Popular Reviews

Franz Ferdinand

Franz Ferdinand · 1 likes

3/5

Ok. Better than other indie rock outings, but not interesting. Take Me Out is the most enjoyable track.

Private Dancer

Tina Turner · 1 likes

4/5

Resulted in me checking out her earlier stuff from Ike & Tina. Great vocalist all around.

Logical Progression

LTJ Bukem · 1 likes

4/5

I don't often go out of my way for drum n' bass, but when it finds me, I'm hooked. Highly recommend as a starting point for newbies, and the vocal mix helps as well. Also, the Spotify link is not the correct album (Logical Progession Level 1). The actual compilation is completely different. Just go find a link on Youtube instead. Copyright issues, I assume.

Pink Moon

5/5

Blows Metallica out of the water. Genuinely some of the tightest early 90s metal I've ever heard. And I can hear the lyrics!

Violator

Depeche Mode

4/5

Unknown Pleasures

Joy Division

4/5

Cold and almost heartless, but still offers plenty of variety and passion.

John Barleycorn Must Die

Traffic

5/5

One of my favorites so far. Scratches the Chicago itch. Short, but very sweet and very good.

Blonde On Blonde

Bob Dylan

3/5

I am not the biggest Bob Dylan fan. I do not like how he ends every single phrase on a dissonant note, or barely a note for that matter. Amazing instrumentals, however, and wonderful harmonica playing.

OK Computer

Radiohead

5/5

A classic. Heavenly choruses, and huge impact on the music industry as a whole.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

David Bowie but 90s. Very solid album.

The Bends

Radiohead

5/5

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

5/5

Great for any mood. Wonderful playing, all around solid. Could use a volume boost on a modern set of speakers.

Ramones

1/5

Not quite my tempo. 175bpm, to be exact.

Vulnicura

Björk

3/5

A difficult listen at times, but I respect the vision. May revisit one day and give it another shot

Exile On Main Street

The Rolling Stones

5/5

Didn't expect this to be as good as it was. A very pleasant surprise.

Nilsson Schmilsson

Harry Nilsson

2/5

Good singing, but not much else. Today was not my day.

Dog Man Star

Suede

5/5

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Will check out the rest of their stuff

Devil Without A Cause

Kid Rock

I can't bear to say that I enjoyed this one anymore.

Surprisingly good. Edited? Probably. Still some good songs that I did know this band had under their belt. Also, those dual lead guitars are just killer.

1/5

Leave this album in the middle ages where it belongs. Leave the peasants some acid, too. Maybe they'll enjoy it.

Exit Planet Dust

The Chemical Brothers

4/5

Not the most exciting Electronica, but still enjoyable enough to give it a second listen.

All Things Must Pass

George Harrison

4/5

Another good folk rock album. Ending your album with 23 minutes of jam session is quite bold.

Back In Black

AC/DC

2/5

Painfully bland but somehow still enjoyable. 2/5 stars for using the same drumbeat on the entire runtime of the album.

Toys In The Attic

Aerosmith

3/5

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

Toys in the Attic was better. Still a good album in its own right.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

4/5

Strong side A, weaker side B. Solid all around.

The Modern Lovers

1/5

Is there a reason for this album to be on here other than the fact that John Cale produced it? Just go listen to VU. Better use of your time and you won't have to listen to the nightmare that is Pablo Picasso.

Freak Out!

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5

Satire finally done right. Music actually serves the lyrics and isn't an incoherent or boring nightmare. Chaotic on purpose, and not just for the sake of chaos.

In The Court Of The Crimson King

King Crimson

3/5

It took me years to figure out why I don't enjoy this album, and it finally hit me today: the drummer sucks. Granted, when you make a drummer sit through 12 minute tracks, he's bound to get bored and start playing some stupid shit. Every fill he plays is somehow worse than the last, none of them serving the music or making sense stylistically. My favorite tracks are the ones where he does not play or is not featured. Also, please adjust the mic for the snare or tell him to tune it. It sounds like a wet fish being slapped against a table. If they got a different drummer for this album, I'd give it another shot. Everything on top of the drums is entertaining and sometimes enjoyable, but hard to truly appreciate when I am constantly being distracted every four bars.

