I read that it was a post-punk album from the mid 80s, I already imagined the kind of thing similar to "The Cure" or "Siouxsie and The Banshees" (bands I really love) but Maybe it was a very gothic ideal thought I have regarding Post-punk in general. So I tried to neutralize myself when listening to this album and to my surprise, I was VERY wrong! The album moves in a more Iggy Pop direction and even reminds me a little of American punk-rock bands like X (los angeleeees). There's even a bit of rockabilly in the mix, which made me very happy. Anyway, one more album that proves two things: 1. Post Punk is one of my favorite genres 2. I'm very easy to please! I don't even remember the last time I gave an album less than 4 stars! Aaaah may it continue like this!

Jul 25 2024

Yesterday I said that I didn't remember the last time I gave less than 4 stars to an album here on this site. Me and my big mouth! I don't really like Synth Pop, at least not as a form of entertainment in itself. It works more for me as a background for anything else I'm doing, especially in the early hours of the morning. So as not to seem like I'm voting solely in the name of my personal taste, I want to highlight that the synthesized vocals and all this plasticized production are not a positive point in the slightest. In fact, it can even be boring and tiring to listen to. But like I said, it works well as a background and I'll probably use these songs on my Minecraft nights!

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jul 26 2024

You know when a song hits you in a totally different way and you start to have familiar, comforting feelings? That's what happened today. I knew the name Robbie Williams, because I've been a huge fan of Oasis and the Gallagher brothers since I was a teenager, and apparently they didn't get along very well in the late 90s, trading public barbs and shit. And like the stupid fan I was, I wore an Oasis shirt as if it were a football team and I've never heard a single Robbie song to this day, at least as far as I know, and I'll explain why. There is a Brazilian forró band called "Nostalgia do Forró" that recorded a Portuguese version of Angels, which I listened to exhaustively when I was a child. So the moment Angels started playing, it was like coming home, to simpler days and away from problems. Other than that, all the prejudices I had regarding Robbie died today listening to this album. This is more than enough reason to give 5 stars!

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jul 27 2024

Glam Rock's ground zero. This is one of the albums that you can listen to over and over again without getting bored. Get it On is a must on every 70s classic playlist!

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Jul 28 2024

Another album that proves that the 1970s is my favorite. It's not a perfect album, nor an album that I'll listen to every day, but it's very comfortable to listen to and I could play it all day and I wouldn't get sick of it. I'll leave 4 stars!

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Jul 29 2024

This was probably ground zero for Goth Rock. One of the most disconcerting albums in rock history. But still a timeless classic!

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jul 30 2024

Easy 5 stars! I love everything that Bowie did in the 70s. Especially this one! I used to play Life On Mars on my earphones going to school years ago, definetely one of the songs of my life and idk, i spend years without listen this one and it seems a lot better than I used to remember. Actually the intire album is givin me this fellin now. I guess that musical maturity finally came to me hahahaha.

1999 by Prince
Jul 31 2024

Another artist leaving my waiting list today! Not to lie, I heard Purple Rain a few years ago and I remember being ecstatic and euphoric with this record. For this reason, I already knew that Prince was this eccentric, extravagant and powerful artist. So I went to listen to 1999 with great expectations and was honored with the satisfaction of all of them. This is probably the sexiest album I've ever heard in my life (it competes very well with Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On), it even gets pornographic at times. The sound quality is impeccable and, once again, Prince's vocals left me entranced and breathless. I'm not a person who likes to dance, but there's no way I can sit still and listen to this. The album suffers a little from the excessive length of the tracks. I think some of the 7 minute songs could be more compact. Apart from that, the album is perfect and was a pleasant surprise!

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Aug 01 2024

Today I'm going to do one of the most complicated album reviews I've ever had to do. The time has come to clearly separate what is good music and my personal taste. I never bothered to do this before because I'm not a music critic, just a music lover. Indian music is not one of my favorites. Obviously, as a big Beatles fan that I am, I am very familiar with the name Ravi Shankar and the sound of his sitar. The entire album felt like a hyper-extended version of Within You Without You. But the album fulfills its purpose perfectly. Just as the title of the first song announces, the entire album is like an initial experience for anyone who doesn't know Indian music, a true introductory performance. One fact I would like to highlight is that Ravi is really good at playing the sitar. Everything I knew about this instrument came from George Harrison's songs and it was an extraordinary experience to hear the sound of an expert! In the end, I ended up really liking the album, even though it's not something I'll listen to every day, I feel like this experience brought me something very positive! I will leave an honest 4 star review.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Aug 02 2024

Very good! Excellent rock album from 2000s. Still sounds fresh even after 20 years!

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Aug 03 2024

Great discovery! As I usually say: Punk fears nothing! Punk is not afraid of being pop, much less making songs without guitars or with almost no distortion. On the contrary, Punk is purely attitude! And this album has that. I would like to highlight the bassist's work on this album. It's been so long since I've been so excited about the sound of an instrument. Speaking of excitement, I must have listened to this album about 4 times in a row today. I really liked it a lot and it was definitely one of the best discoveries this year! 5 stars!

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Aug 04 2024

If I had to summarize what Stevie Wonder is in a single word, it would be "Joy", because that's what he brings us. Once again, the 70s. Just like Bowie, everything Stevie released at that time was a masterpiece. I wanted to highlight the song Bird Of Beauty where Stevie sings in Portuguese (Brazil Mentioned!). Anyway, it is truly an honor to live on the same planet as this genius! Every time Stevie appears, it will be 5 stars automatically!

Forever Changes by Love
Aug 05 2024

Another good discovery I made thanks to this site. And this time, this album comes straight from the most psychedelic year in music history. 1967: what a year!

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Aug 06 2024

Another good rap album from the 90s. Pleasant surprise!

Aug 07 2024

C O double M O to the N! 2 rap albums in a row, check it out! I loved the samples used in this album. It has a very pleasant vibe to listen to. I had a very wrong idea about rap and hip-hop albums from the 2000s, but this one is making me change that view a little. Nice surprise!

Nevermind by Nirvana
Aug 08 2024

Today we have a classic! There's not much to say about Nevermind that hasn't already been said by millions over the 33 years since it was released. I mean, this album is where it all started for me and a lot of people. I can't imagine being the person I am now without having listened to Nevermind when I was younger. But one thing is for sure: This album hasn't aged a single day! Still smells like teen spirit to this day.

Car Wheels On A Gravel Road by Lucinda Williams
Aug 09 2024

Road trip songs! Yeah! My type of music. Don't have much to say. I'll leave 4 stars.

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Aug 10 2024

There's something very special about this album and I can't say exactly what it is. Whether it's the extremely sentimental sound or the lyrics with deep themes... I don't know. But I really liked this one a lot. Fun Fact: I haven't seen Harry Potter in almost 10 years, and when I read that the closing track plays in one of the films I was like "Ah shit, I'm going to have to watch Harry Potter again" hahaha

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Aug 11 2024

Everyone who hasn't been living under a rock for the last 2 years has heard of Kate Bush because of the show Stranger Things. No wonder, Running Up That Hill is a great song and Kate Bush is one of the most original singers to have ever appeared. But I'm not sure if I was able to properly digest the work done on The Dreaming. The feeling I have is that something is missing. Maybe it's something I'll come across throughout her discography, but while The Dreaming isn't something I'll listen to every day, it definitely has its value. I'm going to leave 3 stars today, but maybe that rating will change over time.

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Aug 12 2024

BRAZIL MENTIONED!! I know that Stan Getz is not Brazilian. But he did everything for it. In addition to the legendary album recorded with João Gilberto (which displaced the Beatles' A Hard Day's Night from #1 in the charts, suck it) there is also this one with Charlie Byrd. And these two albums together helped to spread the music of my homeland throughout the world. What rating other than 5 stars could I give, right?

21 by Adele
Aug 13 2024

Adele's Prime! It seems like yesterday that the songs from this album exploded all over the world. But on the contrary, it has been more than a decade. I grew up listening to Adele's songs. It's part of the soundtrack of my life. I say again, just as I did in the 25 review, that this is the greatest singer of this century. Her songs will echo forever!

The Predator by Ice Cube
Aug 14 2024

This is the first Rap/Hip-Hop album I heard in my life, when I was 16 years old. I discovered "It Was a Good Day" while playing GTA: San Andreas in a video game many years ago, and that led me to want to know more about this world of Rap. For the record, Rap/Hip-Hop, Soul, Jazz and Funk were not part of my life until then. I have my roots coming from Rock n' Roll, Blues and music from my country, Brazil (Samba, Forró, Baião, Bossa Nova, Sertanejo). I remember exactly the feeling of listening to this album for the first time. The album starts with an intro that immediately gives away what the mood of the album will be and then it becomes one of the heaviest (if not the heaviest) songs I've ever heard in my life. "When Will They Shoot?" It doesn't owe anything to a Trash Metal song from the 80s when we talk about weight. To this day I consider this the best Rap album I've ever heard and Ice Cube is still my favorite Rapper, and that probably won't change anytime soon hahaha. So now, many years later, I see that The Predator is in fact one of the most influential albums on my musical taste, because thanks to the songs on this album and the samples, I discovered artists like The Isley Brothers, Wilson Pickett and later, several other Soul music artists from the 60s and 70s such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and many others. Not to mention that now, I have a completely open mind to Rap/Hip-Hop, knowing from this album, artists like Snoop Dog, Dre, 2Pac, Too $hort, NWA and many others. Damn, I had no idea how important this album was going to be in my life. Anyway, it was great to be able to remember this album today!!

Moving Pictures by Rush
Aug 15 2024

One of the easiest 5-star ratings I've ever given. Absolute classic! I don't have much to say. Tom Sawyer was one of the anthems of my adolescence, XYZ is one of my favorite instrumental songs and Limelight is beautiful! In fact, all 7 songs are absolute classics. Probably one of the best albums in history.

Aug 16 2024

It was very fun to listen to it! Another good hip-hop album coming from this site :)

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 17 2024

This is the second Kate Bush album that I have received from this site in a short period of time. In the review of The Dreaming I had said that I needed time to properly digest the songs on that album. Some time passed and things got better. Of course, the fact that today we have an album that starts with one of the best songs of the 80s (Running Up That Hill) helps a lot to get into the mood. Even though it sounds dissonant with reality, the depth she reaches with her voice and her lyrics are extremely real and genuine, apart from the fact that the album's sound is based on the best of the 80s. Today I'm going to give 4 stars, again, with the possibility of giving 5 next time ahaha!

Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Aug 18 2024

No Shit! Another Hip-Hop album? That must be the third time in the week! But that's ok cause this one is good too.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Aug 19 2024

now, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! I had already heard some things by Sly & The Family Stone separately on the Soul & Funk playlists I listen to, but I had never listened to an entire album before. It was something that had been on my list for a long time and it was a pleasant surprise to be able to experience this iconic musical group!

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 20 2024

What a way to start the week, huh? This is one of my favorite albums from the second half of the 70s (yes, I have to separate this decade into two to talk about my favorite albums without forgetting any). I'm not into celebrity culture, but if I was, I'd probably be a crazy Debbie Harry's groupie!

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Aug 21 2024

There are some great songs on this record, but I'm not sure they work well together as an album. Experiencing the album as a whole gives a disjointed feeling between the songs, even though the sound and content of the songs are very good. I will leave 3 stars today.

Kenya by Machito
Aug 22 2024

Very cool! I had never heard an Afro-Cuban Jazz album before, but I can imagine a lot of songs that I know that draw from the source of this album. It's basically Jazz with insane Latin percussions; I loved it!

Aug 23 2024

Okaaay. So we have classic today! This is the proof that it ain't need to fill an album with bunch of songs to be great. In here, we only got 5. 4 classics and 1 weird cousin (moon child it's coo coo). But the album is fantastic!

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Aug 24 2024

Pink Floyd is probably my favorite band. If it's not, it's one of them. And absolutely everything that appears from them here on this site (at least between 1970 and 1994) will receive automatic 5 stars. Anyway, there's nothing I can say without sounding like a crazy fanboy. So I'm going to shut my mouth and give silent thanks that today's album is Wish You Were Here!

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 25 2024

A 2000s classic!! Got some good memories with Seven Nation Army from the time I was learning how to play guitar. Good Album!

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Aug 26 2024

This was an interesting discovery. An album that really needs to be felt to be understood. Fun Fact: This album isn't on Spotify (at least not in my country) so I had to turn to YouTube and luckily I found it. There I had the opportunity to read the comments section and I wanted to highlight one of them here: "A very special album. I revisit this every few years - it is it's own universe."

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Aug 27 2024

S E X !!! This is probably my favorite Marvin Gaye's album. I think that never in the history of music has anyone managed to communicate and convey the sensations of... you know what, like Marvin did on this record. About the title track, a renowned Brazilian journalist once said: "...it presents such an engaging atmosphere that I have no doubt that 1/3 of children born since that year on the planet have been conceived to the sound of the song."

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Aug 28 2024

They sound like coitus interruptus! A premature ejaculation. Although they have a lot of potential good songs and some good ideas, they are completely wasted, because you can't just fill an album with a bunch of one and a half minute songs and think that's cool. Other than that, they actually sound cool at times, and for that reason alone I won't give them the slightest rating. 2 stars.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Aug 29 2024

So we had the King today! There are a lot of things that can be said about BB King, his songs and his legendary guitar licks, played by the equally legendary Lucille Guitar. But what I wanted to highlight about this album, is precisely the fact that it is live. The interaction with the audience and the stories he tells between songs (sometimes even during the song) give an impressive feeling of immersion, apart from the fact that this type of interaction between audience and artist no longer happens nowadays. BB King and the audience are almost talking to each other, as if they were at a Sunday barbecue sitting around a bar table. A very intimate atmosphere! Love it, 5 stars!

Aug 30 2024

Another Great Rap/Hip-Hop album from this site! I really liked the samples on this one!

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Aug 31 2024

So we got the Shankar's daughter today! She's a great singer and this is a really good album! 4 stars.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Sep 02 2024

Neil Young, a living legend! One of the biggest shames I have as a musician and music lover is never having explored this icon's discography in depth. Of course, the most famous albums from the 70s have been part of the soundtrack of my life for a long time, but here today is an album that I had never heard of before. And I really don't want to say anything about the record. Nana not today. I just want to sit my ass down in the chair and listen to this record over and over again and reflect on where I was and what I was doing all these years for me to have never heard this masterpiece before. So if you'll excuse me... (5 stars, of course)

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Sep 03 2024

This is probably the most difficult album to review in just one paragraph. There is so much, so much details that can be said about these songs, that it would be enough to write a book. Pet Sound is huge! Absolutely everything about this album is simply huge! It captures the entire essence of the deepest human feelings, from genuine joy (Wouldn't It Be Nice) to deep sadness (Caroline, No), passing through and addressing themes such as loneliness and emptiness (That's Not Me, I Just Wasn't Made For This Times) and even the greatest of feelings of love, represented by one of the most perfect songs that human beings have ever made: God Only Knows! Like I said, a book would easily be written if I were to say everything I think about this album. Long Live to the Genius Brian Wilson!

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Sep 04 2024

Kraftwerk had been on my list for a long time so I was very happy to know that today would be the day to try one of their albums. I know they must have sounded very innovative at the time with that sound, but I don't think this record has aged so well. My main criticism of this album is that it doesn't grab you. You can test things, bring innovative sounds, recording techniques never seen before, but it's no use if you can't connect with those who listen. I didn't research it but I believe this is a work from the very beginning of Kraftwerk's career and although I criticize it, I give full credit to the band for these innovative experimentalisms and I hope to see more of this on the next albums but of course, I hope it is more attractive. I'll leave 3 stars.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Sep 05 2024

I'm not going to lie, this one was pretty boring. It has its moments but overall it's pretty boring.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Sep 06 2024

I had never heard Cheap Trick before (although the name was familiar) and mind you, that's why the 70s is my favorite, because albums like that come out every day and even though I don't know these songs, I had so much fun listening to them, which makes me very suspicious to speak and give notes, as they will almost always be good reviews and high star marks. But what to do, right? Rock n' Roll can't go wrong! The only song I actually knew was the beautiful cover of Ain't That a Shame, which I had already heard by John Lennon's voice (and which until today I didn't know it was a Fats Domino's song). At the beginning of 'Surrender' (which is apparently their most popular song) he says "this song is the opening song to our latest album which was released this week" I felt like I was in a time machine, like I was actually there 46 years ago. By the way, great choice of place to do a show. The Japanese women are hysterical and scream at the top of their lungs the entire show! hahaha

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Sep 07 2024

I listen to many albums every day throughout the years and what most of these albums have in common is that almost all of them are from a time that I didn't live through. But there was a specific period in my life, when I was in high school, when everything seemed more intense and albums like I Should Coco were part of my experience of what it was like to live at that time. I really lived intensely the things and people of my time and albums like this, Stone Roses, some by Oasis, Primal Scream are albums that connect me directly with that era every time I listen to them. I can smell the hormones, the cheap drinks, the crazy parties... Yes, there is a feeling of nostalgia, but I'm glad that this time has passed, and when I want to remember those good times, I Should Coco and Supergrass will be there. always available!

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Sep 08 2024

Very good rock album! I would like to highlight the great mix of classic rock n' roll with House Music and the good songs: Take Your Mama, Tits On The Radio, Filthy/Gorgeous and the interesting cover of Comfortably Numb.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 09 2024

I'm coming back from a night of drinking, I'm completely hungover. There was no better time to listen to a Willie Nelson album! I mean, I feel like I'm in heaven, shit, I threw up during September Song, it was just beautiful!

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Sep 10 2024

That's a hell of a way to start a Monday!! The lendary Rock n' Roll Star: Jerry Lee Lewis! Hell Yeah! That's my type of music, no mistakes here. 5 stars!

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
Sep 11 2024

Nice album! Always good to hear Alex Turner's voice. There's some real good song in it!

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Sep 12 2024

Great rap album! Cypress Hill is one of the classics of the early 90s! I grew up listening to How I Could Just Killed Man, as it was played on GTA SA radio stations hahaha so yes, this is all very familiar to me. I'll leave 4 stars.

Sep 13 2024

Everyone who hasn't been under a rock for the last 26 years has heard The Rockefeller Skank. The album is cool, but it's not my type of music. I'll leave 3 stars!

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Sep 14 2024

Yeah! That's my kind of music! I really liked his voice. I'll leave 4 stars.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Sep 15 2024

I love it when this site sends me an album that I have in my collection, because it encourages me to dust off all of them hahaha. Anyway, Beatles, right? 5 Automatic Stars activated! You can go away, there's no review, it's Beatles! You don't need one. Just kidding. This is probably the best early Beatles album and probably one of the best film soundtrack albums of all time. It was the album that opened the doors of the world wide open and said "We are the best band on the planet!". I wanted to highlight the title track for one simple reason: how many songs do you know that can be easily recognized by the first chord at the beginning? It's as if the music stole that chord for itself, so much so that if you play it (if you're a musician) in any other context in your life, you'll immediately remember A Hard Day's Night! Fun fact: I watched Paul Mcartney in December 2023 here in Brazil, and he opened the show with Can't Buy Me Love and I was curious to notice how a song that I've heard since I was a child still gives me the same chills that I felt the first time. Seeing Paul sing that day was like watching my entire life flash before my eyes! Anyway, like I said, Automatic 5 stars!

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Sep 16 2024

I don't usually give 5 stars to an album I heard for the first time, but today it happened, once again, that immediate connection that music gives me from time to time (I've been very lucky, because here on this site, this has happened a few times ) and it reminds me of the principles of everything: why I started listening to the albums on this site, why I listen and make music every day and why I love music so much. I feel really lucky! I already knew Steve because of Higher Love, but after this album today, I will definitely get to know his work in more depth!

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Sep 17 2024

Heavy Metal's Ground Zero!! Today was the day to dust off another CD from my collection and listen to this masterpiece! I confess that I don't know how to listen to Black Sabbath in moderation because when I listen, I play 3 or 4 consecutive albums. That's what happened today. I started with the first one, then I dusted off the Paranoid CD, then I pulled out Master Of Reality... My speakers were burning out! It's not every day that I listen to Black Sabbath, but when I do, so my neighbors! hahaha Anyway, today was a great day, it was good to remember these wonderful albums!

Sep 18 2024

That was very, very boring! I understand the concept of an ambient sound album, but the atmosphere created in these tracks is as enthusiastic as a half-hour recording of just my farts.

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Sep 19 2024

BRAZIL MENTIONED!! Elis is arguably the greatest female singer in my country of all time! Hearing her voice is a blessing! This album has great songs and can be considered an excellent introduction to Elis's discography. I was very happy to have received this album today. Elis Regina is a pride of Brazil!

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Sep 20 2024

It had everything to be a good Post Punk album, but the vocalist gives me the impression that he is eternally falling down a staircase while singing! Although the instrumentals are very good, it was painful to listen to until the end. I'll leave 2 stars.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Sep 21 2024

A New Wave classic: The Pretenders debut! Some of the songs on this album are eternal classics like "Tattooed Love Boys" and "Brass in Pocket". Although the album has some low moments, it's still a great debut album and one of the most important New Wave albums of the 80s. I'll give it 4 stars!

Sep 22 2024

By far much better than the album I previously heard from Brian Eno, because its actually music ya know hahahaha. No jokes, Music for Airports was a disaster, but this one was cool. It still hasn't won me over sonically speaking. But there are some very good songs here. I'll leave 3 stars!

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Sep 23 2024

This album has some very good songs, however I feel that some of them were wasted thanks to the bad guitar work on some of them. The singer's voice is very similar to Iggy Pop's (it's probably him, right? I haven't looked at the wiki) and the lyrics are good. Although it is overall a good album, it didn't impress me much. I'll leave 3 stars!

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Sep 24 2024

Since this site sent me Pretzel Logic a few months ago, I have become a huge fan of Steely Dan and his records have become part of my listening routine. And of course, their debut album is also part of this description. It has some really good songs, some really wonderful ones and also one of the best songs of the 70s: Reelin' In The Years which, after just a few plays, has already entered my select playlist of my favorite type of music: Road Trip Songs! Not just any song I put on this playlist. It took about 10 years to put together 50 songs and this year alone, Steely Dan released two including Rikki Don't loose that Number which was also one that won me over immediately! Anyway, I don't have much else to say about this album. I just have to thank this site for introducing me to this wonderful band! Another very easy 5 stars!

