Popular Reviews

Shleep by Robert Wyatt

Do you know what is worth than Jazz? White guy jazz.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake

It’s kind of a bummer that he died so young. It seems like he had a lot of potential.

Fromohio by fIREHOSE

Solid album. This is what this website is for. Discovering new music.

Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix
May 16 2025

A bit of a mess but has some classics.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
May 19 2025

I will always remember Me and Julio.. during The Royal Tannibaums

Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan
May 21 2025

No skip album. One of the greatest albums of all time.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
May 22 2025

I appreciate the quality of music here but I have no emotional attachment to this album.

Microshift by Hookworms
May 23 2025

That was alright! A cross between Spiritualized and late era Wilco.

May 27 2025

Very unique. Nothing else like this in the 70’s

Transformer by Lou Reed
May 28 2025

New York Poetry Recorded in London 3:30am on a Tuesday staring at a street lamp.

Diamond Life by Sade
May 29 2025

Smooth as hell Peak 80’s

May 30 2025

I’m dedicated to this project but not dedicated enough to listen to 50+ tracks that this album has. I listened to a shorter version and I had zero interest in it

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Jun 02 2025

Big fat guitar riffs. Makes me want to join a band.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Jun 03 2025

I don’t think it is a terrible album. It’s fine I guess. I just see me ever listening to it again

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Jun 04 2025

I think it is funny to hear English dudes rap.

Here, My Dear by Marvin Gaye
Jun 05 2025

It takes a lot of talent to create something like this. It’s art that I can’t fully comprehend but understand the greatness

The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails
Jun 06 2025

I did not like this. On the rare occasion, a cover is better than the original. This is one of those cases. Johnny Cash’s Hurt is better then Trent’s

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jun 09 2025

Spooky Adventurous Lost in Space Blood changes direction

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Jun 10 2025

Has not aged well. Not to be taken seriously Silly fun

Guero by Beck
Jun 12 2025

It’s a continuation of Odalay and Midnight Vultures but less party and more serious. Can’t say if that is a good thing or bad thing.

Smile by Brian Wilson
Jun 13 2025

Pet Sounds is one of the greatest albums of all time. Beautiful and deep. Brian Wilson has been trying to replicate that magic even since….unsuccessfully.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 16 2025

I never listened to the Pumpkins when I was a teenager. I missed out on this album. I really like it!

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 17 2025

I’m not sure if we are suppose to worship CCR. This was a good album though

Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jun 18 2025

First time hearing this album and I was a teenager in the 90’s. I think I need another listen. I think it would have been a four star album if it only had two sides

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Jun 20 2025

I just don’t like this type of music. At least this was better then the previous album of 90’s Gap background music.

Songs For Swingin' Lovers! by Frank Sinatra
Jun 27 2025

I’m not really a fan of this kind of music but geez, Frank’s voice! That commands attention.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 01 2025

A couple of big hits but nothing that really grabs me

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jul 04 2025

There were no pictures of the band on the band. They were a mystery. They played hard. It was very influential for a teen in the 90’s. Every single one of us has sung along to, “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” Too bad most of us didn’t take that to heart.

The Specials by The Specials
Jul 07 2025

Ska is great when done right. When it’s not, it’s just annoying. This is done right.

A Hard Day's Night by Beatles
Jul 21 2025

A thousand years from now, this will one of the albums in their ancient history space museum. Small tentacled school children will stare at the album cover before having lunch of protein slurry.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

I think people get distracted by Ozxy’s shenanigans sometimes that this is an amazing album. So heavy for 1969.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Feb 12 2026

Very good debut album.

London Calling by The Clash
Feb 16 2026

This has to be in the top 20 albums of all time.

Feb 18 2026

I wonder who listens this. What are their lives like? What do they for a living? What do they do on Sunday afternoons? I think know that would be more interesting then this music

Disintegration by The Cure
Feb 23 2026

Usually 80s music sounded terrible. The production was awful drum sounded like they were being recorded in an airplane hanger just terrible and the bands and the musicians from the 60s and 70s did not know how to use it proper. Everyone sounded awkward and ugly. But there are some band like the cure who is able to use that 80 sound like a sharp knife. This is the height of 80s music done very very well.