The Wildest!

Louis Prima

4/5

Blistering jump charts with plenty of charm. Surprised by the complete lack of information on this album. Louis Prima was quite the character though.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

2/5

I've forgotten every second of this album. And Pop, which I turned on the second I finished this one.

I'm Your Man

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Spoken lyrics and lazy production: my favorite! Maybe if half of this album wasn't played on a Yamaha keyboard I might actually enjoy it

Revolver

Beatles

5/5

I was a hater, but I was a blind hater. Hearing the first few minutes of Taxman was enough for me to change my ways. A very impressive album that uses the studio as an instrument for the first time, allowing infinite possibilities.

All Directions

The Temptations

4/5

Not essential, but solid.

The Sensual World

Kate Bush

2/5

Arise

Sepultura

5/5

Blows Metallica out of the water. Genuinely some of the tightest early 90s metal I've ever heard. And I can hear the lyrics!

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

5/5

I've spent many hours trying to hit the high notes on Reasons, and I always have fun doing it. Truly one of the best soul/funk albums ever released. It's criminal that this album is their only inclusion on this list. I Am should be on here too.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

2/5

Horrible album for retail workers. Listening to this album feels like your coworker had an extra ticket to this concert and you had nothing better to do. Almost fell asleep.

Harvest

Neil Young

3/5

It's good, but just has some strange decisions. Why did you bring in a symphony for two tracks? Why did you throw in one live track and not either cut or fade out the clapping? Hard to listen to as a collective album, but not bad as individual songs. I'm sure my rating on this album will improve as I listen to the six other Neil Young albums on this baffling list.

Hounds Of Love

Kate Bush

3/5

Better than Sensual World, but still not something I'd come back to. Experimental pop is a difficult genre.

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

5/5

I would see this movie

Maxinquaye

Tricky

3/5

Consider turning up the vocals. Otherwise, a great trance-like experience like no other hip-hop album. Might be better with Genius open on a separate monitor.

Bert Jansch

5/5

Arguably more enjoyable than Nick Drake. Wonderfully complex playing and beautiful singing.

1999

Prince

4/5

Perhaps a little too sexy at time. Still some of the best drum machine and synth work to ever come out of the 80s. That snare is to die for.

The Dreaming

Kate Bush

2/5

It's over. I don't have to listen to any more Kate Bush ever again. Considering adding more enjoyable female artists to this list. Experimental doesn't always mean influential.

Fisherman's Blues

The Waterboys

4/5

A surprisingly good romp. Very confident in every decision it makes.

If I Should Fall From Grace With God

The Pogues

3/5

I've had enough Irish rock for one week

Live 1966 (The Royal Albert Hall Concert)

Bob Dylan

3/5

Great story behind this one. Helped me realize that I'm actually a fan of Dylan, but only whenever there's a band behind him drowning out his awful voice. I should just listen to The Band, huh?

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

Spending more time with this one will easily bump it up to a 5.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen

4/5

Takes a couple listens to enjoy. Also knowing Damon Albern is in this band helps.

Time Out

The Dave Brubeck Quartet

5/5

One of the best albums ever recorded. Mixed and compound meter aside, everyone on here plays like they live in 5 and 7. Beautiful playing from Desmond, Morello's fills and drum solos are to die for, and Brubeck knows exactly what works and when. A master class of jazz, song composition, soloing, all of the above.

You Want It Darker

Leonard Cohen

2/5

Still poetry over music. Just mesh the two and maybe I'll give a shit. Probably my favorite Cohen release, but the bar was never high.

Django Django

4/5

Disintegration

The Cure

3/5

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

4/5

Requires two listens to fully enjoy. Broadway musical feel with some great lyrics and orchestration.

