Popular Reviews

The Band by The Band

I’m starting to doubt my love for music because of this list which I have NEVER done before, what the fuck xx

Nixon by Lambchop

This list is making me fucking tired, i can think of tens of albums that would have deserved a spot instead of this one

1-Star Albums (12)

All Ratings (66)

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Jan 03 2025

too repetitive musically for my taste it’s just the blues scheme with minor deviations ALL OVER & IN EVERY SONG i’m bored guys

Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon & Garfunkel
Jan 04 2025

first track was a bit too slow for me afterwards i think it started getting better i mean i don’t hate it but folk isn’t my cup of tea really the second song is my favourite anyway these tracks are still well written and i can imagine this being the pinnacle of music for a die hard folk fan so i can’t give it 1 star of course

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jan 05 2025

Oi now don’t get me wrong this is great music this is class but for 3 hours?? Bit too extreme no? The songs are also starting to feel monotone in relation to one another the longer I’m listening to it. Can’t give this more than 2 stars sorry & i only listened to one side

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jan 06 2025

reminds me of comedown machine by the strokes but made a tad more interesting and with more variety someone great is quite interesting okay the longer this goes on the more boring it gets i guess it's fine but it's not really my thing so i don't think i'll return to the full album anytime soon the album closer is quite decent it's really not bad

1989 by Taylor Swift
Jan 07 2025

ever since i signed up this algorithm has been giving me rather bad albums but this has got to top it PLEASE NO 😫😫😫 i can imagine people enjoying this i guess but this is SO bland i cant deal with it anymore there’s nothing remotely interesting or different like why should i listen to this when i can just listen to something else that’s more authentic and actually interesting ?? as much as i want to like something about it it’s so boring i just can’t, it’s catchy but not in a way that’s even pleasant or enjoyable for me, maybe it’s just not my type of thing sorry

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
Jan 08 2025

ok this is probably just the nostalgia factor but these guys really made my childhood and i just fucking love them for it. i’ve got plenty of memories that are associated with their songs especially live forever and such, you know from listening to them while out having fun with friends and all so this album just means a lot to me, so to whoever doesn’t get it that’s your loss mate i’m actually sorry xx

All Hail the Queen by Queen Latifah
Jan 09 2025

it’s a decent album i’m not too keen on hip hop myself as i haven’t heard enough to know what’s good and what’s not but for paving the way for women in this genre i’ve got to give extra points really great

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Jan 10 2025

Well written songs i can appreciate them but it’s not something that really sticks out to me as a whole Car on a Hill is a highlight though that song is amazing

Fragile by Yes
Jan 11 2025

okay i can't think of much they could have done better, it's the perfect mixture of complex enough to catch your attention and catchy enough to make you stay

Jan 12 2025

only liked the second song when i want to listen metal i surely would put something else on. hope that speaks for itself xx

Kala by M.I.A.
Jan 13 2025

It’s nothing really special and nothing I personally would revisit in full other than one song (Jimmy). It was also quite repetitive which was sad, sorry

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Jan 14 2025

forgot how much i loved this, just plain brilliance if it was a tad bit more versatile i'd have given it a 5 but a 4 isn't bad either xx

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jan 15 2025

wasn't expecting to be too fond of it but i really enjoyed this xx

Jan 16 2025

quite the good album, free bird is one of the best songs ever written and the rest isn’t bad at all either, one minus point to them for being racist i will not tolerate that xx

I Against I by Bad Brains
Jan 17 2025

a lot better than the average punk album, it’s fun cool and different so yesss x i love let me help and she’s calling you sooo much

The White Album by Beatles
Jan 18 2025

Best double album PERIODT xx but the first side is significantly better than the second.. whatever they’re still good

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jan 19 2025

good for what blues can be i guess, minus point for being a nonce who married his cousin xx

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis
Jan 20 2025

so far i only knew kind of blue and this is so different in comparison, kind of blue is just straight up cool jazz (i think?) and here it’s different, there’s more going on than in classic jazz and i LOVE when people mix genres to make something great and especially THIS great so this is without a doubt a 5 xx

