Popular Reviews

Arrival by ABBA

Unpopular opinion : everybody is peer pressured or family pressured, and pretends to like ABBA. And since show up in your life so often, that you connect ABBA to fun-ish moments, until the brainwashing is complete.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac

I hear fleetwood mac all the time at friends' places... I feel like it's too simple, too clean, too rehearsed, too one dimensional to me...

Vespertine by Björk

All Ratings (276)

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 29 2024

Really enjoyed Papa Was A Rolling Stone! The rest of the album was worth a listen too.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jul 30 2024

I hate that Marvin Gaye is super cool, and that probably my grandma liked him as well. Am I becoming my grandma?💀

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jul 31 2024

I understand that this lady had a unique voice and meant something (less sexual, more punky) in the feminist waves of her time. However. I’m very allergic to this lady’s voice…

Aug 05 2024

Musically it is lovely. Lauryn has a great voice. I didn’t know she could reach the Mariah Carey notes! Tho sometimes the songs are too screamy for me. I also don’t feel hood enough for this, somehow.

Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto
Aug 07 2024

I could listen to this on a sunny lazy day :) and dance by myself and have a cute time

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 13 2024
Yeezus by Kanye West
Aug 15 2024

Kan-ye or Kan-nay? Honestly, had a laugh listening to this album, and black skinhead is a cool song. I was entertained by his stupidity.

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Aug 16 2024

Stevie lost me when he demanded my smile. Oh Stevie, how the times have changed.

Blur by Blur
Aug 19 2024

Song 2 is brilliant obviously, but the rest felt really complainey.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Aug 20 2024

Hate the voice, love the musicality.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Aug 21 2024

I feel like Lou looked hard at the Berliner scene, but was unable to incorporate it well. Also, his ‘singing’ is so understated… he’s just reading poetry 🙈

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 22 2024

Yes.

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 23 2024

Ahhh the 80ies. Adorably tame by today’s measures, and very entertaining! I giggled lots 😆

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Aug 26 2024

If I’d be a guy living in the 70ies, I’d have my own kind of groovy. Would wear cowboy boots with a bit of heel, V shirts showing a tiny nip of chest hair and a fitted gilet, have my hair in a male bouffant, walk like I own the place, ooooooze manliness and would take great notes from Muddy Waters 🥲

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Aug 28 2024

Yeah ok, I get it.... wibbedy scribbedy wack wacka wibbedy wack, *spit lyrics* bang head* low pants * high gimmicks. Very high shock value, no real musicality. I'm disgusted by the gynecologist song. More misogyny. Would like to hear - ripping the penis open and inserting things inside it- version of this.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Aug 30 2024

I dunno. It would be too much to say that Kanye is growing on me. But this album was really funny :D And unfortunately, very catchy too. In summary: feeling blissful, not giving a fuck, and looking for my new job as a drug dealer

Liquid Swords by GZA
Sep 02 2024

Okay. I get bored by very short loops. However, I also, really appreciate the lyricality and poetry here. I can't say I fully grasp what they're saying, but it sure flows with the beat!

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Sep 05 2024

Felt generic. Who knows, maybe all the bands we know stole their sound in 1980, but how would we know. Not very interesting, is fine. Feed me uniqueness. I'm hungry.

Queen II by Queen
Sep 09 2024

Would like their good stuff

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Sep 10 2024

Ah yes. The epitome of the genre dad rock. I appreciate the heavy guitar solos, the drums, the sound. Visually, I appreciate young Robert Plant's long curly hair, the bare chest outfits, the oversized buckle belts, obviously attracting the eyes to the sexual bits. Emotional cries into the microphone. Lots of theatrical drama. I just... I like all that on mute XD. Robert Plant's voice annoys the heck out of me.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Sep 11 2024

Enjoyed this! Appreciated the country jazz and rock vibes

Sep 23 2024

Em taught me a lot about life at a very young age. I thought he was pretty cool, growing up. What did I know, I was a kid and he was loud and nonconformist, daring to do and say shocking things angry kids can only fantasize about. His songs are still amazing. But now looking back, I have the mental ability to recognize this the impact of this album in the golden era of rap misogyny and glorification of homophobia. For Em, I can easily trace it back to his mommy issues, to being bullied, and to growing up in bad environments.

