Popular Reviews

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem

Never understood the popularity of this band. Not bad, not good.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.

Love Biggie. I grew up on Biggie and Pac. Can't go wrong listening to one of the greatest rap albums of all time.

Aja by Steely Dan

This album put me on Steely Dan. I didn't understand the band until I heard the first minute of Black Cow.

Kid A by Radiohead

Another reminder about the fact that I just don't understand why Radiohead is so popular. They have maybe 2 songs in their whole discography that I like. Pass.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

A certified hood classic.

Murmur by R.E.M.
Mar 29 2025

Very easy to listen to, but no single track stands out to me.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Mar 30 2025

This album is a classic for a reason. Every song is enjoyable and blends together nicely.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Mar 31 2025

Not for me. I like synth-pop, but this is too melancholy in an annoying kind of way.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Apr 02 2025

Didn't recognize the band or the album, but as soon as the 2nd sing hit, I got a wave of nostalgia. Pretty good stuff.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 05 2025

Love me some Hendrix. Can't go wrong giving out with this one.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
Apr 07 2025

I don't even know where to begin. It sounds experimental, yet well put together? Very indie, very melodic, but not for me.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
Apr 08 2025

The classic beats, the flow, the ability of each member to blend their styles into each song; this album was one of my favorites back in the day.

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
Apr 09 2025

Cool melodies, very alt rock. If you had told me this album came out in the early 2000s, I would've believed you.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Apr 11 2025

Love Biggie. I grew up on Biggie and Pac. Can't go wrong listening to one of the greatest rap albums of all time.

The Chronic by Dr. Dre
Apr 13 2025

Classic. Love it. The production, the lyrics, the features. It's perfect.

American Gothic by David Ackles
Apr 14 2025

Not for me. Kinda folksy, jazzy, I don't know.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Apr 15 2025

Awesome. The kinda rap rock that makes you miss the days of rap rock.

Superfuzz Bigmuff by Mudhoney
Apr 16 2025

Awesome grunge rock. I've heard the band's name before but I've never listened to them. Really eye-opening.

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Apr 17 2025

Not bad. I've heard a lot about Tom Waits over the years but never checked him out for some reason. Good introduction to him.

Achtung Baby by U2
Apr 18 2025

I've never really been a fan of U2. Still, this album is pretty good.

Who's Next by The Who
Apr 19 2025

Great band, great album. Nothing really stood out to me, but they definitely have a unique sound.

Doolittle by Pixies
Apr 20 2025

Awesome. Rock at its finest.

Femi Kuti by Femi Kuti
Apr 21 2025

Very political so it's not my taste, but it sounds good and is fun.

So by Peter Gabriel
Apr 22 2025

Very 80s. Not my favorite kind of 80s pop though.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 23 2025

Sounds a little modern but isn't. Cool soundscape.

Sweet Baby James by James Taylor
Apr 24 2025

Good old fashioned country, back when country was good.

Apr 25 2025

As weird as their sound is, the Talking Heads are unique. It's difficult to mistake their songs for any other band. This album isn't my favorite by them, but it still rocks pretty hard.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 27 2025

Wow, I feel like I've heard all of these songs before whether through movies or other media. Fantastic album. Lots of fun.

Cafe Bleu by The Style Council
Apr 28 2025

Good, not bad. Very much of its time. Never heard of this band.

The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy
Apr 29 2025

Iconic. The songs on this album have been played over and over again in all kinds of media since I was a kid. Not exactly easy listening, but it hits that millennial nostalgia so hard.

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 01 2025

I understand the importance of By Dylan and why he's so beloved, but his music has never touched me like it has so many other people. Not for me.

Machine Head by Deep Purple
May 02 2025

Legendary rock album. What else is there to say? If you don't recognize the intro riff to Smoke on the Water then you're uncultured.

Pretenders by Pretenders
May 03 2025

Sounds like the beginnings of alt-rock and punk rock in one album. Loved it!

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
May 04 2025

Even though I have no idea what they're saying, this psychedelic rock band can jam. Interesting use of traditional Brazilian instruments to make catchy beats. Enjoyable to an extent.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 05 2025

My 2nd Bob Dylan review. My opinion in his music hasn't changed.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
May 06 2025

I'm not a fan of live albums. I'm a fan of jazz though.