With The Beatles by Beatles
Mar 05 2026

Pretty much every Beatles album is going to get 6 stars…expect for Yellow Submarine.

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Mar 06 2026

The Stooges? No? Alright. It just didn’t connect with me.

Crocodiles by Echo And The Bunnymen
Mar 11 2026

Competent 80s music.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Mar 12 2026

The guest stars on this album are insane Maybelline Carter, Earl Scruggs however the album is very long

The Clash by The Clash
Mar 13 2026

The start of greatness

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 16 2026

Solid album that I never heard before. Demands another listen.

Rocks by Aerosmith
Mar 18 2026
Metallica by Metallica
Mar 19 2026

The 90’s were not kind to a lot of hair metal bands. It could have been worse for Metallica.

Locust Abortion Technician by Butthole Surfers
Mar 25 2026

I do not like this type of music. At least it was slightly more enjoyable then Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Mar 26 2026

This was a very hard two to give sometimes music can make me almost come to tears, and sometimes gives me nothing at all zero emotional reaction. This is one of those albums. I don’t know why some albums or some music will get me emotional and some do not very strange. This album did not however, I do respect the quality of the album the musician ship it’s top notch, but I did not enjoy it.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Mar 30 2026

“I believe in the Promise Land” I think these words are the antithesis of what Bruce Springsteen is all about. Some people, when they think of him, think of “Born in USA” And think it’s some sort of “USA” rah rah song. And it is but not the way they think think it is. This album is filled with what America really is. The good and the bad. What it is right now is and what it is capable of. Beautiful and sad.

Revolver by Beatles
Mar 31 2026

Some say this is their best album. I’m not sure about that. Maybe. I see myself giving all their albums after Revolver 5 stars… except Yellow Submarine. They tore of the shackles of being a “boy band” and started thinking for themselves.

Elephant by The White Stripes
Apr 01 2026

It’s 2026!and rock n roll is dead. This album might have been one of its last hurrahs.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Apr 02 2026

Listening to the first song I thought this was a German Weird Al. I wish you could give half stars. Terrible.

Drunk by Thundercat
Apr 03 2026

The is a fun album. Not something I would listen to but he is definitely talented.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Apr 07 2026

I like depressing music but not this depressing music. Maybe if I started listening to his in my 20’s it would be a different story.

Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth
Apr 10 2026

Is this the first time hearing this album. Definitely a 3, probably a 4. It’s hard to give an album you listened to once a 4.

Elvis Is Back by Elvis Presley
Apr 15 2026

I think Elvis is a little overrated. I get it, he made a the girls go nuts and made parents nervous. But Little Richard and Chuck Berry did it better.

Apr 16 2026

Terrible early 90’s production. Her voice and conviction is sincere but it sounds dated. This gets a 3 because of Nothing Compares 2 U

Lady Soul by Aretha Franklin
Apr 17 2026

This album is scientifically perfect. All pieces are in the right place. Aretha’s voice comes from another place, deep within everyone’s soul. So deep, most don’t know it’s there, but Aretha does.

Exodus by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Apr 21 2026

Sometimes I think God sends down profits very rarely, but I think occasionally he sends somebody down to try us try and show us the light try and guide us down the path. Johnny Cash is one and I believe Bob Marley is another.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Apr 22 2026

It’s a fun album. A party album. I’m not a huge fan of Swing but this gets you going.

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Apr 23 2026

I’m not familiar with Lam Toro but it sounds like he knows what he is doing.

Cypress Hill by Cypress Hill
Apr 24 2026

90’s hip hop. A category all of its own. I hope there’s more hip hop on the list.

Apr 27 2026

This music will last for a thousand years. Because it was made from the Soul. It came from the depths of the Earth. From hardship. From somewhere that most people can’t understand. It’s real life magic.

