Moondance by Van Morrison

Pretty boring

Dirty by Sonic Youth

I kept seeing stuff about how experimental and weird this album is, what are you talking about??? This is a relatively generic alt rock album, not the residents. Let down on my expectations, but still good

Amazing album! Was expecting a different sound when I saw country rock, but was very pleasantly surprised, this album is great.

Hounds Of Love by Kate Bush
Oct 07 2025

Great album! Closer to 4.5 than 5, but they don't have that

Oct 08 2025

Second album in a row I've already listened to, good though!

The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest
Oct 09 2025

Third album I've already listened to in a row, I've listened to around 200 total how does this happen, but still great hip hop

Alright, not going back to any of the songs after, but an enjoyable listen. Kinda blended together Best and worst: blended too much to pick one 5.5/10

Palo Congo by Sabu
Oct 13 2025

Good, not enough lyrics/vocals for me generally though. Worst:Asabache Best: Aggo elegua 7/10

Dirt by Alice In Chains
Oct 14 2025

I see why people call them the best of the big 4 grunge bands, although I prefer nirvana and PJ. Best track: sickman Worst track Hard to pick, title track I guess 4.75

Oct 15 2025

Good, not as good as some peopl say, but a good hip hop album Favorite:chess boxing Least favorite: one of the interludes

Live And Dangerous by Thin Lizzy
Oct 16 2025

Jesus CHRIST this is the most boring album I've ever listened to. It's so boring let me listen to something else please an album that isn't just similar guitar riffs let me out let me out let me out

Who's Next by The Who
Oct 17 2025

Write a whole thing, but good album, way better than the one yesterday.(Live and dangerous) Middle falls off a bit, but beginning and end are great Best: Behind Blue Eyes Worst: Going Mobile

Abbey Road by Beatles
Oct 18 2025

Been meaning to listen for a while, unsurprisingly. Good? Not my personal fave beatles album, but good Favorite song: Medley Least Favorite: Here comes the sun (still good) 4.75 stars

Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Oct 19 2025

I was not expecting to enjoy this nearly as much as I do going into it. AMAZING album, feels like an earlier version of a lot of later experimental hiphop, beats are so good, and vocals sound good in this context. Will relisten, genuine 10/10 album, my 10th or so Favorite: Stop Dat Least Favorite: Jezebel

Joan Armatrading by Joan Armatrading
Oct 20 2025

Alright, feels like tracy chapman pre tracy chapman, 7/10

All Directions by The Temptations
Oct 21 2025

Good album! Papa was a rollin' stone is the standout track by far, but the rest of the album is alright.

At Mister Kelly's by Sarah Vaughan
Oct 22 2025

Alright, not really my style of music, but it was ok

Phrenology by The Roots
Oct 23 2025

Underrated rap album, I get why people dislike it but I am not one of those people. It is not a great album statement, but it is an amazing collection of songs 4.75 Favorite song:Water Least favorite:Break you off

Moondance by Van Morrison
Oct 26 2025

Pretty boring

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Oct 27 2025

Great britpop album, seems harder rock than most and really enjoyable

Garbage by Garbage
Oct 28 2025

Great alt rock/triphop album, 4.5

The Man Who by Travis
Oct 29 2025

Boring ripoff Coldplay, who are already ripoff Radiohead. Sounds like elevator music but with bad whiny pop punk vocals, but it it had heard ok computer once 3 years ago and is trying to describe it within that context

Made In Japan by Deep Purple
Oct 30 2025

Alright, seriously overrated though

Go Girl Crazy by The Dictators
Oct 31 2025

Alright, was enjoyable but not going to relisten

Psychocandy by The Jesus And Mary Chain
Nov 03 2025

Really good, feels very shoegazey and interesting. Almost 5, but rounding down to 4

The Grand Tour by George Jones
Nov 06 2025

Everyone needs to stop putting ballads in non ballad focused albums. They're always terrible. In this case they're partially sexist and just sound terrible. The actual country songs are alright generally like 3 stars. Our private life however, is genuinely an amazing, righteously angry song that sounds happy, and raised this album up 1 star

