The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla

Xylophone solos accompanied by an accordion? No thanks!

1-Star Albums (4)

All Ratings (65)

Nilsson Schmilsson by Harry Nilsson
Apr 10 2025

Several hit songs, but some filler on the album as a whole.

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 14 2025

Mellow reggae throughout.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Apr 15 2025

Boring. Lacks energy, and I don't like the hit song from the album. Ironically, the best song was "Dull Life", which was energetic & souded like Yeah Yeah Yeahs first EP.

Ghosteen by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Apr 17 2025

Atmospheric & airy synths. Kind of like Bladerunner OST Vangelis meets Black Star Bowie. Uplifting & melancholic by turns. Great album if you're in the right mood.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Apr 21 2025

Folky album with loads of variety between songs. Really good

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Apr 22 2025

Great live louge recording. Love the music but really not a fan of her singing. Her vibrato is way too much and is off-putting.

3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul
Apr 23 2025

Iconic! Great songs, but some filler tracks stops it being a 5.

Talking Timbuktu by Ali Farka Touré
Apr 24 2025

Boring, simplistic & repetitive

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Apr 25 2025

Just an average African blues album. one of the 1001 to listen to before you die!?

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Apr 28 2025

Awesome! Like a 50's rock mix of Elton John, Billy Joel & Buddy Holly. Best album yet.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Apr 29 2025

A bit rough raound the edges. Masively overshadowed by Back to Black. 2.5/5

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Apr 30 2025

Live album that felt like an hour long guitar solo! Good music, just not a great album. I'd rather listen to the studio recordings.

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
May 01 2025

Great early album. Raw, intense and short songs. Lacks mega hits, but feels genuine, not manufactured.

The New Tango by Astor Piazzolla
May 02 2025

Xylophone solos accompanied by an accordion? No thanks!

Imagine by John Lennon
May 05 2025

Dull & forgettable. Really dislike the title track!

Harvest by Neil Young
May 06 2025

Decent, iconic folk album. Not one I'd listen to frequently, though.

Risque by CHIC
May 07 2025

Quite repetitive. Knew the first song, but others weren't anything special.

Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
May 11 2025

Surprisingly good! More "O Brother, Where Art Thou" than pure country music.

The Message by Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
May 14 2025

Innovative for the time, but to early to be an enjoyable Hip Hop album.

May 15 2025

Stream of conciousness rap. Not good, but some good beats and obvious talent. Won't listen to album/artist again.

Power In Numbers by Jurassic 5
May 16 2025

Top 5 summer albums. Worth every star!

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
May 17 2025

Like spoken word poetry put to music. No idea why I like it so much, but the album is great! Definitely need to be in the mood though.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
May 21 2025

Still souds like the Pixies. Album not good or bad eally. 2.5/5

Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
May 22 2025

Pretty boring tbh. Nothing catchy and just noisy really. Wouldn't liste to again.

Innervisions by Stevie Wonder
May 24 2025

Great 70's funk album. A few songs aren't good enough for 6 starts though.

Savane by Ali Farka Touré
May 25 2025
Parallel Lines by Blondie
May 30 2025

Great to hear an album from te '80's that's actually live recorded and withou over-produced drums! 3.5/5

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
May 31 2025

3.5/5 - Nice change from Rumours, but nothing jumps out. Still the same sound though!

Back To Black by Amy Winehouse
Jun 03 2025

Great, but just overplayed now. Very Mark Ronson.

Rhythm Nation 1814 by Janet Jackson
Jun 05 2025

Really obnoxious & repetitive 80's music. Sounds like a 3 year old wrote the lyrics.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Jun 06 2025

Fairly average 70's rock. Nothing that really bites, but still good music overall

The Bends by Radiohead
Jun 07 2025

Every song gets better& better until it ends with Street Spirit (Fade Out). Great album, but not my fav from them.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jun 08 2025

2.5/5. Beautiful music, but not an album I'd put on and listen to.all the way through.

Arular by M.I.A.
Jun 11 2025

Dire. Just noise

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jun 14 2025

Amazing & nostalgic! I love how rough around the edges it is.

The Köln Concert by Keith Jarrett
Jun 15 2025

Love the music, although a bit too virtuosic at times. What I can't stand is his singing along. Really distracting. Maybe can't hear through speakers at regular volume, but through headphones it jus souds ridiculous!

Jun 20 2025

Love has a great voice, but the album itself is kinda forgettable.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Jun 21 2025

Great songs / Bad album. The story skits & audible sex / blowjob were awful to listen to.

Black Metal by Venom
Jul 02 2025

Feels like more modern punk/thrash metal for '81. Some good riffs, but album souded like it was recorded in the next room with 1 mic! Probably wouldn't listen to again.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jul 04 2025

I like this meelow stylof coutr, but the songs all souded the same. Good background music

Queen II by Queen
Jul 05 2025

Very creative. Brian May was on form here, but freddie wasn't his extravagant self yet. I grew up with the Greatest Hits album, so a lot of these were new to me. Good fu, but not one I'll rush back to

Damaged by Black Flag
Jul 06 2025

Despite being released in 1980, his album feels really fresh. Very energetic. Not sure I'd listen to it again, but enjoyed it nonetheless.

Jul 07 2025

Quite like early-mid Beatles. A couple of memorable songs, but most are quite samey. 3.5/5

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Jul 14 2025

I was 15 when this came out. I don't care if I sound old, but you had to be there for this MTV Nu-metal era of music to really get the vibe. Wouldn't trade the late 90's / early 00's for anything!

Feast of Wire by Calexico
Aug 01 2025

Wasn't sure at first, but the album grew on me as I listened. Americana-folk. Has shades of Nickelcreek, Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, etc.

Hail To the Thief by Radiohead
Aug 04 2025

Probably my least listened to Radiohead album, and for good reason. Not as attention grabbing as earlier ones, but still some of the same DNA. Might grow on me if I listen to it more.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Aug 19 2025

Not as refined as his later work. Good listen, but wouldn't put it on again.