Odelay by Beck
Sep 25 2024

I really don't know what to feel about this one. There diferent rythms and sounds like some kind of collage idk... I really can't say if it's good or bad, but I really didn't feel it right. I'll leave 2 stars.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Sep 27 2024

Definitely one of the best naps of my life!

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Sep 28 2024

A certain Brazilian musician once said that in music "You have to be gentle as a lamb and quick as a rattlesnake". I couldn't find a better phrase to define the perfect mix between subtlety and lightness that exudes from this album. All the instruments are very well intertwined, as if they were tied with a sailor's rope. Everything is very subtle and fast, which makes me believe that this is one of the most sonically sophisticated albums I've ever heard from the 60s. Although the instrumentals are perfect, that's all! I have a rule that makes me never give an instrumental album full 5 stars, as I believe that vocals are a vital part of the connection between the artist and the listener. Be it the simplest vocals to the most orgasmic screams in the style of Pink Floyd's The Great Gig In the Sky, vocals are essential on any album, even if it has instrumental tracks. However, I'm going to leave this stupid rule of mine aside for a day, because everything I said will fall apart in front of this album. 5 Stars!

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Sep 29 2024

Today we have a progressive classic! This album has been on my list for about 8 or 9 years when I was discovering Progressive Rock. However, I don't remember exactly why, I was exhausted by this type of music and ended up forgetting to listen to some of the albums that were on that list. But the day finally arrived and it is with regret that I say that it didn't impress me as I thought it would. The sound is fantastic, but tiring at some points. The sound is really ahead of its time, but I don't think it has aged very well. Although the album focuses on the sound of instruments, at some points the lack of vocals is really felt. Despite the flaws, the sound synergy is fantastic. I'm going to leave 4 stars today.

Traffic by Traffic
Sep 30 2024

My kind of music! Good rock album to do a road trip. I didn't know that Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi came out of this band. No wonder that's so good! I knew Steve from his solo song Higher Love (on the soundtrack of GTA V) and Jim from a cover of a Brazilian song called "Anna Julia" (very popular here) with the participation of George Harrisson. It was a good surprise and i'll leave 5 stars.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Oct 01 2024

I heard someone say once that Lady Soul is Aretha Franklin in her prime... and I was like, and when the hell wasn't she in her prime? Easy 5 stars for the greatest singer of all time!

Oct 02 2024

It is possible to see several elements of what would become Linkin Park in the 2000s on this album, no wonder Korn is one of the giants of Nu Metal. It's not my type of music but it's not bad.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Oct 03 2024

Excellent! I loved the guitar work on this record. It's a great debut album and very pleasurable to listen to.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Oct 04 2024

This is a great jazz album

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
Oct 05 2024

First of all: Stevie is an automatic 5 stars! Innervisions is one of Stevie's albums that I've heard the least from this golden period between 68-85 but it's still a masterpiece (and one that I'll listen to more frequently from now on). I really like the psychedelic vibe of some of the tracks, which gives the album a unique sound, but without losing the funky & soul style characteristic of Stevie's albums. The difference between Innervisions and the other albums from this period released by Stevie in the first half of the 70s is that here we have an obvious high point between the songs and it is called Higher Ground. This song completely differs from the others as it is a tremendous Funk & Soul hit. One moment you're listening to the fresh breeze of Innervisions' tracks and suddenly you take a break to riff on Higher Ground and then return to normal programming. As much as it may seem like it was randomly placed in the middle of the album, the song doesn't interfere at all (quite the opposite) with the vibe of the album, much less its maximum rating of 5 stars.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Oct 06 2024

I'll tell you what: all hip hop albuns should sound like that!

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
Oct 07 2024

It's not an easy-listen album. At first it seems like a set of good ideas lazily wasted, but little by little, as the songs progress, the sound takes you on a really cool journey. The big problem is that at some points it is very tiring, which cancels out any kind of replay factor that the album may have. I'll leave 3 stars!

Oct 09 2024

Until 2021, I had never heard of Simple Minds until one fine day a taxi driver wearing fluorescent glasses and a button-down shirt half-open revealing a hairy chest passed by the street where I work, driving his taxi slowly playing Don't You Forget About Me at the last volume that car stereo could emit. Since then, this song and those from the album Once Upon a Time have been a must-have in my daily playlists. However, I had never heard another album besides this one and it was a pleasant surprise to discover that even 3 years before the band's Big Hit Album, they already sounded in this spectacular way, a very characteristic 80s sound, but of course, without all those big hits with the exception of the first track. Anyway, I loved it! I'll leave 4 stars!

Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada
Oct 10 2024

I really don't like this kind of music. Although it has its value, it doesn't really tell me anything.

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Oct 11 2024

Nice country album. Highway songs, my kind of music. Love it!

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Oct 12 2024

Rolling Stones between 1968 and 81 is an automatic 5 stars! Rock n' roll has always been about breaking the rules. In 68, while the Rock world was immersed in psychedelia, The Stones released an album filled with country songs and acoustic guitars. All this, of course, without leaving aside the good old Rock n' Roll that they still carry to this day, featured in tracks like Street Fighting Man and the iconic Sympathy for the Devil! Charlie Watts is a God!

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Oct 13 2024

It's not my type of music. For many years I had a very negative image of Justin Timberlake because for me he represents the epitome of this disgusting celebrity culture that exists today (from the 2000s to now). But I'd be lying if I said this album was bad. I'd be lying if I said that at certain moments I wasn't grooving to the songs. At certain moments, Justin's voice (which for me is the highest point of the album's sound) tries to imitate the vocal mannerisms of the late Michael Jackson, of course, with due proportions, this is just a mere influence, and not a copy. But even with these qualities, the album sounds very tiring. The experience I had with this album was as if I had gone running in the street. 1 hour later I'm tired of it and now I want to take a nap.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Oct 15 2024

Bowie's last dance I was almost 15 when Bowie died. At that time the only thing I knew about him was the Aladin Sane cover (as recognizable as a plate of rice and beans) and I definitely wasn't ready for this album at the time. But I remember seeing the Lazarus video and thinking "This is Bowie dying" Today, 8 years later, having explored the entire discography and having Bowie as one of my main artistic influences, I can feel what Blackstar is. I can see that this was a beautiful ending worthy of a legend!

I See You by The xx
Oct 16 2024

Okay. That was boring.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Oct 17 2024

Splendid! It is the second Leonard Cohen album that I have listened to through this site. Both from different eras (1967 and 2016) and it is clear that even though there are so many years of difference from one to the other, this introspective vibe that is brought out in the sound and especially in his voice, has not dissipated, quite the opposite. Speaking of his voice, in this 2016 album, it is much darker (as the name of the album suggests) a style that apparently was adopted by Leonard throughout his career and that manages to convey unique emotions to the lyrics of the songs in such a way which makes me think that no one else could be singing these songs but himself. I will repeat, splendid!

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 18 2024

The legend Bob Marley! Here's an artist who has been on my list for a long time. Not that Bob wasn't very familiar to me. Because anyone who never heard Three Little Birds or One Love in the last 5 decades was certainly living in the catacombs where Judas lost his boots. The album contrasts with the mainstream super productions of the time. While hard rock bands were exploring the weight of the most distorted guitars, progressive bands were extracting as much revolutionary sound effects from another world as the studios and technologies of the time could put into their songs, Bob Marley and The Wailers arrived bringing a completely different vibe, with its relaxed grooves, and lyrics that, despite being politicized, also spoke of peace and in fact brought peace to those who listened and listen to this day. Bob Marley is one of those pop culture icons that is hard to believe actually lived on the same planet as us and joins other names like John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and others, in a group of legends that change the history of music and the world.

My Generation by The Who
Oct 19 2024

The Who is one of my favorite bands ever. I've been listening to this for years. And before I start writing too much (which I tend to do a lot) I'm just going to highlight the only thing that should be said about this album and the emergence of The Who in the mid-60s. Who came with the British invasion. They played the same pop rock as other bands at the time. The lyrics of the songs talked about the same things as the songs of the time. But then I ask myself: what makes The Who a special band? What makes them stand out from the rest? Simple! There's a crazy lunatic behind the drums! Keith Moon doesn't play a single song like a normal drummer. A level of madness builds up and reaches its peak in the last track "The Ox" and all of this makes the album nothing more than a great introduction to the craziest and most talented drummer who ever lived. When I hear comparisons with John Bonham, I usually make a modern analogy in relation to football. Keith Moon is like Messi, and John Bonham is like CR7. Both genius, great and talented, but their talents come from different places.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 20 2024

Nothing convinces me that Mark's guitar wasn't a member and leader of this band. This bad little girl did the solos, provided the rhythm and even shared the vocals with Mark. The licks on Down On The Waterline are a perfect foreshadowing of what will come later on in the album. A sequence of spectacular jams that leads to the masterpiece Sultans Of Swing, which is very similar to classical music in the way it induces the listener to pay attention to the smallest details of the song. Especially this bad little girl who made her name in the history of rock n roll in the two solos of this song. Anyway, a hell of a debut album!

Oct 21 2024

Sheer Heart Attack is one of the Queen albums I've listened to the least and I don't know exactly why. I believe it was due to the lack of big hits like the subsequent albums, my teenage head didn't have the patience for the band's first 3 albums. Today I realize that it was a huge mistake. I was recently revisiting Queen's discography, which I hadn't listened to in a while. I felt I needed to do this because Queen was the first Rock band I ever heard when I was 10 years old, so I felt I needed this moment of nostalgia with myself. In fact, Sheer Heart Attack is the best of the first 3 albums. It counts Killer Queen and Brighton Rock as its main hits and I think the main characteristic that can be noted here is precisely the factor that makes Queen a different band from the others: Freddie Mercury, obviously. Without Freddie, Queen is an excellent hard rock band. With Freddie, Queen is one of the biggest and most spectacular bands of all time. That said, the main sound characteristic of this album is precisely this contrast between the heavy sound of an excellent Hard rock band, with the fierce and imposing subtlety of Freddie Mercury's voice. Anyway, Queen between 1974 and 1986 (with the exception of Flash Gordon and Hot Space) have my automatic 5 stars!

Oct 22 2024

What a great way to start a Monday! It's not the first time that Aretha Franklin has appeared here. First Chains Of Fools and now Never Loved a Man. There is nothing more that can be said on this subject. She's the best of soul, she's the greatest singer of all time! The only comment that I will, in fact, repeat, will be the old saying that says that Aretha between the second half of the 60s and the first half of the 70s was at her peak... and my comment about that is the following: When hell wasn't she at her peak?

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Oct 23 2024

This kind of music just doesn't make sense to me. I mean, it's kinda cool sometimes but it looks like some background music of some car parts shop.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Oct 24 2024

A very interesting experience. It really surprises me that an experimental and progressive album like this was released in the 90s with such a 1970s atmosphere! Very good!

Oct 25 2024

A classic from the 2000s! I discovered this album a couple of months ago thanks to a recommendation from a friend and I loved it.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Oct 26 2024

Some say that this is the best live album in the history of Rock n' Roll. I can't say anything. I'm not an expert on this. But I know one thing. Few things in this world can be as exciting as the original lineup of The Who live. I heard someone say once that the members of The Who are all solo. Keith Moon is a solo drummer. John was a solo bassist. Roger was the singer. And Pete was a damn guitarist. Keith beat the drums at the speed of a Formula 1 car and with the strength of a steam locomotive. John beautifully walks his bass lines through the harmony of the song in the most free way possible. Roger sings the verses with the delicate voice of an angel and the ferocity of a lion. and Pete designs spectacular solos and riffs underneath it all! Everyone was doing their part, in very different ways, but everyone was working for the common good of music. They made Rock concerts sound like real spectacles! And there were only 4 guys...

Vulnicura by Björk
Oct 28 2024

Silence in the studio! Björk is doing Music N°2 It looks like an 1 hour long Revolution 9 with lyrics but it ain't bad. It's good in a strange way.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 29 2024

A grunge classic! I hadn't listened to this album in years. I'm happy to see that it's an album that has aged very well. Them Bones is one of the songs I listened to most when I was a teenager.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Oct 30 2024

A very weak Hip-Hop album. Waste of good musical ideas, stupid superficial lyrics and ridiculous use of autotune. The sequence of tracks matched absolutely everything I hate in music.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Oct 31 2024

They sound like The Doors if they were a Punk Rock band and had a bassist! Really nice album. They sound very clean and the songs are fun to listen

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Nov 01 2024

I have a report to make. I woke up a little sick this morning, but I still decided to play today's album. The album finished a few seconds ago and now I feel much better. I don't know if this has anything to do with the songs, but one thing is a fact: Bruce Springsteen's songs have a very special way of touching the heart. I had little contact with Bruce's work (everything I heard from him was thanks to this site) and even then they were albums from the 70s. Listening now to an album from 2002, I can see that his voice and melodies have aged like wine. My type of music: 5 stars (out of curiosity, today I discovered the term Heartland Rock. Apparently the type of music I like most, it had that name all the time hahaha)

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 03 2024

ANGER - THE ALBUM I hadn't listened this album in years. Killing In The Name Of was one of the songs I listened to most when I was a teenager. Time when I woke up in the morning, drank my coffee and went to fight the system (skip class)

Nov 04 2024

Love Rod Stewart!! Any album that fits with a road trip is an automatic 5 stars to me.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 05 2024

In 2018, a friend of mine recommended this album to listen to, but I ended up not paying much attention to it at the time and ended up putting the album on my eternal waiting list until today. As soon as I finish writing this review, I'm going to give him a huge scolding: "WHY DIDN'T YOU INSIST MORE ON ME TO LISTEN TO THIS ALBUM?" Musically speaking, it is a top quality alternative rock album! It's energetic when it needs to be energetic, it's soft when it needs to be soft, everything, absolutely everything on this album is precisely in the right proportion, including the voices, instruments, volumes, production, everything! Without any fear, I give it a 5 star rating!

Sister by Sonic Youth
Nov 06 2024

Very good album I really liked the psychedelic aspects of this album’s sound. It's great to hear something like this outside of the 60s. 4 Stars!

Protection by Massive Attack
Nov 07 2024

A very creative album. I liked the experimental sounds used in the songs without making the whole thing look weird. 3 stars

The Doors by The Doors
Nov 08 2024

It's always a good day to listen to The Doors!! The first time I listened to this album, it was celebrating 50 years since its original release. And this is an album that I can perfectly imagine myself listening to when it turns 100.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Nov 09 2024

How badass do you have to be to perform in prison, intimidate and gain the admiration of inmates? Simple answer: You have to be Johnny Cash!

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Nov 10 2024

How had I never heard of these guys before? They sound like a mix of Rolling Stones and CCR. 70s, right? There's no error. That's my kind of music. Every time I think I've heard everything about this decade, I'm always surprised! 5 stars of course.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 11 2024

Amazing is the word that describes this album. Amazing voice, amazing sound... I'm sorry but today I'm speechless...

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Nov 12 2024

Excellent Album!! Hearing the sound quality of a 90s album playing top quality rock n' roll is a true delight! The songs are energetic, vibrant and alive! I Love It! 5 Stars

Third by Soft Machine
Nov 13 2024

As Dwayne Johnsson once said: "It's the biggest piece of dog shit that I've ever heard" The album is tiring and boring. No matter how technical and innovative the sound may be, if it doesn't create connections with the listener, none of it makes sense. I'm gonna leave 2 stars today.

Nov 14 2024

This must be the third Beatles album to appear here and as I said before: Anything by the Beatles is automatically a 5-star rating! After all, the Beatles were my first love. It was how I learned to listen to and love music. However, this album has a special place in my heart. It was one of the first albums I listened to from start to finish in my life, at a time when I had just discovered that the best way to consume music is through albums. If I search my memory, I can tell a different story involving each of the songs on this album. Leaving aside the emotional memory for a moment, there is nothing wrong with this album. Although everyone knows that this is a masterpiece conceived by Paul, who brought the entire concept and aesthetics of the album, some of the best compositions of his career and the most revolutionary bass lines in history, we cannot forget the fundamental roles of John Lennon, who also brought some of his best compositions and, in my opinion, the best vocal performances of his career. George brought the impeccable Indian psychedelic sound to Within Without You and Ringo Starr, often labeled as the least talented Beatle, showed in his performances on this album why he is one of the most revolutionary drummers of all time. Ringo is like the beating heart of this band and, on top of everything, he brought us the unforgettable performance of With A Little Help From My Friends. I repeated the word "revolutionary" a few times while writing this review and for good reason. Revolutionary is the correct word to describe this album. I don't think I said anything in this review that hasn't already been said by millions of people over almost 60 years. But I make a promise here: I am currently 23 years old and as long as I live, I will spread the Beatles' music and pass it on to future generations. I will introduce the Beatles to my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even my great-grandchildren's children if possible, until my last breath. And this will be the first album I will always recommend!

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Nov 15 2024

What a great album! I always thought I should give this album a little more attention and today I found out why. Bob Dylan is a great storyteller and this, combined with a simple sound and his unique way of singing like a solitary troubadour, makes Blood On The Tracks one of the most creative albums of his career. Personally, it is not among my favorites, for the simple fact that you can't choose 10 albums to be your favorite, you can only choose two or three hahahaha. Jokes aside, this is without a doubt a 5 star album!

Play by Moby
Nov 16 2024

That was a really good experience. I usualy don't like eletronic music but this one was fine!

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 18 2024

It has a slight touch of Radiohead (well, at least the singer's voice sounds like Thom York). It sounds very good at some points, at others it is very dragging and tiring. However, the whole album has a very touching atmosphere. Not bad! I will leave 3 stars today.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Nov 19 2024

What a great way to start a Monday! Today we have here the masterpiece of one of the most influential bands of the early 60s. I personally have a special connection with the song Green Onions, despite it having been released decades before I was born, because the song is present in the soundtrack of GTA San Andreas (the video game I have played the most in my life). For this reason, there is a very strong feeling of nostalgia going on right now hahahaha. The idea of ​​the album is simple and fun and the sound is spectacular. The sound of this album seems to have been released at least a decade ahead of its time. It's as if it were an album from 1972, released in 1962 hahaha. I don't give 5 stars to instrumental works. As I have said in other reviews I have done for this site, the vocals are fundamental pieces that establish a stronger connection between the artist and the listener and this is the only flaw of this album. The only one. So the rating is 4.999999/5 stars which is very painful because my nostalgic side wanted to give it 5 ;-;

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Nov 20 2024

Very boring! Her wonderful voice doesn't support this succession of bad songs. Some are even cool and save the album from total uselessness. I'll leave two stars today

Low-Life by New Order
Nov 21 2024

Another artist on my waiting list. Coming from the ashes of Joy Division, I had long been curious to know what the remaining members of that legendary band became. And I tell you: another really cool band! This album has some low points but is very comfortable to listen to. I loved! I'm going to leave 4 stars today!

Moon Safari by Air
Nov 22 2024

Very interesting experience. It's not something I'll listen to every day but I like the experimental vibe of this album. I don't understand French, but they sound great. I will leave 3 stars today.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Nov 23 2024

Let me share some stories; In 2017, when the album turned 37, I placed my CD copy on the floor around some candles and flowers, as if in a kind of African religious ritual, and then I listened to the album 37 times in a row; that same year, Back In Black and other AC/DC songs were some of the main reasons I became interested in learning to play the electric guitar; Back In Black was playing on the radio when I made love for the first time; Back In Black is the first album I listened to from start to finish. This was the album that taught me that we consume music through albums and to this day, at least in my opinion, the standard format for an album is: about 40 minutes, 10 tracks, about 4 minutes each track, beginning, middle and end, all thanks to my countless listenings of this album. Anyway, I could spend all day here telling you several other stories I have with this album. But then, instead of a review, I would be writing a 900-page book! Today I am certain that this is the most important album of my life, because if today I am a lover and compulsive consumer of music, if today I am here listening to the daily albums from 1001albunsgenerator, it is because almost a decade ago I was listening to this album for the first time. 5 stars of course!

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Nov 24 2024

This is legitimately an album you need to hear before you die. At first I was confused about the album, because the name and year refer to an album and the cover is from another album. I did some googling and discovered everything. It's a perfect post punk album that seems to mix the sounds of bands like Siousie and The Banshees, The Cure and The Smiths with light touches of pure originality! I loved!

Fun House by The Stooges
Nov 25 2024

I'm starting to believe that everything The Stooges have done is pure gold!

Be by Common
Nov 26 2024

If I remember correctly, this isn't the first time a Common album has appeared here... anyway, great rap album! I really like it when an album like this sounds like the 90s, even though it isn't. His voice is very comfortable to listen to. It was a great start to the morning listening to this! I will leave 4 stars today.

Green by R.E.M.
Nov 27 2024

It's time to dust off a CD on the shelf. Green and R.E.M are a great way to start a Tuesday! Green, when compared to other absolute classics, seems like a lesser work by the band, but on the contrary, Green is a great work by R.E.M that proves that simple but well done is wonderful!

Nov 28 2024

I love jazz and a good storyteller! The atmosphere is really cool. The big flaw of this album is the lack of immersion. There is a very specific chemistry between Tom and the audience that was captured for the album, but the only feeling it gives me is the desire to be there live and enjoy that moment. Under no circumstances would it make me go out of my house to buy this album, because it is not the same. Performances like Tom Waits' are intimate and have something very special, but only at the moment of the performance. It does not work well on a recording. In short: Great performance, terrible album. I will give it 3 stars because I like storytellers!

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Nov 29 2024

A classic from the 90s! It's really interesting how the sound of this album remains fresh to this day. It feels like it was released yesterday! There's not much to argue with. A classic 90s rock album, with really good songs... 5 stars!

The Next Day by David Bowie
Nov 30 2024

This is one of the few Bowie albums that I had never listened to before. But as I had already imagined, Bowie doesn't have bad albums! I always prejudged this album because of its similarity to the cover of Heroes, but I can see that (or maybe I'm crazy) The Next Day is a kind of sonic and spiritual continuation of Heroes... It may not have anything to do with it, but that's the feeling I got. Anyway, 5 stars.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Dec 01 2024

This was a really fun rap album! I loved the theme, the vocals and the rhythm... I'm giving it 4 stars!

Doolittle by Pixies
Dec 02 2024

Wow! I haven't listened to Pixies in ages. Doolittle is one of the albums that is part of the soundtrack of my adolescence. I have great memories of Here Comes Your Man among others... However, this album hasn't aged very well, in terms of sound. The songs are still very good but not good enough for a full 5-star rating. I'll give it 4 today!

