Popular Reviews

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash

It's a Johnny Cash album. Nothing more to be said.

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (317)

Dec 18 2024

Not a big Coldplay fan but this album was better than I thought it would be. There were a couple of songs I recognised but most were new to me. None saved to listen to again.

Fragile by Yes
Dec 19 2024

The songs were all so so long. Heart of the sunrise was my standout, loved the last minute or so. Already had Roundabout saved, no new songs saved.

The Bends by Radiohead
Dec 20 2024

I don't really like Radiohead. I just don't like the singer and some of the songs on this album made me feel almost a bit tense. No songs saved to listen to later.

Dec 23 2024

Starts really strong and manages to keep up the pace all through the album. Absolutism love it. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds is definitely my favourite, with When I'm Sixty-four coming in second. Three songs saved to listen to again.

Dec 26 2024

Pretty good Christmas album. I was a little late in getting to it (and I'm also in Australia so I think it was a day late) so I'm a bit over it, but there are some good classic Christmas songs on there.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Dec 27 2024

Not really my thing. Felt a bit too old for my tastes. None saved to listen to again.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Dec 30 2024
Abraxas by Santana
Dec 31 2024

Didn't mind this one. Not too much singing, just vibes.

Scott 2 by Scott Walker
Jan 01 2025

I think I gave this a fair chance, I didn't listen to the last couple of songs but judging by how much I hated the rest of the songs on this album I really can't imagine they would've saved it for me. I just hated this album so much.

Jan 02 2025

Some songs i liked, some i didn't. Saved one to listen to in future.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jan 06 2025

Not my favourite but I didn't hate this. I do wish the entire album was more like the b sides. So many of the other's were just so one note and boring.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 07 2025

Yeah I just really don't enjoy Prince.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Jan 08 2025

I didn't mind some of the songs but probably wouldn't listen to it again.

I See You by The xx
Jan 09 2025

I didn't hate this, it's just boring. On Hold was already in my rotation, no additional songs to listen to later.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Jan 10 2025

Don't mind a couple of the songs (Black Skinhead) but some of the lyrics made me so uncomfortable (I'm In It was so gross). There's also much autotune and i wasn't a huge fan of some of the experimental elements or sampling.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 13 2025

I actually found myself kind of enjoying this album. I like it a lot better than Yeezus. I enjoyed All Falls Down, Spaceship, Jesus Walks, and Never Let Me Down. Kanye really does make some very interesting music. It's not 100% my thing but I can appreciate it. It's a shame he's such an awful person.

John Prine by John Prine
Jan 15 2025

I'm not sure how I feel about this album. I didn't hate it but it's a bit too old man rock for my tastes.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jan 16 2025

40 minutes of noise. Made me anxious. Hated it.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 20 2025

Either a 2 or a 3. The music is good, I just really prefer songs with lyrics. I also prefer shorter songs. 12 minutes really is too long for one song.

London Calling by The Clash
Jan 21 2025

Really enjoyed this one. Dont think it was quite perfect but a very enjoyable experience nonetheless. 4 songs saved to listen to again + London Calling which was already on my list.

Jan 23 2025

I listened to this yesterday and I really can't remember a single song on it. Didn't love it, didn't hate it. It gets a 2.5.

Horses by Patti Smith
Jan 24 2025

Really not a fan of the vocals or the intense, dour music

Technique by New Order
Jan 29 2025

Didn't mind this but not quite my thing

Kollaps by Einstürzende Neubauten
Jan 30 2025

After reading the other reviews I was expecting something pretty terrible, but Kollaps actually wasn't that bad. Would I listen to it again? No, probably not. Was it a completely joyless experience? No, not really. Most of it is just noise. Some of it was quite unpleasant. I'm sure one of the songs straight up sampled a drill. Sometimes I flinched. But the album really wasnt the worst thing I've ever heard.

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Jan 31 2025

Really didn't like this. It was too slow and whiny for me. Best song was Shakedown on 9th Street but it sounds like it's from a totally different album.

Pretenders by Pretenders
Feb 11 2025

I didn't mind this. It's a bit too much for my tastes sometimes but when it's good, it's good.

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 12 2025

I did not like this at all

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 14 2025

I was bored. Karma Police is a good song, I wouldn't listen to the rest of the album again.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 17 2025

There are some good songs on here but they're all like 30 seconds too long.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 20 2025

I just don't like Billy Corgan's voice. I think I'd love this of someone else sang it.