...And Justice For All by Metallica
May 07 2025

About a year ago, I listened to this album on repeat while working nights. Absolutely recommend it for staying awake and jamming out.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
May 08 2025

Very is very synthy and poppy. The Pet Shop Boys are one of those pop duos that I've heard the name and heard the music but never connected the two. Overall, fun album, but every songs sounds alike to me.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
May 09 2025

This was like a showcase of all the things I dislike about the electronic/DJ/90s party music genre.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
May 10 2025

Very catchy tunes. Nothing really stood out to me though.

Fishscale by Ghostface Killah
May 12 2025

There's a noticeable '90s sound combined with the sound of the 2000s. Decent album, not his best work though.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
May 13 2025

I didn't really like folk rock until I heard this album. Easy to listen to, meaningful lyrics, and great storytelling. Not perfect, but close.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
May 14 2025

Not bad. I enjoyed some of the album and can definitely see myself listening to one or two songs in the future, but nothing about the album really stood out to me.

Paris 1919 by John Cale
May 15 2025

Part upbeat, part melancholy, all kinda boring to be honest.

Station To Station by David Bowie
May 16 2025

I've never really liked David Bowie and never understood why people were so obsessed with him. Sure, he was unique, but his music never really made me feel anything really. This album did not change my opinion of him.

Morrison Hotel by The Doors
May 17 2025

Classic American rock. Folksy and fun.

The Dreaming by Kate Bush
May 18 2025

This is my 2nd review for a Kate Bush album I think I just don't like Kate Bush.

Run-D.M.C. by Run-D.M.C.
May 19 2025

One of the greatest of all time. Pioneers in the genre. This album is fun, catchy, cohesive, and relatable. Everything a great album needs to be truly great.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
May 20 2025

One of my all-time favorite albums. Raw lyricism.

Eagles by Eagles
May 21 2025

Easy to listen to. Each track smoothly transitions into the next. Very good vibes.

Rejoicing In The Hands by Devendra Banhart
May 22 2025

Brooding, melancholic, and folksy. Very slow overall, but not a bad sound.

Infected by The The
May 23 2025

An interesting blend of genres. The first track drew my attention and the album as a while managed to keep my attention.

Kid A by Radiohead
May 24 2025

Another reminder about the fact that I just don't understand why Radiohead is so popular. They have maybe 2 songs in their whole discography that I like. Pass.

Back In Black by AC/DC
May 25 2025

Shout out to Jack Black for putting me on AC/DC when I was a kid. This album was on repeat in my elementary days and really expanded my view of rock music.

Slayed? by Slade
May 26 2025

Pretty cool UK rock 'n' roll. Classic sound, classic style.

Horses by Patti Smith
May 27 2025

I can see her influence of punk rock and poetry style lyricism. A very interesting listen. I'd never heard of her before now, but I recognized a few of the songs off this album.

Black Metal by Venom
May 28 2025

I can definitely understand why Venom is considered a major influence on all metal. Every song hits hard and is unique while maintaining a cohesive theme.

A Little Deeper by Ms. Dynamite
May 29 2025

Really chill album. I can see myself cruising around with this music playing. I've never even heard of Ms. Dynamite but I'm incredibly impressed.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
May 30 2025

Classic 80s pop. Catchy, makes you wanna dance.

Live! by Fela Kuti
May 31 2025

Really cool. Whole album sounds like one long jam session in a jazz lounge.

Ctrl by SZA
Jun 01 2025

I hadn't heard of SZA until this album; mostly thanks to Kendrick. Her singing is incredible and unique despite comparisons to amazing singers of the previous generation like Rihanna and Beyonce.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Jun 02 2025

Very interesting, catchy 90s pop-rock. I can see why some people have this on their top rock albums of all time list. I find the singing to be a little discordant though.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 03 2025

Love Jethro. Aqualung is a classic song/album.

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Jun 04 2025

Never understood the popularity of this band. Not bad, not good.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 05 2025

The whole album is not it, but there are a few songs that stood out to me and that I've added to my favorites.

Hot Rats by Frank Zappa
Jun 07 2025

Hippie experience. Discordant but expert instrumentation.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Jun 08 2025

Sounds modern! Surprised the hell out of me. Rock, funk, pop, all-in-one. Cool sounds.

