Popular Reviews

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams

So, this is the debut of Robbie Williams, who had been dubbed as the fat dancer of Take That, a boyband group that did not reach me, maybe because I was born just as they were peaking and split just as I was just a toddler, I have heard tracks by them but if you ask me(guy from South America) they weren't memorable. Life Thru a Lens destiles what was popular in the UK over 95 to 97 and sold it in a pretty package. However if you can have the real thing, why get a imitation? Angels follows the balladry roadmap made famous by Oasis and if they weren't so much into the mirror and the razor blade they could have had a big hit like that on that year(Don't Go Away and Stand By Me are the ballads of their 1997 album Be Here Now, which are killed for public consumption by too many guitar overdubs and over length). Let Me Entertain You is a nice change of pace later in the album, but this project is not one that I will listen to very much after writing this review. Maybe my review is too harsh, but I went into it knowing the best tracks and the others were just ok. https://youtube.com/shorts/NkElJrwC3_k a lighthearted moment non monkey man related 5/10

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath

So, I hadn't heard of this album in full. Only NIB one time ages ago, this slaps, but also has space for growth. 4/5 RIP Ozzy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkcRxCUZWB0

Fragile by Yes

Jojo memes here (and a pretty darn good album)

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground

This might not be a perfect recording album, there are times where the drummer does not know whether the band is still going and if they need to stop, but it gives it a charm that otherwise it wouldn't have.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen

Very bleak listen, no redemption is found to the characters in the album, there's no rainbow at the end of the road, just the everyday life of middle America. Not something I'd listen regularly, but it's a nice change of pace in the boss discography 7/10

1-Star Albums (10)

All Ratings (416)

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 02 2025

Knew the singles from back in the day, had not heard the full LP beforehand. It's interesting, cause before today Clint Eastwood was the highlight, but Rock The House took the spot today from today. The ending track was annoying.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jan 03 2025

After first listen, side A classic, side B needs a bit of time to get used to. Geddy's voice is fine.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Jan 06 2025

There are nice elements in this album(specially the backing vocals) , but the reverb at some points is too much for my liking. Maybe it would've been revelating to listen when it was released, but as it is right now it's just a palate cleanser

Jan 07 2025

So far this is the first one that I've heard it beforehand in full and it's a 10, no much more to say, everyone in Floyd was at top of their game in the studio for the recording of this album.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 08 2025

I laughed with the kind of mexican ranchera intro of Vamos. Everyone knows that Where's my mind is a classic for a reason, great songwriting from a band entering its prime years. Nirvana borrowed a trick or two but Kim Deal's backing vocals make this one way better than what Nirvana did to rule the world (Nevermind) 9/10

Home Is Where The Music Is by Hugh Masekela
Jan 09 2025

Jazz does not interest me in a full LP form. I just need to listen to it more before having a fair judgement

Smash by The Offspring
Jan 10 2025

Music is alright, not something I would get out of my way to hear, maybe a greatest hits type of thing.

Heaven Or Las Vegas by Cocteau Twins
Jan 11 2025

I had heard Loveless and Nowhere and see elements of that in here, but I prefer more focused lyrics. At times it works especially on the title track. But sometimes I want to hear something I can relate to.

Melodrama by Lorde
Jan 12 2025

I feel like in the one listen I had it has something to offer but I just can't relate to it. I liked some songs on the first listen but it was more subdued than what I'd want to. And that's fine, but just not for me to listen in a full album.

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jan 13 2025

I'd say that it's a pretty unremarkable album, one that has been lost in time to the wayside of better artists, it has good instrumentation, but I feel like it has a Morrissey wannabe without having the lyrical prowess of Moz. However it does not have the magic of Marr too. Bongos to fill up the sound at times was a good decision. Having synth sax was not, do the real thing.

Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jan 14 2025

Great orchestration, it was a soothing experience, but I think I need more time to get it 8/10

Illmatic by Nas
Jan 15 2025

A hood classic Nas showing lyrical prowess impressive to his age at the time of recording.

The La's by The La's
Jan 16 2025

Influential indie rock album from the UK that inspired the mid 90s britpop scene well crafted pop songs, Looking Glass has nice lyrics but the length is not justified. Nice tempo change to finish, impressive drummer to not let it out of control. I had heard this album years ago and while the singles are the strongest of the bunch(There she goes, Feelin) it is a consistent listen. Maybe someone shouldve said Lee Mavers(lead singer/acoustic guitar) to not strum as hard as he did. But maybe that's part of the charm of the band.

Cross by Justice
Jan 17 2025

Starts strong, but after a while it gets tiring. Maybe that was their intention.

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 18 2025

Hotel California is popular for a reason, but it doesn't speaks to me wholly. The singles bang, victim of love verses are alright, but the chorus falters. The rest were okish but without a low light. 7/10

The Velvet Underground & Nico by The Velvet Underground
Jan 20 2025

This might not be a perfect recording album, there are times where the drummer does not know whether the band is still going and if they need to stop, but it gives it a charm that otherwise it wouldn't have.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jan 21 2025

It's long winded, but I kinda like it. It was a great introduction to Elliott Smith.

LP1 by FKA twigs
Jan 22 2025

Downtempo electronic music, not my jam

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jan 23 2025

It has it's great moments (Grey Lagoons, Do the Strand), but the experimentation at times put me off. I do like Glam Rock, but this took it farther than what I would've expected, maybe that was the role of Eno in the group. 7/10

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
Jan 24 2025

Tina Turner is great singer, but this album didn't left me wanting to hear it again.

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jan 25 2025

Jeff Buckley inspired a lot of UK singers to do soulful falsetto (famously Thom Yorke left a Buckley in tears to complete Fake Plastic Trees), Travis was another big band from the era that have kuddos to the great Jeff. Muse too were inspired by the american singersongwriter(Matt Belamy bought Buckley's telecaster 3 years ago) Parachutes is a perfect autumn/winter time album, from the soft landing Don't Panic to the euphoric chorus of Everything's not Lost this is a band that began their way following the steps of their peers, but found more success than the rest. Imagine writing a single about the yellow pages and it becomes the signature song of your band instead of the intended single (Shiver a song about not being noticed, life finds a way to make jokes sometimes). I tried to learn some of the songs in acoustic guitar, but Chris Martin loves tuning the guitars in weird ways(at least true for this album). While I don't like what the band became after Viva La Vida this is an stunning debut. 7/10 Shiver should've been more popular than what it was.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Jan 27 2025

I will rate it as 9/10 the Sax could get in the voice ways in at least two cuts(girl from Ipanema and some other one from side B), but other than that it was a great soothing listen.

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 28 2025

Need more listens, but it was nice to hear Miles and his way of forward thinking ways. 7/10

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jan 29 2025

Engaging at times, too many interludes at others, an update to the Misseducation of Lauryn Hill, but I don't feel it had a unique doo wop(that thing) that is a highlight above the rest of the material. 6/10

Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Jan 30 2025

I am listening for the second time the album just to confirm my feelings, something I havent felt the need on any of the albums beforehand. In The Flowers is a strong opener, but I dont feel the payoff I expected, the drums are nice. Also Frightened sounds like band was drunk while recording the vocals, or the layering makes me feel like I'm stumbling in a boat. I feel like this album is like an Onion, I just need to keep peeling the layers before I can get it. Daily Routine has a riff after a bit of singing that sounds annoying to me. 22:49 I feel annoyed(this is the bit where the riff is at the forefront) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmmHQpjR8LY (LP rip of the album) Guys Eyes pulls me back in for a little bit. This is my first experience listening to AC, so it's not something that spoke to me in my first or second listens, it is impressive technically speaking, but https://x.com/soocayne/status/1227436682707980290 6/10

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jan 31 2025

Blister in the sun was a banger I knew beforehand, loved this album. Maybe I'd rather not have a slow jam to finish the project, but thats just me nitpicking. Sounds way better than other albums I have heard of the same years and it has no annoying reverb drums that were the bane of the 80's

Bossanova by Pixies
Feb 01 2025

It started out weird, but with a vibe that I love (surf rock) the Nirvana connection is not as prominent on this one but still you can get some hints of it. All in all a great album. Maybe Stormy Weather should've been more cooked in the lyrical aspect or put out as a B-side.

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Feb 02 2025

I am Straight sounds like Marcy Playground, earlier cuts sound like a hybrid of The Doors and VU, it could've been more influential if it was released in 1972 instead of 76. The group that recorded this album went to greener pastures. How strange is that Mr Cale released a cover of Pablo Picasso before the band had their album out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Nf5aOrL3sc Other than that, it did not move me. Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) - keys Ernie Brooks (David Johansen) - bass David Robinson (The Cars) - drums Jonathan Richman - vocals, guitar 4/10

GI by Germs
Feb 03 2025

This is an influential work that paved the way for hardcore punk, but at times the bass and drums felt out of place, the snarl of Darby led to some lyrics being unintelligible, he was the star of the show when it was clearer, but that's wasn't always the case. Pat Smear plays some interesting stuff in the album. And the final song feels unnecesary long for what it was. But who says you need to be proficient to be good in music? It might not be the most technically gifted group or the best engineering work, and that's what it gives it a character that pop-punk post 90's does not have. 5/10 It won't join my listening playlist but I respect it for what it is, a group channeling chaos

Feb 04 2025

Incredible stuff from Elton, Funeral for a Friend / Love Lies Bleeding took off at the 3rd minute of the song and it doesnt really takes a breath until Jamaica Jerk-off. Incredible album that its near perfection for example the fake crowd in Bennie and The Jets, the lyrical matter of Jamaican Jerkoff, why is the bass drum that loud in I've Seen That Movie Too? ( https://imgur.com/FbXI0Vo comment from the Youtube upload of that track) after the rest of the instruments get louder it is less noticeable Of the deepcuts that I didnt know Grey Seal stood out as a highlight of the album alongside Bennie and The Jets, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) 9.75/10

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Feb 06 2025

Nice, relaxing, would not pick it again.

Signing Off by UB40
Feb 07 2025

I feel like it has a message but it did not reach nor move me. This is the first one I rate one star.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Feb 08 2025

Fun https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W516wEFmmPE

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Feb 09 2025

It's crazy how technology has changed the ways music was recorded, back in the 50's it was set up so the live performance was recorded in studio without overdubs just like the band would do so in a concert hall, if someone made a mistake a take just wouldn't be good enough to be released. In just over 10 years Beach Boys and Beatles would go on to record some incredible albums compared to what was before. Crazy that an album like this(with so many studio session musicians) could only be made nowadays by a major label artist, maybe for the better(?) I've got you under my skin had 22 takes(not all of them were of the full song) before Sinatra was satisfied with his performance, what a bad luck for the trombone player. 6/10

Feb 10 2025

The singles of this album were part of my childhood and early teens (TRL/MTV era) got into the album, knowing pretty well that this project had more than questionable lyrics, but that 1-2 punch of Kill You and Stan is so great that it is almost forgivable. If only the second half of the album didn't feel so damn dragging. Ken Kaniff is one skit too much on a 70+ minute album. Kinda wished that this album came after License to Ill instead of Sinatra in between them. 7/10 Whoever told Em to write The Way I Am and Real Slim Shady after delivering the first draft of the album was the MVP of the project https://youtu.be/eOAiwE48g10

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Feb 11 2025

This album is relevant to the list, if I had a complaint is that the harmonica is a tiny bit too loud, maybe mic it better or find some studio musician like the rest of the band, but maybe that's a bit of the charm of Dylan, true perfection can't be perfect. I'd rather listen to an artist cover Dylan, but he's a main player of what came after 1965 so I'll pay him some respect by saying that he was a notch ahead of his peers on the lyrical matters. Maybe put down the harmonica for a while, for the better.

