Popular Reviews

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson

Calling this underrated would maybe be exaggerated, but I still think it deservesto be praised as much as the other 2 records, even if I slightly prefer Red

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Finally getting the right opportunity, after loving Wild God last year (and wow those albums are 21 years apart) to dig deeper into the large Nick Cave & the bad seeds' discography. Now, this is how you make a double album, the 2 sides sounds different from eachother, and both are very very solid: as a double albums liver, sometimes you get that feeling that the album could've been cut down to a single disc to be better, and luckily this isn't the case. Everything is really strong, but I'd like to spend a couple words to admire nick Cave as a Vocalist: powerful tone, incredibly well controlled, and everything he says feels heartfelt. Such a good voice and a great way to use that gift.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Jan 18 2025

Exactly what I expected, cool album with an insane vibe in its simplicity. Bob Marley absolutely shines in there with incredible and entertaining performances. To try with weed. 3. 5

Jan 19 2025

Beatiful instrumentals and James brown's vocals performances are very good. The whole atmosphere made me feel like I was present at the live

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Jan 20 2025

Genre blending like nothing I've ever heard, apart from influences some songs on this album are genuinely of opposite genres. Lot of fun

...And Justice For All by Metallica
Jan 21 2025

Metallica is, with black Sabbath, the most accessible metal band for a new listener,vecause their music is not too extreme and they're well recognized all over the world as one of the biggest bands of all time. Despite having a lot of albums generally considered bad or divisive, like st. Anger, metallica is always mentioned in the top 4 of thrash metal , but why? The answer is obviously their first albums run. Some consider it a 5 albums run that ends with the black album, others leave it out because it's too poppy. However, it's indisputable that... And justice for all is part of these incredible albums run. The overrall sound of the album is fantastic, every song sounds very diverse while still maintaining a cohesion, and the balancing beetween vocals and more impressive solos is perfect. Despite every song being pretty long, not a single one sounds dragged on. This album contains some of the most loved Metallica songs, like One, but still manages to sound very good as a full experience. Not a 5 stars because it's not my favorite of theirs but every album of their first 4 albums run could be considered their besg and I wouldn't absolutely be mad at it.

The Rise & Fall by Madness
Jan 22 2025

Ton of fun. The album isn't very diverse but it works pretty well, expecially lived the instrumentals mixing pop and some jazzy influences, very unique

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Jan 24 2025

Very good psych rock. Consistent all the way through, great combination and palace of instrumentals and vocals. Weird out the wall, I love this.

Jan 25 2025

Despite being familiar with every other the Smiths lp (and even their first singles compilation Hathful of hollow) I had never listened to this album for some reasons. I'm glad I did now, because this is unexpected peak. The Smiths are a band I really like, even tho their sound didnt evolve much (which is fine since they've got 4 albums), but this feels different. Morrissey shines as usual and the instrumentals were, idk, very fuckin good. Solid with many highs and no lows.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jan 26 2025

The way this album mixes traditional Brazilian vocals with late 60s psych rock is just so mind blowing and weird to me, what a fascinating and beatiful album

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Jan 27 2025

The rolling stones is one of the most iconic rock bands of all time, and even tho they're considered more of a singles band than an album band, this album is amazing. Way more varied than I would have expected. Solid with some highs, expecially int he first half, but overrall amazing

The Poet by Bobby Womack
Jan 29 2025

Vibey, but the songs are all pretty similar and some drags on a bit too much, expecially towards the end

Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes
Jan 30 2025

Straight out the 80s,pretty good and vibey but not new enough dot this to be a 4 stars

Feb 01 2025

More songs about buildings and food is one of many great talking heads album, wich unfortunately gets overshadowed by the band's most acclaimed records. However I dont feel like this album is worth less than than their most popular records: unique, catchy and solid. Absolutely underrated

Ágætis Byrjun by Sigur Rós
Feb 02 2025

Post rock is a weird genre, at least from my experience. Its more about the emotion the music evokes than anything else, and sometimes it works very well. This album is no exception, it works very well as a complete experience, blending influences from different genres.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Feb 03 2025

Grew on me a lot on second listen, it's actually very weird and very good!

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Feb 05 2025

Great

Back In Black by AC/DC
Feb 08 2025

So many iconic songs and not as repetitive as people make it

My Generation by The Who
Feb 10 2025

Way more pop oriented than I expected, very Catchy but can become a bit repetitive

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Feb 12 2025

Not really my kind of music, found it pretty long and just bland, not even many memorable moments

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Feb 14 2025

Some interesting moments & cool songs, but also a lot of forgettable tracks, most of em tbh

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Feb 15 2025

What a voice goddamn

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Feb 17 2025

One of the Most surprising albums so far

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Feb 19 2025

The peak of that west coast g funk sound, it don't get better than this

Next by The Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Mar 06 2025
The Next Day by David Bowie

Music by Madonna
Apr 23 2025

Pretty Good but had higher expectations. She tries something new anyways and that's always appreciable

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Apr 25 2025

A bit of a step down from white blood cells and elephants, 2 albums I absolutely love, but there still is Jack White's genius all over this album so it's still good. It's definitely weirder than their others so it might have to grow on me but I still enjoyed it.