Abraxas by Santana
Dec 03 2024

This is one of the sexiest albums I've ever heard! The swing and synergy of the percussions and Santana's iconic guitars make you freely wander imaginatively through the curves of this Black Magic Woman on the album cover!

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Dec 04 2024

If this album were a drink, its composition would be: A good Hip-Hop whiskey with a good amount of Rock Cola and Soul & Funk ice on top! Very interesting sound. It's not something I would listen to every day, but it was fun to listen to. I had never listened to Beastie Boys before today. I hope to hear better albums than this one in the future.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Dec 05 2024

Tim Buckley sounds like a mummified zombie version of Jim Morrison, who came back from the dead to sing in a really good Doors cover band! Some of his lyrics are silly and superficial. Others are really good, like Sweet Surrender. The main problem here is that there are some songs that are a little over 6 minutes long, and from the middle onwards they are just clumsy improvisations that end up ruining the song. The best songs on this album are precisely those that escape this parameter, like Nighthalkin', for example. That's because Tim's band is really good! The instrumentals are great. However, it's not exciting enough for me to give it a rating higher than 3 stars... This is the second album by Tim Buckley that I've received through this site. I'm curious to know what other picturesque things he's done on his albums in his short career...

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Dec 06 2024

Kraftwerk's sound sounds like the perfect stereotype of "modern music" or "music of the future" The first 3 tracks are basically composed of a unique and singular sound and the lyrics were basically repetitions of the name of the song, as if they were Pokémon shouting their own name. Then I was surprised by a song called "Das Model", which uses the same unique sound that had been presented until then, but this time with lyrics that talk about a woman. This ends up transforming the track into a great pop song! I was curious about the origins of Krautrock, so I opened the wiki and discovered that this name is nothing more than a media stereotype. Then, while listening to Neon Lights, I found myself reading an entire page of Wikipedia about the health benefits of German sauerkraut... Wonderful! In the title track that closes the album, we have the return of the Pokémon shouting its own name... but it's good too! Today I'm going to give it 4 stars! This is the second album by this band that I have listened to through this site and this one was much better than the previous one, Autobahn.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Dec 07 2024

I'm going to be on a road trip for the next 3 days and I'm more than grateful to have this iconic album recommended! The Smiths are one of my Comfy Bands and I probably listen to Queen is Dead about 20 times a year! I don't want to review it today. I just want to enjoy the view from the road and listen to this album over and over again on my car stereo.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Dec 08 2024

Second day on a road trip. Another good album to enjoy the view from the road! I won't be reviewing it today, just like yesterday, but I will express my curiosity about Frank Black. I had no idea he had a solo career (I'm not a regular Pixies listener) and his voice sounds great on this album.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Dec 09 2024

Third and last day on a road trip. No reviews today either. This album doesn't really fit the road trip landscape, but it's still really good. It has elements of hip-hop and R&B and her voice sounds really sexy! 4 stars today!

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Dec 10 2024

Following the example of the Frank Black album that I listened to the day before yesterday, I'm not a big White Stripes listener either and I had no idea that Jack White had a solo discography. Blunderbuss sounds very similar to the White Stripes style, of course this is due to Jack's iconic vocal lines and unmistakable guitars and his unique, carefree and relaxed way of playing the Blues. Very cool! It's not a perfect album but it's a very enjoyable listen! 4 stars!

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Dec 11 2024

Echo and The Bunnymen is a band that I criminally haven't paid enough attention to yet. Until today I only knew The Killing Moon and Porcupine has a wonderful sound! Today I'm going to leave 4 stars, because I need to digest the album better. But I hope to hear more of their albums in the future!

Connected by Stereo MC's
Dec 12 2024

Very interesting experience! It has a very nice groove to listen to! Although the percussion and beat make the 53 minutes of this album a bit tiring, it works very well as a sound background for some other activity... I'm giving it 3 stars today!

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Dec 13 2024

It's because of albums like this that I've been on 1001albunsgenerator for 227 consecutive days. Discovering gems like these on a Thursday night is priceless. The album has a very creative sound, built on funk grooves. 38 minutes very well spent! Great lyrics. The vocalist sounds like Ian Curtis had joined a disco band. I don't usually give 5 stars to a newly discovered album, but today, I'll make an exception.

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 14 2024

The songs have silly lyrics that talk about love and relationships, about dancing, about beautiful, young and sweet girls who are only 17 dancing, about kissing the geometry teacher and constant questions from someone who really wants to know if Fernando is listening to the drums... But all of this in an atmosphere that manages to be danceable, magical and cozy at the same time! I loved it! 5 stars!

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Dec 15 2024

I have a little problem with Zeppelin... After many years listening to their songs, i'm not able to listen to a single album anymore! So thanks 1001albunsgenerator! You made me do a Zeppathon today... 5 stars of course.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE
Dec 16 2024

The whole album sounds like they were testing out a bunch of potentially good songs, but instead of finishing the work, they decided to release the half-baked, incomplete versions of the songs on an album. 2 stars

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Dec 17 2024

Imagine that you are in 1967 and the guitarists you are used to listening to are Eric Clapton, George Harrison, BB King... You turn on the radio and suddenly the first thing you hear are the first notes of Purple Haze... That changes everything! There was Rock Music before Hendrix and after Hendrix. Even today, if a kid decides to learn to play the guitar, he will come across Hendrix at some point in his learning. That's how great this guy was for music... And this album is the pinnacle of his work. An album that perfectly summarizes and presents him as an artist. 5 stars, of course.

Dec 18 2024

The strong point of this album is definitely the lyrics. They address themes such as love and politics in a very unique way. Billy's very strong British accent adds a charming touch to the minimalist sound, based basically on an electric guitar with very 80s sound characteristics or a piano, with some other instrument just providing a little support from time to time. Although minimalist, the sound of the album never sounds empty at any point. The lyrics are very captivating and tell stories that you want to follow until the end. I want to highlight the song "Honey I'm a Big Boy Now". Not because I think it's the best on the album, but because I think it's the most different. It's based on voice and very characteristic piano. I can imagine it being played in some American saloon in the 1800s. Only without the British accent, of course. In fact, it's an album that deserves to be heard before you die. I'm giving it 4 stars today!

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Dec 19 2024

A very interesting experience. An album that exudes a very deep emotion in its sound and lyrics. I was in tears while listening to "Go or Go Ahead". Few things stop me from giving it 5 stars today. It's hard to find faults. I'll give it 4, but a 4.99999999...

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 20 2024

This was the album that introduced me to Goth Rock. The album that showed me that those weirdos with makeup and messy hair had feelings too. Spellbound is one of the hardest songs I've ever played on guitar... damn.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Dec 21 2024

Just like you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, you shouldn't judge an album by its release date. When I saw that it was a 2019 album I thought "fuck me, another boring album" but I was completely wrong. The sound has great soul influences wrapped in a progressive and impactful atmosphere that matches the deep and intense lyrics. The album sounds like Bill Withers had collaborated with Pink Floyd or something...

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Dec 22 2024

I can't remember the last time I heard a voice as clear and crystal clear as this one! It's so nice to listen to. The album is so good that it's almost impossible to find any flaws. I'm giving it 4 stars for personal taste reasons: it's not something I'll listen to every day. But as a music lover, it definitely matches the theme of the site and it's definitely an album to listen to before you die!

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Dec 23 2024

Too much noise and waste of good ideias. I just couldn't understand a single word of what they were saying. Potentially good songs were simply thrown in the trash. There is nothing to enjoy from this album... 1 star.

Low by David Bowie
Dec 24 2024

I used to listen to this album a lot when I was in high school. It had been years since I had listened to the Berlin Trilogy. Today was a great day for that. Bowie is an automatic 5 stars!

Crazysexycool by TLC
Dec 25 2024

Not my kind of music but yeah not bad...

Dec 26 2024

A Christmas album on Christmas day? How convenient, isn't it, 1001albumsgenerator??? It almost seems like it was written to be like that... Well, I loved the gift, although it's never a pleasure to read Phil Spector's name, but I recognize that his work is very relevant and, let's face it, what could be wrong with a collaborative album with names like The Ronettes and The Crystals? I had never heard of Darlene Love and Bob B. Boxx, but I liked them a lot too! Well, 5 stars and Merry Christmas to everyone who's reading this!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Dec 27 2024

A friend of mine once told me: "Man, you have to listen to this album! It's the most revolutionary jazz album ever!" I had already started doing the 1001albumsgenerator challenge when he told me this, so I replied: "relax, at some point the site will send me this album to listen to." And here we are, 250+ days later I'm listening to Kind Of Blue and now I want to beat my friend up for not insisting that I listen to this album sooner! There are no flaws in this album, that's all. It is truly a masterpiece of jazz, as everyone says. I'm going to give it 5 stars today without even thinking about it!

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Dec 28 2024

A nice pop album from the 60s. I liked her voice. Instruments well played. Very tasteful album, but nothing too impressive. I'll give 4 stars today.

Dec 29 2024

My first inclination was to give this a 1 star rating because, come on, what is a Lana album doing in this challenge? But I don't completely hate her work, I've listened to some of her albums before, but all of them, including this one, sound like everything Lana is saying sounds fake as hell. The ballads have some good melodies here and there, but overall the songs are slow and boring and don't fit in any everyday situation. Not even the most depressing and lonely times. Her voice makes me sleepy and the harmonies sound empty. Well, my initial inclination remains, 1 star.

Cross by Justice
Dec 30 2024

That kind of music just doesn't make any sense to me... 1 star

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Dec 31 2024

Yeah! Nice! I never had listen or heard about afrobeat before, but that was a pleasent surprise! Another good discovery from the 70s! 5 stars today!

Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
Jan 01 2025

That's one of the most boring things I've ever listen... hell of a way to end the year, huh?

Drunk by Thundercat
Jan 02 2025

First of all, this is high class music! But there's no denying that the production was a huge pain, like, 23 tracks? Seriously? Some of them are unnecessary and some good song ideas are criminally short and underused. I'm going to give it 3 stars today, but the sound of this album had the potential to be 5. Happy New Year to everyone reading this!

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 03 2025

A Simon & Garfunkel classic! I like this duo, but I'm not a big fan of this album. But I recognize that it's high class music! I'll give it 4 stars today!

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 04 2025

A Green Day's huge classic! Today was a day to dust off an old CD and bang to those hits in this album! Nothing more to say. Just 5 stars.

The Renaissance by Q-Tip
Jan 05 2025

Uh, I like this one! It has the chillin' vibe that I love on hip-rop/rap music... I'm gonna give it 4 stars today.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jan 06 2025

A Talking Heads classic! 5 stars. Nothing to say!

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 07 2025

My only problem with CCR is that when I have to listen to them, I have to listen to all 6 albums in a row. CCR is one of my comfy bands since I was a teenager. 5 stars of course!

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jan 08 2025

A very pleasant discovery! In my mind, if Michael Jackson were alive, he would be doing something like this. 4 stars.

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 09 2025

Oh my gosh, I haven't listened to this album in ages. I used to listen to a lot of Yes when I was in high school and those early 70's albums are masterpieces of progressive rock. It was really cool to reminisce about iconic songs like Yours Is No Disgrace and I've seen all good people. 5 stars of course!

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jan 10 2025

Did Willie Nelson released any bad albums???? Answer: no!

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Jan 11 2025

There's something about the 50s sound that really excites me. So simple, but so good! 5 stars of course!

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Jan 12 2025

It has the same vibe as Green Onions by Booker T and MG's. A Jazz and Blues album without lyrics, but very well executed and enjoyable to listen to. I'll give it 4 stars.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Jan 13 2025

God only knows how much I needed to listen to a Jingle Jangle this morning! The Byrds is one of the bands from the 60s that I have listened to least. Of course I knew the cover of Tambourine Man, but I had never stopped to listen to a whole album. Two interesting things: 1 - The first time I listened to Mr. Spaceman, it was in the voice of my fellow Brazilian, Raúl Seixas - Father of Brazilian Rock. His version is called "S.O.S" and came out on his second album "Gita" (1974) 2 - A version of Hey Joe older than Jimi Hendrix's. Interesting, but obviously Jimi's is superior. But this one is also very cool! I'm going to give it 5 stars today! Where have I been all this time that I hadn't listened to these guys before...

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Jan 14 2025

Lately, I feel like I'm listen to same hip-hop album over and over again... I'll leave 2 stars today.

Jan 15 2025

Very Good! A true rock n roll album from the 70s! I never heard about Spirit before, but they sound amazing! I'll leave 4 stars today!

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jan 16 2025

Iron Maiden smells like teen spirit. It smells like a virgin, pimply teenager. I hadn't listened to this album in many years. For some reason, Iron Maiden is one of the bands I stopped listening to when I became an adult, just like Metallica, Slayer and others... But without a doubt I have great affection for this album, as it was one of the albums that introduced me to Heavy Metal. Other than that, the album's sound has aged very well. Listening again after so many years, with more maturity and definitely with speakers much superior to those I had at 15 years old, I realize how fantastic these guys were, as in the sharp guitars, in Steve Harris's monumental bass, in the drums on point and perfect, and of course, Bruce Dickson's insane vocals, which give me goosebumps to this day. 5 stars, of course!

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Jan 17 2025

Today I listened to the most cute version of Iron Man ever! Jokes apart, that's a great album! Her voice is so soft and enjoyable to listen to. It's an album that I need to listen more times to proper digest. I'll give 4 stars today!

Jan 18 2025

This is probably the best debut by a Southern Rock band of all time. Are you kidding me? 3 of the 8 songs on this album are on every compilation of Rock n' Roll anthems! Especially Free Bird. This song still makes me play air guitar for 4 minutes straight, even though I know how to play a real guitar. What a great album! I've been listening to this album since I was a teenager and I'll definitely listen to it forever! 5 stars, obviously!

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Jan 19 2025

Just like The Byrds, whose Fifth Dimension was sent to me a few days ago, Mammas and The Papas is also a band that I criminally never listened to. Obviously, I already knew the legendary classic California Dreamin', but I had never listened to an entire album. I was surprised by the spectacular sound of the album, and especially by the harmonious vocals that border on perfection. I really liked the covers of Do you Wanna Dance and I Call your Name, which I already knew from the work of the Beatles and the Beach Boys. Just like Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut that the site sent me yesterday, this is also a great debut album! 5 stars!

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Jan 20 2025

It didn't impress me much, but it's not bad. 3 stars.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Jan 21 2025

Ho? Hey Ho! Ho? Hey ho! Yeaaah! So we have an absolute classic today, huh? After my first 10 years of beatlemanic, I was afraid of exploring the solo albuns by the former members. That fear was completly gone when I first listened to this album for the first time. All of the 9 songs are very enjoyable to listen to, and some of those are huge classics. I'll never forget the experience of listen to Let Me Roll It live when Paul came to Rio in December of 2023. Let Me Roll It was kept me wonder of how good it would be played live, and it was much more that I was expecting. Mindblowing! Best solo beatle album? I don't know. But certainly one of the three best, for sure!

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Jan 22 2025

I opened the review section before writing mine a little while ago, and boy, that was a big mistake! It's full of Elvis widows from Sun Records in that section. Others, however, consider From Elvis In Memphis to be a rebirth of Elvis, who after spending most of the 60s without presenting very creative things in his albums, releasing albums without originality, and films that were as repetitive and silly as their soundtracks, reemerged bringing the good old Elvis of always, but this time much more mature, and with much more country and even Motown influences. His voice is much more mature, and the production is impeccable. I read some idiots say that the album was overproduced. But in truth, that's how every Elvis album should sound! There are some excellent and very talented musicians playing on this album. Can you imagine what Elvis' work in the 50s would have sounded like if those songs had this quality of production? All this, added to the presence of the anthological song Suspicious Mind, one of the high points of Elvis' career! Anyway, I can't think of any other rating other than 5 stars!

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jan 23 2025

Now that's real country music! Her voice is angelic, and the arrangements and lyrics are fantastic. I listened to it 3 times in a row and I was left wanting more! Incredible and wonderful! 5 stars!

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Jan 24 2025

There's a famous saying that goes: "Never judge an album by its cover!" But we only say that to amazing albums with bad covers, right? I've never bothered to do the reverse. Not to judge a spectacular cover of a boring album. For me, the flaw in this album is the instrumental minimalism, which for some reason, didn't work properly to intensify and spread the message of some of the great lyrics on this album, which ended up being a complete waste in the end. I mean, the album is only 28 minutes long, and this guy still gives me a song like "Know", with just an acoustic guitar playing the same notes and only 4 lines of lyrics. That's sooo boring and tedious! It kills 2 and a half minutes of the album for nothing! Because of the good lyrics on most of the songs, I'm going to give it 2 stars!

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jan 25 2025

Neil Young is like a good cup of coffee. You can live without it, right? But why risk it?

Sulk by The Associates
Jan 26 2025

not for me mate.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Jan 27 2025

They sound like a mix of Simon & Garfunkel and Neil Young. So much so that Neil himself joined them later, right? A great debut album. I loved it! 5 stars!

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jan 28 2025

Not perfect, but really good! Sounds like a mix of Joy Division and Kraftwerk. Personal Jesus is on the soundtrack of GTA San Andreas, so I listened to it a lot since I was a kid. Gonna give 4 stars today.

Repeater by Fugazi
Jan 29 2025

Cool but not for me mate. 3 stars

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jan 31 2025

Pink Floyd is my favorite band and I'm a simple man. I see Floyd and I hit 5 stars.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Feb 01 2025

I always find it amazing how David Bowie's music can take me straight back to high school. It's like going back in time, when only music could ease the anxiety and the teenage blues, you know, before I was introduced to the alcohol industry.

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 02 2025

I saw a video the other day of John recording 'Gimme Some Truth', and I think he hears someone in the studio missing a note or something, and then he turns to the camera and says "Oh C'mom you Cunts!". And the facial expression he makes is exactly the same as the one on the cover of this album, and I can't look at it without laughing! That aside, Imagine is definitely an iconic album. It's not the best solo Beatle album. Or even Lennon's best. But it's a good album. The production is very well done and some of John's best compositions are present here, like Crippled Inside, Gimme Some Truth, Jealous Guy, the infamous How do You Sleep, and of course, the classic Imagine, which I spent years believing was a Beatles song. It certainly could be. It is in fact the greatest song released after the Beatles in terms of relevance (it is not one of my favorites, but there is no denying that) Over the years, I have learned to appreciate songs like Don't Wanna Be a Soldier and even Oh Yoko more, which makes me leave this review today giving it 5 stars.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 03 2025

She sounds like that smoking aunt that everyone has. Despite that, her vocals are insane. This is a great album, good songs, good lyrics and very well played instruments. Out of the members of the "27 Club" she is the only one that I never imagined going much far than this. I mean, she sang good songs, but she didn't have the same creative force as Hendrix or Morrisson. But I can't deny that it would have been very interesting to listen to more of this powerful voice throughout the 70s.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 04 2025

Second member of the "27 club" in two consecutive days. What's tomorrow going to be? The Doors? I'm starting to think that all 1001 albums are scripted. Anyway, jokes aside. Everything Hendrix did is brilliant. But I always thought that the production of his albums was of low quality. At least compared to what such a brilliant artist deserved to have. Every note he plays with his guitar exudes an enormous aura of creativity and originality, showing the unique way he had to play the guitar. The good bass lines and Mitch Mitchell's brilliant drums complement the songs perfectly. But as I said before, the production is very lacking. At some points, the guitar completely stands out over the other instruments. It almost gives me a headache. But if you think the rating will be anything other than 5 stars, you're crazy! There's no way I can listen to Hendrix without getting goosebumps, no matter how poorly produced the album is. Of the members of the "27 club" this is certainly the one that is most missed. It would have been a delight to see what Hendrix would have done in the 70s, with superior production and recording qualities... we can only imagine!

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 05 2025

Just that little drum roll at the beginning of the songs is already worthy of 5 stars. Imagine the rest!

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Feb 06 2025

A solo album from a Steely Dan member? I really have a lot to listen to... This is a very good album. Nothing compared to the SD classics, but very enjoyable. Makes me think that everything this guy did is worth listening to. I'm giving it 4 stars today.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Feb 07 2025

I get the whole McCartney trilogy thing about experimental music from Paul's creative mind. But... I don't know! This album always gave me the impression that it was poorly made, or made in a haphazard and careless way. I even heard someone say that this album would be the first LO-FI album in history. I think that's an exaggeration. But I get the point. Anyway, this is the album that introduced the world to the anthology "Maybe I'm Amazed", so it gets credit for that. I'm giving it 3 stars today.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Feb 08 2025

It's definitely better than anything Damon Albarn has done in his career.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Feb 09 2025

I must that didn't impress me much. Maybe I need more time to proper digest this.

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Feb 10 2025

Way cooler than I thought! It has a unique sound. Very enjoyable to listen to. I'll give it 4 stars today.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Feb 11 2025

Very good! Pixies never disappoint. There's the classic "Where Is My Mind?" here, and that's worth listening to the whole album, which is very enjoyable to listen to.

Feb 13 2025

When I was 16, I had a "ProgMania era" in my life. It was the period in which I discovered many bands of all genres, especially progressive. Perhaps of all these, Genesis was the band that I explored the most superficially. I remember having only heard Sailing England by The Pound, and I remember that I liked it. And that was it. Listening to the band now years later, I feel that my 16-year-old self would have loved it if I had determined to listen to them carefully. My modern self, however, ahhh... not so much! I mean, it's a very good album, it has great songs and incredible sound effects for the time, and in fact a legitimate album from the peak of Progressive Rock in the 70s, but... I don't know, something about this almost flashy sound doesn't really appeal to me. I'll give it a fair 4 stars.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Feb 14 2025

There are two types of Neil Young fans: 1: I want to live on a farm, raise cattle, and grow corn. 2: I want to live in Seattle, be depressed, and never shower.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Feb 15 2025

So cozy and comfortable to listen to. It felt like a good day on a holyday. I'm gonna give it 4 stars.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Feb 16 2025

Aerosmith in their prime. No mistakes here. 5 stars.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Feb 17 2025

I was wondering... if I was a teenager in the early 70s, I'd loooose my mind listen to this! I never had listen a Alice Cooper album until this day, but of course I knew the track "School's Out", and when I saw the album here today I thought "Oh another regular rock album with at least 2 or 3 good tracks". But turns out to be a great album, where all of the tracks got this "last day at school" vibe. Love it! 5 stars.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Feb 18 2025

If The Beatles were a girl band in the 80's, they would sound just like this! I listened to "We Got The Beat" a few years ago for the first time, and I went crazy about it. At the time, I was discovering girls bands from the 70's and 80's like Blondie, Pretenders, Runaways, B-52's and many others, but never actually stop and listen to a Go-Go's album. They sound pop and very dancing. Simply but good lyrics and an amazing vibe. No mistakes here, 5 stars!