From Elvis In Memphis by Elvis Presley
Feb 12 2025

There are 3 songs that I really enjoyed but I don't remember which ones they were. Pretty much an inoffensive Elvis album. Why wasn't Suspicious Minds in this one?

Bowie is a enigma to me, changing the way he sounded with the different records he made, Ziggy Stardust was the start of his chameleon era where he would make characthers for every album. Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust starts with a strong 1-2-3-4 combo and while the middle falters a bit it ends as strong as it begun. Fuck it, I'm giving it a 4.5/5 rounded up to 5 Stars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5no3g4Xbimc

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Feb 14 2025

The judge isnt out yet for me, need more listens to give it a fair judgement, its a nice chilly album.

OK Computer by Radiohead
Feb 15 2025

Radiohead was in a weird spot in their young trajectory when it came to record OK Computer, they had two choices either go pop with material like Lift that only got live outings in the bends tour before being tossed aside, I think the band took the right choice on doing something that was unique for its time, but gave an entry point for Coldplay What can be said about Ok Computer that hasnt been said? I like how it ends with a slow down idiot and starts with a car crash it gives it an element of replayability that is a stroke of genious. 9/10 I dont like Fitter Happier -------------------------------------------- Tom York lives in a society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTlZsyas-eI

Feb 16 2025

Every track had me second guessing where will the next turnaround will happen? It's a amazing record of great songs, maybe if Laura was willing to play the game it would've been more recognizable, but as it is it's a great surprise to find if you search for your favourite songwriter's favourite songwriter. https://youtu.be/APZN_uL-z0A Todd Rundgren talks about Laura and how she hated making this album and on the flip side how afterwards her process wasn't as concise to make more music.

Feb 17 2025

Follows the lineage of british pop/rock music of the 90's and early 2000's, where Radiohead, Oasis and Coldplay were kings while being distinct from eachother, the twist is that instead of shakers seen in Paranoid Android, they used the cuica and the clarinet. In theory it should be up my alley, but it feels like a second grade replacement, I would like instead the real thing(is FNM in the list?) please. 5/10

Live! by Fela Kuti
Feb 18 2025

Hypnotic, serves well as background music, Fela Kuti jamming with his band and augmented with Ginger Baker. Whats not to love about this? Maybe not if you want pop songs, but thats not what Kuti did. 9/10

Van Halen by Van Halen
Feb 19 2025

Its a fine album, not one that I love, but understand its position as influential in the following decade. 7/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrFxKY6aFrQ

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Feb 20 2025

I felt bored. Nice background music, but most likely won't listen again

You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Feb 21 2025

A bit too noisy, the moments where feedback weren't painstakingly loud were nice, but that was the minority of the time. Another stepping stone in rock history.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Feb 22 2025

Breathtaking, the more I hear about Jeff the more I wish he didn't take that swim on the Mississippi river. His angelic voice is what most people notice, but the guitar playing on this album is top notch, amazing songwriting. To imagine that Jeff didnt liked his voice at first and only wanted to be known as a guitar player... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYmIlkCgIvU

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Feb 23 2025

Before yesterday I didn't knew much about this album besides the three main singles(Setting Sun, Block Rockin Beats and Electrobank), while the third one is better in the full form(it was edited down for single release) I think that this album suffers from the extended runtime gained due to CD being the popular method of album release. Not to say that it was a bad experience, just a tiny bit too long. 8/10 Other than that, what's not to love, I love when the bass was cranked up in the outro of Electrobank https://youtu.be/DS6udW_D5N0

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
Feb 24 2025

https://youtu.be/A6dw3_Sy3NA 3/5 covers that don't hit as hard as their originals, but I suppose it's historical merit makes it a must listen on this list.

Channel Orange by Frank Ocean
Feb 25 2025

So, the interpolation was clever, but when it was glaring (Elton John's Bennie and the Jets and Coldplay's Fix You) it took me out for a bit, but it wasn't like total turn off. Monks is another highlight than the ones in other reviews. https://youtu.be/_591yozrv9o

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 26 2025

I had written a pretty extended review of the album. Kurt playing and control of feedback is top notch(especially on Radio Friendly Unit Shifter). Scentless Apprentice might be the best drum take by Grohl in Nirvana. 8/10 https://youtu.be/riIWXeCYJvw

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 27 2025

You Oughta know and Ironic are kind of incapable in terms of popularity and knowledge it's top of Alanis pop powers and deservedly so. It might be a tiny bit too dated but it is still enjoyable. The hidden track gives out a nice coda to the album. 8.5/10 https://youtube.com/shorts/mwd0Ks59Ty8

Dookie by Green Day
Feb 28 2025

So, this is an album that even after 31 years it still feels fresh, relatable to youth, maybe a bit of updating some lyrics of Longview about TV to make it about Social Media, but it still talks about coming of age and the dissapointment of growing up. I also played along with the album for a change of pace https://imgur.com/a/Biazjou I need to pratice more guitar

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 01 2025

Message in a Bottle starts the album so strong that the rest of the album pales compared to it. The Police know how to do their thing, but by the second side I just want it to be over with. Also the band had to re-record a previously released B-side to fill up the album(the closer No Time This Time was B-side of So Lonely of the previous album). It is more interesting than UB40, has a better single, but other than the opener and closer I dont like much this album. Copeland does have some amazing drumming chops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu5zxlQOfyM

Sincere by Mj Cole
Mar 02 2025

Good singles, tad too long and way too many remixes, could make good studying music or something.

Mar 03 2025

While Fatboy Slim is one of the great players of the Big Beat genere in the UK scene of the 90's/2000s. But, I feel like this album does not feel like an essential release to be on the 1001 list. There are some bangers, but nothing on the level of future albums (You've Come a Long Way, Baby or Halfway Between the Gutter and the Stars). Favorite tracks: Going out of My Head, Everybody Needs a 303, The Sound of Milwaukee. The guitar riffs of Santa Cruz sounds like something U2 would do on their 90s albums 7/10 My least favorite moment the slowed down sample of Punk to Funk without anything to cover the fact that it was slowed down. Like nails to chalkboard.

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 04 2025

Fun vibes, most songs of this album was about a soccer player. It did not have a stand out moment like Girl from Ipanema but it was great nonetheless. 8/10

Debut by Björk
Mar 05 2025

It has hints of future things, but hasn't got really everything together 7/10 Space Ghost(RIP) & Bjork https://youtu.be/tVMPL56mdGg

Shalimar by Rahul Dev Burman
Mar 06 2025

Cool to hear stuff that isn't necessarily from US/UK, it has its moments, but I think it falters like most soundtracks due to not having the source material with it. 6/10

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Mar 07 2025

Sugar Kane, Swimsuit Issue, On the Strip and Chapel Hill(the best for me) are the highlights of the album On Orange Rolls, Angel Spit Kim Gordon sounds like the drummer from the band of Scott Pilgrim https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoS7b0u79mw

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Mar 08 2025

The best Chic album that Chic did not made, or had their name on the sleeve. One thing that made me put it as a 4 star instead of 5 was the running time and Somebody Loves Me, but its a great album nonetheless.

Diamond Life by Sade
Mar 09 2025

I vibed along with it, but Smooth Operator was such a high that wasnt matched by the rest of the material.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Mar 10 2025

Temecula Sunrise feels like im on a bumpy road and I fall into potholes after getting some traction, I dont know how else to explain it, motion sickness set to music perhaps? Why is the Bride using the same cadence on a different key from Temecula Sunrise. ugh, this one is going to be painful, in theory I like this kind of music but somehow its pissing me off. The high note on Stillness Is The Move would move me more if it was done on a better song Two Doves is a nice break on the album Useful Chamber 5:25 Nah fuck this, I was between a 2 star or 1 but this moment gave me a headache

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Mar 11 2025

Stevie knows how to play the harmonica, and in a tastefull way. Superstition, Maybe Your Baby(at least the first half, the second drags a bit), You are the Sunshine of My Life and I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever) are my highlights. Stevie had a great emancipation album, but its not a perfect one

Headquarters by The Monkees
Mar 12 2025

The fact that this was #2 in the charts behind Sgt Pepper blows my mind. A passable pop album, but might not have repeated listens value. Zilch and Band 6 are skits before the term was invented Good album, but not something I'll go back to 6/10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUIn9NwIEMM

Heartbreaker by Ryan Adams
Mar 13 2025

Can I separate the artist from the alegations? Probably not in this case, good album, but most likely is the only time I'll listen willingfully to a Ryan Adams project. Come Pick Me Up and To be the One shouldnt be together, man fade out into fade in with harmonica does not work 6/10

System Of A Down by System Of A Down
Mar 14 2025

I actually don't like much SOAD stuff from this album. But it resonates with a lot of people from my generation so they did good, just not for me. Meme time https://youtu.be/__rjo9XZl-g

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 15 2025

The adlibs make this album way more fun than if it was just a straight forward Cash performance, Johnny wasn't there to patronize the inmates, just perform his songs and it gives a charm it wouldn't have otherwise

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 16 2025

Solid rock album that doesn't try to invent the wheel, at times it's really good(The title track), but there's not enough variation to keep me engaged on it. 5/10

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Mar 17 2025

I was reading the reviews when I was listening to this album hayward-s-cayenne's gave me a chuckle as I was at that moment in the album. Other than that the other remarkable thing was the Woody Guthrie impression in New York Town, nice spoken intros, but other than that its just a man with a guitar 4/10

Back At The Chicken Shack by Jimmy Smith
Mar 18 2025

A damn fine jazz instrumental album. I'll be returning to the chicken shack, or at least to the title track. 8/10

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Mar 19 2025

I had listen to it, but somehow did not write a review, so here it is: it did not stand out, experimental music

21 by Adele
Mar 20 2025

I had written a review where I compared the rise of Adele with the RnB/Soul shaped hole that Amy Winehouse and Duffy had left after their big breaks and how Rolling in The Deep was such a catalyst of everything else to come, this album was a savior for the music industry, however as a whole it leaves a lot to be desired, but if you want heartbreak ballads you are in the right place with Adele. Just wish there was a bit more of diversity in the project. 5/10

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 21 2025

Great songs I knew beforehand (Caroline, No. Wouldn't It Be Nice and God Only Knows), this album was inspired after Brian Wilson heard the US version of Rubber Soul that had a folk/rock sound, but mostly inspired by the use of Sitar in Norwegian Wood and how The Beatles crafted songs with unusual instrumentation. While this album is a great way of displaying that mindset in a full project. The album starts strong, but in the middle it falters, but ends strongly so I'll give it 7/10

Mar 23 2025

Initial impressions after first two tracks, this is very tame and easy listen, is the album title ironic or sarcastic? Was expecting something more biting who are the missing persons so repeated in the title track? lol Its a pretty chill album. Is it DEST ROYR OCK& ROLL or DROR EOCO SYKL TR&L? https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQc676lFJBfqmlQnJKCHXRja36BTxXtyv2a7lY6xq7dBiTRWilCeP-pT0I-mjMCSzHDoLE&usqp=CAU

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Mar 24 2025

I feel like its an album to listen to and relax, but if you asked me to sing out loud I would struggle to sing along with it. Not that it is a bad quality per se.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Mar 25 2025

It's an album by an artists I tought I did not know, but there's a Nelly Furtado collab and lead single's (What's Golden) keyboard was used in my nationwide network of music for some jingles in the 2010's. Like the ending cut says in a sample: "Que viva la musica" but this project might be a tad too long 6/10

Abraxas by Santana
Mar 26 2025

Breathtaking guitar playing and such unique way of blending Latin infused music with rock.

