Popular Reviews

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

I hear a lot of Led Zeppelin in this album, but I can't tell if that's because I listen to only Led Zeppelin in this genre, or if they are that influential. Either way, I like Led Zeppelin and therefore I like this album.

I very much enjoyed my night at the opera. Although, I don't feel like I was dressed appropriately

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse

The album vibe is not really for me; favourite track is probably the titular one

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson

This whole album (cover art, lyrics, instrumentation) gives me the creeps, and not in a good, fun way

Tidal by Fiona Apple

I loved the depth of the instrumentation on parts of the album, especially the closing track

1-Star Albums (3)

All Ratings (102)

Moon Safari by Air
Jun 17 2024

My favourite track is the opening one; feels very similar to Parcels and their debut. A very solid synthetic sound throughout the album

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 18 2024

The album vibe is not really for me; favourite track is probably the titular one

Blackstar by David Bowie
Jun 19 2024

Top notch album, title track is once again my favourite

Illmatic by Nas
Jun 20 2024

Obviously a hugely influential album, but my weakness is that I don't have an appreciation of some older hip-hop records. This will be one I have return to once I'd be able to understand it more.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jun 21 2024

I liked this one, especially the track 'Behind the Wall'

Play by Moby
Jun 24 2024

The whole album just feels too long and pretty discontinous. However, I did enjoy a few of the tracks, such as 'Bodyrock', 'Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?' and 'Machete'

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 25 2024

A decent heavy rock record, and a Kinks cover is always a good touch

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 26 2024

I loved the depth of the instrumentation on parts of the album, especially the closing track

Diamond Life by Sade
Jun 27 2024

A solid, groovy, funky LP

The Man Who by Travis
Jun 28 2024

That opening track is like a Wonderwall jumpscare. Overall I don't think this a genre that lines up well with me. However, I appreciate the presence of a hidden track

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jul 02 2024

Very solid double LP. Obviously Mr. Blue Sky is the standout track, but I really enjoyed the opening run of tracks too

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jul 03 2024

I hear a lot of Led Zeppelin in this album, but I can't tell if that's because I listen to only Led Zeppelin in this genre, or if they are that influential. Either way, I like Led Zeppelin and therefore I like this album.

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Jul 04 2024

The album is very atmospheric, super vibe-y, great background noise. It doesn't really surpass that for me, but is fits that role very well.

Antichrist Superstar by Marilyn Manson
Jul 05 2024

This whole album (cover art, lyrics, instrumentation) gives me the creeps, and not in a good, fun way

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Jul 08 2024

This album rocks; the context behind it all is suoer crazy too

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 09 2024

This was a very good listen, although I wish the whole album carried the energy of the first song

Jul 10 2024

I really enjoyed 'Last Day of Our Acquaintance' but I didn't understand the appeal of the whole album

World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jul 11 2024

A fun album that doesn't take itself too seriously. In the words of the great Tyler 'The' Creator, "God I love this sample"

Rapture by Anita Baker
Jul 12 2024

Yeah, it's alright. Maybe it was ground-breaking and/or innovative in its time, but unfortunately to my modern ears it just sounds a dated

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Jul 15 2024

The crowd work done by Cash really carries this album. The vibe is almost haunting to me

Boston by Boston
Jul 16 2024

Once again, there's one stand out track, everything else is a bit less memorable

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Jul 17 2024

Favourites were 'Be-In' and 'Whipping Tree', I wish the whole album sounded like them

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Jul 18 2024

Uhh, those vocals were sleazy af, not in a fun way. I enjoyed the guitars though

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jul 19 2024

Low-fi songs to nap and sit on a plane to

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jul 22 2024

The tracks are really long and scary to drag and become repetitive. I liked sections, but I'm not scrubbing through 70 minutes of music to go find them

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Jul 23 2024

Not a big country fan, but this album is a good listen

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jul 24 2024

Not nearly enough synth or fun to call itself new wave

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Jul 25 2024

This feels like the soundtrack to a very boring musical

Jul 26 2024

After hearing some bad albums that claimed to be "the answer to Brit Pop", it's refreshing to hear what none of them could recreate

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 29 2024

A solid solid-rock LP, it's crazy the kind of star power behind this album

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Jul 30 2024

Another fun, heavy rock album! I much prefer this streak of generated albums compared to what was being dished up last week

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Jul 31 2024

I had to listen to the album with the Genius page open for each track, because I knew I didn't want to lose the narrative of the album. It's an touching story, woven together through some amazing songs.

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Aug 01 2024

I just don't see the appeal of THIS specific live rock album compared to the many others out there. What makes this one special?

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Aug 05 2024

It's alright, some nice vibes, nothing special though

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Aug 07 2024

I struggled to connect with some of the earlier soul albums that I reviewed - but psychedelic soul? Sign me up!

Repeater by Fugazi
Aug 09 2024

I liked it, part grunge, part Beastie Boys. I'm not big into the punk scene, but this album was good

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 14 2024

Woah, this album was beautiful, 'Old Whore's Diet' and all!