Imagine by John Lennon
Sep 24 2024

It's cute.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Sep 27 2024

13:10. Very interesting sound. I hadn't taken real time to listen to David Bowie before. I don't really like his voice at all. 13:22. David Bowie confuses me. I think this album deserves my full attention to actually take in what is happening. 13:35. Was this zeitgeist, or just drugs? Or both, of course. 13:41. I think I enjoyed this. But I'm not sure. 13:45. I really appreciate the sound and the band and the musicality. I think the lyrics are good. Couldn't care less about the voice. I think I'm intrigued.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Sep 30 2024

I enjoy exploring humans in all their nuances and in all their ranges of emotional expression. I think the singer songwriter genre is a perfect vehicle for exploring the human condition, including melancholy. Thought it was a nice study, an interesting human, and quality songwriting.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 01 2024

Sounds very generic

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Oct 02 2024

I thought this was quite cute! I hope they danced to this in in sepia tones in 1985 :) I....could like this. I think.

OK by Talvin Singh
Oct 04 2024

I was there too, the places Marco mentioned. We said नमस्ते to each other while floating into space

The Cars by The Cars
Oct 08 2024

I really enjoyed this album. Yes, very tame, very non-unique, but it truly suited my mood and was equally pleasant in the background too.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Oct 09 2024

Yeah. Darkness, disconnect, isolation, paranoia. And lots of tenderness and catharsis.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Oct 11 2024

I felt that, when Eva articulated her love to Wall-e in that 3rd song

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Oct 15 2024

What can I say. My dad was a musician so we had jazz, classical and world music on in the kitchen pretty much every day. I deeply adore Herbie Hancock, and this album is spectacular. My soul feels nourished, touched and tingled in all the right ways.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Oct 16 2024

Really enjoyed it <3

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

I started out happily listening, but felt drained and irritated by the end. Too repetitive, and hitting the same notes for a whole album. Beautiful and confident voices though, and great lyrical content of course. And hot guys too.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Oct 22 2024

Not entirely my tea but quite open to it :) enjoyed!

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Oct 24 2024

Ah, creating the stereotypes. It's good, but it tired me out. I guess I find it too safe Between 2 and 3 stars for me

So by Peter Gabriel
Oct 25 2024

Love this guys voice

Kid A by Radiohead
Oct 30 2024

Yeap

Sex Packets by Digital Underground
Oct 31 2024

In the first 3 seconds, "Do me baby" . Got immediately tired of it, and the rest of the lyrics followed raunchy suit. It's cute and nothing new, hip-hip-hopping, rhyming and bopping, I wish someone be stopping you.... When you have a stereotype you adhere to, you're just fearful to stand out and be yourself. History does not remember the forgettable.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 01 2024

Alright. Collective angst, loss, grief, existentialism, faith, healing, love... It seems silly to say anything about this album at all. From one sensitive human to another, I recognize you.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Nov 05 2024

This album needs remastering, the elements run into each other…it hurts my ears… other than that, it’s a lovely album 👍

Brothers by The Black Keys
Nov 06 2024
Graceland by Paul Simon
Nov 11 2024

Paul Simon 😊🌸

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen

1984 by Van Halen

Jump :)

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Nov 19 2024

Rikki don’t lose that numbah 💯 This passes the great-grandpa-enjoys-my-rock-album test, and I’m not mad about it

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison
Nov 20 2024

One star for the flute and minus a star for the articulation and Just not for me

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Nov 21 2024

Not for me

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Nov 26 2024

Well jump a shark long in the tooth. By golly, I will use you! This will be my scene music for stereotypical middle class American old folks, in white picket fence romance, apple pie !

Goo by Sonic Youth
Nov 28 2024

Good for what it is. My younger punk self would probs appreciate.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Dec 03 2024

I grew up with this :p

Traffic by Traffic
Dec 04 2024

Really beatlesque. Not bad

Scum by Napalm Death
Dec 05 2024

I found it hilarious 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Dec 10 2024

Stolen black music. Rocks.

