Popular Reviews

The Chronic by Dr. Dre

There is no denying that Dre is a great producer. The beats were so good. The writing was not the best and was easily forgettable. Also, I didn't understand the significance of the sketches. I thought it was random and didn't fit in. Overall, it was ok. I'm sure someone who listened to the album when it first came out in 1992 is able to appreciate it more.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin

There is no way I will give it below 5 stars. 🤩

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses

I was able to listen to only 8 songs. This album is not available on Spotify or any of the other music streaming platforms. Someone made a small playlist on YouTube, and it is the one I picked to listen to. So, my review score will be based on those 8 songs.

Infected by The The

I've never heard of this band, but I liked what I heard. I'll put it on my radar the next time I run into them again but with a different album.

All Ratings (234)

Kid A by Radiohead
Jan 14 2025

It was alright. Some tracks were good, others forgettable. Nice enough to listen to in the background and relax.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 15 2025

Initially, it caught me off guard, but I enjoyed it more with repeatable listening.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jan 16 2025

Love it! Got me humming and singing.

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 17 2025

💃🕺

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jan 19 2025
Country Life by Roxy Music
Jan 20 2025

A lot going on but still enjoyable.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jan 21 2025
I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jan 27 2025

Not bad for being their first debut album. I liked it.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jan 28 2025

I listened this in remaster, but I think I'll still give this 5 stars if I listen to the original.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jan 29 2025
Arise by Sepultura
Jan 31 2025
Chore of Enchantment by Giant Sand
Feb 03 2025

I am giving it a 2 because of the bonus tracks. Without them, it would have been 1 star. The beginning was not great but it picked up a little at the end. It's not an album I will visit again, but it doesn't mean that I won't give the band another try with a different album.

Queen II by Queen
Feb 10 2025

Queen is one of my favorite bands of all time. Of course I will give it 5 stars.

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Feb 13 2025

I was not disappointed.

Feb 17 2025

I did not expect this to be dark for country music, but I kind of like it. 😅 It was something different for once.

21 by Adele
Feb 19 2025

I can see why people love this album. I've listened to Adele's songs before, but not a whole album from start to finish. I'll give this a 4 because there were two or three songs that I didn't care for.

D by White Denim
Feb 20 2025
After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Feb 21 2025

I did struggle with this one. The first time I listened at work it was uninteresting. I had to play it a second time at home with no distractions, and it was a little better. Not an album I would play often.

Tical by Method Man
Feb 23 2025
Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Feb 28 2025

I didn't understand a word, but it got me humming.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Mar 01 2025

There is no denying that Dre is a great producer. The beats were so good. The writing was not the best and was easily forgettable. Also, I didn't understand the significance of the sketches. I thought it was random and didn't fit in. Overall, it was ok. I'm sure someone who listened to the album when it first came out in 1992 is able to appreciate it more.

The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Mar 02 2025

Boring. I was falling asleep. I liked There Is a Kingdom though.

Your Arsenal by Morrissey
Mar 03 2025

This man is not well-liked. lol I'm setting aside the kind of person he is, and rate solely the album. It gets a 3 stars. There were a few songs that I was tuning out, and the ones that I did enjoy felt average to me.

Let's Stay Together by Al Green
Mar 04 2025

I can tell that I enjoyed this album. It went by so quick. For once I was listening to something that wasn't dragging on for too long.

Central Reservation by Beth Orton
Mar 06 2025

Soothing. It's nothing groundbreaking, but I can listen to this and relax/chill in my room.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Mar 09 2025

Whoever told him to have his first live concert at a prison and let him sing songs about murder in front of all these prisoners is a genius. Ngl the whole concept was funny to me. The entire album was so engaging. Those prisoners were having a blast. lol

Low by David Bowie
Mar 10 2025

This kind of music is usually hit or miss. I don't listen to it very often, but I can appreciate the direction it is taking. The same is true of this album. It's not David's best work but good nonetheless.

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Mar 11 2025

Classic.

