Popular Reviews

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band

We can call it music but it is far, far from enjoyable.

1-Star Albums (6)

All Ratings (176)

Wild Gift by X
Dec 01 2025

What a brilliant band and superb album!

Rubber Soul by Beatles
Dec 02 2025

Not as bad as an average Beatles album. It is almost good, actually.

Aladdin Sane by David Bowie
Dec 03 2025

Too '70 for my taste but not a bad album at all.

Master Of Puppets by Metallica
Dec 05 2025

One of the best metal albums of all time. Flawless, heavy and creative. The Number Of The Beast and one or two Megadeth are the others on the very top.

Let's Get It On by Marvin Gaye
Dec 08 2025

Half of it is too tapid for me. The other half is all right - although I do not like this genre.

This Year's Model by Elvis Costello & The Attractions
Dec 09 2025

Good songwriter. The Clash, Red Hot Chili Peppers and so many others can be heard here before they even existed. The bass player, Bruce Thomas, must be mentioned.

Movies by Holger Czukay
Dec 10 2025

Quite strange, artish, unique and ahead of its time. Some parts were entertaining, some were not so much for me.

#1 Record by Big Star
Dec 11 2025

Very '70s. Naive (vacuous?), simple, boring. Not my taste at all. 2 points, closer to 1.5.

Who's Next by The Who
Dec 12 2025

Not bad, not good, not my taste. With the original Behind Blue Eyes on it!

Catch A Fire by Bob Marley & The Wailers
Dec 15 2025

A very good reggae album. I can not stand reggae music.

Fred Neil by Fred Neil
Dec 17 2025

Nice, deep voice, original, personal but quite boring music.

Getz/Gilberto by Stan Getz
Dec 18 2025

Jazz is OK but bossa nova is very far from my taste. Sounds brilliant and, listening objectively, it is a very good album.

Blackstar by David Bowie
Dec 19 2025

Strange, interesting and good enough.

Court And Spark by Joni Mitchell
Dec 23 2025

Unique and very '70. Not my music.

Mott by Mott The Hoople
Dec 25 2025

If you like the music of the 70s... I do not.

The Cars by The Cars
Dec 29 2025

Not bad. Better than most of the others from the 70s, actually.

The Stone Roses by The Stone Roses
Dec 30 2025

I feel too much Beatles in this music for my taste but it is still very close to five stars.

Sail Away by Randy Newman
Dec 31 2025

Very, very good, perfect but not my style.

Idlewild by Everything But The Girl
Jan 01 2026

Perfect name. Perfect music - for The Blue Oyster Bar.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band
Jan 02 2026

We can call it music but it is far, far from enjoyable.

Born In The U.S.A. by Bruce Springsteen
Jan 06 2026

Pop. I'm on fire and Dancing In The Dark are fine. I was born far from the U.S.A.

Mr. Tambourine Man by The Byrds
Jan 08 2026

Oldie. Not bad, nothing special. It is very strange that the album is named after a Bob Dylan song released some month earlier and covered here as the first song on it. 3 points, very close to 2.5.

Foo Fighters by Foo Fighters
Jan 13 2026

Raw. Liked it very much.

Appetite For Destruction by Guns N' Roses
Jan 14 2026

I was not fond of this album when it came out. My opinion changed during the years. Do not forget that this is not the original cover art. That is even better than this one. NINGHTRAIN! 4.5 points, lets say 5.

Van Halen by Van Halen
Jan 15 2026

WOW!!! Sounds very empty - only the three instruments plus the singer, nothing added.

I Am a Bird Now by Antony and the Johnsons
Jan 16 2026

No, no, no, thanks. This voice irritates me. So does the music. :((

Bayou Country by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Jan 19 2026

Almost as boring as 1969 made me believe. 2.5 points.

Fragile by Yes
Jan 20 2026

Oh, no, another progressive rock from the 70s. Mood for a Day is very good classical guitar composition.

Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by Small Faces
Jan 21 2026

Very '60s. Not my taste. Toy Dolls fans: original Lazy Sunday (Afternoon) can be found here.

