Popular Reviews

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys

This guy smokes a lot of cigarettes, looks like someone from Smashmouth, and would beat their wife if they could ever get one. This is bad

Dear Science by TV On The Radio

This is the most meh albums I’ve listened to yet. It doesn’t make me happy, mad, annoyed, excited, tired, or anything else really. I really have no idea as to why this is on the list but The Colour and The Shape isn’t. (2)

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (212)

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Feb 07 2025

This is exactly what I imagine the 80s sounded like

Document by R.E.M.
Feb 09 2025

If yesterday’s album was a 3.1, this is a 3.9. Almost a 4 but their voice just doesn’t do it for me

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Feb 11 2025

This sounds like phineas and ferb (2). It’s fine, I’d get why someone would like it, but I think it’s not good

Back In Black by AC/DC
Feb 12 2025

I mean, yeah it’s AC/DC. I dont love the vocals, but they’re iconic enough for me to ignore it. I feel like a frat boy but it does fuck

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Feb 13 2025

Hippy dippy. I get it, definitely just not for me (2)

Feb 14 2025

Oh my god please talk to a woman you aren’t trying to have sex with. (2)

Feb 16 2025

I understand the significance, but it just doesn’t sound good. Just because it’s one of the first in a genre doesn’t mean it has to be bad. (1)

Konnichiwa by Skepta
Feb 17 2025

Grime. There’s definitely a cultural difference between uk and us rap, but overall I didn’t hate it. Some of it is cringe, some of it bangs

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Feb 19 2025

It’s good, but idk. I think the increase in production over time hurts them, but that’s not their fault (3)

Homework by Daft Punk
Feb 20 2025

Their other albums are better, but this is still pretty good (3)

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Feb 21 2025

It’s just hard to rate because it’s so old. I’m sure at the time it would’ve been a 5, but time knocks it down

Spiderland by Slint
Feb 24 2025

Take the lyrics out, and this album rips (3)

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 25 2025

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes (5)

Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves
Feb 27 2025

I normally hate pop country, but this is awesome (probably bc it’s so many other genres as well) (5)

Want Two by Rufus Wainwright
Feb 28 2025
Revolver by Beatles
Mar 02 2025

Not their best album, but it has yellow submarine so

NEU! 75 by Neu!
Mar 03 2025

The start was really calming, but the songs with lyrics were not it (3)

Mar 06 2025

I mean, the title is apt. But good lord maybe make a song about your day or something idk. Some of the songs are awesome but some are god awful. (2) Scale for future: 1 - turn this off now 2 - will groan if it comes on 3 - no problems, I wouldn’t play it but I don’t mind hearing it 4 - pretty good, I may even play it 5 - bangers

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Mar 10 2025

Maybe it was cool at the time, maybe it’s influential, but there’s a kid in Brazil who can make all of these in 30 seconds. It’s okay (2/3)

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Mar 11 2025

The first depressed woman in music (4)

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Mar 12 2025

Wow the first 3 songs are bad. Next 3 are much better. Headache was a bit overhyped, not too bad tho. I like the Pixies, so I’m surprised I don’t like this that much (3)

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Mar 16 2025

The lyrics aren’t good, but I heard how it would influence certain genres later. (3)0

Nick Of Time by Bonnie Raitt
Mar 17 2025

Just good 80s music, nothing crazy

Here's Little Richard by Little Richard
Mar 20 2025

Just good 50s music. idk if it’s the genre or the time, but a lot of the songs sound similar

Armed Forces by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Mar 21 2025

I just don’t think it’s that good

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 22 2025

I thought I was gonna laugh more than I actually liked it. I didn’t expect it to actually be good

Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Mar 23 2025

Not normally a fan of country/acoustic music, but this was really good

Phaedra by Tangerine Dream
Mar 24 2025

Too much with the drugs

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Mar 25 2025

More drugs but at least there’s words

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Mar 26 2025

This is Carlos hacky sack music, but I think rap that sounds like this is wack (2)