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Mar 12 2025

It caught me off guard. I did not expect it to sound so theatre, but I kind of like it.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Mar 13 2025

It's wasn't bad but there are other better albums. It's not the one I will recommend to people that are interested in listening to his music.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Mar 14 2025

I don't know what to say about this album. I had to listen to it three times, but even then I'm still confused. 😂 I'll give it a 3 since I didn't hate it.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Mar 16 2025

I don't get it.

Opus Dei by Laibach
Mar 17 2025

I remember last year someone recommended this album, and I liked it. I still like it even now.

The Bends by Radiohead
Mar 21 2025

I liked this one more than the Kid A album.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Mar 22 2025

I can't believe it took me this long to listen to Amy Winehouse.

Third by Portishead
Mar 24 2025
Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Mar 25 2025

There is no way I will give it below 5 stars. 🤩

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 31 2025

Way better than the Sensual World.

Rio by Duran Duran
Apr 02 2025

Love it.

Aja by Steely Dan
Apr 03 2025

It arrived at a sad time in my life. It made me feel better.

Dust by Screaming Trees
Apr 07 2025
Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Apr 10 2025

I liked the music, but the album was too long. At disc 2, I was starting to zone out. I prefer albums around 45 minutes to 1 hr running time. I can make an exception for specific artists and genres, but I like them short overall. Still, that won't affect the rating that I am giving, which is 4 stars.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Apr 11 2025
Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
Apr 12 2025

I don't understand Bob Dylan at all. Maybe I need more time to comprehend his music. The last album I listened to was Blood on the Tracks, and I don't remember why I gave it 4 stars. I probably was in a good mood that day if I rated it that high. lol Highway 61 Revisited wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I didn't feel anything. I will say that he plays the guitar and harmonica very well, but the lyrics are forgettable. I'm going to give it a 3. There's something there that I'm not noticing. I may have to revisit his work later on. Hopefully, I'll run into another album of his.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Apr 14 2025

I was able to listen to only 8 songs. This album is not available on Spotify or any of the other music streaming platforms. Someone made a small playlist on YouTube, and it is the one I picked to listen to. So, my review score will be based on those 8 songs.

Smash by The Offspring
Apr 20 2025
Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 23 2025
Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Apr 24 2025

I wasn't feeling it.

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Apr 25 2025

Very short

Live! by Fela Kuti
Apr 26 2025
Roots by Sepultura
Apr 27 2025

I love Metal music what can I say. 🤷

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 03 2025

C'mon it's Michael Jackson y'all. Thrilleeeeer! 🧟

May 04 2025

The album playlist is short, but why are the songs length long???? The first one being 18 mins. 😭

May 05 2025

It is different from the other albums I've listened to so far. It's not bad, but I need time to process it more. So, in the meantime, I'll give it 3 stars and save it in my library.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
May 06 2025

This was actually pretty good. 🤩

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
May 07 2025

I was reading Parsons bio and I can't believe he died so young. He had so much potential. It's not my type of music, but there were some songs that I did liked, one of them being "Love Hurts".

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
May 08 2025

I wasn't vibing with this at work, but I played it a second time as I headed home. It started raining and was getting cloudy, and because of it, I was vibing with the music. Maybe it had something to do with the mood, how certain music sounds better depending on your environment.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
May 09 2025

Sometimes Spotify puts itself on a loop without my permission, so I ended up listening to this 4 times. I am not complaining. I liked it. Also, someone said the singer sounds like Kate Bush, and now I can't get that out of my head. 😂

May 10 2025

I'm giving this a 3. I was going to give it a 2, but there were some tracks that I liked. The problem is that I tuned out halfway through the album twice.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
May 11 2025

I listened to this five times, and I still can't remember anything. I like the album cover, though.

Kings Of The Wild Frontier by Adam & The Ants
May 12 2025

It's all over the place. And a pirate song? 😂 I was confused on my first listen, but there are some catchy songs.

