Popular Reviews

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead

That was unpleasant and weird. Maybe I haven't done enough drugs?

The Libertines by The Libertines

Couldn't do it. The singing was horrendous. 1 star.

Amnesiac by Radiohead

Yuck. Not interested.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Jul 18 2025

That was unpleasant and weird. Maybe I haven't done enough drugs?

Hot Buttered Soul by Isaac Hayes
Jul 20 2025

A little too buttery for me. But definitely better than the grateful dead.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Jul 21 2025

Enjoyable listening. A couple of good/classic songs. 4+ stars, but not quite a 5.

Moondance by Van Morrison
Jul 22 2025

I always confused Van Morrison with Morrisey. Now I know the difference. This jumped right into it on the first song, I had to check that I didn't click a few songs in. Usually there's a bit of instrumental, but not this one. It wasn't bad, but I prefer other late 60s/early 70s albums. 3 stars

Achtung Baby by U2
Jul 23 2025

Yep. That was U2. Still not a fan. 2 stars.

Paranoid by Black Sabbath
Jul 24 2025

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. It was not as heavy as the heavy metal as always seemed. I was also surprised by how many I knew, mostly from Rock Band. 4/5 stars. I might listen to this again. And I wouldn't turn it off if I heard it.

Jul 25 2025

This was okay. Nothing obnoxious but nothing to write home about. 3 stars.

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones
Jul 26 2025

Lyrics are good, nice voice. Songs all sound similar. Good music for a sad rainy day, but I'm not in the mood to be depressed. Mabel's ranking: 5 stars My ranking: 3 stars

The Man Who by Travis
Jul 27 2025

It was fine. Definitely sounded like early 2000s and apparently on here for being ground breaking in that style. So, there you go. 3 stars.

Jul 28 2025

I don't like his voice. It grates on me. Could use more harmonica... Said no one. Ever. 2 stars.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jul 29 2025

I couldn't listen to most of this album due to little ears. The popular songs I knew. So, at least there is that. 2 stars. These boys should wash their mouths out with soap.

The Sounds Of India by Ravi Shankar
Jul 31 2025

Oof. I would not have made it through this except I used it as a soundtrack for a video game. I could not have listened just for listening's sake. It was interesting but too much. 2 stars.

The Libertines by The Libertines
Aug 01 2025

Couldn't do it. The singing was horrendous. 1 star.

Band On The Run by Paul McCartney and Wings
Aug 02 2025

It was okay. Not bad, but not groundbreaking or something incredibly enjoyable. Sounded like Paul McCartney.

Skylarking by XTC
Aug 03 2025

I enjoyed this a lot more than is expected to. The flow from song to song was smooth and the hooks were catchy. It also made me think of "Secret Tunnel" from Avatar the Last Airbender. Just the voice and the instrumentation reminded me. Wouldn't have been surprised if it was a track on this album. 4/5 stars

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Aug 04 2025

I listened to the first song, but couldn't listen to the rest. I love Jesus and it didn't sit well with me. Musically interesting, lyrically couldn't do it.

Aug 06 2025

Definitely better than I thought it was going to be. But I don't think I'd never pick it back up. Solid 3 stars.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Aug 07 2025

That was a lot more folky than I would have guessed. It was fine. 3 stars.

Parallel Lines by Blondie
Aug 08 2025

Thoroughly enjoyed that. 2000s emo/punk's grandparents. 4 stars.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Aug 09 2025

Solid pop album. 4 stars.

The Slider by T. Rex
Aug 10 2025

Good for weed eating, not as pleasant for mowing. But overall, enjoyable. 4 stars

Ramones by Ramones
Aug 11 2025

Everything sounded the same. The only way I knew the next song started was because of the few seconds delay between songs. 3 stars.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Aug 12 2025

Jazzy. Funky. Background music. 3 stars.

Joan Baez by Joan Baez
Aug 13 2025

This was okay. Folksy, but that seemed to be a given. I personally didn't hate it and it had a few good songs, but I won't put it in my regular rotation for listening. 3 stars.

Superunknown by Soundgarden
Aug 16 2025

Enjoyable music, singing not bad, a little hard to understand, but that may just be listening for the first time. Didn't think I liked grunge, but perhaps I was wrong. 4 stars.

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Aug 17 2025

My, my, how the Mary Poppins penguins have fallen. Jolly Holiday to video game music. It was not the worst I've listened to, but it was weird and I'd be okay not listening to it again. 2 stars

The Coral by The Coral
Aug 18 2025

I liked that. 4 stars. Need to investigate further.

