Popular Reviews

Some songs were okay but overall just dragged way too much. Lot of decent ideas that seemed to be executed poorly

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis

This was fine but it was 22 minutes so not sure what’s going on spotify. Great energy but just gonna go 2 stars since it could’ve been much better.

1-Star Albums (5)

All Ratings (113)

Disintegration by The Cure
Mar 10 2025

Not my typical cup of tea but not unenjoyable. Some cool stuff going on but overall not a huge fan of the Cure so meh

Nevermind by Nirvana
Mar 11 2025

It’s not bad just wildly overrated. Enough good songs to be a good album but not close to the best of its genre as some people say it is.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Mar 12 2025

Good album, though i do not think i am the target audience. Not a ton of standalone great songs but still enjoyable.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Mar 13 2025

Hilarious that they took a break in the late 70s, discovered synth in Europe and then dropped this beautiful album. Wanted to give it 5 but back half a tad weak

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Mar 14 2025

I like how different the two sides are but they still work together. Love some Ray

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Mar 15 2025

The henry fonda guy said “don’t mind the lyric sheets it’s chill” then she didn’t even know the lyrics cmon now

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Mar 16 2025

Plain white bread of music

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 17 2025

i like crazy horse but neil young is meh. also, i used to think (yesterday) that crazy horse was just a native dude that neil young liked to collab with

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 18 2025

i have never really liked any talking heads songs i've heard so this was a pleasant surprise. cool vibe and mostly good songs (song about buildings was ass)

Hotel California by Eagles
Mar 19 2025

Nothing groundbreaking but they are the best at what the do. And this is their best

The United States Of America by The United States Of America
Mar 20 2025

It's like they made a full album out of the ending part of A Day in the Life

Mar 21 2025

Drummer can’t drum the bass player can’t play the guitar player has one riff. The singer is this utter buffoon. But this album had it’s moments

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Mar 22 2025

Jolliest album cover I’ve ever seen

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 23 2025

Some okay songs and cool vocal stuff but not a pleasant listen

Skylarking by XTC
Mar 24 2025

I like to imagine someone has used that “it’s your big day” song in their wedding

Mar 25 2025

5 stars for production quality + execution of concept. Not my favourite tracks listed but still great

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Mar 26 2025

I’m always shocked that this came out in the 80s. timeless and very solid all around

Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys
Mar 28 2025

Not terrible just a bit repetitive for me

Immigrés by Youssou N'Dour
Mar 30 2025

Cool vibes and not something I’d ever listen to normally

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Apr 01 2025

never listened to this all the way through. much better all around than i expected. very very relistenable

Ctrl by SZA
Apr 02 2025

I don’t think anyone needs to say pussy that much

Pelican West by Haircut 100
Apr 03 2025

First three songs were insane but the novelty kinda wore off after that. Still crazy rhythm guitar work

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 05 2025

I like when he takes requests. Very fun on the mic and everything sounds great recording wise (except June)

Truth by Jeff Beck
Apr 06 2025

I was going to say “wow Jeff beck sounds a lot like rod stewart.” Lo and behold. You learn something new every day.

Coat Of Many Colors by Dolly Parton
Apr 07 2025

there was way more to this than i expected. obviously some straight forward classic country but some cool basslines and stuff like that too

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
Apr 09 2025

her voice kinda sucks. hate to say it because all the drugs and homelessness that cam before this but im just keeping it 💯. Why'd You Do It was a fitting closer to the album (it sucked)

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Apr 10 2025

The first song is so dumb. Very funny band because they brag about not doing drugs or anything and then the next line is like “I will stomp out a pimp”

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Apr 12 2025

Didn’t expect to like this but I listened to it while studying so maybe that helped its case. Got kinda bored of it by last few songs but im feeling generous

All Directions by The Temptations
Apr 13 2025

Didn’t know they sounded like this. Best part of the album: instrumental bits in papa was a rolling stone. Felt like i was in a 70s spy movie. Worst part of the album: 2nd song (i think I am too white to listen to this)

Suede by Suede
Apr 14 2025

Not a huge fan of his voice but it works. Really liked everything else which surprised me a lil bit. Would be 4 star w more likable voice

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Apr 15 2025

Good classic rock. Some parts were a little basic 70s rock to give it really high marks but a good album

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Apr 16 2025

Weird but cool vibe I guess. Gives me 30 rock Tracy Morgan vibes

Clandestino by Manu Chao
Apr 17 2025

Partially listened to in Barcelona. Maybe the vibes added an extra star

Palo Congo by Sabu
Apr 18 2025

You get the gist of it pretty quickly

The Sun Rises In The East by Jeru The Damaja
Apr 21 2025

I’ve been pleasantly surprised a lot lately. So east coast its almost comical. Lot of different flows and most of the beats are pretty good

