Popular Reviews

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

3/5. The album is decent background music. Helpless is a good track. No real bangers on this one though, no meat to chew.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock

Elevator music, but I've heard much worse from this list. 3/5. Maybe I just have an unrefined, cromagnon ear, but there is a lot of HOT GARBAGE on this list. This artsy fartsy bullshit sucks. Give me some beats, give me some hits!

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 02 2025

Great background listen! I didn't know the riff from "Bad To The Bone" came from "Mannish Boy" on this album.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jan 03 2025

Have listened to this one a lot in the past. Some great classics!

Tapestry by Carole King
Jan 04 2025

It’s a good album but not my genre. It’s one of my mom and her best friend Anne’s favorites, though!

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 05 2025

Legendary classic! This one is awesome top to bottom, and has got some great singles. One of my all time favorites.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 06 2025

It's okay. I love "Paint It Black," the first track on the album. The rest of the album falls flat for me. I'm sure for my dad, who grew up in this generation, the album was significant. Just not for me. 2/5.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 07 2025

Great album! Almost always, if a song has a horn, backup singers, or a surprise, I'm in. And there are a lot of horns in this album. The track "Chicago" is my favorite (I knew this song before listening to the album). I listened to the album 2x, and am on my third revolution right now. I'll be exploring more Sufjan Stevens.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jan 08 2025

It was a decent album, 3/5. I like a few songs by Depeche Mode but none of them are from this album.

Jan 09 2025

The album overall is great, old country. I've only recently discovered any country music that I like. The stuff that I do like that's contemporary, has an older feel to it, harkening back to music like this but more rich (given that it's written more recently). I'd give this album a 4/5.

69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields
Jan 10 2025

This is a 3 disc album and I am more than good after listening to the first disc. I guess some people like this. I found it boring as shit musically. It's definitely poetic in delivery, an album of love songs title 69, but it's fuckin' garbage music. 0/5 if I could, but I'll have to settle for a 1/5. Get me the fuck out of here.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 11 2025

It's a good album. "Let's Get It On" is my favorite track, and by far peoples' favorite in general given the number of listens in comparison to the number of listens for the others. 3/5.

Homework by Daft Punk
Jan 12 2025

This is a great album! I listen to this type of music but it's not a primary for me. I understand why Daft Punk gained such popularity off of this one! 4/5. EDIT: I think I'm going 3/5. My previous assessment came halfway through the album. It gets a little esoteric deeper in.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jan 13 2025

Another great album. "Paper Planes" is a favorite of mine, one of those where I remember the when and where of my first listen. There are some other great tracks on this album too. I'm going 3/5 because I can't go 7/10.

The Clash by The Clash
Jan 14 2025

It's okay. Not really my speed though.

The Cars by The Cars
Jan 15 2025

I like "Just What I Needed". The rest of the album is okay, in that if I never heard it again I would be okay. "Best Friend's Girl" isn't bad either. 3/5.

The College Dropout by Kanye West
Jan 16 2025

This is a good album, 3/5. I'm not a huge fan of Kanye West generally, but he does have some nice tracks. Of the 21 tracks on this album, four (4) are on my "liked" songs list.

Supa Dupa Fly by Missy Elliott
Jan 17 2025

This album has some great tracks! I had this one back in '97 when it came out. 3/5

Low-Life by New Order
Jan 18 2025

It was okay. Not really my type of music. Very '80s feel.

Kenya by Machito
Jan 19 2025

Great Jazz Album! Not something I would go listen to everyday, but wonderful background music. 4/5

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 20 2025

This album is not great, not my style. 2/5

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jan 21 2025

Not my style. Kind of boring metal, honestly. I'm sure it was revolutionary in its time, but not now. No bangers either. 2/5.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jan 23 2025

Pre: Never really been a Dead fan save a few songs. Interested to see how this goes. Mid: I'm on the penultimate track, and I can say with honesty that I'm still not a Dead fan. Post: It's over. Thank the lord. 1/5.

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Jan 24 2025

I like "The Weight", but can do without the rest. My ear hears singing as melody more so than lyrics, and the lead singer's voice isn't that great, nor does it pair well with the music. I've heard much worse though: 3/5.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
Jan 25 2025

As I get into this one, it feels like a 2-3/5. I'm familiar with some of it. It's okay, but not hard hitting. Post Listen: 2/5. Not my style.

Triangle by The Beau Brummels
Jan 26 2025

Garbage. Never heard these nerds before, and I hope to never again. 1/5.

