Popular Reviews

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

5/5

I'm curious to see how others rate this one. One of my favorites so far. It's like David Lynch and Trent Reznor made a record, produced by Richard D James with just a pinch of Brian Eno

Cosmo's Factory

Creedence Clearwater Revival

5/5

Van Halen

3/5

I'm saving the 4's in case Diver Down or Fair Warning show up on this list. Would do 3 1/2 if possible. But cant go 4 on this one

The Velvet Underground & Nico

The Velvet Underground

3/5

It's okay, Heroin is interesting. Nothing bad, but I guess it's just not my thing. 2 seems unfair, so I'll give it a 3

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

Easy 5 The first 3 CD's I ever bought were this, Vitalogy, and Get a Grip. Haven't gone back to listen to this in a long time. Putting it back into rotation

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

'I'm afraid your just too darn loud'

Being There

Wilco

1/5

Yikes... did not like this one, made it through the whole thing though

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

always loved this one, another easy 5

Pretenders

5/5

I knew some of the songs, but I'd never listened to this album before. It was great, going with a 5

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

'Riot shields, voodoo economics, your turn, your turn It's just business, cattle prods and the IMF I trust I can rely on your vote' Not even the best from Radiohead but still another 5

Adele

4/5

went into this one a little skeptical. Enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Already familiar with the singles, but was impressed how well the whole album comes together. No filler to pad out the hits, just solid music.

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey

1/5

feels like watching a Portlandia sketch, but without a punchline. worse than Wilco

Moss Side Story

Barry Adamson

5/5

I'm curious to see how others rate this one. One of my favorites so far. It's like David Lynch and Trent Reznor made a record, produced by Richard D James with just a pinch of Brian Eno

Shaft

Isaac Hayes

3/5

it's ok, I behind on rating these. I'm going to knock out a bunch that I dont really have much to say about. All going to be 3's

Isaac Hayes

4/5

some sweet slow jams from the Duke of New York

The Band

3/5

'Up on Cripple Creek' was a high point overall, pretty good

The Chronic

Dr. Dre

4/5

I love the story of the kid who taped the singles off the radio, convinced his mom to ignore the parental advisory, then learned the radio tracks were edits when we popped the new tape in on the car ride home. Family fun for all ages

Raw Power

The Stooges

3/5

Don't have much to say on this one. Liked it, but wouldn't look for it again.

If I Could Only Remember My Name

David Crosby

4/5

treatment protocol for a bad acid trip: Listen to this with the curtains drawn and the lights off Also a good choice to come back from a bad day. Calm and relaxing.

Hysteria

Def Leppard

3/5

I know this sounds weird but I've been listening to that Barry Adamson's Moss Side Story over and over again. I get that most people didnt like it, but it's my new favorite. Oh yeah, Def Leppard is fine

Vanishing Point

Primal Scream

4/5

solid 90's rock

1989

3/5

You've Come a Long Way Baby

Fatboy Slim

4/5

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

5/5

Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

not as good as Cosmo's Factory

Technique

New Order

4/5

I'm a huge New Order (and Joy Division fan), Vanishing Point and Dream Attack are some of their best. But this album doesn't really come together like some of their others, so it gets a 4. Power, Corruption, and Lies will get a 5 when it comes up

Transformer

Lou Reed

I still listen to this one regularly, glad it's on the list. Only getting a 4 because like most 90's rap, too many stupid skits.

Raw Like Sushi

Neneh Cherry

2/5

well produced but still kind of boring after a few tracks.

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

5/5

This is one of my all time favorite albums, sets the stage for all the New Order, Cure, The Church, and Pet Shop Boys to come. Pre-new-wave but post-punk, this album is new life crawling out of the musical primordial ooze.
