Popular Reviews

The Next Day by David Bowie

I was hopeful. I wanted to like it.

1-Star Albums (7)

All Ratings (275)

Van Halen by Van Halen
Oct 18 2024

Familiar sounds. Mostly good.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Oct 21 2024

Enjoyed this one.

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Oct 23 2024

Amy's vocal talent was beyond question. As for the album, I enjoy a few of the selections, but overall I find the style somewhat affected after a while. For me this album will not be one I listen to in its entirety often.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Oct 24 2024

I mostly enjoyed this. Before listening again I would want to learn more about it so I could better appreciate it. I would find a translation of the Portuguese lyrics

Roots by Sepultura
Oct 30 2024

I don't know how to appreciate this variety of metal.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 04 2024

I didn't really enjoy this one. Perhaps I don't understand it enough to appreciate it, or perhaps it's just not my style.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Nov 11 2024

I enjoyed this, but not as much as I thought I would. I think Ray is at his best on live recordings and possibly in some later material. And the jazzy side of this is harder for me to connect with.

Revolver by Beatles
Nov 19 2024

I had never listened to this as an entire album before now. And I didn't know a few of the songs on it. It was fantastic.

Da Capo by Love
Nov 21 2024

This was interesting. I'd never heard it before, and I don't think I'd heard of the group. Some of it was catchy.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Nov 22 2024

I did not enjoy this. There's some real vocal talent on display, but the whole is weaker than the sum of its parts. Sometimes the album seems self-important.

Rio by Duran Duran
Nov 26 2024
Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Dec 03 2024

A very good album, even if I don't listen to it often.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
Dec 04 2024

I don't hate it. I just don't really like it.

Harvest by Neil Young
Dec 06 2024
Dec 09 2024

I was really only familiar with their work like "Low Rider." But this was much more enjoyable. I like it.

Sound Affects by The Jam
Dec 12 2024

I liked it and would listen to it again.

Closer by Joy Division
Dec 18 2024

I don't enjoy this at all.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 06 2025
Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jan 08 2025

This was different. I really enjoyed it and will listen again.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Jan 09 2025

How to rate this? I think it is good, but I don't like it.

90 by 808 State
Jan 23 2025

It's not really bad. I just don't care for it.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Feb 13 2025

I enjoyed this and would listen again.

D by White Denim
Feb 14 2025

I liked this album for about 2/3 of the way through. Then it got a little tiring. I'd listen to some of it again, but not the whole thing.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 25 2025
Celebrity Skin by Hole
Feb 27 2025

Not really for me. Occasionally enjoyable in parts.

Porcupine by Echo And The Bunnymen
Feb 28 2025
Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 04 2025
Green by R.E.M.
Mar 06 2025

A few enjoyable cuts, but as a whole not a standout.

Cross by Justice
Mar 07 2025
good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 10 2025

Difficult. A highly-praised and immensely popular album. It's well-done; some parts sound amazing. I don't foresee coming back to it very often, though.

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 11 2025

I just don't care for this. It's well done, but I won't likely listen again.

Melodrama by Lorde
Mar 14 2025

I enjoyed this more than I anticipated. I would listen to it again.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Mar 31 2025

I was hopeful. I wanted to like it.

Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Apr 03 2025

Mixed feelings here. Do I love it or hate it? Sometimes this is very weird. Sometimes the rock really hums. I might give Hawkwind another try. I'll vote in the middle for now.

Blur by Blur
Apr 08 2025

OK.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 14 2025
Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Apr 16 2025

It's good, but I don't really enjoy Costello's work all that much.

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 17 2025
Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Apr 25 2025

I didn't like the first track. But the album got better as it went. Interesting work.

No Other by Gene Clark
May 07 2025

Mixed.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 09 2025

I really want to give this one 3.5 stars. It's better than 3-stars, certainly.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
May 16 2025
War by U2
Jun 03 2025
Odessa by Bee Gees
Jun 06 2025

I liked it.

Play by Moby
Jun 10 2025
Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 18 2025
Eagles by Eagles
Jun 20 2025
Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 15 2025
OK Computer by Radiohead
Aug 11 2025

I've tried Radiohead once more, and once more I haven't connected with them.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Sep 18 2025
NEU! 75 by Neu!
Sep 24 2025

I enjoyed the instrumental work at the beginning.

Sep 29 2025

There weren't lots of hit singles here, but as an album it works. I didn't think I'd ever listened to it all the way through, and I enjoyed it.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Oct 24 2025
Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Oct 27 2025
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Nov 19 2025
Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 27 2025
Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Dec 17 2025
Sulk by The Associates
Jan 08 2026

I don't like this.

Horses by Patti Smith
Feb 09 2026
Elephant by The White Stripes
Feb 19 2026
Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 24 2026
Mott by Mott The Hoople
Mar 06 2026
Timeless by Goldie
Apr 16 2026

I enjoyed one or two tracks near the beginning as ambient music. By the end, I found it annoying.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 29 2026
Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
May 14 2026
Quiet Life by Japan
Jun 04 2026

Enjoyable, but I won't put it in my regular rotation. The best track was a Velvet Underground cover.

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jun 23 2026

This is an hour of industrial sound effects with very little recognizable as music. Unlistenable.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jul 08 2026
Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jul 15 2026
Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jul 16 2026