Sea Change by Beck
Apr 22 2025

Kinda Radiohead-y but minus the interesting musicianship. Way too sad for lawn mowing

The Scream by Siouxsie And The Banshees
Apr 23 2025

Liked the first few songs but it was a bit too much after like 3

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Apr 24 2025

This was like Smooth by santana but mixed with linkin park. It was kinda shitty but somehow I liked it

Revolver by Beatles
Apr 25 2025

Better than I remember. For no one the best on the album. Also ringo must’ve been on more than acid wtf is yellow submarine

Tommy by The Who
Apr 26 2025

Not as good as i expected. Too many weird fuck songs and not enough pinball

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Apr 27 2025

I'm with peytie the Girl is Mine is the greatest song of all time

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Apr 28 2025

Nothing crazy going on here but solid enough. Not my genre really so 3 stars

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Apr 29 2025

Better than all the other 3 star albums but just fell short of expectations. Consider it a 3.5

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
May 01 2025

Pretty basic whatever this genre is. Not a huge fan

There's A Riot Goin' On by Sly & The Family Stone
May 02 2025

Nothing crazy. Didn’t love some of the weird bits

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
May 03 2025

Thought this was gonna be another album where I think “okay but not my genre.” The first 3 songs on this are insane. Loved it. If it was a bit longer with the same quality it would be 5

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
May 04 2025

Surprisingly good for lawn mowing

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
May 05 2025

Very Tommy-esque (derogatory). Last song was a banger tho

London Calling by The Clash
May 06 2025

Expected sex pistols part 2. It was not that.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
May 07 2025

Imagine the backyardigans grew up to be the most annoying women at a family bbq

May 09 2025

Today i learned queen is kinda mid. Couple standouts but a lot of meh

2112 by Rush
May 10 2025

Imagine they used their powers for good (hair metal) rather than the forces of evil (prog rock)

Step In The Arena by Gang Starr
May 11 2025

Totally acceptable 90s rap album. Some songs were pretty good (lovesick in particular) but a lot of the lyrics were kinda juvenile/sloppy. “[School subjects] have a purpose. Genocide makes me nervous” like what

Abbey Road by Beatles
May 13 2025

Maxwells silver hammer inexplicably holds a special place in my heart. Whole album is nearly perfect. One of their best

Rubber Soul by Beatles
May 14 2025

Little bit of everything with this one. Some rock, country, folk, happy stuff, sad ones, and even a little bit of acid. Some of their best stuff

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
May 15 2025

Couple decent upbeat songs but too much depressing bs

The Nightfly by Donald Fagen
May 16 2025

First impression: bit of a joe Walsh vibe Second thought: definitely a j geils band typa thing going on Third thought: wait this sounds like steely dan. I think this is steely dan guy. And it was steely dan guy

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
May 17 2025

Only knew the passenger but lots to like on this album. Somehow ahead of its time (in a strokes-y way) and super duper 70s. Big fan.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
May 18 2025

Way better than expected. Not the typical csny forgettable bs. Some variety and lot of good tunes

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
May 20 2025

First time ever taking time to listen to jack white. A lot more variety than I was expecting. Exceeded expectations a lot.

Private Dancer by Tina Turner
May 21 2025

Was hovering somewhere between 3-4 but I accidentally listened to some of the extended edition I’ll give it the benefit of the doubt. Better be good to me >>>>

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
May 22 2025

Maybe I’m just feeling really generous today but this was really cool. Enjoyed almost all of it but some parts dragged quite a bit

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
May 23 2025

One of the greatest metal albums ever. Only a few average songs and everything else is masterful. Children of the damned so underrated and hallowed be thy name is maidens magnum opus

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
May 24 2025

Wild horses is sooooooo good but everything else is just ok. Very underwhelmed.

Rings Around The World by Super Furry Animals
May 25 2025

Somewhere between 1-2 stars. Only thing making this cohesive is the annoying ness. Not a fan of the vocals, lyrics, or instrumentation. Particularly confused with the constant alien noises in the background. Not enjoyable.

Coles Corner by Richard Hawley
May 28 2025

Felt like a cross between Mac Demarco and Orville Peck. Big fan of this album minus the last few songs.

