Popular Reviews

Used to listen to this on the bus ride everyday in high school. Insane to think that, right after this, Pink Floyd wrote Wish You Were Here, Animals, and The Wall all within about 6 years. 5 easily

The Stranger by Billy Joel

It's okay. Every time I listen to Billy Joel I'm reminded of my college music theory professor who hated his guts for some personal slight.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Jan 13 2025

bro is really just naming different people the whole time 2.5 maybe the most mediocre album i've ever heard

Nevermind by Nirvana
Jan 14 2025

Why is he always talking about guns. 3 This is 100% a good album but it's a chore to listen to.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Jan 17 2025

Not the best workout album 3 It's missing something...

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Jan 20 2025

3 I know I'm white because this just reminds me of the Beastie Boys, who released their first album the same year as this

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Jan 21 2025

You can tell this is the in-between of like 50s rock and the later 80s/90s rock. Sounds like it should be from the early 60s rather than the 70s imo. 2

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Jan 22 2025

First half is definitely better than the second. But, maybe I'm just not weird enough to get it. 4

Killing Joke by Killing Joke
Jan 24 2025

Tolerable. The Wait is good, Bloodsport is a good workout tune for cardio. 3

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Jan 27 2025

Pretty neat. What I think of when I think of jazz. Still not really my thing but still good. Kind of Blue edges it out as the better Miles Davis album to me. 3

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 28 2025

This is a natural development in the music that Elvis was pioneering. I had a realization about halfway through this album like Mr. Krabs playing golf: "Wait a minute, I hate Van Halen" 2

Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Jan 29 2025

This album sucks. Like Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Silver Mt. Zion but bad. Temptation of Egg is maybe the only halfway good song on this album. 1

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jan 30 2025

Not sure about this one. Maybe if I'd discovered it in college, but now I just find it annoying

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Feb 03 2025

OOO yeah this is good. I was worried with it being a live album but trusted I was in good hands with Thin Lizzy. I know I'd like a little more Irish in me. 5

Ill Communication by Beastie Boys
Feb 04 2025

Hmm. This is good, but I think I'm starting to realize that I don't really like hip-hop. Sabotage is great, but that's because it's their most rock song. Am I old? Or not old enough? 2

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Feb 05 2025

Yeah this kinda sucks. There's a song in the beginning that reminds me of the MST3k theme though. And Our House. 2

Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer
Feb 06 2025

This was not what I was in the mood for. I like CCR, but this album confirms to me that that's the exception, not the rule.

Floodland by Sisters Of Mercy
Feb 07 2025

This Corrosion is neat. Rest of the album is not great. If anyone is listening to this outside of being forced or it being the month of October, please seek mental health services. 2

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Feb 10 2025

Genuinely could not finish. It's not that it's bad, it's just so outside the realm of what I enjoy. Why'd he make us all look at his bald head so close up? 1

Fun House by The Stooges
Feb 12 2025

Okay. I enjoyed it when I was listening to it, but honestly I often forgot it was on as it played. 3

Feb 13 2025

I see your toes you little freak. This entire project is teaching me that, 99% of music made isn't bad, isn't good, it just is. Some folks might be struck a certain way by it, most folks won't be. That's alright. You don't have to enjoy everything. 2

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Feb 14 2025

It's good. I enjoyed it. I probably won't listen to it ever again, unless I boot up Tropico or go to a coffee shop that isn't playing jazz. 4

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 18 2025

Nirvana is bad. 2

Feb 19 2025

Sure man whatever can you please not give me albums that are exclusively 50 years old. Honestly the more I think about it, the more I think the main problem is that (at least so far) this has forced me to listen to something I don't like almost every day, for usually 30min-1hr. That's a lot of the time I spend daily listening to music, and this is the first that it's not just music that I know I already like. Maybe that's what I'm revolting against

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Feb 26 2025

It's okay. Every time I listen to Billy Joel I'm reminded of my college music theory professor who hated his guts for some personal slight.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Mar 04 2025

When they hit, they HIT. When they don't, meh.

Debut by Björk
Mar 10 2025

I like her. Weird, in a fun way

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Mar 11 2025

Now HERE'S something I can wag my finger to!

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Mar 18 2025

This is seriously impressive how they managed to make every song sound identical. Something with the mixing of rock in this era makes everything mushy to me. It's okay. Not sure how Highway to Hell was picked as the hit over any of the other songs here.
