Popular Reviews

There’s a lot going on in this album, it’s supposed to be a story but I can’t tell you what it’s about. It sounds like someone put a bunch of TV channels in a bucket, mixed them up and then rapped over it. It wasn’t for me 1001 album worthy: No - 11/21

Hejira by Joni Mitchell

Joni Mitchell is like licorice. I really want to like her music, but I just don’t. Her phrasing is weird to me, like her voice outruns the music. Like she’s trying to fit 87 words into one phrase. If this album existed without her voice, then cool, I could dig it. And props to her for succeeding as a singer songwriter with an impressive catalog. But bless her heart, her voice is awful. And the album cover looks like she’s one of those old bitchy ladies that says “hey peasant, you washed my car with Dawn and not with my 487 dollar car soap.” 1001 album worthy: No - 49/89

Rocks by Aerosmith

My favorite Aerosmith album. Every track drips rock n roll swagger. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 62/115

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy

I know this is supposed to be a classic album. When I first heard it around the time it came out, it was something different. Being from a small town, we didn’t get to hear a lot of music like this. Now the whole album sounds like the same song. Meh 1001 album worthy: No - 1/2

Van Halen by Van Halen

This debut is blistering. Every single track is jammin. Classic 1001 album worthy: Yes - 44/78

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Nov 22 2024

I didn’t hate listening to this album. It’s enjoyable all the way through. I dig the horns and Ray’s urgency on “Let the Good Times Roll”. Would be great background music at a fall or holiday party or an evening wooing your lady. 1001 album worthy: 1/1

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Nov 23 2024

I know this is supposed to be a classic album. When I first heard it around the time it came out, it was something different. Being from a small town, we didn’t get to hear a lot of music like this. Now the whole album sounds like the same song. Meh 1001 album worthy: No - 1/2

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson

Nov 25 2024

Fantastic album. March of the pigs, Mr self destruct. Hurt, Closer. 1001 album worthy: Yes- 3/4

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Nov 26 2024

If Jet, Oasis, Green Day, and Weezer had a baby, I imagine this is what it would sound like. It’s sorta pop, sorta punk, just not for me. 1001 album worthy: No - 3/5

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Nov 27 2024

As a casual fan, this album didn’t change that. It’s a decent listen, if you’re looking for something different. Growing up during the time when MTV was on fire (when they aired actual music videos) I was exposed to Once in a Lifetime. Houses in Motion was a sleeper track for me. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 4/6

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Nov 28 2024

Dull piano, slow, boring songs. Voice is cool. I found myself wanting this album to be over. If I had to choose either listening to this album or being held down in a fire ant bed, I’d pick the fire ant bed. 1001 album worthy: No - 4/7

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Nov 29 2024

Blistering raw classic Metallica album! Blackened, And justice for all, One, Harvester of Sorrow, shortest straw all jams. 1001 album worthy: Absolutely - 5/8

evermore by Taylor Swift
Dec 04 2024

Nothing really jumped out and grabbed me. Very middle of the road. 1001 album worthy: Sure - 10/19

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Dec 11 2024

“Classic” rap album. As a young man when it came out it was fresh and new for the time. As an older man, some of it feels like “why am I listening to this” 1001 album worthy: yes - 11/20

Dec 12 2024

There’s a lot going on in this album, it’s supposed to be a story but I can’t tell you what it’s about. It sounds like someone put a bunch of TV channels in a bucket, mixed them up and then rapped over it. It wasn’t for me 1001 album worthy: No - 11/21

Dec 27 2024

I don’t understand the appeal. Terrible 1001 album worthy: No - 21/36

Kid A by Radiohead
Dec 28 2024

This album is considered top 100 best by Apple Music. This album is a bunch of synth garbage. Radiohead had one decent song. It’s not on this album. How do people listen to this crap? How do you actually actively listen to this? How do you be present in this? It’s absolute trash. No stars if I could give it that. 1001 album worthy: Hell no - 21/37