Dookie by Green Day
Mar 04 2025
Quiet Life by Japan
Mar 06 2025

Stand outs: Life in Tokyo, Quiet Life.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Mar 10 2025

I enjoyed the first 9 songs, but after that I was pretty keen for it to be over. I don't enjoy instrumentals too much and they also got a bit too intense and moody.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Mar 18 2025
Guero by Beck
Mar 20 2025
Mar 24 2025

I think I liked this more than Yeezus and less than the College Dropout. So many long songs and the language once again bothered me, "Yeezy reupholstered my pussy." How can anyone listen to that line without embarassment?

Elephant by The White Stripes
Mar 25 2025
Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Mar 27 2025

Pretty generic 80s songs.

90 by 808 State
Mar 28 2025
Mar 31 2025

Usually don't like live albums, but this one really had me wishing I was there watching it live.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Apr 01 2025

I half enjoyed this. Some of the songs were a bit grating.

Apr 04 2025

I really like Invisible Touch (the song, haven't listened to the whole album), so i thought I'd really like Genesis. I am now realising it was stupid to think I'd enjoy a band Street hearing one song. I didn't really enjoy this album. There were a few songs that i liked, but I didn't enjoy most of them. I have also generally struggled with longer albums and this is definitely a long one at 1.5hrs. I was enjoying disc 2 more than disc 1 but then it just became instrumentals.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 07 2025

This was a bit all over the place for me. Hated Nebraska, liked Atlantic City, disliked Mansion on the hill, rinse and repeat...

Apr 08 2025

Really not into instrumentals but this is pretty solid background music.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Apr 09 2025

This didn't sit quite right with me. It feels really depressing but also sweet at the same time?

This Is Fats Domino by Fats Domino
Apr 10 2025

So good I listened to it twice in a row. Loved Blueberry Hill, Going Home and Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

I was certain this would be a one but it kind of grew on me. I even mostly enjoyed AB/7A. I'd recommend reading up a little on the band and band members, they're interesting people and some are still making music today in theirs 70s.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Apr 14 2025

I know Elvis Presley already so I knew I'd enjoy this album. I don't love his covers though. Ray Charles and Little Richard do I've Got a Woman and Tutti Frutti a million times better than Elvis does.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Apr 15 2025

This really grew on me. The samples are great. The lyrics are sometimes cringeworthy but fun. But I don't think I'd listen to this again.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 21 2025
Gasoline Alley by Rod Stewart
Apr 24 2025

Didn't think I'd enjoy this as much as I did.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Apr 30 2025
Good Old Boys by Randy Newman
May 02 2025

I like Toy Story, I did not like this.

Ctrl by SZA
May 07 2025
Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
May 08 2025
Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 13 2025

Never been a Linkin Park fan but I really enjoyed this album.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
May 15 2025
May 19 2025

There are some fantastic songs on this album (You're my Best Friend, Bohemian Rhapsody!!), but it's just gets dragged down by the bad songs. What even is I'm In Love With My Car??

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 20 2025

Love love love the album art and love the songs.

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jun 27 2025

Another fairly mediocre 80s album.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jul 01 2025

Superstition and I Believe are great songs but they just can't save this album. There rest of the tracks are just so boring.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 07 2025
KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jul 08 2025
Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jul 09 2025

I don't know about this one. I can't decide if I liked it, I can't really see myself listening to it very often. Painter of Women was pretty weird.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 16 2025
Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
Jul 18 2025

Hard to rate this one. I loved some of the songs and hated some others. My stand outs were Birds and Ships and Hoodoo Voodoo.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 22 2025
Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jul 29 2025
Heroes by David Bowie
Jul 30 2025
Tidal by Fiona Apple
Aug 05 2025
Solid Air by John Martyn
Aug 07 2025

Not a fan of this. It just felt a bit too Dave Matthews Band for me. Only song I liked was Over the Hill.

Wild Gift by X
Aug 15 2025

This was great, very fun punky album.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Aug 19 2025

I was enjoying it at first but it was just too long and it all felt too similar.

Tommy by The Who
Aug 21 2025

Good album, some of the songs were quite strange though. Better listened to in one go, rather than listening to the songs separately.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Aug 29 2025

Incredibly lame. "You're a outré risqué locomotive, driving me crazy."

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Sep 05 2025

Didn't like this as much as I thought i would. Take Me Out is great but overall the album felt quite dated and not very interesting.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Sep 10 2025

I enjoyed the vibe of the album but a lot of the lyrics were quite juvenile. It also does feel a lot like a Snoop Dogg album, he's featured so heavily.

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Sep 11 2025
At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Sep 12 2025

It's a Johnny Cash album. Nothing more to be said.

Be by Common
Sep 19 2025
Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 26 2025
Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Oct 01 2025

Yeah this was pretty crude.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Oct 02 2025
Very by Pet Shop Boys
Oct 08 2025
Harvest by Neil Young
Oct 20 2025
Closer by Joy Division
Oct 23 2025
Frank by Amy Winehouse
Oct 27 2025

Thought I would like this but it's just too much. Too over the top and a little annoying.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Oct 28 2025

Too corny for me.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Nov 07 2025

Liked this so much i finished listening and then started the album up from the beginning again.