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
Jan 27 2025

This album is great! It's got a couple of bangers, and generally has a great energy to it. Strong 3/5.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Jan 28 2025

They've got a couple of tracks that are good, one of which is on this album. It's okay, okay minus. I'll go a soft 3/5.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jan 29 2025

Not my type of music at all. 2/5 because it didn't make my ears bleed, and it didn't kill my enthusiasm for music generally. But it's not a good album.

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Jan 30 2025

I've really been on a weak run here. I'm on the 2nd to last track on this one and it's bunk. I'll give it a 2/5 to be generous.

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
Jan 31 2025

Rock bottom is listening to this album through to the end. This guy's voice is best suited for silent mic karaoke. My toddlers have written better melodies on their Fisher Price xylophone, which is the instrument I'm pretty sure was used in the recording of this album. That and ballon rubber. I surrender, just make it stop. 1/5 because 0/5 isn't an option.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 01 2025

It's a decent album with some famous hits. Not my favorite music but not my least favorite either. Solid 3/5.

Timeless by Goldie
Feb 03 2025

Didn't listen all the way through because it made me ill. 1/5. I'm not into techno.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Feb 04 2025

It was okay, just old. It was progressive in its time, I'm sure.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
Feb 06 2025

Do you like to listen to women scream over mediocre melodies in a repetitive fashion? If so, boy have I got the album for you. 1/5

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 08 2025

I like David Bowie. This album isn't a chart topper for me, but it's better than a lot of what I've heard from this list recently. 3/5

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Feb 09 2025

2/5. It's elevator music, but not bad.

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Feb 10 2025

3/5. It's a classic album and has a few old school bangers. Run D.M.C. are definitely due credit for their influence on hip hop early on. My preferable taste comes on in the next few years after this album's release.

Bossanova by Pixies
Feb 11 2025

2/5. Not my speed.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Feb 12 2025

This is a great album! Aretha Franklin is a great artist, and this album is good top to bottom. Already had one track from this album in my favorites, and now I have two. 4/5.

Music by Madonna
Feb 13 2025

It's a decent album, but not my taste typically. 3/5

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 14 2025

I'm not going to say this was bad, because I don't think it is. However, it is more boring than listening to paint peel. 2/5

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Feb 15 2025

It's okay. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but it's not bad. I'll be generous. 3/5

Feb 16 2025

2/5. I've heard worse from this list, but this doesn't qualify as good in any respect.

A Wizard, A True Star by Todd Rundgren
Feb 17 2025

This isn't the worst, but again not my taste. I'd say it's a 2.5, but I can't lean into it. 2/5

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 18 2025

This is a good album. Battery is my favorite track, and Master of Puppets is great too. I'd go 3.75, so it's a 4/5.

The Holy Bible by Manic Street Preachers
Feb 19 2025

2/5. I couldn't get through this one. There are too many bad albums on this list. it's really killing my motivation.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Feb 21 2025

This is decent, a nice discovery. 3/5

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 22 2025

This is a good album! I like it! 3/5

evermore by Taylor Swift
Feb 23 2025

3/5. Not bad, but not my style. Sounds a lot like some other music. Lana Del Rey comes to mind. Don't think I'll ever qualify as a Swiftie

Bad by Michael Jackson
Feb 24 2025

4/5. Solid classic

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 25 2025

This is a good one. 4/5

Real Life by Magazine
Feb 26 2025

British punk/rock. 2/5. Not my style.

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Feb 28 2025

2/5. I can't say the album is bad, it's just not my type of music.

Mar 01 2025

This is a good album! I like the first track better than the rest. Solid 3/5.

The Blueprint by JAY Z
Mar 02 2025

Dope album. I'm very familiar. I'd give it a 3.5 for my taste, but I can't lean toward 4. 3/5.

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 03 2025

This is a solid album. It listens well top to bottom. 4/5.

Mar 04 2025

Pre-listen, 3 of these tracks are already on my liked songs list. Solid album. I'm not a Kanye-as-a-person fan, and I wouldn't really consider myself a fan of Kanye-the-artist, but this album is good. Can't deny it. 4/5.

Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout
Mar 05 2025

2/5. I'm not into it. It's too soft, like music you hear in an elevator.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Mar 06 2025

3/5. The album is decent background music. Helpless is a good track. No real bangers on this one though, no meat to chew.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 07 2025

This is a 1/5. This music sucks. It's not the worst I've heard as in I think the artists were trying to make something cohesive and listenable, but it's still shit. Just not as bas as some of the other shit I've heard from this list.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg
Mar 10 2025

2/5. Not a huge fan of Snoops music, though I like his cameos on other artists' tracks.

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Mar 13 2025

2/5. Who TF listens to this music?