Forever Changes by Love
Dec 30 2024

60’s mediocre music. What the hell is an Andmoreagain? Cool cover, album, not so much 1001 album worthy: No - 22/39

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Jan 05 2025

Superb live album. Fantastic sound. Well done 1001 album worthy: Yes 26/45

The Hour Of Bewilderbeast by Badly Drawn Boy
Jan 06 2025

Originally, this album was gonna get 1 star, just because you can’t give it 0. But in between the Beck like singing, there are cool instrumentals that give you a break from his boring voice. Bewilder leads into Fall in a River, which actually sounds like they threw a mic into a river, so that was kinda cool. Then, This Song has some neat production trick that makes your ears itch, followed by Bewilderbeast, another vocal less break from the plain singing. 1001 album worthy: Sure - 27/46

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jan 07 2025

Great metal album! Wheels of Confusion, Changes, Supernaut, and Snowblind are jams! 1001 album worthy: Yes - 28/47

California by American Music Club
Jan 08 2025

Sounds like The Cure music, with a young Bruce Springsteen. Pass

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Jan 09 2025

This was not some Beyoncé sound a like crap album. Janelle is a really talented singer. The music has some cool jazz / R&B elements to it. Thought I would hate it. It wasn’t bad at all 1001 album worthy: Yes - 29/49

Sincere by Mj Cole
Jan 10 2025

Absolutely sucked. No stars 1001 album worthy: No - 29/50

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jan 11 2025

Radiohead sucks and so does this album. I swore I’d never listen to another Radiohead album after Kid A Dogshit. It’s not a top 100, they aren’t saving rock n roll. They are overrated. Ok Dogshit Computer. Zero stars if I could rate it that 1001 album worthy: No - 29/51

Vulnicura by Björk
Jan 12 2025

Not my thing. It all sounded the same. 1001 album worthy: No - 29/52

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Jan 18 2025

When My Name Is was released, I really thought he would be a one hit wonder, like right said Fred. Boy was I wrong. And I’m glad, cause he has some stone cold jams. This album isn’t my favorite though and it’s alright. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 33/58

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 22 2025

Classic album with excellent jams. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 36/62

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Jan 25 2025

This album “gave me hope that was a disappointment” An alright start to a terribly boring album. Dollar store Enya. I fought so hard to stay awake thru incredibly long boring, sound alike songs. 1001 album worthy: No - 37/65

Jan 26 2025

Classic metal album. I resisted it when it first came out. But eventually couldn’t evade its “power”. It hits hard. Great from front to back 1001 album worthy: Yes - 38/66

Jan 27 2025

The musicianship is top shelf, but this just didn’t tickle my fancy. It’s just TOO Genesis, I reckon. 1001 album worthy: No - 38/67

Ramones by Ramones
Jan 28 2025

Listening to this album, I didn’t feel the overwhelming urge to save the world, or to house the homeless. I just wanted to bang my head to some simple fun punk music. No more, no less, just a carefree good time. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 39/ 68

Traffic by Traffic
Jan 29 2025

It’s not bad. Nothing I would write home about. But it wasn’t like I was wishing it was over 1001 album worthy: No - 39/69

Done By The Forces Of Nature by Jungle Brothers
Jan 30 2025

It was nice to hear something other than common typical gangster rap. Reminded me of early 80’s rap, before NWA. Did I need to hear this before I die? Nah. Music is good. Lots of positive lyrics. Not bad 1001 album worthy: No - 39/70

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Feb 02 2025

Just One Fix and Jesus Built my Hot Rod are the standouts. The rest of the album is pretty good. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 42/73

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Feb 03 2025

If you like albums where you drop acid and rave in an abandoned Circle K for 3 days, this is for you. It was ok, your typical Temu Moby music. 1001 album worthy: No - 42/74

