Popular Reviews

Live At Leeds by The Who

70's Math: Skip class + smoke joint + stereo at 10 + Magic Bus from Live at Leeds = Failure No Supplement on your transcript. Five star memories of a 4star or B+ album.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Congratulations to The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion! An album has to be exceedingly bad for me to prefer Christmas music and you have done just that. 1 star or F-.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray

When the aliens arrive I think they will be listening to this album. There is a strange but appealing feel to it that gets 5 stars or A- as a rating from me.

4-Star Albums (166)

1-Star Albums (116)

All Ratings (818)

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 18 2024

A great album for a lazy, rainy day smoking hash with a Bunson Burner and hot knives. The final two songs (All Along the Watchtower, Voodoo Child) are as good as a closing as any rock album ever.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 19 2024

Three great songs carry the album, the other songs are just good enough to earn a four star rating.

The Specials by The Specials
May 20 2024

Not a big fan of this but interesting enough to rate three stars. I prefer a letter grading system where this album would get a C- for me.

May 21 2024

This is why I have a lot of Greatest Hits albums. By the time I was finished I had forgotten how great Cisco Kid is. Rated D- or barely a 2.

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 22 2024

Definitely worthy of at least 4 stars. Letter grade B+. I have always liked CCR a lot but not quite to the point of being a favourite.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
May 23 2024

Had not listened to this album before, I just knew Kashmir and Houses of the Holy (two great songs). On first listen I thought maybe 4 stars, but second time through I came to my senses and understood this was clearly worth 5 stars or a letter grade of A but not quite A+.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
May 24 2024

Just no! 1 star is generous. Letter grade F-. As a fellow factory worker used to say, better days ahead. (hopefully)`

May 25 2024

There is just enough here to rate level 4 (B-). No outstanding songs just good english fun. It reminds me of British tv shows like the Darling Buds of May.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
May 26 2024

This album rates as a 2 or D- for me. There are several Deep Purple songs I like but there are none of those here.

Low by David Bowie
May 27 2024

If I had purchased this album in 1977 it would have collected a lot of dust alongside my MC5 album. I am a fan of David Bowie but this album fails completely for me. One star or F as a letter grade.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 28 2024

Not my cup uf tea but the three big hits carry this to 3 stars. Letter grade would be C- because I really don't like the final three songs.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 29 2024

The top five songs (Brown Sugar, Bitch, Dead Flowers, Wild Horses, and Can't You Hear Me Knocking) get this album to 4 stars or B+ for me, but the lesser songs prevent me from giving 5 stars.

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

Okay, okay, okay! I confess to everything just please make it stop! 1 Star or F- worst album I have ever heard, and that is saying something after Slim Shady.

May 31 2024

Very good album. Tough to decide between 4 and 5 stars. I think maybe 4 stars but definitely B+ letter grade.

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 01 2024

The album was not bad to listen to, but did not leave enough of an impression for me to be interested in hearing more. Two stars for me or D+.

Jun 02 2024

I think there is a lot to like on this album, particularly the music. I don't like the lead vocals all that much and the "pscychadelic sounds' in the background remind me of bad 60's and 70's science fiction movies. Still I think 3 stars or C+ would be how I would rate it.

Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
Jun 03 2024

I think there are some decent songs here, but it is still only 2 stars or D+ for me. I just don't like Randy Newman's voice and I really don't like the orchestra music behind several songs on ythis album.

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

I think anyone needing to do a lie detector test should listen to a Marvin Gaye album before they take it because is voice can lower your blood pressure and heart rate, and relieve stress while you listen. For me though, it is not a favoured style of music but still a good 3 star album or solid C+.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Jun 05 2024

This to me is a definite 5 star A+ album. Supertramp, like Queen, had an original and distinctive sound that gave relief to us in the disco era of the mid 70's.

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Jun 06 2024

This is an interesting listen. Not something I would normally listen to, but the more I listen the more I like it, so 3 stars or C+.

Soul Mining by The The
Jun 07 2024

The the is is quite quite good good. 3 stars C+

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 08 2024

Takes me back to many movies and tv shows of the 70's. 4 stars or B just for nostalgia.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jun 09 2024

Great voice but this style of music is not for me. 2 stars D+.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jun 10 2024

I don't like everything here, but what I do like I like a lot. Solid B or 4 stars.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Jun 11 2024

Even though I really like Give Up The Funk, the rest does not raise this above 2 stars or D+ for me.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jun 12 2024

For me this is another album where the best songs are very good (Walk this Way, Sweet Emotion, You See Me Crying) to rate 4 stars or B, but the rest lower that to a B-.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 13 2024

I like it enough to give 4stars or B- and that could rise to B+ with more listens.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Jun 14 2024

A couple decent songs but it just doesn't interest me. 2 stars or D+.

