Popular Reviews

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys

I like Eminem a lot ❤️🔥❤️

Abraxas by Santana

First listen to Santana, I really expected something else. There were some enjoyable moments especially with the guitar, also the jazz parts, I don’t know exactly how to describe them. It was interesting and new I’ll probably warm up to it eventually. 7.5/10, the expectations I had ruined the initial experience, thankfully I listened to it more, admittedly it’s quite good.

Never even heard of this band, only metal I ever listened to was Iron Maiden. Didn’t expect any more or less, quite repetitive I wouldn’t call it noise, I think more than anything it’s not my thing. I do hope however, to listen to more of this artist I think they could do a lot better. 6.5/10.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Apr 26 2025

Different from the jazz I’ve listened to, electrics and synths were nice.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Apr 27 2025

Not a genre I would listen to that much. What you would expect an 80s metal band first album would sound like, but better. Was great for its time, a bit dated nowadays. Vocals were good, great instrumentals, the songwriting was pretty simple most times but that’s not really a bad thing actually might be for the best, probably not something this album would be best known for.

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Apr 28 2025

Didn’t listen to the full album fan of Eminem in general though.

Pretzel Logic by Steely Dan
Apr 29 2025

First Introduction to Steely Dan, it’s pretty nonsensical, almost always a piano or some sort of keyboards, the harmony vocals and jazzy instruments mixed with late 60s sounding rock gave it quite an interesting sound. Great album overall, I’d rate it 4.5, unbiasedly it’s probably more like a 4.0 or 3.5. It’s a good album but admittedly I like it better than it actually is, + album standouts: Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Any Major Dude Will Tell You, With A Gun, Charlie Freak and Monkey In Your Soul, honorable mention to East St. Louise Toodle-Oo, not one the best tracks but one of my favorites.

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 30 2025

Quite short spanning only 30 minutes though ten songs I suppose it is a typical LP for the decade and origin, although I would’ve expected two more. Aretha’s voice gives a different style to classics, no version better than the other. Great use of background vocals, created a mix of her voice and instruments included. Standouts: Chain of Fools, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Come Back Baby and Sweet Sweet Baby. Honorable mention: People Get Ready and Good to Me As I Am to You. Rating: 8.0/10, really enjoyable songs I rank this really high overall.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
May 01 2025

Not my first listen to Tom Petty, still not that familiar. Sounds pretty typical for the decade, I do like that he wrote most if not all the songs, his best works are definitely not here but anyone can tell it has great potential, would like to listen to other albums and works in the near future. Standouts: Breakdown, American Girl, Rockin’ Around (With You). Honorable Mention: Anything That’s Rock ‘N’ Roll. Overall rating: 6.5/10, good album I enjoyed it, mostly but I wouldn’t choose to put it on.

May 02 2025

I enjoyed the little songs I listened to, don’t like hip-hop much. Objectively I think it’s good might actually listen to it after a while.

Crosby, Stills & Nash by Crosby, Stills & Nash
May 03 2025

I appreciate how they “keep” their own sound but really the songs aren’t that distinct from each other, it’s really the songwriting that’s a little different. Not actually a bad thing I just expected something else. The harmonies and instruments didn’t help, the formula got a bit old fast but it works really well for a few tracks. OaARaT: 7.5/10, there’s some really good songs off it but, the album in general, it’s good, could be better.

Maxinquaye by Tricky
May 04 2025

Electronic noise has gotten far since The Beatles.

Playing With Fire by Spacemen 3
May 05 2025

Blinky’s musical daydream. (It actually sounds like meditation music mostly)

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
May 06 2025

Vocals: The range of voices work and harmonize well. Songwriting:it’s not crazy, nor is it predictable, in a good way. AR: 8/10

Suede by Suede
May 07 2025

Didn’t think it would be so enjoyable.

Definitely Maybe by Oasis
May 08 2025

I genuinely think Gallagher could start his own solo career, I mean what does the other one do, write songs and play guitar or whatever?

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
May 09 2025

This album made me vegetarian. -Ninonin Theone

Brilliant Corners by Thelonious Monk
May 10 2025

Type of jazz I really enjoy. Drums and piano are always wonderful, it was really relaxing to listen to to. Overall I’d say 9/10 great tracks, not too many, they’re a bit long and completely instrumental, so I’m sure not everybody would like it as much as I.