Dookie by Green Day
Jan 22 2026

Better than the most of the albums I had to listen here. 3.5 points

The Stranger by Billy Joel
Jan 23 2026

Not good, not bad. Gave me nothing.

Diamond Life by Sade
Jan 26 2026

Not my style at all but I like her voice. A very good, peaceful album.

Parklife by Blur
Jan 27 2026

Musical personality goes a long way.

Heaux Tales by Jazmine Sullivan
Jan 29 2026

Is it an R&B week? I am not happy about it. Not strong neither interesting album.

m b v by My Bloody Valentine
Jan 30 2026

Artish, creative. Liked it.

The Next Day by David Bowie
Feb 02 2026

Not bad but not strong either.

The Doors by The Doors
Feb 03 2026

Not so bad. :)

evermore by Taylor Swift
Feb 04 2026

Very close to listenable.

Slipknot by Slipknot
Feb 05 2026

Sick but very creative.

Beggars Banquet by The Rolling Stones
Feb 06 2026

An average R. Stones album.

Tres Hombres by ZZ Top
Feb 10 2026

Very '70s but, exceptionally, I liked it. Three musicans, nobody else.

Skylarking by XTC
Feb 11 2026

'70s in 1986? No, thanks.

Ys by Joanna Newsom
Feb 12 2026

Quite unique and interesting but not as good as strange. Her voice is hmmm, divisive.

Music in Exile by Songhoy Blues
Feb 13 2026

Africa makes it interesting and exotic.

On The Beach by Neil Young
Feb 16 2026

Very '70s. The sound of this era irritates me. Quite boring.

Rattus Norvegicus by The Stranglers
Feb 18 2026

The first three songs and one, two more are fresh, simple, melodic. The other half is average.

The Bends by Radiohead
Feb 19 2026

Very good.

Close To You by Carpenters
Feb 20 2026

Oh, how sweet, soft and kind. And how far from my taste. It could be good in 1970 when released. When I heard Carpenters' version of a The Beatles song I could say nothing but Help. 1.5 points.

Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin
Feb 23 2026

It might be a classic but not my taste of music.

School's Out by Alice Cooper
Feb 25 2026

Very old, sounds old but not bad at all.

Paul's Boutique by Beastie Boys
Feb 26 2026

Neutral. Not bad but did not touch me at all.

Dig Me Out by Sleater-Kinney
Feb 27 2026

Raw, fresh, divisive. Liked it.

Mar 04 2026

I hope it is serious because it is very bad as a joke. The first Depeche Mode album from the very same time is much better than this. 2 points, not far from 1.

War by U2
Mar 06 2026

'I can't believe the news today.' - The situation is the same now, 05.03.2026. Have not heard it for long years but it still works.

Surf's Up by The Beach Boys
Mar 09 2026

This albus shows almost everything I hate about the music of the seventies. Nice album cover artwork by the way.

2112 by Rush
Mar 10 2026

Geddy Lee's voice is the only weak point of this very good album.

My Aim Is True by Elvis Costello
Mar 11 2026

Good music. I like the little The Clash in it. Too much albums of him on this list.

Physical Graffiti by Led Zeppelin
Mar 12 2026

I am not a hard rock fan. Old and a little bit boring for me.

Mar 16 2026

Not so bad but very far from my taste. Two points. Not so far from one.

Songs From The Big Chair by Tears For Fears
Mar 17 2026

I think it is a love or hate band. I like their music very much. The cover of this album...

Eternally Yours by The Saints
Mar 18 2026

They do not sound or look like saints at all but this is very fresh, very, very good music.

The Sensual World by Kate Bush
Mar 19 2026

Speaking about similar style, I prefer Tori Amos' music way more.

The Undertones by The Undertones
Mar 20 2026

An average (soft) punk album. Not aggressive at all, not very original. The Clash, The Ramones did and The Toy Dolls is doing it better.

Connected by Stereo MC's
Mar 27 2026

Neutral with lot of boring parts. Did not touched me at all.

All Directions by The Temptations
Mar 30 2026

Not bad but very far from my taste.

The Yes Album by Yes
Mar 31 2026

Very old but yes, I can say it works.