Hot Fuss by The Killers
Apr 28 2026

I don’t like this type of music I’m not a fan. But there’s no doubt there’s some huge hits on this album and they know how to write music. It’s very well done very well produced. I’m just not a fan of this type of music.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
May 01 2026

David Bowie is a branch of rock n roll that I just haven’t gone down. I’m still not sure if I want to go down it.

On The Beach by Neil Young
May 04 2026

Neil does what wants. Most Musicians, actors, politicians, YouTubers, tiktokers, serial killers will desperately hold on to fame for as long as possible. They’ll do anything to keep it. They’ll sell their souls. People like Neil Young don’t give a shit about that. That’s when you get great art.

May 05 2026

Yes, this album has Bohemian Rhapsody but the rest of the album is a mess. I have a feeling that a lot of their album are all over the place.

May 07 2026

Production wise, this album sounds extremely outdated. But I can see why some might call him a poet. It’s so sad that he had to die for such silly nonsense like an East/West feud. Imagine all the music he ( and Biggie ) could have made. Sad.

Sulk by The Associates
May 08 2026

This is trash.

Songs The Lord Taught Us by The Cramps
May 13 2026

I can hear the influence in their music. A whole album of this kind of music might get tiresome though

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
May 14 2026

80’s music has the ability to be so boring.

May 15 2026

I wonder if anyone ever does Sunday brunch making brunch for the friends to come over on a beautiful Sunday afternoon and they put on the Apex twin to enjoy with their brunch I don’t think so who listens to this music? Is it still relevant? Does it make any sense? I don’t think anyone’s gonna be listening to this 100 years. It’s kind of boring. It served its purpose.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
May 20 2026

Do you know what is worth than Jazz? White guy jazz.

All Directions by The Temptations
May 22 2026

I didn’t know The Temptations got this funky! Great album!

Arise by Sepultura
May 27 2026

I liked the musicianship but the vocals are grating.

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Jun 17 2026

Nothing about this album excited me.

Caetano Veloso by Caetano Veloso
Jun 25 2026

I wish my Portuguese was better. This is just a cool album.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Jul 01 2026

The Stones released Satanic Majesties Request to complete with Sargent Peppers and it is kinda embarrassing. Nobody talks about. Soon after they released this album as palette cleanser and it started a 10+ year album run of amazing albums. It’s quite an astonishing feat if you ask me

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly
Jul 03 2026

This album is a mess. The vocals are poor and too much organ. They are trying to be a heavy Doors but the Doors suck. No one needs to hear a 16 minute version of Ina Gotta Da Vida.

Funeral by Arcade Fire
Jul 06 2026

It was ok

Make Yourself by Incubus
Jul 16 2026

I bet this album appeared in the used bins in the early thousands there seems to be perhaps maybe three or four bands artist from the 90s that everyone was influenced by and then that influence slowly trickle down to other bands and artists kept getting watering down the watering down and this is one of the most Watertown bands you can find from the 90s they’re probably relegated to sixth or seventh on the bill of a nostalgic 90s act that tours stadium. Sorry not even stadiums amphitheatres in the summer. Nothing redeeming about this.

Kimono My House by Sparks
Jul 22 2026

This sounds like music made by a dude with a pencil thin mustashe. Not my cup of tea.

Jul 23 2026

The British shouldn’t try to rap. It just doesn’t sound right. The songs have too much repetition. It kinda gets on your nerves. I do like the storyline that’s runs through the whole album though. It also gives you glimpse into English life.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jul 27 2026

Beautiful songs. Guys at the height of their collective power. One last official send off. The B side blends the chaos into one long stream of consciousness. It stinks they had to break up.

Jul 29 2026

I don’t think I gave this a fair listen. It was on in the background. It is kinda background music.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Aug 07 2026

It’s kind of a bummer that he died so young. It seems like he had a lot of potential.

Abraxas by Santana
Aug 11 2026

Nice mostly instrumental album. I can see him blowing those hippie’s minds at Woodstock.