Violator by Depeche Mode
May 11 2025

Though I appreciate New Wave I don’t quite dig it, it’s rarely gotten right after all. That is the reason for which I fancy ‘Violator’ so much. Favorites: Enjoy the Silence, World in My Eyes, Sweetest Perfection. Dislikes: none actually, all tracks are at least 7/10 or more -Ninonin Theone.

LP1 by FKA twigs
May 12 2025

Didn’t I do it for you 🥺. 3.5

Music From Big Pink by The Band
May 13 2025

It’s good, I can see this being someone’s favorite album.

Blonde On Blonde by Bob Dylan
May 15 2025

Not much I can say, it’s really good. Classic style of Bob Dylan harmonica, guitar, great lyrics. One of my favorite and one of his best. 10/10

May 18 2025

Never even heard of this band, only metal I ever listened to was Iron Maiden. Didn’t expect any more or less, quite repetitive I wouldn’t call it noise, I think more than anything it’s not my thing. I do hope however, to listen to more of this artist I think they could do a lot better. 6.5/10.

May 19 2025

No doubt a great soul album, really, not only soul, but jazz, funky instrumentals too. A perfect groovy vibe I really dig. 9/10 -Ninonin Theone.

Abraxas by Santana

First listen to Santana, I really expected something else. There were some enjoyable moments especially with the guitar, also the jazz parts, I don’t know exactly how to describe them.

Shake Your Money Maker by The Black Crowes
May 22 2025

It’s not revolutionary, it’s not bad, it’s not great but it’s good enough. -N.O

Penance Soiree by The Icarus Line
May 23 2025

Would enjoy the album more if it were just the first track.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
May 24 2025

Considering it’s their debut album it’s rather impressive, considering it’s not, it still holds up quite well. While ‘Clint Eastwood’ is considered the best track off it, even by me, I still think it’s hilariously awkward how the rap section came in. Album started to drag a bit after the second half. Side note, some tracks actually remind me of Glass animals. Favorites: Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, Sound Check (Gravity). Dislikes: Clint Eastwood, Rock the House. 6/10

Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
May 26 2025

I believe the compilation is; Vento de Maio, Sai Dessa, Tiro Ao Álvaro, Só Deus E Quem Sabe, O Que Foi Feito Devera, Nova Estação, Calcanhar de Aquiles, Outro Cais, Rebento, O Trem Azul, O Medo de Amar e o Medo de Ser Livre, Se Eu Quisar Falar Com Deus, Aprendendo a Jogar. The official one isn’t on Apple Music don’t know about Spotify. If it is, 😔👌🔥

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
May 29 2025

1. I prefer The “Hopping” Grasshoppers 2. Don’t expect whats on the tin, not anywhere on the album can there be heard a cricket chirping, let alone a band of ‘em. 3. …….cricket…..cricket…they’re supposed to be chirping.

Dummy by Portishead
May 30 2025

Absolute banger to sleep to.

Slanted And Enchanted by Pavement
Jun 02 2025

I’ve got nothing, is it generic or am I just at a loss of words, that is the question.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 03 2025

I like Eminem a lot ❤️🔥❤️

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jun 04 2025

Keep falling asleep so haven’t listened much but pretty sure this is peak.

Scum by Napalm Death
Jun 05 2025

I wanna cut my ears off, eat them and head to the toilet.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Jun 06 2025

All bad jokes and puns need to stop they’re boring.🤨 Badum tss

Get Behind Me Satan by The White Stripes
Jun 07 2025

It’s good but I can’t appreciate it.

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jun 08 2025

Most songs on the album lasts 1 day, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59.000009 seconds.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jun 13 2025

I love you.

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jun 16 2025

Don’t take it seriously and you’ll enjoy it more, Sweet gene vincent goes unironically hard though.

Hypnotised by The Undertones
Jun 18 2025

It’s perfectly average. 2.5

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jun 21 2025

Ahh! So violent my ears are bleeeding. 😐 Rhcp but they’re not as excited or maybe more excited

Bat Out Of Hell by Meat Loaf
Jun 22 2025

It’s bad but not that bad but actually that bad

Jun 23 2025

Most people who claim they hate country are talking about the modern version of it, pop with a southern accent and an acoustic in the background (morgan wallen), a more appropriate name for that by the way would be pop(with country influences). 3.5

Jun 25 2025

It’s not Muzak, it was good for its time. People just forgot how to appreciate it. It’s not for everyone that’s for sure but to call it soulless or generic, that’s just plain wrong. 3.5

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Jun 27 2025

Idk the lore and it’s impressive for the 70s but Imagine if it were named pan Europe express. That’s it.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Jun 28 2025

Im going to a disco party every week from now on.