Aug 19 2025

Didn't care for muse in high school. Don't care for muse in my late 30s. I mean... It was fine, but not anything spectacular. 3 stars.

Aug 20 2025

This just made me want to watch Napoleon Dynamite again. But other than that - meh. It all kind of sounds the same. Napoleon Dynamite - 5 stars This album - 3 stars

Calenture by The Triffids
Aug 21 2025

Well... That was the 80s. 3 stars.

Heroes by David Bowie
Aug 23 2025

Meh. Kind of bland outside of the popular songs. And even those are a little bland. 3 stars.

Deserter's Songs by Mercury Rev
Aug 24 2025

I feel like the Venn diagram of people who like steampunk and this album is a circle. I don't like steampunk. 2 stars.

Horses by Patti Smith
Aug 25 2025

I have listened to this before I died. I do not feel like it made a big difference to my life having listened to this. 3 stars.

Ready To Die by The Notorious B.I.G.
Aug 26 2025

As not a fan of rap I could at least understand what he was saying. It is not that I dislike the concept of rap and this one was rather enjoyable, but I can't listen to things with that many bad words. So, for that reason... 2 stars.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Aug 27 2025

This is how I imagined a West Coast college sounded in the 1960s. 3 stars.

Parklife by Blur
Aug 31 2025

This was very British. Not in a bad way, just not my cup of tea... Get it? Lolz. 3 stars

Something/Anything? by Todd Rundgren
Sep 01 2025

I liked the first half, the second half got weird. First half 4 stars, overall 3.

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Sep 02 2025

Meh. 3 stars.

Arular by M.I.A.
Sep 03 2025

That was an experience. 2 stars.

Deep Purple In Rock by Deep Purple
Sep 06 2025

This is what my head sounds like when I don't take my medication. Noisy and discombobulated. 2 stars.

D by White Denim
Sep 07 2025
Faith by George Michael
Sep 08 2025
Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Sep 11 2025

This sounded like podcast music. I kept expecting an ad for better help with a 10% off code. 2 stars

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Sep 13 2025
Red Headed Stranger by Willie Nelson
Sep 20 2025

Country is fine. I don't like Willie Nelson specifically. Just want that fact known. 3 stars for the music. 0 stars for Willie.

Closer by Joy Division
Sep 21 2025
OK by Talvin Singh
Oct 15 2025
Vento De Maio by Elis Regina
Oct 17 2025

I didn't understand a word she said, but her voice was nice and it was a nice arrangement.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Oct 18 2025

I'm a little biased. Had this cd in high school.

1977 by Ash
Oct 20 2025
Ten by Pearl Jam
Oct 21 2025

Not a pearl jam fan, but I can understand people who are.

Oar by Alexander 'Skip' Spence
Oct 26 2025
Space Ritual by Hawkwind
Nov 02 2025

This was a trip. Parts were great parts were trash.

Want One by Rufus Wainwright
Nov 07 2025
Rubber Soul by Beatles
Nov 11 2025

Not my fav Beatles album. Could definitely hear the sitar influence so that was cool.

The voice was hard for me to get past.

Darklands by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 27 2025
Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Dec 07 2025
Mott by Mott The Hoople
Dec 12 2025
Sign 'O' The Times by Prince
Dec 13 2025

Better than I thought it was going to be, but still not a Prince fan.

Hejira by Joni Mitchell
Dec 17 2025
The Only Ones by The Only Ones
Dec 21 2025

I don't like a whiney singing voice. Or really any whining voice.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Jan 19 2026

I don't know what I was expecting, but it wasn't this. Not bad, but not great.

Treasure by Cocteau Twins
Jan 21 2026

This just added to the noise in my head and in my house. 2 stars.

Feb 22 2026
Da Capo by Love
Feb 23 2026

For psychedelic rock it could have been a lot worse.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Feb 24 2026

It was fine. That's all.

Talking Heads 77 by Talking Heads
Mar 14 2026

I like a little bit of talking heads. But a whole album was a bit too much for me.

Remedy by Basement Jaxx
Mar 20 2026
Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Mar 21 2026

Usually I don't enjoy live albums, but this one was an exception. 4 stars.

McCartney by Paul McCartney
Mar 25 2026

This feels like it is on here just because it is Paul McCartney. It's not bad, but is it something I HAVE to listen to before I die? Probably not. 3 stars.

Amnesiac by Radiohead
Mar 28 2026

Yuck. Not interested.

Tommy by The Who
Mar 29 2026
Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
