Popular Reviews

Like A Prayer by Madonna

What a time capsule. All the synth, choir, slap bass and choppy guitar feel a touch cheesy now. Lyrics are surprisingly challenging and non pop. I have no doubt it was huge at the time.

The Real Thing by Faith No More

Aww, little baby numetal. So cute.

Aug 13 2025

Some kind of British pop-electric-prog-dance thing. Nothing too special.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Aug 14 2025

Classic Marley. Bluesier than I expected. Not sure how it rates compared to his other works; the only "hit" here is No Woman No Cry.

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Aug 15 2025

Chill acoustic. Didn't grab me, be I liked it.

Disraeli Gears by Cream
Aug 18 2025

Its Clapton, but I didn't dig it. I guess I've never really liked his stuff? Just sounds like a lot of noise to me; maybe its how its mixed. A surprising take given my affinity for most classic rock.

The Infotainment Scan by The Fall
Aug 22 2025

Generic 80s/90s synth pop. Wandering nasal vocals. Not my scene.

The Wildest! by Louis Prima
Aug 25 2025

Where did this come from? This is excellent. Good weird skat, solid groove, thoughtful solos.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Aug 26 2025

I do love Joni, and there's a lot of good ones here.

Ace of Spades by Motörhead
Aug 27 2025

So gritty. These songs go hard, but kind of all sound the same to me.

Entertainment by Gang Of Four
Aug 28 2025

British punk proto ska. Just made me want to listen to the police

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Aug 29 2025

This can't be the same band that made Rumours. All the fire is gone. With exception of the last couple tracks the songs are wandering and listless.

Sep 02 2025

A classic? Hard to tell from passive listening while working. Most of the art is the lyrics, and I'd have to listen again.

What's That Noise? by Coldcut
Sep 04 2025

An eclectic collection of song types. Must have been revolutionary at the time, but feels a bit stale now.

Mothership Connection by Parliament
Sep 05 2025

This is some very funky funk. Excellent party music, but songs drags on a bit for focused listening.

Casanova by The Divine Comedy
Sep 11 2025

Very 90s. Smashmouth-esque voiced by Lord farquad. Quirky yet strangely alluring.

Like A Prayer by Madonna
Sep 12 2025

What a time capsule. All the synth, choir, slap bass and choppy guitar feel a touch cheesy now. Lyrics are surprisingly challenging and non pop. I have no doubt it was huge at the time.

Dummy by Portishead
Sep 15 2025

Sublime. Low key electronica/pop. Reminds me of zero7.

Sep 16 2025

The hits are good, but the rest don't measure up. Generic pop?

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Sep 17 2025

Gritty unvarnished punk.

Marcus Garvey by Burning Spear
Sep 18 2025

Surprising enjoyable. Maybe I needed a laid back album.

Hard Again by Muddy Waters
Sep 22 2025

Tasty blues. But blues is like chocolate to me, just can't eat too much of it.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Sep 23 2025

A retro vibe and strong songcraft.

The Bends by Radiohead
Sep 25 2025

At the time I thought Radiohead was all hype. I do believe I was wrong, though this album doesn't make it to five stars for me.

Transformer by Lou Reed
Sep 29 2025

Creative lyrics, but I don't get it.

Rio by Duran Duran
Sep 30 2025

Pretty good.

Cupid & Psyche 85 by Scritti Politti
Oct 03 2025

A caricature of 80s music. The sounds are good but the content wasn't.

Dire Straits by Dire Straits
Oct 07 2025

I know it's a bit cringe and 100% dad rock, but I have always loved how Mark Knopfler plays guitar.

In Utero by Nirvana
Oct 08 2025

Hardcore grunge tastic meltdown. Tbh I had never listened to anything but the singles. The other tracks are way more hardcore.

The Real Thing by Faith No More
Oct 10 2025

Aww, little baby numetal. So cute.

Oct 14 2025

Proggy enough to have musical depth, rocky enough to be a headbanger. The sweet spot.

Viva Hate by Morrissey
Oct 16 2025

Eh. Never been a big fan of the Smiths. Not entirely sure why.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Oct 17 2025

I have no basis to judge this against.

Djam Leelii by Baaba Maal
Oct 22 2025

Not bad, but kinda slow paced.