Blur by Blur
Mar 27 2025

It feels like an awkward spot between the Life trilogy of albums (Modern Life, Parklife and The Great Escape) and 13. There are great moments in here(Beetlebum, Song 2 and On Your Own), but I feel like the album suffers from experimental stuff that wasn't their forte. A good first step from Damon Albarn into the path that would lead to Gorillaz, but as a whole the album feels uneven. 6/10

Green by R.E.M.
Mar 28 2025

Middle point between the early years and losing my religion, they started to pick up alternate instruments (mandolin and accordion). There are good songs in here but as a whole it did not grab me like future REM albums.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Mar 29 2025

Listened to the UK version of the album, features some recognizable songs in the title track and Can't Buy Me Love. It doubled as a movie soundtrack. It's an album by The Beatles, the first with tracks only composed by the group, a lovely album, but not peak Beatles for me

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Mar 30 2025

Could be worse, but I feel like this is the British answer to modern lovers. Which I didn't really like. Between one and two stars, would be more enjoyable without the singer

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Mar 31 2025

It sounds fantastic, but I cant stand Joanna's voice at times.

Fragile by Yes
Apr 02 2025

Jojo memes here (and a pretty darn good album)

Pictures At An Exhibition by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Apr 03 2025

Hey let's make an instrumental album with classics done in a slight proggy way.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Apr 04 2025

Country is a genere that doesnt necesarilly pops out to me as interesting. Ooh Las Vegas was the highlight, and the backstory of the widow rearranging the tracklist before it was released and swapping out songs that had Emmylou Harris in them and the original album cover so it was just Parsons alone. 2/5

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Apr 05 2025

Hmmm blues rock with a slight polished sheen

The Slider by T. Rex
Apr 06 2025

I haven't had the pleasure of hearing a T. Rex project as a whole only Bang a Gong(the Oasis rip off connection) and 20th Century Boy Buick MacKane sounds like Black Keys and offers some of the energy that I was looking for in the project. Can we talk about the album cover and how it looks like an inspiration for young Slash to wear a hat? He says otherwise Chariot Choose sounds like RHCP with the yeahs yeahs😆 I do not appreciate the backing vocals would be better if they were more on the background instead of the ear piercing that pops up at random times 6/10

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Apr 07 2025

Feels like a well worn jacket one that reminds you of better days gone by. Nick Drake had a way to combine subtle instrumentals with lyrics that foretold his lack of success in his lifetime, maybe a part of its appeal, you hear an artist crafting songs for himself and maybe close friends, but without thinking about stardom or riches.

Nebraska by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 08 2025

Very bleak listen, no redemption is found to the characters in the album, there's no rainbow at the end of the road, just the everyday life of middle America. Not something I'd listen regularly, but it's a nice change of pace in the boss discography 7/10

Kenza by Khaled
Apr 09 2025

Tracks I've liked at least instrumentally 1,2,5, 11 won me back after a long time of midtempo tracks there are songs where the rip of the audio skips, but thats on the ripper itself not the artist will I listen to this album after this review? most likely not... I would erase the Imagine cover, way too long too. 3/10

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Apr 10 2025

There were moments where it almost lost me but the second half of the album was stronger than the first(other than the second one which was the best of the bunch), feels like a 2010's indie rock album a nice discovery to have. 8/10 Coronado and Don't Cry were my highlights. Album cover is weird

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Apr 11 2025

meh, lost the saved comments, here's the dj comparing brutal with a Elvis Costello song, the CD era gave the liberty to artists to lenghten their albums without caring about quality control https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mnibauANPaQ

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Apr 12 2025

Pretty good, the murder mystery was something unique, could see the inspiration behind sweater song there. But did not have a sensory overload moment like heroin.

La Revancha Del Tango by Gotan Project
Apr 13 2025

On hold music, it was relaxing to listen to, but its not something I would seek out to listen on my own.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Apr 14 2025

Not the first german electronic artist I've heard(Neu! debut a few years ago), it started strong, but as it went on I kept being relaxed and not engaged as much as I'd like The first track was the best one, feel like the album felt empty with so much repetition, but that's how the genere goes, so not a them problem but a me one. 5/10

Apr 15 2025

What was that noise at the end of Mississippi Kid? There are few moments that feel outworldly like the outro to Freebird, fuck it 5/5

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Apr 16 2025

West coast rap made leaps of progress in little time, 420 jokes and still hates the police. 7/10

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 18 2025

Liked it, electronic music meets violins at times it got samey but I liked the vibes through out.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 19 2025

Hail to the thief came after such creative high from the band that it was almost impossible to do better than OKC/Kid A. They almost pulled it off, maybe if they trimmed the track list down. Or maybe that's just part of the charm. There are some high points of the band in here 2+2=5, Myxomatosis, There, There and A Wolf At The Doors can stand up next to the big tracks from their discog. But, why is The Gloaming the track that the band did the most post HTTT tour? Beats me. Since I've already shared the Thom entering without closing doors meme here's another one... https://youtu.be/1th0JYF4LbY Hail to the Thief? It's a 6/10, way too long for me, the band disagrees on what track(s) they shouldn't have put out with the album, so I'm not going to list them.

Yeezus by Kanye West
Apr 20 2025

First half kept me engaged, but after a while it was samey without a change. Hurry up with the goddamned croissants 4/10

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 21 2025

Loveless was the future of rock, but somehow the high standards of it weren't followed by its peers. From the momment you hit play and the four snare drum hits of Only Shallow starts you know you are in good hands. Sometimes is the most ballad-y cut of the album that it gives a breather, the album would suffer from not having a track like that one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jjXxKadVdQ

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 22 2025

By their third studio album release the Pumpkins had already mastered the 4 piece rock sounds as shown on Siamese Dream, Billy Corgan began to write and boy he wrote more songs than necessary for a single CD, and while using the foundations already laid on previous material he grew more confident on the band habilities to record their instruments(previous endeavours were mostly recorded by Billy and the drummer Jimmy Chamberlain), or just by need, the band had to record their parts for this album, Jellybelly is a live cut made by the band performing in the studio. Tonight, Tonight brought back the stripped down acoustic vibes from Disarm, but instead of looking inwards while lamenting of broken childhood issues, was looking head on to the here and now with an full fledged orchestra. This isnt a flawless album, there are some misses like the ending of Dawn to Dusk(the first disk CD), Take Me Down the song written by James Iha. Love, Cupid de Love, 1979 and Beautiful are a bridge to what the band did on the following album(Adore). Dawn to Dusk 4.5/5 The second disc starts rocking with Where Boys Fear To Thread into Bodies Man, what a song 1979 is and why the fuck is Tales Of A Scorched Earth next to it XYU damn Billy you're going to blow your voice with that scream, by the end of Twilight to Starlight the band runs out of rockers and it feels like they shove the ballads together to end the album. Farewell and Goodbye is a nice closer that brings the project together with the callback to the intrumental intro of the title track Twilight to Starlight 3.5/5, so in total its an 8/10, most likely Ill just listen to the first CD, but if I do that then I miss the great start of the second CD and XYU Funny bit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX5zXdDr6Hg

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Apr 23 2025

Amazing debut album by GnR, most people already know the singles by the repetition on MTV/radio, but the genious of Rose was take the normal structure of a rock song and give it a twist (Sweet Child o' Mine, Paradise City, Rocket Queen), Axl's voice can be grating, but when you hear It's so easy you can start to wonder why didnt he used his lower register more than just for a little bit. But the deep cuts arent as memorable(other than rocket queen that's it)

Elastica by Elastica
Apr 24 2025

Damn the vocals on Indian Song, blew me away. Knew Connection and Stutter before hearing the album, but not much else by the band. The american version of the album has an extra track cowritten by Suede frontman Brett Anderson and shuffles Stutter and Vaseline. It's an album from the UK rock scene in the 90's, funny how we have got 3 different projects with Damon Albarn in it, think that that ranking goes, Gorillaz > Elastica > Blur this album is a 7/10

Walking Wounded by Everything But The Girl
Apr 25 2025

Feels like the inspiration that Dido took to make her biggest hits, but I don't think it worked for EBTG. The remixes were cooler than the earlier tracks. Otherwise this album was not my cup of tea 3/10

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Apr 26 2025

One of these days I'm going to watch the movie, amazing album, love me some wah-wah with horns backing it up 5/5

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Apr 27 2025

Good album bookended by the highlights. Monkey Man and Midnight Rambler are close ones tho. 7/10 Why was Honky Tonk Woman not part of this album? Dont like Country Honk as much.

Let It Be by The Replacements
Apr 28 2025

I tought it was going to be the beatles one, the first track is the best of the bunch. 4/10

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
Apr 29 2025

Great harmonies, but the music wasn't as good as when they were with Neil Young, sorry 7/10

Life Thru A Lens by Robbie Williams
Apr 30 2025

So, this is the debut of Robbie Williams, who had been dubbed as the fat dancer of Take That, a boyband group that did not reach me, maybe because I was born just as they were peaking and split just as I was just a toddler, I have heard tracks by them but if you ask me(guy from South America) they weren't memorable. Life Thru a Lens destiles what was popular in the UK over 95 to 97 and sold it in a pretty package. However if you can have the real thing, why get a imitation? Angels follows the balladry roadmap made famous by Oasis and if they weren't so much into the mirror and the razor blade they could have had a big hit like that on that year(Don't Go Away and Stand By Me are the ballads of their 1997 album Be Here Now, which are killed for public consumption by too many guitar overdubs and over length). Let Me Entertain You is a nice change of pace later in the album, but this project is not one that I will listen to very much after writing this review. Maybe my review is too harsh, but I went into it knowing the best tracks and the others were just ok. https://youtube.com/shorts/NkElJrwC3_k a lighthearted moment non monkey man related 5/10

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
May 01 2025

So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star feels like a shot at The Monkeys and their rise to fame, C.T.A.-102 a pleaseant song about aliens that halfway trough is taken hostage by an alien talking trough. There's some experimentation in this album, but it wasn't good enough for me, sorry 2 byrds out of 5

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
May 02 2025

Is Elvis's back from the army? Maybe, but my god the session players were on fire for this one, it did not felt like it was too much like the previous one we heard which was further along on his discography. I wonder if that drum ending has been used as a sample for another song

Frank by Amy Winehouse
May 03 2025

A pretty weak debut, tbh I don't think it belongs on the 1001 list and wouldn't be if it wasn't due to her next album, which rightfully is in. It shows promise, but it is way too long, and gets kinda monotony after a while. 3 hidden tracks when you want to finish don't help to get over that sensation that it should have offered less.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
May 04 2025

KOL's Aha Shake Heartbreak is a solid album, but Calleb sounds horny as fuck, think this album was on the original list as an answer to the Nu-metal being on the mainstream, but this album shows potential of things to come. Southern Strokes indeed. The Bucket and Slow Night, So Long were my highlights

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears by The Mamas & The Papas
May 05 2025

California dreaming lifts a lot of the weight on this album, why is there a WC in the album cover? The Mamas and the Papas do know how to harmonize. Do not read about their personal relationships 😳 https://youtu.be/tNlwimUxUME they were forced to mime, so here's Michelle eating a banana in the middle of their performance. 3/5

Disraeli Gears by Cream
May 06 2025

Only knew sunshine of your love before hearing this project, enjoyable psychedelic blues rock. Contains one of the earliest wah-wah pedals in Tales of Brave Ulysses. Jack Bruce is the MVP of this album 4/5

Sound Affects by The Jam
May 07 2025

I knew by name the band, but hadn't reached out to hear a full project, the album starts with a pretty cool bassline in Pretty Green and off we go, it is better than some of other UK albums that we have heard, there's a track that almost follows the chord progression of Beatles' Taxman(Start) and another that wouldn't sound out of place in a Bloc Party album (Set The House Ablaze). Maybe Music for the Last Couple could've lost a minute or so of the runtime, there are good songs I would like to go back to(the aforementioned and Thats Entretainment), but only time will tell if we hear more of Mr Weller/The Jam.