Maverick A Strike by Finley Quaye
Apr 01 2026

People who have problem with Robert Smith's voice shall listen to this gentleman. Reggae is not my cup of tea. It is not 100% reggae so my point is higher than one.

Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu
Apr 02 2026

Not bad from a modern soul album.

Horses by Patti Smith
Apr 03 2026

I like punk, avant garde and far from the mainstream musics but not this album.

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys
Apr 06 2026

Not as bad as old and boring.

Melodrama by Lorde
Apr 07 2026

Pleasant and easy to listen to. Pop but alternative enogh to please me.

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine
Apr 08 2026

"Artish, creative. Liked it."- I wrote about the other MBV album here. I can repeat it. Very good album.

Gorillaz by Gorillaz
Apr 10 2026

Diverse music. Did not touched me at all but it was good to listen to it. Once.

She's So Unusual by Cyndi Lauper
Apr 13 2026

Not bad but not so unusual pop album. I liked it - with the two big hits.

Tidal by Fiona Apple
Apr 15 2026

Liked the personality, originality of the music and her voice, too. She was only 18 years old when it was released...

Black Monk Time by The Monks
Apr 17 2026

Old but not bad. They tried to be creative and uniqe back in 1966 and they succeeded.

Meat Is Murder by The Smiths
Apr 20 2026

I do not like it but it is very good. Strange to feel it.

I Should Coco by Supergrass
Apr 21 2026

Simple, straight and honest. Liked it.

Paul Simon by Paul Simon
Apr 22 2026

Quite good, has its mood.

Heroes by David Bowie
Apr 23 2026

Bowie, that's all. Again.

Dummy by Portishead
Apr 28 2026

Weird, strange in an "I like it" way.

The Score by Fugees
Apr 30 2026

Ready or Not rulez, other hand sorry, "boys and girls", this is not music for me.

Microshift by Hookworms
May 01 2026

Fresh music from this list - what a surprise. British - and it can be heard. Liked it.

Graceland by Paul Simon
May 04 2026

All in all it's not bad but not my vibe, not my style.

Elvis Presley by Elvis Presley
May 05 2026

Quite good album from 1956.

Lost Souls by Doves
May 07 2026

Free, clean, uplifting.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
May 08 2026

1969 but it is all right.

The ArchAndroid by Janelle Monáe
May 11 2026

Far from my taste, totally new artist on my radar but was quite entertaining and good. Liked it.

Elephant by The White Stripes
May 12 2026

Quite unique.

GREY Area by Little Simz
May 13 2026

Talented but far from my taste.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
May 15 2026

It could be good at 1971 but it is 2026 now.

May 19 2026

As a central European guy I am not touched by this "music" at all.

Bongo Rock by Incredible Bongo Band
May 20 2026

Very cool, has a feeling, liked it.

Aha Shake Heartbreak by Kings of Leon
May 21 2026

Not bad band with an irritating voice that I couldn't get used to.

Brutal Youth by Elvis Costello
May 22 2026

Liked it. Third Costello album I had to listen here - "Too much albums of him on this list." I wrote after the second one.

Live At Leeds by The Who
May 25 2026

Very old to my ears - in the wrong sense of the word.

Kenza by Khaled
May 28 2026

Arabic pop? Far from me.

Modern Kosmology by Jane Weaver
May 29 2026

Much better than 80% of the albums here, I liked it very much.

Is This It by The Strokes
Jun 01 2026

It has a feeling that I like - and I am not speaking (only) about the cover now.

Aftermath by The Rolling Stones
Jun 02 2026

Under My Thumb is one of the very best songs of The Stones. Goin' Home is longer than eleven minutes - way too long, othervive the whole album is fine.

Rumours by Fleetwood Mac
Jun 03 2026

Halfway between Simon&Garfunkel and ABBA with even more pop? Not bad but nothing special.

Germfree Adolescents by X-Ray Spex
Jun 04 2026

Punk with attitude, female singer, saxophone and very good songs. Simple and I like it like this.

Face to Face by The Kinks
Jun 05 2026

Very The Beatles, very '60s, very weak.

