Popular Reviews

A great soul album from one of the legends of the genre. Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect" blows the original out of the water though.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix

I mean it's Jimi Hendrix. So many iconic songs here, an amazing debut album.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

Interesting, although I prefer my punk non-bluesy. Elvis impressions were pretty fun. Side note - what a terrible album cover. Favs: Wail, 2Kindsa Love

Among The Living by Anthrax
Dec 30 2024

Pretty decent thrash album. Great riffs! Favs: Among The Living, Caught In A Mosh

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper

Very emotional, great debut album. Favs: Oh My Lover, O Stella, Dress, Sheela-na-gig, Plants and Rags

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Jan 05 2025

Pretty fun, shame it’s not on Spotify.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Jan 06 2025

Great jazz, terrible rapping.

Deloused in the Comatorium by The Mars Volta
Jan 08 2025

Amazing drumming, but I find the lead singer's voice grating, especially considering that this is an hour-long album.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jan 09 2025

Top 3 Bowie for me.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jan 10 2025

Well, I wasn't even born yet when this album came out so no nostalgia. Feels really dated, rap-metal is painfully cringey, especially with these emo lyrics.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Jan 11 2025

I like it. Good background music to listen to while working or just chilling.

Devil Without A Cause by Kid Rock
Jan 13 2025

Another rap-rock album, another 1-star. Just not enjoyable for me at all. Can't wait to get Limp Bizkit and add another 1 to my collection.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jan 14 2025

It's alright. The music itself is great. Not a fan of the screaming, though I get that it's essential especially considering the subject matter of this album (and every other RATM album tbh).

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Jan 15 2025

Lots of bangers, probably a 5 when you're high as fuck. That crab looks like it's having fun, and so did I when listening to this album.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Jan 18 2025

The singles are good, the rest of the songs are just mid.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jan 19 2025

As 80s as it gets. Not the biggest fan of Tina.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Jan 20 2025

Interesting, but I don't see myself revisiting this album in the future.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jan 22 2025

𝙨𝙢𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙝

Cut by The Slits
Jan 24 2025

Really fun album, I like the fusion of punk and reggae.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 25 2025

Very enjoyable and energetic, Muddy Waters is a legend.

Abraxas by Santana
Jan 27 2025

Just not interesting to me, felt a lot longer than it actually is.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 28 2025

Really wanted to enjoy this album more, but it's just too unmemorable.

Being There by Wilco
Jan 29 2025

Just no. I despise anything country-related.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 30 2025

What a snooze

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jan 31 2025

Pretty fun

The Atomic Mr Basie by Count Basie & His Orchestra
Feb 01 2025

Solid, I guess jazz just isn't for me.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Feb 02 2025

Bonus point for Anderson .Paak

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Feb 04 2025

Catchy and enjoyable, despite its length.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Feb 05 2025

Kinda similar to Bowie, i liked it. "In Every Dream Home A Heartache" is definitely the highlight for me.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Feb 07 2025

Didn't really capture my attention, and the fact that it's almost an hour long certainly does not help.

Feb 08 2025

A great soul album from one of the legends of the genre. Aretha Franklin's version of "Respect" blows the original out of the water though.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Feb 10 2025

Jaco Pastorius' bass is obviously fantastic, but the album itself is pretty hit and miss, especially "A Remark You Made" and "Rumba Mama".

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Feb 11 2025

I mean it's Jimi Hendrix. So many iconic songs here, an amazing debut album.

Synchronicity by The Police
Feb 12 2025

Not bad but not really interesting either.

Feb 13 2025

Too bad he doesn't care about anything other than seeking attention nowadays. "Name one genius that ain't crazy" I guess.

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Feb 14 2025

Well, all this ramblin' has its charm. The fact that the song about a boll weevil is immediately followed by a song about bedbugs is just spectacular.

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 15 2025

I get that they're influential, but I just can't stand the screaming. The samples and beats are great though, would probably give it a 4 if it was an instrumental album.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Feb 19 2025

It’s okay I guess, just a bunch of catchy, non-offensive tracks.

Feb 20 2025

Boring. Coldplay comparisons are pretty accurate.