Parachutes by Coldplay
May 13 2025

I've only liked two songs from here: "Don't Panic" and "Yellow". The other songs were alright to me. Coldplay is one of those bands I struggle to get into. I am not saying they are bad, but it's not for me. I usually like one or two songs on their albums.

Medúlla by Björk
May 14 2025

What the hell is this??? The first time, I was so confused. Sounded like she was having an exorcist. 🤣 I had to play this a couple of times. This is so unique. I enjoyed this one. Call me crazy, but I am giving it five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Palo Congo by Sabu
May 15 2025

I grew up listening to this type of music, so I don't hate it like others do. I appreciate that it was something different this time.

Olympia 64 by Jacques Brel
May 16 2025

Nice 👍

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
May 17 2025

Not my favorite album of them, but I love the band.

The Gilded Palace Of Sin by The Flying Burrito Brothers
May 18 2025

It was alright. I guess I was expecting more. Still, I didn't hate it.

Public Image: First Issue by Public Image Ltd.
May 19 2025

Nobody in my inner circle (besides me) likes punk music. 😂 And I get it. It's not the most appealing compared to other genres. They would've immediately hated this album, but I like to keep an open mind. The only song I did not like was the first track, "Theme". Everything else was fine. I don't know why they have two repetitive songs next to each other. I preferred track 3 with the music notes in it. My two overall favorites are "Annalisa" and "Public Image". I will give it a four. PS. Ironically, I got this album the same month the new Pope Leo XIV was announced. 🤣

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
May 20 2025

This is so 80s, and I like it. I'm a '90s kid, but I remember my mom playing "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" every time she would clean the house. It's her favorite song even to this day. It's a pretty good album.

Fever To Tell by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
May 23 2025

I want to hear more from them.

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division
May 24 2025

I said it in a previous review: Punk music is either a hit or a miss. Some people aren't going to like it, and that's fine. I like this album. It set the tone for me.

The Poet by Bobby Womack
May 25 2025

I was jamming.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
May 26 2025

No complaints.

May 27 2025

It's not bad, although I prefer their other album, "Fear of Music." Still, I will give it the same grade as the other album.

May 28 2025

It sounds similar to Radiohead and Coldplay which it's not bad, but I don't care for it in the end. Its not the type of music I will replay often.

High Violet by The National
May 29 2025

I listened to this at work twice and was going to give it three stars. Then, after work, it was raining, and I played this again for the third time. For some reason, I liked it. I want to say the rain changed the mood. I swear bands like The National, Radiohead, Coldplay, and Elbow sound better in the rain. I don't know because without it, I wouldn't care about either of them. I'll give it four stars.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 30 2025

I will give it a solid C. Nothing special, but it still has a couple of good songs.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Jun 02 2025

I have not seen the movie, but I may now after listening to this.

Who's Next by The Who
Jun 03 2025

The version of the album I listened to was sooo looooong. The deluxe edition includes the live performances. 2h 33 min!!! 😩 They are lucky that I like them enough to listen to it all. 😂

Peggy Suicide by Julian Cope
Jun 08 2025

A decent album, but it's too long.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 09 2025

Like the music, his voice not so much.

Technique by New Order
Jun 11 2025

The work at my job was hectic, and this helped me a great deal.

Oxygène by Jean-Michel Jarre
Jun 12 2025

It reminds me a video game/movie sci fi soundtrack, which is good for me.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

I've never heard of this album before; I kind of like it. It's a little different from what they usually sing.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 14 2025

I've listened to this so many times I've lost count. Pretty good.

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Jun 16 2025

It's ok. I noticed that I can only enjoy this kind of genre when it's raining or in a quiet environment; otherwise, I start to tune out.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jun 17 2025

2005 Remaster version. I'm not a fan of the skits. Still a good album nonetheless.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jun 18 2025
Imperial Bedroom by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Jun 19 2025

This album was a little better than the last one from him, "This Year's Model" (1978).

