Popular Reviews

Low by David Bowie

Unique in the way that I didn't know one could use such experimental instrumentation and still bore me. 2/5

Ingenue by k.d. lang

A good voice isn't enough to stop music being boring. What's the point of pop without hooks? 1/5

All Ratings (112)

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jul 11 2024

damn good - 9/10

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Jul 12 2024

I've never sat down and listened to anything similar to this It sounds beautiful but given that I relate to practically none of the lyrics, I don't see myself giving this any repeat listens. 3/5

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Jul 16 2024

Sounds consistently pretty good but nothing jumps out at or hooks me. 3/5

Marquee Moon by Television
Jul 17 2024

I was vibing pretty hard the whole time. The bass tickled my brain quite nicely. 4/5

Low by David Bowie
Jul 18 2024

Unique in the way that I didn't know one could use such experimental instrumentation and still bore me. 2/5

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Jul 19 2024

Aside from a few standout tracks this was a pretty meh to average rock album. 3/5

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jul 21 2024

Some decent tracks and some worse tracks. 2/5

D by White Denim
Jul 22 2024

In a vacuum the instruments are great and the vocals are fairly good. However there are times when it feels like they don't entirely fit together. 3/5

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Jul 23 2024

Interesting beat choices/instrumental stuff are the only thing holding the vocals and lyrics from leaping headfirst into a 1 star rating. Barely 2/5

Heartattack And Vine by Tom Waits
Jul 24 2024

A drunk stranger that only eats lit cigarettes rambles at you for 44 minutes in a jazz bar as you uncomfortably try to escape. 4/5 Would have been a 5 if it wasn't for Jersey Girl being somewhat bad.

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Jul 25 2024

Almost impressively inconsistent. There's a couple great tracks (Angels, Let Me Entertain You) and a bunch of slop. The good singles are a good enough addition to a playlist to drag the album up to a 3 though. 3/5

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jul 26 2024

I know nothing about the making of music so I don't know why this caught me to the extent that it did but this is an easy 5/5 Takes me back to the time I fell down a flight of stairs as a teenager.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jul 27 2024

A few absolute bangers, but good lord this gets repetitive fast. 3/5

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jul 28 2024

Fairly dated and fairly boring. 2/5

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jul 29 2024

I'm sure this would be great within the context of the film but it's pretty boring by itself. There is a rare highlight to toss in an instrumental playlist though. 2/5

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Jul 30 2024

A pretty dope album when it wasn't trying it's hardest to give me a headache. So half dope. 2/5

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jul 31 2024

I can't believe 'Jesus Built My Hotrod' invented Nu metal. Fairly well headbangable. Gets a bit repetitive at times. Some songs feel like they could be a bit shorter. 3/5

Ingenue by k.d. lang
Aug 01 2024

A good voice isn't enough to stop music being boring. What's the point of pop without hooks? 1/5

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Aug 05 2024

Very repetitive. The vocals are very impressive though. Maybe I just don't get this type of music. 2/5

Queen II by Queen
Aug 06 2024

My first full Queen album. It's a whole lot more than than the sum of its parts, which makes me quite excited about their other albums, given how good the hits are. 4/5

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Aug 07 2024

Damn I think this guy liked marijuana. Just kinda the same sound for 40 minutes. 2/5

Aug 09 2024

While I'm a fan of the writing and the melodies, I really dislike the overly shiny production side of things. 3/5

Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento
Aug 11 2024

Pleasant and relaxing but it really starts to drag. 3/5

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Aug 12 2024

The energy in this is absolutely electric. I've not heard much Johnny cash but you can tell that he and everyone involved is having the time of their lives. This was a great experience, even though the music isn't my thing. 4/5

C'est Chic by CHIC
Aug 13 2024

Man I wish they turned Savoir Faire into a full album. The instruments (especially the bass) are fantastic. Most of these tracks would benefit from being cut in half though. 3/5

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Aug 14 2024

Not my style of rock. 2/5

Movies by Holger Czukay
Aug 15 2024

Weird but neat. 3/5

En-Tact by The Shamen
Aug 16 2024

I thought there was potential at first. 2/5

The White Album by Beatles
Aug 17 2024

The album is in two discs on Spotify so I'm going to listen to them separately. A-side: fairly good soft rock. I think my expectations were a bit high, given The Beatles reputation. 3.5/5 B-side: Didn't like it as much, Revolution 9 was really cool though, whatever it was. 3/5 Total: 3/5

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Aug 18 2024

The first song jumpscared me lol. I love how unhinged and raw this album sounds. I appreciate how direct the lyrics are as well. I don't think I've ever been horny enough to give this a 5 though. 4/5

OK Computer by Radiohead
Aug 19 2024

I would love to schedule an appointment with my therapist but they moved to a different city recently 5/5

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Aug 20 2024

Odd, I think I'd like an instrumental version a lot more. 3/5

White Ladder by David Gray
Aug 21 2024

I am struggling to stay awake long enough to listen through this album. It does make for an alright lullaby though. 1/5

Tank Battles by Dagmar Krause
Aug 22 2024

This is bizarre. I am genuinely not sure how I feel about it. I guess I'll give it a decent rating solely due to my never having heard anything like this before. 3/5

