Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine

very good punk album. strangle tim commerford. praise everybody else. music is a four, lyrics are a 5. You should rather listen to The Battle of Los Angeles, though. its more consistent and doesn’t have (what im coining) “dead spaces” where its just Tim and no one else, not even Brad. Evil Empire was their worst of the four, but was still fucking amazing. in Renegades, they somehow made every fucking song sound like their own writing. 10/10 band. 10/10 lyrics. fuck paul ryan

So by Peter Gabriel
Feb 21 2024

its definitely good, but its boring.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Feb 22 2024

i eventually got bored with it. if it didnt have such a heavy tone, it would basically be psychadelic rock. objectively good. but i am no metalhead

good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar
Mar 04 2024

i mean, i liked TPAB, i like the lyrical complexity and meaning, but i just cant like the beats. Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe and Backseat Freestyling had good beats, but it just doesn’t make up for the lack of in the other places

Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones
Mar 17 2024

Very nice towards the end. Not really a fan of the beginning. Personally, im into harder music.

Marquee Moon by Television
Mar 23 2024

"oh wow! i expected this one to just be filler so there would be 1001, but this one has groove to it. Very mellow, down-to-earth rock. Pretty unique. I like it."

Madman Across The Water by Elton John
Mar 27 2024

Love “Tiny Dancer”. Loved the piano. Elton John is a classic.

Off The Wall by Michael Jackson
Mar 31 2024

i feel nothing towards this.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Apr 01 2024

no killer on it that’s worth a five

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Apr 05 2024

good synth work, but there just really isn't anything absolutely great on it.

Remain In Light by Talking Heads
Apr 12 2024

Very, very strange and dark.

Licensed To Ill by Beastie Boys
Apr 24 2024

used to love this one when i was younger.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 27 2024

oooh thats where it came from

Exile On Main Street by The Rolling Stones
Apr 29 2024

Nothing inherently wrong with it. Doesn't really go hard. Pretty boring, honestly. It is good. I dont like it.

Eliminator by ZZ Top
May 09 2024

love the sound of an old compressed fender

Thriller by Michael Jackson
May 31 2024

takes a second to warm up but once its going its going. starts strong then doesnt return until Thriller.

2112 by Rush
Jun 07 2024

what a visceral experience. it was honestly a relief that the first song was over. the production was great. 38 minutes feels too short for an album like this. love a good rock opera

Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin
Jun 14 2024

...ehh? I prefer my led to have a polished sound, thanks

Jul 08 2024

Objectively good. I liked it. 3 for good. 0.5 for the first song. 0.5 for the last song (Gravity Falls). -1 for creative differences.

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Jul 28 2024

electronica… punk? that can happen?

Hysteria by Def Leppard
Aug 08 2024

dont get me wrong, but this album isn’t that great, compared to Pyromania. every song, there’s a different section that goes a little too long that’s just synthesizers going crazy. I love Pyromania, but i just can’t sit still long enough for this one.

Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy
Sep 06 2024

"As a person who likes protest music, this is ok. If you're into sample-heavy stuff, you'll like this. The best songs on this one have chuck and flav rapping together (Fight The Power, for instance). Personal fan of Fight The Power. 6/10 Probably in my collection"

Document by R.E.M.
Sep 13 2024

very different from what i listen to. i like it.

Brothers In Arms by Dire Straits
Sep 22 2024

Dark and strange. Launched the compact disc though

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Nov 28 2024

each musician is great in their own right. especially Copeland. i really likes the instrumental part of the album, like Walking on the Moon. it goes on a little too long, though. listened to at school. my discman died during song 10 :(

Bryter Layter by Nick Drake
Dec 13 2024

i liked this one. nice acoustic folk. little jazzy

Hotel California by Eagles
Jan 21 2025

I think it’s maybe a little overhyped. it’s definitely good, but i think Eagles spanned too many genres. they should’ve stuck to a classic sound. i love Don Henley.

