Popular Reviews

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young

Always liked the quiet, folksy stuff more than the "grungy" things he did later...

Abbey Road by Beatles

Simply one of the best albums of all times. You need to listen to it multiple times to discover it in full and still you will find something new.

Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke

One classic song and the rest kind of average but still fun to listen to.

All Ratings (285)

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Jun 02 2025

Nice songs, terrible tremolo

War by U2
Jun 04 2025
Rock 'N Soul by Solomon Burke
Jun 16 2025

One classic song and the rest kind of average but still fun to listen to.

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden
Jun 17 2025

Obviously a classic, but in the lookback nothing special, really dusty old fashioned hardrock, would not even call it metal except for some ball busted screams.

Logical Progression by LTJ Bukem
Jun 18 2025

Did not make it through. Had just the remixes but not my cup of tea. D&B.

Electric Warrior by T. Rex
Jun 19 2025

Really great album with very good production for that time.

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jun 24 2025

Has some hits but the rest is pretty mediocre.

2112 by Rush
Jun 25 2025
Fetch The Bolt Cutters by Fiona Apple
Jun 26 2025

Really great album which has a wide range of styles, songs, nice lyrics and melodies.

Younger Than Yesterday by The Byrds
Jun 27 2025

Great songwriting and for that time even greater innovations. Same level as the Beatles.

Abbey Road by Beatles
Jun 30 2025

Simply one of the best albums of all times. You need to listen to it multiple times to discover it in full and still you will find something new.

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction
Jul 04 2025

Pretty nice and innovative with crazy lyrics and awsome rhythms.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Jul 07 2025

One hit and the rest is quite boring.

Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath
Jul 08 2025

Well, what is left to say...legendary.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Jul 11 2025

Legendary album by a legendary artist. Blueprint for so many punk bands by music and attitude.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Jul 15 2025

Absolutely astonishing album, so many rhythms, beautiful soundscapes, styles of songs and fabulous arrangements. In my top 10 of all time.

Street Signs by Ozomatli
Jul 16 2025

Could not really listen to the album but from what I have heard this was a little bit chaotic and not really my style, could be nice though for people who like a mashup of ska, oriental style, electro, hiphop etc.

Harvest by Neil Young
Jul 17 2025

Great album and still nice to listen to.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
Jul 18 2025

Well, if you are really into bongos...

The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 21 2025

Well not much to say about this. Started the whole electronic music scene basically. Like the german version better though.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 22 2025

It is a great album with classic, iconic songs, but there are songs and lyrics which did not age so well, maybe it needs some more decades to make it "it fitted for its time"...

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

RIP Ozzy and thanks for this fabulous album which helped to start a completely new genre of music.

Sulk by The Associates
Jul 25 2025

What a bunch of crap...

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Jul 29 2025

Not the best of Bowie but really nice!

Jul 30 2025

Pretty basic.

Nice.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Aug 01 2025

Nice album for grown ups

25 by Adele
Aug 04 2025
Aug 06 2025

Never listened to them but they are quite cool! Not fitting in any category but lot of groove and nice melodies.

Be by Common
Aug 07 2025

Wow...

Atomizer by Big Black
Aug 13 2025

Great album, great band, great producer.

Exit Planet Dust by The Chemical Brothers
Aug 22 2025

Well, some nice beats but in the end very conform over album length.

Revolver by Beatles
Aug 25 2025

Well, it is the Beatles but it is not their best album for me, great songs on it but sometimes quite weird and all over the place.

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Aug 26 2025

Nice album of the godfather of grunge who shows why he is called like that. If you don't like his voice you will give this a 1 start, otherwise you cannot deny his capability of writing great songs.

Aug 27 2025

I always hated tainted love which ran on every party and did not fit my music taste every so I am biased completely but I cannot listen to this longer than a few minutes...

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Aug 28 2025

Nice rock album, kind of cabaret style with entertaining lyrics which sometimes did not age well...

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Sep 02 2025

Great album among many of Elliot Smith. What a loss.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Sep 04 2025

Well...not really into this stuff

Giant Steps by The Boo Radleys
Sep 05 2025

Kind of exchangable. Did not catch me,

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Sep 08 2025

Constant cursing and dissing but I am not a hiphop guy anyway, haha...

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
Sep 09 2025

Fabulous album but much bluesy stuff which is still great but not as innovative or complex as their later works.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Sep 10 2025

Well, the voice is really something to get used to, especially in the first song, but the music is awesome and the lyrics quite focused on transsexuality and mental health. Liked to listen to it a lot.

Sep 11 2025

Well, certainly some hip hop classic but the lyrics aged not well at all...misogynic gangsta shit...some political sprinkles and lot of swearing....what has become of ICE T and his announcements on stage recently shows that this has not changed much...