Superfly by Curtis Mayfield
Nov 08 2025

Good soul album

American Beauty by Grateful Dead
Nov 09 2025

Alright, relatively enjoyed the listen

Either Or by Elliott Smith
Nov 10 2025

THE sad indie rock album.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Nov 12 2025

Good album! I see why people love it, but it's just ok. I would probably be much harsher if this wasn't the first smiths/Morrissey album I got

Roxy Music by Roxy Music
Nov 13 2025

Great! Prefer the solo work of eno, but that doesn't mean this isn't amazing

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Nov 14 2025

Seems more shoegazey than britpoppy like I was expecting, which is personally unfortunate.

Kala by M.I.A.
Nov 17 2025

Genuinely amazing album, shame she's a far right crazy now

Make Yourself by Incubus
Nov 19 2025

Overhated, sounds more like pop punk than nu metal personally

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Nov 20 2025

Ballads are generally mid minus dreams, but otherwise good

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Nov 22 2025

Alright, way worse than Ziggy stardust though. 3.5 or so

Orbital 2 by Orbital
Nov 23 2025

This really isn't my thing, probably will revisit later and maybe like it, but way too repetitive

Seventh Tree by Goldfrapp
Nov 24 2025

Good album, not a new favorite or anything, but it's good

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Nov 26 2025

I need to listen to more doors if this is what the doors sound like, really enjoyed this.

Ragged Glory by Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Nov 27 2025

Started dragging 2/3 in but last song is peak

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Nov 28 2025

Top 5 albums oat, had already listened

A Northern Soul by The Verve
Dec 01 2025

Decent album, not a new favorits but it's a decent shoegazey britpop album

Queen II by Queen
Dec 03 2025

Good, first queen album I've listened to and has some misses, but without those it would be 5

Dirty by Sonic Youth
Dec 06 2025

I kept seeing stuff about how experimental and weird this album is, what are you talking about??? This is a relatively generic alt rock album, not the residents. Let down on my expectations, but still good

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Dec 07 2025

List of things I like about gnr: Slash is a good guitarist, and most of the band is very technically talented List of things I dislike about gnr: Axl rose is a horrid vocalist, bottom 5 of all time Lyrics are terrible Music is boring and sounds the exact same flavor of boring throughout the course of this hour long album How is this dog shit album so universally beloved?

Live At Leeds by The Who
Dec 08 2025

Pretty good, but for some reason I keep getting the who after terrible albums as a palate cleanser. Thank you 1001 albums gods.

The Clash by The Clash
Dec 09 2025

Not as good as London calling, but it's a very good punk album

Van Halen by Van Halen
Dec 10 2025

Talented musicians making boring music

The Slim Shady LP by Eminem
Dec 15 2025

I think this album is needlessly edgy in a lot of places. I do not think that makes it all inherently terrible

A Love Supreme by John Coltrane
Dec 16 2025

Good background music, but I don't see what really interests everyone else

S&M by Metallica
Dec 18 2025

Has like an hour of relatively filler tracks, but the other hour is so peak it's insane

Raising Hell by Run-D.M.C.
Dec 20 2025

The start of this album is great, and it just gets progressively worse (none of it is bad though)

Rapture by Anita Baker
Dec 22 2025

I can only find half of this album ANYWHERE, so that half is pretty mediocre

Aqualung by Jethro Tull
Dec 23 2025

Pretty good, although not great

Hms Fable by Shack
Dec 25 2025

I did not realize this was a different album than the last one for WAY too long. Not especially interesing

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Dec 27 2025

Genuinely just sounds like background music, idk why I just haven't enjoyed much of the jazz I've listened to

Odelay by Beck
Dec 28 2025

Really enjoyed, almost a 5

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg by Jerry Lee Lewis
Dec 29 2025

The fact that he dated his 13 year old cousin really ruined it for me, along with the first song being about dancing at a high school when he was like 30

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Jan 02 2026

Enjoyed, despite how sexual it was

Butterfly by Mariah Carey
Jan 04 2026

Genuinely so boring

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jan 05 2026

Feels like a parody of glam rock, but a really goddamn good one.

