Popular Reviews

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths

Not a fan. Boring vocals and instruments. Not "catchy" hooks. No progress through the songs. Feels like a jam session with random moany vocals over top.

Van Halen by Van Halen

Excellent album. All the VH ones are great

All Ratings (169)

Bert Jansch by Bert Jansch
Aug 13 2025

Good folk-classical acoustic guitar. Nothing "catchy" but great passive background listening music. Good guitar to study for learning. Some classic country sounds. Angie is an all guitar track that is good. All short <3.5min songs.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Aug 14 2025

Not a fan. Boring vocals and instruments. Not "catchy" hooks. No progress through the songs. Feels like a jam session with random moany vocals over top.

Music for the Masses by Depeche Mode
Aug 15 2025

Already heard most of the album. Good 80's electronic.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
Aug 18 2025

A good live album with a bunch of good older hits.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Aug 20 2025

A decent British pop/rock album. I recognized “Alright” from some ads in the past. Nothing else too memorable. 3/5 would passively listen to.

Electric Prunes by The Electric Prunes
Aug 21 2025

Some ok songs but some sound like they belong on a kids tv show. A bit odd. Not my kind of album.

Lust For Life by Iggy Pop
Aug 26 2025

Decent album. Heard the passenger before. Definitely the best track. Keeping this album but not something I would listen to often.

Spiderland by Slint
Aug 27 2025

Boring overall. Lyrics were washed out and nonsense. Music wasn't interesting

The Bends by Radiohead
Aug 28 2025

Not bad. I already had this album. It is decent the whole way through, no real big good songs but a good listen.

Bug by Dinosaur Jr.
Aug 29 2025

Album began ok. Last two songs were just annoying noise. "Don't" was terrible noise and "Keep the Glove" became noise as well. Not very memorable, but overall listenable.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Sep 01 2025

Already had this album. La Grange is a favorite of mine.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Sep 02 2025

Had this album already. Some great songs and popular hits. Easy to listen to.

Moving Pictures by Rush
Sep 03 2025

Probably Rush’s best album. Not a big Rush fan but this has Limelight, YYZ, and Tom S Sawyer.

Sep 04 2025

Ok album. At times it sounded like a movie soundtrack. I din not like River of Orchids (1st track) very odd and at times annoying. The rest was just there, not very good or bad.

Siembra by Willie Colón & Rubén Blades
Sep 05 2025

Its decent. Salsa/spanish music that isn't my favorite but was an ok listen throughout. Would be fine to hear in a restaurant.

One of their better albums. Not a big rush fan but this has limelight, yyz, and tom sawyer.

Sep 11 2025

Great album. Starts out great with Immigrant song. Overall enjoyable.

Sep 15 2025

It was ok. Mostly forget it by the time I wrote this so not very memorable or bad.

Sep 17 2025

I already had this album and listen to it often. Excellent start to finish with some of his best hits.

Duck Stab/Buster & Glen by The Residents
Sep 18 2025

This might be the weirdest and worst album I have ever heard. Like some kind of horror kids music with weird screeching and nonsense lyrics. Not sure instruments were even used. Just awful.

Songs Of Love And Hate by Leonard Cohen
Sep 19 2025

Kind of boring throughout. Good acoustic guitar and vocals but seemed overall ramble and pointless.

The Genius Of Ray Charles by Ray Charles
Sep 22 2025

Great piano, vocals, and lyrics the whole way through. Easy to put on and listen to over dinner or a time to relax

Dire Straits by Dire Straits

Already had this album. A nice easy listen. None of their big hits but all clearly their style.

Sep 24 2025

Boston by Boston
Oct 21 2025

Excellent debut album from Boston. Basically perfect.

Oct 22 2025

Pretty good start to finish. Tempo of all songs being similar can get monotonous when listening through the full album.

Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine
Oct 23 2025

Nothing memorable. Some songs felt very repetitive and drab/annoying and i felt like skipping them. Deleted it

Station To Station by David Bowie
Oct 24 2025

Golden years and station to station were the bigger hits from this album. Overall consistent good music. Not an album with Bowie's biggest hits, but good start to end.