Palo Congo by Sabu
Nov 20 2025

Definitely would've enjoyed this more without the vocals

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Nov 21 2025

Literally so boring.

Winter In America by Gil Scott-Heron
Nov 26 2025

Not really my thing- not a huge jazz fan, but the politics did feel fairly current.

Berlin by Lou Reed
Nov 27 2025
Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy
Nov 28 2025

I think this is the worst rap album I've listened to so far as part of this project. It felt like I was at a poetry reading or something. Overly pretentious and wordy.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Dec 08 2025

I thought I'd really enjoy this album based on how much i love Cry to Me, but the other reviews are correct, the other songs on this album are just a bit lacking. My two standouts were Cry to Me and Someone to Love Me, i don't think I'd listen to this album again.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Dec 09 2025

I wish he'd stop mumbling, its driving me crazy. Another album i thought I'd like more than I actually did.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Dec 10 2025

I knew I remembered Basement Jaxx from somewhere and it took until I listened to Red Alert for me to place them. It was also the only song I really enjoyed on the album.

California by American Music Club
Dec 11 2025

I was ok with the first few songs, they were reminding me a little of The Smiths, but then things got a little weird through the middle of the album and ultimately I was a little bored.

Dec 19 2025

After over 200 albums I've finally found one i actually owned at some point in my life. This is a great album.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Dec 31 2025

I understand why so many people love Dolly Parton now. This album was just gorgeous the whole way through.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jan 01 2026

I really have a hard time rating the Pogues. I don't really like their music but its oddly catchy.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jan 14 2026
Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Jan 16 2026

I feel bad rating this poorly but I just don't like jazz.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 19 2026

This really has aged poorly. Don't think i would ever voluntarily choose to listen to this album.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 20 2026
Trio by Dolly Parton
Jan 29 2026
Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 03 2026

It was nice but difficult to listen to.

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 06 2026

Really didn't need to hear this. He gives me slight Robbie Williams vibe - that cheesiness, but nowhere near as catchy as a Robbie Williams song.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Mar 02 2026

Not my favourite Bowie album. Changes is great but the other songs didn't really appeal to me.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Mar 03 2026

Thought I would hate this at first but it's actually not too bad, it's quite pleasant in the background. Favourite track was Unchained Melody.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Mar 05 2026
The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Mar 09 2026

I listened to a decent chunk of this. Some of the songs are really good, others are a little depressing. It's excessively long, they should have picked the ten or twenty best songs, made one or two albums and binned the rest.

Arular by M.I.A.
Mar 13 2026
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Mar 17 2026

It feels a little long at the start and the song names all feel very of that era, but it rounds out to be a great album. There's something very uplifting in Sufjan Stevens' melodies.

OK by Talvin Singh
Mar 19 2026

Not really for me. Most of the songs are nice background music but I didn't enjoy the vocals.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Mar 20 2026

This list is making me like Elvis a whole lot less than I previously did. I like bluesy, rock n roll Elvis. I don't like Elvis the crooner. I did not enjoy this album.

Ten by Pearl Jam
Mar 24 2026
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Apr 06 2026

I didn't mind this, very dark and moody.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Apr 10 2026

A big album with an interesting concept but I don't think I'll ever choose to listen to it again.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Apr 13 2026

Feels very 90s in a way that isn't appealing to me.

The Specials by The Specials
Apr 15 2026

I find ska music to be a little jarring and annoying at times. This album definitely did initially trigger those feelings in me but it did grow on me. I think I would listen to some of these songs again, but not the entire album.

Third by Portishead
Apr 16 2026

Too intense for me

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 14 2026

I didn't mind this. Its co.pletely unfamiliar to me but almost meditative. I don't think I'd choose to listen to it independently, but I'll definitely tune in when I want some focus music.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 15 2026

Sympathy for the Devil is a great song, the rest of the album kinda sucks though.

Jun 01 2026

Such a powerful album, but the misogyny kind of ruins it for me.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jun 02 2026

No idea what she's saying but its gorgeous nonetheless.

Vespertine by Björk
Jun 03 2026

Never listened to a Bjork album before and clearly I've been missing out.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jun 08 2026

I think i would've liked this if anyone besides Neil Young sang the songs.

Different Class by Pulp
Jul 17 2026

Much better than 'This is Hardcore', but still not an album i would choose to listen to.

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Jul 29 2026

Quite boring at the start, but there were a few highlights- How can you expect to be taken seriously? and So Hard were my favourites.

Signing Off by UB40
Jul 31 2026

Not bad, just a little boring.