British Steel by Judas Priest
Feb 19 2025

Wow, I haven't listened to this album since high school. Listening now years later, I can notice that this album contains the essential basis of all heavy metal from the 80s. Mainly Iron Maiden, in which I found several similarities. And now I'm a Manchester United fan.

Feb 20 2025

I already knew War because of the legendary song "Low Rider", but I had never stopped to listen to a full album and, I have to say, this is easily one of the best Soul and Funk albums I have ever listened to. Everytime I hear about the best albums in this genre, I hear names like Marvin Gaye or Curtis Mayfield, but I never hear anything about this great band called War. They are very underrated, and they make top quality music. Their Wikipedia article is nothing more than a mere sketch and that is almost a crime. 5 stars of course!

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Feb 21 2025

Great album. It sounds folk, but it's pop. He's got a sweet melody voice. I believe that if The Stone Roses released an acoustic album, it would be sounding just like that. I'm gonna give 4 stars today.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Feb 22 2025

Prime Stevie! 5 stars.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
Feb 23 2025

I think the biggest problem with this album is the amount of tracks, because half of it is garbage. There are some good tracks on there, and she has a good voice, but the album is boring and tiring. I'm gonna give it 2 stars.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 24 2025

Ever since this site sent me a Neil Young album for the first time, I've been exploring his work more and more and becoming more and more addicted to it. This must be the fourth album that has arrived here on the site, but I've listened to practically everything he released between 1969 and 1992 (I stopped at Harvest Moon because I've been listening to that album on repeat every day for a few weeks). So, I credit this site for giving me my newest addiction. Thank you. On The Beach has a much more bluesy aura, without abandoning the folk aesthetic that characterizes many of his songs. The big difference on this album is in the percussions. They give a more relaxing dynamic to the album. It really makes you think you're listening to this on a beach. 5 stars, no secrets!

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

I just received a Neil Young album yesterday, and today we have CSN & Young... I'm keeping an eye on that premeditated script, huh, 1001albunsgenerator! But I'm not complaining, quite the opposite. I've been completely immersed in Neil Young's work, and all his projects, like his contribution to Crosby, Stills & Nash. Here he leaves us with at least two wonderful songs in his voice: Helpless and Country Girl. Speaking of the album as a whole, few times in history do you get the opportunity to listen to an album as perfect as this one. All 10 tracks are absolute hits. There are songs that hit the soul hard like "Almost Cut My Hair" and "4 + 20" and there are songs that are impossible not to shake your bones like "Woodstock" and "Everybody I Love You" One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given!

Youth And Young Manhood by Kings of Leon
Feb 26 2025

That's a Fine Album! One of the best things that the 2000's rock got to offer. That was the first time I ever listened to this band, and it was a great experience. Not perfect, but great! I'm gonna leave 4 stars today.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Feb 27 2025

I used to hang out with this girl who loved to have sex while listening to this album. Things always used to go crazy when "Space Truckin'" started to play (COME ON!). I wasn't even a huge Deep Purple fan back then, but when you have a hot chick like that claiming you as her Highway Star, you change your mind in a heartbeat! Seriously, Smoke On The Water deserves a proper shout-out. Not only because it's probably the most famous guitar riff in music history, but everything involved in the context of this song is absolutely legendary, and the guys in Purple knew it. So much so that in the lyrics of the song itself they say: "No matter what we get out of this I know, I know we'll never forget" An absolute 5 stars for this legendary album!

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Feb 28 2025

I had a lot of fun listening to this album. It sounds like the good old days of 90's Britpop. I'll give it 4 stars.

An absolute Bowie classic! Probably the album I've listened to the most, along with Heroes. It's one of the anthems of my adolescence, and at the same time it's an album I've never stopped listening to. Every now and then I play it and start enjoying it as if it were the first time. 5 stars, obviously!

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Mar 02 2025

When I was a kid, Michael Jackson died, and his popularity grew tremendously at that time, especially among us kids, who were getting in touch with this 80s pop music for the first time. Along with this whole new world that appeared before us, a kind of silly rivalry also grew between the King and Queen of Pop. The boys were fans of Michael, and the girls were fans of Madonna. And it was as simple as that: the boys didn't listen to Madonna because it was a girl thing, and the girls didn't listen to Michael because it was a boy thing. Silly, right? But because of that, Madonna is probably the most famous artist whose songs I've never listened to until today! And only today I realize what a huge mistake I made all these years. I had a lot of fun listening to this album, and just like in 2009, a new world of 80's pop music is once again open up before me to explore... even though it's a "girl thing."

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Mar 03 2025

This is definetely not pop music! It's not something I'll hear every day. It needs a proper time to enjoy it, but it's definetely good music... I'm gonna leave 3 stars today.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 04 2025

That's a fine album! Tiny Dancer worths the all the trip, but the rest of the album is also pretty good! Not my favorite Elton John's album, but Madman Across The Water is an obrigatory stop on the marathon. I'm gonna give it 4 stars.

Leftism by Leftfield
Mar 05 2025

bad day to have ears.

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Mar 07 2025

"Baby's Got Sauce" but they don't. Some of the songs give me the same feeling as drinking spoiled milk after waking up with a tequila hangover. The album ends up being a compilation of good song ideas wasted. I'm giving it 2 stars because I admit I found myself dancing to "Cold Drinks" and "Shooting Hoops", and these guys seem to be having a lot of fun recording this, so it's worth it. It's the kind of thing I'd play with my friends while we knock back a few beers.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Mar 08 2025

I'm not a great fan of Coldplay, but that's a fine album! Yellow is a 2000's classic! Gonna leave 4 stars today.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Mar 09 2025

This is a nice album! Must be the third Tim Buckley's album I got from here, and in all of them I had basically the same experience: A good, calming and enjoyable album. 4 stars it is.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Mar 10 2025

Not bad at all. Just a regular good album from the end of the 60's. 3 stars.

So by Peter Gabriel
Mar 11 2025

Here we have some great 80's music! Listening to Peter Gabriel was a really nice surprise. He is one of the artists on my waiting list whose work I most need to explore in more depth. I'm going to give it 4 stars today. Very Nice!

Tea for the Tillerman by Cat Stevens
Mar 12 2025

I remember the first time I listened to "Father and Son" when I was 16, and it hit so hard in my soul at the time, it seemed that the song were speaking directly to me. Since then, Cat Stevens been on my waiting list, and finally my chance came, and boy... why dind't I had listen to this before? I wasted so much time. This is wonderful. It's my kind of music you know, it just fills my soul! Of course I knew "Wild World" too, but all of the songs are amazing. 5 stars without a doubt!

Wild Gift by X
Mar 13 2025

The first time I heard a song by X was while playing GTA V a couple of years ago. The song "Los Angeles" is part of the game's soundtrack. And both this song, the album of the same name, and "Wild Gift" have something in common. They are a fierce and fast quickie. The best 4 seconds of a rooster's life. The last dance of a male rabbit. But really, really good! Top-notch punk rock, and that means cheap production, simple chords and played in a quick and dirty way. Damn, this is good...

Who's Next by The Who
Mar 14 2025

Sometimes, a review isn't needed. This is my top 3 albuns of all time, I grew up listening to this and I won't waste much of my time (and yours) writing about how great this album are! - Meet the new review - Same as the old review

Mar 15 2025

Much better than I expected. It was a true journey through different musical genres, all mixed into a high-quality hip hop epic! The album has its low points, but it's worth listening to! And also... it has the 2000s classic "Hey Ya!" 4 stars.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Mar 16 2025

This album is a work of art! All the songs are true epics, everything sounds incredibly grand! I enjoy listening to this album every time I vaguely forget how mind-blowing music can be! 5 stars of course.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Mar 17 2025

TPATH's debut, huh? What can I say? 30 minutes of top-notch rock n roll. Very good for a debut. I'm definitely not the best person to review an album that goes well with road trips and motorcycles. For me, it's just 5 stars, automatically! Bonus: I became very happy with the new wave of fans that Tom has been gaining since "Love is a Long Road" was used in the GTA VI trailer, precisely because I also became a Tom Petty fan thanks to a GTA game, in this case, San Andreas, with the song "Runnin' Down a Dream"! LONG LIVE TOM PETTY! You'll never gonna be forgotten!

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Mar 18 2025

Cool. Not bad. Another regular hip hop album, nothing too impressive.

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Mar 19 2025

That was fun as hell. Punk rock, before even exists! 60's always manage to amaze me. 5 stars.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Mar 20 2025

It was a fun album. It has some good songs and some that are kind of silly. I really liked the guitars, they sound very creative. The instruments themselves are nothing special, but they are well played. The vocals are also good. My problem here is that the album sounds too average. It lacks flavor, it lacks seasoning. I'll give it 3 stars.

Faith by George Michael
Mar 21 2025

I knew George Michael thanks to that incredibly boring song called Careless Whisper, which is present in every playlist of bad-fuck songs out there and tik-tok videos with someone doing a car drift in high speed. I was expecting some romantic and cheesy ballads in advance. Right away, I was surprised by a great song that gives the album its title, "Faith". But the rest is exactly what I expected. His voice is cool and striking, and it fits this type of music. The album loses a lot of points due to lack of creativity. Most of the songs make me believe that I've already heard them in the voices of other artists from the same era. Anyway, I think 3 stars is a fair rating.

Peter Gabriel 3 by Peter Gabriel
Mar 23 2025

Always a pleasure to listen to Peter Gabriel. Another good album. 4 stars is fair enough.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Mar 24 2025

Very good indie rock album! Sometimes I feel like the tracks on this album go on a little longer than they should. I think if some of the tracks were only half as long, it would be a 5 star album. Half Light II is worth the trip!

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Mar 25 2025

Thanks to today's recommendation, I re-listened to Jimi's entire discography once again. After all, you don't open a good beer just to have a small sip, do you?

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Mar 26 2025

It's a great album to listen to as a background for some other activity. I already knew "Keep On Movin" but I confess that club-house music is not really my thing.

Pyromania by Def Leppard
Mar 27 2025

Def Leppard is one of the few Hard Rock/Heavy Metal bands from the 80s that I never listened to or was interested in. The only things I knew about the band until today were that they had really cool album covers, and the song "Photograph", which is on the GTA V soundtrack (once again the Grand Theft Auto series has proven to have influenced at least 10% of my musical taste and knowledge). I immediately melted at the first chorus of "Rock! Rock! (til' you drop)". Any possible prejudice I might have had regarding this 80s aesthetic with a taste of bubblegum and banana, which I now find extremely nauseating, evaporated completely in the face of this overwhelming song. A great start to an album that leaves no loose ends. An excellent hard rock album, with choruses that you can sing at the top of your lungs in large arenas. There are no flaws. 5 stars.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Mar 28 2025

He had a sweet and precious voice, and his interpretations were fantastic. A unique artist who is sorely missed today. The version of Hallelujah on this album is, for me (and for many others), the best version of Leonard Cohen's classic. There are no mistakes here. 5 stars.

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 29 2025

S E X the voice! For me, Sade is the kind of artist that can't be left out of your sex playlist. She's like the female version of Marvin Gaye, and "Smooth Operator" is like "Let's Get It On" This is a great debut album. 9 songs of the highest quality, both in terms of sound and composition and instrumental. Her voice embraces us like a soft purple silk curtain, leading us to experience sensations of lust and pleasure. 5 stars, of course.

I'm definitely not a fan of Nu-metal. Especially Limp Bizkit. I have a very funny memory of a show they did in São Paulo - Brazil, where they decided to play a Nirvana cover, and ended up playing probably the worst version of Smells Like Teen Spirit ever recorded. I burst out laughing when Fred Durst said "Load up on guns..." and let the audience continue the song. Anyway. Leaving that aside, when the band isn't playing their usual nu-metal mixed with hip-hop, which works as well with Fred's voice as a mix of pistachio ice cream and couscous, I've heard some good songs there, you know, in the brief moments when they did something that didn't follow the cliché. I'm going to give it 2 stars today, and I think that's a lot.

The Band by The Band
Mar 31 2025

Another great album from the 60's! There's not much to say about it, it's just great. Not the best album in the world, but great. I'm gonna leave 4 stars.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Apr 01 2025

A very interesting album. I can see several references to great artists of the past in the sound of the songs. The lyrics are very beautiful and profound. Call me crazy, but it sounds like a distant cousin of Bob Dylan with great influences from Pink Floyd, singing in a dreampop band. Coo-coo. Anyway, 4 stars sounds good.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Apr 02 2025

A nice pop/punk rock album

The La's by The La's
Apr 03 2025

This is probably the most underrated album I've ever listened to. I first listen it 6 years ago, after reading an interview with Noel Gallagher, where he mentioned his 13 favorite albums, and to this day, The La's first and only release is among my 20 favorite albums of all time! We know that a huge wave of influence from the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Who would hit the market with the bands of the 90s in England. That's how Britpop was born. But right at the end of the 80s, some other bands stood out, like those from the Madchester scene, with bands like Happy Mondays, Charlatans, and of course, the Stone Roses (which the first album is also in my top 20 and I also think it's very underrated). But practically going in the opposite direction of all the bands of that time, The La's appears, and instead of seeking influence from bands from the 60s, like the Beatles, they drink from the same source that inspired bands like the Beatles, like the Rock n Roll of the 50s, Skiffle bands and others. It's as if a band from the British invasion had been trapped in the 90s after a time travel gone wrong (or very right depending on your point of view). All the 12 songs here are absolute hits! Starting with the simple and catchy "Son Of A Gun", going through the contagious "Timeless Melody", with great acoustic hits like "Liberty Ship", "Doledrum" and "Freedom Song", stunning rock n' roll songs like "I Can't Sleep", "Feelin'" and "Failure" and of course, the magical finale "Looking Glass" which to this day, is one of my favorite album closers of all time. But of course the big hit on this album is "There She Goes". I was very happy when not long ago this song went viral on social media in short videos. It's one of the few good things this type of media does, introducing people to great songs from the past. The rating would be nothing other than 5 stars, of course!

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Apr 04 2025

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ANGEL OF THE DEAAAAAAATH!!!!!

The Stooges by The Stooges
Apr 06 2025

This is where Punk begins. The anthem: "I Wanna Be Your Dog" The whole album seems to be a mix of everything that rock had brought us up until then. It mixes this thing they called "Proto-punk" with psychedelic rock in a brilliant way. The album is only not 5 stars because "We will Fall" comes in in a very disconnected way with the rest of the album. It is a slow, drawn out and long track, which does not match the vibe of the rest of the album. That said: Great album! 4 stars.

Apr 07 2025

British hip-hop? You gotta be kidding me... 2 stars. I could've died before hear that for sure.

Purple Rain by Prince
Apr 08 2025

I'm not really into Prince. It's just not my kind of music. But I'd be an idiot if I didn't recognize that I'm listening to some truly great music! plus: Purple Rain is a legendary song! 4 stars is good.

Faust IV by Faust
Apr 09 2025

I think I lost some brain cells

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Apr 10 2025

I simply couldn't find any flaws 5 stars. Very high quality music!

Apr 11 2025

It's not the Kinks' best work. It sounds very lazy. But I always find myself going crazy over the drum sound on this album. An extra star will be given for that alone. 4 stars. plus: Waterloo Sunset is an immortal classic.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 12 2025

Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

Homework by Daft Punk
Apr 13 2025

Here's a little math for ya Around the World × 33678 ÷ 800 parts of the same bullshit × Around The World a few more times + 8 ecstasy pills + 85 neon braceletes over ya body + at least 3 white lines in a row × Around The World a few more times = AROUND THE WORLD AROUND THE WOOOORLD!

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 14 2025

That's the real hip-hop! Not that overproduced bullshit, just the simple samples and the rhymes. 5 stars.

London Calling by The Clash
Apr 16 2025

I've never been a fan of The Clash, but I'd be crazy if I said that this wasn't a masterpiece of Punk Rock. It was where the genre found its peak. It's musically very rich, full of hits, great instrumentals, good vocals... anyway, it's a very fun album, and although it's not to my taste, it's undoubtedly a 5-star album!

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Apr 17 2025

A hidden gem from the 60s. Among so many classic albums that came out at the end of that decade, Velvet Underground may sometimes go unnoticed, but it's always a pleasure to listen to them. I think 4 stars is a fair rating.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 18 2025

If the combination of depression and desperation had an album, it would be this one. And that's not a compliment. I played this for a homeless and he said "here's 5 bucks pal, you need more than me."

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 19 2025

Always a pleasure to hear Bob Marley's voice.

Apr 21 2025

While most of the rock bands in 68 were doing psychedelic stuff, The Byrds were one of the few bands who said: "Fuck it. Here's some old ragged ass fuckin country music up your ass, mate!"

Guero by Beck
Apr 22 2025

Yeaaaah! Sounded good. I never heard about this Beck before, but it was a nice surprise. I'm gonna give it 4 stars.

Apr 23 2025

well well well. we got a huge thrash metal classic today. I wasn't a big fã of Megadeath until I listen to the track "Peace Sells" on the GTA Vice City Soundtrack (once again, GTA rulling my musical taste). Still not my taste, but this album is awesome. 4 stars is fair enough.

Vespertine by Björk
Apr 24 2025

If I had to pay to listen to a stoned Icelandic woman who recorded her own farts on an album, I would be mourning the loss of that precious money to this day. I've listened to some of Bjork's early stuff, and some of it was actually pretty good. But this album wasn't worth the time I spent listening to it. 2 stars and I'm being generous.

Teen Dream by Beach House
Apr 25 2025

Not so bad. Not so good. Just an indie album to listen to in a cold day. 3 stars

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Apr 26 2025

Honestly, I was very disappointed when I listened to this album. I know the name Nine Inch Nails from Hurt, which I listened from Johnny Cash for the first time. For this reason, I had high expectations for this album. Honestly, it sounds like a collection of noises and melodic vocal lines that sound like moans. Not even the original version of Hurt at the end of the album pleased me. Today it is 1 star.

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Apr 27 2025

I felt like i'm in 1958, driving a Jaguar Mark IX while listening to this... wonderful! 5 stars.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Apr 28 2025

Fela Kuti's son? This album had no chance of being bad!

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 29 2025

Hell of a way to start a Monday! I already knew some of the songs from other sources, such as "Just a Gigolo/ I Ain't Got Nobody" which I listened for the first time sung by David Lee Roth, and also a small excerpt from "Body And Soul" at 2:19 of the song, which was used on the Brazilian program "Pião da Casa Própria" by the legendary Silvio Santos. This album is a true masterpiece of Doo-wop Sh-boom music!

Apr 30 2025

Simple math here: for a soundtrack, 4 stars. For a regular album, 3 stars. But why should I listen to this before I die? 2 stars. So yes: 2 stars.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
May 01 2025

If I had a physical copy of this album, I think I could sell the plastic of the CD and the booklet sheets to buy a useful plastic bag.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
May 02 2025

Top quality Latin music! A shout out from Brazil to my Latin friends in Cuba!

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 03 2025

This album is for you who finish with your woman cause she couldn't help you with your mind. For you who agrees that politicians hide themselves away after started the war. For you, living in the crimson eye of Great God Mars. For you, that just stares at the world. For you, living in a dying world of radiation. For you, who knows what to do when time's caught up with you. For you, banging your head at the Rat Salad. For you, who believes that fairies wear boots. It's a day to dust off the old LP or CD, or even type the album's name in that green app, and let loose! IRON MAN LIVES AGAIN!

Ten by Pearl Jam
May 04 2025

A grunge classical. No more words to say about it. 5 stars.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 05 2025

Any Chicago Blues from the 50's and 60's wins an automatic 5 stars from me.

War by U2
May 06 2025

Personally, I'm not a big fan of U2's first 3 albums. I'm more into the ones that came after "Unforgettable Fire". But there's no denying that "War" is a great album. Sunday Bloody Sunday is an iconic song. 4 stars is fair.

NEU! 75 by Neu!
May 07 2025

It was an interesting album, but not very easy to digest.

Truth by Jeff Beck
May 08 2025

That's a great album for a debut, but too regular to carry the Jeff Beck's name. 3 stars is fair enough.

Heroes by David Bowie
May 09 2025

This album still makes me smell the old bus, packed with people, and smelling of old oil and gasoline that took me to school in my first year of high school. The cold weather and the rain wetting the glass, while "Joe The Lion" was banging in my headphones. "Beauty and The Beast" still makes me dance internally, and Heroes still manages to transport me to another planet. I still remember singing "I will be king and you will be queen" to my girlfriend at the time, and she thought it was the most romantic thing in the world hahahaha! "Sons of The Silent Age" and "Blackout" close one of the most incredible Side A's in history! Over the years, I learned to appreciate the songs on Side B's better too. It's my favorite of the Berlin trilogy, by far! 5 stars obviously.

Horses by Patti Smith
May 10 2025

An album that teaches us to look at that young lady on the cover, who looks more like a lost daughter of Mick Jagger and Joey Ramone, and teaches us not to judge the music based on that. 4 stars is fair hahahaha

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
May 11 2025

That was fun as hell! It's just my kinda of music. 5 stars.

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
May 12 2025

I don't know exactly why, but everything about this album sounds extremely fake.

I think this must be the second PJ Harvey album to appear on this site... anyway, it's pure and genuine, full of emotion. Great songs and lyrics make this album flow very well, except for the small moments where it seems to drag a little. 4 stars.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
May 14 2025

When I lost sleep at 3:30 in the morning, I never imagined that I would discover one of the best albums of this year. This song simply connects with the soul of a tired worker. It makes you want to pick up your old guitar and sing the old blues out of your chest. I've been doing this challenge for 380 consecutive days, and albums like this remind me why I started. 5 stars.

