White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Oct 29 2024

Wasn't too bad. Some good tunes, some familiar tunes. 4/5.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Oct 30 2024

Not terrible. Some songs are definitely overplayed on the radio. Ah, here we go with the shitty rapping. CRAWLING IN MY SKIN! Not bad, but not great. 3.5/5, rounded up to 4.

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Oct 31 2024

A little mellow for my liking. A little too folksy for my liking, too. The Boxer has some interesting bass brass sounds (?) at the end, starting at about the 4:20 mark. Baby Driver - ew. Mouth farting noises are next level bad.

Nov 01 2024

Annoyingly yee-haw from the beginning. Any amount of mouth harmonica is too much mouth harmonica. All of these songs sound the fucking same. It's Alright Ma - Monotonous delivery, unpleasant voice, and it's fucking 7 minutes long. Wow. Glad it's over. 1/5.

My Generation by The Who
Nov 05 2024

Off to an energetic start. Also, so many versions of this album! And is that Marylin Manson on the cover under the "Who"? I know it's not, but daym. Not exactly my thing, but not terrible. I can see the appeal, and should explore more. 3.5/4 but closer to 4. At least it didn't get annoying like Bob Dyldo did.

Fragile by Yes
Nov 06 2024

Ooh this is where that riff is coming from! Groovy! Energetic for the most part. Not bad at all.

The Predator by Ice Cube
Nov 07 2024

Very aggressive. The opening to the first song is unnecessary. A lot of the spoken word stuff on this album is not necessary. Some rhymes are lazy. Repetitive. Got boring. I don't care about the lyrics, nor do I relate to them. Dull. Probably was important back in the day, but won't be returning to this.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Nov 08 2024

28 songs in 41 minutes? Impressive. Starts off not terribly, but what is that background noise? Not terrible at all. Not something I'd listen on a regular basis, but not offensive to my musical sensibilities. Ex-Supermodel - is someone snoring in this song? Ok, it's beginning to get mildly offensive. Still, not the worst bodily sound to include in the song. Wasn't terrible overall. 3.5/5, kinda want this site to have granular ratings (stars are just silly), but oh well.

Back In Black by AC/DC
Nov 11 2024

Daym he SCREECHES. But the booty rocks to the rhythm. I have a feeling that this has influenced at least some of Electric Six. Honestly, quite a bit better than I expected. Won't be listening to this on repeat, but did not hate the experience.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Nov 12 2024

Nice change after AC/DC. Pleasantly melodic. But the age is felt. Jazzy, but not overly so. Fun, quick album. I enjoyed it.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Nov 13 2024

I get that it's influential and all, but really not my thing, in retrospect. A little abrasive on the ears with all the shouting and random mixed-in bits.

I See A Darkness by Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Nov 14 2024

Ooh, pleasantly mild. Maybe a little too mild.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Nov 15 2024

Not bad but a little too mild. Expected more surf. Not sure why.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Nov 19 2024

"I put a tiger in your tank" what in the stupidest goddamn shit is this? "Got my moBRPPPRPPRPPRHRPRRHjo working!" - good on you, bud, just shut the fuck up now, please. Stupid repetitive garbage, not surprising this "jazz" thing went out of style.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Nov 21 2024

Iconic but annoying. Maybe classic rock is not my thing. Drum solos are dumb. Overly long drum solos are idiotic.

Nov 22 2024

Surprisingly, off to an energetic start. Honestly not terrible, as much as rap is not my thing. Oh, this is the dude who made Crazy, this figures.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Nov 25 2024

Not bad, a little too long. Would give this 3.5 stars if I could, but we do whole stars only here.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Nov 26 2024

Jethro Tull is how old now? Where's the flute? Also, this is so repetitive, my god. Not a fan.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Nov 28 2024

Interesting start. Not disgusting overall. Not sure that I'd listen to this on repeat, but it's not off-putting to my ears.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Nov 29 2024

Ye synths! It reeks of 80s tho. So no.

Disintegration by The Cure
Dec 02 2024

Not bad, not spectacular, but definitely important.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Dec 03 2024

Not a bad start, although it feels a little dated almost immediately. What is up with the 6+ minute long songs?

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Dec 09 2024

It's alright, still hate that music video though. Some songs are better than others.

Skylarking by XTC
Dec 11 2024

It was alright, not anything special.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Dec 12 2024

Oooh this one rocks hard. Forgot how much I liked this one too. Not all songs tho. Oh well.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Dec 13 2024

It's alright, nothing special.

Dec 16 2024

Yay porn sounds! Dat bass slaps tho. Well, slapped. Hooked with the first song, lost with the rest of it. Here we go with JEEEZUS! And A MEN A MEN!

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Dec 18 2024

Madonna kinda rocks, actually.

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 19 2024

I already hate the cover. But the music is solid. Can relate to the "I Hope You're Happy Now" a lot.

Lost Souls by Doves
Dec 20 2024

Ooh, something not from 50 years ago. Fun! Ooh, instrumental? Is it instrumental? Wasn't instrumental but had its moments.

Illmatic by Nas
Dec 25 2024

Aaand it sucks from the beginning. But then some parts are not terrible. But then some parts are terrible again!

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jan 07 2025

Maybe if you like blues this would be good, but I don't like blues.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jan 08 2025

The first song is a slapper! This is how you open an album! Love how almost every song has the explicit [E] in it, hehe. Child voices rapping profanities is... an interesting decision. Not a good one, though. Autotuned cowboy singing is also a strange thing. It was alright, but its age is showing in its cracks.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jan 09 2025

Not bad.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Jan 10 2025

Not terrible but not exactly my thing.

2112 by Rush
Jan 14 2025

Not bad but not my thing again.

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jan 16 2025

Very fun, actually. Pleasant, mellow, but energetic at the same time, somehow.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Jan 17 2025

I Built This Garden For Us - Wow this shit is hard to listen to. Rosemary - and here we go with jerking off to Jesus. This really sucks, what's the hype about?

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 20 2025

Who would listen to this voluntarily?

Odelay by Beck
Jan 21 2025

Starts hard. Nice. Some songs are experimental in a good way, others in a not so good way. Novacane is hard on the ears.

Queen II by Queen
Jan 22 2025

Eh, it was alright, not Queen at its best by any means.

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 23 2025

Ooh is that cello? I want to believe. Mmm, nice but a bit too mellow. Ok, the second song is better. It was alright, not my cup of tea generally, but not abrasive.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots by The Flaming Lips
Jan 24 2025

Fun start. Songwriting is lacking. Again, too mellow. Interesting synths. It was alright, had its moments but nothing special. I expected more from the album cover.

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jan 27 2025

Starts with a very familiar riff somehow. But good. Energetic. Live albums can be hit-and-miss, at least this one is intelligible. Too long, though. 2.5 stars, but rounded down.

Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Jan 29 2025

I tried. It had its moments, but it's too long and annoying.

Jan 30 2025

Not terrible. Some classics. Some hard to listen to, it's not particularly fresh. 3.5 stars. On the fence.

Nowhere by Ride
Feb 07 2025

Not terrible at all, droney and different.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Feb 10 2025

Eh. Not bad but not my thing.
