Popular Reviews

I question the inclusion of the album. Im old enough to remember the George Micheal Wham! days, and the superstar solo stuff, but this record just isn't good, let alone great.

Raw Power by The Stooges
Jul 04 2025

A classic, not a skippable song on the record. 10/10.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Jul 05 2025

I can't say I'd listen to this again, or that any track really stood out to me, although Long Promised Road is probably the highlight here. For me, the production sound was phenomenal. The songs didnt even have to do it for me, I loved the production enough that it kept me engaged.

Deja Vu by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Jul 06 2025

Mah, I was never a huge fan of these guys, but Woodstock is still a banger

Kind Of Blue by Miles Davis
Jul 07 2025

I've tried to "get" this record so many times. Having it play in the background while I do other things, playing it while driving, just sitting and focusing on the music as it plays, I just don't get it. It doesn't resonate with him. I understand while Miles gets the respect he does, I understand technically why this record gets the adulation it does, but I just don't feel it.

Violator by Depeche Mode
Jul 08 2025

Classic Depeche Mode album for sure, and as the kids say, its a vibe. I don't know if deserves all the praise it gets, but its a solid record. Blue Dress is the only song that is glaringly bad.

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 09 2025

I grew up with Bruce's music in the background. Cars, girls, working hard, and getting out of a small town, that's always 90% of this catalog. This is no different.

Jul 10 2025

I question the inclusion of the album. Im old enough to remember the George Micheal Wham! days, and the superstar solo stuff, but this record just isn't good, let alone great.

Jul 11 2025

The record 100% Summer in 1970's Brooklyn vibes. And that's not a bad thing. My 2 star rating is purely based on relistenabilty. The album is solid, front to back, but its just not my thing, but damn, this has such a strong feeling to it.

Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen
Jul 12 2025

Not a fan of the Boss, but this record is full of hits. Hits that, oddly enough, I don't mind terribly.

Trio by Dolly Parton
Jul 14 2025

Definitely not in my listening wheelhouse, but there's something really solid about this album. I'm not sure if it should be on the 1001 list, but that's just me.

Blunderbuss by Jack White
Jul 15 2025

My opinon of Jack White, whether it be solo, or with any of his bands is that its always style over substance. Thats not to say he's not talented or that he can't write a good song, because he is and he can. Its just over styled and a forced element of "cool" is i ejected in every song, if that makes sense.

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Jul 17 2025

Over the years, I've heard of Nick Drake, but never actually heard any music, not knowingly at least. So, I'm sure what my expectations were, but the record flat out boring. There's no real dynamics to any of the songs, which actually makes it tough to get through.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Jul 18 2025

My wife has been a huge MA fan for forever, so I know all this tracks pretty well. My issue with it, and trip-hop in general, is thats no real highs and lows. Its all pretty much right the middle and very samey sounding.

Liege And Lief by Fairport Convention
Jul 20 2025

Folk is not really my thing and this album didn't turn me around. This tough for me to get through.

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Jul 21 2025

It's ok, but I've had my fill of folk and singer singer writer stuff over the past 2 weeks, so I might be a little biased.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Jul 22 2025

Depeche Mode doing Depeche Mode music. It's fine, having gwon up in the 80s and 90s, this both childhood radio memories and Goth Dance Club vibes for me.

Talk Talk Talk by The Psychedelic Furs
Jul 23 2025

Yeah, New Wave, Post Punk Euro pop rock. I've only heard Pretty In Pink before listening to this but its pretty much same as all the othe bands of the ilk during the early 80's

Vol. 4 by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025
Metal Box by Public Image Ltd.
Jul 25 2025

This album objectively sucks. I know the history, it doesn't matter, it still sucks.

Imagine by John Lennon
Jul 26 2025
The Man Machine by Kraftwerk
Jul 27 2025

I legit have no idea anyone finds any enjoyment out of this.

Kid A by Radiohead
Jul 29 2025
A Northern Soul by The Verve
Jul 30 2025

Boring Radiohead and Oasis inspired 90's Britpop.