Blur by Blur
Jun 15 2024

I can't even describe how bad this is. 1 star F-.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jun 16 2024

Just a good hour of music. Would have been a good band for a college pub in the 70's. The more beer you drank the better they sounded. I think 4 stars or a B is suitable.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jun 17 2024

Sorry, no thanks. 1 star or F for me.

Bossanova by Pixies
Jun 18 2024

I think Stormy Weather is a decent song, but the rest does not bring this album above 2 stars or D+.

The Score by Fugees
Jun 19 2024

This album helps me understand the popularity of hip hop and rap, which gets me to 3 stars, but when I compare it to the rambling garbage of Eminem it goes to 4 stars or a B rating.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Jun 20 2024

Easily 4 stars but Ramble On and Heartbreaker push it to 5 stars or A- for me.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Jun 21 2024

This album is like a questionnaire response to me because there are parts I dislike, parts I somewhat dislike, parts I somewhat like, parts I like, and the song Life that I really like. All in all 3 stars or C+.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Jun 22 2024

A pretty good listen but maybe 3 stars or C+ would be my rating. An album that might seem grow on me with more plays.

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jun 23 2024

The lyrics of the songs are good enough that his voice only lowers this to 4 stars or B for me.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 24 2024

I really don't like very much of this but will give it 2 stars or D-.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jun 25 2024

Didn't think much pf thr first few songs but the last half were much better to bring it to 3 stars or C+ overall.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Jun 26 2024

Best I can say is it's better than Eminem so 2 stars or D-.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Jun 27 2024

From start to finish this album deserves 1 star or less. F-

21 by Adele
Jun 29 2024

The individual songs are worthy of 4 stars but they all sound so similar to me that I can only give 3 stars or C+.

Night Life by Ray Price
Jun 30 2024

I can almost smell the stale beer and cigarettes with a Sunday morning hangover, from a few decades ago, when I listen to this, so that must be worth 4 stars or B- at least.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jul 01 2024

This album is what it says it is. I am too old to be that angry so 2 stars or D+.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Jul 02 2024

Easy decision to rate 3 stars or C. Nothing great but nothing bad just an okay set of songs.

Jul 03 2024

Everything on this album fits together really well. I wasn't expecting it would be this good, which seems silly considering it is John Lennon. Five stars or A.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jul 04 2024

I can understand the appeal of this album, which probably deserve 4 stars, but since it is Kanye it is 2 stars or D for me.

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 05 2024

Not really my fsvorite genre of music but the one band I do like is Metallica so I rate it as 4 stars or B+.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Jul 06 2024

A good album but not quite as good as Metallica 1 for me so 3 stars or C+ rating.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jul 07 2024

This album is an okay listen but nothing really stands out for me so I guess 3 stars or C seems a suitabie rating.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jul 08 2024

Just squeaks into 4 stars or B- for me. Good album but I have never been a big fan of the Byrds and this didn't change that.

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jul 09 2024

The best known songs are all worthy of 5 stars, and the weaker songs do not lower that rating much. For me I would rate it A- but still 5 stars.

Jul 10 2024

Another album that benefits from the fact the first Rap album I heard was Eminem's Slim Shady. I didn't like this all that much but it is night and day better than Eminem. Still just 2 stars or D+ for me.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Jul 11 2024

There is a lot on this album that I quite dislike but the three or four songs I do like are good enough to make me look farther into this band and rate this album at 3 stars or C-.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 13 2024

Californication and Scar Tissue get this to 2 stars or D+ but that is where it stops.

The Contino Sessions by Death In Vegas
Jul 14 2024

One star from start to finish equals F-. Sounds like music for an alien invasion.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Jul 15 2024

For some reason this brings memories to me of watching British TV shows from the sixties and seventies. My rating would be 4 stars or B+.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 16 2024

The songwriting on this album lifts it to 4 stars or B- for me.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Jul 18 2024

It's like watching a classic Western movie without needing the film. A 5 star or A rated concept album for me. Edit - 14.12.2025: Should be an A+.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jul 19 2024

Nothing that interests me at all so 1 star or F for me.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 20 2024

This is probably a very good jazz album, but I am not a fan of jazz at all, so it is 1 star or F for me.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jul 21 2024

This is okay as background noise for other activities, so I guess 2 stars or D- would be a suitable rating.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jul 22 2024

This is not a genre I have any desire to listen to though I found the final track to be tolerable at least. Still 1 star or F for me.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jul 23 2024

A very good album from start to finish. For me this is 5 stars or A-.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jul 24 2024

Just interesting enough for 2 stars or D+.

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jul 25 2024

I never have understood why so many people think so highly of the Beach Boys. For me 2 stars or D- is generous.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Jul 27 2024

Johnny Cash being Johnny Cash! 5 stars or A rating obviously.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 28 2024

Wow, this album is boring! 2 stars or D- because I always need sleep.