Debut by Björk
Feb 04 2025

Human Behavior, Venus as a boy and There’s more to life than this was interesting. I enjoyed those. The rest was not bad. Definitely better than Vunicura 1001 album worthy: Yes - 43/75

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Feb 05 2025

This was ok, most of the songs are longer than necessary. If you’re wishing that the Artic Monkeys and Oasis had a baby, and it was raised by The Beatles, this is the album for you. But not for me 1001 album worthy: No - 43/76

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen

Feb 11 2025

Smooth & funky jazz with Sade singing over it. Nothing bad about this album 1001 album worthy: Yes - 45/79

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Feb 12 2025

This album sounds like she recorded it lying right where the cover picture was taken. A bunch of mediocre songs with her singing over them. Don’t get me wrong, she has a great voice, just a boring album 1001 album worthy: No - 45/80

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Feb 13 2025

Solid rock album. Enjoyed nearly all of it 1001 album worthy: Yes - 46/81

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Feb 14 2025

The music is cool on the first few songs. The bass is nice and heavy. Then you get to poptones and it sounds like everyone just played a different song while Lydon yells poptones. His “singing” is shit. The rest of the album is unremarkable 1001 album worthy: No - 46/82

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye

Good jazz album. It’s kinda 70s funk/jazz blend feel. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 50/90

Two Dancers by Wild Beasts
Feb 23 2025

The last 2 songs Underbelly and Empty Nest are the only 2 remotely worth listening to. The rest of them, ugh. Some of them are a warbling repetitive mess. Did I have to hear this before I died. No. Who the hell picks these album 1001 album worthy: No - 50/91

This album is a feeling. Jazzy nightclub vibe with Waits crooning over the top. Unique. Very cool 1001 album worthy: Yes - 51/92

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Feb 25 2025

Folksy, whiney, boring snoozathon. Cover art is cool though. 1001 album worthy: No - 51/93

This album has a great sound. Very good. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 53/101

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Mar 09 2025

The announcements are annoying, interrupting the flow of the album. Buy maybe necessary to paint the picture of the excitement of the crowd and the atmosphere. Then I read where a lot of it was recreated in the studio. Still a cool album though. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 54/102

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 13 2025

Wasn’t a hard listen. It’s a decent album 1001 album worthy: Nah - 55/104

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 26 2025

Ugh. Like all EC & A albums, this one sucks too. “Elvis Costello’s third album is fueled by wonderfully harnessed emotions…” Bullcrap!

Mar 30 2025

Good album, even though the chorus to The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight is annoying af. Drive is dope. Everybody Hurts will tear your heart out. New Orleans instr. is cool. As is Man on the Moon. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 64/118

New Wave by The Auteurs
Mar 31 2025

44 minutes of my life I wish I had back. I’d rather walk barefooted on sweet gum balls than to listen to this drivel. 1001 album worthy: No - 64/119

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 08 2025

I didn’t like this album. Some of the “sound effects” were a bit much 1001 album worthy: no - 64/120

Rid Of Me by PJ Harvey
Apr 10 2025

This album was alright. “Rid of Me” was cool, especially the “lick my legs, I’m on fire!” Scream at the end. “50 Foot Queenie” was not bad. The rest is just alright. 1001 album worthy: yes - 65/122

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 11 2025

This album is awesome musically. The music is very interesting, but I found myself wishing for a different singer. 1001 album worthy: yes - 66/123

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 12 2025

This is a fantastic blues album. I could have done without “The Blues had a baby..” but the rest of this album is dope! 1001 album worthy: yes - 67/124

I'm Your Man by Leonard Cohen
Apr 13 2025

This was definitely better than The Songs of… “Everybody Knows, Jazz Police, Tower of Song, & First We Take Manhattan are all pretty cool. His voice is haunting. 1001 album worthy: yes - 68/125

Apr 14 2025

Let me save you some time… Boom pa-pap pa pap “punk to funk” x 47 “Throw your hands in the air” x 14 “Michael Jackson, Tina Turner” Bip bip pap ba bip pa pap 1001 album worthy: bip pa pap “hell no” x10 - 68/126