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Mar 14 2025

It's a decent album but not my taste. I'd go 2.7, so it's a 3/5

Green by R.E.M.
Mar 15 2025

I don't like R.E.M. I'll give this a 2/5 since there are a couple of hits on it (not that they are hits for me) as a legacy valuation. Would be a 1 otherwise.

Arrival by ABBA
Mar 16 2025

3/5. I've heard worse. Pretty good listen for the first time.

Slayed? by Slade
Mar 17 2025

I'd go 2.5 so I'll go 3/5. It's your typical hairband rock album.

Boston by Boston
Mar 18 2025

3/5. This is a good album! Never really listened to Boston much but I like it!

Rust In Peace by Megadeth
Mar 19 2025

It's a decent album, 3/5. I'm not a huge fan of Metal, especially this older metal, but it's not too bad. Love the album art.

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 20 2025

Listening to this album was a huge waste of time surpassed only by Kraftwerk's efforts to make it. Why isn't there a 0/5 option? 1/5

Ocean Rain by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 21 2025

2/5. Not horrible, but garbage to my ears.

1984 by Van Halen
Mar 23 2025

This is a phenomenal album! It’s a strong 4.6-4.7. Bangers, new found bangers, great flow, creative, this is one that I could get stuck on for a while. 5/5

The Who Sell Out by The Who
Mar 24 2025

This one is kind of weird and artsy. I like The Who, but I can't jam to this. 2/5.

Mar 25 2025

I don't even know. I'm on my first listen through and I've just had it on in the background while working and thinking. I haven't heard a note that I didn't like, much less a song. Not sure if there are enough stars available to rate this one accurately. Yeah, 5/5. This album is excellent!

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Mar 26 2025

Not my style. Very melancholy across the board. I'm sure the lyrics are good, but my ear picks up singing as harmony, not words, so I have to get outside of myself to know what's being said. Not terrible, just not for me. 2/5

Mask by Bauhaus
Mar 27 2025

Hot garbage. Did someone throw a wrench down a drainpipe? Yes, to cleanse my palate after listening to this afterbirth of an album. We really need a 0 star option.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Mar 28 2025

Not a fan of country music, generally. This isn't the worst I've heard, though. 2/5

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Mar 29 2025

Solid album, but it's definitely from my dad's generation. I wouldn't put it on repeate, but it's a 4/5.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 30 2025

This is a good album! I like the opening track "Cannibal Resource". They have a bit of a Sufjan Stevens feel. 3.6/5, so I'm going 3/5. Don't think a 4 is warranted.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Mar 31 2025

There is exactly one track on this album worth a damn: "Two Weeks". Were it not for this track, it would be a solid 1/5. Instead, I'll give it a 2/5.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 01 2025

It's a decent album, 3/5. I like the sound in a general sense, but don't necessarily pursue this type of music often. Sad that she's gone.

Sea Change by Beck
Apr 02 2025

oof 2/5. Just not that into Beck

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
Apr 03 2025

Automatic 3/5 because Wu-Tang. This album's dope too. I found a couple of bangers that I like: Shakey Dog and Three Bricks. I'd say a 3.7/5, so we'll go 4/5.

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Apr 04 2025

I skimmed through this one. It's fuckin' weird. Read the description before you waste your time. 1/5.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Apr 05 2025

It's okay. I can hear a few, more current albums in this one. 3/5.

Apr 08 2025

It's a decent album. No bangers. I would go 2.5 maybe, so 3/5.

The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter by The Incredible String Band
Apr 10 2025

2/5, only because I've heard worse. They'll really let anybody put out an album, won't they?

On The Beach by Neil Young
Apr 12 2025

Meh. Neil Young's got some good songs, and I used to be into him much more. Now, all I hear is whining. 2/5.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Apr 13 2025

Boring, but not bad. 3/5

High Violet by The National
Apr 14 2025

This album isn't bad, but it's boring asf. I really wish we had a 10 point scale instead of a 5. This would be a great candidate for a 4/10. 3/5

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 15 2025

5/5. This is a classic, been listening to it my whole life.

Technique by New Order
Apr 16 2025

It's a good album. Typical 80s music. 3/5.

Sheet Music by 10cc
Apr 17 2025

This is a decent album. I'd never heard of 10cc, but they sound very much like the 70s. I'm going 3/5 because it's not bad, but not great either.