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Aug 15 2024

I dunno, didn't seem too special as a live album

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Aug 16 2024

Ah yeah, it's fine. The first half of the album just sounds like a less interesting Beach Boys album, but the final few tracks feel much more unique

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Aug 20 2024

I don't really know how to judge an album where it's covers from front to back. I'm not well versed enough to say if the instrumentation and arrangement are comparable to other versions of the standard. What I can say though, is that I enjoyed listening to this album

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Aug 21 2024

I think the out of tune opening track really sets the tone for the whole album - it's kind of good and also annoying

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Aug 22 2024

Similarly to Ray Charles, I don't know how to judge an album full of covered, especially a live one

Liquid Swords by GZA
Aug 23 2024

Nothing super special but nothing downright bad. Just not for me

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Aug 26 2024

Obviously this early record, and others like it, were a huge influence on what our music is today, and I respect that. But at the same time I'm not really coming back to listen to it again

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Aug 27 2024

Yeah, it's pretty good, but Blue Monday has the whole album covered

British Steel by Judas Priest
Aug 29 2024

This one was punchy, heavy, and a fun listening experience

Elastica by Elastica
Aug 30 2024

I love the punk of this album

Sep 02 2024

I very much enjoyed my night at the opera. Although, I don't feel like I was dressed appropriately

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Sep 03 2024

Listening to a few of these heavy rock albums thanks to this website has shown me that I can really like this genre.

Arrival by ABBA
Sep 04 2024

Some cute, lighthearted fun, with the absolute banger Dancing Queen thrown in too.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 05 2024

I really like this one!

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Sep 09 2024

I love the swing of this album, the third track was my favourite

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Sep 10 2024

Maybe I would have preferred it with some vocals attached, but you can't deny how good that organ is

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Sep 11 2024

The music put me in a great mood straight away, I even enjoyed giggling at a women 'mourning' her dead husband

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Sep 12 2024

Nothing special sauce about this album to me, a lot of the songs were just too same-y

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Sep 13 2024

Felt a bit same-y compared to their follow up. Still a decent listen, favourite track probably Columbia

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Sep 16 2024

Kind of over the top and showy in an un-fun way

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Sep 17 2024

I think this album might be an acquired taste, good thing I like the Beastie Boys

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Sep 19 2024

I do enjoy some long jams, but this album seems a bit excessive. And I prefer the polish of the studio sound. Overall it's fine

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 20 2024

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said before, the albums is basically perfect (although I usually skip Territorial Pissings)

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Sep 23 2024

A totally fine blues rock album, not much more to say, I guess

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Sep 24 2024

It's an alright late 60s rock album, could be more experimental or progressive for my taste, but that's being nit-picky

Roots by Sepultura
Sep 26 2024

This album is too long, and probably caught me on an off day for heavy rock

Horses by Patti Smith
Sep 27 2024

Powerful singing / vocals, I really liked it

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Sep 30 2024

Atmospheric, empty but full, echoes. I like the sounds on this album, reminds of "The Division Bell" (positive connotations)

Oct 01 2024

I do own this album picked it up for a couple dollars second-hand because I liked 'The Scientist' and 'Clocks'. 'Politik' always surprises me as a good opener, but there's nothing particularly special about this album.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Oct 02 2024

Eh? Ugh

Medúlla by Björk
Oct 03 2024

I liked the beat boxing, I didn't like the heavy breathing, mixed overall, bit something I think I'd listen to again

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Oct 04 2024

She has a fantastic voice, loved this

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Oct 07 2024

I love the range of 70s rock you can hear on this album. Something for everyone and lots for me

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Oct 08 2024

Nothing caught me about this album, it just felt long

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Oct 09 2024

It's fun, a bit noodle-y, probably more impactful in it's time

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Oct 10 2024

Solid grunge-esque album, good thing I was wearing my nirvana jumper today and was in the mood for something like this.

At Budokan by Cheap Trick
Oct 11 2024

The drums are very good, but otherwise I am not a huge fan of live albums

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Oct 15 2024

Some of the tracks are good in isolation, my favourite being the drum solo to close out 'Blues for Hughey'. However, I don't think I'll be coming back to a 70+ minute long mostly instrumental album with nothing much else going for it

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Oct 16 2024

This album really reminded me of 'Sometimes I Might Be Introvert' from Little Simz, lots of interludes, spoken word, mixed into a RnB album. Both great records.

Soul Mining by The The
Oct 18 2024

I thought I would like the album after the first track, but it just got less interesting after that point

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Oct 21 2024

Every track cannot be 'Blister In The Sun', unfortunately

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Oct 22 2024

I've heard it said before, 'The Wall' is a lot. I really enjoy the music, and I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, but to an outsider this album can be very difficult. Everyone should listen to Comfortably Numb though, that's the best song in Pink Floyd's discography

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 23 2024

Listening to Riders on the Storm without Snoop Dogg feels weird, but that's I played so much Need For Speed: Underground 2 when I was younger. Still a good song and album though

Odelay by Beck
Oct 24 2024

No strong feelings, some odd tracks

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Oct 25 2024

Loved some tracks (Requiem, Crash), but others just didn't pull me in much (especially Bloodsport)

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Oct 28 2024

More enjoyable when it's just instruments, the singing and scatting gets on my nerves

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Oct 29 2024

Obviously by Beatles standard, this album is nowhere near their best. However, it's still a pretty good mid-60s pop-rock album, and the opening track is fantastic. I just wish this album gets the "Giles Martin" treatment soon, because the 2009 remasters can be a struggle.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Oct 30 2024

Woah, that opening track is crazy good. Not what I was expecting from this album and unfortunately the rest of the tracks don't really deliver anything else like that or as good as that. Stolen Car - 4 / 5

2112 by Rush
Nov 04 2024

An alright prog-rock album, but I've heard better 20+ minute tracks

Nov 08 2024

It's short, that's a positive. However, this certainly is not much genre, so I'm pretty low on Buck Owens and his Buckaroos

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 11 2024

Fun album, good hits, I really enjoyed the music and how catchy it is
