Popular Reviews

Birth Of The Cool by Miles Davis

I think another commenter summed this up good for me. "Jazz melts in to the bakground and disapears, to me. I reallice that this is god jazz, but i cant rember anything from listening to this record." Ignore his god awful english. His point is good, I think it's good background music, and realise the mastership and that this was the birth of cool jazz. But would only put this on if I was cooking a 5 star meal.

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt

Sometimes I think I have good taste, until I listen to noise rock and absolutely love it.

Abbey Road by Beatles

When I was 16, 3 years ago. I was sitting in my then girlfriends room while she was showing me her record collection. I quite frankly didn't really care since I wasn't interested in music much. She shows me this album which I recognise, since 4 distinct looking men were crossing the street but I couldn't name it. She asked me for the name, and I struggled. But I thought it had something to do with a lane, or way, or road. But after a few minutes of guessing london lane and similar guesses, she cut my off. She told me it was called Abbey Road, and I remembered hearing that name before. Two years passed and since we have broken up. I'm listening to a spotify jam with friends, when someone puts on "I want you (she's so heavy"). I was big into grunge/metal/prog at the time and were suprised the beatles made that song. So at home I listened to the album, and didn't really care at first, but I craved a second listen after a while. And after that second listen I fell in love with the album. Another year has passed, and I have to listen to Revolver because of this app. At first, I don't get it. But after another week I started craving it. And then I wanted to listen to other Beatles albums. 3 months has passed and I absolutely adore them, having listened to every album now, I think my favourite is either this or "With the Beatles". So an absolutely deserved 5/5 for me.

Revolver by Beatles
Dec 12 2025

I like it how I like most beatles albums I've listened to. It feels like one beatly mess with 1 or 2 ultra iconic bangers. Eleanor rigby is of course great and iconic. Yellow submarine is also good. But I find myself lost in the same kind of style for the other songs. I get the beatles influence. But can't get myself to like their albums. (Except abby road <3). Got myself into them after getting songs stuck in my head, bumped this up to a 4!.

Blue Lines by Massive Attack
Dec 13 2025

Pretty good, will listen again sometime. First and last tracks were great. Prob like a 3.5/5

Celebrity Skin by Hole
Dec 14 2025

Yeah, ts shit is good. Really enjoyable, Listened to it twice in a row. I always have a weak for some good rock. Prob like a 4/5.

Tracy Chapman by Tracy Chapman
Dec 15 2025

Didn't expect to like it, since I've never dabbled in folk music. But this was great. The reason I started this journey was to discover music outside my favorite genre. And Tracy Chapman will definitely stay on the roster. Easy 4/5.

Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Dec 16 2025

Good, but pretty uninspiring, that title track rocks. Will return but not soon.

Out Of The Blue by Electric Light Orchestra
Dec 17 2025

First album I had heard before. Mr blue sky just gets stuck in my head. But i think the album is too long.

Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons
Dec 18 2025

I don't like country, and this didn't convince me. Some good moments in a pile of mid.

Lost In The Dream by The War On Drugs
Dec 19 2025

I really like this, I was studying for my upcoming exam, and this was exactly the music that fit my mood. Debating between 4/5 and 5/5. But I will return again, and add this to my liked albums.

Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane
Dec 20 2025

Ts was kinda fun. Some boring moments, and the production was abhorent (prob for todays standards, I'm guessing it sounded fine in the great '67). Cool to know where "Somebody to love" came from. I will return to, because I liked the rock 'n roll vibe. Between 3-4.

C'est Chic by CHIC
Dec 21 2025

Fun listen, never knew them, now i do.

Graceland by Paul Simon
Dec 27 2025

Ts was fun, put ts of to listen to it, but its great. Between 4/5 for me, so might change on a relisten

Timeless by Goldie
Dec 28 2025

They didn't have to put the same track twice as album closer. Still I enjoyed this alot as the meditative work music this is supposed to be. 1001 album generator listeners just can't enjoy albums >67 mins.

Dec 29 2025

Jesus I liked this way more than I thought, I'm not a rap fan, or atleast, I haven't tried. But I liked ts. Debating 3 or 4. Might change on a relisten but rn a 3.

Odessey And Oracle by The Zombies
Jan 02 2026

Been listening to the beatles more lately, so maybe that's why I liked this 60's album a lot. Usually don't dig old stuff but ts was great.

Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Jan 03 2026

This is NPC rock, unfortunately I'm not a so called "free-thinker"

Wild Is The Wind by Nina Simone
Jan 06 2026

Wild is the wind, more tame is this album.

B-52's by The B-52's
Jan 07 2026

At first I didn't like ts, then I did. I can see James Murphy jamming along to this.

Surfer Rosa by Pixies
Jan 09 2026

Ts is good. Already liked pixies and listened to doolittle before. Knew "where is your mind? ", so I kinda knew I was gonna like this.