Moss Side Story by Barry Adamson
Sep 12 2025

Basically sounds and beats...more a film music and very boring

Stardust by Willie Nelson
Sep 15 2025

Yeah, oldie and goldie but kind of lame with some nice songs.

Moon Safari by Air
Sep 16 2025

Smooth and great. What else is to say here. Classic.

Boston by Boston
Sep 17 2025

Nice one. Not great but not bad.

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Sep 23 2025

Of course one of the great jazz legends. Not so great as giant steps or blue train though.

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Sep 26 2025

One of the best stones albums, raw, bluesy, not the big hits but so many hidden gems.

My Generation by The Who
Sep 29 2025

We all know the song...and the rest is unkown for good reasons...

Out of Step by Minor Threat
Oct 01 2025

Great band, not their best album though, still good.

The Pleasure Principle by Gary Numan
Oct 02 2025

Dark, progressive for its time but in the end to monotonous.

Figure 8 by Elliott Smith
Oct 08 2025

So much talent, beautiful melodies, simply one of the greatest....

Roots by Sepultura
Oct 09 2025

Certainly one of the classics and one of the refreshing attempts to bring new ideas metal which works quite well. Especially the rhythms and drum beats are great.

Horses by Patti Smith
Oct 13 2025

Raw, progressive, energetic and ahead of its time.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Oct 15 2025

Might be great music to some people...

Rum Sodomy & The Lash by The Pogues
Oct 16 2025

Phew. The legacy of the Pogues is huge especially in Ireland but not really for me...

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Oct 17 2025

This is the weird Tom Waits. I really like it but not as much as the classic one....

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Oct 21 2025

Nice, calm, full of beautiful melodies.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Oct 24 2025

Well...mh...don't know what to say...maybe another state of mind would help?

Goo by Sonic Youth
Oct 30 2025
Play by Moby
Nov 03 2025

Nov 04 2025

Simply one of the greatest...a milestone.

Nov 05 2025

Not as good as the debut but still a very good album.

Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Nov 06 2025

Kind of nice but a little basic.

Trans Europe Express by Kraftwerk
Nov 07 2025

Certainly the pioneers of electronic music, techno whatsoever but not my thing...

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Nov 17 2025

Great album. Some innovative stuff, some you have already heard but overall they just have their own style which is really nice.

Alien Lanes by Guided By Voices
Nov 19 2025

Nice, nerdy and quirky.

21 by Adele
Nov 21 2025

Hits, hits, hits

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Nov 25 2025

Did not need the farts at the end.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 27 2025

Didn't know That'll be the day and Oh boy were from them but one certainly knows those songs...

Dusty In Memphis by Dusty Springfield
Nov 28 2025

The strings starting....woahhhh

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Dec 01 2025

Always liked the quiet, folksy stuff more than the "grungy" things he did later...

The definition of hard rock.

Brown Sugar by D'Angelo
Dec 10 2025

Phew...slick and silky but not my case...

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Dec 11 2025

Nice, quite different atmosphere of music from which you know as a "western" music listener but totally relaxing and takes you on a journey.

Dookie by Green Day
Dec 12 2025

Surely had its part in starting the punk comeback in the 90s. Nice album.

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Dec 15 2025

Iconic songs but some lame stuff too.

Thriller by Michael Jackson
Dec 17 2025

Not one of the best albums of all time but one of the most iconic.

I Against I by Bad Brains
Dec 18 2025

Great great great.

Heavy Weather by Weather Report
Dec 19 2025

Nice album but solo after solo after solo after ...

Dec 23 2025

Phenomenal performance. So intimate and clear.

Dig Your Own Hole by The Chemical Brothers
Dec 24 2025

Nice album but the really good songs are rare.

At Fillmore East by The Allman Brothers Band
Dec 29 2025

This album has more solos than its playtime...man...neverending and a little annoying...

Jan 08 2026

Well, Bob Dylan as raw as it gets, a trip to the past but certainly not his best album. Pretty good though.

1984 by Van Halen
Jan 12 2026

Exceptional guitar play of course but the songs are really outdated dadrock, phew...

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Jan 13 2026

One of the grunge giants but I liked their second album Jar of flies much more.

What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 14 2026

Nice and beautiful album of one of the greatest soul musicians.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jan 19 2026

Some of the greatest songs of the stones but also some fillers.

At Newport 1960 by Muddy Waters
Jan 20 2026

It doesn't get muddier than this...

The Yes Album by Yes
Jan 21 2026

Gneedling around...might be technically great but is too cheesy...

Scum by Napalm Death
Jan 22 2026

A milestone in brutality and attitude. Also technically quite versatile.

Odelay by Beck
Jan 26 2026

Whammy, groovy, laid back...nice!

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Jan 27 2026

Well, not bad but not my cup of tea. Nice background music though.

S&M by Metallica
Jan 28 2026

Epic sound, epic songs, epic album. They really put their best effort into this and you can hear that they had great fun playing.