Guero by Beck
Dec 11 2024

Ugh, Beck. This album seemed more interesting than the others. Maybe interesting is not the word. In any case, it was less depressing, a bit faster. Some songs reminded me of Nickleback and I can’t stand them either.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Dec 12 2024

Beatlesque, and I wish there was a bit more variety per song

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Dec 16 2024

Yeah. Indeed yeah. I get the intent and energy, it’s just not very listenable to me. Annoying high pitch screaming and irritating sexualized voice tricks.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Dec 20 2024

Soothing I guess. It's like having a younger sister in Tennessee. I can block out what she says due to the accent, and what remains is pleasant and soothing. A bit gimmicky. I feel like this could be a radio channel on the Sims.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Dec 23 2024

I enjoyed Live Forever, and Supersonic but in general I feel like Oasis is incredibly repetitive. I feel like all songs could be cut in half. I do appreciate their musicality in general. It also seems very much a product of its time. In general I like the starts of all the songs on this album, up until the singer starts.

Arrival by ABBA
Dec 30 2024

Unpopular opinion : everybody is peer pressured or family pressured, and pretends to like ABBA. And since show up in your life so often, that you connect ABBA to fun-ish moments, until the brainwashing is complete.

Boston by Boston
Dec 31 2024
Jan 01 2025

My score is really 3.5 From modern perspective it sounds like they constantly hold back :D Also you just need to be in the pit at the concert, not at home with a cup of tea listening on the couch. Appreciated the live tracks. I love live recordings in general, love hearing the audience's responses. I didn't have patience to finish disk 2, it became repetitive at some point. Also feels like a product of its time. Tho it aged well :)

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jan 02 2025

😊

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 06 2025

"It was a Crawling nightmare, but I kept Breaking the Habit and took One Step Closer to a Papercut I didn’t see coming. I was stuck in Somewhere I Belong, trying to figure out why In the End it all felt like a Points of Authority meeting. A Place for My Head seemed far away, but I had to remember that Pushing Me Away wasn’t an option. So I just kept on With You, hoping that I’d find the strength to keep Numb until I finally broke free!"

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jan 07 2025

Don't listen to Marco, you rock Aretha.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
Jan 08 2025

lmao 🤣

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jan 20 2025

A bit nasal and monotonous but overall okay

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 21 2025

This is an iconic album, and was played like a million times at home. It's an album I couldn't dislike even if I wanted to. I can dream these pieces in detail, forward and backwards. Honestly, I adore the rhythm changes, the grand roomy feeling of the recording, the snappiness of the players... I can't not be in love with this album. I can't even walk regularly with this album on. Every part of my body vibes along.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 22 2025

At some point I was a bassist in a band that tried to emulate the MTV unplugged songs of AiC, including a heavily addicted guitarist and a permanently heartbroken singer. Those were the days.

Dummy by Portishead
Jan 24 2025
Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jan 27 2025

I just don't like it.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jan 28 2025

I just don't like it.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jan 29 2025

I liked song 6 🤭...

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Feb 03 2025

Lust for Life made me very cheerful.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 04 2025

happy tunes + sad lyrics + consistently fragile, hauntingly vulnerable singer = shotgun through the heart

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Feb 06 2025

the voice vibrato at the high tones throws me off.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Feb 07 2025

cute 😊

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Feb 10 2025

I like his voice a lot

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Feb 12 2025

Imagine them performing the same repetitive album every week or so.

The Score by Fugees
Feb 18 2025

tbh the lyrics are sometimes quite lame, but the rest makes up for it

Tommy by The Who
Feb 24 2025
Kenya by Machito
Feb 26 2025

the remaster still sounded bad

Tical by Method Man
Feb 28 2025

'sfleafzy'... mc Articulation Distorder

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Mar 03 2025

I hear fleetwood mac all the time at friends' places... I feel like it's too simple, too clean, too rehearsed, too one dimensional to me...

Mar 04 2025

finally some live albums. I adore live albums... I'd like more live albums. Live albums rock!

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Mar 06 2025

Lenny has some great songs. but not many on this album.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Mar 07 2025
Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Mar 10 2025

🩸🍩👨‍❤️‍💋👄✨🪄 Flea is a fucking badass

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Mar 11 2025

Younger Elvis is still growing his giddy cheeky sexiness. Found this album really serious. But appreciate the perfectionism.