Toys In The Attic by Aerosmith
Jan 28 2025

Objectively good. Slightly boring. I want to strangle the bassist for "Sweet Emotion". I liked it.

1984 by Van Halen
Feb 03 2025

"1984 wasn’t their best, but its the first Van Halen my dad ever heard. He got that album in 1984 when he was 9 years old. Today, I can still listen to that same record. uhh since i’ve listened to the rest of their discography, here’s a review of the rest: Van Halen II: ..eh? everyone says that this one is better than I, but i really just dont see it. Women And Children First: definitely my favorite. love the acoustic work on it. Fair Warning: probably the most consistent one. very bass heavy, which i love, but also Michael Anthony tuned to C# for it, so strangle. Diver Down: WHY are there SO MANY COVERS 5150: good intro album for Sammy Hagar OU812: most consistent Hagar album. a little too down low to be honest For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge: i also dont get the hype for this one to be honest. it should be on the list because it was the only VH album to win an award and got them on live television (VMAs). Balance: This one took a while and was very influenced by Kurt Cobain’s suicide. the band was kind of at the end of their musical ability and you can definitely hear it. Van Halen III: nope nope nope nope nope nope A Different Kind Of Truth: Loved to hear Wolfie on this one. they really turned the gain up to 11"

American Idiot by Green Day
Feb 10 2025

"It’s late at night. your parents think that you’re sleeping. you’ve listened to this one before, but can’t really remember all of it, so you decide to listen again. and every song, there is a different “holy shit this is so good” moment. lyrics that revel against the Iraq war, media polarization, and the bush administration. The band really matured with this one, too. They haven’t really gone back to their old sound. 11/10 the best album of the millennium"

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Feb 16 2025

I, III, and this one have a problem of being boring. if i were to describe what this sounds like, it would be “waiting for something that never arrives,” and I can’t tell if that something is the end of the album or some killer song. its pretty boring. there’s definitely some good songs on here (fav: trampled under foot) but they’re spaced too far apart. this album shouldn’t have been a double, in my opinion. would’ve saved me some time and been much better.

Feb 28 2025

Very consistently Queen. Absolutely nothing wrong with this album (except for prophet song). I’m not a fan of Prophet Song. Ultimately, Bohemian Rhapsody.

Rage Against The Machine by Rage Against The Machine
Mar 21 2025

very good punk album. strangle tim commerford. praise everybody else. music is a four, lyrics are a 5. You should rather listen to The Battle of Los Angeles, though. its more consistent and doesn’t have (what im coining) “dead spaces” where its just Tim and no one else, not even Brad. Evil Empire was their worst of the four, but was still fucking amazing. in Renegades, they somehow made every fucking song sound like their own writing. 10/10 band. 10/10 lyrics. fuck paul ryan

Melodrama by Lorde
May 27 2025

I very heavily dislike this album. I very much want to like what im listening to, but i disliked almost every song. was literally tortured by it

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jun 27 2025

"It’s 1978. The best guitar playing you’ve ever really heard is Jimmy Paige. You hear about this album and this awesome guitar playing. As you drop the needle (as was standard for the time), Eddie blasts off."

Ten by Pearl Jam
Jul 26 2025

fun

Queens of the Stone Age by Queens Of The Stone Age
Jul 28 2025

pretty good. the instrumentals were alright at worst. lets strangle the bassist for tuning so fucking low.

Guero by Beck
Aug 13 2025
Music by Madonna
Sep 03 2025

the beats are fresh but overall it really doesn’t deliver like other songs for me. and it sounds really bad when you have an acoustic guitar and synthesized drums in this era. auto tune and that’s it.

Nevermind by Nirvana
Sep 19 2025

ah yes, the “FUCK YEAAHHHH” to “life is pain” pipeline

London Calling by The Clash
Sep 20 2025

the album sets up an expectation with “London Calling,” then it doesn’t deliver on that, instead giving songs that sound like a road trip in the rolling hills of Hertsfordshire or something i dont know im not british.