Legalize It by Peter Tosh
Apr 18 2025

Great album! Hadn't listened to it in a long time, but solid top to bottom! 5/5

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 20 2025

Great album! Takes me back to my youth. 4/5

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 26 2025

Pre-listen: I've already got one of these songs in my liked songs list. Solid Album! 4/5. It's got a few bangers, and unique singing voices.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Apr 27 2025

This is okay, I guess. I'll go 3/5, but it's on the lower end. Maybe a 2.6

Graceland by Paul Simon
Apr 28 2025

Paul Simon really explores the limits of his own creativity. This doesn't sound overly original, but it's not bad. 3/5.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Apr 29 2025

It's a good album. One of the tracks has a sound that has been sampled into modern music, but I can't put my finger on where I've heard it. 3/5

Tigermilk by Belle & Sebastian
Apr 30 2025

Not terrible but not my thing. 3/5

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
May 01 2025

Only 1 of the tracks is available on Spotify, so this 28 track album will be judged entirely on my feelings about that track: Hair Pie: Bake 1. HOT GARBAGE! 1/5

Who's Next by The Who
May 02 2025

This is a good album, and one I've listened to before! I would say 7/10, so I'm going 4/5.

Diamond Life by Sade
May 05 2025

It's okay. Not my genre, but not bad music. 3/5

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 06 2025

This one's pretty good. I like a couple of the well known tracks alot. I would go 7/10, so 3/5.

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
May 07 2025

This is not really my type of music, but it's not bad. 3/5.

Kid A by Radiohead
May 08 2025

I used to go to bed listening to this album every night. It's not one I would necessarily bang going down the highway, but it's great in its own right. 4/5

May 10 2025

This is a good album! I can see why Elton John is so popular. I like Candle in the Wind, one of my grandmother's favorites (RIP). I'd go 7.8/10, so 4/5.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
May 11 2025

I'm not sure what this is other than boring. Really not my kind of music. I'm going 3/5 because it's actual music and not experimental bullshit, but it's not good music.

Revolver by Beatles
May 13 2025

This is decent, 3/5. Beatles definitely have some hits, but I'm not totally enamored by them. But they're good.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
May 14 2025

Another garbage album. I'm really not into experimental type shit. 2/5

Blur by Blur
May 15 2025

2/5. Song 2 is a classic, and I still like it. But it can't carry the weight of this dumpster fire.

Third by Portishead
May 16 2025

Christ almighty. I actually know a person that likes and makes this type of garbage music. Maybe liking this is a reflection of extremely dulled senses from too much cocaine use, permitting only the most vile atrocities of the ear to strike the person's interest. Fuck me. 2/5, but only because it's not flat-earth level stupid. Fucking WHY?! jesus christ

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
May 17 2025

Elevator music, but I've heard much worse from this list. 3/5. Maybe I just have an unrefined, cromagnon ear, but there is a lot of HOT GARBAGE on this list. This artsy fartsy bullshit sucks. Give me some beats, give me some hits!

First Band On The Moon by The Cardigans
May 18 2025

This is decent. There's one hit on it. I'll go 3/5, but I'd say it's right-in-the-middle average.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
May 19 2025

Did the person putting this list together have a long career in the NFL, because you'd have to have some extreme CTE to put some of these shit albums on this list. Christ almighty I hate this pots-and-pans-banging-and-call-it-music bullshit. Fucking nerds ruin everything. 1/5

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
May 20 2025

I'm unsure why this music is so popular. This album is very cartoonish in it's sounds, if you ask me. Not the worst I've heard, however. 3/5

Beautiful Freak by Eels
May 21 2025

This shit sucks too. This fucking list man, I swear. I am really questioning my life decisions. 3/5.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 22 2025

Yeah, no. This must be French or Italian. Not my cup of tea. But not the worst on this list. 3/5.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
May 23 2025

2/5. This is just bad music.

Debut by Björk
May 24 2025

This is actually decent. Not my style, I'd say, but not bad. I'd go 6.5/10, so 3/5.

Post Orgasmic Chill by Skunk Anansie
May 26 2025

This album is a surprise, in a good way! I'm going 3/5 because I wouldn't say there are any bangers, but I enjoyed it.

The Stranger by Billy Joel
May 27 2025

Not really my style, but not horrible. 3/5.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 28 2025

It's just fucking weird, man. 3/5 because it's not bad music, just weird. would be a 3.5/10.

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
May 29 2025

I've heard worse! Seriously though, this isn't a bad album. I would go 6/10, so it's a 3/5.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 30 2025

Solid Album. 7/10 so I'm going 4/5. Some real 80s bangers, great singing and creativity, and overall lively.

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jun 01 2025

Good album. I know why I know her name. Not one I'll listen to regularly, but good for a go.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jun 02 2025

It's okay. I'm not really into country music, especially this era. The entire album sounded the same, top to bottom. 3/5.