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jul 29 2024

When the aliens arrive I think they will be listening to this album. There is a strange but appealing feel to it that gets 5 stars or A- as a rating from me.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jul 30 2024

The great songs carry the weaker to a 5 star or A- rating for me.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Jul 31 2024

I can't say I enjoyed any of this so 1 star or F for me.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Aug 01 2024

Androids are boring. This lasted a lot longer than I hoped it would. 1 star or F for me.

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Aug 02 2024

There are no songs on here that I want to ever hear again. 1 star or F.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Aug 04 2024

In small doses I like this, but as an album it is more than I need. It probably deserves better but for me it is 2 stars or D+.

Rising Above Bedlam by Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
Aug 05 2024

Could not find the whole album but the pieces I found were okay. I would say 3 stars or C-.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Aug 06 2024

This should be ona list of albums no one should ever have to listen to. 1 star or F-.

Dummy by Portishead
Aug 07 2024

This was a 1 star album until Glory Box added the second star. 2 stars or D+.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Aug 08 2024

Vocals are just okay but the lyrics make this asolid 3 stars or C+.

Suede by Suede
Aug 09 2024

I think this album is definitely worthy of more listens. For now I would rate it 4 stars or B-.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Aug 10 2024

Superstition and Big Brother get 2 stars or D from me but the rest leave it at that.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Aug 11 2024

Lay down, light up, headphones on, volume up, close your eyes and climb the stairway. Then you will understand how great this album is. 5 stars or A+ without question.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Aug 12 2024

I feel that this album is worthy of 4 stars or B based on three very good songs. (Dominion/Mother Russia, 1959, and especially This Corrosion.)

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Aug 13 2024

I know there are people who really enjoy this music, but I am certainly not one of them. 1 star or F for me.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Aug 14 2024

The hit songs are pretty good but the rest is just ok so 3 stars or C- for me.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Aug 15 2024

This album is just okay but doesn't make me interested in a second runthrough so 2 stars or D+.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Aug 16 2024

A lot to like here. I think 4 stars or B- is fair.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Aug 17 2024

With Tangled Up in Blue snd Shelter From the Storm, the rest of it easily carries this to 5 stars or A.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Aug 18 2024

A very good album throughout. 5 stars or A-.

Aug 19 2024

Take Me To The River is good but it is the only song worth more than one listen so 2 stars or D- for the album.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Aug 20 2024

Too many memorable songs not to be 5 stars or A- for me.

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Aug 21 2024

I don't like this much but the rhyming has some interesting parts. 2 stars or D.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Aug 22 2024

Music is pretty good on this album but the radio show stuff is just annoying. 3 stars or C- for me.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
Aug 23 2024

I have no interest whatsoever in this. 1 star or F for me.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 24 2024

Heroes is a decent song but an awful album, 1 star or F.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
Aug 25 2024

Good collection of cover songs done reasonably well so 3 stars or C-.

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Aug 26 2024

There are a few good songs here but not enough for a double album. Overall, I think 2 stars or D+ is where I would rate it.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Aug 27 2024

Sounds a bit like a mix of Talking Heads and the Doors. 3 stars or C+ for me but that might improve some on a second listen.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Aug 28 2024

Just a consistently good album. 4 stars or B.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 29 2024

There is nothing here that I ever need or want to hear again. 1 star or F for me.

It's Too Late to Stop Now by Van Morrison
Aug 30 2024

I am not usually a big fan of live albums but this is an exception to that. 5 stars or A-.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Aug 31 2024

The best songs are really good but side two is weak in my opinion so 3 stars or C+ is my rating.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Sep 01 2024

Hard to decide between 3 and 4 stars but Emmylou's voice gets it to 4 stars or B- for me.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Sep 02 2024

The only good thing about this album is that by the time it ended I had already forgotten that I ever listened to it. 1 star or F-.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Sep 03 2024

A consistently good live album from a very 70's band so 4 stars or B- for me.

My Generation by The Who
Sep 04 2024

Just a really, really good album. 5 stars or A for me.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Sep 05 2024

I would rather listen to this album than the Slim Shady album so that is enough for a 1 star and F+ rating.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Sep 06 2024

There are some okay parts to this album but there is way too much I don't like at all to rate it higher than 2 stars or D.

Melodrama by Lorde
Sep 07 2024

This album is okay but just does not appeal to me which is probably because it is not meant for my generation anyway. So for my listening preferences this gets just 2 stars or D as a rating.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Sep 10 2024

There are enough good parts to this for 3 stars or C.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Sep 11 2024

The music and vocals are interesting enough or 3 stars or C-, but I would not go so far as to say I like it.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Sep 12 2024

A lot of the lyrics are interesting but the style of music doesn't appeal to me. 2 stars or D+ for me.