Blur by Blur
Oct 27 2025

i dont get it. Song 2 and nothing else.

Tusk by Fleetwood Mac
Dec 02 2025

goes on and on. its not like The Suburbs where the songs are all the same. it has variations here in there. gives off slow dance vibes.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Dec 10 2025

Seems to go on with not that much change in the songs. pretty fucking boring.

Vivid by Living Colour
Dec 23 2025

very very ok. only worth listening to cult of personality.

Time Out by The Dave Brubeck Quartet
Jan 16 2026

I’m sorry to all the jazz heads, but this all sounds the same to me. plus, Take Five is waaaaaaaaaayyyyy overplayed for me to still like it. 2/10

Screamadelica by Primal Scream
Jan 20 2026

Funky. Slight psych rock. i liked it.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Feb 06 2026

Immigrant Song and then blues. Not too boring, not too interesting. very repetitive when the songs sound the same. I, III, and Physical Graffiti have the problem of not having any good killer on them. After a second listening, perhaps I was too harsh on it.

Abraxas by Santana
Feb 09 2026

each song keeps the album fresh. the Latin beat is nice

Pacific Ocean Blue by Dennis Wilson
Feb 23 2026

i enjoyed this album. its very good. but i did not like the banjo.

Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Feb 27 2026

its exactly like The Suburbs. goes on. nothing notable. was bumpin in the first few songs.

Bad by Michael Jackson
Mar 03 2026

Pretty good. Has my favorite Jackson song on it (“Man In The Mirror”). Would say its a four but with the bigger hits on it (“Man In The Mirror,” “Smooth Criminal”) its a 4.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Mar 05 2026

"The best in men's clothing Call Paul's Boutique, ask for Janice The number is 718-498-1043 That's Paul's Boutique, and they're in Brooklyn"

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Mar 25 2026

nothing that was an absolute killer worth a 5. other than that I like tom petty

Hybrid Theory by Linkin Park
Apr 03 2026

Ok so. i gave this one a try after peer pressured by my friends who have a slightly different taste than i. i did not like it. but it’s alright. im just simply not into nu metal.

Apr 15 2026

Dead Kennedys have always been too hardcore for me. the riffs are too dissonant. the vocals too… whatever that is. its just scratchy noise rock to me.

Darkdancer by Les Rythmes Digitales
Apr 24 2026

French dance beat. it sounded pretty ok.

Led Zeppelin II by Led Zeppelin
May 13 2026

wow! very good! huge improvement from I. but then they dropped the ball with III.

Dare! by The Human League
May 31 2026

I. love. synth rock. this isn't the best synth rock.

Sea Change by Beck
Jun 04 2026

standard beck, but the slow bits. 3.5

Fly Or Die by N.E.R.D
Jun 11 2026

i can hear a lot of talented musicians and producers. neither liked nor disliked per se. very objectively good

Jun 12 2026

"man, Superfuzz Bigmuff was pretty good i wonder i-" the answer was no. Superfuzz Bigmuff had some quality to it that this does not. the albums sound the same except the apparent magic was absent ig. 2.5

Odelay by Beck
Jun 20 2026

this is like a 4.5. definitely good, but it would be nice if he had forgone the random samples.

Purple Rain by Prince
Jun 25 2026

wow. just wow. that little man was REALLY horny.

Metallica by Metallica
Jul 01 2026

Some standout tracks on here that aren't the ones everyone knows.

Are You Experienced by Jimi Hendrix
Jul 09 2026

Yes, Jimi, I am experienced. And it was fucking amazing. I got this LP during a vacation trip. Though remorseful the buyer felt, it was worth it. Favorite song: Waterfall or possible Are You Experienced?

Pump by Aerosmith
Jul 25 2026

this is the last of my Aerosmith. definitely the best out of the three, and I believe that Get a Grip should also be on the list. for this one, I can still regularly hear 3 of the songs on the radio, compared to Toys' 2 and Rocks' maybe 1. and I had an actual feeling with Pump as well. didn't have it with the other two.