Goo by Sonic Youth
Jun 20 2025

It wasn't bad. I was listening to this while chilling in the car.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jun 21 2025

One of my favorite albums from Prince.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jun 22 2025

There are some classics in there.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jun 24 2025

I remember liking this in high school. Still do, but not as much.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jun 27 2025

I'm only given it a four.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Jun 29 2025

This doesn't have a repeat value.

evermore by Taylor Swift
Jun 30 2025

I've never had a problem of listening to Taylor Swift. Not someone I'll go out of the way to listen to. The music she makes are ok. The song I recognize in this album is gold rush.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Jul 23 2025
Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

I can't believe I got this album the day after Ozzy Osbourne passing. Rest in peace Prince of Darkness . 😭

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
Jul 27 2025

This was so calm. I needed it so much.

Sea Change by Beck
Jul 28 2025

*sigh. Why is it so hard for me to get into folk music? I mean, it wasn't bad, but still....

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jul 30 2025

UK version.

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Jul 31 2025

The music was good. The lyrics, though... They are not memorable. Still, not bad.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Aug 01 2025

I wasn't convinced at first. But the more I replay it, the more I started to like it. It is an album that requires relisten a few times.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Aug 02 2025

I have the vinyl. I love this album.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Aug 03 2025

I know this came first, but this album reminds me a little of MF Doom. The production style is similar. The lyrics have interesting wordplay and are worth reexamining. The only issue I have is the way Kool Keith raps. He raps with no energy at all. I don't know if that's his style, but it took me time to get used to.

Songs From A Room by Leonard Cohen
Aug 04 2025

Ngl. There are some nice songs here. Plus, it's short and doesn't drag on.

Infected by The The
Aug 06 2025

I've never heard of this band, but I liked what I heard. I'll put it on my radar the next time I run into them again but with a different album.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 08 2025

It started slow, but picked up half way through.

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Aug 11 2025

I like Smashing Pumpkins, but two hours is too long for me. I had to take a break between Disc 1 and 2. They have some good songs here, so I will give them a 4.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Aug 12 2025

I can see what people mean that this sounds better while your stone or drinking because I was kind of getting bored half way through.

Arular by M.I.A.
Aug 13 2025

It's different from the other albums I have heard so far.

Raw Like Sushi by Neneh Cherry
Aug 15 2025

I liked it till Love Ghetto after that I wasn't feeling the music or lyrics.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Aug 16 2025

No complaints

New Wave by The Auteurs
Aug 17 2025

It's not bad. If I had more time, I think I could appreciate it more. Just like Coldplay and Radiohead, etc.

Hot Shots II by The Beta Band
Aug 18 2025

I have mixed feelings, but it's not awful.

Punishing Kiss by Ute Lemper
Aug 20 2025

I was confused. I thought this album was from a musical based on the lyrics and tone of the music. Nope. It's a style they went for. lol I don't hate it. It's an interesting choice.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Aug 21 2025

I've only listened to this once, but it's enough to convince me I like it.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Aug 23 2025

Folk music is a hit or miss with me. This one hit the right spot.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Aug 26 2025

So, two Beastie Boys albums. Back-to-Back. I just heard their "Licensed To Ill" last night. They are trying to tell me something. 😂 Like the previous album, I like the production, but not the lyrics. Some are fine, others feel outdated. Does that mean I will never hear of them again? No. They have some good songs there, and I will not mind hearing them again.

Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub
Aug 27 2025

Pretty good. I can listen to this on repeat and relax.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Aug 28 2025

An album I enjoyed out of the week.

Dry by PJ Harvey
Aug 29 2025
Jazz Samba by Stan Getz
Sep 01 2025

Now I need coffee with this.

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis
Sep 02 2025

Three jazz albums in a row, but I ain't complaining.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Sep 03 2025

I'm surprised that I enjoyed it more than I should.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Sep 04 2025

At least the band isn't misleading. It has bongos. I thought the album was alright. I can see myself listening to this again in a more relaxed environment.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
Sep 07 2025

I didn't enjoy it as much as I should.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Sep 13 2025

Cheerleader