Vivid by Living Colour
May 15 2025

Cult of Personality is yet another proof of how the Grand Theft Auto series has shaped my musical taste over the years. I'll probably forget the other songs on this album. I'll probably even forget the name of the album. But Cult Of Personality will always have a special place in my memories.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
May 16 2025

Cool! It feels like I've been transported somewhere in the Lord Of The Rings story or India. It has a cool vibe, but it didn't really surprise me musically. I think 3 stars is fair.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
May 17 2025

Here in Brazil, I grew up with an awful thing called "Funk Carioca", which is a poor and disgusting version of the real funk. But at 10 years old, I had no clue about that. I thought that funk it was just an awful and obscene kinda of music. But then one fine day I listened to a song called "Snow" and I thought "Oh nice, it has good guitars, so it's rock". Little I knew... So, like a regular teenager rock fan in the early 2010's, I found the RHCP popular songs, such as "Californication", "Can't Stop", "Otherside", "Scar Tissue"... The famous ones, right? But not much time later, I randomly discovered a song called "Mellowship Slinky in B Major" and I said "WOW"! Then I started to indulge in the RHCP discography, which introduced me to James Brown's music, and a whole Funk and disco music universe from the 70's. In my opinion, the only mistake in this album, is the large amount of songs. They could released 2 albuns out of that. But since all of them are awesome, still gets my 5 stars rate.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
May 18 2025

Luckily for me, today is Saturday and I have some free time. A 3-hour album, for christ sake... But against all odds, judging by the length of the album, the number of tracks and that horrible cover, I really liked this album. Well, at least the songs, individually speaking. From what I read on the wiki, the idea behind the album was to showcase the songwriting talents of the vocalist Stephin Merritt, and he really does it very well. The songs are genuinely interesting, both lyrically and instrumentally, and completely avoid any cliché that the album's title might suggest. The biggest flaw of this album is precisely its unbearable length, as it doesn't create any pleasant experience in a "one go listen". Generally, a tired adult who doesn't have time to dedicate 3 hours of their day to listening to music with due attention will take at least 3 days to finish listening to it, thus creating a much stronger connection with just one of the three sides of the album, or with the songs themselves, individually only. In short, as an album: 3 stars, because it follows the theme established in the title, but it is unbearably long. Musically speaking: 4 stars, because the songs are genuinely interesting and avoid any cliche that the name of the album might suggest. I'm in a good mood, I'll give it 4 stars hahaha.

Queen Of Denmark by John Grant
May 19 2025

At first I thought it would be another sad indie album. But I was surprised. It's a very sentimental album, everything that is being said, both in the lyrics and in the harmonies, rings very true. It was a pleasant surprise. 4 stars.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 20 2025

FOOOONNNNKEEEeee... I felt like I was in a late 70's black & white dancefloor. 5 stars

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
May 21 2025

Very interesting! That's the second album that it comes for me in this site, first one being the "If You're Feeling Sinister" released in the same year, and I got the same impressions than before. It's pop, it's indie, it's folk... still looks like The Stone Roses released an acoustic album, but a little more electric this time. Not perfect, but great album. 4 stars. In 1996, they're certainly were inspired...

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
May 22 2025

This sounds a lot like The Jam. Interesting to hear something of what would become Echo and The Bunnymen in the future, but it's just a well-made copy of Paul Weller's band. 3 stars is fair.

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
May 23 2025

Reading the wiki, I was able to understand the background that shows the importance of this album and the influence it had on well-known musicians and artists. But musically speaking, I didn't hear anything that made this album special or unique, other than the fact that this guy is really horny. Could someone give this man the cunt? For God's sake...

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
May 24 2025

I've listened to this album and these songs a million of times, and even today I'm still amazed at how much this guy's voice sounds like an electric guitar in overdrive... Simply amazing!

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
May 26 2025

English is not my native language. But the moment I understand any of the Cocteau Twins' lyrics, or any of Liam Gallagher's interviews, without the help of any subtitles, I can get my Green Card anywhere in the world. This was not a music critic. Music is not just about the words and their meanings. It's about how the sounds they emit make you feel. And in this regard, Cocteau Twins are very good! The album, despite being slightly short, has a magnetic aura, which attracts the ears of sensitive people and makes them travel into this particular universe that the album possesses. Well, at least that's what I felt, I didn't understand a damn thing of the lyrics! hahahahaha. Anyway, 4 stars.

Synchronicity by The Police
May 27 2025

I'm not a huge fan of The Police, but this album exudes an extremely magnetic creativity that makes you want to listen to more and more of it. Plus, "Every Breath You Take" is one of the most incredible songs ever written. It's not perfect, but it deserves 4 stars.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
May 28 2025

I suspect these guys haven't released a single bad song.

Machine Gun Etiquette by The Damned
May 29 2025

This album sounds like 3 really thick lines of coke at 6 in the morning (which was when I listened to the album. How do I turn off this airplane engine that's in my ear right now, for the love of god?)

May 30 2025

Would you release an album with your band 1 week after your husband died? Well, this girl did. I only knew a few songs from Hole, and I had definitely never heard this album, but I was impressed by Courtney Love's vocal energy, how it sounds visceral and soft at the same time, and the same logic can be applied to the band. They sound like a post-punk band that decided to play metal. In other words... grunge hahaha. It's not a spectacular album, but the 4 stars are deserved.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
May 31 2025

Wow... It's no wonder that many fans are so attached to the early phase of this band with Paul. I listened to this album for the first time, not long ago, and I noticed the huge contrast in the sound of this album with those that would come later in this decade. They sound much more raw, like a rough diamond, but one that doesn't need to be polished. It's like a slightly cleaner version of Motorhead, if it's not too much of a heresy to say that hahaha. Plus, just like Black Sabbath, who debuted with an album of the same name, with a song of the same name in it, and changed the history of this so-called Heavy Metal by creating this genre, here we also have an "Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden - Iron Maiden", which introduces (at the end of the album hahaha) one of the most important and influential bands of this genre in the 80s. Everything fits together perfectly, as if the universe were conspiring for this...

Highly Evolved by The Vines
Jun 01 2025

Cool. Sounds like a mix of Oasis and Jet. Very cool.

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jun 02 2025

God, I love maturity... The Verve released one of my all-time favorite albums, Urban Hymns, and it made a certain 17-year-old (AKA: me) very disappointed with the band's other albums. But now, listening to it again years later, The Northern Soul sounds amazing! Maturity has taught me to appreciate albums like this, without the need to compare them to other albums that are incomparable. It's not perfect, but it deserves 4 stars.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 04 2025

I was listening to some White Stripes music the other day, and I came to the conclusion that they are a band from the 70s, who released their albums in the 2000s. It's hard to find something as raw and visceral as this in this decade in terms of production and sound (I'm not talking about Nu metal). It's nothing spectacular, compared to others from the same era, but this style of laid-back, carefree, naked and visceral blues rock is contagious! 4 stars is fair.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Jun 05 2025

Cool. Nothing Else to say. I mean, It's not like I din't listened to things like that millions of times before. Just a regular rock album. 3 stars

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jun 06 2025

The first impression this album gives, as soon as "Welcome to The Working Week" starts playing, is that it's an album from the 2000s... except it's 1977! As the tracks go by, the evidence of the album's real year becomes clearer, but it's still an album with a sound that's way... way ahead of its time. Despite being simple, it's catchy and fun. No technical or lyrical excellence, but it's really cool. 4 stars is fair.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jun 08 2025

Looks like something that Carlitos de la technobanda would dance to.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Jun 09 2025

Wow, I had a great time listening to this album! It has the perfect 70's vibe that I can totally relate to. 5 stars, no mistake.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jun 10 2025

This sounds like those songs that play on your car radio early in the morning while you're driving to work. The ones where you think "hmm that's cool" but you have no genuine interest in it. 3 stars.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jun 12 2025

This was really cool! I had listened to some of this band's songs on random playlists, but I had never really stopped to listen to them. It exceeded my expectations, very good. 4 stars.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

Thank you so much 1001albunsgenerator for send this one day after Brian Wilson's death. His legacy will be eternal!

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jun 14 2025

A good and regular album from the late 60's. Nothing more. Is it me, or at some points, the guy singin sound like bowie?

Jun 15 2025

I'm not a big Blur fan. But I recognize the importance of this album for the so-called Britpop of the 90s. I'm not sure if this is the right album to be in the 1001 albums. I personally consider Parklife a much better and more important album. But anyway, I'll leave 4 stars here and leave.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jun 16 2025

BRAZIL MENTIONED!!! This is probably the most internationally known album from my country, and it is indeed a national treasure. But here's a warning to the gringos: there's much more to our music than you can imagine. We're not just made of bossa nova, soccer and hot womens hahahahaha

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jun 17 2025

The first time I came across Jane's Addiction was through Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (again, GTA has always shaped my musical taste, ever since I was a kid). In the game, the classic Been Caught Steeling plays on Radio X. I love this song, but I had never stopped to listen to a full album by this band. When I saw it was a Jane's Addiction album I thought "huh, could this be the one with the GTA radio song?" NOP, it wasn't. But it's a very fun album, from a time when the term "alternative rock" meant something. 4 stars is fair.

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jun 18 2025

Interesting, but none of the songs got me going. Maybe I need a few more listens to digest this properly. I'll leave 3 stars.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jun 19 2025

This smells like the 2000s and puberty... in a bad way

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jun 20 2025

Cool! A very raw and visceral rock for a change. It has that Airbourne or AC/DC vibe.

Elastica by Elastica
Jun 21 2025

When I was a teenager, I used to wear my Oasis t-shirt like it was a football team shirt, and all the other Britpop bands were my "rivals". Blur? Enemies! And then one day someone came up to me and said "This band called Elastica, has surpassed Oasis in fastest-selling debut albums", and I was like "Noooo waaaayyy..." Thank God for maturity! hahahaha Although, as I thought back then, I still think this band sounds like a female version of Blur, but there's no denying that this album is spectacular. Top-notch Britpop!

Jun 22 2025

If every Hip Hop album had at least 20% of the power and aura that this one has, the world would be a very different place.

461 Ocean Boulevard by Eric Clapton
Jun 24 2025

I only really started to indulge in Eric's solo career in my early 20s, after spending my entire teens listening to overstimulating bands like Led Zeppelin, with their grueling guitar solos and riffs. Then, listening to albums like 461 Ocean Boulevard, I started to notice things, musically speaking, that I hadn't noticed before. It was like watching pornography your entire life, and then suddenly having sex for the first time. Amazing!

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 25 2025

This turned out to be surprisingly boring. This singer's voice sounds like a dead version of Morrison. It really bored me, but there are some good moments here and there. 2 stars.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jun 26 2025

Not for me mate. Sure it have it's value, but I had some problems to keep myself awake during this. 2 stars

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Jun 27 2025

Not my kind of music but the version od House Of The Rising Sun worthed the trip. 3 stars

Jun 28 2025

This was surprisingly good. A very moody hip-hop and soul album. Totally different from what I expected. It was only after listening to the album that I discovered that this guy sang Kung Fu Fighting for the Panda movie. I listened to that version my entire childhood. I thought I had heard that voice somewhere before. Anyway, 4 stars.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 29 2025

A good Punk Rock band. But a band that I discovered through the GTA franchise. They are raw and dirty, as every good punk band should be. It's not perfect, but it gets the job done clearly and to the point. 4 stars.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Jun 30 2025

It was fun. Sounds a lot like the 90s indeed

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Jul 01 2025

It was a great pleasure to be able to listen to this album. The 2000s should have had more albums like this.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jul 02 2025

A good country album. The harmony of their voices together is the highlight of the whole thing. It's divine! I'll give it 4 stars.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 03 2025

This album made me think a little bit. I can imagine myself in the 70s, buying this vinyl in a random record store, and I would probably think "Uh, this is new? I'll take it", but for me it wouldn't make much of an impact, because albums like this came out every day in the 70s. It's very regular, very normal! But here's what really sets the 70s apart, because here I am listening to this extremely regular album, 52 years after it was released, on the other side of the world. Even the regular and bad music from the 70's still lives on, and that's really impressive. But as for the album itself... not so much. I feel like I've heard this album a million times under the feet of others. I'll give it 3 stars, it doesn't get any more regular than that.

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Jul 04 2025

Nice. It has a similar vibe to Electric Light Orchestra. I liked it.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Jul 05 2025

I've never really liked David's singing. Either he's having a stroke or he's getting a blowjob. That's the impression I get. But other than that, the sound is pretty cool. They always sound very creative. But it's not something I would listen to every day. Talking Heads is a band that I've never really liked, but 3 stars is fair.

Jul 06 2025

This is probably the best (and perhaps the only) album of true Gangsta Rap. Absolute classic, 5 stars

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
Jul 07 2025

Sounds good. Like a more folksy and mystical version of Bob Dylan. Chillin' folk for a Sunday night.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Jul 08 2025

Anything with Chris Cornell's voice in it is 5 stars.

The Colour Of Spring by Talk Talk
Jul 09 2025

The album already won me over with the first two tracks. Particularly with the song "I don't Believe In You". But I was wondering inside, "Where have I heard this guy's voice before?" The next song answered my question: Life's What You Make It is on the GTA Vice City soundtrack. I listened to this song throughout my adolescence, and here's more proof that the GTA series shaped almost all of my musical taste. Speaking of the album, the whole thing sounds so smooth. It went down like a warm coffee with cream at 10 in the morning on a cold day. Love it.

Jul 10 2025

Probably the best live recording of one of the greatest rock 'n' roll bands of all time at their peak. Every time I listen to Motorhead, I'm amazed by how powerful this sound is, played by just three instruments. Overkill is the moment when this reaches its highest level, in my opinion. I can be wrong, but I think the reason that it sounds like that, it's because Phil 'Animal' Taylor's drums sounds just like an atomic bomb. That's not a drum kit, it's a locomotive without brakes. Damn...

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Jul 11 2025

This album has a shitty sound, but the shitty version of just like heaven worthed the trip. 2 stars.

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jul 12 2025

This album left a huge mystery in my mind throughout its duration. I couldn't quite define what I was listening to, whether it was post-punk, goth rock, alternative rock... when an album leaves you with this confusing atmosphere and still gets you going... you have to give it some credit. 4 stars is fair.

Hearts And Bones by Paul Simon
Jul 13 2025

Paul Simon is one of those artists who probably never released a single bad song. Need I say more? 5 stars.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jul 14 2025

Much more noise than music itself. Revolution 9 Enhanced dub remix version.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jul 15 2025

This album is like a Mozzarella Pizza or coffee: You might find someone who doesn't like it, but it's pretty hard.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
Jul 16 2025

Sounds like a mix of Sinatra and Willie Nelson. Loved It! Totally could be released in the 50's

C'est Chic by CHIC
Jul 17 2025

Even someone who doesn't like music has heard Le Freak at least once in their life. This song is embedded in pop culture and everyone's imagination. It's truly a legendary song, made by an equally legendary band, who's never released a bad song. Is it possible to give it more than 5 stars?

Jul 18 2025

Imagine someone recording songs with just a guitar and a harmônica, and 62 years later, people are still listening to it. Simply Dylan. Freewheelin' is an imortal album, with legendary songs and It was the first big hit of a legendary artist. Music wouldn't be the same without it. Even tho we livin diferent times, those lyrics remain fresh as new. His odd voice, singing in a odd way, sang for an intire generation, and people remained passing it foward until today. There's no words enough to say how big is Bob Dylan, and I won't waste them anymore. 5 stars.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Jul 19 2025

The late '60s were a big time for country music. I don't think any bad albums in this genre were released during that era. This album is as easy listening as pizza is easy eating. You know the flavor, but you never get tired of it. 5 stars.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jul 20 2025

It has a The Jam vibe. I liked it. New wave was a really fantastic era.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jul 21 2025

The Black Keys. What a great band for times like these. I think that El Camino is their best album, but Brothers were their peak of creativity. I'd like to listen to more bands like this on mainstream.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jul 23 2025

I don't know, everything that I listened to from Madonna sounds so regular... 3 stars is enough.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jul 24 2025

REGAAAEEE!!! That was freakin awesome mah bruhder! BOM BO CLAAAAT!

american dream by LCD Soundsystem
Jul 25 2025

Wow, what an awful album! It almost ruined my day off. Zero creativity, from the cover (which looks like some evangelical church pamphlet made in the old Windows XP Paint) to the last second of this crap. I think this is the first time in a long time I've had a huge urge to give it less than 1 star. Unfortunately, I can't. Next one, please.

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jul 26 2025

I didn't know she was a singer, I swear. I knew her from the movies. Very well done, like practically everything she does. 4 stars.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Jul 27 2025

In the '60s, everything Eric Clapton touched turned to gold. It's no wonder he was called "God." This album is awesome! 5 stars.

Jul 28 2025

Before invasive cameras and colorful wristbands. Before thousands of people with emotional problems go to concerts just to take blurry selfies, back in 2002 there was a great band, with two great albums, that should have split up that year. Although some are reluctant to say it, songs like "The Scientist" and "Clocks" are classics of the 2000s.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Jul 29 2025

Just like honey is a classic, but all the rest sounds too fuzzie for me. 2 stars

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Jul 30 2025

A good example of an artist who improves 100% in his live performances. Great Album!

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
Jul 31 2025

"Post Orgasmic chill" it's just for girls. For the boys is "Post Jerk Off Depression"

Street Life by The Crusaders
Aug 01 2025

The Street Life track was good, but the other ones without lyrics sounds like porno soundtrack. Still better than most of the shit that plays on the radio these days tho...

Aug 02 2025

Great album. Very ambitious and bold for a debut album. Some things didn't work at certain points, which can make the experience a bit sluggish, but I think that's just a consequence of the era when most bands were experimenting too much. It has good songs, and it's a great debut from a great band. 4 stars is fair.

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Aug 03 2025

Looks like he recorded one single beat and putted on loop, and then jammed a 40 minute rhyme book on top of that. I mean, it's cool, but boring at the same time.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Aug 04 2025

If I'm traveling on a highway at 70 miles per hour, how many brain cells can I pop in 1 hour, 18 minutes, and 38 seconds? Answer: Countless.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 05 2025

On any ordinary day in 1967, masterpieces like this were coming out. Impressive. As I said a few days ago on the Blues Breakers album, everything Clapton touched in the '60s turned to gold, and it's no wonder he was called "God." But this is different. Because not only Clapton, but two other musical geniuses were involved: Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. What these three did on Cream's three albums is something that will be studied by music lovers until the end of time, especially the songs on this album. Dude, seriously, how do you live just another ordinary day of your life, and out of nowhere write "Sunshine of Your Love"? How do you come up with such a powerful and hypnotizing guitar riff? That bass, so heavy for the standards of the time, those mind-blowing drums? It's all the result of a time when everything was in the name of music, and about creating something no one had heard before, but based on something everyone had heard. Of course, in the midst of all this acid trip, there was always the Blues. It was always about the Blues...

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Aug 06 2025

Everything I've heard from Kraftwerk so far has been a lot of fun. I can't help but wonder what it would have been like to listen to this in the 70s and genuinely feel like it was "the sound of the future," or even "the sound of space." And despite being so experimental and creative, late 70s Kraftwerk (which is all I've heard so far) sounds incredibly poppy, pleasant to the ears, and doesn't sound strange. All things considered, it's what Brian Wilson did with Pet Sounds a decade earlier, and the Beatles with Sgt. Peppers. Because after all, no matter how experimental and technological the sound is, if it doesn't move people, inside and out, it's useless. 5 stars.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 08 2025

This is maybe the forth album by Paul Simon to appear in here, so I just going to say it again. This man never released a single bad song.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Aug 09 2025

So this is what an aneurysm sounds like...

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Aug 11 2025

When the Disraeli Gears appeared in here a few days ago, I said on the review that masterpieces like these used to come out every regular day in the late 60's. Tringle by The Beau Brummels only confirms that. I'll be honest, the only thing I dind't liked in here was the vocals. Dind't catched me and dind't gave me the right vibe. But it's solid good music. 4 stars is enough.

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Aug 12 2025

I found out that Sonic Youth is just not for me. I do understand their music, and the reason that people might like, but doesn't have me going. Well, at least in the 2 or 3 albuns that I listened to. I think 3 stars is fair enough

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Aug 13 2025

It was a really fun New Wave album. It reminded me a lot of The Knack's debut, same vibe. 4 stars.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Aug 14 2025

A nice pop rock album from the 90's. Loved it.

xx by The xx
Aug 15 2025

why? why? why this is on the list?

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Aug 16 2025

Ah... the 50's... There's a feeling of nostalgia and glamour that music from that decade exales. Ray Charles was indeed a genius.

90 by 808 State
Aug 17 2025

I had a fall of expectations when I saw the genre and the year. I thought it was gonna be another weird tech-house eletronic music from late 80's and 90's. But for my surprise, it wasn't a complete bullshit. I caught myself jamming with my head with the music (tho I think it was a start of a stroke), so it have some value. But after all, this kinda music just don't make any sense to me. This should be hidden in some old DJ's pen-drive for him to play to some stoned heads in rave parties. 2 stars

Aug 18 2025

It's funny how everything today pointed in the direction of Country Music. I went to work today (even though it was Sunday), and Spotify's recommendations suggested "Amarillo By Morning." When I got home, a Sunday celebrity dance show had a country music theme. I opened YouTube just before opening the day's album, and the site recommended a Gabriel Iglesias stand-up comedy sketch where he talks about Country Music... Did I slept with Willie Nelson and not remember it? Well, anyway, great Country Music album. Never heard of Dwight Yoakam before, but he's good. I'm too lazy to say more about it. I worked on a Sunday for god sake.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 19 2025

There are some great songs here. The biggest problem is the length. Two-hour albums are enough entertainment for a whole week, not just one day. The experience gets tiring and painful from the middle to the end. But this album holds together by the strength of its songs. 4 stars is fair.

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Aug 22 2025

Not so exciting as I thought it would be... It's just regular, I guess. I mean, It's punk, right?.... so 3 stars.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Aug 23 2025

For the ones who claims knowing Deep Purple and only knows Smoke On The Water. For the ones that Machine Head is the Only masterpiece they released. For the ones who reads "DP," and thinks it's about some Double Penetration. Here's some Purple... In Rock!

Arise by Sepultura
Aug 24 2025

BRAZIL MENTIONED Always a pleasure seeing some band from motherland coming up here. I never expected that Sepultura would be in the list. Much less with this album. not a big fan of black metal, but they sound really good

Ctrl by SZA
Aug 25 2025

I'll make sure to access that when I'm in the mood for porn.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Aug 26 2025

There's something strangely comforting about these songs, and I can't quite put my finger on it... Sometimes it sounds soft, like a "morning sounds" you put on while having breakfast, and other times it sounds like the soundtrack to a thriller. It's not something I'd listen to every day, but it was a very interesting experience. 3 stars.