Doolittle

Pixies

4/5

McCartney

Paul McCartney

2/5

Congrats on taking "solo album" as seriously as possible. Maybe finish a couple songs before releasing this half-baked Beatles out-take collection.

Out Of The Blue

Electric Light Orchestra

4/5

A blast.

Only By The Night

Badly Drawn Boy

3/5

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

3/5

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

1/5

If you take 2 steps back from the microphone, the harmonica might actually be enjoyable.

Countdown To Ecstasy

Steely Dan

4/5

An important stepping stone for the band, offering some great, but often forgotten tracks. Razor Boy probably gets stuck in my head once a week, My Old School a close second. Bodhisattva? Stuck on loop.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Certainly ahead of its time. Great album, amazing guitar tone.

Nixon

Lambchop

4/5

Shockingly timeless. You could have told me this just released and I would have believed you.

Heroes

David Bowie

3/5

Not as good as I had hoped. Hopefully his most underwhelming release.

The Lexicon Of Love

ABC

3/5

Does every British pop artist sing like David Bowie?

The Sun Rises In The East

Jeru The Damaja

4/5

Music for the Masses

Depeche Mode

4/5

Not nearly as compelling as Violator, but still a really good time. The deluxe edition tracks really threw me for a loop. A cover of Route 66? Moonlight Sonata?

Black Monk Time

The Monks

4/5

Oh, how I wish you were actually on Spotify. Maybe one day I'll find a pressing out in the wild.

Foxbase Alpha

Saint Etienne

4/5

Long interludes don't belong in house music. Otherwise, very nice.

Hejira

Joni Mitchell

5/5

Heavenly. That bass tone makes me feel things.

Franz Ferdinand

3/5

Ok. Better than other indie rock outings, but not interesting. Take Me Out is the most enjoyable track.

Odessey And Oracle

The Zombies

3/5

The Beatles came back from the dead and sounded surprisingly more competent than before! Just another British rock album, but a bit more polish than the others. Doesn't save it from mediocrity.

The Grand Tour

George Jones

3/5

good kid, m.A.A.d city

Kendrick Lamar

5/5

Dear author, please reconsider your actions of removing this from the 2018 version of the book. You only kept TPAB in because of the critical acclaim it sees from every RYM user, and DAMN is nowhere to be seen. The level of disrespect on one of the most popular and influential rappers of this generation, just crazy.

Truth

Jeff Beck

2/5

What a mid-ass waste of time. Didn't even finish it.

Screamadelica

Primal Scream

4/5

Graceland

Paul Simon

3/5

Probably better at the time. You Can Call Me Al might be one of my least favorite retail songs ever created, not helping my enjoyment of this one.

The Stone Roses

4/5

Surprisingly good. I'll definitely give it a couple more listens in the future.

Kenza

Khaled

3/5

Sex Packets

Digital Underground

3/5

Don't know if I can ever come back to this one, but I had a good time. Title track was surprisingly fun, and should not have been the second to last track.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

David Bowie

3/5

I want to like David Bowie but it's hard for some reason. Hopefully I can bump this one up to 4 stars in the future once I'm actually able to enjoy it.

Horses

Patti Smith

2/5

Please wake me up when someone makes the combination of poetry and music even just a little bearable.

Aja

Steely Dan

5/5

Listen to this front to back on literally any pressing and your life will change. Amazing clarity, incredible arrangements, just perfect. Home At Last and I Got The News deserve more love.

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

A very refreshing album for the 90s rap scene. Feels very modern and classic all the same.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Last two tracks can't live up to the star power of everything that comes before it. Still amazing, absolutely timeless.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré

4/5

A good mix of western blues/rock and traditional African sounds. Surprisingly enjoyable.

Tapestry

Carole King

3/5

Good, but a little too soft and too easy of listening. Not much power can be felt behind any of the music. Not sure if a better mix would fix anything, but maybe.

Sound of Silver

LCD Soundsystem

3/5

Private Dancer

Tina Turner

4/5

Resulted in me checking out her earlier stuff from Ike & Tina. Great vocalist all around.