Some of their hits, good overall

L.A. Woman by The Doors
Oct 28 2025

Jack Takes the Floor by Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Oct 30 2025

Too odd old-school country like. Not into it.

Nov 03 2025

Not overly great. I like some Bob Dylan and his music writing skills are good. Usually prefer covers of his music.

Achtung Baby by U2
Nov 04 2025

It's ok. Never enjoyed U2. Repetitive sounds, guitar and christian rock type vibes.

Live / Dead by Grateful Dead
Nov 05 2025

People seem to love or hate the Grateful Dead. I’m not a fan.

Chirping Crickets by Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Nov 06 2025

Some good 50s rock with a few songs I have heard before. Keeping the album

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Nov 07 2025

I have heard "Movin on up" many times before. Good song. The rest of the album got a bit strange and not very exciting. I won't be keeping the album.

War by U2
Nov 10 2025

Still not a fan of U2. They’re just ok

Van Halen by Van Halen
Nov 11 2025

Excellent album. All the VH ones are great

Nov 24 2025

Nov 25 2025

Great album with great songs. Can be a bit drawn out to listen to the full album straight. Has many hits.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Jan 14 2026

This was painful

In Rainbows by Radiohead

Another rather bland Radiohead album of Whitney forgettable nonsense. Still don’t get it.

Feb 06 2026

Feb 09 2026

Was this The Specials or the Borings?

Too Rye Ay by Dexys Midnight Runners
Feb 12 2026

Come On Eileen is great. The rest was ok and not as memorable

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Feb 17 2026

Great musicianship, but I still can't really get into Jazz. It felt like random blips of scales and no real cohesiveness. Some parts better than others, but I found myself eager for it to end.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Feb 23 2026

Decent album A bit hard to listen to start to finish (too much fast tempo at once). Some of their greater songs too.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Feb 24 2026

Great album. The long drawl mid-song in Exhausted is annoying but the rest is just solid rock.

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Feb 25 2026

I had heard "I believe in a thing called love" before but not the rest of this album. It was pretty good. Some were very "AC/DC" sounding.

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Feb 27 2026

It was ok. Nothing too memorable or catchy. Nothing that made me want to skip songs

Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Mar 04 2026

Violator by Depeche Mode
Mar 05 2026

Pretty good start to finish with some hits

S&M by Metallica
Mar 06 2026

A bunch of hits live. good album

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Mar 09 2026

Actually was great musically. I have no idea what the lyrics are and felt they were too constant rather than rhythmic with the music. I wouldn't listen again but it was interesting

Fear Of Music by Talking Heads
Mar 12 2026

Most of the songs are forgettable and similar. Just ok

Let It Be by The Replacements
Mar 13 2026

The best songs were instrumentals or more musically focused. The rest are more punk generic and forgettable. Was ok

Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben Jor
Mar 16 2026

Another album I could have lived my life without hearing

Endtroducing..... by DJ Shadow
Mar 17 2026

This sounds like what a 12 year old would do with their first keyboard. Random loops and clips from movies and other songs with generic drum tracks. Boring and random.

Black Metal by Venom
Mar 18 2026

I like many genres of rock and metal but not so much any of this album. Some ok mosh type music but nothing I’ll remember in 20 minutes.

Mar 19 2026

"Violet" is great and I had heard before. The rest was less memorable and began to blur together.

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Mar 20 2026

Singing and musical quality is great but I found myself mostly bored with forgettable songs.

Blood On The Tracks by Bob Dylan
Mar 23 2026

Another example of Bob Dylan’s ability to write great songs but have them never be as good as when others cover them. Great music but he isn’t the best performer.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 31 2026

Decent. Sounded a bit like the Rolling Stones at times

Live At Leeds by The Who
Apr 01 2026

Great live set. Not a massive The Who fan but I enjoyed it.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Apr 02 2026