Pink Moon by Nick Drake
Apr 15 2025

Reading Wikipedia, his friends say at the end of his life, he often had a blank stare…which is exactly what I had while listening to this album. It just didn’t do it for me. 1001 album worthy: no - 68/127

Electric by The Cult
Apr 16 2025

This album is overall pretty jammin. I could have done without the shitty Born to be Wild cover. Still, a great rock album. 1001 album worthy: yes - 69/128

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Apr 17 2025

It all sounded the same and this is the 3rd!! Leonard Cohen album. I’m not a fan of his early works. 1001 album worthy: no - 69/129

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Apr 18 2025

Smashmouth meets Limp Biskit with some Naughty by Nature and House of Pain sprinkled on top. Nah, I’m good. 1001 album worthy: NO - 69/130

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Apr 19 2025

This is a fantastic sound album all the way through. At 34 minutes, the album is just right. 1001 album worthy: yes - 70/131

Apr 20 2025

This album was really good. Her voice is so powerful and haunting. I like the way “Feel..” builds. “Emperor’s & Compares…” are the stars. Her voice is so wicked on the closer “I Do Not Want..” 1001 album worthy: 71/132

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Apr 21 2025

Absolutely boring. The end. 1001 album worthy: NOPE - 71/133

Bookends by Simon & Garfunkel
Apr 22 2025

I didn’t feel the whole “concept” of this album. “Side 2”…or the second half I enjoyed better than the first. “Hazy Shade of Winter” is the only one I’ll add to my playlist. It’s the star of this album. Mrs Robinson is pretty good. “Voices of old people” was pointless and annoying. 1001 album worthy: yes - 72/134

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 23 2025

This whole album, top to bottom, is fantastic. Exquisite. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 73/135

White Light by Gene Clark
Apr 24 2025

This album surprised me. I thought it would be a run of the mill standard country album. There are some great songs and styles on here. Some sound like Bob Dylan, some like Glen Campbell and even a cool cover of “Stand by Me” with some bongo action. Fantastic album

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 25 2025

I’m not a big Bruce fan, and I really wanted to hate this. I didn’t. There’s some great songs with some killer harmonica. 1001 album worthy: yes 75/137

Apr 26 2025

I didn’t like this at all. The classroom segments add nothing to the recording and I found myself just wanting to hear her stretch out and just sing. She’s a great singer. I wish there was some different music. 1001 album worthy: no - 75/138

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 27 2025

This album is excellent. All of the tracks, except EXP are great, but the diamonds here are: Spanish Magic Castle, Little Wing, If 6 was 9 and Castles Made of Sand. The cover art is also wicked. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 76/139

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Apr 28 2025

This is a cool album. Sounds like it could have been recorded today. Sky saw sounds really cool. May revisit this later. 1001 album worthy: yes - 77/140

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
May 02 2025

This album is just “meh”. Lust for Life is alright as is The Passenger. Turn Blue is not bad. I would have been ok never hearing it. 1001 album worthy: No - 77/141

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 03 2025

This album is classic. When Maiden was hungry. Killer album with fantastic cover artwork! 1001 album worthy: yes 78/142

May 04 2025

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. 1001 album worthy: yes - 79/143

May 05 2025

SHEIN version of Oasis. Dollar General Stone Roses. Sucked. O stars 1001 album worthy: no - 79/144

Harvest by Neil Young
May 06 2025

This is an awesome album. Out on the Weekend is a jam, as is Heart of Gold, Are you Teady for the Country, Old Ma, Needle, and Words. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 80/144

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
May 07 2025

I didn’t hate it like I thought I would. It’s a decent album. Cool harmonies on The River. 1001 album worthy: yes - 81/145

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
May 08 2025

Cool album artwork, musics not bad, but this dudes singing is shit 1001 album worthy: no - 81/146