Apocalypse Dudes

Turbonegro

4/5

The most fun you can have with a punk album by a long shot.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs

Derek & The Dominos

4/5

A little long at time, especially considering Clapton wanted to get away from long guitar solos. Doesn't mean it's not good.

Bossanova

Pixies

3/5

Good, but does not deserve a spot on this list. Barely influential with very few standout tracks.

White Ladder

David Gray

2/5

Have you ever wanted a singer/songwriter to set his lyrics over drum loops and randomly pick which audio quality he's going to output his master at? If so, this is the album for you!

The Scream

Siouxsie And The Banshees

3/5

Influential. Not totally worth returning to.

Iron Maiden

3/5

Pretty good for its time, honestly. I can understand why they weren't too happy with this one later on. Ballads are honestly my favorite part outside of the harmonizing guitars.

The Who Sell Out

The Who

2/5

Do NOT listen to the expanded edition. There is no reason to listen to this for more than your required 32 minutes.

Pyromania

Def Leppard

4/5

Phrenology

The Roots

4/5

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

3/5

A collection of attempts at charting singles. Two succeeded, and they're just ok. Still decent.

Home Is Where The Music Is

Hugh Masekela

5/5

This is what jazz should be. All of the time. Forever.

Calenture

The Triffids

2/5

Booring. Sounds like someone threw the lead singer of Tears for Fears into an uninspired 90s rock album.

Crime Of The Century

Supertramp

5/5

Innocent!

Let England Shake

PJ Harvey

3/5

Too many mentions of England. Sorry, bloke. Not my album.

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

Surf's Up

The Beach Boys

L.A. Woman

4/5

Good stuff.

Peggy Suicide

Julian Cope

4/5

Surprised. I didn't know you actually had a decent British rock album in here.

Beauty And The Beat

The Go-Go's

3/5

If you've heard We Got The Beat, you've basically heard the entire album. Not returning.

Rust Never Sleeps

Neil Young & Crazy Horse

4/5

I would give this an album a 3.5/5 if this site let me. Very solid. Electric set goes crazy.

Quiet Life

Japan

4/5

I also would give this an album a 3.5/5 if this site let me. Very solid.

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

2/5

What a read. Not a listen.

Queen II

Queen

3/5

Tracy Chapman

4/5

The single best singer/songwriter album. No debate. Doesn't get better after this.

Happy Trails

Quicksilver Messenger Service

4/5

Read up on this one. Very good once you do.

Face to Face

The Kinks

4/5

Wait, baroque pop can be good?

Highway to Hell

AC/DC

2/5

Boring, but better than Back in Black.

Metallica

4/5

I didn't know it was possible for there to be a good Metallica album. Mixed well, actually enjoyable. Lars is still the most boring drummer on the planet, but maybe less is more.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

4/5

Miriam Makeba

4/5

Bookends

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

A cup of green tea. I don't necessarily hate it, and sometimes I enjoy it. I prefer sweet tea, and could never hate on those who like green tea. It's healthier anyways.

Innervisions

Stevie Wonder

5/5

Up there for new personal favorite from Stevie. Too High honestly takes the cake.

Vento De Maio

Elis Regina

4/5

Banger album. Just look up Elis (1980) and you'll find what you're looking for. Unless you're on Spotify, the expanded version seems to have released in 2002.

Birth Of The Cool

Miles Davis

5/5

Queen Of Denmark

John Grant

4/5

Strange, but good. Lyrics are batshit crazy sometimes but you always get what he's trying to say.

O.G. Original Gangster

Ice T

3/5

Arular

4/5

Funeral

Arcade Fire

2/5

Had to look up the definition of milquetoast for this one.

Microshift

Hookworms

4/5

You gotta do this one in one sitting.

Dire Straits

5/5

Leagues better than Brothers in Arms. Not sorry whatsoever.

Fleet Foxes

4/5

Good folk? How?

