Popular Reviews

Y’all complain about Dwight Yoakam’s vocals but give Thom Yorke a 5 every time he whines over monotone guitar riffs. This at least has a variety of instruments that don’t all sound the same. It’s a 5 to make up for the haters.

Sincere by Mj Cole

This album is a two pack of ass

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Aug 05 2024

Incredible rock opera. Forgot how much I liked this album on my first listen

Ramones by Ramones
Aug 06 2024

I enjoyed it slightly more than the first time I listened. Unfortunately, my main complaint that it was too repetitive is still there. There’s a ton of energy on this record, but I’d rather just listen to The Stooges or The Clash.

American Idiot by Green Day
Aug 07 2024

Being There by Wilco
May 14 2025

This album is just honestly way too long. With that being said, it inspired most of my favorite musicians (Eric Church, Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Isbell, and many others in the country and Americana scene).

Dry by PJ Harvey
May 15 2025
1999 by Prince
May 17 2025

Prince fucked my ear for 1 hour and 10 minutes. The first half of this album is amazing and then it drags towards the end.

Picture Book by Simply Red
May 18 2025

Hopefully I go to heaven, but if not this is the album the devil will use to torture me.

1977 by Ash
May 23 2025
Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
May 26 2025

This album is evidence that the majority going through this challenge like dad rock only. These drums are thumping and the guitars are blaring. It’s fucking weird, but it’s a solid rock and roll album.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
May 28 2025

Every song kind of sounds the same and the vocals get grating after a while. Not the worst music I’ve heard, but definitely generic.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Jul 01 2025

Today I learned a drum can make monkey noises.

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Jul 02 2025

It was indeed not a fantastic day because the generator gave me this abomination to listen to today.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 15 2025
War by U2
Jul 19 2025
Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
Jul 20 2025

I can see why people don’t like this album…. But this is some of the best guitar playing on this entire list…. White noise? Really?

Low by David Bowie
Jul 30 2025
Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 02 2025

I’m so distracted by the lack of melodies and weak singing that it’s hard to find the great songwriting everyone is here for

Groovin' by The Young Rascals
Aug 03 2025
Eagles by Eagles
Aug 06 2025
Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Aug 08 2025
Aug 11 2025

It’s good at what it does, but it sounds like music played in the background of an aquarium.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Aug 20 2025
Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 24 2025

These songs meander and feel like they go on forever.

Dookie by Green Day

Rapture by Anita Baker
Oct 29 2025

For such an amazing singer and the fact this is a soul record, it’s really devoid of any soul.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Nov 02 2025

Just what I wanted! A 69 song album with a run time of 2:30 hours of songs that all sound the same!

Aja by Steely Dan
Nov 14 2025
Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Nov 15 2025

Didn’t do a whole lot for me. The vocals grew on me a marginal amount and the music behind it was good enough to be productive listening to it as background music.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Nov 16 2025

Not the worst thing I’ve ever listened to, but nothing I care to revisit either.

S&M by Metallica
Nov 18 2025
Nov 22 2025

Y’all complain about Dwight Yoakam’s vocals but give Thom Yorke a 5 every time he whines over monotone guitar riffs. This at least has a variety of instruments that don’t all sound the same. It’s a 5 to make up for the haters.

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Nov 23 2025
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Nov 24 2025

This is what Sgt. Peppers would sound like if it was made in the 2000s by far less talented musicians.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
Nov 25 2025

Sometimes during this journey you just have to give a 1 and move on with your life.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Nov 28 2025

A lot of the music here is solid. I’m just not a fan of the vocals

Pretenders by Pretenders
Nov 29 2025

I’m obviously missing something here.

Nowhere by Ride
Dec 02 2025

Do you like listening to the same song over and over again, because if so, I sure do have a suggestion for you!

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Dec 04 2025

Woah did I just hear the opening riff of Flying Whales in Abstieg and Zerfall? Anyways…. Now I’m listening to Gojira instead of this and enjoying my time more.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Dec 05 2025
Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Dec 07 2025

I listened. Sounds were made.

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Dec 15 2025
Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Dec 18 2025

Not sure what to make of this. Sounds like a Captain Beefheart parody most of the time.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 20 2025
90 by 808 State
Dec 21 2025

Ah yes, an album that has the most annoying noises ever created…. And yet somehow it’s on this list

Faith by George Michael
Dec 22 2025
Bummed by Happy Mondays
Dec 23 2025
London Calling by The Clash
Dec 24 2025

Any album that has a song as good as Train in Vain is a 5 in my book.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Dec 26 2025
Dec 28 2025

If this album was more entertaining, I’d start a rumor that this is actually a Coldplay album. But no one here in America cares about or likes this type of music, and I’ll forget about this in music in 15 minutes anyways.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Jan 09 2026
Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 10 2026
Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 12 2026

After listening to several post Kid A Radiohead albums from this project, I’ve learned that Yorke’s vocals annoy me when the music isn’t heavily guitar based.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Jan 18 2026
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jan 25 2026
Jan 28 2026

My favorite modern artists like Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Turnpike Troubadours, Jason Isbell, and many many others wouldn’t be making music without this album. It’s perfect.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Mar 03 2026

A little too slow for my tastes…. But still a very strong country album.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Mar 09 2026

The guitar tones and drumming are perfect on this album.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Mar 11 2026

There’s a bunch of ideas here, and none of them hit well. This is a full album of Paul McCartney joke songs and the Wiki says they were inspired by his drum set… so that checks out.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Mar 13 2026

This 1000% deserves to be heard. That doesn’t mean I liked it.

