Popular Reviews

Pump by Aerosmith

I have a lot of nostalgia for this album. When I got my first CD player this was one of the three albums I bought (I’m sure one of the other two will be on this list, and the other one won’t.) As the years went on I became less and less interested in 90s Aerosmith, so when this came up I was sure I wouldn’t like it. But to my surprise, it was the same banger 13 year old me got for Christmas.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker

I am trying to determine if I actively dislike this album, or if am just indifferent to it. Seems like a 1 if that is my thought process.

Oct 21 2024

I remember really loving this album when it came out. That being said, this was exhausting to listen to. Definitely a band that does not subscribe to less is more.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Oct 22 2024

Enjoyable, if a little slow for my personal test. Nice palate cleanser compared to Muse yesterday. Gotta love “River” I don’t imagine this is an album I will be revisiting.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Oct 23 2024

The Weight is a great song, and I found myself enjoying this entire album. I really enjoyed the instrumentation. Got to love organ in rock music.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 24 2024

An iconic album. That being said, not a huge Bruce fan.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Oct 25 2024

I love the story behind this album, and as it started I loved the sound. That being said, can’t imagine listening to it again.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 29 2024

I come back to this album at least a couple of times a year. This is high school for me. I never became one of those folks to follows every album Pearl Jam does, but this album will always be great to me.

Oct 30 2024

I wanted to like this movie more than I did. Kick, Push was a breath of fresh air in my admittedly narrow experience in hip hop. That being said, I am not a fan of the more is more style of production on this album.

Melodrama by Lorde
Oct 31 2024

Another album I wanted to like more than I did. I generally like her singing voice, but overall I thought it was a dull album. Early on I thought to myself that this sounded similar to some Taylor Swift at points, and sure enough, same producer.

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
Nov 01 2024

I liked some of it, but in the end the “soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist” experiment doesn’t work.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Nov 05 2024

If a single RATM song pops up on a playlist, I enjoy it. Give me an entire albums worth and it just becomes monotonous.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Nov 06 2024

I missed out on Sleater-Kinney in the 90’s (somehow it wasn’t listened to a bunch in the frat house) but have started listening to them as they’ve been putting out new albums. Gotta say I’m a fan.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Nov 07 2024

I recognize how one of a kind Missy Elliot is, and The Rain is a great song with a great video. Beyond that, not an album I’m going to throw on again.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Nov 08 2024

I am trying to determine if I actively dislike this album, or if am just indifferent to it. Seems like a 1 if that is my thought process.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Nov 11 2024

It’s stayed in my head all weekend long.

In Utero by Nirvana
Nov 15 2024

Nevermind never really did it for me, but I always loved this album.

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
Nov 20 2024

When you talk to people who grew up with iTunes and Spotify and talk about what things were like back when we bought albums, this is one of the albums I think about. You hear one song on the radio or MTV, you like it, then you have to decide, do I want to spend $15 for the album with a chance the rest of the album is no good. Like this one! Luckily I never bought it. However, when I was in college the Cardigans came through town and I went to see them. I was thoroughly unimpressed. Luckily for me, then we opening for Beck, who was amazing.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Nov 21 2024

Not as bad as I thought it might be, but won’t go back.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Nov 22 2024

I listened to this as it was intended to be listened to: through my speakerphone speaker while drafting a letter in my office.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Nov 25 2024

Meh

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 26 2024

Really enjoyed this one

The Libertines by The Libertines
Nov 28 2024

Moderately unenjoyable background music which surprises me since I like many of their contemporaries

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 29 2024

Yeah, I really didn’t care for this one

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Dec 02 2024

Two double albums in a row and they couldn’t be more different. Loved it!