Stephen Stills by Stephen Stills
May 08 2025

It starts strong with "Love the One You're With, but its not a very good album experience. Some of the last Hendrix recordings are in the album (Old Times Good Times) and afterwards we have Clapton (Go Back Home), but other than that it didnt convince me. 5/10

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
May 09 2025

Some of the finest Hendrix work in this album, however it doesn't keep the quality in some tracks. Bold as Love''s outro you are leaving/entering a new planet and EXP is the aftermath of the success by the earthlings?

May 10 2025

There were movements that grabs my attention but as a whole it isn't interesting enough to give it a full listen. Influential, but not for me.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 11 2025

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo. But seriously, this is alt country with mascara. Wish it had more variety at times, suppose it didnt grab much attention in the states in the wake of Grunge, but if R.E.M. thinks it was great when they were in their acoustic years, it must be. Bowie hints here and there.

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
May 12 2025

It feels like Im playing a SNES game with 6 different levels.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
May 13 2025

I like my metal well mixed, this ain't it. Jason deserved better, the songs are allright, however due to it not having bass at all it can be a tiring experience. Highlights: The first 2 minutes of One, the acoustic bits of To Live Is to Die. Had potential to be rated higher, but listening with a headache isnt good.

In The Wee Small Hours by Frank Sinatra
May 14 2025

Heartbreaks and orchestras. Frank was a wee sad boye for this one. But you won't mistake this project for someone else. Funny that it was basically a double album mixtape of cover versions and one original lyrics by Sinatra himself. Yank it loud.

Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
May 15 2025

Hmmm at times the bass lines were interesting. But as songs or the project as a whole? Don't think so. I can't believe it's not butter https://youtu.be/7mSE-Iy_tFY

Tellin’ Stories by The Charlatans
May 16 2025

On the back of an opening slot of the biggest UK gigs of the 90s(Oasis at Knebworth) and after loosing their keyboard player The charlatans released their most successful commercially speaking album. Is it good? I don't think so. The two instrumentals were the highlight of the album, can't stand Tim's voice, sorry.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 17 2025

What else can be said about Bowie that hasn't been said before? It's a good album, maybe too short on tracks, but it is an important moment of Bowie's discog, this would mark the end of debauchery and go away to Berlin to get detox and go away from the edgy persona of the thin white Duke. I'd add the title track TVC 15 and Golden Years to my playlist if I did something like that.

Calenture by The Triffids
May 18 2025

What is that sound on the right speaker in 1:20 of Open for You? The rest of the album, just fine, dont see the reason of it being on a 1001 list to hear before you die. It feels like its drenched in reverb for no reason. Listened twice but was not impressed by the band, not feeling feverish as the title implies. 4/10

Beauty And The Beat by The Go-Go's
May 19 2025

Joyful new wave album by all girls band The Go-Go's suppose it was influential to the rest of the acts of the decade and Green Day a decade later. Loved it.

Play by Moby
May 20 2025

So, Moby found a way to play the system by licensing tracks to movies, ads and tv shows, an approach that made the general audience more aware of who he was. I have heard the singles, some of them are good, the ones with repetitive vocal samples that arent masked by additional instrumentation are annoying. So for me this is a 9 new track experience, lets see if it pays off... No it doesn't, just like the Natalie Portman did not work out for Moby I'd keep Bodyrock and South Side(if it's the one with Gwen Stefani). 3/10

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
May 21 2025

Sex funk with a twist of acoustic guitar near the end. I can see where Jeff got it from, but he was way better than his dad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfi-xoD_-d4 maybe Tim should've toned down the sexiness of his lyrics.

Tragic Songs of Life by The Louvin Brothers
May 22 2025

So in a parallel universe the opener would be on Spongebob Square Pants as a theme song of a character that misses home. https://youtu.be/FtlFECUUuU8 4/10

Beautiful Freak by Eels

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
May 24 2025

The sax fill in Hide in Your Shell kinda sounds like who can it be now by Men at Work Hearing the piano breaks always brings a smile to my face, wish we could get Breakfast in America soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jspCAfZeDqc

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 25 2025

Listening to Hybrid Theory for the first time in ages, probably since Chester passed away, it makes the album experience so sad for me. The album holds on until In the End, but falls flat after it. I dont like metal or numetal as much to have it on rotation, but I understand that LP music helped a lot of youth of the 2000's Did I like it? not as much as everyone else, but I can't help but feel empathy for Chester after reading about his teenage years. At least they didnt feel the need to bloat the disc with more music than necessary 3/5

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
May 26 2025

It starts solid, but I dont get why this album needs to have 22 tracks in it. By the end I was so out of it, would be a great 10 track album, but it just didnt knew when or where to stop. You could listen to two great Pixies albums in the time you get to listen to this bloated album, that have some nice moments in it. The lyric about Pachinko is cheesy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG3WepgGiSk

May 27 2025

I had seen the music video of Dancefloor in MTV shortly after it was released but I wasnt into rock music back when I was in highschool and while I didnt tought much of it I liked how Matt sang and played the drums. Don't Believe the 'ype indeed. This album is like a freight train, hits you and knocks you over, over and over again. I dont like Riot Van but it is a necessary breath by changing the pace of the album, A Certain Romance is the epic ending to a pretty great debut album 9/10 My favorite tracks View from the Afternoon, Dancing Shoes, Perhaps Vampires Is a Bit Strong But..., When The Sun Goes Down and A Certain Romance

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
May 28 2025

Rap had to start somewhere, while this might sound basic and full of evergreen spaces that would be filled in the future Run DMC were pioneers of the genere, does that mean that I like it or that its going to be on my top of the 1001 experience list? Not necessarily. Wake Up is my favorite of the album, just because it went out of the way to do something different than most of the other tracks. 2/5

Lazer Guided Melodies by Spiritualized
May 29 2025

Symphony Space goes really well with the breeders opener from their album Pod. It is so damn calm that when it up the tempo it feels so refreshing, but that is not the norm. So I feel bored, why is this album an hour long Lets count up the numbers for the final track I'd say 2/5 for If I were with here now, but the rest of the material did not stick with me. Album art looks like some semen aliens floating in space or something.

The Age Of The Understatement by The Last Shadow Puppets
May 30 2025

So while I have heard all the Arctic Monkeys albums I havent heard anything by The Last Shadow Puppets besides the singles(title track and Aviation fromt their second album). The first song gives me a Knights of Cydonia vibes, Only The Truth gives hints of future Monkeys track Dangerous Animals, but with an orchestra flavor, instead of the desert rock of Humbug. This is a transitional album in the Alex Turner discog and while I like the sounds, I dont believe it influenced much, I dont think it should be on a "1001 albums you must hear before you die" list I'd rather hear something that was an influence on this album Favorite tracks: Title Track, My Mistakes Were Made For You https://www.youtube.com/shorts/lY_1Ertxl4o

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 31 2025

Well, at least the ratio of Harmonica in the songs was lower than Highway 61 revisited and the backing band had more variety on the song arrangements. An improvement, but not by much.

Beach Samba by Astrud Gilberto
Jun 01 2025

So far this album is so quick that you blink and tracks go by without you even noticing. The stereo with drums on one side sucks, there are some creative choices I cant get behind like Parade, Oba Oba and you didn't have to be so nice, but it is such a short album that I can just ignore them and it will be gone. 3/5

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jun 02 2025

The story about the album is more interesting than the content itself. An album that is written in response of a Rolling Stones album that dares to be sexual and bold? I wish it had more variety 3/5 https://youtube.com/shorts/ZJITQY2EHNU

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jun 03 2025

A good instrumental album, but I forgot what the vibe was like after it ended.

Black Metal by Venom
Jun 06 2025

I didn't like this. Bad production killed any interesting potential I could see in this. But it was influential, so deserved spot on the list.

Happy Sad by Tim Buckley
Jun 08 2025

Those 10+ minute songs did not earn the runtime

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Jun 09 2025

Eh, I expected more uptempo tracks like I got a woman or What I'd Say. Not that it wasnt pleasant, but I wanted something else and it wasn't this. https://youtube.com/shorts/GoqRYgAzjyE

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 12 2025

So this is my second album of the day(The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu, dogshit). Peter Gabriel can write bangers about his penis 5/5 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fFHPUk4TS3Y

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

It starts with subertion of what the Beach Boys are in the public mind(boys enjoying the beach, d'oh) and it gives you an enviromental curveball. I kinda enjoyed the album. RIP Brian 4/5

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jun 14 2025

4/5 "Fuck the monarchy" The album. It starts strong and I knew most of Side B. But it did falter on later cuts in the A side. Maybe the peak of Moz/Marr together. Fade out/In into Some Girls was kinda annoying. https://youtu.be/NxRqpCZ5AGc

Guitar Town by Steve Earle
Jun 15 2025

This did not impress me much. 2/5

The Modern Dance by Pere Ubu
Jun 16 2025

So an intriguing listen for me, the band is solid, but the vocals pulls me out of it. The album starts with an annoying drone on the right channel, minus 1 star The vocals are annoying -2 stars the band is solid, but lots of nonsense is present in the album Ah we have a revolution 9 pastiche in here(Sentimental Journey, the longest song), just what this album needed to be a 1. 3:50 in Sentimental Journey: "I've got a song," No you dont, wanker

Doolittle by Pixies
Jun 17 2025

I had heard 6 songs beforehand(Debaser, Wave of Mutilation, Hey, Here Comes Your Man, Gouge Away, Monkey Gone To Heaven) the rest is up to that level, this is a band firing all cylinders. I can play all of the previously named tracks on guitar, but the riff of Hey is a tricky one. https://youtu.be/A7VhNjZXALU Bowie talks Pixies

The Idiot by Iggy Pop
Jun 18 2025

Iggy brings the best into this Bowie ladden project. Works better than what I would've expected. I thought my headphones died on the intro to Mass Production https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdQASuZN8BA

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
Jun 19 2025

I wonder what was the critera that was chosen to pick albums for this list, because this album isnt popular enough to have a Wikipedia article of its own, the artist isnt popular enough(less than 10000 listeners in Spotify). So I'll give out the nod to Can vocalist Malcolm Mooney for appearing on Ravenspoint. 2/5 https://cdn.vectorstock.com/i/1000x1000/63/50/can-of-worms-idiom-vector-3966350.webp

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 20 2025

Goes down like a breeze, great album that deals with what they were at the moment(top rock band with Have a Cigar and Welcome to The Machine) and who they used to be with Syd Barrett (Shine on You Crazy Diamond and Wish You Were Here)

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Jun 21 2025

Right up to Criminal the album is near perfection after that it just loses pacing. Not that this is a bad album, but maybe just a tad front loaded. https://youtube.com/shorts/Hq-s6YU5ZDc

Jun 24 2025

Iconic. It did not felt like it was an hour long endeavor like most albums that were released on the CD era where they filled the album because they had the space to do so, to the detrimental of the quality of the project. Praise you still sounds as vital as it was when I first heard it back in the day. https://youtube.com/shorts/RpmFhr0dlSA https://youtube.com/shorts/LVx0u22Dnbs https://youtube.com/shorts/OOUficQth0k https://youtu.be/MaaQyVRndMA I should probably stop here 😂

Club Classics Vol. One by Soul II Soul
Jun 25 2025

I liked the songs sung by the women, the man rapping/singing wasnt my thing. Its a british thing, innit?