Parklife by Blur
May 29 2025

Enjoyed parts. Lot of repetition which at times was a bit grating. Rounding 2.5 to 3 stars (blur may benefit from being directly after super furry animals in my listening order)

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
May 30 2025

Bruce being Bruce. Lot of underplayed bangers on here. Racing in the street my personal fav. *edit* had to edit and upgrade to 5 stars. Been listening non stop for 3 days.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 31 2025

heart of glass is probably one of my favourites of this era. Overall very good album probably somewhere in between 3 and 4 stars

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Jun 01 2025

This was fine but it was 22 minutes so not sure what’s going on spotify. Great energy but just gonna go 2 stars since it could’ve been much better.

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Jun 02 2025

Didn’t hate this album but also will not be revisiting. Not a fan of the vocals.

Jun 03 2025

Really liked the first song but downhill from there. Until the last few songs which were decent again.

Jun 04 2025

Knew many of the songs but some were surprisingly good and unheard of. Overall haunting and wow his voice sounds incredibly emotional. Tear stained letter underrated

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jun 05 2025

The long songs were all good. The short songs were a bit hit and miss

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 06 2025

not bad but definitely worse than the previous smiths. Last song just made me hungry

The Clash by The Clash
Jun 07 2025

Not nearly as good as London calling but nothin wrong with it

Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole And The Commotions
Jun 09 2025

This had some good songs but not sure why it’s on the list. Kinda bland and all I could think was “this sounds like a knockoff of ___” Overall not my favourite and no big standouts

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jun 10 2025

Never listened to Solomon Burke but really liked this album. His voice is like a different flavour of sam cooke.

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Jun 11 2025

Meh. Not offensively bad but not very enjoyable imo

A Girl Called Dusty by Dusty Springfield
Jun 12 2025

decent selection of covers that are only decent because dusty has a nice voice. that mockingbird song was just terrible. Not a bad album but nothing special

The Beach Boys Today! by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Somewhere in the 3-4 range. Didn’t know any of these songs but very enjoyable all throughout.

Songs In The Key Of Life by Stevie Wonder
Jun 14 2025

1st half was 3 ish stars for me but really liked the 2nd. There’s a 45 minute 5 star album but it’s stretched out a bit with some filler

Jun 15 2025

Some songs were okay but overall just dragged way too much. Lot of decent ideas that seemed to be executed poorly

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jun 16 2025

Some neat songs and lot of potential to be a regular good 60s album but so so much weird shit going on

Imagine by John Lennon
Jun 17 2025

So John Lennon decided Imagine, his album advocating for peace and kindness for all humans, was the best place to release his Paul McCartney diss track. Got it.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
Jun 18 2025

Only knew the title track so i had high hopes. A bit disappointed by the lack of creativity on the rest of the album. Fine background music but that’s it

OK Computer by Radiohead
Jun 19 2025

Sometimes I have to be in a Radiohead mood to listen to them. But this album was great regardless

The Modern Lovers by The Modern Lovers
Jun 20 2025

Had to turn it off really not a fan. Really not my genre and much of the music was repetitive making it hard to listen to

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Jun 21 2025

Great album. First 3 songs are all perfection, followed by a solid list of songs with a great range of energy. Some of the most tasteful and impressive guitar playing of all time

We Are Family by Sister Sledge
Jun 22 2025

I hate that I thought of the stupid will smith song. Overall very catchy with memorable bits

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Jun 23 2025

Better than expected. Added a few songs to my liked

Murmur by R.E.M.
Jun 24 2025

Not too bad. Not too interesting. Pretty much exactly what I expect from rem

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jun 25 2025

Never listened to much NIN before but i am now a big fan. The album has a very cohesive theme and many songs that stand up alone as well. 4.5 stars.

Brothers by The Black Keys
Jun 26 2025

Didn’t know this album very well at all but quite good. More range than I was expecting but their signature sound is very present

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Jun 27 2025

Stevie wonder is good but I can’t listen to him all day. Enjoyable album tho

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jun 28 2025

Listened otw to the cottage so not super close attention. Still pretty good from what I heard

New Wave by The Auteurs
Jun 30 2025

kinda boring we’ve heard this like 26 times already

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jul 01 2025

This was okay. Very classic rock and British

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Jul 03 2025

They are a punk band and they didn’t try to fool you

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Jul 06 2025

I like his early stuff so much. Great folk album + artist

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Aug 09 2025

First album back in ages. I enjoyed the jazzier parts of the album but was surprised to find I dont love her voice at certain times. Still a good album

Tapestry by Carole King
Oct 21 2025

Initial thoughts: wow this sounds a lot like the gilmore girls theme *gilmore girls theme plays”