Stand! by Sly & The Family Stone
Jan 06 2026

I rated this a while ago, with something bigger, but it didn't go through. It's good!

Jan 07 2026

Pretty alright, but sounds pre beatles, unlike the better kinks albums which sound post beatles

In Our Heads by Hot Chip
Jan 08 2026

Pretty good, but not anything incredible. Will not re listen, but enjoyed

Jan 11 2026

Sounds like a mix of lofi, radiohead, and stone sour

The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips
Jan 12 2026

Not as good as yoshimi, but few albums are

Five Leaves Left by Nick Drake
Jan 13 2026

I just dont enjoy it as much as i should

Fear and Whiskey by Mekons
Jan 15 2026

Good, but definitely not the first alt country album, as the description mentions. Hallowed ground was the year before (also definitely not the first), and many more before

Teenager Of The Year by Frank Black
Jan 16 2026

A couple days ago I listened to 1.5 hours of https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pKQp61e94VE, and it was magnitudes more enjoyable than this album's 3rd part. Rest of it was ok though

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Jan 19 2026

Was expecting this to be around 3 stars. Why the fuck is this SO GOOD

To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar
Jan 20 2026

Somehow never actually listened, and I see how this changed so many people's lives and music taste

So by Peter Gabriel
Jan 21 2026

If there was like 25% less 80s cheese, it would be a 5

GREY Area by Little Simz
Jan 22 2026

Pretty good, simbe's way better though

Jan 23 2026

I didn't think I would like this because I'm pretty meh on this version of hurt (probably because of how much I love the original, and this version just does NOT stand up to me), but every other song on here is amazing

Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Jan 25 2026

Meadowlarks is the only kind of filler song on this album, and it's instantly followed up with my favorite fleet foxes song soooo

Arrival by ABBA
Jan 26 2026

Enjoyable, but too much filler to be amazing

Jan 27 2026

A bunch of just really sexist and homophobic lyrics, but the beats were good along with the songs that weren't about that

Rip It Up by Orange Juice
Jan 29 2026

Generic post punk album

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
Jan 30 2026

Alright, not great, but not terrible either. Pretty mediocre post punk. Some songs were fun, and some were boring

Face to Face by The Kinks
Feb 01 2026

Pre revolver kinks were better than pre revolver beatles

Green by R.E.M.
Feb 05 2026

Pretty good!

Rain Dogs by Tom Waits
Feb 07 2026

I LOVE everything about this album except his voice for some reason. It's really weird because I love Cohen and Dylan and all of the other bad singer, but his voice irritates me. Everything else is still so perfect it gets a 5

Swordfishtrombones by Tom Waits
Feb 08 2026

Got rain dogs yesterday, and I'm starting to like his voice way more now

In Utero by Nirvana
Feb 09 2026

Obviously one of the greatest rock albums ever, imo pretty significantly better than nevermind. Genuinely love this album and every song on here

Music From Big Pink by The Band
Feb 10 2026

Enjoyed, obviously the weight is peak. Rest of the album was good, with the first track being especially good.

Water From An Ancient Well by Abdullah Ibrahim
Feb 11 2026

Boring, listened to this while doing homework and was more focused on the homework, which is NOT common. Just sounds like the same thing for however long this went on

Feb 13 2026

Intermission was genuinely my favorite track here, but the rest was good

It's Blitz! by Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Feb 14 2026

Pretty decent, although not anything incredible

Feb 17 2026

Pretty good, enjoyed it a lot. Night swimming is really good, and much more introspective than other rem albums I've listened to

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Feb 19 2026

It was enjoyable! Not a new favorite or anything, but it was good

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Feb 20 2026

Ok ig