Jan 21 2025

well it's fine i guess, i can respect the musicianship and the songs are clearly very well written but i'd be lying if i said this is the peak of music for me personally, and since i can't give something a high score that i personally don't find that enjoyable this will do xx pals i even listened to it twice cause i really wished for it to click

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 22 2025

well there’s no denying that there’s better punk out there but this is alright to some extent too, but if i wanted punk i’d put something else on and that’s the thing. it has some passable tracks, though for me a lot of them especially on the second half of the record started flowing together and sounding the same. for me usually punks very basic musical composition is to accentuate the lyrics, which usually have some sort of political message of the times the songs were written, which is what makes the genre so great. can't give it those points though if half the songs are about wanking you know?? on a second thought it strikes me as if green day doesn't possess the inherent punk ideology that kickstarted the genre, they just heard where it came from and not caring about the politics just tried to fit into the "lifestyle" of actual punks, which is just a tad inauthentic really and takes away the rawness, the anger, and desire for change that authentic punk possesses, so it almost just isn't punk at all... but i digress hihi xx

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jan 23 2025

really funky and whoever composed the guitar on this did a good job. not enough extraordinary songs for an extraordinary score, first track was great though cheers x

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Jan 24 2025

when i saw i got a stranglers album today on my way to school i almost jumped up in joy, i'll let that speak for itself xx

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jan 25 2025

painfully average phoney punk xx i won’t brush it off as something that completely isnt for me as i can still get into some parts of it, but then those parts are destroyed by the repelling screeching which is in Every. Song. it’s really by no means “good” sorry xx

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jan 26 2025

good music, it’s just that there’s too much vibrato on his voice. nonetheless well written, personal, deep, and emotional. cheers x

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
Jan 27 2025

OMG YES YES YES I JUMPED UP IN EXCITEMENT WHEN I SAW THIS ALBUM TODAY YES X Now the very professional review: I love the harmonies and the jazzy sound it’s just magical and groovy and so nice The bass on Green Flower Street and especially New Frontier oh my god The very professional conclusion: this is definitely one of the best 1001 albums out there if not one of the best 100 or 50, cheers people xx

Garbage by Garbage
Jan 28 2025

why'd they name themselves garbage when they're anything but garbage, i can think of at least 50 bands who fit this name better xx there's a lot of songs that are great but unfortunately there are some that are rather lackluster, so the overall sound gets a little flawed, but it's still a great album by all means xx

Jan 29 2025

oasis literally made my fucking life i just love them i have no words to describe how perfect this album is 6/5 cheers x

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Jan 30 2025

Mindblowing how an album can start of with one of the best songs ever written and then just contain boring, casual music with barely anything noteworthy

Unhalfbricking by Fairport Convention
Jan 31 2025

I’m not too keen on folk, I could get into the opener and Autopsy but the rest not really x

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Feb 02 2025

huge props for taking a more complex, electronic route than what is expected for the average pop album, it was still slightly forgettable though.. there are some songs i’ll return to sometime x

Searching For The Young Soul Rebels by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 03 2025

started off VERY strong, started lacking a little more towards the end love the brass and everything though so still amazing, cheers xx

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 05 2025

the sound was rather confusing, at points it sounded like the vocals and track were completely different, nothing was accentuating anything and it felt very confusing, there were some points that sounded cohesive but in general the album felt very directionless now for my personal first two tracks sounded well enough to me, afterwards the general course of the album was moving rather negatively and i can’t really say this is something i necessarily like well enough for a 3 star, but i still decided to give it the 3 for kickstarting the shoegaze/dreampop genre that is even now still active, innovation is always great after all! x

Young Americans by David Bowie
Feb 06 2025

this sounds like it’s from the 80s when it’s only from ‘75.. i think that says it all i’m more of a heroes person but i love something about all of his music that i’ve heard before (everything pre 90s), i LOVEEE fascination it’s my favourite track and i just don’t know what else to say, it’s bowie he’s the definition of icon x

G. Love And Special Sauce by G. Love & Special Sauce
Feb 07 2025

all of it sounds the same and it’s far from good enough for it to be good nonetheless, i have no idea how i finished this x

Buena Vista Social Club by Buena Vista Social Club
Feb 08 2025

when i read ensemble of cuban musicians i already knew it was gonna be good and i did definitely enjoy it, i listened to it twice, the only complaint i have is that the music all through sounds very similar but you can look past that as it is good, but my bigger complaint is that towards the end it started lacking, so i can’t give a 4 xx to the person who gave a one star because “not in english” respectfully, what the actual fuck??