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Aug 23 2024

I'm too sick atm to give a good review so. It was a'ight. 3/5

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Aug 25 2024

Fun but waaay too long. 3/5

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
Aug 26 2024

Fairly good noisy rock. Seemingly nothing too special but not a bad way to spend an afternoon. 3/5

All Directions by The Temptations
Aug 27 2024

Sounds all right but it isn't my thing. 2/5

Dog Man Star by Suede
Aug 28 2024

I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Super dramatic and far more melancholic than I've heard from anything else in the genre. Also these lyrics are fantastic. 5/5

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 29 2024

Very over dramatic in places. A lot of good songs too though. 3/5

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Aug 30 2024

This sounds pretty decent for a few songs but man it starts to drag. 2/5

Harvest by Neil Young
Aug 31 2024

Maybe I'm just too young to understand music without bleeps and bloops but this was pretty boring. 2/5

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Sep 01 2024

I like the sound but none of the songs really stuck with me. 3/5

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Sep 04 2024

Oh fuck, Grandpa's off his meds again. 3/5

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Sep 05 2024

Unfortunately relevant today. 4/5

Frampton Comes Alive by Peter Frampton
Sep 08 2024

Good songs played well. I wouldn't choose to listen to this over a studio recorded album but that's just me. 4/5

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Sep 11 2024

The tonal whiplash is pretty wild. Good music though. 4/5

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Sep 12 2024

Fantastic rock album. Love all the details in the back of the music. 5/5

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Sep 13 2024

Alright rock. Nothing too special but that's not a bad thing sometimes. 3/5

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Sep 14 2024

Not my kind of jazz. 2/5

1989 by Taylor Swift
Sep 16 2024

It's fine. 3/5

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Sep 17 2024

Fairly standard rock music. Starts blending together a bit by the end but there's some solid tracks. 3/5

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Sep 18 2024

It sounds quite good, but it's fairly boring. 3/5

Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 20 2024

Incredible atmosphere. 4/5

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Sep 22 2024

Fantastic mix of chill, catchy and complex. 5/5

Sep 23 2024

Should be 5 stars but there's a couple tracks that drag it down into a 4.

So by Peter Gabriel
Sep 24 2024

I expected a bit better given the reviews and the genre, but I just didn't feel a connection for whatever reason. 3/5

A Seat at the Table by Solange
Sep 25 2024

Pretty good vibe. I zoned out a bit, not gonna lie. 3/5

Copper Blue by Sugar
Sep 26 2024

Decent rock, if not a bit generic. The only real standout was Hoover Dam. 3/5

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Sep 27 2024

Not my favorite Metallica album but it's still bloody good. It's status is definitely earned. 4/5

xx by The xx
Sep 28 2024

A decent vibey album. There are more than a few moments where it becomes too sparse in sound though. 3/5

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Sep 29 2024

I don't think I'm qualified to rate this album. Bizarre as hell, but I had fun. 3/5

Van Halen by Van Halen
Sep 30 2024

Fantastic sound, though it could probably be a little better with some more focus on sounding good rather than technical ability. Still great though. 4/5

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 01 2024

It's not truly live so I'll knock it down a point but it's still fun, though somewhat basic, rock. 3/5

21 by Adele
Oct 02 2024

Started to lose me towards the end with the low energy back half but a good album regardless. 3/5

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Oct 04 2024

Fun and weird. The second to last track was pretty boring though. 4/5

Blur by Blur
Oct 06 2024

Started fine but it's not a great sign when an album starts dragging 3 songs in. 2/5

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Oct 07 2024

I can't say that I enjoyed this album exactly, but it was an experience that I'm glad I have had. 3/5

Transformer by Lou Reed
Oct 08 2024

Consistently good and interesting instrumentals, but I don't mesh with the vocals. 3/5

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Oct 10 2024

Goths in their natural habitat. 4/5

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Oct 11 2024

It definitely doesn't deviate from its sound. That would probably be a good thing for somebody who liked the sound. 2/5

London Calling by The Clash
Oct 12 2024

Great album with some weaker tracks. 4/5

Sheet Music by 10cc
Oct 13 2024

There are five songs worth of ideas in each track and they somehow manage to make it work half the time which is fairly impressive. 3/5

Vauxhall And I by Morrissey
Oct 16 2024

Average sad boy indie rock. 3/5

Oct 17 2024

Another British rock band trying to put me to sleep. 2/5

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 19 2024

Not for me

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Nov 15 2024

Good vibes and atmosphere but nothing grabbed me outside of that. 3/5

25 by Adele
Nov 16 2024

It's alright. 3/5

Young Americans by David Bowie
Nov 23 2024

It sounds fine, but it isn't my thing. 2/5

Bad Company by Bad Company
Nov 24 2024

A pretty nothing rock album with some decent moments scattered throughout. 2/5

Abraxas by Santana
Nov 25 2024

Really fun with fantastic guitar. 4/5

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Nov 26 2024

good, but it's not my thing. 3/5

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Nov 29 2024

Disc 1. I'm enjoying this a lot, although the vocals are throwing me off slightly on first listen. 4/5 Disc 2. I got used to the vocals but the second half didn't hold my interest as well as the first. 3.5/5 All together 4/5

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Nov 30 2024

What if elevator music was good?