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Jun 26 2025

This is my first GBV album and while I like tracks from it they are way too short to make a lasting impact. Why wouldn't you pick like the 10 best ideas and develop them further, or if you want to make medleys just do that, but not put tracks on a row without purpose. This project needed a producer that helps the songwriter make the best possible version of every track

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Laaaast nite she's said... Eh this album is middle of the road. American Girl is the best song by a mile. 3/5

Jun 28 2025

Black Holes and Revelations... Muse as a band had a rough start in America, after touring their first album (Showbiz) as the opener for RHCP/Foo Fighters, they decided that their creative freedom was more valuable to them and decided to not release their second album (Origin of Symmetry) in america with their original american music label (Madonna's Maverick Records) like the rest of the world in 2001. That made them tour for their follow up in colleges and small theatres for Absolution, which made them have a small but loyal fanbase in the US. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/fSURP7E6I7U The inclusion of Supermassive Black Hole in the twilight movie worked wonders for the popularity of the band. What do I feel about it 20 years after it was released? It still holds on, but it is not my favorite muse album 4/5 Knights of Cydonia as a epic still holds on, but it was fonzie jumps the shark moment for Muse, everything afterwards felt less epic than this. Not necessarily their fault, but its how I feel about the band, future albums could have great songs, but concepts or self impossed rules made them less good than they probably could have done. Favorites: Knights, Take a Bow, City of Delusion

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jun 29 2025

Bee Gees do know how to write ballads, just wish there was some variety in the type of songs. 12 ballads in a row does get samey after a while. 3/10

Shadowland by k.d. lang
Jun 30 2025

Good voice, but beats me how would make the 1001 list.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jul 01 2025

This one blew me away, I think it's the first unknown to me since Laura Nyro that I love and it's going to be on top of my experiences from this list. My highlights: Down to Zero, Water With the Wine, Like Fire and the closer Tall in the Saddle

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Jul 02 2025

So.. The Verve, they had a bit of a rough start as a shoegaze/psychodelic rock act, they did a few standalone singles(Gravity Grave is a highlight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtCem7r4i2I) before their debut album A Storm In Heaven (Slide Away https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEqHAc1Y0NY)), since we have A Northern Soul in the list I wont talk about it too much, but after touring that album the band reached a break point and they enter hiatus. The singer/songwriter Richard Ashcroft starts to write songs for his next project and starts to recruit former bandmates, bar Nick McCabe guitar player, and instead call Simon Tong, they go to the studio and record an album, without a band name or a direction, just Urban Hyms as potential band name. After a while Richard realizes that the band lacks the magic touch of McCabe and gives him a call and the band gets the definitive 5 man lineup. The band was already on the brink of their goal of dominating the charts, but the rolling stone sample thing happen and they decide to go on anyways. And boy they delivered with this album, it might be too long for some people(not helped by the 7 minutes of silence between Come on and the hidden track Deep Freeze). So this album for me is a melting pot of everything The Verve did as shoegaze(Deep Freeze and Neon Wilderness), the rockers displayed on A Northern Soul(Come On and The Rolling People) and the singer songwriter stuff that Richard was brewing and would later do less sucessfully in his solo albums(Bittersweet Symphony, Sonnet, Drugs Don't Work, Lucky Man) or a combination of those previous categories (Catching The Butterfly, One Day, This Time). What a album, would love to hear it once again for the first time, the band would implode again after touring it for a year, here's the band playing at Pinkpop 1998 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb1jaj06UW4 5/5

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jul 03 2025

Smooth jazz, something to put in your coffee shop while clients are munching on some donuts

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jul 05 2025

Some of the greatest singles. And pretty unremarkable ones. The deep cuts are forgotten for a reason. I'll put a 4/5 and leave it at that. https://youtu.be/ZGPSN6UdERw

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jul 06 2025

At least with his debut there was some quality control. It makes a better listen, but I'm not a big Costello fan so far.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Jul 07 2025

I guess even novelty comedy acts have space to be in the list. Does that means that I have to like it? No. 0.01/10

Jul 08 2025

A question in your nerves is lit Yet you know there is no answer fit To satisfy, insure you not to quit To keep it in your mind and not forget That it is not he or she or them or it That you belong to

Mothership Connection by Parliament

My first Parliament album, hypnotic and groovy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccvB00h6EnI

Boston by Boston
Jul 10 2025

I wasnt sure of how I was going to rate this, but the final in Let Me Take You Home Tonight left me with a grin on my face. 5/5 https://youtu.be/da7IyPKUOwg?si=NEM1QaBMkyrbcnmu&t=76 (you can watch the whole thing, but the first minute is about Aerosmith)

Horses by Patti Smith
Jul 11 2025

Some iconic tracks and some that left me cold. Might change my opinion, but the opening track set a high bar that wasnt met by the following tracks

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 12 2025

Would like to hear more jazz in bars over here. It's all reggaeton in here. https://youtu.be/Z5uMRhMMdGg

Jul 13 2025

The electric jug sounds like a Turkey that's near the band performing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7t6E3-ogPcU There are elements that I could like, but the jug makes it so distracting that I can focus on whatever positives I could find

OK by Talvin Singh
Jul 14 2025

And now the true story of ecstasy It is told that the one, the almighty Shiraji Climbed to the top of Mount Kailash With his radiant wife, Parvathi And there they spent ten thousand years in union We call this first position Nasty

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Jul 15 2025

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzldaxAtloo Bookend tracks are alright, the middle? shit sandwich 2/5

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 16 2025

Imagine criticising Paul for writing bland tracks while doing Oh Yoko... John Lennon was a flawed individual that liked to lash it out, but couldn't stand when there was some pushback. How Do You Sleep? still bangs tho and I Don't Wanna Be a Soldier Mama follows the path set by former Beatles track I want You (She's So Heavy). 3/5

Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 17 2025

At least Neil was clever enough to not let the Harmonica wail on every single track.

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Jul 18 2025

I need some rum. This could be on the soundtrack of a pirates of the caribbean movie, or some episode of backyardigans. Not something I'd go out to seek and play on my own time 2/5

Live At Leeds by The Who
Jul 19 2025

As the first Who full album project I hear in this list, I ask: why? Lots of artists that did not get a spot in the list and instead we get this truncated live experience, and 4 other Who studio albums? It's a no for me.

Jul 20 2025

9/10 Look, I'm not objective, this album shaped for better or worse my preteen years and trying to be objective is near impossible with this album for me. Here's an review I wrote nearly 10 years ago for r/music The album starts with a familiar acoustic guitar intro with birds before the band announces Hello, a track with a glam rock flavor in its chorus, Roll With It is a nice way to finish up this 1-2 punch before the ballad of the album get's the highlight of the hour, so many things have been said of this track but it's sparse instrumentation is key when you think about of why does it work. The drums in this album were certainly well done by Alan White that gave tracks as the previously named Wonderwall, She's Electric and Cast No Shadow a life their previous more rock based drummer wouldn't have dreamed. The title track is a great rocker with a REM twist, after which there's the second instrumental that bridges the last two songs of the album. When the final chorus of Champagne Supernova is reached we get a band who is living the dream of being the most important band of the world, even if it's just for 50 minutes. Anyways heres... https://youtu.be/AULm797Dh3g?t=68&si=4W3GyzC1yL1BxpAW

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jul 21 2025

So, first disc was so good, but then the quality went down as it got to sides 3/4, but theres Comfortably Numb, Run Like Hell and the reprise of In The Flesh https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JzwU0JN-qlY

Purple Rain by Prince
Jul 22 2025

Holy fuck Prince delivers a masterpiece that transcends the dated sounds of the 80s 5/5 https://youtu.be/8y18YVKnKPk?si=YuuitDI4bEuWp3za&t=254

E.V.O.L. by Sonic Youth
Jul 23 2025

I really didnt vibe with this one

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

So, I hadn't heard of this album in full. Only NIB one time ages ago, this slaps, but also has space for growth. 4/5 RIP Ozzy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkcRxCUZWB0

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jul 25 2025

Taylor jumps into pop music and drops the country. I do not like Shake it off, "getting down to this sick beat" While playing the least interesting part of the song grates the song overall. Maybe the starter of releasing not the strongest song as first single of TS projects Bad blood OG without Kendrick is good. But the remix was better. It takes guts to jump music generes when you are the best at your own, I give kuddos for that, but this album is way overhyped IMO 3/5

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jul 26 2025

Can someone coach Michael Stipe so he doeesn't murmurs the lyrics? my god at times it was [incomprehensible mumbles] https://www.youtube.com/shorts/D9-491BbkMY

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jul 28 2025

If there werent any Davis albums on the list I would agree on the placement in the list, but we just had Kind of Blue which is better. 2/5

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Jul 29 2025

It all shares the same vibes divided in subsections given the different sides of the vinyl, Shine a light is the highlight of the project, will need more listens to fully grasp the rest of the material.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Jul 31 2025

I like that it did not follow the norms of what was popular back in the late 80s, but I dont see why it should be an album that someone must hear before they die. Fast Car? Yes indeed, but the whole project nah.

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Aug 01 2025

Unless the last track is good I think this is a 2/5 deserved the spot on the list given the 1-2 punch of Tiny Dancer and Levon, but the rest does not reach that standard, I also felt like it needed a Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting to give a bit of more life. I liked the ending on All The Nasties so bumping it up to a 3/5 https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0a9QlmXzJUA

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Aug 02 2025

Jim Morrison says goodbye with one of his best songs. The rest of the album was meh 3/5

One World by John Martyn
Aug 03 2025

When the vocals started in the first track I tought it was going to be a rough listen, but after a while it went into the background and I started to vibe with the backing track. 3/5

Young Americans by David Bowie
Aug 05 2025

Great bookend tracks, with a hideous cover of Across The Universe in the heart of the album. A pivot of music generes was due for Bowie, but it is not a great album in full. 3/5

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Aug 06 2025

Will I hear it again? Probably not. Nice spanish sung cover to finish the project

Dog Man Star by Suede
Aug 07 2025

Some people rate this as Suede best album, for me it's too over dramatic. But I'll keep New Generation and We are The Pigs as highlights of the band.