Aug 27 2025

The only interesting thing I have to say about this is that when "You're Come a Long Way Baby" appeared a few months ago, for some reason, since that day, every time I open the 1001albumsgenerator app on my phone in airplane mode, without internet access, the album page appears as if I had never listened to it. Which made me desperately want a T-shirt that says "I'm Number 1, so why try harder?". Thanks, little-chubby-guy! You're the coolest guy in the world! Other than that, it's still not my type of music and sounds even more repetitive than what I've listened to before. 2 stars

1989 by Taylor Swift
Aug 28 2025

Since there's nothing interesting about the songs, let me share a story. Taylor came to my city, Rio de Janeiro, a few years ago. The mayor shut down the city, lit up the Christ the Redeemer statue, and a bunch of people, in 50-degree celsius heat (122 °F), gathered at a soccer stadium to watch this bitter-whited-ass girl sing using playback. Anyway, a little bit of everything happened on the day of her show (at least one of them, I don't know how many there were): There was a blackout in the poor part of the city (remember, it was 50 degrees Celsius), a fan died of overheating and dehydration during the show... in short, this bitch's presence in Rio was something to forget.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Aug 29 2025

I'm definitely not a Bon Jovi fan, and I find everything they've done pretty boring, with the exception of two songs: "Wanted Dead or Alive" and "Livin' on a Prayer." And coincidentally, both songs are on this album. So, 3 stars.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Aug 30 2025

This is probably the first Bob Dylan album I ever heard. I remember back then, researching bands and artists, listening directly to the album that contained each of their most famous songs. In this case, it was "Like a Rolling Stone," and I thought, "Okay, let's see what this is all about." My first impression was... "Who is this man who sings like he's recently had a stroke?" It sounded so strange. I spent years not appreciating Dylan's great albums because of this initial strangeness. I believe this happened to a lot of people. I'm glad it's over, because this album, and everything Dylan released between 1963 and 1976, is pure gold! 5 stars.

Blood, Sweat & Tears by Blood, Sweat & Tears
Aug 31 2025

That's an extremelly high quality music. I may not feel like listening to it casually everyday, but there's no way that someday I'll manage to raise my finger and point any kind of flaw on this. Absolute 5 stars.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Sep 01 2025

"Why, why, why is this on the list?" If I add a few chords to my last line, I'll make a better song than this entire album. Every time I listen to albums like this, I secure another piece of my spot in heaven, because this can only be a damned punishment.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Sep 02 2025

I've never been a big Rolling Stones listener. Not that I don't like it, and certainly not that I don't recognize how great these guys are... it's just that I've always preferred listening to something else. But when Sticky Fingers came to me this morning, I thought, "Damn, they've always been a part of my listening routine"... forever! Ever since I discovered rock 'n' roll at 10 years old, and Satisfaction was a constant presence on my playlists, throughout my life, The Rolling Stones has been a band I've listened to at some point. Especially Sticky Fingers, which is my favorite. I was a kid growing up in the download era, and to this day I still have my copy of this album in 320 kbps, in case there's a power outage at home and I need to listen to something offline. 5 stars, obviously.

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Sep 03 2025

A great debut for a great band!

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Sep 04 2025

Leonard Cohen was one of the artists I discovered through this site. This must be his third album to appear here, but since the first, I've come to appreciate this man's work and talent. He's become one of those artists I never tire of listening to.

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 05 2025

Most of it was annoying. 2 stars

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
Sep 06 2025

I really like these "Punk era" albums, because they all sound the same and they're all really cool.

Sep 07 2025

Gold rap/hip hop music. In my opinion, rap music should never stopped sound like this. Anthrax feat caught me off guard, very good!

D by White Denim
Sep 08 2025

Cool! Back in 2011, I was 10, and that's the kind of thing that I wanted to hear more on the radio back then. We ain't talk about any masterpiece in here, but it sure has an excellent rock n' roll vibe. Loved it.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Sep 09 2025

I love this late-night vibe. It pairs perfectly with cold weather and a good wine.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Sep 10 2025

It sounds like everything else released at that time. It seems like all the artists of the time were in pure musical and creative effervescence. Listening to it almost 60 years later, with my ears completely "addicted" to the more distinctive and grandiose sounds that would emerge in the following decades, this album ends up sounding incredibly average, even when compared to its contemporary releases. But it's good music, undeniable.

All Directions by The Temptations
Sep 11 2025

The aliens will only start communicating with us the day we send a Temptations album into space.

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Sep 12 2025

Not for me mate. I just got zero interest in this type of music.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Sep 14 2025

I love the fact that everytime that I listen to some Zappa album, I ended up with a "???" sign in my head. It feels good and weird at the same time. It leaves you with questions, but no doubts at all. That's a reminder: music can be as much confusing as comfortable. Very good!

Black Metal by Venom
Sep 15 2025

I had a really harsh day at work today, and instead of relaxing in my couch, I'm in a moshpit with myself, giving punchs in the empty with my elbows. Thank you 1001albunsgenerator.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Sep 16 2025

Honestly, I don't see the point in this kind of music. Is it meant for sleeping? But it would make a good soundtrack for an indie game. 2 stars is fair.

Think of an artist that mixed up together all the good stuff that soul and R&B gave us in the 60s 70s and 80s in one unique style, with paying the due respect to the old folks that made history back then, and not reinventing the wheel or something like that, just doing some good old music in a fresh way... Before you can say "Bruno Mars", I say "You're nuts". 5 stars (I was gonna give it 4, but the cover of Who's loving you stoled me a whole star)

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Sep 18 2025

It took me over 24 hours to write this review because I simply didn't know what to write. Rubber Soul, like the entire discography of the Beatles and its members, is as common and frequent in my life as a glass of water. Writing a review of Rubber Soul would be like writing a detailed text about the appearance of my big toe. It's with me every day, there's nothing new to say about it, but still, I'm eternally grateful to have it in my life. That's all. 5 stars, of course...

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Sep 19 2025

3 hours, 14 minutes and 48 secs... It worthed every second! That's what I call Prime Music.

Sep 20 2025

I love how every second of this is designed to captivate you. It has a mesmerizing atmosphere that makes you immerse yourself (or even drown) in the waves of sound and the lyrics. Prime progressive rock! 5 stars.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Sep 21 2025

I've written a few reviews of instrumental albums before. I remain firm in my opinion that albums without vocals fail to communicate completely directly with the listener. Despite being fascinated by music and its artifice and minute details, I understand that music is something that arises from within a human being, and that the voice is the purest and most genuine instrument we possess to convey our feelings. But I'm not crazy enough to reduce this incredible work to a mere 70s porn soundtrack, as my inner self was tempted to do (broken sense of humor). This is incredible, and since I've made exceptions to my principles before with Miles Davis, this time will be no different. 5 stars.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Sep 22 2025

Wow! Great psychedelic rock album. I can hear some musical elements here that wouldn't be popular until 20 years later. 1968 was a truly magical year.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Sep 24 2025

wonder if Dinosaur Senior sounds better.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Sep 25 2025

It sounds like that sound we hear while we're drunk on tequila and ecstasy. I know this because the music doesn't stop. Even when the party's over, and you're struggling to survive a massive hangover. It keeps pounding in your head like tuts tuts tuts tuts tuts tuts tuts Bonus: Who had the incredible idea of ​​photographing an orgy and using it as the album cover?

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Sep 26 2025

This isn't an album you need to hear before you die. This is an album you need to hear or you'll die. Jokes aside, Al Green is one of those artists who has never released a bad song. I knew his work because once I saw someone mixing the lyrics of "It's a Long Way To The Top" by AC/DC, with the rhythm of "It Ain't No Fun To Me" from this album, and that never leaved my mind. Even the first line is the same: "Riding down the highway..." Absolut 5 stars.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Sep 27 2025

I'd never heard a Tina Turner album before... I don't know why. But now I can say that all this time I've spent without listening to her music hasn't exactly been a life well lived. 5 stars.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 28 2025

I'm sure Jon Lajoie listened to this album a lot before writing "Everyday Normal Guy 2." Slim Shady has exact the same vibe. A very good and fun hip hop album. 4 stars.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Sep 29 2025

French Sinatra

Sea Change by Beck
Sep 30 2025

He sings as if he's asleep and talking to someone in his dreams. The music around him is very good, great arrangements, beautifully played instruments... all he needed was to shut up. 3 stars.

Billion Dollar Babies by Alice Cooper
Oct 01 2025

In a regular weekend of the 70s, you could easily find albuns like this at the record store. No More Mr Nice Guy playing on the radio... yeah it must have been a hell of an era to live... at least musically speaking.

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Oct 02 2025

A chill folk/country album. That never will suit me bad. 4 stars.

Closer by Joy Division
Oct 03 2025

Here's a quick recipe for how I made this album a 5-star experience. 1 - Create a playlist and add the 9 songs from the album Closer, plus "Transmission" at the top of the playlist and "Love Will Tear Us Apart" at the end, for a total of 11 songs. 2 - Change the playlist name to "Songs to Hang Yourself With a Clothesline" 3 - Enjoy

Smash by The Offspring
Oct 04 2025

Cool. They sound like the band that I wanted to have in highschool.

Oct 07 2025

I got in touch with Pantera thanks to a Spotify playlist called "The Book of Nasty Riffs", and Walk was one of the first songs on it. Since then, I learned to enjoy early 90s metal. Still not much of a fan tho, but you gotta surrender to an album like this. Both Vulgar Display and Cowboys From Hell are trully Metal Masterpieces. 5 Stars.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Oct 08 2025

Unless you're about to indulge on an Aztec tribe's mating ritual, this album is worthless.

Electric by The Cult
Oct 09 2025

I'm not a big fan of The Cult. I've never really understood why they're so beloved, even though I really like some of their albums. I discovered this band through "She Sells Sanctuary" (featured on the GTA Vice City soundtrack), and from then on I started listening to their albums more deeply, and undeniably, they're all very good. On this album in particular, I loved the cover of "Born To Be Wild," but the entire structure of the album is very consistent and fun to listen to. 4 stars is fair.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Oct 10 2025

I lost almost 1 hour listen to this guy moaning at the mic...

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 11 2025

This is fucking weird. All the lyrics are just bizarre. Plus, this guy ruins any chance of any of these songs sounding good with his vocals... Whatever "I killed this guy and my dick got hard" concept he was trying to push here, it didn't work.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Oct 13 2025

It's been a while since I felt genuine pleasure listening to an album. Nothing like some good old-fashioned Ramones-style punk to bring me back to a good mood. 5 stars. For guys who call themselves the Undertones... they're definitely Ontone!

A Date With The Everly Brothers by The Everly Brothers
Oct 14 2025

I have the impression the Beatles listened to this a lot. A true harbinger of what guitar music would be like in the early '60s.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Oct 15 2025

That's a way to perfect reggae album. Recommended for anyone unfamiliar with the genre and looking to learn more. I'm not into weed, but for sure this is incredible music! 5 stars

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Oct 16 2025

That was faster than a rabbit... but good! Fast fast... but good damn.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Oct 17 2025

An Indian film soundtrack is the last thing I expected to hear today. It wasn't even on Spotify or YouTube... I had to "hunt for jellyfish" like I used to do before streaming, downloading the album from a suspicious website with a Windows 98 page layout. Anyway... honestly, the songs surprised me. I was expecting something extremely "ethnic," like that Michael Jackson Thriller parody called "Golimar." But I was caught off guard by the stereotype and overwhelmed by some good music. 4 stars.

Back to Mystery City by Hanoi Rocks
Oct 18 2025

One of the pioneers of the "makeup rock". It's actually pretty good. 4 stars.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Oct 19 2025

It's good music, but way too regular for me. 3 stars

All Mod Cons by The Jam
Oct 20 2025

Everything that The Jam did is an absolut 5 stars coming from me.

Oct 21 2025

It's definitely not Ice Cube's best work. The flow is good, but after 20 minutes, it starts to get boring. The lyrics are awful and haven't aged well. But it's still enjoyable as background music for a gym workout. I just need to forget that I understand English. 3 stars.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Oct 22 2025

Ah, some classic Elvis! Some try to say no, but the early 60's was a really good Elvis phase. In Elvis is Back, one thing you can notice, is that the audio is way more better than the previous ones. My favorite here is "Reconsider baby", a housebreak blues in the best meaning of the name. 5 stars of course.

Gold by Ryan Adams
Oct 23 2025

It tastes like a glass of water after having 15 rounds of beer. I just heard 90 minutes of a generic rock pop music collection. Totally forgetable. 2 stars.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Oct 24 2025

Is great as background music. Not something I think I'll be listening again. 3 stars

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 25 2025

As a non north american person, this is probably the most beautiful USA flag I've ever put my eyes on it. If we put this album on a capsule to mars, the aliens will show us a better way to land in there. 5 stars

Peter Gabriel by Peter Gabriel
Oct 27 2025

Peter Gabriel is one of the great discoveries I've made thanks to this site. It's a pleasure to hear from him once again. 5 stars.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Oct 28 2025

Total crap

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Oct 29 2025

It must not have been easy for Metallica to find their feet musically after Cliff Burton's death. The bass lines on this album are practically nonexistent. I still don't know why, whether it was intentional or just a sick joke in the form of bullying towards the newcomer Jason Newsted, I don't know. There's a masterpiece here... "One," and that's a fact. However, it's the only real hit on the album, and everyone knows that metal albums in general need hits to support the more "obscure" tracks that demand more attention... not that there are many truly interesting tracks here, but it's true nonetheless. The album, however, doesn't sound lazy, as the band would later sound in the 2000s. On the contrary, every track exudes the energy of a band trying its best to make up for the loss of the main creative leader, and in one of these attempts, with "One," they found the direction they should take for the next albums... and three years later, the Black Album comes, and everyone knows the story. 3 stars seems fair.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Oct 30 2025

It's a good country album, but please, give the lady some credits, would ya?

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Oct 31 2025

It definitely didn't appeal to me. It has some interesting post-grunge and punk elements, all wrapped in a thin layer of pop that holds it all together. But the album's sound, and that incredibly lazy vocal, bored me to death, to the point where I had to make a huge effort to keep my eyes open and not fall asleep from the middle of the album onwards. I think two stars are generous enough.

Gris Gris by Dr. John
Nov 01 2025

After the first: "YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YAAAAAAAA" the album had me. 4 stars.

Nov 02 2025

This was the first Johnny Cash album I ever heard. Largely because "Hurt" was incredibly popular, my 16-year-old self was curious about this album, and even back then, knowing it was the last work he released in his lifetime, the whole album sounds like a beautiful and sad epitaph. All the versions performed by Cash carry an extra emotional weight, highlighting Rick Rubin's exceptional work in production. 5 absolute stars.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Nov 04 2025

Music is a place where you can pick up a guitar, and expose your feelings in a song. In that way, the job here was pretty well done. Her voice is powerfull and beautiful at the same time, giving emotional credit to every single word she sings. No masterpieces here, just a really good amount of good songs. 4 stars.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Nov 05 2025

Not bad, not bad... she has some insane vocals, and I'm bold enough to say that the second disc is almost perfect. It's a good pop album. 4 stars.

Cut by The Slits
Nov 06 2025

This album sounds like a primal scream of horny ol' ladies from the 70's when they wanted to have coitus.

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Nov 07 2025

Why exactly this is on the list?

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Nov 08 2025

This is a mix of interesting ideas... but it lacked music.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 09 2025

EL&P live always quite be like: "Oh, look at us and how we manage to jack off our instruments using this massive ten ton synthesizer" But taking that apart, it's wonderful music. 4 stars.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
Nov 10 2025

If Meat Loaf were still alive, I would tell him that I have a better lyric for one of his songs: "- On a hot summer night... Would you be cleaning the shit outta my stable? - Yes... - I bet you say that to all the horses..."

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Nov 11 2025

Anything with George Clinton's name in it, is an automatic 5 stars.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 13 2025

The Quicy Jones trilogy are just perfect. There's no much to say about it. The Way You Make Me Feel videoclip must be the one that I watched most when I was a kid. I mean, which girl doesn't want a creepy guy dancing and singing round her while she's trying to get home, right? When Michael first got the lyrics for "Just Good Friends", he came to Stevie and said: "Men, I know that you're blind, but you gotta see this..." Anyway, following the line of the two previous albuns, this is an albuns full of hits, from begining to end. 5 stars of course.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Nov 14 2025

I discovered Karma Chameleon a few years ago when it played on the radio. I'm very curious about songs that immediately grab my attention, and I saved the name of this one and listened to it regularly over the last two years. But, criminally, I never stopped to listen to the whole album. It was worth the experience, it's really cool! 4 stars.

Close To You by Carpenters
Nov 15 2025

Her voice always brings a tear to my eye... an angel! In this album, I particularly like the Beatles covers and of course, We've Only Just Begun, a great classic! 5 stars.

Da Capo by Love
Nov 16 2025

Every time I listen to a Love album, I get the impression that I'm listening to a group of people having a blast. 4 stars.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Nov 17 2025

Hey Gringo! This guy named Jorge Ben is the best my country has to offer. Enjoy.

No Other by Gene Clark
Nov 18 2025

This is the kind of 70s stuff that I would listen to all day long. It's just too suitable to my ears. 5 stars.

Nov 19 2025

Despite having a good cover of Tainted Love, the whole album sounds very average to me. Nothing truly exciting. 3 stars.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
Nov 20 2025

They're really good. I had a great time listening to this. 4 stars.

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Nov 21 2025

Nothing exciting about this one. 2 stars

The Slider by T. Rex
Nov 22 2025

T. Rex never let me down. They got the pepper sauce of being the only great band to perform glam rock. The other ones are shite.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 23 2025

The perfect duo doing a perfect album. This is S&G prime, all of the songs could be country and folk hits, but especially Bridge Over Troubled Water and Baby Driver are timeless. Baby Driver in fact it's one of the best rockabilly/folked songs of all time. It's hard to find some acoustic guitar sounding so good, and the classic dynamic between the two voices are the cherry on top of it. 5 stars of course.

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
Nov 24 2025

Simple funk and soul samples and no overproducing. That's, ladies and gentleman, it's some real dope rap. Not perfect, but really good.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Nov 25 2025

That was the first album from this 1001 days run that I finally could listen to in FLAC. I could hear all of the details of how shit this album are, great goodness...

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Nov 26 2025

I have a feeling that the Yardbirds are too much underrated. People talk about the famous guitarrist that came outta of there, but they don't talk much about how good and ahead of they're time they really were. That's a great album.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Nov 27 2025

This album gave me the feeling that it was going to be spectacular at first... but as time went on, I don't know, it seems that from the middle of the album onwards it lost its "spice," something that was making it incredible, becoming just good. As if something sweet had become watered down. I'll give it 3 stars.

Microshift by Hookworms
Nov 28 2025

That was a good experience. A sign that people still can do good music.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Nov 29 2025

This was way better than that "Loveless" that I listened too a few months ago. Way more polished, but still very boring at some points. The best songs in it it's when the lady (or a men with a real feminine voice) sings, making a perfect contrast with the heavy and distorced sound. The song that I liked most was "new you", and it shows exactly what I say. 3 stars.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Nov 30 2025

Hell yeah! I listened to ZZ Top a little bit too late in life. I used to listen to La Grange, love it, and that's it. But then I heard for the first time the first chords from Sharp Dressed Man, playing on the radio some ramdom day, and boy... that 80's atmosphere hitting you like a ton of lead it's something mind blowing. And then I listened to Gimme All Your Lovin on the GTA V radio station (proovin once more that GTA franchising mold the most of my music taste) and then I was the one giving all of my love to this band. I love all of the albuns, 5 stars to any of them.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Dec 01 2025

Like Stevie Wonder says "The King Of All, Sir Duke". He used to play, in fact, the finest jazz that everyone ever heard. Talking about the album itself, I'm not much of a fan of instrumental music, due my belief that vocals are a vital part of the conection that music does with people, and most of the songs are instrumentals in here. Besides, I really don't understand the charm behind of all those announcements that Duke does between the songs. I mean, I wasn't there, I don't care, just play the goddanm music man! Hahaha, anyway, those are the flaws I'm pointing, and despite that, it's high quality music.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Dec 03 2025

This is just a female version of her brother's album "Bad," but without the hits.

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 04 2025

This album appeared for me today, December 3rd, the same day Spotify delivers its annual retrospective. Guess what? It was all Neil Young. Over 7,000 minutes just listening to the Canadian Old Man. And all thanks to this website that rekindled my desire to discover new artists and explore the discographies of artists I already know more deeply. No kidding. My Top 5, both albums and songs, were all by Neil Young. And I'm almost certain that this was only possible thanks to the day 1001albunsgenerator recommended "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere" to me at the beginning of this year, making me listen to Neil Young every day since 2025 began. Thank you very much.

Dec 05 2025

I really not into 2000's rap, but I'm convinced that Eminem is the best that camed out at the time. His raspy voice adds so much to the songs, it gives a constant sensation of hearing someone really angry. I like it.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Dec 06 2025

That's a good soundtrack for a 50's movie, but as an album itself... nah so much.

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Dec 08 2025

That's one of the best live performances ever recorded

Dec 09 2025

Rap/hip hop is born from a mix of beats and samples created by other artists. This alone has never been enough to make this genre good music. The difference lies precisely in the authenticity and personal depth displayed in the lyrics, and in this aspect, which carries the entire genre on its shoulders, there has been no one more authentic and original than Tupac Shakur, undoubtedly the greatest rapper of all time.

Scum by Napalm Death
Dec 10 2025

You suffer. I suffer. We suffer. But why? Because this album is fucking awful! It took me longer to write this review than it took those guys to write all the songs. But I have to put up with it, because my dog ​​is a huge fan of this album. He barked the lyrics all afternoon today.

Bummed by Happy Mondays
Dec 13 2025

Happy Mondays is one of the most underrated bands that great britain ever made. Another great band from Manchester. So glad to be having this here.

Bossanova by Pixies
Dec 14 2025

It always amazes me how weirdly good they sound.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Dec 15 2025

I made my lunch today and forgot to put salt on all the food. Even so, it tasted better than this album. A real Chayote Popsicle.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Dec 16 2025

Anything that Morrissey put his voice in, is 5 stars to me.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Dec 17 2025

Sinatra's voice can transport you to a time you never even lived through, like a photographic memory of the 1950s, captured in resin grooves. All the songs evoke the vibe of a past New York on an ordinary night, accompanied by good wine and beautiful ladies.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Dec 18 2025

I've listened to some Miles Davis albuns before, and they always amazes me for the same reasons. Very enjoyable to listen to

Dec 19 2025

This album sounds like gym background music. The kind of music that makes me use headphones to work out.