Close To You by Carpenters
May 13 2025

She has a smooth, silky, comforting voice. Not a huge fan of the soft pop music, but they have a couple of decent songs. It was weird hearing them doing Reason to Believe. The brother seems like a tool. 1001 album worthy: Nah - 81/147

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
May 14 2025

This album is dogshit 1001 album worthy: no 81/148

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
May 15 2025

Very interesting jazz album: Fantastic! The Man with the Golden Arm jams! 1001 album worthy: yes - 82/149

Disintegration by The Cure
May 16 2025

It’s not for me. I’ve never enjoyed The Cure. Lullaby is interesting. 1001 album worthy: yeah - 83/150

Is This It by The Strokes
May 17 2025

The only decent song on here is last night. The rest is garbage. 1001 album worthy: no - 83/151

May 18 2025

This album is absolutely amazing. From the cool intro/outro bible verse reading in “The Man comes Around” to the cool covers of “Bridge, Face, and Desperado” it is just fantastic. “Personal Jesus” has a swagger to it that’s just badass. The cover of “Hurt” is exquisite! 1001 album worthy: yes - 84/152

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
May 19 2025

I could take or leave this album. Aside from “Mothers Little Helper and Under my Thumb” the rest is forgettable. 1001 album worthy: no - 84/153

Music From Big Pink by The Band
May 20 2025

Growing up hearing The Weight and Up on Cripple Creek I thought I would enjoy this album a lot more than I did. It moves along very slow. I will probably revisit it at some point to make sure I’m not just in a funky mood. 1001 album worthy: yeah - 85/154

Out of Step by Minor Threat
May 21 2025

22 minutes of the same song 9 times. I felt nothing when I listened to this. I didn’t feel threatened, not even minorly. 1001 album worthy: no - 85/155

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
May 22 2025

I was rejoicing when this album ended. It was so long and boring. 1001 album worthy: no - 85/156

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
May 23 2025

I love the crunchy guitar. This was a good album. 1001 album worthy: yes - 86/157

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
May 24 2025

Sure this 1957 live album sounds great and she’s a great singer. There are times when she doesn’t know the words and so she sings “I do t know the words, I hope you still like this song…doo bee doo doo boo” , or whatever. It was long and sorta boring. 1001 album worthy: nah - 86/158

The La's by The La's
May 25 2025

This album is dogshit. The kinda dogshit where your beloved pit bull chewed up a tennis ball, swallowed it, then when he took a shit, the turds had fluorescent yellow patches in it. That’s this album. 1001 album worthy: not at all - 86/159

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
May 26 2025

This album was just alright. Not bad, not good.”Toonerville Trolley” is weird as hell. Cool ass name for a band though. 1001 album worthy: sure - 87/160

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
May 27 2025

I enjoyed this album. “Boogie on Reggae Woman and You Ain’t Done Nuthin” are jams. 1001 album worthy: yes - 88/161

Oedipus Schmoedipus by Barry Adamson
May 28 2025

Pretty cool album. “Set..” is pretty funky and interesting. “Business” is made me tense, it’s kinda creepy, which is also cool. “The Big Bamboozle” is a jammin song, love those horns. Overall other than “Vermillion Kisses” and “Dirty Barry”, this is a really good album. 1002 album worthy: Yes - 89/162

The Score by Fugees
May 29 2025

Ugh…I already hate this album and I’m 2 tracks in. Verdict: This album is dog shit. This album made me wanna quit. I didn’t want to get on here and spit, it’s all whim and no wit, useless as a boar’s tit. Seriously though, sounds the fucking same all the way through. It’s fn boring, annoying and uninspired. Thank you Lord that I don’t have to listen to this again! 1001 album worthy: No - 89/163

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
May 30 2025

Beep boop beep boop “trans-Europe express” this album sucks. It made me want to cut my ears off with the looking glass. 1001 album worthy: Ugh, naw bruh - 89/164