Dear Science by TV On The Radio
Mar 28 2025

This is the most meh albums I’ve listened to yet. It doesn’t make me happy, mad, annoyed, excited, tired, or anything else really. I really have no idea as to why this is on the list but The Colour and The Shape isn’t. (2)

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Mar 29 2025

This is the best surprise yet, this is awesome (4)

LP1 by FKA twigs
Mar 31 2025

Idk why so many people on here hate on this. It’s not her best album, but it’s still good

Imagine by John Lennon
Apr 01 2025

Just alright

Heroes to Zeros by The Beta Band
Apr 04 2025

What I don’t understand is this: why is this album on this list. It’s a slightly below average album with little to no cultural significance. You’d be lying if you told me there was not another better album it could be replaced with. Also Troubles is a worse attempt at world peace than the COVID Imagine video.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Apr 05 2025

I think I don’t like Radiohead. I don’t really understand why they’re so hyped. Sonically, it’s pretty good, but the vocals sound whiny and, at least on this album, the lyrics aren’t as provoking as they think they are

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Apr 06 2025

A really pleasant surprise

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Apr 09 2025
Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 10 2025

Too much with the harmonica for me. The music is good, but it has a sound that I don’t like for more than 2 songs. 3/2

Murmur by R.E.M.
Apr 12 2025
25 by Adele
Apr 13 2025
Risque by CHIC
Apr 14 2025

I mean, it’s disco. It’s certainly not my favorite genre of music, and there are definitely songs that drag on for too long, but it’s still a pretty good album. Also Will You Cry is the best song. 3.5

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Apr 15 2025

This is a little hard to rate. The music itself is amazing, but I don’t speak Portuguese. 4 (5 if I could understand the lyrics)

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Apr 16 2025
Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Apr 18 2025

It’s just an average indie rock album. Even people who knew of this album where surprised it was here. Was a three but stayed way too long

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Apr 26 2025

Found out they wrote “Changes,” so that was cool

Yeezus by Kanye West
Apr 28 2025
Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Apr 30 2025

Ya know what, today IS the greatest day

B-52's by The B-52's
May 04 2025
En-Tact by The Shamen
May 05 2025
Pornography by The Cure
May 06 2025

This album isn’t sad or depressing or dark, it’s just a grown British man whining the word “died” a bunch

Disintegration by The Cure
May 10 2025

I don’t like The Cure, but this is a good album

Bummed by Happy Mondays
May 15 2025

1.5, I do not like this vibe or type of person

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
May 21 2025
Hejira by Joni Mitchell
May 22 2025
Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 26 2025
Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
May 28 2025

Time hasn't been too kind to albums in this genre. The flows are very similar throughout and across songs, and that causes a lot of songs to stay too long and kind of melt together. Good album when it came out (probably), but doesn't hold imo. High 2 - Low 3

Guero by Beck
Jun 01 2025
Jun 06 2025

Unlike others, I do think this album should be on here, as it is influential as a genre/type of music. Relaxing but a little boring

So by Peter Gabriel
Jun 15 2025
Live! by Fela Kuti
Jun 24 2025
Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 28 2025
Illinois by Sufjan Stevens
Jul 08 2025
Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jul 11 2025

really a 4 but i don't speak Portuguese

Be by Common
Jul 16 2025
The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
Jul 20 2025

Maybe it's b/c I've gotten a lot of live jazz albums recently, but I'm starting to get real sick of it

Venus Luxure No. 1 Baby by Girls Against Boys
Jul 28 2025

This guy smokes a lot of cigarettes, looks like someone from Smashmouth, and would beat their wife if they could ever get one. This is bad

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Aug 05 2025

3.5

1984 by Van Halen
Aug 06 2025
Scum by Napalm Death
Aug 07 2025

The vocals sound like when you're fighting a big dumb monster and it's mad that you're trying to choke him but you're hanging from its neck so it can't reach back and grab you and it's really annoyed so it's just trying to shake you off really hard

