Popular Reviews

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park

I truly hate Linkin Park. I don’t understand why they’re popular, I don’t understand people who actually like them, and I don’t understand someone ever considering this being in the running for one of the best albums of all time.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 21 2024

Very solid. Rays vocals mix well with both the big band and the more string focused sections to make a something worth listening.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Jun 22 2024

Typical bar music. Not terrible but nothing making it some sort of beautiful masterpiece. Worth a listen though.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jun 25 2024

I know a lot of people call this album melancholy but for me it’s quite comforting. The instrumentals specifically were really just a vibe to me. I understand how it could certainly not be someone’s cup of tea but I beg you to try it.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jun 26 2024

I usually try to keep an open mind about albums but I genuinely hate this one. The vocals,the backing instruments,all of it is practically unlistenable to me.

The Coral by The Coral
Jun 27 2024

I see a lot of people hating on this but it isn’t terrible. I mean it certainly isn’t MY cup of tea but it’s not bad by any means. The idea of mixing the styles of 60’s rock and sea shanties is something I haven’t seen before. It knows what it wants to do and does it.

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Jun 28 2024

This is one of the most strange albums I’ve ever heard. It kind of sounds like the ramblings of a schizophrenic man, but it honestly only makes it better.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jun 29 2024

It’s not bad necessarily, just really not for me.

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Jun 30 2024

I was genuinely surprised how much I liked this.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jul 01 2024

I’m not a huge thrash metal fan but this was actually really good. I loved the high octane wild energy and this has honestly potentially introduced me to a genre I never would have been interested in if it weren’t for this album.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Jul 03 2024

It’s an average pop rap record. I lean more towards disliking this album than liking it but it really could go either way. Nothing special or anything.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jul 04 2024

The pure funk along with the guitars and the smoothness of it all make it well worth a listen.

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jul 05 2024

Other than the great lyricism (that is in no small part thanks to many of the songs having been written by Bob Dylan) this album really doesn’t have much to it. It’s English folk. It’s plain, boring, and not for me most of the time.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jul 06 2024

Pretty enjoyable.

Woodface by Crowded House
Jul 08 2024

I didn’t really like the vocals but I’d guess that’s just an accent thing.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 09 2024

Is this an objectively good album? Yes. Do I like it? No. The voice of the lead singer makes me want to tear my ears off and the only songs I liked were the instrumental and God Only Knows(mostly due to sentimental value) and al of this comes along with the fact that I hate 60s pop with a passion that burns hotter than the sun. This album is good but I still hate it.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Jul 10 2024

I kept on banging my head the whole time.

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Jul 11 2024

I didn’t get the chance to fully listen to this album due to time constraints but the few songs I heard weren’t for me. Turns out a movie soundtrack can be pretty bad without the movie to support it.

Solid Air by John Martyn
Jul 12 2024

I actually found a British album I liked. Jokes aside though, this album had some very interesting experimental tracks, and the jazz influence combines oddly well with English folk.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Jul 13 2024

I’ve been a huge fan of Dylan for a while now and this album is the best example of why. The raw emotion in the lyrics and vocals create the best breakup album of all time.

Junkyard by The Birthday Party
Jul 14 2024

I heard someone say this album sounds exactly like the cover. They were right. The vocals sound like nails on a chalkboard.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jul 15 2024

I really liked the mixing of genres present. I never thought that funk and punk could go well together but here we are.