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Dec 20 2025

I'm probably too suspicious to say something, since I'm a huge Beach Boys fan... but I think this is the best solo album ever released by a Beach Boy.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Dec 21 2025

This sounds like a modern progressive rock. Kinda good.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Dec 22 2025

Here's a collaboration between artists that I never imagined I'd see. Honestly, I can barely see any flaws in this album; it's practically perfect.

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Dec 24 2025

I liked this more than I was expecting. What an era for creative albuns like this!

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Dec 25 2025

Every Megadeath album gives me the sensations of being a huge masterpiece ruined by Mustaine's voice. But this one is really good tho.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Dec 27 2025

I drank coffee without sugar for the first time today cause the doc said I need to control my blood sugar levels... it tasted better than this shit...

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Dec 28 2025

Her voice is beautiful, but the album's pacing is a little too slow, almost boring.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Dec 29 2025

If you reading this review before listen to the album, don't worry, you can die before it.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Dec 30 2025

This album has a very contemplative sound, something you have to stop, listen to, and feel everything that's happening. It has a sonic emptiness (I believe intentional) which is exactly the space the listener needs to be in. It's not my type of music, but what fascinated me most was seeing this sonic aesthetic, so characteristic of the 60s and 70s, mixed with the radio-friendly production characteristic of the 2000s, you know, that sonic glitter that the songs of the 2000s had when they played on the radio... I'm giving it 4 stars. My favorite song: Cologne Cerrone Houdini

Night Life by Ray Price
Dec 31 2025

It had been a long time since I'd had so much fun with an album from this site. A true country music album, a genre I've only recently learned to love, and I'm discovering more and more legends of the genre. Thank you 1001albunsgenerator for yet another gem.

Disintegration by The Cure
Jan 01 2026

I woke up on a terrible hair day. That explains why The Cure showed up here. Lovesong is probably the best Goth Rock song of all time.

Jan 02 2026

BRAZIL MENTIONED... but in a bad way because it's São Paulo, land of polluted air and bad music. There are better things in our country than this compilation of loops to listen to in the background of some boring disco club.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jan 03 2026

The first gem of 2026. It possesses unparalleled artistic depth. I feel like I'm listening to something completely new, even though the album is over 5 decades old.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Jan 04 2026

It far exceeded my expectations when I pressed play. The only downside is the number of "unnecessary" songs included. An hour and a half ends up becoming a bit tiring. But apart from that, a good album.

In Utero by Nirvana
Jan 05 2026

Everything Nirvana does is automatically a 5-star rating. This is one of the rawest albums ever brought to the mainstream and it always makes me wonder what paths the band would have taken if Kurt hadn't died.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jan 06 2026

That was pleasant. But I can't see why is on the list. Sounds a bit too regular, nothing too impressive. 3 stars.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Jan 07 2026

I don't remember last time I listened to a mono album. If I eventually pop one of my ear drums, I'll be happy to listen to this over and over. 4 stars.

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 08 2026

This sounds like the soundtrack to Lord of the Rings.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
Jan 09 2026

I liked how this album tries to take you out of your comfort zone while you listen to it; no two songs are the same. That's not Damon Albarn singing, is it? God, I hate that guy...

OK by Talvin Singh
Jan 10 2026

At some points of this album, you can actually hear some indian guy getting high.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jan 11 2026

Never was a big fan of Jethro Tull, but this album and Thick as a Brick are gold. 4 stars.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jan 12 2026

Silence in the studio, please! Isaac is making Music 2.0 When soul music became psychedelic, the genre reached its peak. The guitar riff in Walk On By is one of the most comfortably intoxicating things ever made (great choice of sampling Compton's Most Wanted for Hood Took Me Under). 5 stars

Jan 13 2026

This isn't an album. It's a hits compilation. This album is a top 10 album of all time.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 14 2026

I've been listening to Metallica for over a decade, and I've always been reluctant to listen to this album live, but I confess that hearing some of these songs, played with the support of an orchestra, was a very interesting experience. 4 stars.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jan 15 2026

Every time I hear this guy's voice, I have the wish to go through an accelerated decay. All of the songs sound like something's dead. But it's not that bad, good music. 3 stars.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jan 17 2026

1001 albuns you must die before you hear

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Jan 19 2026

The cover is way cooler than the album, but it's ok.

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Jan 20 2026

Everything that Leonard Cohen did makes me feel strangely uncomfortable, but in a good way. Meanwhile, he can go pop, he can sing a french ballad, with lyrics without a steady meaning, but still, all perfect, with all the right dots in all the right places. 5 stars.

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jan 21 2026

If listening to Spanish reggae sung by a French guy isn't stepping out of your comfort zone, I don't know what is anymore.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jan 22 2026

This is must be the feeling of getting a score with an Irish girl after getting outta of a bar at 16 in the morning, I don't know.

Signing Off by UB40
Jan 23 2026

The whole album is based on the same reggae beat. Too easy listening, too predictable... too boring. It's reggae for someone who doesn't like reggae. It's so weak, that it can turn the breeze of a joint into a smelly smoke of a cigarette.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Jan 24 2026

I never thought I'd find the original version of "Paulinha" here today. BRAZIL MENTIONED! viva Calcinha Preta!

Jan 25 2026

This is the best David Bowie's cover band ever.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jan 26 2026

how do you rate an album of a gender you're not familiar enough to rate? I guess that only based on what it felt like when I heard... so not much. 2 stars.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jan 27 2026

If Paul McCartney had a dreampop band, it would sound like this.

Planet Rock: The Album by Afrika Bambaataa
Jan 29 2026

I'm gonna play this on my birthday this year hahaha. Real 80's house dancing music. I loved it.

Jan 31 2026

Great! After more than 50 years, this still remains as one of the greatest albuns of all time. There's no much else to say. 5 stars

Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Feb 01 2026

A good band that hired the local beggar of the neighborhood to do the vocals.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Feb 02 2026

This album contains some of Morrissey's worst lyrics... but still, 5 stars. That's just how fanboys are.

The White Room by The KLF
Feb 03 2026

Background music to play at the gym for people that don't like to workout.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Feb 04 2026

This album already sparked a very heated discussion with a former lover of mine who was a dancer, a few years ago. There are some people who really think that Michael Jackson is only about dances and choreography, and completely ignore the (almost) perfect discography of this incredible artist. And this is certainly (although not my favorite) the best album of his solo career. Michael + Quincy = 5 Stars without even blinking.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Feb 05 2026

When I learned that music was meant to be listened to through entire albums, this was one of the first albums I listened to from beginning to end... the feeling is still the same, it never gets old. 5 stars.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Feb 06 2026

Anthrax, of the Big Four bands, has the cleanest sound. They manage to sound loud, noisy, and dirty, but you can also hear all the instruments in just the right amounts. It doesn't even sound like a "thrash" metal band...

Raw Power by The Stooges
Feb 07 2026

Anything from The Stooges is automatically 5 stars.

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 08 2026

I feel like I'm 16 again... this album acts as a fountain of youth for me. It never gets old. When I still had a "My Favorite Albums" list, back when I didn't listen to 10 albums a day (on a typical day), The Cars was always in the top 20, and I think if I updated that list today... it would probably still be there. The Cars has that youthful energy that makes anyone feel like a rebellious teenager, and it has the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" seal of quality. 5 stars.

High Violet by The National
Feb 09 2026

The last decades has some hidden gems like this. Good album.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Feb 10 2026

I loved how clean and smooth this sounded, even so for an album from 1979. It's not my kind of music, but I can imagine myself putting a 12 hours version of this to play and listening to it all day long without getting tired... 5 stars of course.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Feb 11 2026

Not my first time listening to Dusty. But now, listening to this album, and its perfect soul music presented, it all makes me wonder... is this bitch really british?

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 12 2026

The only crime this guy made, was to have Elvis on his name... despite that, music's good. Nice one, backup Elvis! :)

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Feb 13 2026

I discovered the Allman Brothers Band recently, and I thought they were just a great Southern Rock band. And now I come here and see a live album that's basically a compilation of Blues? I'm not complaining. This was fucking awesome! 5 stars.

Feb 14 2026

I like it. Sounds like every band in the 2000's and 2010's, but it's good.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Feb 15 2026

The Rolling Stones are one of those bands I didn't really like when I was a kid. It was a great gift that the maturity of my ears brought me over time, and of course, everything they released between 1968 and 1981 is absolutely 5 stars.

Feb 16 2026

I wonder why good albuns like this went under my radar on the last decade... very good, 4 stars.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
Feb 17 2026

Speaking about progressive rock If Pink Floyd is like Pelé, King Crimson is like Maradona.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Feb 18 2026

This album annoyed me because it's so good. Not annoyed with the album itself, but with the fact that this and several other jazz albums from the 50s sound like they were recorded just the other day. I love Elvis, Chuck, Little Richard, but the albums from the beginning of the Rock and Roll era (which are much more famous and popular) had recordings that have aged very poorly, in terms of production. But Brilliant Corners, along with other spectacular jazz albums from that time, ages like a fine wine...

Feb 19 2026

Since I moved to the countryside, I've been increasingly immersed in country music, discovering a whole new world I only knew superficially. Bakersfield Country? Never heard of it. Give me more! I'm loving every second of it. 5 stars.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 20 2026

I listen to this while I was playing GTA San Andreas, so I'll be giving a high rate.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Feb 21 2026

Grace Slick it's Jefferson Airplane's soul & fire. If she had assumed the lead vocals in all of the songs, this album would be a lot more better. But still... a classical. 5 stars.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 22 2026

Most if it it's background music

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Feb 25 2026

You can feel imediatly the first drops of rain falling on a cloudy day as soon these guitars starts to play. The 80s The Cure is 5 stars, always.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
Feb 26 2026

This album has enormous wasted potential thanks to its poor production. But it does have some good songs. 3 stars.

Dog Man Star by Suede
Feb 27 2026

I'm very familiar with the album Coming Up, but never really listen to the other albuns... worth the wait.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 01 2026

This album really hits you deep in the soul. Reading the lyrics and carefully analyzing the soundscapes of the songs, you encounter an artist in the midst of an internal meltdown. I came to this conclusion even before reading about Skip. I liked it, 4 stars.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Mar 02 2026

Songs: Bongo Lyrics: Bongo Drummer: Bongo Lead Vocalist: Bongo Guitars: Bongo "What?" - B O N G O!

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 03 2026

This is the only Nu Metal band to resist the test of time. Even when puberty was over, the band remained good. 4 stars

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Mar 04 2026

As a Latino, I can attest that this is our mating ritual. 5 stars.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Mar 05 2026

This was an incredible journey. The immersion factor here is impeccable, and the songs are flawless and perfectly connected, capturing your attention from beginning to end. 5 stars

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Mar 06 2026

That was awful. Background music.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Mar 10 2026

Not my kind of music, but how not to fall in love with this voice? 4 stars.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Mar 11 2026

Most of this is meaningless music to me. I mean, Neil Young is probably turning in his grave with this version of "Only Love Can Break Your Heart"... and he's not even dead yet.

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 12 2026

Classical Punk Rock. The Clash is indeed one of the top 3 bands of the genre.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
Mar 13 2026

Good, but i could use a bit more taste. Unsalty.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Mar 14 2026

This is the album you put on when you're 16 and see your high school crush kissing another guy... too specific? Anyway, this is Metallica at their peak, 5 stars!

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Mar 15 2026

I always had the feeling that Maggot Brain (the song) was something otherworldly. Although the rest of the album being a great soul album, Maggot Brain has a life of its own, and I dare say it's one of the rawest and most realistic sound registers of the human soul... simply incredible. 5 stars.

Pink Flag by Wire
Mar 16 2026

I liked the fact that they sounded like a perfect sonic transition between Punk and Post-Punk, like a mix of Sex Pistols and Joy Division (with all due respect to the differences). Other than that, there's not much to see here. 3 stars.

Mar 17 2026

It seems they made a good R&B/Soul album, but decided to release only the discarded and poorly made songs.

Southern Rock Opera by Drive-By Truckers
Mar 18 2026

You know that cool, drunk uncle of yours who plays guitar? Well, that's probably his high school band.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Mar 20 2026

I'm gonna use this review box to write a shoutout for Rick Rubin. In the same year that he produced Slayer... he did Beastie Boys. Guess that might be to crazy to say but, Rubin is like Tarantino for the music. Everything he touched turned to gold. And when we able to put Beastie Boys, Slayer and Johnny Cash on the same phrase, you know the guy isn't sleeping on his shift... or he is, I don't know. About the album: Zeppelin with flow rhymes? Gimmesomathat! 5 stars.

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Mar 21 2026

It sounds like a mix of White Stripes and Jet, with a very '90s vibe. Cool. 4 stars.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Mar 22 2026

It's always a pleasure to hear something from Randy Newman. One of the best find-outs I made thanks to this site. 5 stars.

Mar 23 2026

Wow... it had been many years since I'd listened to Close To The Edge. I have a particular memory of my first and only experience with a joint... it was while listening to this album. Maybe that's why all the nuances of the sound are still encrypted in my memory; I can literally hear this album in my head note by note. Don't do drugs, people, but this album is still fantastic, even more than 50 years later.

Slayed? by Slade
Mar 24 2026

This smells so much like the '70s, I can even smell someone who forgot to use deodorant... wait, that's me.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Mar 25 2026

This gives off a Kate Bush vibe... but in a weird way.

One World by John Martyn
Mar 26 2026

Good album. It's hard to find a bad album from the 70s.

Little Earthquakes by Tori Amos
Mar 27 2026

Well... I had a nice hour of sleep, guess that's worth something...

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Mar 28 2026

BRAZIL MENTIONED!! Milton is a national treasure. The best this country has to offer. I once heard someone say that "if God had a voice, it would be like Milton Nascimento's."

The Man Who by Travis
Mar 29 2026

The advantage of having English as a second language is that when I listen to music, I can completely forget that I know how to speak English and start interpreting only the feelings... and this album sounds like depression.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Mar 30 2026

This album smells like cheap gin... I love cheap gin.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Mar 31 2026

Anything released by The Kinks is 5 stars.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
Apr 01 2026

After more than 700 consecutive days, I can now say with absolute certainty that Neil Young was the greatest discovery I made thanks to this site. This must be the fifth or sixth album of his to appear here, but ever since I listened to Everybody Knows from 1969, I've been truly hooked on Neil's work (I spent all of 2025 listening to it, and continuing into 2026 as well), and Tonight's The Night was no different. It's an incredibly great work spanning six decades... and counting! The only thing I can say for sure so far is that anything released by Neil between 1966-1992 is 5 stars (including his work with Buffalo, CSNY), and I won't say more about the following years because I haven't listen to them yet. So far, I've only heard true masterpieces. Thank you very much, 1001albunsgenerator. At the peak of my life, at almost 25 years old, I have just discovered, perhaps, the last artist who will shape my character, as a human being. And for me, a music lover, that is worth more than anything in this world.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Apr 02 2026

I'm in my country days. You can throw any shit that sounds like country at me ----> 5 stars. Jokes aside, this is fine music.

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Apr 03 2026

It had everything to be a hell of an album about politics and society. But it turned out to be a politics and society album about hell.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Apr 04 2026

Every time I listen to Led Zeppelin II, I think the same thing: Led Zeppelin is pornographic material, dopamine in musical form. All the sonic aspects, from Bonham's visceral drumming, JPJ's bass, and especially Page's guitars, are highly addictive... and on top of that, there's a hot blonde moaning on vocals. 5 stars, of course.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 05 2026

Try to find a single bad Dolly song... Just one... and fail.

Apr 06 2026

Nice. I like those 2000s indie bands. They sound a bit like Cage The Elefant.

Calenture by The Triffids
Apr 07 2026

It didn't hit very hard, but it's good quality music.

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Apr 08 2026

It was good at first, but then they started recording noises. 2 stars

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Apr 10 2026

Good mix of rock and rap... but I'm already fed up with it thanks to the Beastie Boys, so...

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Apr 11 2026

To me this is just an extended version of Love You To by the Beatles. But it is good music. I rather listen to it live, it doesn't catch you on an album version.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Apr 12 2026

Always a pleasure to listen to The Byrds. One thing I didn't know was that "I Feel A Whole Lot Better," which I originally heard sung by Tom Petty on the album Full Moon Fever (1989), was actually a Byrds song... very cool discovery. Anyway, 5 stars.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 13 2026

It was fun. Like listening to a mix of Kate Bush, Japanese City Pop, and Tame Impala. 4 stars

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Apr 14 2026

Cool! I'd never heard anything from Paul outside of The Jam... great, another discography to explore. 4 stars

Apr 15 2026

Just a few days ago I received a Mudhoney album, and in the review I said "Noises with smell of cocaine." Well, it's the same here, but this time they drank a lot before recording.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Apr 16 2026

No flaws here... but I can't help but think that the recorded version doesn't even come close to capturing half of what it would be like to be in the intimate setting of that show. Albums always transport the music through time, but some simply don't give you that immersion. 3 stars

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Apr 17 2026

There's something about the songs that sounds rigid, like attending mass, but without any choreographed prayers, nor being led by a priest. A hippie mass performed by a woman in a suit. It has class, but at the same time it has no class at all.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Apr 18 2026

Waylon Jennings? Yes, gimme some. 5 stars.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Apr 20 2026

Choose your english level: 1 - Easy 2 - Medium 3 - Hard 4 - Expert 5 - Legend 6 - Liam Gallagher ... 347 - Cocteau Twins

Blur by Blur
Apr 21 2026

As an Oasis fan, Blur is my guilty pleasure hahaha Seriously, nothing they did beats Parklife (1994), but that's a great album. Song 2 is an intencional awful song. When you listen to it knowing that, it makes perfect sense. But for me, the only problem is that this track should be the last one in the album, cause it may cause a little distraction on the sight of the great songs this album has. But... it's just a small detail. That being said, let's get back to the character: Oasis: so mad fer it. Blur's shite life.

Apr 22 2026

Amazing. I've been discovering many country artists this year. Another incredible one! 5 stars

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Apr 23 2026

A real nice punk rock album. I definetelly need to put that band on my radar.

Dare! by The Human League
Apr 24 2026

The first thing the first track on this album made me think about was: Does "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" have any relation to "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)"? It seems like one is "answering" the other. But only at first glance. I always insist that all electronic music should have followed the Synth Pop style of the early 80s forever. This, for me, is the peak. From then on, it's all downhill.

Snivilisation by Orbital
Apr 25 2026

A huge collection of noises and beebs and bops

Apocalypse Dudes by Turbonegro
Apr 26 2026

The guitars on this album are amazing! I can't remember the last time I headbanged so hard listening to a rock album. They sound like Motorhead meets Oasis. I loved it!

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 27 2026

Classical gangsta rap. 5 stars without a blink.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Apr 28 2026

Very well refined. Sounds great for an album from the late 60s.

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Apr 29 2026

This album smells like some really cheap deodorant that was completely emptied to mask the odor of someone who hasn't showered in days. It sounds like KISS, but without any concern for sounding polished. It's fun. You can put it on your car stereo and drift away to the sound of it. But it also doesn't have anything special to justify being on this list. Just another run-of-the-mill album from a 70s band, sounding very much like the others.

Headquarters by The Monkees
May 01 2026

This album is perfect for discovering the band after hearing I'm A Believer for the first time.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
May 03 2026

I'm known among my friends as a guy who listens to all kinds of music, from all genres and all eras. Then a friend of mine came up to me and said, "You should listen to this. It's totally your style!" And it was this album... Today I see that episode as an insult.

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
May 04 2026

In my opinion, "Movin' On Up" is one of the best songs of the 90s, and the whole album could have followed the same vibe. But some of Screamadelica's songs are just filler, very boring. "Damaged" is also a very cool song. 3 stars

May 05 2026

During that period, R.E.M. could have recorded an album of nothing but farts, and it would still have looked like the Sistine Chapel. Incredible!

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 06 2026

Not my first time listening to Billy Joel, but this album convinced me I need to listen to more. 4 stars

2112 by Rush
May 07 2026

Oh, a classic! This was the first Rush album I ever heard. There was a period in my adolescence when I discovered Pink Floyd and Progressive Rock, and I thought, "Ah, okay, maybe there's nothing better than this, but let me check my options." Then I found bands like Yes, Genesis, King Crimson... and of course, Rush. I perfectly remember the feeling I had when I heard Neil Peart's drums for the first time. 2112 was, in fact, the first album in English (my native language is Portuguese) where I actually stopped to read the lyrics, and it was FANTASTIC! Anyway, I'm sounding like a 16-year-old teenager again, hahaha. 5 stars.

Third/Sister Lovers by Big Star
May 08 2026

It sounded very good! If it was a little bit more polished, I would say that it's a sound ahead of its time. But it's good

May 09 2026

This is very elegant! So classy! The kind of voice that wears a ball gown all by itself! So exuberant that if you don't pay close attention, you won't notice the excellent arrangements that build all the songs. I'd be crazy if I didn't give it 5 stars.

May 10 2026

Call me crazy, but only Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix were doing something like that in the late 60's... amazing!

May 11 2026

They sound like what Green Day would in the future. A sound ahead of its time. So 90s, but still de 80s. 4 stars.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
May 12 2026

A few months ago, I became a big fan of Time Of A Season after hearing it on the radio. So I was really excited to listen to this album for the first time today. But it sounds very generic for albums from the 60s. It's good, but I don't see why it's on this list. 3 stars.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
May 13 2026

Even more than half a century later, Janis's voice sounds like Living Fire! It Burns! Piece Of My Heart is still one of the great rock and roll songs. 5 stars

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
May 14 2026

I guess that was the first time I ever heard about "desert blues"... very interesting. 4 stars, I need more

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
May 15 2026

That must be at least top 3 best new wave albuns of all time without a doubt

Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 16 2026

Oh, the fake Elvis again. I like Costello's voice because it perfectly defines what a "young voice" is. His voice sounds rebellious, and his songs always sound fresh, as if they were released yesterday. Can you say that every Elvis has a unique voice? I don't know... 4 stars

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
May 17 2026

I recognized Two Tribes from the GTA Vice City soundtrack. I'd never heard this band before. It was a good experience. I also liked their cover of "Born To Run". 4 stars

En-Tact by The Shamen
May 18 2026

When we say that something is average, we mean that it is consistent. And this album is consistently bad, that is, it's average. 2 stars.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 19 2026

Of all the albums from Bowie's golden era, I always thought this was the weakest... but it's still 5 stars, because we're talking about fucking Bowie.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
May 20 2026

It sounds very typical for the 90s, but it's really good.