Da Capo by Love
Mar 15 2026

Revelation is a damn 20 minute banger.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Mar 19 2026

I feel like I’m being too harsh giving this a 1, but there’s a few factors. The singing is distracting from any good songwriting that may be here. The music behind this is quite boring and does not add to any songwriting. In fact, it takes more a way. Finally, this is so boring that I kept checking how many songs were left when it’s only a 36 minute album.

Henry's Dream by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 20 2026

This album starts out pretty rough. Seems like Nick Cave was trying too hard on some of these vocals. Then mid-way through Nick Cave does a great job of creating the ominous gothic style he is so great at. Let Love In is a better album though.

Mar 21 2026

This album really overstayed its welcome. Too long and nothing interesting here.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Mar 23 2026

An extra point for being 16 minutes long

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Mar 25 2026

Cohen is a storyteller, lyricist, and poet. Not a singer and honestly, not even a proficient musician. All of this being said, the beauty of his words shine throughout this album.

New Forms by Roni Size
Mar 26 2026

I just do not see how Drum and Bass belongs on this list. Maybe I’m just ignorant… but definitely seems like one of the few genres in this list that takes the least amount of talent to make.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Mar 29 2026

Very average, but nothing extremely wrong with it.

Lost Souls by Doves
Mar 30 2026

It was fine. Felt surprisingly quick for a 59 minute album. It became background noise as I was tidying up…. And many others have said the same which sums up its worthiness to be on this list.

Timeless by Goldie
Apr 01 2026

“This is a Bad” on track 4 accurately describes this album. At its best, which is the beginning of every track, it sounds like video game menu music. Then these drums kick in and they do absolutely nothing for you because the music behind it is soulless. If someone told me this was created by AI, I’d damn near believe them. Timeless piece of a company’s holding music or a hotel’s elevator music.

1989 by Taylor Swift
Apr 02 2026
Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 04 2026

Worth listening to for any Motorhead fan to hear the beginning of Lemmy. Unlike any Motorhead song though, these are not straight to the point. It’s filled with 8 minute jams with Lemmys playing and synths that are outer worldly. Not bad by any means, but it’s extremely long and all of disc 1 sounds similar.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Apr 05 2026

This is truly atrocious. The most aggressive British guy singing like he’s a drunk man on a cruise about being bricked up over disco beats. How the fuck did people like this at the time?

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Apr 07 2026
Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Apr 09 2026

This guy is one of the best singers I’ve ever heard… was the original king of soul… is in the Rock Hall of Fame and somehow is still criminally underrated. The last three songs aren’t as strong as the beginning of the album, but it’s still damn good 60’s soul music.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Apr 10 2026

Listening to an angry Slovenian man yell “Life is Life” in my ears are the moments I started going this list for

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Apr 11 2026

This album was heading straight towards a 5 and then it fell off hard after King of New York. Still a fun listen overall.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Apr 16 2026

Not bad by any means, but not something I’ll revisit most likely. Southeastern by Jason Isbell is more of my vibe for sad singer/songwriter songs.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Apr 17 2026

Who cares if this is dad rock. It still fucks.

Cross by Justice
Apr 20 2026
Amnesiac by Radiohead
Apr 25 2026

Track seven and I can’t take this shit anymore. I’ll never understand why people love this band so much.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Apr 28 2026

Maybe the most peaceful album I’ve ever listened to

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Apr 30 2026

There are so many incredible songs in here. Fun moments like Jungle… but it does become tedious at times.

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
May 03 2026

Her singing talent is undeniable on this album. But you have to get past mid 2000’s R&B and pop production and some rough tracks like “Thank You (Dedication to the Fans….) which comes across as pretentious ego stroking, even though I don’t think that was the point and “Nasty Naughty Boy” which features immature moaning on the song. 2.5

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
May 04 2026

I had a good time with this. Yes it’s dated, but it’s a damn good time too

Mott by Mott The Hoople
May 05 2026

There’s some amazing guitar work on this album. The vocals were a bit too harsh for me though.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
May 07 2026

Fantastic soul and funk record.

Quiet Life by Japan
May 09 2026

Average, but not bad. I can see how a new wave album released in 1979 is extremely influential.

Signing Off by UB40
May 13 2026

The audio equivalent of ordering jerk chicken but receiving chicken seasoned with only salt and pepper.

May 14 2026

I enjoyed this. Would have liked to have rocked out a little more, but these are very proficient musicians.

May 15 2026

If you’ve heard even one of Coldplay’s biggest hits, you’ve heard everything this album has to offer