Are You Experienced

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

Mitch Mitchell my goat

S.F. Sorrow

The Pretty Things

3/5

Glad we stopped stereo panning VOCALS TO THE RIGHT CHANNEL

The Atomic Mr Basie

Count Basie & His Orchestra

5/5

It's truly criminal that this is the only Basie album on this whole list. No April In Paris? No This Time By Basie? No Straight Ahead? Psychotic.

The Yes Album

Yes

4/5

What progressive rock from this period should be. Thank you for being the band that you are.

Led Zeppelin IV

Led Zeppelin

4/5

Black Dog is up there for one of my favorite songs ever. Stairway to Heaven is alright.

Elephant

The White Stripes

2/5

Boring as hell. I could die happy if I never had to hear Seven Nation ever again.

Hot Fuss

The Killers

4/5

Why the hell would you remove this from the list? For what? Django Django? Is that seriously better than this?

Imperial Bedroom

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

4/5

Good new wave? No way! Possibly the cleanest sounding 80s album so far, loving the lack of reverb and clear vocals.

Treasure

Cocteau Twins

3/5

Don't think I'll return, but good.

Smile

Brian Wilson

4/5

Wonderful. To emulate the sound of the Beach Boys so well nearly 40 years later? Wonderful.

Oracular Spectacular

MGMT

4/5

Kind of album you would Shazam at Kohl's and then forget about. Doesn't mean it isn't good.

The xx

3/5

You're such a loser for keeping this album on the list yet dumping MGMT and The Killers. English punk rock must have sucked you dry. Still good, arguably the best post-punk on here.

Achtung Baby

4/5

The best U2 will ever get. Bar was never high.

Born To Run

Bruce Springsteen

3/5

Most bearable Springsteen album. It will not get better than this.

Electric

The Cult

2/5

"We have AC/DC in England," they said.

Black Sabbath

5/5

Tell me this generator isn't randomized.

2112

Rush

4/5

The 2112 suite is the star of the show here. They truly dipped their toe into progressive rock, and were greatly rewarded. The B side is nothing to scoff at, boasting some perfectly enjoyable radio-friendly hits.

At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

5/5

One of the best live albums on the planet. Brought a smile to my face every time the audience cheered; applause straight from the heart.

Foo Fighters

3/5

It's a strange feeling to know that Grohl played everything on here. It takes away all of the power behind any one instrument, or even his voice. Knowing this doesn't make the album worse, but it makes it a weird experience.

We're Only In It For The Money

The Mothers Of Invention

4/5

The original shitposters. Love this one.

In Utero

Nirvana

3/5

Not as good as Nevermind. Still decent.

Garbage

4/5

Third Nirvana-adjacent album this week, and likely the best. Big fan of the sound on this one, and Manson's vocals really bring it all together.

Rhythm Nation 1814

Janet Jackson

4/5

Would you just combine the interludes into the previous track

Gentlemen

The Afghan Whigs

4/5

Some of the best sounding alt-rock to grace this planet. Lyrics are kinda goofy at times but they're still really good. Might return.

C'est Chic

CHIC

4/5

Beggars Banquet

The Rolling Stones

3/5

It gets better.

Butterfly

Mariah Carey

4/5

Very solid. Some of the most polished and confident R&B of the late century, and possibly 2000s.

Bringing It All Back Home

Bob Dylan

2/5

Boring as shit. Better than other releases from this time (mainly because he finally chooses to sing on beat) but that doesn't save it from being forgettable slop. Mr. Tambourine Man has to be the dumbest concept of a song ever.

Disraeli Gears

Cream

4/5

Eric Clapton! Again!

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

They've once again proven why I shouldn't hate them

One World

John Martyn

5/5

Holy shit

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

4/5

Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and country classics all had a beautiful child.

Synchronicity

The Police

5/5

Undeniably awesome. Mother is the most difficult track, but easily the most cerebral.

Purple Rain

Prince

4/5

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

Listen to it twice, and you'll like it more.