Honky Tonk Heroes by Waylon Jennings
Jan 29 2026

Some nice stuff but in the end outdated, dusty old songs.

Axis: Bold As Love by Jimi Hendrix
Jan 30 2026

There will never be another guitarist like him...as this fits for almost any guitarist, nothing special, but he was...

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Feb 02 2026

Nice and of course ahead of their time kind of.

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 03 2026

Phenomenal album. Still great after all this time. The voice, the arrangements, the melodies....

Transformer by Lou Reed
Feb 06 2026

Great album. Lyrics are so outstanding and how could that be played on the radio at that time? Weird...

Scissor Sisters by Scissor Sisters
Feb 11 2026

Fine glamrock album with lots of little gems, musically and lyrically.

Cut by The Slits
Feb 12 2026

Surely revolutionary feministic and great at the time but nowadays hard to listen to...

Imagine by John Lennon
Feb 16 2026

One of the great personalities in music history. Much humour, much heart, great music.

You Want It Darker by Leonard Cohen
Feb 17 2026

Nice music for a massage...but totally missing any relevance...

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 18 2026

Old...and sounds like it.

#1 Record by Big Star
Feb 19 2026

One hit wonder but the rest is not so really cool stuff...like T Rex better

White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Feb 20 2026

Great, rough, old fashioned but at the same time so fresh and modern.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Feb 23 2026

Classic rock album which defined the path for a lot other bands to follow. The roughness and versatility at the same time are awesome.

Sticky Fingers by The Rolling Stones
Feb 24 2026

One of their best and most iconic albums.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Feb 27 2026

Absolute "grunge" giants. Throughout great songs and an incredible atmosphere.

Mar 02 2026

I know this is supposed to be a legend but these lyrics could come from a 13 year old hormone monster...damn stupid bitch hoe my big dick crap...

Aja by Steely Dan
Mar 03 2026

Production, music, lyrics, all top notch.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Mar 04 2026

Well..the man is cleary kind of absent...but still some good tunes and fun to listen to, especially when you hear that the band bursts into laughter from time to time. Seems like they had fun recording.

Justified by Justin Timberlake
Mar 06 2026

Some nice moments but in the end not my stuff. Might be nice for people who like pop.

Mar 10 2026

One of the greatest artists of all time. Hurt and Personal Jesus alone would make this a great album. This fragile voice...

Mar 12 2026

Epic album, epic songs. Great art and artists. Design..the whole package. Really like this.

Come Find Yourself by Fun Lovin' Criminals
Mar 13 2026

Epic album. Still fresh and cool today.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Mar 16 2026

Nice soothing music. Great voice. But really all the same style the whole album.

Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Mar 19 2026

Only knew the hits but wow, this is a really great album...if you like pop music...

The Coral by The Coral
Mar 20 2026

Some nice songs but overall...well..

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Mar 23 2026

Great album. Had this rough parts later washed away by smooth pop.

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 24 2026

Apart from the classic Papa was a rolling stone, some really cheesy music but also some funky highlights so ambiguous.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Mar 25 2026

Nice metal album. Nothing spectacular though.

Blur by Blur
Mar 26 2026

One of the great britpop albums if not the greatest.

Ramones by Ramones
Mar 30 2026

When it is about punk, this is the album you need to listen to.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Mar 31 2026

Sure, the hits...but the rest is partly unbearable. Such cheesy stuff...

Gentlemen by The Afghan Whigs
Apr 02 2026

Really great album. Kind of rough, beautiful, melancholic...

Roger the Engineer by The Yardbirds
Apr 03 2026

Legendary band but this is really basic old school. Not ahead of its time...

B-52's by The B-52's
Apr 06 2026

Great album. Technically so clean which gives it a modern drive as the songs have an old school style.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Apr 07 2026

Nice but not too nice...oldschool rock stuff...

Suicide by Suicide
Apr 08 2026

Maybe ahead of its time but the time is yet to come...

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 09 2026

Nice pop album.

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder
Apr 13 2026

If it would not be for Superstition, this would be much worse. Elevatormusic...

Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Apr 15 2026

Raw, oldschool, great but too simple and basic.

Very by Pet Shop Boys
Apr 16 2026

This kind of popmusic should be restricted to people who want to hear it and not be heard by anyone else...horrible.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 20 2026

Paul Simon makes it possible you listen to music styles you don't like but you like the songs he makes...son of a bitch...

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
Apr 21 2026

Pretty nice album. Lots of styles, lots of energy.

Manassas by Stephen Stills
Apr 23 2026

Some nice blues but in the end...steel guitar...who wants that?

Zombie by Fela Kuti
Apr 24 2026

One of the great musicians who brought african culture to the world. His own guitar style and rhythms still sound great today.