Elephant by The White Stripes
Aug 11 2025
Damaged by Black Flag
Aug 13 2025
Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 15 2025

2.9 // poorly mixed, grungy, rage-y towards the end

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Aug 16 2025

3 // "if i could make a deal with god" song that was on tiktok, spacey "pop"? Think 80s, think trying too hard to be deep. Sounds good tho

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Aug 17 2025

3 // Senegalese artist, pretty relaxing. Yes, repetitive, but I didn't mind

Faust IV by Faust
Aug 18 2025

2.9 // weird space-y sounds a lot of the time, some songs drag out a while, weird but not too much where it's hurting the music

Urban Hymns by The Verve
Aug 19 2025

3 // brit pop, fun, definitely not bad, but didn't really do anything for me

Aug 21 2025

2 // some true butt rock. this smells like sweat, in just the worst way. worst part about it: can't truly it's terrible, it's definitely iconic.

Real Life by Magazine
Aug 22 2025

2.9 // punk, but sometimes sounded like clown - carnival music. weird, but honestly didn't hate it

2112 by Rush
Aug 23 2025

3 // I mean, it's Rush. Not the most popular songs, it's just kinda okay for me

High Violet by The National
Aug 24 2025

2 // Very 2010s rock album. It sounds exactly like what you'd expect from an album with this cover. To me, this is nothing music

Reign In Blood by Slayer
Aug 25 2025

2 // death/heavy metal. hasn't completely lost the plot with noise, but still disjointed enough to be hard to listen to

Diamond Life by Sade
Aug 26 2025

3 // poppy r&b from the 80s. exactly what you'd think that'd sound like. catchy and fun, but nothing crazy

Moondance by Van Morrison
Aug 27 2025

3.9 // I mean, it's a Van Morrison album. Folk-y and nice/calm. Doesn't blow you away but pretty good

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Aug 28 2025

2.8 // The songs are pretty repetitive, but that's for a reflection of the era the album comes from. 90s R&B, sounds great to just listen to, but nothing much there imo

Tago Mago by Can
Aug 29 2025

2.1 // Exactly what you'd expect from an experimental, mostly psychedelic, early 70s album. Wasn't completely unlistenable, but some songs were really bad

Aug 30 2025

4.1 // Very calm songs, some are bangers. Soft indie rock music

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Aug 31 2025

3.8 // Indian instrumental music. I can absolutely see how this influenced The Beatles and others. Once you hear this you understand how those groups thought to experiment with their instruments a little more. That being said, the music itself is relaxing, but doesn't hit me extremely hard. It, of no fault of its own, suffers from being from a culture different from one I know, so I can't connect with it enough to give it a higher score.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Sep 01 2025

2.6 // This is music Carlos would listen to while playing hacky sack. 90s British dance?/electronic music. It isn't bad, but does it need to be on this list? Eh, probably not

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Sep 02 2025

2.4 // I don't use this word often or lightly, but this is cringe. I see how people like it, but that does not mean I like it. It isn't nice, but I do think a little lesser of the person who loves this album. Objectively, it isn't terrible, but I do not like it. It should, sadly, be on this list, however. I do (and I'm not sure if it is ironic or not) like how the "crawling in my skin" line sounds. Maybe it's the COD nostalgia.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Sep 06 2025

4.2 // Rush is technically rock, but the music is too unapproachable on a technical level for me to call it rock. That's not to say it's bad; it's more of a clinic in how to drum, how to play bass, and how to sing.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Sep 13 2025

4.1 // In the 70s, punk was kind of just pop. And that’s awesome here. Very fun songs, and a couple classics. Iggy’s gonna Iggy

evermore by Taylor Swift
Dec 04 2025

4.6 // pretty good

Berlin by Lou Reed
Dec 19 2025

4.1 // Love a bit of Lou Reed. Rock opera-esqe concept album of a dysfunctional couple, pretty good