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jun 06 2025

This is one of those albums I can put on and listen to all 17 tracks, start to finish. As a young man, I was captivated by “Under the Bridge” and “Give it Away” and would often skip through “breaking the Girl” or “I Could Have Lied”. I find myself enjoying the 2 latter tracks more now. I love the intensity of “Suck my Kiss” and “The Greeting Song”. “Funky Monks, Naked in the Rain & Apache Rose Peacock have a cool, funky swagger to them. As does “Sir Psycho” but the lyrics get a bit much . Fantastic album!! 1001 album worthy: Yes - 90/165

Jun 07 2025

This is a mediocre album. No standouts, no epiphanies, just meh, it’s alright. Background noise 1001 album worthy: No - 90/166

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 08 2025

This whole album is awesome. I remember when it was released and heard it on the radio, i thought oh that’s a cool sounding new rock band. Boy was I shocked! Paul Revere is the best song on here, followed by No Sleep, Brass Monkey, She’s crafty, and The Nee Style. Even the rest of The tracks have grown on me over the years. I can listen to it all the way through and it still sounds different and fresh today. The cover is iconic as well. 1001 album worthy: yes - 91/167

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jun 09 2025

This album is dog shit. The title is a lie and the cover is dumb. Worst.band.name.ever. 1001 album worthy: no - 91/168

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jun 10 2025

This album is a masterpiece. The harmonies are absolutely sick, the music is killer and the cover art is iconic. 1001 album worthy: yes 92/169

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
Jun 11 2025

I don’t like electronic music, but this was pretty dope. I may revisit it in the future. 1001 album worthy: yes - 93/170

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
Jun 12 2025

This album should be called Yawnfest of 1955. Boring crooner shit over sappy strings. Hated every second of it. 1001 album worthy: no - 93/171

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 16 2025

Diving deep and researching this album, I wasn’t aware of the history of this project. It’s cool that this was realized after 37 years on a shelf. I wish it had been carried out with The Beach Boys, but undertand why it didn’t. Overall, cool album. May not be my favorite, but I agree everyone should give it a listen. Do yourself a favor, read up on this album before you listen to it. 1001 album worthy: yes - 94/172

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Jun 17 2025

I liked this album and even enjoyed the “Apple Jam” instrumentals. Stand out tracks: “My Sweet Lord, Hear Me Lord, Out of the Blue, & Plug Me In” 1001 album worthy: yes - 95/173

Headquarters by The Monkees
Jun 18 2025

I’m gonna preface this by saying: I’ve always hated the monkees. Their music is lame. So I didn’t want to listen to this album. But I did. And even listened to the bonus tracks. I hated every minute of it. The monkees still suck and I still hate them. 1001 album worthy: no - 95/174

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 19 2025

It’s a pretty decent album all the way through. Standouts: “The Next Day & (You Will) Set The World On Fire. The cover idea was dope. 1001 album worthy: yes 96/175

Maxinquaye by Tricky
Jun 20 2025

Ugh. Terrible. Dark, broody and coma inducing. Cover art is terrible too. 1001 album worthy: no - 96/176

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jun 21 2025

There’s some good stuff on this double album. And there’s some places it drags. There’s a lot of fluff. Overall, decent album though. “I Wish, Sir Duke, As, and Isn’t She Lovely” are the best cuts. 1001 album worthy: yes 97/177

We're Only In It For The Money by The Mothers Of Invention
Jun 22 2025

It’s weird as you’d expect a Zappa album to be. Must hear before you die? Nah 1001 album worthy: no 97:178

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jun 23 2025

I’ve heard this album a few times. It’s got that 80’s feel to it. Even the vault songs are good. Best songs are “Shake it Off, Style, Blank Space, and Clean. 1001 album worthy: yes 98/179

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Jun 24 2025

I was already familiar with the hits. The rest is alright. She can sing, the high pitch robot voice gets old. Just let it rip naturally 1001 album worthy: yes - 99/180