The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths
Jan 10 2026

Summer >"I'm going to ruin your life' Tom >*mumbles* "Hi" Summer >"I Said I love the Smiths"

Since I Left You by The Avalanches
Jan 11 2026

Already knew ts, My generator is on a hot streaks recently, with albums like surfer rosa, the queen is dead and since I left you following eachother up. Ts an easy 5 for me. Introduced me to the genre and loved it ever since. The relisten was fun aswell. I also really like the fact every songs transitions very smoothly into every other song.

Whatever by Aimee Mann
Jan 12 2026

Maybe I'm just too whimsical, but I hoped this album would lower my average score (4.0 at the time of writing). But I kinda liked it a little. Giving it a 3 because I still don't like pop all to much. Writing away my high average score due to small sampling bias.

Pearl by Janis Joplin
Jan 13 2026

Mercedes benz was less enjoyable than nails on a chalkboard. The rest was fine though.

The Number Of The Beast by Iron Maiden
Jan 15 2026

I can't not give this a 5. My dad used to play this all the time. Still does.

Head Hunters by Herbie Hancock
Jan 17 2026

Amazing, always love long tracks

Wonderful Rainbow by Lightning Bolt
Jan 18 2026

Sometimes I think I have good taste, until I listen to noise rock and absolutely love it.

Seventeen Seconds by The Cure
Jan 20 2026

I love both the Smiths and the Cure. Now what?

Permission to Land by The Darkness
Jan 22 2026

I don't know why I would listen to this instead of the classic glam rock of the 80's. Also this is too soft to hit my metal spot, and too bland to hit my rock spot.

After The Gold Rush by Neil Young
Jan 23 2026

Southern man is a banger. The instrumentals really soothe me, but the voice doesn't as much.

Siamese Dream by The Smashing Pumpkins
Jan 24 2026

Never listened before, because I knew I was gonna like it and it wouldn't be challenging or different. End result, I liked it.

Station To Station by David Bowie
Jan 25 2026

Damn, never really listened to Bowie but really liked this.

Blue by Joni Mitchell
Jan 26 2026

It sounds like a grower. But the seed has only just been planted. Need to relisten but definitely solid.

The Velvet Underground by The Velvet Underground
Jan 27 2026

My introduction to this group, the vocals can sometimes be a bit too quiet. But the instrumentals are great. Gonna revisit.

Shaft by Isaac Hayes
Jan 28 2026

Fun, but not too memorable yet, prob because it wasn't on spotify so I wasn't paying attention to tracks.

Metallica by Metallica
Jan 29 2026

It's metallica. Not them at their creative peak, no way. But it's good. Probably won't return to the full album, but a few songs are legendary.

Document by R.E.M.
Jan 30 2026

It's the end of the album and I hated it.

Stankonia by OutKast
Jan 31 2026

BREAK! or also called, annoying interlude. I like music in my albums not skits. Nevertheless. This album had some good music. But also, it's rap, which I'm still not the biggest fan of. Hoping this challenge can change that, but for now 3 because of the hits.

Bone Machine by Tom Waits
Feb 01 2026

Really interesting what the prospect of death does to artists like Bowie and Waits. While this album is inconsistent in its quality, it has a consistently dark theme and I dig it.

Miriam Makeba by Miriam Makeba
Feb 02 2026

Interesting. But i didn't quite enjoy it.

Hunky Dory by David Bowie
Feb 03 2026

Ch-ch-ch-changes

Feb 04 2026

I liked this better than Gram Parsons personal project. Still it suffers from that generic country sound.

Feb 06 2026

I've only been doing this for 50 days, and have already heard 2 better electronic album than this one. Still I quite like the hypnotizing factor of electronics, so it's not gonna be slanderd.

All Directions by The Temptations
Feb 07 2026

Ts was good, gonna relisten again.

Fuzzy Logic by Super Furry Animals
Feb 08 2026

What if the Beatles were Welsch?

xx by The xx
Feb 09 2026

Music for if your in a situationship with a girl. you're still together but it's not gonna work out.

In Rainbows by Radiohead
Feb 11 2026

Makes me want to listen to In Rainbows from the basement. This one might grow on me, but it still feels a bit whimy.

Bright Flight by Silver Jews
Feb 12 2026

The best part of the album is when he shut the fuck up

Tago Mago by Can
Feb 13 2026

Damn, post rock in 1970

The Wall by Pink Floyd
Feb 14 2026

It overstays it's welcome. It's the weakest big 4 Floyd album. I'd even argue that Meddle is stronger. For every amazing song you have 5 mid songs. Still I can not go below a 4, just for Another Brick in The Wall pt 2. Also I must say I need to watch the movie.

Dance Mania by Tito Puente
Feb 15 2026

I just.. don't care for this. Not a 1 because it shows good music, but I don't want to listen to it.

Reggatta De Blanc by The Police
Feb 17 2026

I knew "message in a bottle" without knowing it. Anyway good album, not great.

Goo by Sonic Youth
Feb 18 2026

May listen to these guys more. Very enjoyable, might bump up the score if the second listen hits harder.

Abbey Road by Beatles

Music From The Penguin Cafe by Penguin Cafe Orchestra
Feb 26 2026

I just love how some dudes decided to call themselves the "Penguin Cafe Orchestra". They even make some cool music. Gonna listen again!
