Popular Reviews

Odelay by Beck

Odelay blends a lot of genres and sounds into an album that doesn’t feel cohesive and can border on obnoxious. I really don’t get Beck.

Vespertine by Björk

No me gusta Björk.

All Ratings (97)

Sound of Silver by LCD Soundsystem
Apr 14 2025

Has some interesting grooves and sounds, but can get fairly repetitive. The vocals also don’t do it for me overall.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
Apr 15 2025

I can’t stand Dylan’s voice and strange inflection he uses when singing. It takes what would be fine songs and drags them down in my opinion.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Apr 16 2025

Great album all the way through. Some all time classics on it as well.

Apr 17 2025

I don’t know what it is, but I find a lot of rock albums from this time period to be lacking something. That said, the album was enjoyable at times but ultimately forgettable.

At San Quentin by Johnny Cash
Apr 18 2025

Really fun album! Johnny has great banter with the audience, which is worth the listen alone. Great performances as well.

Odelay by Beck
Apr 22 2025

Odelay blends a lot of genres and sounds into an album that doesn’t feel cohesive and can border on obnoxious. I really don’t get Beck.

White Ladder by David Gray
Apr 23 2025

Boring and completely forgettable adult contemporary schlock.

Throwing Muses by Throwing Muses
Apr 24 2025

The album listed is throwing muses but the picture is for a hard to find album called in a doghouse. In a doghouse sounds pretty rough overall and the singer makes a lot of dolphin like noises while singing making it an even tougher listen. The album, throwing muses, was a bit better than in a doghouse but it still isn’t my thing.

Apr 25 2025

Really cool album. It consist of 4 tracks, but they’re all lengthy and follow a central theme, so it really feels like one long continuous song.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Apr 28 2025

David Bowie has some great songs and albums, this is not one of them. It’s kind of like listening to a fever dream.

Songs Of Leonard Cohen by Leonard Cohen
Apr 29 2025

Sleepy, slow, monotone, rambling are all words I would use to describe this album. The lyrics may be deep and meaningful to a lot of people, but it feels like listening to someone talking just for the sake of talking. A lot of the tracks are very sparse with just acoustic guitar and Leonard’s singing which only adds to the sleepy feeling of the album. Even the tracks that do feature more instruments still feel just as sparse.

Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Apr 30 2025

Fun listen. I went into this not being the biggest Prince fan, but came out with a new appreciation for his music. Although not all the tracks were hits for me, his wide stylistic range on this album made for something that I’m sure anyone can find joy in.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
May 01 2025

I don’t think there’s anything left to say about this album. Pink Floyd is one of my favorite bands and this album is a masterpiece.

Colour By Numbers by Culture Club
May 07 2025

Aggressively mild in every way possible, complete with cheesy 80s sounds. I’d rather not listen to anything than this.

S&M by Metallica
May 09 2025
Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 11 2025

There’s not much to say about classic rock albums like Bayou Country. They’re classics for a reason.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
May 12 2025

This music has no balls. The singers voice is grating as are the vocal harmonies. I have no clue why this type of watered down terrible “rock” music became so popular in the 2000’s.

Fragile by Yes
May 13 2025

Cans and Brahms, We Have Heaven, and Five Per Cent for Nothing feel like filler but are all under 2 minutes and don’t get in the way of the meat of the album. Everything else is Yes firing on all cylinders and it’s fantastic.

May 14 2025

It’s Irish rock music alright. It’s fine, but every band that plays this kind of music sounds exactly the same. I definitely didn’t need 19 songs on this album.

Vespertine by Björk
May 15 2025

No me gusta Björk.

Truth And Soul by Fishbone
May 16 2025

Kind of interesting at times, but ultimately falls flat.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
May 17 2025

The album has its highs and lows, but Paul McCartney always sounds great. It’s definitely not the Beatles, but still has its moments.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
May 18 2025

Not bad as far as 60s psych rock goes. Still not something I will likely revisit.

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
May 22 2025

Angsty music for teenagers.

Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors
May 26 2025

Very choppy n sloppy sounding. It sounds disorganized and as if ideas and rhythms were just slapped together without regard to how they fit in the song. Some interesting moments, but ultimately it’s a fatiguing listen.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
May 28 2025

I think this project is showing me that I don’t like David Bowie.

Here Are the Sonics by The Sonics
May 29 2025

It’s okay. Good energy and performance, but it’s about as 60s as you can get.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 31 2025

Some good tracks mixed with some pretty forgettable ones.

1984 by Van Halen
Jun 01 2025

I hate jump. Everything else is very good.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren
Jun 05 2025

Two Buffalo girls go around the outside.

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jun 06 2025

It has some great moments, a lot of weird moments, and some kind of annoying moments. Interesting album overall, but even after listening to it twice I’m not sure if it’s quite my thing.

The Band by The Band
Jun 08 2025

Another album from the band, and again I feel it’s just okay.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 12 2025

More like licensed to suck. I’ve tried with the beastie boys in the past but can never get into them. Their voices are extremely grating and every song feels repetitive.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

Some great songs mixed with some rather forgettable ones. Decent overall, but not something I’ll return to anytime soon.

Queen II by Queen
Jun 17 2025

Not one of queens best.

Wild Wood by Paul Weller
Jun 18 2025

A bit of a weird one for me. I like the music but feel that almost every song goes on too long. Also Paul’s voice can not be my favorite at times.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Jun 19 2025

I am admittedly not a Michael Jackson fan, and this album reminds me why. I can’t stand the ultra 80s sounds with all the cheesy synths, bass, and terrible hard snare drum sound. I feel like every track hits the snare on the 2 and 4 and doesn’t let up for the whole song. Some songs also feel like they go on a little too long. Michael is overall a great singer/performer but his music just isn’t for me.

Pieces Of The Sky by Emmylou Harris
Jun 20 2025

She has a great voice, but a lot of the songs steer too far into a stereotypical country sound for me. The songs that don’t go there are quite enjoyable.

Heroes by David Bowie
Jun 21 2025

Eh.

For Your Pleasure by Roxy Music
Jun 23 2025

I guess I don’t like glam. Overly theatrical garbage.

Ray Of Light by Madonna
Jun 26 2025

90s to the extreme. Just okay.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jul 01 2025

Golden years and stay are good. Everything else, meh.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jul 04 2025

Dreary, sad music for all the dreary, sad boys and girls.

Foxbase Alpha by Saint Etienne
Jul 07 2025

Fine as background music, but nothing too exciting.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Jul 09 2025
World Clique by Deee-Lite
Jul 23 2025

A little goes a long way. Not as obnoxious as I thought it would be.

Live! by Fela Kuti
Jul 25 2025
Clandestino by Manu Chao
Jul 27 2025

I don’t enjoy his voice.