Metallica by Metallica
Jun 08 2026

I laughed at it, loud, when it came out. What pop music it was after the albums before it - although it has a very strong and heavy sound. Bass is a new guest after ... And Justice For All. Listening to it now I can say I like this album - maybe because their albums after this one are even weaker. Melodies and most of the songs are good, that is how pop music works, but these are all on my pros list. Meowings are not guitar solos. This band is very limited.

Shleep by Robert Wyatt
Jun 10 2026

It has its own style but this music is too strange and too boring for me in the same time.

American Idiot by Green Day
Jun 11 2026

Green Day - nothing special. More american than idiot.

Teenage Head by Flamin' Groovies
Jun 12 2026

When Rolling Stones meets ZZ Top and New York Dolls - inviting Elvis for one song.

3 + 3 by The Isley Brothers
Jun 16 2026

Tepid, feminime.

Os Mutantes by Os Mutantes
Jun 17 2026

Oh, no, no, NO. Please, no. It will be hard to forget this.

Kala by M.I.A.
Jun 18 2026

Using Iron Maiden letters is a crime. Her "music" is an other one.

Trafalgar by Bee Gees
Jun 23 2026

Oh, how boring it is! Very.

Jun 24 2026

I am a metal fan but Pantera was never on the list of my favourite ones. I miss musicality here. Knowing that the title of this album is not 'Musicality', I must say it is all right - but I do not like it at all.

Protection by Massive Attack
Jun 25 2026

It looks like basically I like trip hop. Some songs are boring but the mood of the others is/are very welcomed. I can hear Faithless in some parts.

KIWANUKA by Michael Kiwanuka
Jun 26 2026

Not bad but nothing special.

Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Jun 30 2026

Not bad at all but, as every Pink Floyd album, it is b-o-r-i-n-g.

Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jul 02 2026

I am not old enough to like it more than three points.

Led Zeppelin III by Led Zeppelin
Jul 03 2026

I am sure it was great then. Now it is and sounds old.

Violent Femmes by Violent Femmes
Jul 06 2026

Quite alternative, very acoustic. I like it.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jul 07 2026

Not their best album, not even in the top 3, but very important and much better than most of the others I listened here. Today and Disarm are WOWWW!!!

New Boots And Panties by Ian Dury
Jul 08 2026

From disco to punk on one LP? Interesting with some good songs but there are too many disco vibes that reduce the points.

Frank by Amy Winehouse
Jul 09 2026

Talent, nice voice. Nice debut.

Suicide by Suicide
Jul 10 2026

Experimental, creative, the first half of it worths a listen. But not more.

The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
Jul 13 2026

Nothing special but I like its mood and vibe. Favourite song: Deep Blue.

Tom Tom Club by Tom Tom Club
Jul 23 2026

People who call heavy metal primitive must hear this album and rethink their opinion. Very simple, weak, poor music.

Among The Living by Anthrax
Jul 24 2026

Way not the best Anthrax album but a classic.

Franz Ferdinand by Franz Ferdinand
Jul 27 2026

Half of the songs are brilliant.

Freak Out! by The Mothers Of Invention
Jul 29 2026

Creative and very good. The last quarter hour is an other story. :)

Take Me Apart by Kelela
Jul 30 2026

Some of the songs are not as boring as I thought but almost. The rest are.

Basket of Light by Pentangle
Jul 31 2026

Oh... Very British, folk, refreshing, creative, liked it very much.

25 by Adele
Aug 03 2026

I prefer 21 to 25 but it is also a brilliant LP of a songwriter (!!) showing her voice in its best.

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic
Aug 05 2026

Starts wiht a ten-minute long instrumental, guitar solo. And it is quite good just like the rest part of the record. They mixed different styles very successfully in a very enjoyable way.

Shaka Zulu by Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Aug 06 2026

I do this 1001 list to find unique albums. It is one of those, and there are only a few, that meet this criterion. Liked it.

En-Tact by The Shamen
Aug 07 2026

Listenable. Once. In the background.

All Things Must Pass by George Harrison
Aug 10 2026

Better than some of the Beatles albums but still VERY far from good.

Be by Common
Aug 11 2026

Almost as good as a rap album can be without Eminem.