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Mar 12 2025

These seem like movie tunes to me.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Mar 13 2025

I had a really funny roadtrip with a friend where he pretended to be the singer of the Smiths, it was hilarious, now I can't unhear him anymore 😄

Vespertine by Björk

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Mar 20 2025

queuing up at the chippy, telling the queen where to shove it, and wearing your best Union Jack vest to every festival

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Mar 21 2025

BROOOO THEY HAVE A BLACK DUDE IN THE BAND?!?! AND ON THE COVER?!?! IN 1971?!!!! BIG PROPS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Also really mellow, I’d listen to this in the car for a long ride :)

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Mar 22 2025

Cringing out 🤢😭

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 23 2025

He’s a great singer. The tunes are catchy. Great piano player. I’m just personally not into this I think. I guess it feels like nothing he says sticks unless you want it to. I feel like every second is theatre and overblown, there’s never a different vibe or volume. I could try to like this. Maybe it’s the accent too

Slipknot by Slipknot
Mar 24 2025

Didn’t realize how much of a nu-metal sound this already had in that time. I’m infinitely entertained by metal, but I tend to automatically phase out the lyrics, or mishear them to comical effect. This was great! (Liberate bananas!) Also the drums sound very tribal and organic at times, very clean too. Beautiful! 3.5

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Mar 25 2025

Sounds like Air, animal collective, tame impala at times, yeah yeah yeahs at times. Tho distinctly American. Enjoyed it!

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Mar 26 2025

Starting off, the cover set the stage and made me very sad, because it's very true. The whole album and its commentary is incredibly bleak and real. I'm not sure if I should dance, cry my eyes out, refuse to cry my eyes out, write a manifesto, become as cynical and disillusioned and plan to overtake the world, or become as cynical and disillusioned and fade into history like this band. Then I googled(well, perplexitied) and saw that their guitarist and apparently the creative core of the group had produced records for RHCP. This is a spectacular album in terms of political commentary. Probably I’ll not listen to this again, but I'm happy I was introduced to this!

Faith by George Michael
Mar 28 2025

Back when George Michael did his utmost best to be Michael Jackson

Mar 30 2025

Half the band members on the album cover looks like they’re floating on another planet🐸 I liked this album more than I’m willing to admit

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Apr 01 2025

I didn’t like the remastering quality. They prob have better albums.

Odessa by Bee Gees
Apr 04 2025

BGs expired tbh

Debut by Björk
Apr 08 2025

Björk when she still believed in beats. 🦑

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 09 2025

Bruce sounds like he could have a mental breakdown at any moment@Born to Run. This whole album seems therapy focused. I feel like I'm too young and innocent to take in the life traumas of this older gentleman.

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Apr 11 2025

I'm utterly brainwashed by Russian Doll, so yeah.. 5

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Apr 14 2025

It's great for what it is supposed to be. Not my thing tho

Microshift by Hookworms
Apr 16 2025

adored the first 1:16, the voice and the rest is subpar

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Apr 21 2025

This was fun, tho that guy really can’t reach the high notes without forcing, couldn’t really relisten.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence

Emperor Tomato Ketchup by Stereolab
May 01 2025

This was different for different’s sake. I’ll give a whole point extra for novelty.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
May 02 2025

This was confusing

Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 03 2025

I remember these guys from the radio.

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
May 04 2025

Ok so in all reality I hate The Greatest Dancer with a passion, the singer cannot count and sings off beat the whole fucking song it triggers all my homicidal itches Some songs are palatable

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 05 2025

I used to be really into Tricky, because of Massive Attack and my massive trip hop phase at some point. I wonder what the dude does these days. Oh I see, he released a song called "Where are you Lately", it does slap in its usual brooding, darkly sensual way.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 06 2025

I actually really appreciated this (hi Marco!). Simple and clean. Beautiful voice. Mindblowing that this is from '71.

May 07 2025

This album is a favourite from my childhood so I'm biased.

Let's Get Killed by David Holmes
May 09 2025

Pretty exceptional on this list, a film score artist

Harvest by Neil Young
May 10 2025

I love the remastering, what a beautiful clear and bright sound! I'm just not a big fan of the voice and accent.

BEYONCÉ by Beyoncé
May 15 2025

It works for what it does. Also Babak should have put a ring on it 😂

California by American Music Club

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jun 05 2025

It be smooth and sexy, in a bald and black kind of way. this is 1969, bloody hell. This sound still lives strong.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jun 07 2025

How beautifully they collectively sense each other out and give each other space lmao Marco XD

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