Is This It by The Strokes
Aug 09 2025

(Heard the version with NYC cops in it, cause thats the artwork seen on the website), This album still slaps, was a fresh breath of air when i heard it and is still is. Maybe for those who were older like Bowie did not like it, but whatever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3ak4Ms8XQ0 (If you want to know whats the sound that kickstarts the album)

New York Dolls by New York Dolls
Aug 10 2025

I enjoyed it, but not so much the vocals. LUV

White Light / White Heat by The Velvet Underground
Aug 11 2025

That was kinda underwhelming, suppose its a middle ground between the first and third albums, but dont have the strenght of either.

Stankonia by OutKast
Aug 12 2025

Could've been perfect but Cee-Lo made it a 4 star my favorite apple pie recipe https://littlespoonfarm.com/apple-pie-recipe/

White Ladder by David Gray
Aug 13 2025

makes Coldplay sound like heavy metal. as interesting as watching paint dry or doing laundry by hand without electricity. Why is this on the list?

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Aug 14 2025

Queen Latifah best musical moment is in taxi driver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbeuacV1GKw Impressive that Queen Latifah was 19 for this project, but with age it has gotten worse than what would've been back in the day

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 15 2025

Anyone who picked up a guitar after 1967 was influenced by Jimi or someone who was influenced by the dude. 5 Stars Im not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

Fulfillingness' First Finale by Stevie Wonder
Aug 16 2025

It doesnt have a recognizable Stevie hit, but still is great from top to bottom. maybe if it had a recognizable song it would elevate it to a 5/5

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Aug 17 2025

It's weird cause I love this album, yet I dont think it should be on the list, before other White Stripes albums. One of the interesting things Jack did for this album and tour is having a full male(the Buzzards) and another full female(the Peacocks) backing bands, in tour one band did a set then the other took over and continued the gig. After touring the album Jack ended the experiment and chose to work with just one backing band, picking players from both bands. What do I think about the album? It is pleasant, but not groundbreaking, there are great moments in here like Missing Pieces, Love Interruption and the final minute of Take Me With You When You Go. A divorce album, the lyrics. Oh and hearing Jack beatbox on I'm shaking is funny 3/5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjbzLC_idLU Jools Holland interview while promoting this album

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Aug 19 2025

Tbh this album is poetry set to 4 chord acoustic guitar. It does what it sets to do, and doesn't deviate from that, imagine Bob Dylan without harmonica and a better sounding voice.

Arular by M.I.A.
Aug 21 2025

It does deserve the spot on the list, but it isnt something I'd hear all the time. 3/5 I wish Paper Planes was on this album, but that one is on the next one, that is also in the list

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Aug 23 2025

Smooth, first time I heard about this band, look foward to dig deeper on their discog

Aug 26 2025

Death On Two Legs starts the album strong and it ends quite bombastic with the Bohemian Rhapsody/God Save The Queen combo ending. But why did they put I'm In Love With My Car in here and furthermore was selected as the B-side of the Bohemian Rhapsody single? Fuck knows, Queen albums always have one or two tracks that make it lose the 5 star potential. Their best albums are their first 2 Greatest Hits compilations.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Aug 29 2025

The ending was kinda ok, but the first 6 tracks blew me away.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Aug 30 2025

The White Stripes start to feel the pressures of fame, and the ambiguity of their relartionship as brother/sister or husband/wife hence the album cover. They knock it out of the park with this project, even with 16 tracks it feels like a breeze of fresh air, even after almost 25 years. "attention is both good and bad" Jack White on Little Room

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Aug 31 2025

The album picked up steam from Soy loco por ti America until the end. Curious project

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
Sep 01 2025

Karma Chameleon song that everyone knows, even if they dont know the title of the song/artist. The rest of the album was just ok, suppose you had to be there to appreciate it.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Sep 02 2025

The No Woman, No Cry version in this album is alright but it's not the one you recognize the song for. The rest of the album is just fine, but not my thing.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Sep 05 2025

Peak rock n roll. Enough said

C'est Chic by CHIC
Sep 06 2025

Sheesh Chic, c'est chic. I suppose it is a bold move to put an instrumental after the big single of the album. And the album never recovered from that. Le freak is a banger, but the rest isn't up to par.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Sep 07 2025

Funny how the album is titled Dry and finishes with a track called water. The album sounds like something that could only come out after Nirvana had released Nevermind.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
Sep 09 2025

Roadhouse Blues is great, the rest? less so.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Sep 10 2025

Salsa, give me some chips to down this magestic dish. Pedro Navaja is a masterpiece of well crafted parts, about Gang crimes in NYC

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Sep 11 2025

Let Herbie Cook

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Sep 13 2025

This album starts so strong with Zero and Heads Will Roll that anything that came afterwards paled in comparison. However I do like that they went into another direction. Dull Fortune is another highlight of the album. *Shatters egg*

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Sep 15 2025

The album cover conveys the music just right. Feels like somehow it melts together and it loses focus at times.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Sep 16 2025

Relax listen but not something I would seek out for.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Sep 18 2025

Janet wants to talk about the issues in the world, but there's a tipping point where it overwhelms her and she just want to dance it out.

25 by Adele
Sep 20 2025

I feel like Adele has some of the best voice in the pop world, yet her music doesn't displays it as much as it should. Songs about being older than before and heartbreaks just dont cut it after a while. 2/5 just more variety would do good. When We Were Young would slap if it was done by a late carrer singer, Adele was just in the middle of her most dominant era lmao https://www.reddit.com/r/TIHI/comments/1gy98ma/thanks_i_hate_upside_down_adele/

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Sep 21 2025

A bit of restrain on the falsetto heroics would do some good. I feel like The Darkness are in a damned if you do damned if you dont position, they were a breath of fresh air for those jaded by Nu-metal that weren't into the garage rock revival of the early milenium. I can only take them on small dosages. 2/5 I believe in a thing called love is a masterpiece, but the rest? meh

Don't Stand Me Down by Dexys Midnight Runners
Sep 22 2025

There are pieces that could have been a hit in the album, but any cohesion was out of their minds when they were doing the album recording. Music from other countries should be more represented than a repeated artist that failed to seize the zeigest.

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Sep 24 2025

Feels like a defiance to the dictatorship while also grieving for the passing of his mum.

Sep 25 2025

It was more fun than the usual UK rock band. I was suprised that this wasnt the album with Valerie in it.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Sep 26 2025

Not something I'd seek to listen on my own time, would rather have Yoshimi

Sep 27 2025

It feels like Im unearthing the road map of some of the best 90's UK rock acts. And Green Day on Picture Book for some reason. It was great, but not mindblowingly great.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Sep 29 2025

When I signed up for the project these kinds of albums were the ones I was looking foward to, those that transcends the usual bounderies and that otherwise would be overlooked. I dont understand the language, but the vibes are magestic.

D by White Denim
Oct 01 2025

So I knew a track from Rocksmith (Burnished, track #2 is in the first one), but this band was one of the acts that slipped through and what an album it is, it gives you twists and turns everywhere you look at, some tracks outros become full fledged instrumentals freak outs and while it doesn't have a memorable single song it's variety in sound palette makes up for it.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Oct 04 2025

I love this, however I dont love it as much as I predicted I would (thanks to I Believe), I was pleasantly surprised when the final few seconds of broken became the intro to Head over Heels.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Oct 05 2025

Its great, but sometimes creative choices in the tracklisting makes you go... huh... FX, Laguna Sunrise.

Low by David Bowie
Oct 14 2025

A relaxing album, maybe not what I seek from Bowie but a interesting change of pace.

Oct 15 2025

Well, the first few tracks were interesting. Then it nosedived my interest as the songwriter stuff appeared. 2/5 Gustavo Cerati sampled John Barleycorn (Must Die) in the titletrack of his last studio album Fuerza Natural https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ACG_gupkDw

Guero by Beck
Oct 16 2025

I thought the vibes would be more eclectic than it finnaly was, hoped more of that 8 bit keyboards in the intro of Girl sprinkled in more places. E-Pro is a banger and a Rockband classic. The riff of Send a Message to Her(which is a bonus track, didnt realized when I first heard the album) sounds like the one of Devils Haircut in a different key. I mean, its a good album, but its not something that I would say is worthy of a 1001 must listen album before you die list (Odelay and Sea Change would be my only picks) 2/5

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Oct 17 2025

Punch And Judy was my favorite, at times the songs blend into eachother, which in this case is not a bad thing. I guess this is the start of bedroom indie, or the seeds of what would become that genere.

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Oct 20 2025

I like it, but the S.O.36 kills momentum in the listening experience.

Mask by Bauhaus
Oct 22 2025

So, here we got the start of Emo with a twist of David Bowie, cant stand the singer, but the music is great. 4/5

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Oct 25 2025

I enjoyed it more than the previous Run DMC album. That 4 song run to kickstart the project is legendary -1 star due to dumb girl

With The Beatles by Beatles
Oct 27 2025

I mean, its early Beatles, so little to none experimentation that they would be recognized later for. It's good, but not so much that I would say its essential. 2/5

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Oct 28 2025

In this album Billy Corgan pours his troubles, whether they are childhood related ones, depression from wanting to be more popular. The album starts angry and ends up in a happy place, but I feel like after Silverfuck the album loses steam. 4/5 Big Muff intensifies

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Nov 01 2025

It does have the best opener in Bowie's discog, but it is not as strong as a whole as Ziggy Stardust

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
Nov 02 2025

Its in the middle point where Glam Rock and Grunge would intersect. An interesting listen, but probably was a lightning in a bottle situation, if it was released earlier it wouldn't be accepted and later it would've been way out of place with the alternative/grunge sceene.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Nov 03 2025

So, the first MJ project that felt independient from the Jackson 5/Motown sphere, it is a good one, but the 1-2 combo of Dont Stop Til I Get Enough and Rock With You is worth the admision ticket. I'm more of a Bad MJ guy, but you cant go wrong with off the wall

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Nov 04 2025

Barbarism is a banger in a album that lacks other great Smiths songs. I'd do with The Queen Is Dead instead. Thanks.

Nov 05 2025

The easy thing to do was do the hits and maybe a cover, Kurt and Co did not do that and showed something that could've been the way onwards if it didn't end like it did with Kurt's demise. I watched the DVD instead of the album, the sweet home alabama bit is hilarious.

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Nov 06 2025

I do not see myself going back to this album, it might have inspired Tommy, but I dont feel like this is a cohesive experience as The Who's album. Panning shit from left to right does not make a very interesting listen.

In It For The Money by Supergrass
Nov 07 2025

Album cover makes you think it's going to be some winter/bluegrass kind of deal. Supergrass is in this album making their best impression of what the beatles could do in the 90's, love the title track, it slowly builds from the keyboard intro with the guitar arpeggio and when the brass kick in you are golden Also how the first track transitions into Richard 3rd(killer theremin solo). Sun Hits the Sky with the bass and drums outro, there are a lot of interesting choices in the album, but I feel like it misses an Alright kind of track that could've sold this album to America, but whatever. Wish the last track didn't had that annoying drum machine that overpowered everything else. 4/5

Ten by Pearl Jam
Nov 08 2025

I prefer Vs. Ten is a great album that holds up on the strenght of it's magnificent singles, but man it drags at times. 4/5 Why wasn't yellow ledbetter in the album?