Sep 13 2024

I am pretty sure James Brown Live in 1963 would have been worthy of 5 stars and this album gives you a good sense of that. 5 stars or A for me.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Sep 14 2024

Sultans of Swing is a great song but the rest is not at that level, so 3 stars or C+ is my rating.

The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Sep 15 2024

The music is okay, lead singer is below average, so 2 stars or D+ seems fair.

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

This album is twice as long as it should have been. There are too many songs that add nothing but noise to it. Some good songs here but overall it is 2 stars or D+ for me.

Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 19 2024

I didn't like this in the 80's and I still don't. 2 stars or D for me.

The Slider by T. Rex
Sep 20 2024

I liked this album better and better as it went along, just enough for 4 stars or B for a rating.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Sep 21 2024

I think You Haven't Done Nothin' is Stevie Wonder's best song but the rest of the album doesn't interest me at all, so my rating is 2 stars or D+.

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Sep 22 2024

I had not heard this band before but I wish I had. Every song on this album is worthy of more listens. 5 stars or A.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Sep 23 2024

You can't argue that these three women have great voices that blend well. For me, I find the choice of songs could have had more variety so 4 stars or B- is my rating.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Sep 24 2024

A decent album but nothing to get excited about so 3 stars or C- for me.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Sep 25 2024

There is some decent country songs here but only enough for 3 stars or C in my opinion.

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

Since I stayed awake for the whole thing I guess I can spare 2 stars or D- as a rating.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Sep 28 2024

It is an okay album in some ways but not for me so 2 stars or D+.

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Sep 29 2024

I am not a big fan of Steely Dan and this is about half as good. 2 stars or D+.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
Sep 30 2024

A good album but nothing outstanding. 3 stars or C+ for me.

Disintegration by The Cure
Oct 01 2024

A consistently good album throughout, good enough for 4 stars or B after ny first listen.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Oct 02 2024

Overall a great album of 5 stars with a couple weaker songs that hold it to an A rather than A+.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 03 2024

If you exchange the G for a P you would have a more accurate album title. 1 star or F-.

Oct 04 2024

Too much jazz for me but there are a couple of songs that raiseit from 1 star. 2 stars or D- for me.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Oct 05 2024

Al Green is the definition of easy listening and this album is an example of that. 4 stars or B- for me.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Oct 06 2024

One great song with several very good songs equals 4 stars or B+.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Oct 08 2024

I really like The Jean Genie, but the rest of it does nothing for me so 2 stars or D+ is my rating.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 09 2024

Simply a great album from start to finish. 5 stars or A+.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Oct 10 2024

Defininitely not the best of the Bee Gees. 2 stars or D+.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Oct 11 2024

By the end of this album I was glad just to have the ringing of tinnitis in my ears. 1 star or F.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Oct 12 2024

Heavy metal at its best. 5 stars or A for me.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Oct 13 2024

This album is okay but kind of boring after a couple of songs. 3 stars or C- for me.

May 29 2026

A good album but all Bon Jovi songs start to sound the same to me. 4 stars or B+.

Jun 30 2026

Some decent songs but the vocals are too weak to want to listen for long. 3 stars or C-.

For me this is a pretty dull album. 2 stars or D+.

Calenture by The Triffids
Jul 31 2026

The album is good, but nothing really stands out for me. 3 stars or C+.

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 01 2026

From the album cover, to the album title, to the music itself, this is true genius. 5 stars or A+.

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Aug 02 2026

Lyrics are interesting and I really liked Gin Soaked Boy, but the rest I could take or leave. 3 stars or C-.

Illmatic by Nas
Aug 03 2026

Just another Rap album to me. 2 stars or D-.

Bluesbreakers by John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers
Aug 04 2026

A good album but I would always choose Muddy Waters or B.B. King ahead of it. 4 stars or B-.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Aug 05 2026

Just bad musicians making noise. 1 star or F.

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 06 2026

I think there are several good songs here, but a lot of it seems like church-choir music to me, with nothing that rises to the level of Thunder Road or Badlands or any of the best Springsteen songs of the late 70's. 3 stars or C+.

Aug 07 2026

I bought this album in 1977 and really didn't like it. Hearing it again now I still am not impressed by the first or last song, but the rest is actually good. 3 stars or C+.

Aug 08 2026

Can't really explain why I like this album but I just do. 4 stars or B.

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Aug 09 2026

It's not terrible, it's not good. Next! 3 stars or C-.

Aug 10 2026

Chicago is an example of a band that justifies Greatest Hits albums. 2 good songs cannot carry a full album. 2 stars or D+.

Aug 11 2026

It's not a bad album, but just doesn't move the needle for me. 3 stars or C-.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns by Joni Mitchell
Aug 12 2026

Songwriting is quite good but the album is a little too artsy for my taste. 3 stars or C+.
