Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Popular Reviews

Vol. 4

Black Sabbath

2/5

Not a fan, this album is not my favourite, but I've enjoyed listening to it. But I won't be coming back to this album and I like a few Black Sabbath songs in general.

The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

All Ratings

Hard Again

Muddy Waters

3/5

I'm not a huge fan of classic blues and this particular album is not for me 100%. But I like blues/jazz and modern versions in general. I listened to Mannish Boy, one of the most popular Watter songs - liked it way more than the proposed album.

The White Album

Beatles

4/5

I never was fun of the Beatles, but totally acknowledged their immeasurable impact on the pop-music and music in general. My favorite version of Beatles is in the musical 'Across the Universe', which even more pointing that I'm definitely not a fun :) However, the album is great and I enjoyed listening to it!

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

4/5

I have loved 'Big Iron' by M. Robbins for a while. I think after Fallout: New Vegas release. I have a soft spot for classical voice singers of 30-60, so it wasn't a new performer for me. In general album is great, I won't listen it much but 2 songs will be in my playlist for sure. The second is the original 'Cool Water' that has an absolutely beautiful cover in Cohen's almanac: The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.

Violator

Depeche Mode

5/5

It's an all-time classic and masterpiece! One of the bands that formed the synth-pop genre and still has a modern sound, maybe just a little outdated :-)

Paul Simon

1/5

Not my cup of tee, but the guy is very good in general

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

2/5

It's strange that a more popular album wasn't recommended. I'm totally okay with country music, but Mitchell's songs don't ring my bells.

Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite

Maxwell

4/5

A decent r&b/soul album, I enjoyed listening to it and even added one song to 'liked' (Dancewithme). The album has a strong 'dancing/move your body' vibe, which is really cool. Listening to it I vividly imagine people dancing somewhere in a big city of the States or in some club.

World Clique

Deee-Lite

2/5

Old 80-90 elector music and it doesn't ring my bells

The Number Of The Beast

Iron Maiden

3/5

'Fear of the Dark' is the only Iron Maiden song I absolutely adore. The album is an absolute classic of the heavy metal genre, but it's just not for me.

At San Quentin

Johnny Cash

4/5

Cash is an absolute legend. He cannot be judged by mere stars. This particular album is not my favorite, but it's cool anyway, cause you can hear Cash actually talking with the crowd and his real thoughts and feelings. Will listen to it one more time in some time.

The Message

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five

3/5

Cool vibes and moves, The Message is an excellent song. So old hip-hop is not always my cup of tea, but these guys were interesting listen to.

Adele

1/5

Never was a fun of Adele. As I see an overhyped pop singer with a minimum difference with other thousands of pop singers. Yes, she has a strong voice and individuality, but I feel literally nothing when I hear those songs with 1B+ plays . Not for me.

Leftism

Leftfield

3/5

Interesting and obviously influential electronic music. I ought to listen one more time later to understand it better

Sea Change

Beck

2/5

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

3/5

Live At Leeds

The Who

2/5

I like the Who in general, mostly popular songs, but this particular album - not so much

Tommy

The Who

1/5

Two albums of The Who in a row? :D Seriously? The band itself is great, but I don't like it much. The vibes of The Beatles are in place. I like a few popular songs of The Who, but I don't enjoy anything else much.

The Slider

T. Rex

3/5

Cool guys, I won't be a fan of glam rock, but it's definitely an interesting piece of music history and legacy.

Pink Moon

Nick Drake

1/5

3 + 3

The Isley Brothers

1/5

Nice musicians, but not for me.

Moving Pictures

Rush

1/5

Too high-pitched and psychedelic for me.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

4/5

Legend of legends. I liked just a few songs, but overall sound of the album is excellent. True blues give or take. I won't listen it often, but surely do once more sometimes

Exile In Guyville

Liz Phair

1/5

Is she singing off-key? Lol. Or is it some 'singning-in-the-shower-or-yard' style that I didn't get? Looks like she wasn't even trying to sing something properly and with soul in it. Sounds a bit like bard/author music, and I usually like it, but not this time. It was really hard to listen even 5 tracks and there are 18. Very strange music, can't recommend.

Achtung Baby

1/5

I don't like U2

Kid A

Radiohead

4/5

Love just one song "Everything In Its Right Place", but the album overall is great and sad... But do you expect from Radiohead?

Can't Buy A Thrill

Steely Dan

2/5

Elvis Presley

4/5

Rings Around The World

Super Furry Animals

1/5

Wild Is The Wind

Nina Simone

3/5

I have adored Nina Simone for a long time, but this particular album is not my favourite. However, I enjoyed listening to it during breakfast preparation with a sunny morning behind the window.

Pet Sounds

The Beach Boys

4/5

Legends. Excellent "old sound" and thick taste of 60th music.

Electric

The Cult

2/5

The Rolling Stones

2/5

Never liked The Rolling Stones. Legends. But not for me.

Under Construction

Missy Elliott

1/5

Shitty pop rap. No. Sound is interesting, but those vocals... Just NO.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

4/5

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

3/5

Django Django

4/5

Interesting sound, hard to describe. Electronic sounds face psychedelic notes. Like modern tribal music, trance or something. Unique stuff.

All That You Can't Leave Behind

1/5

Nothing has changed, and I still don't like U2. However, the album is not bad in general.

Heaven Or Las Vegas

Cocteau Twins

1/5

Kind Of Blue

Miles Davis

3/5

Absolute classic, but a bit complex for me.

If You Can Believe Your Eyes & Ears

The Mamas & The Papas

5/5

The pop music is as it should be. An absolute masterpiece. Monday and California dreaming in my heart forever.

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

The Byrds

2/5

Excellent mix of country music with blues and maybe rock? Unexpected but pleasant cocktail. Can recommend for those who like country music in general.

Billion Dollar Babies

Alice Cooper

2/5

Classic, but not compelling. Except for the 'Poison' song, never was a Cooper's admirer.

Thriller

Michael Jackson

4/5

The funny thing is that the album has a different sound in my memories. But anyway, it's if not the most but definitely one of the best pop albums ever recorded. Everlasting classic.

The Cars

3/5

Francis Albert Sinatra & Antonio Carlos Jobim

Frank Sinatra

4/5

Bosanova is life!

Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water

Limp Bizkit

5/5

I had this album released on a tape cassette! Absolute classic of new metal and my favourite band, along with Korn. Never was a fan of Linkin Park :-)

Casanova

The Divine Comedy

1/5

Aladdin Sane

David Bowie

2/5

David Bowie is a genius, not doubt. But this album is not my cup of tea.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

Surprisingly good. Strong country vibes. Will listen later more

Back to Basics

Christina Aguilera

1/5

For me, Aguilera starts and ends with Moulin Rouge. Don't like this mix of pop-jazz and hip-hop. Too shallow and simple.

Smile