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 26 2025

Vol 4 might not even be my favorite of BS's incredible first 5 albums run with Ozzy as a vocalist, but damn it still bangs enough to get a 5 stars. Seeing the cult status that paranoid and Master of reality hold, you could Even call this album quite underrated. It was the first Black Sabbath album not produced by rodger brain and produced by the band itself, but it still perfectly holds up with its predecessors while sounding slightly different. Incredible album

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 27 2025

Wow this album is such a unique experience. Very eclectic, exploring many different genres from pop to funk to rap with influences from an even more varied roster of genres. It's well produced and executed, such a cinematic experience and her voice + mic presence are great.

Low-Life by New Order
Apr 28 2025

While I'm quite familiar with Joy Dovosion I had never listened to the band post Ian Curtis suicide before today, but Im super glad I did Now. This album is such an I credible vibe front to Back, peak new wave that just makes you want to move while still being sonically interesting and deep, very Atmospheric. Great discovery

Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 29 2025

Finally getting the right opportunity, after loving Wild God last year (and wow those albums are 21 years apart) to dig deeper into the large Nick Cave & the bad seeds' discography.

Such a good voice and a great way to use that gift.

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Apr 30 2025

I just got nothing out of this, went in one ear and out the other

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
May 02 2025

It's pretty good, but at times the laid back mood makes it lose its focus for me. Still pretty enjoyable overall

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
May 03 2025

Her voice is really good, and even more impressive since it's a live, but the whole thing is just really not my style. Still enjoyable

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
May 04 2025

Pretty underwhelming for being one of the Most acclaimed hip hop records omof all time, I was expecting a bit more

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 05 2025

At the beginning it left me a bit weirded, but damn this is a good album. Good old dirty swamp/blues rock, and a big part of this are the raw vocals, wich are still capable of building very catchy hooks and an overall enjoyable experience

Urban Hymns by The Verve
May 06 2025

Very vibey album, but it can become a bit repetitive. Some songs really standout, like the opener with that great melody, but I wouldn't generally say there are some really weak ones.

Red Dirt Girl by Emmylou Harris
May 07 2025

Her voice is really good, but once again this style of calm folk/singer songwriter just don't reasonate with me at all and I end up bored

May 08 2025

Pretty fun and vibey album but it drags on a good bit. It's still a decent listen, but if it was 35/40 minutes long instead of 56 it would've been much more enjoyable

Disintegration by The Cure
May 10 2025

I mean, it's disintegration...

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
May 11 2025

Nothing crazy aside the first track, mostly filler but still mad respect for what expecially thr frontman was doing in the 80s

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
May 13 2025

Love Iggy Pop, both his albums with the stooges and the first 2 of his solo career. Comoared to the more post pinkish solo debut this one's more straight up pank, packed with great performances and catchy songs.

Larks' Tongues In Aspic by King Crimson
May 14 2025

Calling this underrated would maybe be exaggerated, but I still think it deservesto be praised as much as the other 2 records, even if I slightly prefer Red

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
May 15 2025

I don't really get it

Fever Ray by Fever Ray
May 16 2025

Some really vibey moments as well as some that feels a bit empty. Overall enjoyable

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 17 2025
Haunted Dancehall by The Sabres Of Paradise
May 18 2025

While there are a couple of Interesting tunes here and there, most of it is boring as hell

Blood And Chocolate by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
May 19 2025

Ok I could see why people wouldn't like it after getting 15 Elvis records, but as my first album of his it was pretty good. Nothing crazy or innovative but enjoyable with a couple of standouts

Devotional Songs by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
May 23 2025

Just really not my thing

xx by The xx
May 24 2025

Very boring for me, but I see its appeal Edit:relistened at night and it's actually a pretty enjoyable album, I don't love it but it's decent at least

Be by Common
May 27 2025

One of my favorite hip hop albums ever, immaculate vibe and extremely solid in both production and performances

Moving Pictures by Rush
May 30 2025

Moving pictures is one of the first rock albums I ever listened to, and influenced my taste like few other albums did. I still love it today, even tho I think Rush got a better album, maybe 2

May 31 2025

ITCOTCK is a real masterpiece, but I don't love it as some others do. Sure it's a great album, but I think that Red and Larks are both better. Anyways it's still very enjoyable and a good time everytime I put it on

Jun 03 2025

Queen is nowhere near as good as their success make them to be, but I still love this akbum and think it's their best by far

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Jun 12 2025

Serviceable poppy hard rock. Not bad but lack some real hits to be something more than just decent.

Marquee Moon by Television
Jan 26 2026

Purple Rain by Prince
Jan 27 2026

First time hearing this and its going to need a couple more listens, but I get why it's considered that highly