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Apr 27 2026

One of the greatest albums of a unique band. Noone sounds like them. Not until this day.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Apr 28 2026

Nicely produced, good songs...what else to say?

Felt Mountain by Goldfrapp
Apr 29 2026

Nice background music...

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Apr 30 2026

What an album at that time and still great. Extended the view on different styles in music.

Low-Life by New Order
May 01 2026

Kinda nice...

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
May 05 2026

It's Ray Charles, what else is to say. Great album, not all the hits but pretty nice songs.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
May 06 2026

One of the albums which is totally timeless. Each song stands out and is still relevant.

May 07 2026

Credit for being the inventor of the term "Ambient". Good music to work to. As expected quite calm and monotone.

Debut by Björk
May 11 2026

What a fabulous debut album. Weird, beautiful, innovative.

Live At The Regal by B.B. King
May 12 2026

This is one of the blues greats but this is not the great blues...

Bad Company by Bad Company
May 13 2026

Old white men making old white men dadrock. Terrible.

Le Tigre by Le Tigre
May 15 2026

Nice one but a little bit out of date nowadays. Still fun to listen to though.

Cloud Nine by The Temptations
May 19 2026

Sweet.

May 20 2026

Really nice album but I like All Day Music more. This seems quite dark to me.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
May 21 2026

Well, this is not really my type of music but I must admin it is well produced. And it propably is liked by people who are into this kind of stuff...did not make it through the remixes though ;)

Eagles by Eagles
May 22 2026
Pearl by Janis Joplin
May 25 2026

Undoubfully one of the great singers of the hippie era. Nice album.

May 27 2026

Doodleing around for me, genius for others...who knows?

Broken English by Marianne Faithfull
May 28 2026

Kinda weird music in between really great songs, don't know what to do about it...

Graceland by Paul Simon
May 29 2026

What a great album introducing new music from another continent as well as merging this to old tradtitional stuff from the west (if you are from the west of course)...

Jun 01 2026

What a great album. Although it has the sexist touches, kind of twisted so fine for me...apart from that great beats, great lyrics, nice overall...

Cosmo's Factory by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jun 02 2026

All the hits...what else there is to say. If you like CCR, you love this.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Jun 04 2026

One of the top 10 albums of all time for me. Shaped music and political messages in music until today.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jun 08 2026

Well...the boss...not really my thing but nice songs.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Jun 09 2026

Not one of their best albums but at that time it opened the view on "crossover" music to a total new level.

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Jun 12 2026

Fantastic guitarist. The songs are complex but nice to listen to. Influencal. Not for anyone though as it sounds quite dusty but it is just old stuff...

Grace by Jeff Buckley
Jun 15 2026

Iconic. Great voice, great arrangements. Fragile and beatiful.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jun 16 2026

Yeah it is the iconic song but apart from that, pretty lame.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jun 17 2026

Nice at that time but now seems a bit old and outdated.

Street Life by The Crusaders
Jun 18 2026

Boring as fuck...70s porn music.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Jun 22 2026

Fits right in the period and was going under the radar but is a really great album.

Low by David Bowie
Jun 23 2026

Kind of strange album with pop / rock and ambient style songs. But it is David Bowie, what could go wrong...

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Jun 24 2026

Classic reggae. Well done...

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Jun 29 2026

Well...bunch of amateurs trying out to write an opera...

Parachutes by Coldplay
Jun 30 2026

Easy pop but good one at that time...now you cannot listen to their stuff anymore...

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jul 01 2026

Great album. Everyone knows it....

Only By The Night by Kings of Leon
Jul 03 2026

Fine album with hits...but nothing more.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Jul 06 2026

One of the greats. Has some dull blues on it though...

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Jul 07 2026

Wowee...what an album. Great songs, great lyrics. Legendary...

Lam Toro by Baaba Maal
Jul 08 2026

Refreshing african pop with some reggae beats in between, really nice!

Call of the Valley by Shivkumar Sharma
Jul 09 2026

Very versatile playing. Indian music is always some experience. Nice!

Ellington at Newport by Duke Ellington
Jul 14 2026

One of the greats. This album totally catches the spirit and the charme of these old live performances.

White Light by Gene Clark
Jul 15 2026

Kind of boring hippie music. The mood is always so sugar sweet melancholic but not in a nice way...

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Jul 16 2026

Great album. great band. This is certainly not for everyone as it is quite ambient and quite and weird somehow too but full of beautiful melodies and sounds.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Jul 21 2026

One of the "great albums" which just won't make it into my own list...

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Jul 23 2026

Phenomenal voice and for that time astounding sound quality. Intimate atmosphere. Great document of that time.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Aug 13 2026

If you are into blues, this is a must listen to. If you are not into blues, then too....

The Libertines by The Libertines
Aug 14 2026

Classic album in sense of own style but perfectly fitting into the Zeitgeist.