Lost Souls by Doves
May 21 2026

Awesome! Sounds like everything I love about the 90s. 4 stars

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
May 22 2026

It sounds psychedelic and strange at the same time. But not in a good way.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
May 23 2026

Although I don't like this band or this album, and I don't like to admit it, this album is one of the best rock albums of the 2000s. "Use Somebody" is one of the most easily recognizable songs from that era, even for those who aren't music fans. 5 stars

Make Yourself by Incubus
May 25 2026

Cool! Always heard about that band but it's the first time I'm actually listening to. I liked it.

May 26 2026

This is one of my favorite country albums. Marty Robbins is one of those artists who doesn't follow a straight musical path. He didn't make 20 albums about the Wild West. And that's what makes him one of the best country artists in history. 5 stars

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
May 27 2026

It sounds like any pop song from the 80s. A weaker version of something Michael Jackson did. Some of the songs even sound like porn soundtracks, the kind you only find on VHS. It's not bad, but there's no reason for it to be on this list. 3 stars

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
May 28 2026

It's not the first time I've listened to Nick Drake. I always get the feeling that the sound is caressing my head and asking me to calm down, like a baby. It's so calm, it sounds like I've just sat down after spending a whole week on my feet.

Being There by Wilco
May 29 2026

I don't know why Wikipedia classified this album as country-rock. They sound a lot like the Stones, this is rock n roll. A very good rock n roll album. 4 stars.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 30 2026

Random noises for stoned people. In my opinion, that's not music.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
May 31 2026

Are you serious? After 760+ consecutive days in this challenge, I thought the collections of weird noises were finally over. But apparently not...

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 01 2026

When someone listens to The Smiths for the first time these days, the hits come first. Then, the self-titled 1984 album or The Queen Is Dead, as these are the albums that contain the band's biggest hits. Let's suppose that now, this new fan is in love and obsessed with the band. What comes next? Then, this fan comes across an album called Meat is Murder and thinks: "Are they vegan? What the hell is that?" Initially, it's a more difficult album to digest than the previous ones. Of course, the new fan is still ecstatic about the hits. But then he falls in love with the band again, but this time with the more intimate details. Johnny Marr's guitars, the poetry and sarcasm of Morrissey's beautiful voice, the perfect rhythmic foundation laid by Andy and Mike... and then this fan begins to understand and feel songs like That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore, Nowhere Fast, Well I Wonder, Barbarism Begins At Home... all of them. From then on, there's no turning back. That's exactly what happened to me. I am that fan. I listen to the entire Smiths discography at least 2-3 times a month, and I always fall in love again every time.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Jun 02 2026

How the hell had I never heard of these guys before? They sound dirtier than the Stones and the Kinks combined! I'm familiar with some of the songs through other artists, but the versions contained here are impressively visceral for the mid-60s. 5 stars, no discussion.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Jun 03 2026

I had a driving theory instructor who once saw me wearing a Pink Floyd shirt and asked, "Have you heard of Emerson, Lake and Palmer?" Nowadays, every time I listen to the band, I feel like failing another driving test. But the band is really good.

New Forms by Roni Size
Jun 04 2026

I went to a swingers club once and I can say from personal experience that it's the only place in the world where that kind of music is acceptable, because you'll be too busy fucking strangers to care how bad the music is.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Jun 05 2026

BRAZIL MENTIONED I confess I had never listen to anything from the daughter of the legendary João Gilberto, so I was taken by surprise. I read someone's comment saying "is this progressive samba?" and I simply couldn't find a better term. 5 stars.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jun 06 2026

Too bright to be post punk, too dark to be new wave... I don't know how to feel about this one but it wasn't bad

Jun 07 2026

No matter what anyone says, this was the only true "Psychedelic Rock" album ever made. The rest are just sketches of it, based on genres like blues and classical music. Pink Floyd is probably my favorite band (at least in the top 3), but obviously there are two different bands there: a band with Syd, and a band with Gilmour. The Gilmour/Waters phase in the 70s is what makes Floyd one of my favorite bands, and one of the most famous and popular of all time. But I always wonder what it would have been like if Syd had continued. Piper Gates was just the beginning, and what a beginning. I keep imagining what the creative rivalry between Syd and Waters would have been like, with the fantastic creative contributions of the other three. As I've mentioned in other Pink Floyd reviews before, all the band members had a fantastic and uncopyable influence on the songs, and I dare say that if Syd hadn't left, they would have been as influential as the Beatles were in the previous decade. But that's just my imagination. I'm biased, considering how big of a fan I am of the band. But it's disheartening that we only have the first two albums to imagine what things would have been like... anyway, 5 stars.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jun 08 2026

I'm sorry, but I might never understand electronic music. To me, it's not even music.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Jun 09 2026

Sounds like the things that I put to sleep on spotify.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 10 2026

This is definitely not the Beach Boys' best work. Far from it, actually. To be honest, I never quite understood how their quality dropped so much in the early 70s, technically speaking. But the songs still maintain a good standard of quality in terms of composition. I'd give it 4 stars.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Jun 11 2026

It earned an extra star just for the lovely nap it gave me. 2 stars

Tago Mago by Can
Jun 13 2026

This album has a psychedelic vibe that I confess I didn't quite understand. It's not bad, but I can't feel it's right... I'll give it 3 stars.

Life's Too Good by The Sugarcubes
Jun 14 2026

Awesome! Sounds like a mix of Siouxsie and the Banshees and the B-52s. 4 stars

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Jun 15 2026

Every time I listen to Nick Cave I feel like I'm entering another planet. A dark place full of strange creatures that make you feel uncomfortable. That would be excellent as a movie soundtrack. As an album... not so much. 3 stars.

Quiet Life by Japan
Jun 16 2026

Very good. The sound was well-polished for its time. 4 stars.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
Jun 18 2026

Okay, today we have a legendary singer. What impressed me most was her voice: Impeccable! We're talking about an artist who has been active since the 60s, and this album is from 2000... more than 30 years since her debut, but still, a marvelous voice. Good songs, good instruments... how could I not give it 5 stars?

Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 19 2026

When I think of the Bee Gees, the first thing that comes to mind is Barry Gibb's high-pitched voice singing "Stayin' Alive" and all that disco music from the album *Saturday Night Fever*. But before they became that, they were already an incredible band. 4 stars

Yank Crime by Drive Like Jehu
Jun 20 2026

At first it seemed like it was just noise. In the end it seemed like it was just the beginning.

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Jun 21 2026

I definitely didn't expect to hear music from Senegal on a Saturday night. What a cool discovery! 4 stars.

The Rolling Stones by The Rolling Stones
Jun 22 2026

Call me crazy, but I think the Stones were the only band playing pure rock and roll in the early 60s, with the right attitude for it. Of course, the Beatles and the Beach Boys should be mentioned, but besides them having followed new musical paths, the visceral and rebellious energy that comes from Jagger's voice with Keith's relaxed guitars gives the necessary legitimacy for the roots of rock and roll to remain alive through the most deflowering decade in music history. 5 stars, of course.

Nowhere by Ride
Jun 23 2026

Cool. They sound like a mix of The Cure and Stone Roses. 4 stars

Document by R.E.M.
Jun 24 2026

I'm going to make a comment that has nothing to do with the album. Today was a difficult day, as I'm very sick. But even so, I managed to find some time and energy to continue this challenge that has already lasted almost 800 consecutive days. I must say that today's album also made the decision easier, as it's one of R.E.M.'s best. Anyway, 5 stars. Let's keep going strong.

Fragile by Yes
Jun 25 2026

YES! One of the albums that introduced me to progressive rock. Even today, I can play the songs from this album back in my head, note for note, without even listening to anything. 5 stars.

Mask by Bauhaus
Jun 26 2026

The first time I heard of Bauhaus was thanks to a Spotify playlist called goth rock/post punk (I know, the most generic name possible). It has a bunch of songs by this band. And just like with The Cure's album Pornography, I was already familiar with the songs on this album, but out of the original track order, having listened to them on a shuffled playlist. But the album is very good for the genre. I give it 4 stars.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 27 2026

Anything bearing the name of one of the CSNY members is an automatic 5-star rating.

American Pie by Don McLean
Jun 28 2026

It's interesting how many things from the 70s exist that I have no idea even know exist. I loved it, give me more.

Destroyer by KISS
Jun 29 2026

Kiss is a band that I've never really liked. Destroyer is an album that has nothing interesting about it except for the cover. 2 stars

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jun 30 2026

This is a good band. It would be 5 stars if the vocalist wasn't trying to imitate drunk Dylan.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 01 2026

I listened to it 5 times in a row without stopping... Do you want me to say more? Bruce is one of those artists I didn't listen to during my adolescence, and thank God I didn't, I wouldn't have understood it at the time. Born To Run appeared at the moment I needed it most. 5 stars, without even blinking.

Queen II by Queen
Jul 02 2026

For those who think Queen is just a band of "hits"... here comes Queen II. Enjoy!

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jul 03 2026

Too short to be boring. Too long to be good. 3 stars.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Jul 04 2026

This whole album sounds like a goth bachelor party. Fucking cool!

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jul 05 2026

I'd listen to an entire album of just Johnny Cash talking to the audience. Come on, we're talking about a guy who'd have the guts to do a show in prison, and at the end of the performance still say, "I hope to see everyone here next time." That's Johnny Cash!

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Jul 06 2026

I listened to this album in a very cold and analytical way, because ever since I discovered Echo and The Bunnymen, and listened Killing Moon for the first time, I never understood what makes this band sound so special. They don't do anything out of this world, or unconventional, but they captivate and move you. Even after analysis... my answer is inconclusive. 4 stars.

Different Class by Pulp
Jul 07 2026

As I said before: Pulp is nothing more than David Bowie if he had a Britpop band. Still damn good. 5 stars

Jul 08 2026

David Byrne is a punk rock singer in a funk and R&B band, and for some reason, it sounds wonderful. 4 stars.

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Jul 09 2026

It's not bad, but I feel like I've already heard this album thousands of times before. 3 stars.

Technique by New Order
Jul 10 2026

So... the remaining members of Joy Division got together to form a disco band? Cool. 4 stars.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 11 2026

This is the first time I've listened to this album in many years. Radiohead's 2000s era never really appealed to me, though this album isn't bad. In my opinion, Radiohead lost a bit of their identity when Johnny Greenwood stopped playing guitar. Before, it was: "I'm sad. *guitar solo* After: "I'm sad. *beep beep bop bop*"

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jul 12 2026

I have a feeling that if this album had been released 20 years earlier, it would be much better known. It's very good, but it sounds like thousands of other albums. 3 stars

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jul 13 2026

As a soundtrack for a racing video game: 5 stars As an album in itself: 2 stars.

Jul 14 2026

Taaaaaaaaake ooooooooooon meeeeeeeeee. Take. On. Me. Taaaaaaaaaake meeeeeeeeeee oooooooooooonnnnnn

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs by Derek & The Dominos
Jul 15 2026

This is one of the 75 bands that Eric Clapton formed in the late 60s to play blues and steal other people's wives. Enjoy!

Medúlla by Björk
Jul 16 2026

I read somewhere that Björk is like the cool version of Yoko Ono. Well, if that's true, at least she actually sings—despite her constant urge to make noises and moans in the background of the songs.

John Prine by John Prine
Jul 17 2026

Awesome! His voice sounds like a mix of Glen Campbell and Bob Dylan.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Jul 18 2026

Imagine being a white teenager in the mid-1950s, used only to voices like Sinatra playing on the radio or record player, and suddenly this stylish young man with slicked-back hair (full of gel) appears, singing the kind of music your parents called "black folks music," moving his hips in the most obscene way anyone had ever seen before, driving the girls wild, and with a voice that "attacked" the lyrics in a way no one had ever heard before... That was Elvis. The man who broke the invisible barriers that segregated the public from the best genre of music ever invented. King? Exaggeration. Unquestionable icon? Absolutely. 5 stars.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 19 2026

I listened to this album twice. Once last night, watching the rain through my window, and again today on a sunny Sunday afternoon. It fit both vibes. The Go-Betweens might be the first band to really spark my interest this year. Thanks, 1001albunsgenerator.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jul 20 2026

I never really liked Grateful Dead, but until I heard this album I thought it was just my high expectations whenever someone spoke well of the band. Now all that's left is the fact that I don't like them. They're talented, there are worthwhile things in their live performances, but it doesn't connect with me. 3 stars is fair.

Skylarking by XTC
Jul 21 2026

This album is quite different from what was being released in the 80s. It sounds like something transported from the 60s, only recorded in the 80s. I really liked the creativity of the arrangements and the vocal melodies are impeccable. It's an album that needs two or more listens to fully digest the message and connect with the music; there's no immediate connection. But it's really very good. 4 stars.

Jul 22 2026

George Michael, for me, was always a "one-hit wonder" until I started listening to his albums. It's not the kind of thing I usually listen to, but now I understand why people like him, and for a good reason: he's very good! 3 stars

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 23 2026

Everyone has their "comfy bands." These are the bands and artists we listen to every day, and who accompany us in almost every moment. Listening to this type of band is as natural and normal as drinking water and breathing. And CCR is definitely one of my comfy bands. No joke, I listen to their entire discography in sequence at least once a week. So what can I write about Bayou Country without sounding like a silly fan? I can say that every time I try to play "Born On The Bayou" on the guitar in the original key, my voice gets hoarse in seconds because my voice is like Johnny Cash's, and we're talking about John Fogerty. I can say that "Good Golly Miss Molly" was the first version of that song I ever heard. I can say that I've picked up several girls playing "Proud Mary" on the guitar (just kidding, I can't). In short... everything that CCR released between 1968-1970 is absolutely 5 stars (yes, there are 6 albums in that period).

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Jul 24 2026

This sounds like everything I dislike and everything we’d hear in the following decade. That fast-paced electronic percussion just doesn't work at all. 2 stars.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jul 25 2026

I think I've heard some of these songs sampled in some rap/hip hop groups... but anyway, the album isn't good. It just sounds like a collage of random sounds, and not in a good way.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jul 26 2026

In my opinion, the most iconic voice in Rap/hip hop. Instantly recognizable. What younger people today call "aura," Snoop already had three decades ago. Rap albums becoming classics... what a great time to be alive!

Soul Mining by The The
Jul 27 2026

To start, I think I've found a strong contender for "worst band name" of all time. The The goes head-to-head and battles hard with TOTO in this category. Regarding the music, it sounds like Ian Curtis singing in a "happy" band. I say this only because the vocalist's voice is similar, and the harmonies are a bit more cheerful... nothing more... I'm out of stupid comparisons now: 4 stars.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Jul 28 2026

I think this is Kate Bush's most "accessible" album for new listeners. I'm speaking for myself, of course, because it was only after listening to this album that the rest of Kate Bush's wonderful discography started to sound good to my ears. She's not an easy artist to understand. 5 stars

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Jul 29 2026

The kind of music to put on while driving at 40 miles per hour on the road. Love it! 5 stars

Scream, Dracula, Scream by Rocket From The Crypt
Jul 30 2026

What a solid sound! They sound like the most refined garage band in the world. This whole album sounds a few years ahead of its time, considering that most rock bands would sound like this in the 2000s. But I didn't really like the vocalist's voice, though. His voice sounds like a goofball with expired deodorant trying to sound cool. But apart from that, it's a very fun album. Try listening to it at 5 am with a coffee and you'll be wide awake for the rest of the day. 4 stars

The Visitors by ABBA
Jul 31 2026

Call me crazy, but ABBA belongs to an elite group of artists and bands with an immeasurable gift for creating memorable, timeless melodies and harmonies. When I think of melodies, names like Paul McCartney and Elton John come to mind—and ABBA follows right after. Everything on this album sounds perfect. The aforementioned harmonies and melodies (especially the vocals), the songs, the flawless production... In short, it’s ABBA. 5 stars.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Aug 01 2026

A sound like this in 1992 sounds revolutionary. I can hear about 15 metal genres being born from this album. The only problem here is the vocalist: they could have hired one. 3 stars.

Woodface by Crowded House
Aug 02 2026

It's not bad, but it sounds very generic. Nothing special to be on this list. 3 stars

Aug 03 2026

This is a good Punk Rock album. Raw and direct, and only 28 minutes long. And despite that, it has great replay value: I listened to it 3 times in a row. 4 stars (but it's not perfect either).

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Aug 04 2026

This isn't the first time I've heard a PJ Harvey album through this site. But unlike the last time, this album sounds more raw and visceral, with a heavier sound. The problem here is that some tracks shouldn't be even half as long. Four-minute songs that shouldn't even be two minutes long are filled with a lot of nothing. This ruins the album experience by half. 2 stars.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Aug 05 2026

Another CCR album. As I've said in other reviews, they're one of my comfort bands. I listen to their entire discography from start to finish at least once a week. But today is different. Today, the 1001 Album Generator gave me my favorite CCR album: **Cosmo's Factory**. It's my favorite purely because of personal preference. If someone told me that any of the band's first six albums (the only ones that really matter, in my opinion) is their best, I'd probably agree with them too. So today I'm going to do something I've never done in over 800 consecutive days of reviews on this site: a track-by-track review. If you actually read the whole thing... God bless you. **1. Ramble Tamble** – When my dad gave me my first motorcycle, I discovered I could combine the two things I love most in life: highways and music. All it took was a tiny Bluetooth earbud in my right ear. Perfect combination. This was the very first song I played the first time I opened the throttle on my new bike and hit 62 mph. Can you imagine that feeling? Especially when the tempo suddenly slows down and CCR briefly turns into a progressive rock band. Honestly, John Fogerty should get David Gilmour to collaborate on this song someday. I'd gladly sell one of my kidneys to hear that. **2. Before You Accuse Me** – The perfect soundtrack for an open relationship. She cheats on him, he cheats on her. Completely mutual. Beautiful to witness. **3. Travelin' Band** – The perfect summary of what it meant to be a musician back then. Hit the road and hope for the best. God only knows how many bands tried... and how many never made it. **4. Ooby Dooby** – A rockabilly tune with a strong country feel. Great dancing music. **5. Lookin' Out My Back Door** – In my opinion, the best song on the album and one of the band's greatest lyrics. It talks about tambourines and elephants the same way the Beatles sang about Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. Draw your own conclusions. **6. Run Through the Jungle** – I love it when CCR leans into that swamp rock sound. Another song that's absolutely perfect for motorcycle rides. **7. Up Around the Bend** – Warning: attempting to sing along may leave you without a voice. Fogerty's vocals here are absolutely insane. How on earth does he keep that up until the very end? Nothing beats a CCR classic to kick off Side B. **8. My Baby Left Me** – Yet another fantastic song to dance to. **9. Who'll Stop the Rain** – The spiritual sister of *Have You Ever Seen the Rain*, and another one of the band's masterpieces. The first of the album's only two ballads doesn't show up until track nine. Until then, it's been nothing but knockout punches. Incredible. This song feels like easing off the gas pedal and taking a deep breath. **10. I Heard It Through the Grapevine** – This was the first version of this song I ever heard, and it's the one that introduced me to Marvin Gaye's music. It's also another amazing song to listen to while riding a motorcycle. My alternate title for it is: *"I Just Found Out I've Been Cheated On (11-Minute Version)."* **11. Long As I Can See the Light** – A gentle ballad to close the album... why not? As long as I can see the light, I can clearly see that this album is incredible. ★★★★★

Inspiration Information by Shuggie Otis
Aug 06 2026

This definitely doesn't sound like a typical 70s soul album. It has a new feel that I'm still trying to process. Requires a second listen. 4 stars.

GI by Germs
Aug 07 2026

It's a good punk rock album that delivers exactly what you expect from it, knowing it's a punk album from 1979. Pure, raw, fast, and visceral. I already knew Lexicon Devil thanks to the GTA V soundtrack, but I'd never heard anything else besides that, and I'm still trying to find reasons for this album to be on this list. Okay, it's a great album, but it sounds like many others. If I do my homework and read up on the context in which this album was released, maybe I'll find that reason. But I don't want to have to read a book every time I listen to an album. Music has to make sense without context. For that reason, only 3 stars. (I wanted to note here that I guessed the album was exactly 38 minutes long before even opening it on Spotify. If you're going to play the lottery today, choose number 38 and split the prize with me afterwards.)

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Aug 08 2026

Personally, I go crazy every time I hear this version of "Walk This Way." Great rap/hip-hop album.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 09 2026

The coolest trio in history. How can you listen to "La Grange" and not want to grow a beard? Everything ZZ Top has released is 5-star material.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 10 2026

I'm personally always amazed by the number of musical references the Beastie Boys make with their samples. I can spend hours listening just trying to identify everything.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Aug 11 2026

Everything, absolutely everything about this album is 5 stars. Starting with the cover, which is not only one of the most iconic music covers, but also one of the most famous photographs of all time. All four Beatles were at their technical peaks. The best, most polished, and crystalline production of their 13 albums is found here, as George Martin was also at his technical peak. And the songs... well, as a colleague said in another popular review on this site: Each song has an entire wiki page dedicated to it. Need I say more? In this album we simply have George Harrison showing 10% of his songwriting ability (since he forcibly released the other 90% on the incredible *All Things Must Pass*). We have Ringo releasing the best composition of his career in *Octopus's Garden*. We have Paul. And we have John... these, at this point in the band's career, need no introduction. The B-side medley remains uncopyable to this day. A true gift to humanity. It may not be your favorite, but this is the BEST album by the Liverpool quartet, and 5 stars seem insufficient to represent how great this album is... but perhaps the final line of "The End" makes up for it... "And in the end The love you take Is equal to the love you make"

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Aug 12 2026

I just wanted to thank whoever had the brilliant idea of ​​putting Message In a Bottle on the stereo at that boring party. You introduced me to a great band. This album might surprise people. If you're expecting 41 minutes of Message In A Bottle, turn around. The Police don't follow any rules, despite the name. 5 stars.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Aug 13 2026

I like how Costello's voice always sounds like a rebellious teenager. Aside from that, everything else sounds more of the same. It's very good, but there's nothing different to justify its presence on this list. 4 stars

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Aug 15 2026

Well, at least this one is better than that airport music one. 2 stars