Penthouse And Pavement by Heaven 17
Nov 09 2025

After the first song I thought it was going to be good, it is not. I guess I need to listen to Heaven 1-16 to get the context of it all. I did know of Facist Groove Thang due to the LCD Soundsystem cover they did some years ago. Lets All Make a Bomb also was good, but the rest of the album did not interest me.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Nov 10 2025

A forest might be one of my favorite tracks, but the rest of the album was kinda underwhelming. 2/5

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Nov 11 2025

The pinch harmonic in La Grange does things that modern metal does not do. I dont know why it is such an iconic moment in the song and when I hear it in other songs it feels out of place. The rest of the album is great 4/5

Goodbye And Hello by Tim Buckley
Nov 12 2025

Goodbye Tim, thanks for having Jeff, but your music didn't resonate with me.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Nov 14 2025

Probably would have rated higher if Perry hadn't done the number on stage with Navarro and Avery. Jane Says it's great, but man, it's a bummer it ended like it did.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Nov 15 2025

CD's era with 70+ minutes albums when probably a 50 minutes album would be better. Soundgarden is a special band, but sometimes less is more. No one sings like Chris anymore

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Nov 18 2025

There are two, maybe three thoughts in my head. I have heard This is Happening in full, Daft Punk Is Playing in My House(Fifa 06 throwback) and Time To Get Away, but even after loving the third band's album I never seeked to hear more about them, a mistake, this album is very good. My second thought is why is the reunion album (American Dream) in the list instead of the debut or This Is Happening? Third one, I love when the guitars stay on one chord just jamming it in one place and everything else moves around that hanging chord.

So in This Is Hardcore, Pulp takes a left turn from UK mainstream and delivers a great album, that talks about the dark side of fame. The title track, Help The Aged and Glory Days are my highlights https://youtu.be/LxNCPe0n5sI?si=iV-t4999aYCNdd5O&t=594 the day after the revolution shouldnt be 15 minutes long

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Nov 20 2025

Solid debut with great singles, but not much than that.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
Nov 22 2025

One to listen to when you are down, a bit fun to play on the guitar, but not too challenging other than Shadowplay and Day of The Lords, you could probably use this album as a way to train your ears. It did not blow me away, but understand the place it has on UK/Manchester rock history https://ibb.co/album/8Y734G

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Nov 24 2025

I mean it was better than what the cover would let you think. But other than a song or two I didn't jam with the project as a whole.

xx by The xx
Nov 25 2025

So, I knew of Intro because of it's overuse in ads, Islands because of the OG Rocksmith. I hoped the album had more moments like the outro of Islands, it is chill, but I wanted a bit more of energy. Not saying that it is a bad album, just that it didn't give much more than what I knew beforehand. 2/5 whispers

High Violet by The National
Nov 26 2025

The cover perfectly reflects the music a mash of different elements that blur eachother, it is so damn hard to hear the instruments isolated from eachother with the echoes. The vocals are nice, but I cant understand half of the time

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Nov 27 2025

Her voice is so beautiful, but I feel like its so barebones that feels like I'm with Joni talking about life and the heartbreak of growing up.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Nov 29 2025

LP 1 > Very good 4/5 sparse instrumentation, but the Camile stuff makes it a sore thumb on a great first half LP 2 > Some interesting ideas yet more Camile stuff brings it down 3/5 for me could have been better as a 1LP

Palo Congo by Sabu
Nov 30 2025

Lets make a recipe Polyrhythm courtesy of the percussion Ocasional call and response vocals Sprinkled guitars at times The panning of the stereo brings down a bit, but it was something that was natural at the time 4/5

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Dec 01 2025

This album is so good, Amy's voice is great, shame that the people around her couldn't take care of the rise of fame. 4/5 Anecdote: The first time I saw/heard Amy was in MTV Los 10+ Pedidos (think of TRL for latam), the song was rehab and while I understood a tiny bit, the chorus was just blatant shout for help, the desperation in the third verses "I don't ever wanna drink again I just, ooh, I just need a friend" it feels like daggers when I think too much of the aftermath of the release of this album.

Metallica by Metallica
Dec 02 2025

Metallica had taken as far as they could their sound, so the natural thing to do was to strip that thing down and it revealed that they have some great chops. Wish it was a bit shorter, some songs just go on for days(totally fine in some cases, others less so). The bass shines on this one, who would've thought that giving a bit of low end would work for them?

Back to Basics by Christina Aguilera
Dec 03 2025

I feel like 22 tracks is way too long, the shift of feeling during Hurt gave me motion sickness

Tical by Method Man
Dec 05 2025

So I think it works in a playlist but not as a whole, but I am just a white boy from southamerica.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Dec 06 2025

nice textures and ill sample on the opener. Firestarter is a banger tho

Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
Dec 10 2025

Interesting in concept. It sounds boring.

...The Dandy Warhols Come Down by The Dandy Warhols
Dec 11 2025

All I knew before listening this album was Bohemian Like You and We Used to Be Friends, this sounds nothing like those two tracks, love the shoegaze inspiration that permeates this album, but I dont think it was influential. 4/5

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Dec 12 2025

4/5 I feel like I like better the single version of i and Mortal Man is too damn long, would probably do with the interview/poem alone

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 13 2025

Proto Weezer

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 16 2025

I listened to the two singles before Bowie passed but after he did pass away I just couldn't listen to the project as a whole. It has great moments indeed and it is poignant, but not the best Bowie album.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Dec 17 2025

Great 1-2-3 combo to kickstart the album. However as it goes on the flaws start to show. If we take the LP tracklist we end on a good instrumental, but if we follow the CD tracklist we have a great cover of War Pigs and a whimper to end the project. I still dont see why Anthony Kiedis saw Patton's rap/sung delivery as his own. 3/5

Dec 18 2025

Bob is just not for me in full dosages. Maybe a compilation or as a singles artist.

Parklife by Blur
Dec 19 2025

The album starts strong, but it drags after To The End. and it picks up right about the end with This Is a Low and Magic America. Parklife(the song) sounds like a broken Born To Be Wild record. Damon really mastered the art of writing about mundane british characthers.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Dec 20 2025

Good singles and I guess the Stevie Wonder cameo was good. 3/5 I find it funny that Leave Me Alone and Dirty Diana are like roadmaps to the weeknd 30 odd years before Abel started to do music. We are free from MJ.

Dub Housing by Pere Ubu
Dec 21 2025

There are better moments than the previous Pere Ubu album. But it's not something I would seek on my own time, *throws 2 shoes at the band*

Neon Bible by Arcade Fire
Dec 22 2025

Great moments, wonder what happened to the band post Reflektor to make such a deep dive into mediocrity

Synchronicity by The Police
Dec 23 2025

So this is a band on the verge of breaking up and by the end it shows Tea in The Sahara is a bad point, so if you bought the vinyl you had a whimper, but Murder by Numbers is not that good either for those with CDs or streaming the album. The two title tracks are great and I can't stand Every Breath You Take. 3/5 pd. Mother worries me

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Dec 24 2025

The Beatles are starting to use the studio as an instrument, the material is kinda good, but I didn't feel it was a major step up to have it in the list.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Dec 27 2025

So this album is so iconic on the UK, but the Stone Roses did not carry overseas to the US until they changed labels for their second coming album. This debut album and the following bustup with their label is a cautionary tale of checking what you are signing for, the legal case after the release of the album and stand alone singles basically killed their momentum. I like the album, but from Don't Stop and Elizabeth my dear kinda stick out like a sore thumb, it takes balls to do a song backwards and write new stuff for it, but the result is just ok. The rest of the album? Biblical... so its a 4/5 for me, the first time I heard it was probably ~18 years ago after hearing a cover of She Bangs The Drums in GH3 and wanting to hear more about the band RIP Mani played a bit of the album on guitar https://ibb.co/album/6J28KP

Moondance by Van Morrison
Dec 30 2025

If I were to compare it with American Pie it would be slightly worse because there isn't a highlight like the title track, still good album, just unremarkable.

Who's Next by The Who
Jan 01 2026

Baba O'Reilly and Won't Get Fooled Again are epic tracks that bookend an otherwise just ok album

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 03 2026

My first review of 2026, it's a good album.

American Pie by Don McLean
Jan 05 2026

Title track goes hard, the rest? Not so much

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 06 2026

WORKING TOO HARD CAN GIVE YOU A HEART ATTACK-ACK-ACK-ACK disk gets jammed ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK

Fun House by The Stooges
Jan 07 2026

It's funny cause it makes me want to hear the Doors instead. There are great moments on the second half, but the freak out last track took me out off the experience.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 08 2026

I don't think this is an essential listen for someone who doesn't know Metallica, it is a nice project, but not the one that pops up when I think of the best album by the band. Also 2 hours is too much for a project like this. The slower moments is where the orchestra shines. Hero of The Day, Nothing Else Matters. I suppose if Metallica had to do a greatest hits in the 90's instead of this concert it would have been with a similar tracklist but with a different feel for the newly written material(-Human and No Leaf Clover).

Lady In Satin by Billie Holiday
Jan 09 2026

Sometimes great music just doesnt resonates that much with you. This is one of those occasions for me.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jan 10 2026

I mean Money for Nothing and Walk of Life are bangers, but the rest of the album kinda bored me. Maybe One World as an exception to that rule. 3/5

Jan 11 2026

On his final album Johnny covers lots of music some is heightened by the passing of the artist, cant beat the cover of Hurt and the last track is a nice send off too. But as a whole is it something I have to hear before I die? Maybe. Hurt is a song you should listen but as a whole, I dont think so.

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Jan 13 2026

Good ballads but not much else.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jan 15 2026

Early electronic sounds like out of another world. The French knows how to make their electronic music.

You Are The Quarry by Morrissey
Jan 16 2026

Why this Moz album? Did it make waves other than being one of his solo albums? I'd like to know why this album is in the list, it feels very much like middle aged jagged british with irish ancestry angry album, with the world and himself. It's not one I will be returning to. Irish Blood, English Heart was in Fifa 2005 and was the first track I heard by Moz solo, not the track I think of when you ask me about that soundtrack. I prefer his work with the Smiths. 2/5

Transformer by Lou Reed
Jan 17 2026

I don't know, it feels like it lost the thing that made VU work. But it does have the biggest recognizeable songs of his solo career. 3/5

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jan 19 2026

More punk for the halloween season with a Doors inspired keyboardist, but I like it more than the previous one whose name slips by at the moment. 3/5

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jan 20 2026

I feel like I need a cappuccino macchiato. Its a lovely album, but no twist that shocks you along the ride and that's ok.

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Jan 21 2026

Passable soft rock album from the 2000s. Until the song 17, hits. Just why?

Technique by New Order
Jan 22 2026

At times it sounds majestic, but then there's this preset sound that permeates the other half of the tracks and I feel like I'm hearing someone play with a Casio. It's a tough sell to have in the list, but I can see why someone who is fan of the band would love this. I would put Power, Corruption & Lies instead.

