Popular Reviews

High Violet by The National

It's been a while since I've made an actual comment, but this might be the worse album I've listened to in this entire process. If I could give this a 0, I would. I was crawling out of my skin listening to this turgid, boring, endless album. Every song sounds almost the same. The singer somehow seems less interested in singing than I was listening. I knew I didn't like the National before listening, but actually going through one of their "best" albums seals the deal.

Slipknot by Slipknot

I remember hating it even more, so 2 is a step up I guess.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 23 2025

It's funny, I love some stuff by the Smiths, but I've never listened to this entire album before. Not really a fan, it felt a bit meandering.

Marquee Moon by Television
Apr 24 2025

Great album. Never listened to Television before, but reminded me of Talking Heads in the best way. The title song was particularly great!

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Apr 25 2025

Maybe this was amazing in it's time, but listening now it's like a mix of Elton John Piano and David Bowie. The only song that really stuck out was Dreamer, but that might be because it was in a movie?

Boston by Boston
Apr 28 2025

All-timer. Probably one of my favorite rock albums. Every song is a hit.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Apr 29 2025

Some good songs but none of his hits and a lot of this album feels a little samey. I didn't love it.

Dr. Octagonecologyst by Dr. Octagon
Apr 30 2025

I didn't like it, I didn't dislike it. It's too long.

Strange Cargo III by William Orbit
May 01 2025

Techno background music. Totally neutral on this one.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
May 02 2025

It's not bad music, but I don't want to listen to it.

Tapestry by Carole King
May 05 2025

So many great songs on here. Lots I didn't realize Carole King wrote.

Now I Got Worry by The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion
May 07 2025

Took a couple of listens on this one to really get into it. Pretty great rock album. I won't say every song hit, but overall a great album!

Fuzzy by Grant Lee Buffalo
May 08 2025

This one was rough. I was open to it at first, but it just got worse and worse until it hit me with Dixie Drug Store, maybe one of the worst songs I've ever heard. I will say that it makes total sense that Michael Stipe loved this album in 1994.

Tonight's The Night by Neil Young
May 09 2025

Great songs. I cannot state how much I hate Neil Young's voice and I feel like I'm being gaslit by the rest of the world about him being great.

1984 by Van Halen
May 13 2025

Some good songs, overall kinda samey.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
May 14 2025

Great album, love his voice!

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
May 15 2025

Pretty awful. 10-20 minute solos, barely even songs. Maybe they're better on the studio record, but I hated this.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
May 19 2025

Great songs, not my favorite band overall.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
May 21 2025

I think this one could be a 5/5 after a few more listens. Really interesting.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
May 22 2025

One of the best albums to listen to as loud as you can!

Mermaid Avenue by Billy Bragg
May 23 2025

Album is great, but California Stars is an all-timer.

21 by Adele
May 27 2025

Great singer and some great songs, but not something I want to listen to regularly.

May 29 2025

I feel like I've heard albums like this before (either Chemistry Is What We Are by Simian, or maybe The Go Team) and I've enjoyed them, but this one didn't do it for me. No stand-out songs from my listening.

Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
May 30 2025

Fun album I'd never heard before. Make sure you only listen to the 10 original tracks.

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 02 2025

I listen to this about once a month. One of my all-time favorites.

Damaged by Black Flag
Jun 04 2025
Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 05 2025

Probably my most-listened album ever. From age 16 to now. One of the best!

If You're Feeling Sinister by Belle & Sebastian
Jun 06 2025

If you like this, listen to Tigermilk, which I think is their best album!

Mar 06 2026

There's some good stuff here, but so much of it has aged badly. The skits and diddy makes it harder to enjoy.

Apr 24 2026

Van Halen by Van Halen
Apr 27 2026

I don't love this style of music, but this is about as good as it's going to get, so 3 stars!

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Apr 28 2026

Neil Young can't go above a 3 because of his voice

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 05 2026
Picture Book by Simply Red
May 06 2026

Honestly, this has been the worst album in this entire process. I'm about 250 albums in. I'm British, so I see what happened, the writer grew up in the UK and listened to this. I think if we're actually being honest, this is true garbage, and should never have made it to the list.