Histoire De Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg
Jun 25 2025

The music is funky, and the voice will make even the oldest of women swoon. But can’t understand a word of French. 1001 album worthy: nah - 99/181

Jun 26 2025

This album is not that great. The title track is good and is definitely a must hear before you die. But Milky Cereal is the freakin worst! 1001 album worthy: No - 99/182

90 by 808 State
Jun 27 2025

Beep bop boop beep bop… this crap suuuuucked. 1001 album worthy: no - 99/183

Jul 22 2025

This album is pretty good. I enjoyed it. 1001 album worthy: yes 102/189

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jul 23 2025

Sounds like Jim Croce singing for Coldplay, but less entertaining. I could not wait for this boring garbage to be done. If you’re feeling sinister, listen to a Slayer album, not this. Drinking the juice that drips from garbage truck would be more satisfying than this record. 1001 album worthy: aww hell naw 102/190

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

Classic album. I can jam every track. Best way to spend 42 minutes. 1001 album worthy; yes 103/191

The Doors by The Doors
Aug 05 2025

Great debut album! 1001 album worthy: Yes - 104/193

The Rising by Bruce Springsteen
Aug 06 2025

Bunch of mediocre, mundane song. “The Rising” is the only noteworthy song. 1001 album worthy: No - 104/194

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Aug 07 2025

This album is a Stone Cold Steve Austin classic. It will open a can of whoop ass on you. I’m talking about stomp a mud hole in your ass and walk it dry - kinda ass whoopin. Badass album. Every track. Damn near perfect. 1001 album worthy: Yes - 105/195

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Aug 08 2025

If you enjoy looking out the window on dreary rainy days, reminiscing about your past lost loves, gently crying, while petting a 9 1/2 year old cat that’s on its death bed, then this album is your jam. I listened to this at work, fell asleep at my desk and someone stole my nature valley granola bar. I was depressed for the rest of the day. 1001 album worthy: Nope - 105/196

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Aug 09 2025

There’s no denying this is a monstrous album. But I only really dig “Wanna, Beat it, Billie Jean, Thriller, and PYT. 1001 alum worthy: yes 106/197

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Sep 05 2025

This album sucks and so does Sonic Youth. It’s like a recording of let’s see if we can make the worlds shittiest album and people actually buy it. 1001 album worthy: no - 106/198

Sep 06 2025

Jazzy jazz. If you like jazz, you’ll like this album. Blah blah jazz, jazz blah blah. Blah blah blah blah. It all sounds the same. 1001 album worthy: no - 106/199

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Sep 07 2025

I surprising enjoyed this. I dreaded listening to it because the cover art look lame. It’s easy to see where Bon Scott was influenced by them. Don’t sleep on this one, it’s actually pretty good. 1001 album worthy: yes 107/200

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Sep 09 2025

This is a great album full of bangers. “Whole Lotta Love, What Is…,Heartbreaker, and Ramble On. “Moby Dick” is a sick drum showcase. The baddest track on here is “Livin Loving Maid” 1001 album worthy: yes 108/202

Kala by M.I.A.
Sep 10 2025

I made it 3 songs into this dumpster fire before calling it quits. Repetitive, and a ful. Then switched to just the “highlight” paper planes. I can not freaking do it. This sucks so bad. And 2 disc worth. No thanks 1001 album worthy: no - 108/203

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Oct 22 2025

Not even the cover of Helter Skelter can save this travesty. 1001 album worthy: no - 108/204

Moby Grape by Moby Grape
Oct 23 2025

Mediocre 60’s rock.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Oct 24 2025

This album is so dull, lifeless, soulless. Think: Robot Cher.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Oct 25 2025

I’ve always shied away from Dylan because I never cared for his voice. However, I enjoyed this whole album. “Like a Rollinng Stone” is the best song on this album.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Oct 26 2025

Repetitive noise garbage. I don’t see how this is a must hear before you die albums