Among The Living by Anthrax
Feb 09 2025

tracks themselves weren’t basic but altogether the songs sounded pretty much the same, i don’t know i didn't like it that much x

S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things
Feb 10 2025

they’re no cream but they aren’t horrid either now are they

The Band by The Band
Feb 11 2025

I’m starting to doubt my love for music because of this list which I have NEVER done before, what the fuck xx

Feb 12 2025

I was a huge fan of the big band elements, i didnt like the slow and calm the mikents too much though so most of it wasn’t that great to me x

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Feb 13 2025

if this list has taught me anything then it is that i hate folk. it is slow, no variety, nothing that makes it remotely interesting, exactly what i hate about music x

Jagged Little Pill by Alanis Morissette
Feb 15 2025

standard mid 90s alt rock, the second song which is a single was reaaallly good but literally everything else was so basic i was praying for it to end soon… respectfully, this album sounds like a romcom and i hate romcoms so x

Fire Of Love by The Gun Club
Feb 16 2025

bad, i don’t wanna waste more words x

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Feb 17 2025

Steven Tylers story and the lyrics on some of these leave a bad taste in my mouth, musically not that great either especially with everything else that was being released in the mid 70s i really dont see why you would listen to them x

2112 by Rush
Feb 18 2025

good stuff cheers x

American Gothic by David Ackles
Feb 19 2025

i wasn’t expecting to like this at all but i loved the instrumentation and it felt really dramatic, i really loved this one, but i was more of a fan of the brass songs and the slower piano songs i couldn’t get too much into. still good record nonetheless CHEERS x

Abbey Road by Beatles
Feb 20 2025

my english teacher back then introduced me to the beatles as she was a huge fan and it quickly became the first album i owned. this was my life back when i was like 11, i still have vivid memories of putting this on and doing my homework listening to it 🥺 time flies

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Feb 21 2025

i’m not the biggest fan of singer songwriter as it’s often too monotone for my taste but this actually had a little bit of orchestral variety so that’s good, still not something i’d feel like listening to other than the opening track which was brilliant, the third one was brilliant too, well x

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Feb 22 2025

i like triphop and electronica but they can do much better than that, see mezzanine, sorry x

The Cars by The Cars
Feb 23 2025

Omg i love new wave so much i knew this was gonna be absolutely fucking great and boy was i RIGHT x

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Feb 24 2025

Okay, it’s okay, it could be better and it could be worse

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Feb 25 2025

It’s don’t know what to say except please stop giving me country albums i don't think i can take it anymore

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Feb 26 2025

Had 10 hours of school, came home and had to listen to this, my headache got WORSE. This is BAD. This is if the Beatles were absolute unbearable shite x

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 27 2025

Second album i’ve gotten by them and i still dont like them.. well

Nixon by Lambchop
Feb 28 2025

This list is making me fucking tired, i can think of tens of albums that would have deserved a spot instead of this one

Tommy by The Who
Mar 01 2025

Good concept album

Rocks by Aerosmith
Mar 02 2025

Better than the Toys in the attic one that i also had to rate, still doesn’t go beyond stadium rock…. It’s not something where I would go “Oh i’m in the mood for some Aerosmith” you know?

Murder Ballads by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 03 2025

It’s not bad per se, just a little dragged into length and the songwriting to me feels a little lazy, i know it’s for storytelling purpose, but what can i say? it’s an acquired taste that i don't think i possess

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Mar 04 2025

Good, interesting, different. Enjoyed it

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Mar 05 2025

Forgettable, bad, why is this here

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
Mar 06 2025

Used to think i just didn’t like the blues since most of the time it felt repetitive and uninspiring, but i genuinely LOVED this. It was jazzier and the live elements and the audience responses made the album feel more cohesive and interesting. This is what i signed up for x

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Mar 09 2025

Usually like this type of music, what a shame