Jan 24 2026

If there's one thing to critic about this album is that it has some freeform improv in the middle of it. Some of the best things in the genere you could hear besides that sore spot on it.

The Doors by The Doors
Jan 27 2026

I feel like the Doors had a great frontman, but what separated them from their peers was the lack of a bass player. Damn the keys go hard in this debut album. It falters a bit after Light My Fire(side A is spectacular) but the three singles are iconic for a reason.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jan 28 2026

Cool breakfast background music

All Directions by The Temptations
Jan 29 2026

Half funk half doowop, I liked the side A better. 3/5

Eagles by Eagles
Jan 30 2026

Its Eagles

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 31 2026

It just keeps you wanting to dance. Fernando as a bonus track works like a charm after the instrumental. 4/5

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Feb 04 2026

Ah, the first track is a chore to listen to that spoiled the rest of the experience. Not the ideal introduction to the band I suppose

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Feb 07 2026

Could an album like this happen in 2026 without the members splitting soon afterwards? I don't think so.

Tommy by The Who
Feb 09 2026

I feel like the album has a plot/tracklisting issue, you cant have fiddle about right next to Pinball Wizard.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Feb 12 2026

I feel like it's a way different experience than in Psychocandy and I don't like it. Like I'm sober trying to understand someone who is inebriated and I can't make some sense of the things they are trying to convey.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 14 2026

more like fever to yell

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 16 2026

It was nice, but as it got to the second LP I lost interest. Maybe will be better with more listens.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 17 2026

They turn the psychadelic sounds down for a bit and go back to the roots, Street Fighting Man and Sympathy for the Devil are worth the entry in the book, Salt of the Pepper makes it one of the Stones best.

Another Green World by Brian Eno
Feb 18 2026

Eh, I guess its something I must listen to before I die, but it doesnt has replayability beyond that point.

Can't Buy A Thrill by Steely Dan
Feb 19 2026

Smooth, but other than Do It Again I dont think I'll be hearing back from this album

Scott 4 by Scott Walker
Feb 20 2026

Just what I needed.

Meat Puppets II by Meat Puppets
Feb 21 2026

This wouldn't be on the list if it wasnt covered by Nirvana on their unplugged performance. The best tracks are the instrumental ones

Pink Flag by Wire
Feb 22 2026

Liked some bits of it, it's influential given the way Guided by Voices and Elastica used bits of their songs to make some of their own. But at some point the singer became some kind of white noise to me.

Feb 23 2026

It could change in the future but right now I'm feeling very annoyed by how the vocals intertwine with each other. The most annoying one was the one with a cappella vibes. I was wondering why Dave Sitek was a world class renowned producer but TV on the Radio wasn't mainstream popular and I think it has the right ingredients but it's applied in wrong doses. Like this isn't too far from what yeah yeah yeahs did but they had a charm that is lacking in here. 2/5 Wear You Out was the highlight of the album as it toned down the weirdness.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Feb 24 2026

Sounds like something Beck would've done if Loser didnt blow up and he became a just did Folk with hip hop inspired beats. Im shocked that The Three EPs isnt part of the 1001 list, as that is a more renowned release by this band 3/5

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Feb 26 2026

As great as powerpop goes. The concept and what you do to me were known but I hadn't heard the full album. What a way to finish up with Is This Music? It's almost bagpipes rock 🗿💎

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Feb 27 2026

Without this album the more influential wouldn't have existed, but it's not top of the line for Maiden.

B-52's by The B-52's
Feb 28 2026

It brings a smile to my face.

Ctrl by SZA
Mar 01 2026

Nice chill vibes

Truth by Jeff Beck
Mar 04 2026

You cant handle the truth. Pretty unremarkable album imo 2/5

Autobahn by Kraftwerk
Mar 05 2026

Maybe going off to a stroll, not driving into a driveway kind of album. Still, its a pretty experience.

Arc Of A Diver by Steve Winwood
Mar 07 2026

Can we hear Phil Collins instead? I feel like this is a second rate copy of PC. Cool usage of the moog but the material isn't quite up to scratch. 2/5

Mar 09 2026

Freedom 90 and Praying for Time are the highlights, the rest of the album is George trying to be serious, but only Soul Free kinda reach a certain level of the 1-2 punch that kickstarts the album. If it was about singles this would be on my list, but this isnt about that, so its a 2/5 but kuddos for trying something different, even if it doesn't pay off in the end.

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 15 2026

Radiohead wants to get out of the shadow of Creep and creates the road map for future UK rock bands to follow in the next decade.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Mar 16 2026

It's like Sabrina Carpenter in a way. Short n Sweet

So the singles are pleasant(minus Boiler, which is dog shit) if you tune out Fred Durst voice. The lyrics are abysmal, and having a cowrite with Trent Reznor because Fred used way too many NIN references is hilariously funny. But as a whole it is not a project I would be willingly coming back to.

Kenya by Machito
Mar 18 2026

Let's enjoy dancing to these sick beats

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Mar 20 2026

It has sultans of swing so it's a must listen on that track alone. Pretty listenanle

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Mar 21 2026

The ending of What's With Terry? brings it up to a 4/5 from a middle of the road affair.

Heroes by David Bowie
Mar 26 2026
Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 03 2026

The origin of Music makes you lose control(eh this isnt the origin, but rather a sample of a sample lol) that would be later sampled by Missy Elliot, I hear the synth of Sweet Dreams are made of these in Hypnotise The artist is Stuart Price aka Thin White Duke aka Jacques Lu Cont who would later produce albums by Madonna, The Killers, Kane From disco to disco vocals should've been more masked its way too on your face and it's clear that it is a sample slowed down. Sometimes is the highlight of the album, wish the rest of the project had more variety on the lyrics or samples used. I guess this is more about this person who made it in the music industry rather than what the album actually offers.

Da Capo by Love
Apr 04 2026

A side? Stellar, B-side? A nice 2 minute song stretched to 18 minutes for no reason, I dont get why this is on the list.

Beyond Skin by Nitin Sawhney
Apr 06 2026

Is the coverart a reference to The Bends or something? I dont know, music was chill but the message is hard to grasp without hindu knowledge, something about Nuclear Apocalypse that isnt fully conveyed, eh not something I would seek out, but nice to hear once in this list. 2/5

Tuesday Night Music Club by Sheryl Crow
Apr 11 2026

All I wanna do is have some fun. But the album isn't that good to begin with. The big single is worth the ticket to the list, but nothing else reaches that high.

Fifth Dimension by The Byrds
Apr 14 2026

One blink and it was gone. Did not made an impression.

Apr 15 2026

Love the big 3 singles, the rest could take or leave. Great debut album by Mr 247,87 Bolívares

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Apr 16 2026

Somehow the debut of a great band it lays the foundation that later better albums would grow into with the different configurations of the group. As it is, it is a pretty good record, but not one I'd say you need to listen before you die.

Let Love Rule by Lenny Kravitz
Apr 20 2026

Other than the title track and Mr Can Driver it bored me.

Slippery When Wet by Bon Jovi
Apr 22 2026

Fun singles, not the best of the genere, but I'd agree on the placement in the list

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Apr 26 2026

I liked the other SFA album better, didn't had a memorable moment through.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Apr 30 2026

In which Radiohead became one of the first to have a name your price for the digital download of their album. It's a pretty good one, short and sweet. Maybe their best?

Microshift by Hookworms
May 01 2026

Sometimes we know too much about certain artists. This was the last album before they disbanded in 2018 after some allegations, which may or may not be true, I can't be bothered to find out either way. interesting how the centerpiece in the album looks like a chopped penis.

Tarkus by Emerson, Lake & Palmer
May 02 2026

I guess it's alright, not something I'd comeback to

The Next Day by David Bowie
May 04 2026

I mean Bowie coming back after a decade of radio silence is nice, but I feel like its not necesary on the list; 3/5

Suede by Suede
May 06 2026

It's a good album with great singles. Maybe not worth all the hype the UK press gave it, but it was the start of a new movement in the UK music scene that would rule for the rest of the decade.

The White Album by Beatles
May 08 2026

So, by 1698 the beatles had already released their zenit as a recording unit with Sgt Peppers, they tried filming and making the soundtrack to Magical Mystery Tour with mixed results. The White Album is a mixed bag of different genres, inspired by the vacation in India where they met with Maharishi Mahesh. with 30 songs they had a pretty good average of bangers and ballads, the cracks that ended the band were starting to show.

A Short Album About Love by The Divine Comedy
May 10 2026

Scott Walker if he had an obession with horses or dogs, the lyrics are a turn off for me

The Man Who by Travis
May 13 2026

It's a nice album to chill/fall asleep to. Memorable lyric what's an Wonderwall anyways. The secret track is a nice change of pace. But I don't think I'll be returning to this one other than a handful of tracks. There are better projects I'd rather have insteas like the bends or grace

Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
May 15 2026

Relax and let your stress go away for half an hour

I Should Coco by Supergrass
May 16 2026

Sometimes you can record lightning in a bottle

Aja by Steely Dan
May 18 2026

relaxing for work hours with coworkers, but not sure if I would listen elsewhere

Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt
May 20 2026

Not my cup of tea

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
May 22 2026

Love Loveless, this one is a lesser version of that.

Third by Soft Machine
May 23 2026

Jazz isn't something I'd listen on a regular basis, this is a good listen, but I don't think I'll get back into it.

May 24 2026

Album that saved the band from bankruptcy, but I don't think it belong in the list if we already have Parklife and the Self titled. Not to say that it is a bad album, just not the best from Albarn and Co.

Stripped by Christina Aguilera
May 27 2026

Christina wants to be free from the bubblegum pop that reigns her debut album and it is a interesting listen. I enjoy the singles since I knew them from back in the day, but wouldn't go back to the project as a whole.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 29 2026
The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jun 01 2026

Interesting story, not a piano connoisseur to judge it on the performance itself, but it was a variation

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jun 05 2026

It's not totally acoustic record but shows a different sound in the band.

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jun 08 2026

I enjoy it, but not as much to rate it 5 stars.

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
Jun 18 2026

Valid placement on the list given the cultural importance of being part of The Exorcist, but there are a few bits I didn't enjoy, like for example the new instruments were announced or the grunt/singing on the second side of the vinyl.

Jun 29 2026

Pretty much what you'd expect of a mid 80's synthpop album with powerhouse vocals. Take on Me is the highlight and The Sun Always Shines on T.V. is a close second. 3/5

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jul 01 2026

In retrospective it feels so demolike compared to what was to come after. Practically is a Dave Grohl solo with a guest guitar on one of the tracks. Rises from the ashes of Nirvana, but it isnt quite as good.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jul 03 2026

Madonna does trip hop while showing maturity. I prefer the remix of the title track, but other than that it's a great album

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Jul 13 2026

A nice album, that I would only listen to a few key tracks/singles (Red Alert)

Survivor by Destiny's Child
Jul 21 2026

I'll keep the singles, you ask about and the rest? I dont think so

Close To You by Carpenters
Jul 29 2026

It was an alright album to wind down the day, maybe not one Ill go back to but nice to have once in a while

Nowhere by Ride
Jul 30 2026

I havent listened to this in years, damn half of the album is great, but the other half hasnt aged that well. Dang
