Popular Reviews

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

They sure yell a lot. Probably why I liked it so much as an 8 year old.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon

Surely one of the best second albums of all time. It's a pity they suck now

1-Star Albums (8)

All Ratings (109)

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Sep 26 2024

Pretty good. Not as heavy as I thought it would be but lots of fun. Nothing really stood out but I'll give it another listen for sure.

Sep 27 2024

It was good. A few classics, a few hidden gems. I'll listen again. Drive was my favourite that I hadn't heard before.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Sep 30 2024

Great album, almost a five. A few classics, a few I haven't heard. Green river is the best on the album which means it is all downhill from the start though

American Idiot by Green Day
Oct 01 2024

DNF. Doesn't belong on this list. I like pop punk as much as the next guy but this is easy boring music.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
Oct 02 2024

Lots of fun. I haven't listened to a lot of Motown so it might take a few listens to get it.

Oct 04 2024

I loved it. Some absolute classic Nirvana songs and all time covers. I don't know why people don't talk about the man who sold the world cover more.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Oct 07 2024

Not for me. A couple of classics but it really dragged on and on. Didn't have a theme I could get around. Struggled to get through this one.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Oct 08 2024

Pretty good. Nothing blowing my mind though.

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Oct 09 2024

Finally a true five star album. I'd give it six if I could. She's made something that tells so many stories, all of them unique with their own songs but they all work together so well. The colour of the earth is the most beautiful, moving war song I've ever heard. I've never had an emotional response to an album like I still have to this one.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Oct 10 2024

This thing just kept going and going. A few good songs and it was pretty fun but why didn't someone tell him to take it easy?

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 11 2024

I really liked it. The album was far more interesting and experimental than I expected based just on the hits. I'll give this one a few more spins.

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Oct 14 2024

Great album. John Safran was totally wrong about Tribe and I blame him for preventing me from listening to this for so long.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Oct 15 2024

Starts really strong but falls off. Mostly filler by the end. Only just a three.

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Oct 16 2024

A true classic. It's hard not to give it five but there are a few always skips which bring it down. Also not as good as Good Kid.

Stankonia by OutKast
Oct 17 2024

I loved it. I think this could be a five but I'm going to need to give it a few more listens. Pop, hip hop and rap all there working together beautifully.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
Oct 18 2024

Surely one of the best second albums of all time. It's a pity they suck now

That's The Way Of The World by Earth, Wind & Fire
Oct 21 2024

I liked it and I want to listen again. It's a good time album so looking forward to enjoying it in some sunny weather.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Oct 22 2024

I didn't recognise the name but I recognised plenty of the songs. This was great, maybe I'm a disco guy? I'll definitely listen again

The Doors by The Doors
Oct 23 2024

This was a tough one. Some absolute classics that still sound amazing with some of the worst songs I've heard in a while to fill in the gaps.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Oct 24 2024

This is another album with some beautiful songs but a lot of this is bad. I have a hard time figuring out when I'm supposed to listen to this one. It feels a bit like two albums mushed together.

Bossanova by Pixies
Oct 25 2024

This was boring.

Oct 28 2024

This is probably a prospective five but this album demands to be registered to over and over. It's exciting and interesting.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Oct 29 2024

They sure yell a lot. Probably why I liked it so much as an 8 year old.

Suzanne Vega by Suzanne Vega
Oct 30 2024

Not for me. The talk singing was weird and the rest was pretty dull.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Nov 01 2024

Great album. A bit more bluesy than I expected. I'll come back to give it more time in the future.

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Nov 05 2024

I'm very grateful for Little Richard's service to rock and roll but I think we've moved on.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Nov 06 2024

This was alright. I think I need to listen a few more times to make up my mind but I liked the strong 90s sound

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Nov 07 2024

I don't know this was fun and annoying at the same time.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Nov 08 2024

Had some good moments but this is more background music for me.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Nov 11 2024

It was alright. Not enough songs about trains though.

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Nov 12 2024

This used to be one of my favourite albums so I was excited when it came up. I didn't like it that much almost two decades later. Interesting how tastes change.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Nov 13 2024

Do people really like the whole album or just a few songs? I suppose I can appreciate the innovation but that's about it. They sure sang about some weird stuff.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Nov 14 2024

The title is misleading because the album is actually good. Just glad I could seperate the art from the artist.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Nov 15 2024

There were a couple of decent ones in here but the voice was a bit overpowering.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Nov 18 2024

It's still a fun album. It's a real shame seven nation army is on here though because I never want to hear it again.

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Nov 20 2024

This was interesting and I'm going to listen to more of their stuff, but I can't believe this is their best album.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Nov 21 2024

Come on people, it's Michael Jackson

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Nov 22 2024

This is a great album, maybe a bit long. I can only imagine how much better it would have been if he'd taken some of Charlie Manson's advice on board.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Nov 26 2024

I liked it. I think I need a few more listens

The Undertones by The Undertones
Nov 27 2024

That was great! Why haven't I heard it before? Better than the Ramones and all those other guys.

Midnight Ride by Paul Revere & The Raiders
Nov 28 2024

Not for me

xx by The xx
Nov 29 2024

This was a bit more boring than I remember but it's still great. It was a revelation when I was in uni.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Dec 03 2024

This would be fun at a jazz and wine festival with a lot of wine. Unfortunately I'm at work with no wine

The Predator by Ice Cube
Dec 11 2024

Funny he pretty much exclusively plays cops now

Let It Be by The Replacements
Dec 13 2024

This was great. I want to give this another listen over the summer

Guero by Beck
Dec 16 2024

Pretty good but it's not even in Beck's best three albums

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Dec 17 2024

Some interesting stuff but some stuff that sounded boring too. I think it needs a few listens.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 18 2024
Dookie by Green Day
Dec 20 2024
Rapture by Anita Baker
Dec 25 2024

Not for me.

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Dec 27 2024

Not on YouTube music so couldn't listen

Doolittle by Pixies
Jan 14 2025

Got some great songs but a couple of duda too

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jan 15 2025

Loved it. Will listen again.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Jan 17 2025

I couldn't finish this what's it doing here?

Rio by Duran Duran
Jan 21 2025

A bit of fun

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jan 22 2025

It was pretty good. A few good ones I'd forgotten. Can't say it's an album I'll go back to though

Music by Madonna
Jan 23 2025

Skip

The Score by Fugees
Jan 27 2025

It seems fine just not for me.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Oct 10 2025

This was fun. I'm always surprised by the stranglers

So Much For The City by The Thrills
Oct 17 2025

I used to really like big sur when I was a teenager but that album was painful

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Oct 21 2025

Pretty strong a side but it fizzles out a bit

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Oct 23 2025

It was nice, but it all sounded the same after a while

Blackstar by David Bowie
Oct 24 2025

It was fine

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Oct 30 2025

This was great! A real discovery of exciting new music. I can't wait to listen to more Jane

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Oct 31 2025

Not her best but I liked what she was trying to do.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Nov 06 2025

Pretty fun. Probably would have listened more earlier in my life.

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Nov 24 2025

One good song and they blew it in the trailer for the movie

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Dec 03 2025

It would have been cool to hear this when it came out.

Play by Moby
Dec 05 2025
Debut by Björk
Dec 08 2025
Juju by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Dec 11 2025