Exile In Guyville by Liz Phair
Jun 09 2025

Her vocals are incredible. Very unique. The sound of the music is typical to basic rock but her voice makes them stand out amongst all the female singers from the same genre.

Jun 10 2025

A couple amazing songs and the rest are just ok. A rap classic.

Jun 11 2025

Boogie country. Real honky tonk music. Toe-tappin' tunage.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
Jun 12 2025

Boogie rock'n'roll. ZZ Top will never not be cool. Hard hitting riffs combined with simple and relatable lyrics.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

Wow, given this right after his death. I don't know if it's a coincidence or on purpose but I guess I was meant to listen to this. It's very long for an album and is jam-packed with catchy melodies. Every song is unique and fun, which is mainly what I look for in an album.

Sister by Sonic Youth
Jun 15 2025

Most of the album sounds like incoherent noise. Very meh.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jun 16 2025

Dark and hard-hitting. Unique sound.

Pornography by The Cure
Jun 17 2025

It's definitely The Cure. Not their best album by a longshot though.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Jun 18 2025

Classic jazz piano. Love Supreme indeed.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Jun 19 2025

It's like pop rock and folk rock shook hands and spit out Elliot Smith. Not bad.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Jun 21 2025

Listening to this album in elementary school in secret was a formative experience for me and cemented my love of hip-hop.

KE*A*H** (Psalm 69) by Ministry
Jun 22 2025

Very cool industrial metal. Love the distorted mic and clear guitar riffs. That drummer goes hard af.

25 by Adele
Jun 23 2025

A classic album. Adele took pop music to the next level with this album.

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
Jun 24 2025

Not my favorite Thelonious Monk album, but still a solid jazz classic.

Aja by Steely Dan
Jun 25 2025

This album put me on Steely Dan. I didn't understand the band until I heard the first minute of Black Cow.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Jun 26 2025

Nah. Why does this generator keep recommending Radiohead albums? Is this terrible band really that popular?

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jun 28 2025

I can't decide if her singing sounds good or uncanny. Kinda like how it's hard to decide if Anya Taylor-Joy is pretty or weird-looking.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jun 29 2025

The cover doesn't match the vibe. The music is good though.

Melody A.M. by Röyksopp
Jun 30 2025

Really cool electrónica. Catchy beats and they don't overdo the synth like a lot of electronic bands do.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 01 2025

A certified hood classic.

Elephant Mountain by The Youngbloods
Jul 02 2025

Fun songs. Every song is pretty catchy.

Jul 03 2025

British folk music is not something I thought I'd ever listen to. Cool riffs, relatable lyrics, and good album cohesion.

Greetings From L.A. by Tim Buckley
Jul 04 2025

Heard of Time Buckley before, but I don't see how he's any different from other late '70s singers.

Californication by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jul 05 2025

I'm surprised it took several months before I got an RHCP album on this generator. Classic album, not my favorite from them, but it has some absolute bangers on it.

Chelsea Girl by Nico
Jul 06 2025

Meh. It's folksy and old fashioned.

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Jul 09 2025

Nice melodies. His singing isn't the best though. I can't say I would listen to this again.

The Gershwin Songbook by Ella Fitzgerald
Jul 10 2025

Ella is a timeless singer. Her voice is so iconic and the songs she sings are beyond classic.

16 Lovers Lane by The Go-Betweens
Jul 11 2025

Australian music to me is very hit or miss. It feels like they hit trends 10 to 20 years later than the USA. Despite their lateness to the party, they still manage to create something unique. This band, for example, really captures that 80s pop rock feel.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Jul 13 2025

Classic music. You can really see why they were the quintessential band back in the day.

All Directions by The Temptations
Jul 15 2025

Classic. This is quintessential funk.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jul 16 2025

British punk rock with female vocals that really gives you insight on the origins of the genre.

Halcyon Digest by Deerhunter
Jul 17 2025

Pretty creepy album cover, pretty good music.

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
Jul 18 2025

This album isn't just an album; it's a musical experience.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Jul 19 2025

One of my favorite soul singers of all time. Ms. Franklin sings on a level that can't be compared.
